PRESERVING NEWSPAPERS.

Every one who takes a newspaper
which he in the least degree appreciates,
will often regret to see any number
thrown aside for waste paper, which
contains some interesting and important
article.
A good way to preserve short article
can hardly estimate the pleasure it affords
to sit down and turn over the pleasant
familiar pages.
Here choice piece of poetry meets
the eye, which you were so glad to see
in the paper, but which you would long
since have lost sight of had it not been
for your scrap book.
There is the witty anecdote-it does
you good to laugh over it yet, though
for the twentieth time. Next is val
liable recipe you had almost forgotten,
and which vas found just in time to save
much perplexity. There is sweet
little story, the memory of which has
cheered and encouraged you many a
time, when almost ready to despair un-
der life's cares and trials.
Indeed you can hardly take up sim
gle paper without re perusing. Just
glance over the sheet before you and see
how many valuable items it contains
that would be of service to you hum
dred times in life. A choice thought is
far more precious than bit of glittering
gold.
Hoard with care the precious gems,
and see at the end of the year what a
rich treasure you have accumulated.

BoRAx.-The household uses of borax
are important. 1t is in demand for the
toilet table. 1t will soften hard water !;
take the place of soaps which may injure
the skin; improve the complexion; rem
der the hair soft and glossy and promote
its growth. 1t is good for washing fan
nels. 1t will remove stains and greasy
spots from cloth; arrest fermentation in
milk, keeping it sweet. and it will pre-
serve meat without leaving any unpleas-
ant taste. 1t is an enemy to the minor
sorts of vermin. AS drug, used In
the form of gargle, it will cure many
forms of sore throat; locally applied, it
will relieve catarrh, reduce Inflammation
and benefit sore eyes. Borax aud alum
is no fit substitute for borax in its do
mestic use.

The Action of the Council

If tie Executive Council be honest in its
expressed intention of governing itself by
the will of the people it has taken a most
unfortunate way of showing it. Its action
in denying to citizens access to the returns
which have now become public records may
be dictated solely by an angry desire to put
its political opponents to anxiety and trouble,
and it may, on recovering its temper, do its
plain duty and afford interested parties op-
portunity to correct, according to law, tech
meal defects in the returns. But the course
pursued raises the presumption that the
council does not desire the correction OF
these defects, and will throw all possible
obstacles in the way of such correction;
that it proposes to avail itself of bubbles
and small technicalities in order to defeat
the will of the people as manifested at the bal
lot-boxes and to seat men in the Senate and
House whose claims have been emphatically
rejected by the voters to whom they were
submitted. Such is the inference drawn by
most men from the action of the council.
1t NAV be unjust; it is not unnatural; and
the council has only itself to blame, If
people persist in thinking its members are
more intent upon throwing obstacles in the
way of Justice and fair play than in ascer-
tanning the will of the voters OF Maine as
expressed at the polls st September. The
council has it in its power to remove this
suspicion. Will it do SO?

Well, 1 must talk politics again. When 1
came from the woods on the evening of eec-
ton. we met numbers Of freedmen who were
not permitted to vote. The election was
mere farce. The Democrats by armed force
seized two of the heaviest Republican boxes
Tor as it is at present the Independent partly in
the county, and they were not counted. They
also stole the poll book at another precinct, so
there was no voting done. They now openly
boast that ,hey will do the same next year, and
that they will rule the country in spite OF the
id Yankees. This is not the language of the
rabble, but of men that boast of their superb

ment we have, if they are permitted to go on
in this way. The negroes are very much dis
heartened, and the least encouragement from
the white men would make them rise up and
have general massacre. But this would not
do, as they would afterward be slaughtered
like rats. The Democratic party Is banded
together here in the nature of a conspiracy to
deprive the negro of his rights under the cop-
stitutional amendments. The government
freed them and did it as war measure, and 1
think they are entitled to protection. The
capitalists of the East have some interest in
the cotton culture of the South, but If the ne
groes are not given justice they will leave the
cotton culture OF the South to grow up III
weeds. White labor cannot cultivate these
praries like the negroes. 1t strikes me that

titled to little consideration at the hands of

ACCORDING to the Washington correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Press, the letter OF
Representative FELTON, is causing many an
gry comments, on the part Of prominent
Northern and Western Democrats now in
Washington. They say that if such are the
sentiments and purposes of any consldera-
able portion of the Democratic party in the
South, the party had better abandon its or
ganization at once, and any further efforts
to carry such States as New York, New
jersey. Connecticut and Indiana would be
waste of time, and in the language OF the
Gramercv Park statesman. "a futile dalli-
ance.'' These same gentlemen say that
''the Democratic party of the North and
West have suffered too much because OF
their devotion to the South to permit them
selves to be any longer inundated by such
threats as Representive FELTON, and others
are indulging in; that Southern leaders
must bear in mind that all the evils and dis
asters that have befallen the Democratic
party since the war are due entirely to
Southern arrogance, dictation and assump-
ton of superiority in party management, to
which the North will not submit; that the
recent successes of the Republican party in
the North and West were due solely to the
attitude of the South producing such results
as the Chsolm massacre, the Yazoo assas-
sinations, and their reckless reputation OF
State, municipal and private debts due to
citizens of the North; that but for these
things the probabilities are that the party
would not occupy the humiliating position
that it does to-day, but in all probability
would b. in the ascendency in the hitherto
