How to Wash q Wood Floor.

"Top-dust'' can be washed off without
great labor. Have the water only mode
rately warm, especially when the floor Is
of soft wood, because hot water sinks IN
so rapidly, and occupies so much more
time in drying, than cool water upon
wood. Drain the mop pretty we'll before
putting it upon the floor, thus Wettlng
the floor but little. The objects is to
wipe up the dust as thoroughly as posi-
bic, rinsing it off from the mop into the
water and changing tho water for cleaner
very often. If you put much water up
a very dusty floor, you have a big
troublesome mud-puddle to sop up or
rinse away. Experiment has convinced
me that q floor of pine or bass wood looks
best after cleaning, if a small amount OF
wafer has been put or each portion OF It.
Use as much water as you please on the
whole floor, the more the better, If you
wash and wipe only a small portion at a
time, and then throw out the dirty. water,
and begin the next division with clean
water. The sooner q soft wood hoor
dries, the better it looks. l have seen
women work very hard to scrub q pine or
bass wood floor white, and the result has
been quite disappointing. They would
put q great deal Of water upon the floor,
and then scrub with a broom hard and
long; after this would sweep all the dirty
water out, and rinse the floor with as
waters as they could afford. When
at last the well-soaked floor was dry, it
was undoubtedly clean, but it looked
dark and somewhat weather-beaten, in
consequence of remaining wet so long.
1t is a question of health with me, in
winter, to have a floor dry as soon as
possible. A little lye in the water has an
excellent effect upon floors. 1t may be
poured directly upon decided greasy
spots, but the whole floor is whitencd
with very little hard rubbing, if a small
amount Of I've is mixed with tho water.
Too much makes the boards yellow.
How much should be used depends upon
it's strength.

We have an old cow who presents some

word that she ought to be kept at home

WITH the removal OF the troops from
the State-house in Columbia, the new
Southern policy will be put on proba-
tion. The people OF South Carolina
have it in their power 10 make it sue
cess and restore 10 themselves and
guarantee to all the Southern States
that local self-government which is so
desirable and about which 80 much has
been said and written, or they can make
it a complete failure. The President
has, for the sake OF the people of South
Carolina and for what he believes to be
an honest construction of the Constitu-
tion and the laws made in pursuance
thereof, determined upon course that,
to say the least, is strongly questioned
by his party in the North. Governor
Hampton doubtless means TO do all
in his power to show that the course
OF the President is wise one. but
whether or not he will be able TO control
all the contending elements remains to
be seen. 1t will be for the conservative
and sensible people TO support him in
his undertaking. The unscrupulous
partisans on both sides are practically
against him. Ultra Democrats will not
be anxious to make success OF any.

THE Eastern question remains as far
from being settled as at any previous
lime since the quarrel began. The pro-
tocol satisfies no interest, aud settles
nothing. 1t is merely question OF
whether or not Russia concludes that
going to war can be made to pay. In the
meantime preparations for hostilities go
on in all directions, and should war
commence at any time, it will find none
of the Great Powers unprepared. The
Porte has prepared reply TO the proto-
col in which it is insisted that Turkey
accepts nothing that will not accord
with her dignity as a Great Power.
Whatever else the statesmen OF Europe
have learned from recent negotiations,
they are doubtless convinced that Tur-
key had, at the commencement of the
quarrel, clearer appreciation of her
power than any Of those that were oppo.
sing her.
