OBTAINING CONTROL OF THE CITY.
PIE aovKRNoR's MESSAGE THOUGHT LIKELY TO
lead TO FURTHER REMOVALS COMMISSIONER
wgFeIERs CAsE-RUNORs ABOUT THE DOCK
DEPARTMENT
Anti-Tammany Democrats, who were MADE
happy by the removal of Police Commissioner
Smith, are still more delighted by Governor
Ro6inson's message. from which they infer
that he will approve the removal of Commls-
soner Wheeler if the Courts should cease to
interfere. They hope to obtain control before
election of the few departments in the city
which they do not now possess. and to force
the Democracy of the city by the powerful IN
fuence of patronage, to support their candi-
dates. The influence which the changes IN
the Police Board may have upon the elections
is explained in conversation with Seth u
Hawley, Clerk of the Board.

Bees and Fruit.

Every season we have letters asking
how bees can be prevented from injur-
ing grapes, peaches and other fruit.
There is no evidence that honey-bees do
injure these fruits. The mouth parts of
the bees are not strong enough to pene-
trate their tough skins, The most care
full observations of such men as Langs-
troth, Quinby, Root, and others, have
not found the honey bee to be the ag-
gressor. But when the skin of the
fruit is once pierced by wasps, hornets
or birds, then the honey-bee comes for a
share juices thus exposed; and while
it is often the receiver, it is never the
real thief-or rather burglar. This is
a matter of great Importance to fruit
growers, but before they complain of
the bee-keepefs, let them examine the
matter and see how far their losses are
due to the honey-bee, and how far to
their wild relatives, the various wasps
and hornets. American Agriculturist.

The Best Board Fence.

The best board fence that has ever
been made here Is call the 'pannel
fence" 1t has been III use for dozen
years, and now very little board fence
of any other kind is made. The boards
are usually twelve feet long, four inches
wide, and of beech, maple or other hard
wood. Four boards are nailed together
with patterns, one in the middle, and
one about one foot from each end,
spreading the boards far enough apart to
make the height of the fence. Four
inch square posts are driven about eleven
feet apart, and these pannels hung on
to the posts, upon iron hooks of half
inch iron driven into the posts. This
fence can now be made here for seventy
five to eighty cents per rod; If a man
has his own timber, his outlay aside
from his work need be but about twenty
cents per rod. A frame is usually made
t. nail the panels together upon, by
setting up three posts with blocks nailed
upon them, to hohl the boards the right
distance apart, and iron plates to clinch
the nails upon clinch or wrought nails
are used.
The advantages of this fence are the
following: 1t can be made in the win
ter or on rainy days, and with a frame
any man can make it. The panels are
piled up out of the way until wanted.
The posts can be sharpened and hooks
driven into them ut any time. 1t re-
quires n less number of posts if the
posts are Fitted by the frost they can be
driven back without breaking the boards;
if post rots or is broken it can easily
be replaced. The fence is easily re-
moved by placing lever under the
hook and drawing out the posts. Should
a panel become broken it can be re-
placed with a new one. Three men,
one to make the post holes with a crow
bar, one to drive the posts and one to
haul and hang on the panels and tight
Ell up the hooks, will set up seventy-ive
or one hundred rods in day. 1t has
been reported here that some one claims
a patent on the hooks, but do not know
of any one who ever paid anything for
using them.-H. j. c., Rock Greek,
Ohio, in Ohio Farmer.

Male Dressmakers.
New York Letter in Chicago Times.1

New York Letter IN chicago 1fmSs
There has been quite stir among our infiu-
entail ladies Of late about the rapidly increas-
ing number of male dressmakers in New York.
While We can not help bat like the work OF
man best, because he has learned his trade as
il were by lifelong pursuit which he does not

none Of the gentlemen are vet indignant about
it Imagine woman setting herself up a. a

patronize the lady Of shears, but the man dress
makers patrons neither find family protests as
Obstacles nor have any set OF influences until
within the last month determined upon him
dering the male from driving the female away
from the bread trough. These ladies belong
to the upper fashionable classes, and. while
they have hitherto been either painfully con-
sentative in the matters OF woman's self asser-
ton in public and business matters, or in some
instances decidedly opposed 10 those women
who believe themselves To be reformers. in JUS
tice to their sex, they refuse to tolerate
male dressmakers, and the latter must expect

on course this procedure is wholly one OF
self-sacrifce on the part OF society because, as
L mentioned, the man dressmaker cuts fits and

Preservation of Harness.

The first point to be observed is to
keep the leather soft and pliable; this
can be done only by keeping it well
charged with oil and grease; water is a
DESTROYER Of these, but mud and saline
moisture from the animal are even
more destructive. Mud. in drying. alb
serbs the grease and opens the pours of
the leather, making it a ready prey to
water, while the salty character of the
perspiration from the animal Injuries
the leather, stitching and mountings
1t therefore follows that to preserve a
harness the straps should be washed
aud oiled whonever it has been moist
ened by sweat or soiled by mud. To do
this stfeetnallv, the straps should all be
unbuckled aud detached then washed
with a little water and brown soap; then
coated with a mixture of neatsfoot oil
and be allowed to remain undisturbed
until the water is dried out; then thor
oughIy rub with a WOODEN rag; the rub
bling is important, as it, in addition to
removing the surplus oil and grease,
tends TO close the pores and gives fin
ish to the leather. In hanging harness
care should be taken to allow all straps
to hang their full length; brides, pads,
gig saddles and collars should be hung
upon forms of the shape Of each. Light
is essential to the care of leather, and
when the harness closet is dark the door
should be left open at least half of the
time during each day. All closets should
be ventilated, and when possible they
should be well lighted, To clean plated
mountings use a channels with . little
trip oil or rotten stone, but they should
be secured as little as possible. Rubber
covered goods are cleansed in the same
way. Leather covered needs to be well
brushed and rubbed with wooden rag.
II harness is thoroughly cleansed
twice a year, and when unduly exposed
treated Is we have recommended, the
leather will retain its softness and
strength for many years. . Harness

A Few Hints for Housekeepers.

have used all the following appli-
ances III my own house, and can com
mend them 10 others:
If the covers Of the sofas and chairs
are dirty they may be cleaned without
being removed by first washing them
over with flannel, then, before. they
are dry, sponge them over with a strong
solution of salt and water, in which Il
small quantity Of gall has been mixed.
The windows Of the room should be
opened SO as to secure perfect drying,
and the colors and freshness of the arti-
cles will in this way be restored. Floor
cloths may be cleaned with Il mixture
Of magnesia, only milk warm, followed
by warm water, in the same manner
that carpets are cleansed. They should
be rubbed with dry flannel until nearly
dried, then again wet over witha sponge
dipped in milk, and Immediately dried
and rubbed with a flannel till the polish
Is restored. This is a process much to
be preferred to that of rubbing the cloth
with wax, which leaves it sticky and liable
toretain dust and dirt for II long time.
Very hot water should never be used in
cleaning floor cloths, as it brings off the
paint. Cleaning mirrors and polished
steel articles is an easy operation, when
rightly understood. The greatest care
should be taken in cleaning a mirror, to
use only the softest articles, lest the
glass should be scratched. 1t should
first be busted with a feather brush,
then washed over with sponge dipped
in spirits to remove the fly spots; after
this it should be busted with the powder
blue in 4 thin muslin bar, and finely
polished with an old silk handkerchief
Polished steel articles, if rubbed every
morning with leather, viii not become
dali or rusty; but if rust has been sut-
cred 70 gather it must be Immediately
removed by covering the steel with
sweet oil, and allowing it to remain for
two DAYS; then sprinkle it over with
iinely-powdered unslacked lime, and rub
it with polishing eather.-Gormantown

Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong;
We ONLY make grief double
By dwelling on it long
Why clasp Woes hand so tightly?
Why sigh Ger blossoms dead +?
Why cling TO forms unsightly?
Why not seek JOY instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though all the days be dark
The sun may shine tomorrow
And gayly sing the lark.
Fair Hope has not departed,
Though roses may have fled;
Then never be down-hearted,
But look for JOY instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,

On this side OF the tomb.
Whilst stars are nightly shining,
And heaven Is overhead,
Encourage not repIning,

From the Buena Vista August
Corbin Kendriek and some other
freedmen found, near Buena Vista, Ga.
hawk lying on its back near the road.
The ground for several feet around
showed signs of a desperate struggle.
A snake was coiled around the hawk,
and was holding it perfectly still and
apparently in the agonies of death.
kendrick tried to kill both snake and
hawk by shooting them, but the shot
broke only one wing of the hawk. The
snake was then struck with a stick
As soon as its coil was broken the
serpent sprang at the man who had
struck it, and then went back to the
hawk. The hawk arose and seized the
snake by the head, and the negroes
killed the serpent.
