Hints for the Ladtcs.-To preserve furs
from moths: One ounce green camphor;
once ounce powdered shell of red pepper
macerate in s ounces strong alcohol torseven
days and strain. With this %tincture the
furs and cloths are sprinkled, rolled and put
away. 1t will be found effective.
To clean marble If stained with iron,
apply lenlon.iuice if soiled with dirt, wash
with soap and Paris white"
To prevent mould in books, paste, ink and
leather: \ few drops of lavender oil will
save "a library OF books.
To save milk Eight drops oil of laven-
der will save a gallon of milk.
To remove warts: Rub every day with
the juice of garden parsley.
Artificial musk: Drop b ounces of nitric
acid into one ounce of r%ectified oil Of amber.
In a day or two a black substance is pro
duced, which smells similar TO genuine
musk.

Goldsboro Messenger. The particulars of
what seems to be a deliberate, cold blooded
murder, have Just reached rs from Dudley,
in this county. The victim is Mr. David
Lanier, and his brutal murderer a negro man
named Deems Simmons. 1t appears that
Simmons was a tenant on Laniers lands,
and that some misunderstanding had sprung
up between them. Tuesday evening the
negro armed himself with an axe and pro
ceeded to Mr.. Lanier's house. Sharp words
ensued, after which Mr.. Lanier ordered
Simmons off his premises, who thereupon
turned and felled Lanier to the ground, deal
ing him two blows, from the effects of which
he died early Wednesday morning. The
murderer has so far evaded capture.
The painful information has been re;elyed
here that Mr.. Council b. Wright, a brother
of our townsman, Mr.. f. A. Wright, IS serl-

among other reasons that disinfectants

mysterious and potent influence. and the
Illuminating rays, Independently of the
others, communicate motion. The cxhal-
