THE Scientific News, of New York, in
very valuable article as to the use and value
of deodorizers and dlsenfectants, remarks
that "the article commonly used to disin-
feet foul places is chloride of lime, but in
reality it is not of much value. 1t may and
generally does remove bad smells, but the
cause still remains, as the chloride simply
destroys the gaseous emanations The much
advertised disenfectants are usually catch
penny nostrums, and unworthy of notice.
One of the very best known disinfectants is
old fashioned 'copperas,' or sulphate OF
iron, which can be had very cheap. bar
rel of copperas would weigh probably 300
pounds, and can be purchased at wholesale
price for cent and half per pound. And
every family ought especially, in warm
weather, to have supply of it on hand.
a couple of handtuls of copperas thrown
into a bucket of water will soon dissolve,
and it can then be used freely, and is a val
liable disenfectant The best plan is to fill
"a half barrel or keg with water and suspend
within it a moderate sized basket full of
'copperas. In this way it dIssolves more
rapidly than when thrown to the bottom OF
the wooden vessel, and thus a supply is
always at hand ready for USE"

The steady and prudent progress made by
the state house commissioners in carrying
out the will of the people ought TO be a.
source of universal graduation and ap-
prevail As general thing the voice of OPP
position and croaking has been hushed.
Unmoved by fault finding, unawed by sus-
picion, oblivious of inuendoes, all having
for their purpose delay and endorsements,
the commissioners have obeyei the law in
letter and spirit, and the preliminary work
from excavation to opening the bids argues
we'll for the completion of the enterprise in
a manner that Will receive the approval of
fair men of all parties. Time and again the
assertion has been made that the
state house. instead of coming within
the limit, s., 900 900, would cost twice that
amount, aud some have not hesitated to
place the amount still higher. All this is
now set at rest by the bids that have been
opened and published-declarative OF the
ability of the commissioners, in due time, to
turn over to the people a state house at a
cost not exceeding 81, 100000. The situation
of the state house affairs is now sofavorsble
for the successful progress of the work that
all parties can well afford to contribute cheer
ing words, which the commissioners are
richly entitled to by their fidelity to the in
terests OF the people and the satisfactory ex-
hibits already made.

VENEZUELA ORTIZ.

Gene raj Lew Wallace has informed the
public that he will not attack the Nenezue-
Ian record of Godlove S. 0rth until his com.
plicity with the Venezuelan swindle is
satisfactorily established. There is no
special necessity for the display of mastery
inactivity on the part of General Wallace.
The Venezuelan claim scoundrelism need
not be hunted for with lighted candle.
The sun at mid day is not more conspicu-
Gus, and a dead dog in an alley, directly
under General Wallace's nose, could not be
pointed out more readily by the general or
found more certainly by the scavenger. The
New York World, referring to the scandal
with which Orth's name Is connected, re-
marks that "the claims of certain Ameri-
cans against Venezuela for damage to pro-
'perty during revolutions were referred 70
Joint tribunal A ring of Americans was
formed which trcked the Russian minister,
who thought he was naming
reputable citizen of Venezuela, into sp-
pointing a boy of nineteen as umpirei
bought up the Venezuelan empire; gave
one OF its members a monopoly of the work
'of counsel and allowed no claims but such
as he advocated in consideration Of receiv-
ing 40, 80 or go per cent. of their amount
Naturally the claimants had to increase
their bills. One claim went up from 50, 416
ito $3.50, 791. OF; the claimant was awarded
S14S, 600, and the ring received about 100000
as its share. Against this abominable fraud
the Venezuelan government protested, but
Mr.. Grant was prepared to go to war rather
than to reopen the award, and Mr.. Orth,
then at the head of the committee on for
'eign affairs, introduced and had passed
| Joint resolution declaring the award valid
and to be sustained. Mr.. Orth, as was sub
'sequently discovered, had been the claim
ants attorney, and took as his pay some Of
the certificates, the validity of which his
Joint resolution sought to confirm"
1t is not surprising that Mr.. 0rth had to
get down from the head of the radical state
ticket in 1876. The RAIDS did not want can
didate with such a huge carbuncle on his
nose. 1t may have looked very pretty in
Austria, as distance does sometimes lend en-
chantment to the view, but when the pos
SCISSOR of the ornament reached Indiana the
thing assumed such huge and hideous pro-
portions that the radical central committee
could not endure the sight, even through
smoked glass, and Mr.. Orth was compelled
to take a back seat. 1t is not surprising that
General Wallace and other distinguished
radicals can not discover the beauty of the
Venezuelan claim business, and are disposed
to act as becomes prudent politicians, and
oppose Mr.. 0rth's election. During Grants
administration there were thousands of
transactions that have received the stamp of
premeditated rascality, among which the
Venezuelan claims outrage, with which
Orth's name is Intimately associated, is well
up toward head. The radical party ought
certainly to be able to procure better timber
than Orth out of which to manufacture
candidate. His success would be stigma
upon the state-his defeat creditabie to So
ciety at large.

10000 to equal it. More than 100000 is
annually spent for mechanical labor and
paper in issuing these papers, and the
amount would be doubled were the salaries
of the writer's and the cost of the telegraphic
VS. included. The profit in publishing
German newspaper is made entirely of of
the advertisements, the annual subscriptions
barely covering the cost of the paper alone.
There daily and weekly journals are multi
plying 30 rapidly that there seems little time
or need for the heavier literature, but German
authors are prolific, and offer to their readers
a new and varied mental diet to choose from.
In the Leipsic catalogue the total number of
printed works is put down at 2, 400, 900, and
it is estimated that out of the 40. 000, 600 in
habitants at least ,000, 900 are regular buyers.
The great majority patronize the Libraries or
buy at second hand and reduced price the
works they could not afford If new. Educa-
ton is receiving much attention among the
Germans, and many carefully written works
are the productions of German authors, last
year 500 being classified as belonging to the
department OF educational matters" Nat
ural science, statistics and political legisla-
ton, medicine, history, modern languages
and military science are but few of the
leading themes which have been used by the
writers of 1877. But among the most widely
distributed pamphlets are the almanacs, of
which 100000 are annually spread broad
cast, eventually to find their way back to the
naner mills

THE Journal may as well understand first
as last that there is no quarrel between hard
money and soft money democrats, and there
is not going to be any. There is FAR less di-
vision in the democratic party in this state
on the financial questions than there Is in
the republican party. There never was a
time when greater unity or better feeling
prevailed among democrats of every shade
of opinion than in the present contest NO
one is going TO be crowded out OF the ranks,
or off the platform. Neither will there be

THE Princess Louise is the strongest
minded and the most capable of Queen Vic
toria's daughters. She resembles her mother
in person and mind, and will undoubtedly
be popular with the Canadians. Lord Lorne
is thirty-three, "a msn of some capacity"
according to an English paper, and is affable
and pleasant in bis bearing. A semi royal
character will attach to his court, and this
will Hatter bis subjects, and make them the
