"Let me Join you and we will get b-d

Here is a bit of information that may
be- worth something to housekeepers
lust at this time: "To thoroughly rid
a house of red and black ants. cock
reaches, spiders, bedbuss, and all
crawling pests, which infest our homes,
take two pounds of alum and dissolve
it in three or four quarts OF water. Let
it stand on the fire until the alum dis
solves, then apply it with brush,
while nearly boiling hot, to every Joint
and crevce in your closets, bedsteads'
pantry shelves and the like. Brush
the crevices in the floor of the skirting
or mop boards, it you suspect that they
harbor vermin. Cockroacfes will flee
the paint which has been washed in
cool water. If, in washing the ceilingi
plenty of alum is added to the lime, =,
will serve to keep insects at dis
tance."

The Courtship Of Julia Smith.

The "courtin" CT Miss Julia Smith, Of
Glastonbury, began in literary cores

venerable bridegroom at the wedding
reception, "whsn read that her sister
had departed, and wanted to express
my sympathy in some way, but knew
not how to do it exactly, but finally
sent her volume Of my poems, having
written on the margin, with deep
sympathies of the author Ther1upon
she sent me a pamphlet entitled abby
Smith and her Cows On the cover of
that pamphlet was an advertisement
saying that Miss Julia Smith, unaided,
had translated the entire Bible, and
that it was for sale at Hartford. i'm
mediately sent for it, and found that it
was unlike the usual version, or King
James Bible, as it is called. then be-
gan reviewing the Bible, and the first
thing that noticed was the lenses
how different they were from those in
the common version. then wrote to
the translator, aud she replied. then
wrote again and got another reply; and
finally / wrote to her that such large
book as the Bible could not be gone
over by correspondence, and said
that would like to visit her. She
then cordially and frankly invited me

uembers Off for Europe.

A large number of the more prom
inent members of the House and Sen
ate are contemplating leaving the
heated contests of the legislative arena
for the classic retreats and fascinating
resorts of Europe. Senator Edmunds
and family, Senators Pendlrton, David
Davis, Butler, Lamar and others are on
the qui rire, and they declare that they
cannot be detained much longer. In
the House, Robson, Loring, Rice,
Morse and many more are desirous of
leaving as soon as possible. Robeson,
more independent than the rest, will
leave on the first of June, whether Con.
gress adiourns or not. So many push
ing to get away, and still more contin,
ually growing to get home, will have
some tendency towards shortening tue
session, but when Congress will really
adiourn no one knows. The same con
hicting opinions exist new as have ever
since the session was called. Joe
Blackburn was asked yesterday, wAei
they were going to leave. "The LORD
knows, says Che LpoDlhe heh Nch idh
"for am sure | do not" "And wher

say about adjournment, Mr.. Corger"
And then little satirist objector said
81 don't know when the Democrats
will get it through them that they ar
a set offcols and quit the business.
So it is almost impossible to tell or
even form reasonable idea whe'
adjournment will take place.

what Don Cameron IL HNA"s.

Washington Letter to the Phh. SUNDAY
World.
No man living can tell how Senator
Cameron feels in regard to the Fresl-
dency. If "public opinion" drives
General Grant from the field OF candi-
dates he will probably be for John sher-
man. but Don Cameron knows that he
can be made Secretary OF the Treasury
if Grant is elected, and in view OF tins
it is highly probable that Don Came
ron delegation to the National Conven-
tion will be chosen, who, when the prop
er time comes, will withdraw the name
of Senator Cameron aud instead cast
their votes for the distinguished soldier
and statesman, U. S. Grant. This IS
what the friends of Sherman have to
guard against in Pennsylvania, and
MacVeagh and Grow and Frazier and
Tom Marshall will have to look sharp
or trick will be played on them that
will prevent their candidate, Sherman,
from getting vote from Pennsylvania
in the National Convention.

What wonderful condescension! God
beseeChes me to be reconciled to him
Nothing is more calculated to quiet
the mind in trouble than viewing all
things in the hands of God; and that
God is my friend.
Resignation to Gods soveleign will in

There is but one place of rest for the
human mind, and that is on the Rock
Christ.
Those who are intended to do any
eminent service for God are always

trust simply on Code wisdom and power,
and He gets all the glory.
Transact all business with eternity in

There is fountain of blood to cleanse

it is to keep you humble before Him.

The San Francisco newspapers tell Of

boy in girls clothes, and introduced him
TO Mr.. Noon as E visitor from Virginia
City. The boy was oomplsisant, and
the widower become Immediately atten-
tive, taking him out riding and to the
theatres A lavorite evening amusement
in the boarding house was to leave Mr..
Noon and the bogus girl alone in the
parlor, and watch them through the
glass doors. But there was a climsx in
the discovery by Mr.. Noon OF the cheat.
and he gave publicity to the affair BY
Threatening a lawsuit.
