The Currency Question.
REPRESENTATIVE FORT HAS ANOTHER INTERVIEW
WITH THE PRESIDENT.

WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Representative Fort Of Illinois, had another
interview with the President yesterday, in rela-
tiOn to the latter'S recommendations concerning
greenbacks and Gen. Forts adverse resolution
now pending before House committee on bank
ing and currency. Particular reference was
made to the apparently conflicting stat amentS
that have been published in regard to their
former interview on this subject, and the PreSi-
dent assured Gen. Fort with great cordiality
that there was really no essential difference be-
tween their respective understandings OF TIE
purpose of that interview, and he reiterated that
although he adhered to the financial recommen-
dat1ons of his message, was responsible for them,
and still believed in them, he would neverthe-
less not feel in the least aggreved by Gen. Forts
continuing to press the resolution in question,
nor by the republicans adopting ii, If the party
disagreed with him.
THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS WILLING TO LEAVE
WELL ENOUGH ALONE,
The advisory committee of the caucus Of re-
publican Senators, consisting OF Messrs. Morrlll,
Conkling, Hamlin, Mcmillan, Booth, Kirkwood,
Logan and Carpenter, have decided to recon-
mend that the party in the Senate commit itself
to the policy OF nOn-actfon in regard to any and
all legislation affecting the currency, whether
gold, greenbacks, or silver, during the present
session of Congress. The committee are unani-
nous on this proposition, with the exception OF
Senator Morrill,, who will recommend as mi.
nortty of one that the greenbacks be divested of
their legal tender power, and that some provi-
sion be made for their retirement.

A Printers Blunder.

Napoleon II. is one of the faintest OF
figures in French history. In point Of
fact he never reigned and was never
recognized by that title save once by
the Executive Committee of the Cham
3bers before the accession of Louis
XVIII. He was known as the King of
Rome and latterly as the Duke of
Reichstadt. His life, after the six
years Of royal babyhood in the Tuiler-
les, was spent in Austria with his moth
er's family. In 1882, at the age of
twenty-one, he died at Schonburn,
many said of poison. "A weak and eff
Terminate creature, it was absurd to give
him place among the reignfng monarchs
Of France. When the Second Empire
was established many wondered at the
title assumed by the Emperor, sNapo-
leon LII" It was explained then that
he desired to be. considered q sovereign
by legitimate heredity and had thus
recognized the claim Of his cousin, Is
that Of the poor Prince in the Temple
was recognized BY the Bourbons after
the restoration. But it appears now
that. upon the authority Of the, histori.
an Kinglake, the intention Of Louis
Napoleon was to call himself simply
Napoleon, and that = printers blunder
was responsible for the change. Just
before the co.p d'etat . Minister Of the
Home Office, busy preparing provincial
sentiment, wrote: IS Que le mot d ordro

A Secret Worth Knowing by House.
Keepers.

A sort of trade-secret among uphol-
sterers, it is said, is this recipe for rid
ding furniture of moths: A set of furni-
ture that seemed to be alive with the
larvae, and from which hundreds of
these pests had been picked and
brushed, was set into a room by itself.
Three gallons of benzine were pur-
chased, at thirty cents gallon, retail.
Using small watering pot, with q fine
rose-sprinkler, the whole upholstery
was saturated through and through
with the benzine. Result: Every moth,
larvae and egg was killed. The benzine
dried out in q few hours, and its entire
odor disappeared in three or four days.
Not the slightest harm happened to the
varnish, or wood, or fabric, or hair
stuffing. That was months ago, and
not sign of moth has since appeared.
The carpets were also we'll sprinkled
all round the sides of the room, with
equally good effect. For furs. dannels
indeed. all wooden articles containing
moths benzine is most valuable. Put
them in box, sprinkle them with ben.
zine, close the box tightly, and in q day
or two the pests will be exterminated
and the benzine will all evaporate oD
opening. In using benzine great care
should be taken that no fire is near by,
as the stuff, in fluid or vapor form, is
very inflammable. Springfield Mass

Catching Cold-Dry Bathing.

Thin-skinned persons catch cold most
easily. Active exercise sets them into
9 perspiration, and the sudden check
ing of the perspiration, when exercise
ceases, causes cold. Such persons
may seldom have severe colds if they
learn how to manage them, and per-
haps they have less actual sickness
such as interferes with work or pleas
ure-than persons who do not take cold
easily. Flesh brushing during the
cooler months lessons the liability to
catch cold. A flesh brush is much like
an ordinary hair brush, only with q
longer handle. I have seen very
good one made of hair brush with a
longer handle attached to it. / Habit
makes the use of flesh brush on I'M
dressing for bed or on rising in the
morning, q luxury and almost a me-
cessity for comfort. A brief vigorous
rubbing of the skin promotes its healthy
activity and its ability to resist cold.
Cold bathing has been recommended
as preventive of cold, but it has
dangers connected with it which dry
friction has not. For persons in ordi-
nary health cannot believe in bathing,
except for cleanliness, and water Of
comfortable temperature answers this
purpose best. The cold baths which
shock the system and then cause a
vigorous reaction Tin those strong
enough to bear them at ally, seems to
be Objectionable for the same reasons
that other stimulants are, used in any
cases except in emergencies. They seem
to increase the strength, but call it out
unnaturally only to waste it. But q
bath is an excellen. thing as curative
agent when one has taken cold, if used
judiciously.
For instance, boy in this family
hung out the clothes for his mother one
chilly washing day not long ago, and
when he came in it appeared that he
had been handling the cold, wet clothes
bare.handed and bare-headed, and he
was thoroughly chilled all over. This
happened just after a late hearty din,
rer, and as the chill seemed to increase
I was confirmed in my suspicious that
he had taken hard cold. 1 had him
put on his overc0at and sit with his
feet to the fire in warm room until he
was thoroughly warmed, and before he
went to bed he had a comfortable bath
by the fire and good rubbing; and if
there was any cold'' next day, it was
SO slight that we did not notice it.
have tried the same method of cure for
myself when warned by obstinate chilli
ness that had taken cold, with excel
lent success, and think it much more
reasonable than to derange the stomach
with any of the popular doses used for
colds. Half our colds would be avoided
altogether if we would not allow our
selves to get gradually chilled by going
with insufficient clothing, or sitting in
chilly rooms, allowing an uncomforta-
BILE condition of chilliness, because the
cold does not actually pinch and sting
us. A brief sharp exposure is less
dangerous if quickly followed by the
proper temperature. This should not
be q hot-house atmosphere or sum-
mer climate in our homes. In that
case the change is too great from the
out to the indoor atmos sphere. Faith

What a Deed Of q Farm includes.

TIE following is from an address Of
Hon. Edmund II. Bennett, delivered be-
fore the Massachusetts, State Board Of
Agriculture: q
OF course everyone knows it conveys
all the fences standing on the farm, but
all might not think it also included the
fencing stuff, posts, rails, etc., which
had once been used in the fence, but
had been taken down and piled up for
future use again in the same place.
But new fencing material Just bought
and never attached to the soil would
not pass. So piles Of hoop-poles,
slowed away, if once used on the land
have been considered . part Of it; but
loose boards or scafold poles laid
loosely across the beams Of the barn
and never fastened to it would not be,
and the seller Of the farm might take
them away. Standing trees, Of course,
also pass as part OF the land; 60 do
trees blown or cut down and still left
in the woods where they fell. but not il
cut and corded up for sale; the wood
has then become personal property.
Is there be any manure in the barn
yard, or in 9 compost heap on the field,
ready for immediate use, the buyer or.
dinarily takes that, also, % belonging
to the farm; though it might not b ca

Bridal Dresses.

The material for bridal robes this
season are remarkably elegant. Ex-
tremists in fashion select brocades-
satin brocades for brides over twenty
years of age, and silk brocades for
younger brides-though plain satin, by
conventional consent the one material
always in vogue for the bridal robe, is
clamored for by some, while plain
gros-grain silk has its votarles, and
India null, Swiss null and French
organdy muslin dresses are sent out
for youthful rustic brides, who do not
feel willing to afford the expense of a
dress more costly.
The silks, satins and gauzes which
are shown for bridal robes are in sew
eral distinct tints of white, and several
distinct shades of these tints. In cream
white, for instance, there is the dark,
rich, yellowish shade of the Attorney
cream, twenty.four years old; and, ac-
cording to the age of the cream, paler
shades, till the faintest ''off COLOR is
visible. In pearl-white we are shown
9 tint that almost approaches the
smoke-pearl in shade; another, that has
q suspicion of rose in tint; another,
with the faintest suspicion of lilac
this being quite perceptible on the
wrong side of plain satin or satin bro
cade: and from these scarcely percept.
ible tints of color in the silk fabrics
displayed, there are fainter and fainter
shades, till the existence of colored
ray is distinguishable only when laid
beside q piece of snow-white silk.
Cream-white of the medium shade is
that in the most decided favor for the
bridal robe; and of the whites IS that
which is regarded as the most become
ing or the least trying to the con- plex-
ion Frank Leslie Journal
IT appears from the French popula-
+ ton table, drawn up from the returns
of the census of December. 1876, that
the foreigners resident in France mum
bered 8O1, 200 persons, thus forming
2.17 per cent. Of the total population.
In 1851 the proportion was Los per

these 801, 700 foreigners, 374,50O were
Be|qians, 66 500 Germans, l65, 600 ltal-
ians, 62.50O Spaniards, $4,000 Swiss,
and Sc, 1000 English. The most strik-
ing fact shown BY the tables is the rela-
lively great number Of adults in
France, and the small number Of chill
sdren. Whereas in England children
under Is years Of age form about 36

New Cotton Dress Goods.

mummv cloth. and resembles in its
rough printed surface the mummy
cloth upon which tides and covers are
embroidered. The choice designs come
in soft faded colors, such as pale blue
with olive in stripes, one Of which has
sprays of flowers upon it. Some have
two or three shades Of olive foliage
forming stripes; others have ivory and
moss stripes, or else blue and pink
sprays. The merchants test these coll
ors BY having them washed-not with
great care, but as they say, washed

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do thew
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafled the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time. the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood.
and strengthen the system by freeing 4
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and condition. IN
oil climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills nay
