WASHING CLOTHES.

Ii there is any plan by which wash
day can be robbed of it's disagreeable
belongings, it will be welcome, we are
sure. And correspondent of the
Portland Transcript gives the follow
ing method:
For family of six, cut into thin
shavings one and one-half pounds of
good bar soap, and dissolve it in pail
of boiling water. Rather more than
half fill two tubs with aodrm water,
and add pail of hot suds-half each.
Put the clothes III for a tWenty-four
hours soak-those most soiled in one
tub by themselves. The following
morning nothing will be necessary but
to put them thr ough the wringer,
through two waters, the blueing in the
last. A neat housekeeper will OBJ
serve if any specially soiled spots
wristbands, cuffs, and the like-need a
little chatting with the fingers before
going through the wringer.
! Clothing washed in this way will
| come out to the satisfaction of the
most fastidiOus, and all the time usu-
ally spent in scrubbing and boiling
and filling the house with steam,
saved, besides-a prime consideration
articles will wear more than twice
as long, as it is evident that five min
utes' scrubblng will wrench out the
garments vastly more than ordinary
wear. Flannels may be cleaned in the
same manner-white fiannels turning
white and soft-except that it is be-
lieved that the suds and the rinse wa
ter had better be cold for fannels,
whatever the process of washing, to
prevent shrinking A little gentle
pulling, both ways, when first hung on
the line, will prevent fannels shrinking
An acquaintance of ours, very par
ticular housekeeper, has done her own
family washing in this manner for a
year past without either boiling, OF
scrubbing or fretting! and she declares
that washing has lost it's old time ter
rors, with it's
'Scrub scrub, scold, scold, scrub scrub away
A dell a bit of comfort is there ON q washing
day"
And her husband says that instead
of a "picked up dinner" she gets the
best dinner of the week on Monday. 1t
is fair to state that he turns the
.wringer.

Government is now conducted, and be
hidden come up higher
The Wisconsin delegation have wise
ly selected Gov. Pound to represent
their State upon the Republican Con-
gressional Committee.
On Monday last there were over
1900 bills introduced in the House of
Representatives. Judge Humphrey
introduced four bills for granting pen
sions to his constituents. Mr.. Cas-
well introduced five bills for the ben
efit OF his constituents. Mr.. Bragg in
troducod six bill and a joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the Con-
stitution, prohibiting the payment Of
claims for property taken, used, iniur-
ed, or destroyed in the late war of the
rebellion, thereby showing his opposi-
ton to the claims of loyal men the
same as to disloyal persons. Mr.. Dues
ter introduced two bills. Mr.. Will
liams introduced four bills, one of
which was for the relief of members
Of the Menominee Indians Gov,
Pound introduced seven bills. Bill
No. 1922, To authorize the State of
Wisconsin to select indemnity lands
for sixteen sections and swamp and
overfloWed lands included within In
dian reservations; Bill No. 1923, TIC
extend the operations of the Light
House Board over the Saint Croix
River and Lake in the States of Mime
sofa and Wisconsin and the Chippewa
River in the State of Wisconsin. Three
bills for the relief Of the Winnebago
Chippewa and Menomonee Indians
and two bills relating to pensions.
/ Judge Humphrey made another
strong and able speech last evening
against the proposed repeal of election
laws in an appropriation bill, which as
its name indicates should be simple tC
furnish, or appropriate the means te
carry on the Departments manned IL
the blu. AS the speech has not APP
peared in the Record I am unable tc
give extracts. Judge Humphrey is a
close and attentive watcher of the in.
terests of his constituents and they
can not do better than to continue his
services in Congress many years.
The many friends of Mrs. Judge
Humphrey, of Wisconsin, in this city
regret that she feels compelled to re.
turn home before the close of the ses.
sion. She leaves this evening, most
of all will she be missed by the DOOR
who will greatly miss her warm SYM
pathy and free contributions in the
hour Of need *s#*

William M. Lowe, Representative
from Alabama, has been trying to pro-
woke Senator John A. Logan, of Hi
.nois, into accepting challenge to
fight duel. Or, perhaps, itmay be, as
has been said by some Washington
correspondent, that Logan was Meth
odist and would not fight a duel, so
Lowe felt himself safe in choosing Pei
ham to act as his friend and in send
ing his comm unications virtually
amounting to challenge through him.
Logan is entitled to much credit for
refusing to receive loves communi-
cations or take any notice of him. A
brief statement of the affair is printed
in the inside of this paper.

HARPEs's Weekly thinks the Presidential
campaign will be fought on sectional issues
and that the Republicans will win. We can
not see how sectional strife can enter very
largely into the contest, for the only measure
demanded by the Democrats for the South
the repeal of the jurors test oath-was &C
complished with very little opposition. TIE
question most likely to come to the front is
that of the purity of elsctions-whether or
not federal troops and federal supervisors
and marshals shall assume control of cleo
lions that properly belong to the local
authorities of the States. In this question
the North is far more deeply interested than
the South, for there are hardly half dozen
cities in the South which can be afflicted by
these officials, while the North is full of
them.

A WASHINGTON dispatch states that Gen.
Green B. Raum, commissioner Of internal
revenue, in view OF the fact that there are
no appropriations for deputy marshals, pro-
poses to organize q force of deputy col
lectors out Of the general fund for the col
lection Of revenue and to use these deputy
collectors as posse to prevent illicit distil-
lation. We would like to inquire by what
authority Of law Gen. Raum proposes to in
vest his subordinates with powers not con-
templated by the act creating them9 Does
he suppose their acts would be of any legal
effect whatever The distillers, or anybody
else whom they might seek to arrest would
be perfectly justifiable in setting them at de-
fance. Raum's programme is not only il
legal but nonsensical.
