The new device attempted by the city
of Memphis to get rid of her debt is des-
tined to prove a magnificent failure, as
tho creditors have gone into the United
States Courts and secured the appoint.
ment of q receiver. In announcing his
decision upon the application, Judge
Baxter said:
The State of IT. 1nesseo created muni-
cipnl corporation, and that corporation
created debts and acquired assets. The
Legislature abolished this corporation and
appropriated TO the State the assets OF
the corporation. This court is bound to
administer the law, and the act Of the
legislature in the premises is violation
the United States. The act is invalid,
of the constitution Of tho State and of
and the court so declares it. It is an net
impairing the obligation of contracts.
This court has right To take possession
of the assets of the corporation and turn
them over to the receiver. The German
national bank ard the city treasurer will
have time to file their answer. Tho
funds will not be distributed before such
answers are made. So far as this court
has any power it will protect any citizen
against the State court in demanding
double payment. Should this court go
wrong, the Supreme court of tho United
States. in which he hoped al people had
confidence, would correct the error

The Union Times has this plain tall

The Union Times has this plain talk
for the ~ay in which some editors seek
to turn an argument which hurts them,
but which they cannot answer:
The custom Of Editors calling each
other liars is becoming moro common
than politeness or decency will tolerate.
True gentlemen never do it, and when
we find q man-whethcr Editor or not
ever ready to apply the world lie or liar
to an adversary, nine cases out Of ten he
proves TO be bully or one ignornant OF
the common courtesies Of lifo. In itself
1t sounds low when uttered and reads
vulgar in print.
No truer evidence Of low bred fellow
could be shown than tho glib use of the
words "you lle," "liar," &C., and we ind
editors ever ready to encourage their use
by applying it to contemporary Who may
dare 70 differ with them.

The Netrs and Courier replies to our

makes no new point in the controversy.
Its attempt to class ua as one of those,

keeping, however, strictly within the
rules of law, which ia all the respect that

tribunal, There is no necessity for any
serious discussion upon this branch of
the question until there is some tangible
proposition to set tho Court at defiance,
ard when that occasion arises, If it ever
does, tfie INTE1LIaEscER will not be
backward to take its position. There is,
however, remarkable change in the
tone of the Nesps and Conricr's language
towards those who differ from it in this
last article, which is worthy OF commen-
dalton. Had our contemporary observed

The result OF the Potter investigation
Of the Presidential election has been far
from satisfactory TO tho Republicans, for
while it has shown that certain Demo
c'ats were willing to pay tic Returning
Boards OF Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina, in order to secure fair count,
it has also shown that the leaders Of the
party, from Mr. Tildcn down, spurncd
the effort and refused to peimit it to be
contaminated, while on tho other hand
the Republicans in tome Of these States
have been shown TO have purchased the
Returning Boards almost beyond rca-
sonable doubt. The evidence has been
accumulated from many sources, and
seems to all impartial observers to be
clinchcd by the fact that the President
who secured tho Office through the frauds
perpctratcd has rewarded the partici-
pants in those frauds b., giving them
lucrative appointments. 1t is evidently
case of division of plunder, and the
American people will in all probability
insist upon purifying the government, by
driving the participants in this great
crime, together with those who have sup
ported them, from public life.

The President has very properly ve-
toed the anti Chinese bill, and his action
thereon has called forth the most intense
feeling in California. A few days ago
Mr.. Hayes was burnt i'll cfligy, and the
most indignant speeches were made to
the infuriated mob which toro down sew
eral Chinese settlements. 1t is claimed
in political circles that this action of the
President will lose tho State of Cali
fornin, with perhaps Oregon and Nevada,
to the Republicans. California is to-day
n disafectcd State, and had the South
not settled the secession issne, it is prob
able that California would break of
from the Union on this question.

There was every indication that Con.

Therc was every indication that Con-
gress would fail to pass the appropriation
bills, in consequence Of the disagreement
between the House and the Senate upon
the proposition to repeal the test oath for
jurors and to repeal the law authorizing
the appoictment OF United States super
visors Of elections. The result of this
failure will necessitato an extra session
OF Congress, which will probably be
called at an carly day. Extra sessions,
as general thing, are not desirable, lat
if they are necessary to obliterate two
such offensive statutes from our books as
the ones referred to, tho country ,yil be
glad to secure the riddance, even 1t such
an expense. We are gratiied to see that
the Democratic party has life enough in
it to give fight TO tho Republicans, and
if our Representatives and Senator'S in
Congress will only pursue offensive party
tactics instead Of the defensive, we think
the results will be much better in the
next canvass. The rascalities of the Re-
publican party in legislation ought to be
repealed, and the country will respect
the party which has the manhood to do
it, despite the howl which the Republi-
cars will raise over it.

There is one thing to be said in favor of the strawberry shortcake; the berry department of the cake is never half so thin as the jokes that are made about it.
 When young Napoleon gets through with the Zulus, he might come to this country and fight the summer flies. The work isn't half so dangerous, and it's twice as exciting.

Washing the Face.

There are several wrong ways of wash
 ing the face, and but one right one.
 Towel, flannel, sponge are all out of place where the face is concerned. The
 hands only should be used. Doctor
 Wilson's directions are: " Fill your basin about two-thirds full with fresh water;
 dip your face in the water and then your hands. Soap the hands well and pass the soaped hands with gentle friction over the whole face. Having performed this part of the operation thoroughly. dip the face in the. water the second time, and rinse it. completely; you may add very much to the luz ury of the lat ter part of the operation by having a second basin ready with fresh water to perform 8 final rinse But the care of the complexion requires that not only the face, but the whole body, should be daily subjected to the bath. The sponge baths are. perhaps, the best, and the temperature of the water must bereg,l- lated by the sensations of the bather. and by the season of the year. No one can deny the charm of clear, soft color in the cheeks and lips, and it must be an in- corrigible complexion, indeed, that will not yield to the measures that have kecommendefl.

Alleged New Preserving Agent.

In the course of series of experi- ments made by MT. H. Jannarch for de- vising method of separating the crys- tallizable sugar from the molasses, a double salt of borate of potassium and sodium was accidentally formed, which exerted an antiseptic influence on the sugar. Further experiment showed this salt to be q most powerful antiseptic agent. It is now being made in larger quantities by dissolving in watar equal quantities of chloride of potassium, nitrate of sodium and boric acid, and evaporating to dryness after Altering. The salt obtained is, of course, not a pure borate. but mixture of potassio-nitric borate, potassium nitrate and sodium chloride. Its action is very prompt and continues undiminished for a very long time. It has no injurious effect either as regards taste or smell or healthiness of the substances impregnated with it. It is easily soluble in water and quite deli quescent, so that it has to be kept in closely stoppefed bottles. It is at pres ent sold for twenty-five cents pound. H In Germany it has been extensively used already by butchers, sausage makers, tanners, etc., but its most i'm portant use is at present ill the manufac- ture of butter and cheese from sweet milk. When butter is made from sweet milk in the ordinary manner, the milk must be kept very cold when the "pre- serving salt" as it is called in Germany, is used, the milk may be kept at an or dinary temperature without souring; the remaining sweet milk may be worked up into superior quality of cheese Il fifteen grains of the salt are added for each quart of milk. the latter will keep sweet for at least week.
 Fresh meat, game, etc., may be pre- pared by dipping it into . solution oi one pound of the salt in six pints oi water. When the meat is intended to be kept for very long period, the meat is rubbed in we'll with the powdered salt in the proportion of one and one-hal drachms to each two pounds of meat. In twenty-four hours the impregnation is completed, and the neat only needs to be dried. A piece of meat prepared in this manner in January, 1877, was in perfectly good condition in January, 1879. For picking. the meat is pre- pared in the same manner and then placed between layers of a mixture ol two pounds of common salt, one-hali pound of preserving salt, and one-quarter pound of sugar. In this way the largest hams can be salted in four days. Fol preserving skins, from one-half to two pounds aroused, according to size. Egg are placed for fifteen minutes into so. lution ofone ounce of saltsin quart o water For fish, Holsters, oysters, frnii and vegetables, the preparation has also been used with the best success.

Chinese Fans.

Almost every large city in China, and certainly every important division of the empire, has its own characteristic fan; or else there is something peculiar in the make, color, or ornamentation of the common folding fan as seen in that particular district, by which it may be distinguished from its ubiquitous con gener. For the folding fan, as the Chi hese call it, is the fan pa~crcellence i; and all that ingenuity of design has hitherto accomplished llas not succeeded in dis placing this convenient form from the l affections of the people at large. The large palm leaf, with its strongly bound edges and natural handle, large quanti- ties of which are exported annually from Canton md elsewhere, may possibly be the cheapest and most breeze-com- polling of all kinds, but it is not very portable, and can not readily be slowed away about the person, or stored so as to last into second summer. The fold ing fan, on the other hand, occupies but little space; and when not in use may be stuck in the high boot of the full dressed Chinese gentleman, or at the back of the neck in the loose collarless jacket which, with the addition of curt cdtecon, constitutes the entire toilette of Chinese coolie. Besides, the folding fan opens into tolerably smooth surface, fairly we'll adapted for the painters art; and even the dirtiest specimen of Chinese vagabondage loves to rest his eye upon some gayly painted flower or a spray or two ofthe much prized bamboo. Conse- quently the folding fan obtains all over the eighteen provinces ofChina Proper, and beyond, far away across the Great Wall, over the steppes of Mongolia and the mountains of Thibet. Of the more elaborate kinds, produced at Canton for export to Europe, with their exquisitely carved or perforated ivory handles, etc, it will suffice to say that such are quite unknown even in the highest and wealth. jest circles of Chinese society, the folding fan being rarely the vehicle of extrava- antexpenditure in this respect It may be made, indeed, either of paper or ofsilk; for handle, ivory or sandalwood may be used; but even then the general get-up is as rule plain, while for the common folding fan of the empire, bamboo is the material most extensively employed, be- ing at once the cheapest and most dura- ble of all woods. Pendants of amber, jade, ivory, carnelian, and other sub- stances are also affected by the more re fined, and a fan case beautifully embroid- cred in some quaint pattern. accom- panied, perhaps, by some appropriate classical allusion, is a very ordinary birthday present from sister to her brother, or from wife to her husband. The number of" bones" or ribs to fold ing fan is matter which is by no means left to chance. Sixteen, including the two outer pieces, may be quoted as the standard but fans made in certain local ities have more, as many as thirty-two, and sometimes even thirty-six, The req son why the number sixteen is preferred is that such fan opens into convenient number of spaces to receive the poetical inscription which custom has almost, but not altogether, tied down to a given number of lines-Hd5.per's Btzar.

of company, it looked almost deserted in l its wintry garden.
 An exceedingly lovely woman. though evidently in frail and failing health, opened the door for him, saying, in an inquiring voice: You want the sisnor, sarPn
 No, want to see Mrs. Downes; she is here, believer"
 .Ah, yes; she is here. If you will please to go up one stair. am so weak and tired always"
 She pointed to the stairs, and George l went thoughtfully up them. Half way there was little landing and a door, and here he heard strange musical voice, and then his wife's merry laugh to its observation. It nettled George: he knocked sharply, and before an answer | could be given opened the door and went into the room.
 "Oh, George, how provoking. What made you come, dear?"
 His wife was sitting in all her bridal finery on little elevated platform, and Signor Sarti was putting the last touches to very lovely portrait of her. "l meant it for your Christmas gift, George, and you have peeped beforehand. Is not that too bado"
 "Indeed it is, Emma" But Emma was almost satisfied with his peeping, so proudly and lovingly did he take her home.
 s'How did you find me out, George?''
 sOh, you are easy to find out, Emma. Of course I knew if you went out in a carriage, that you got the carriage at Morrers. But how do you come to know this Frenchman?" .a
 ''You think all foreigners are French men, George. He is an Italian, and so is his beautiful wife. He came from London to paint my lord bishop and the cathedral, and the signora was so much better here that he resolved to spend the winter in Yorkshire, and try and make enough to take her home to Italy in the spring. My lord asked me to have my picture done, and papa paid for it in order to surprise you. l think, George dear, you had better not let papa know you have spoiled his surprise"
 George felt more and more sorry and humiliated as he looked in the pretty, frank face, and thought how cheerfully, after all, she had taken the forestallment of her Christmas secret.
 II will do as you say, Emma. Has the signor plenty of work?" .a
 "He is painting many of the principal ladies in the city. The bishop thinks very highly of him. Indeed, I have seen his lordship there at nearly all my visits.
 George let the subject drop now as quickly as possible to Emma; but he talked q good deal about it-and in no very good temper-to his godfather. For once Mark had no excuse for his suspicious. He was quite awed by the fact that he had dared to think wrong of interviews which the bishop had ar ranged and honored with his presence.
 He had lost faith in his own penetra- tion regarding the sex, and George and Emma were quietly at some pains to con- vince him that good and true women are the rule, and not the exception.
 And though I cannot describe exactly how it came about, know that the next Christmas Mark was the gayest old bachelor in Ripon, and opened the festi- val ball at Georges house with Signor Sarti's handsome sister-the very same lady whom the bishop himself, very soon afterward, made Mrs. Mark Ripon.- Hoj.nei's WeeIJv
