VARIOUS methods for rendering fabri,

VARIOUS methods for rendering fabrics
incombustible or at least less infammable
than they naturally are, have from time to
time been resorted to, the substances not
ably employed for this purpose being
borax, alum, soluble glass, phosphate of
ammonia, &c. For wool and common
stuffs any one of these salts will prove eff
cient; but fine and light tissues, which are
really the most liable to catch fire, cannot
be treated in the same way. Borax renders
fine textile fabrics stiff it causes dust, and
will swell out under the smoothing iron; SO
does alum, besides weakening the tibres of
the stuff, and making it tear easily Solu-
BILE glass both stitfens and weakens the ma
terial, depriving it alike of elasticity and
tenacity. Phosphate of ammonia alone has
none of these inconvenience It may be
mixed with a certain amount of sal am
moniac, and then introduced into the starch
prepared for stiffening the linen, or it may
be dissolved in twenty parts of water, in
weight, to one of phosphate, and the
stufs stepped in the solution, then allowed
dry.

tify-even in this imperfect manner-my respect
for the memory of valued friend, the grandeur
of whose character commanded the admiration
of every Southern heart. Happily blending the
qualities Of a hero with the graces of Chris

conception of all that constitutes truly good

WE are about to realize the truth
of the old adage that it is long
lane which has no turning. All
over the United States the signs of
approaching prosperity may be
discerned; and, in many of the in
dustrial centers, there has never
been such activity as now. New
York. the center OF the commercial
exchanges OF the United States, was
the first place to witness the reviv-
al. During the past six months
real estate on Manhattan Island
has enhanced from twenty five to
fifty per cent. in value. The first
rlpples of the advancing wave of
good times has already crossed the
Slerras. The silver lining to the
cloud is apparent everywhere and
in no section will the recovery be
more rapid than in Southern Cali
fornia. The circumstances which
have made landed property drug
in many places are giving way to
other conditions that will put it at
decided premium. California,
with her pockets full of the ducats
realized from her superb wheat
crop, will turn a smiling face to the
thousands who will throng here
from every quarter of the United
States.

The recent order from Postmas'
ter-General Key, which prescribes
that, unless O letter directed to New
York City shall also have upon it
the suff1x IN. Y.,n it shall be sent
to the Dead Letter Office, is one of
those mischievous exercises Of Il
"little brief authority" which lit
tie men so delight in. This regula-
ton will be productive of great de-
lay and Inconvenience until it is
rescinded, which it shortly will be,
as the public reprobation of the
edict is universal. This is the
greatest achievement of " erring
brothern Key since he entered
Hayes's cabinet. There may have
been many wickeder orders ema-
mating from a head of the Postof-
flee department but we doubt il
there has ever been as stupid reg
ulstion as Key has acquitted him
self of.

deliver ringing philippe against
the corrupiions OF Grantism was at
that time pretty sure of an cleo
ton. Had Mr.. Thurman stood
staunchly by his original position
he might have suffered defeat for
the moment, but his Presidential
prospects could never have been so
fatally obscured as they have been
by his unfortunate identification
with o cause which has already
faded into the most impalpable of
shadows.
1t is somewhat curious that Ew-
ing, who Is personally very popu-
lar and worthy man, should be SO
decisively defeated just as green
backism is declining into the sere
and yellow. Unlike Thurman, he
was not an eleventh-hour convert
to that cause, but one of its origin
al and most vigorous apostles. His
defeat sounds the knell of political
slde-shows for the next Presidential
election, at least. Perhaps when
another period of commercial de-
preston shall follow the "fush'
times which are certain, barring
war, to rule 10 the United States
for the next four or five years, the
Ingenious and enterprisiDg gentle
men who get up third parties and
fourth parties may find theatel
for their energies without being
liable to suspicion of wishing tc
help the Republicans. But, as fal
as regards the next Presidential
election, at least, that political
wiseacre who tells his followers
that the contest is not to be abso
lutely between the Democratic ant
Republican parties, with any othel
element operating simply as a Re
publican skirmishing band, is
blind leader of the blind, and they
will all fall into common pit dug
by ignorance or chicane e, or both.
