Democratic Reform.

The case of the Doorkeeper OF the
House of Representatives. is ii good exem-
plfcalion of democratic reform. The
first incumbent of that Office alter the
democrats obtained majority of the
House used his position in most sean
dalous manner. making it "a den OF thieves
and other disreputable characters. Alter
the discovery and publication in the news
papers of his shameful letter in which he
boosted to his friend that he was IA big
ger man than old Grant," at Washington,
public opinion compelled the democrats
to remove him from office.
His successor is Col. Polk, whom recent
revelations show to be as corrupt AS his
predecessor and the worst of it is thai
the demands of democratic Congressmen
for places and patronage for democratic
friends, which he could not supply, have
been largely the means OF leading MIN
into the corrupt and dishonest ways which
he has pursued. Some of those whom he
disappointed divulged the iniquity of his
transactions In order to get even" with
him, and investigation will reveal more Of
the same sort.
The professions of democratic reform
ers sound well, but their acts give the
lie TO their professions.

piece was found covered with ants. A cup
OF turpentine-oil being provided, each piece

and in the evening was again found covered
with ants. The same process was gone
through the following two days-morning,
noon, and night. The third day the NUMBER
of ants had greatly diminished, and on the
fourth there were none. He at first sup

Dressing In Saratoga.

.iEli Perkins, in his peculiar way, says:
There is less dressing in Saratoga every
year. Now and then "swell" girl gets
in from Buffalo or Chicago with nineteen
trunks, and "stuns'' US with two new
toilets a day for ten consecutive days. But
the genteel New York girl dresses very
little. She comes to see the panorama
rather than to be seen. She hides away with
her beaux in corners, under dainty para
sol, or forms a clique, where they sit and
abuse the Joneses, whose father, like their
father, once kept green grocery. see
several young ladies who always look sweet
in muslin. They came here with six white
muslin dresses and twenty-four yards Of
ribbon.
"Howsdo you wear the ribbon ~ asked
one of them. .g,,
"Well, we. buy six yards of wide blue
ribbon. This we make into bows, sashes,
etc. When we wear blue, it is blue through
out-blue on the hat. blue sash, blue bows,
blue stockings, etc."
g And the other ribbon?"
s.Why, we also buy six yards OF cardinal,
six Yards OF pearl, and six yards of straw
color. So, you see, with six muslin dresses
and three white chip hats we can come out
in new suit every day, and IL we have
colored parnsols to match, why the taste is
perfect, md twenty-four dollars worth OF
ribbon does the business"
have watched this young lady every
day, and really she is one Of the sweetest
and most charming dressed young ladies'
here. No soiled silks for her. No shiny
satins or hot gros-grains! She can take the
beaux away from the young lady dressed In
soiled gros-grains every time. The fact is,
men fall In love with women on account OF
their neathess. No gentleman eyer loved
soiled woman. So, young ladies, wash your
greasy hair I'LL it looks as LIGHT and heecy
as God made 1t, throw away the rouge and
powder, let the skin have the shine and
glow OF health, throw away your old soiled
muslins, and then the beaux will swarm
around you.
