POLISHING FURNITURE.

Here are few recipes for polishing wood
en- furniture and ornamental work. collected
from various sources. ID Two ounces of
wood naphtha, half ounce best shellac.
one drachm gum benzoin; crush the gums
and mix with the naphtha in bottle; shake
frequently till dissolved. It is now ready
for use. Dip a bit of cotton wool in the
polish lightly, and tie it up tightly in a linen
rag, to which apply little linseed oil to pre-
vent it sticking to the wood. Use this rub
Der" gently. Polish always from centre
outward and in with circular motion rapid
and light. Finish with drop of spirits of
wine on separate and clean ''rubber." This
will remove the oil. When dry your polish
will show finely. (2) lis said little whis
key put in clear water will give nice gloss
to furniture washed in it; or rub it with coal
oil, which is very cleansing, and the oppres-
slye odor of which soon evaporates. Boiled
linseed oil is excellent for oiled walnut. 81
Put into bottle one pint of linseed oil, half
Guartern of spirits of wine, half quar-
tern OF vinegar, and ource of butter of anti
mony. Mix all together, and shake the bot
tlewell before using it. az Boiled linseed
oil is best furniture polish. 81 Sweet oil
will remove finger marks from vanished
furniture, and kerosene from oiled furniture.
t6) Hot dishes sometimes leave whitish marks
on vanished tables, when set as they should
not be, carelessly upon them. For removing
them, pour some lamp oil on the spot, and
rub it hard with a soft rag. Pour on little |
spirits, and rub dry with another rag, and |
the whole mark will disappear, leaving the
table as bright as before. "a A shovelful of |
hot Goals held over vanished furniture will |
take out spots and stains. Rub the place
while warm with flannel. 81 The grain Of |
black walnut is quite open, and will readily
absorb great deal of raw oil without be.
coming polished. IT a little gum copal is
mixed with the oil, in short time the wood
will become as highly polished as a coach
body. (9) For old black walnut furniture
which has been vanished, take of shellac
two parts, boiled oil one part, shake we'll,
apply with cloth and rub brskly, for few
minutes.
SALT AS A MANURE.
we have applied salt to our garden say at
intervals OF from six to eight years, for %
or 81 years. We could not discover that it !
nad any particular effect. We believe, how
ever, that it bad good effect, beside de- =
stroying insect life. We use it almost an
nually on the asparagus beds, as most per-
sons do, and know that the plant greatly a
thrives upon it. In wheat-felds it tends TO
stlffen the straw and acts thus as protec-
Jon against storms, which lay low SO MANY il
fields. 1t also attracts moisture, and in
lines OF drought acts fayorably in this way.

MEDICAL.
III Y z Il !!

This important organ weighs but about lbs,
and all the blood in living person about 8
gallonsl passes through it at least every half
lhoUt, to have the bile and other impurities
filtered from it. Bile is the natural purgative
of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes tor
pid it is not separated from the blood. but
carried through the veins to all parts of the
system, and in trying to escape through the
pores OF the skin, causes it to turn yellow or a
dirty brown color. The stomach becomes dis
eased, and Dyspepsia, Constipation, Headache,
IBiliousness. Jaundice, Chills, DIalar;al Fevers,
Piles, Sick and Sour Stomach, and general de-
bility follow. Merrelrs Hepatire, the great
vegetable discovery for torpidity, causes the
liver to throw off from one to two ounces OF
bile each time the blood passes through it, as
long as there is an excess of bile; and the eff
fleet OF even few doses upon yellow complex
ion ora brown dirty looking skin, will aston
lish allwho try it-they being the first symp
toms to disappear. The cure OF all bilious dis
eases and liver complaint is made certain by
taking Hepatine i'll accordance with direc-
Itions. Headache is generally cured in twenty
minutes, and no disease that arises from the
liver can exist If a fair trial is given.

N0N-EXPLoSIvE LEAD.
Many mechanics have been sorely tried
when pouring lead around a damp or wet

heat of the lead. The whole trouble may
be stepped by putting piece of rosin, the
size of the end of a mans thumb, into the
ladle and allowing it to melt before pouring.

Judge Elisa War "Reminiscences.
Judge A. G. Ellis, of Eau Claire, leading
lawyer of that city, spent Sunday in st. Paul
and Minneapolis. During Pope's memora-
bla Headquarters in the saddle campaign,
Ellis, then lieutenant of Wisconsin regi-
ment, and himself on the sick list, was
placed in charge of forty invalids and
sent from the Rappahannock to Catlett's
Station to take charge of the brigade wagon
train. The wagon trains of Pope's whole
army had been assembled at Catlett's, in
Guiding the wagons belonging to Pope's
and McDowells headquarters. About two
thousand raw troops and half as many more
sick ones were depended upon to guard the
immense trains. Soon after dark the first
night two regiments of rebel cavalry, COM
manded by Mosby, charged the trains. At
ter burning the headquarter wagons and de-
pot, and taxing many prisoners, the Con-
federates formed to charge the train in the
care of Ellis and his sick mon. An officer
who ranked young Ellis insisted upon en-
unconditional surrender. Ellis drew his re-
volver, drove the craven into wagon,
formed his invalids and prepared to meet
the victorious cavalrymen. Three times
they charged and three times they were
driven back with less men and less horses.
It was the lieutenant's first battle and vic
tory. His was the only train the guerrilla
chief did not capture. At the battle OF
South Mountain he was shot through the
knee and was taken to the same room, al
Middleton, with Lieut.. Col. Hayes, who is
now the White House occupant.

Due in Jail Again.

Saturday Henry Adams was released from
Jail. Be it known that he was confined there
for playing peculiar confidence game on
the gullible granger. He it was who victim
lied farmer from Centreville by getting
him to take load of hay to Martin De-
laney's barn, unload it, and then seek De-
laney for the money, which he had
already given Adams in the belief that he,
Adams, was the owner. Another farmer
named Neill was trespassed upon by Adams
in the same way. Adams celebrated his re-
lease from jail, Saturday, by getting into
good fellowship with couple of colored
gentlemen living on Exchange streer. He
ingratiated himself so far as to get
one of them to exchange new hat
for his old one, he giving thirty cents to
boot, that is the promise. Then he increased
his promised Indebtedness by borrowing
another thirty cents from the other con-
fding negro. With this he departed, but
returned late at night. His return would
never have been known if he hadn't left the
new hat and taken the old one which he had
traded off in the morning. The two colored
gentlemen also report the loss of $3.50,
stolen, which they say was taken by Adams
at the time of his night visit, all because OF
the new hat he left, and the old one taken.

Burning Coal Sheds.

night about 1880 o'clock. Officer Baer de-
tected the fire down in the flats on EAGLE

ground and found the fire located
in coal shed or bin alongside
the railroad track at the corner of Chestnut

the Northwestern Fuel company, but fortu-

with the burning up of the sheds. For a
time several cars on the track were in inn

from engines No. and No. saved them
without SO much as scorch. The damage
is roughly estimated at $50 or thereabouts.
The origin of the fire is not known, but Is

the rainy weather.

The Roman Catholic Church.

The Rev. Merritt Hulburd selected the
"Roman Catholic Church" as the theme of
his discussion last evening. He began his
remarks by referring to the greatness of the
subject and confessing that he did
not feel warranted in extending
the time of the evening service, by doing OF
attempting to do Justice to the subject. He
then followed in a historical review of the
church, and showed by the pages of history
how it attained and retained strength. In
the course of his remarks, which were in
brief q history Of the church, he took
occasion to commend the church
for its charitable features and institutions;
its hold upon it's people; the harmony in the
church, or if there was detection, the mem
bers didn't hire q hall in Brooklyn to adver-
tise it to the world, but adjusted the diff
fculty within the church.
Allusion was made to the organic unity of
the church, its survival in all ages when States
were destroyed and the world even pushed
into the seeming abyss of destruction. It's
power to propagate was mentioned, neither
time, life or expense being spared, SO perfect
was its discipline, so we'll arranged its
means.
In this form the address was continued at
ieuStu, Dut uot Au1sAeu. MI. hulDuru ask
ed the indulgence of his audience
to continue "the discussion next
Sunday evening. He claimed to have
presented tho positive side, and next Sunday
would explain what he conceived to be some
of the perils to civilization and Christianity
which arose from the very claims of the
Roman Catholic church, which he had in all
fairness presented. In view Of the fact
that the lecture is left in an unfinished state
the GLOBE refrains from further report,
promising to give the discourse at length
when completed.
