The pantry shelves are getting grimy
or fingermarks around the door latches
and knobs are looking dark and un-
slightly. For lack of time they are
left day after day, for it is hard work
to scour all the time, and it wears off
the paint, too. Now suppose the wife
has her bottle of splits of ammonia to
use; she takes basin of water and a
clean cloth, just puts on a few drops of
the fluid, and wipes off all the dirt; it
is worth more than half days labor,
and does not hurt the paint, either.
She could put a few drops in her dish
water, and see how easily the dishes
could be cleaned; few drops on a
sponge would clean all the windows
in the sitting room, making them
shine like crystal, 1t would take the
stains off the teaspoons, and a tea
spoonful in the mop-pail would do
more in washing up the kitchen floor
than ten pounds of elbow grease APP
piled to the mop-handle. A housewife
has just as much right to make her
work easy and expeditions as her hus-
band has. If she does not do it the
fault is her own in q great measure.

Wedding cards neatly executed at

1t is pretty clear that if the South
is to be kept at its present point of sol
idity, the tissue ballot must come into
general use at elections hereafter. The
negroes of South Carolina show that
the red-shirt business has ceased to
carry the requisite amount of terror
with it to keep thefit frbm the polls
This is likely to happen in other
Southern States, and when it does the
only way to keep up the work of "re-
demptiOn will be to stuff the ballot
boxes. If the negro can't be scared
away he must be counted out.-Ne,U

provides for the issue of three pei

facilitate the financial operations OF
the government, and relieve the people
who accumulate small savings from
losses through savings bands. There
is no certainty, however, that it will
pass.

He ahd his pal, Tom Hughes, had
| dug passage from their cell by the
old route up intD the garret. Here
| they had tied their bedclothes together
| by which to let themselves down from
the garrett window to the ground,
distance of about forty feet. Lynch
was the first one to make the trial. He
let himself down carefully, hand over
hand, until he had got about eight feet,
when the rope parted and he fell to the
ground, thirty feet below. He struck
on his feet, and for minute did not
know he was hurt He got up and
! put on his coat and boots, which he
had previously thrown down, when all
at once he fell to the ground, helpless
and howling with pain, and only too
glad to be taken inside again. The
shock seemed to have driven him, as
one might say. all in heap, and it is
d wonder it did not splinter every bone
in his body. He suffered intensely all
day yesterday. Large swellings puffed
out on his ankles and the lower part of
his spine, and he complained of much
pain inwardly. He is heavy man,
weighing about two hundred, and one
can imagine the momentum he must
have attained before he struck the
ground. His companion, Hughes, was
left in the garret, and though 10th to
come down finally obeyed the sum-
mons Of the deputy and made his APP
pearance. Both were hard looking
customers, their faces, hair and clothes
begrimmed with dirt and covered with
| plaster.
AS we said before, they dug through
into the garret by the old route-by
digging through the chimney-which
has proven by experience to be the
easiest and quickest way out of the
Jail, provided one has no key to the
front door. We suppose it would be
in order for us to remark in this con-
nection upon the duties of the powers
that be rs gathered from this occur
renee. 1t can hardly be said that the
sheriff is to be blamed, for he cannot
be expected to keep guard in every
cell to keep the prisoners from digging
their way into the garret-which it
seems can be done easily in six hours.
We will leave the public to draw its
own conclusions as to whether any one
else is to blame, and do its own growl-
ing. 1t is one consolation that Lynch g
bad luck will rather discourage other
pining Jail birds from going out by
way of the garret window, unless some
one provides them with a strong rope
or unless the sheriff supplies better
quality of quilts.
