THE Enferprise makes tho following
Suggestions tonching the question Of
silver circ,ilation:l .sIrrE s'Eu r'.'' .sl
1.-THE jourpalistio enemies Of silver
are doing "a great deal Of squawking over
the fact that there nrs hive hundred
tons oi silver dollars in the Fteasury,
nnd are asking, 'what shall we do with
them?' The answer to thiA ronuudruu
Is very easy. Let Congress compel
Secretary Sherman TO Circulate them.
They can be paid outfur pensions.
They go at par, aud the pensioners can.
not loose anything in paying them ont.
Let them be- paid to Guverurnvntr con-
tractors. They are legal tender. and
the employees Of the contractors eau get
a dollal's worth OF goods Mt the store for
a silver dollar. 1t is the easiest thing
in the world To circulate the silver dol,
lars and relieve the Treasury vaults OF
the accumulation il Secretnry Sherman
will oHly honestly endeavor TO do 30.
The more the dollars eircrlate the more
valuable they will hecome.'
The action OF the House. the other
day, in requiring the Secretary TO pay
ont the amount appropriated to the
Civ Service-S7l 900. .OOo-in silver coir,
was move in thc right direction, aud
il is to be hoped that Mr.. Sherman may
be further co reed in the same direction.

USEFUL RECIPEs.-The best proven
tives against moths in robes and house
hold articles are to put them away,
before may or June, where the moths
can not reach them when about TO lay
their eggs. Expose your robe to the
air and sun for hours, after a good
beating, to dielodge any insects or egg
and brush over their retreat with tar
pentine. Strew camphor among furs,
feathers. carpets or wooden goods,
when they are put away for the
summer.
The following mixture will be found
the best thing for cleaning brass, cop
per, tin, stair-rods, taps, and even
windows, and it is quite worth the
trouble of making once year, as the
quantity given will last that time, and
the best way is to store it in wide
mouthed pickle jars Of glass or stone :
One pound whitening, one pound rot
ten stone, one pound soft soap, one
tea -cupfrll vinsgar, as much water as
will make it a thick paste. Let it boil
fully ten minutes, and when nearly
cold, add half a pint Of spirits of tur-
ppntire. When You use it pnt very
little on a rag and rub the article You
wish to clean yell with it. until it be
comes bright, and then polish with
leather dipped in powdered bath brick
Unless you nse Bath brick it soon tar,
nishes, but Bath brick preserves the
polish.

THE MORGAN ROADS TO Thx,s.-
We are pleased to learn that the Nor

lousas is twenty -"ne miles north IF
Vprnillinnviile, on the route to Alex
andrln. 1t is one-huu.lied and sixty
five miles from New Orleans, and
about half the way to Shreveport. Mr..
Rogers, an experienced railroad man,
has the contract. We are positively
assured that there will be no step in
the work till the road is completed to
Alexandria, and, if that time there be
no road from Alexandria to Marshall
or Shreveport, the Morgan Company
will build one. So, under all circum-
stances we are bouLd soon to have two
railroads to Texas-one via Vermil-
lionville to Houston, the other via AL
exandria-the result of the enterprise
of Mr.. Morgan and the company which
succeeds him.
In this connection we will also state
we learn that the road fom Vermil-

before the first of July cars will be
running to Houston, with all rail- Dad

BORN IN A GRAvE.-A horrible Oc-
currence is reported from Castel, near
Guidici, in Italy. A poor woman, near
her confinement, was seized with fit
of catalepsy, which the surgeon who
was called in mistook for death. He
gave a certificate accordingly, and
twenty four hours later the woman
was buried in the common grave of
the cemetery. A few days atterward,
on the grave being opened for the
BODY of another interment, it was re-
marked that the body of the woman
had been disturbed. On examination,
the eyes were found partially opened
and distorted, the bandage in which
the legs had been swathed was burst
asunder. and a child had been born
The doctor and the president of the
commune have been punished fol
their criminal carelessness by impris-
onment for three months.

you were born, or what's your name,
or when you expect to get married,
and there's ten dollars fine for not an
swering census takers questions, and
if was you wouldn't be seen at the
door in such a slouchy morning dress,
so there"
ooh, you hateful thing. You can
just go away. I'll pay ten dollars
just to get rid of you, and smile doing
it. It's none of your business, nor the
censnses', either. No it isn't. You
can keep your pattern and your plum
pudding, and your saucy, impudent
questions to yourself-I-I."
"Good morning. l must be getting
on. | haven't done but three families
all the forenoon" and an energetic
bang of the door just missed catching
a foot other trailing dress irts.-New
