servant who holds his bit with imperial disdain,

Newspapers at the White House.

The Boston Herald's Washington
correspondent says: The white house
is literally supplied with newspapers,
only few of which are kept on file.
Grant used to have one of his secretaries
cut out the leading editorials on political
topics in the New York daily papers, and
occasionally from papers published in
other cities, which cuttings were handed
to him in bunch for his personal per-
usal late in the afternoon or in the even
ing. Mr.. Hayes does not follow this
system; or, rather, he has materially
modified it. 1t is the duty of one Of
the clerks at the white house to take
charge of all the newspapers received
Enough of them to fill bushel-besket is
received every day. Many of them are
unimportant. The newspaper clerk
cuts from most of the influential papers
such editorial and other matter as he
thinks Of interest to the President,
which lie afterwards pastes in scrap
books, of which series is kept. The
President, from time to time, runs over
these scrap books and sees what the
newspapers of the country are saying
about him and his administration. Mrs.
Hayes takes number of religious
weeklies, mostly of the Methodist de-
nomination, and these, with an illus,
trated paper, and copies of daily papers,
containing matters of special interest to
the family of the white house are usually
to be found scattered over the library
tables,

COCOA SHELLS.
Put two tablespoonfuls of cocoa shells
into little cold water; add to them a
pint of boiling water and boil for an
hour; strain, and add pint of rich

Cough SYRUP.
Put five cents worth of pine pitch
into q pint of water. Let it simmer
until the water is well impregnated with
the flavor. Dip out the gum which re-

syrup. Strain this and bottle. Dose, a
teaspoonful four or five times day

"a word fifty spoken is like apples Of gold in
pictures of silver" When the body becomes
diseased, the mind is thereby necessarily in
fuenced National wars, State dssensions,
neiehborhood broils, and family differences,
are more frequently than otherwise the result
of diseased and disordered constitutions. When
the body is suffering, the mind, acting in
sympathy, will become irritated and perplexed.
When the physical system is in health, the
mind perceives things in their true light, and
the disposition assumes very different phase.
Nothing more directly tends to destroy the
happy, cheerful disposition of a woman, and
render her peevish nervous and fretful, than
a constant endurance of uterine disorders
The diseases peculiar to woman take away the
elasticity and buoyancy OF health and reduce
her body and mind to mere wreck. DR..
Pierces Favorite Prescription is real peace
maker in family. No woman suffering from
uterine disorders can afford to be without this
remedy. The Favorite Prescription saves I'M

wards off suicides, brings back buoysnt joyous
feelings, restores the woman to health, and
her family to happiness. 1t is sold by all

to them. Then they appealed to
the Supreme Court April "a, 1876,
which also decided against the

appointed TO take charge of the

ExhibitOrA e. Arrange for space.
New York World.l
American inventors and pro.
ducers intending to exhibit wares
or products at the Paris exposition
of next year have now an oppor-
tunity Of formally applying for
space to the commissioner general,
Richard G. Mccormick, who has
opened an office at the postoffice
building, room "a, second floor.
At this place all the business con-
nected with the proper representa-
tion Of American exhibits at Paris,
from the 1st of May to the 31st Of
October next, will be transacted.
The space allotted to America in
the main building of the exposition
adjoins that given to Russia, and
measures 400 by 100 feet. OF this
three parts will be given to indus
tries, one part to machinery and
one to food products. Already over
400 applications for space are filed,
the American Union of Paris ex.
hibitors having turned over all their
business to the office of General
Mccormick. On Friday next Che
printed forms for the use of appli-
cants will be ready, and then the
claims and wishes Of exhibitors will
be considered as received. The
majority Of peculiarly American
institutions will be duly set forth
by private enterprise, but there are
specialties which General McOor-
mick thinks he will be forced to
use some persuasion to get. He
wishes to have an American postal
car put upon the track at the expo
sition ground, but as yet cannot
find any company or individual
whose interest would prompt its
transportation. General McOor-
mick will keep his Office here open
up to the middle of March, when
the last of the exhibits will be sent
off and the commissioners them
selves leave for the French capital.
