Beltshoover in a Tight Place.


Over a week ago the Tribune printed
the following letter from Mr.. Beltzhoover.
the Democratic Congressman from the York
and Cumberland district Of Pennsylvania
House. ov REPRESENTATIVE.

Now this is an entirely truthful letter. 1t
states the exact facts. just as every intelli-
sent man understands them. concerning the
temper Of the present Congress. under the
leadership Of the Rebel Brigadiers. 1t is
only amazing as coming from Democratic
CongreSman-an official leader in the party
that is appealing TO Northern soldiers TO vote
for Hancock. Poor Beltzhoover discovers
the preposterOus Inconsistency too late. and
now declares the letter forgery. His friend,
the Philadelphia Chronicie- Herald, tells him
that tins is not enough-he must straight
way sue the local paper, the Carlisle Herald,
for libel for publishing it. and prove his case
before election in the courts The advice Is
admirable.
But, Mr.. Beltzhoover. don't sue in a
small way. The Tribune published the let
ter. Sue us. Sue US at once, and get the
matter to an immediate trial Sue for
hundred thousand dollars. That is the
smallest sum any blackguard asks of us for
telling the truth about him to his hurt.
Don't YOU sue for penny less And tina,
you may have no trouble in proving the
essential facts Of our offence, We herewith
repeat it in detail
We say YOU did write the letter. You
wrote it to +. W. Curridcn, Of Chambers
burg. You wrote all Of it, text and sigma
ture. You lied. when YOU said it was a
forgery. You lied. knowingly and deliber-
ately. hoping to deceive your constituents
You did not then know tina, We had the
original, and YOU though; You could lie your
way through.
There. Mr.. Beltxhoover; there's YOUR
material for q libel suit. Now come along
with 1t. Let the Carlisle Herald alone. Sue

What the South Desires.

Washington As follows to his paper:
That is what the contest amounts TO this
year. Disguise the issue as YOU NAV, it il
SIMPLY this, whether the solid South that
vent TO war to establish barbarism on this
continent, the South .olidifed by ignorance
stupidity, laIiness and the denial OF our
national power and greatness. shall come
back and lntrench itself again in Washing

u'es. One is to avoid doing or saying any
thing which can be tortured into the appear
ance Of a confession that he has ever done
ANYTHING that is wrong or that he is sorry
for. He calls it his '.honah" The other is
TO get an Office. He wants to keep up the
old distinctions somehow He is afraid he
shall seem to have changed-to be a little
less provincial. A, the same time he feels
the necessity Of cloaking his real sentiments
towards the North and the Union a good
deal till the good day comes when he shall
be atop again. To get on the top once more
to punish the men who carried the country
through the var and kept it one country
still, abolishing slavery as they wen, along
that is the real Southern desire
The South Is terribly weighed down with
African barbarism-no doubt about that,
The negro population is a social dead weigh,
around the neck Of any community where it
exists. This South was pretty badly punish
ed, too, during the years when il haughily
held sloof and allowed negro majorities to
rule. But could not the South-the in,elli-
gent whites have avoided that il they had

part of the new, free, loyal progressive
Union ? Privately. they will ADM, ,ha, they
could They preferred to suppress negro
majorities by kukluH methods and by tissue
ballots rather than By loyal, peaceable and
CIV ih-sd methods. Now that the negro ma
Jorities have Leen ,hrus, down they are to
be kept down by main force until the Re
publicans hand over the Offices to the men
who did this violence, and then we are TO
have the old Southern oligarchy tweaking our
noses and setting all the political fashions
once more.

A Mothers Love.

just before the circus opened yester-
day afternoon woman, accompanied
by her son, a boy about sixteen years
of age, appeared on the grounds and
was the first at the ticket wagon. When
the window was opened the mother said
to the ticket-seller:
elf you will be so kind as to let
poor widow woman's Johnny into the
circus he will carry water to the ele-
phant.''
g Stand back, madam, stand backr'
he cried as he took the half-dol1ars over
her head.
She took her boy by the hand and
marched to the entrance of the big
tent, explaining to the man at the door:
"My Johnny is going to carry hay to
the camels.''
"You and your Johnny carry your
selves right out of thisr' was the very
emphatic reply.
stCouldn't we both 90 in for ten cents
if we set on the ground?'
ssNo, ma am! Stand back, now; you
are in the wayr'
They fell back for consultation. The
boy had tears in his eyes and the moth
er looked determined.
"Don' tory, Johnny dear-your moth
er loves you and will get you in" she
consolingly remarked, as she led him
again to the ticket wagon. Crowding
and pushing her way in, she called out:
"This boys father was a preacher,
and you ought to let him in free"
''Stand back, madam, stand back!"
was the answer she got.
''Can't you let us in for ten cents?''
"No! mop
She drew the boy out of the crowd
and took walk around the tent. There
was a spot where the canvas was raised
little, and as she halted there she
said:
'Johnny, a mothers love can sur
mount every obstacle. I'll stand here
and you crawl under the tent"
She spread her skirts as far as posi-
BILE and the boy made a dive and dis
appeared. In about ten seconds he re-
appeared in the shape of a ball and he
didn't stop rolling until he had gone
thirty feet. The mother Strengthened
him out, lifted him up and inquired
what had happened.
"I-I-don't exactly KNOW replied
the boy as he looked back at the tent,
"but guess l don't care for any more

in place of itr'-DetroI Free Press.

WhiteWaShing.

Outbuildings and fences, when not
painted, ought to be whitewashed once
or twice yearly, with good coat of
lime wash 1t prevents decay of the
wood, and adds greatly to the appear
ance of neatness and healthfulness. The
cellar too, under the dwelling house
should be thoroughly cleansed and aired
at this season of the year, and the walls
and ceiling well whitened. The lime is
a great purifier and will keep the cellar
sweet and wholesome. A good wash
for cellars and outbuildings may be pre-
pared in the following way: Put half
bushel of lime into a clean water-tight
barrel, and pour over it boiling water
enough to cover it four or five inches
deep, stirring it briskly until the lime
is thoroughly slaked. After the slaking
is completed add water gradually; stir
ring it well until thin enough to use.
Then add pound of salt and two
pounds of sulphate of zinc. This will
cause the wash to harden well, and will
prevent its cracking or rubbing off.
Almost any desired shade of color may
be given it by the addition of different
inexpensive pigments. Yellow ochre
will give shades ranging from delicate
Gre am color to yellow, according to the
quantity employed. Lamp black pro-
duces shades from gray to lead color.
A good stone color may be obtained
by adding two pounds lamp black and
four pounds raw umber to the quantity
of wash made by the above receipt. For
out door work, a trif1e of color is an inn
provement, as it is less glaring; but for
cellars, or the inside of hen houses, or
any other place where the wash is used
partly for its effect as a disinfectant,
the less there is added to the lime, water
and sulphate of zinc, the better. 1t is
easily applied, as few splashes here
and there, whether on the ground or
the cellar bottom, will do no harm; the
principal thing to be remembered is to
keep the wash we'll stirred SO as to Sc
cure uniformity of color.
For the ceilings of rooms and other
inside work, where something little
finer is required, the prepared kalsom-
inc, which may be bought dry, and in
any desired color or shade, is the best
thing. 1t is not expensive, is easily
using than any other wash or paint. If
this cannot be procured a good white
wash may be made as follows: Take
half pound of best white glue and soak
it in cold water for ten or twelve hours;
then heat it carefully, without allowing
it to scorch, until thoroughly dissolved.
and stir into it fifteen pounds of Paris
white, adding hot water until it is thin
enough to use. The walls should be
thoroughly cleansed before apply ing the
wash, which must be allowed to cool
before using-Nea0 England Farmer.

Beds and Bedrooms.

Beds and bedding need especial care.
On fine days leave your sleeping-room
windows open several hours, if possi-
BILE, and, if not too conspicuous, leave
your beds unmade and let pillows and
mattresses air in the sun. Thoroughly
examine the bedsteads; take out the
Stats, which you will probably find Gov
cred with dust accumulated dust will
also be found on the Stats of the spring
beds); wipe this off with hot water and
salt. Salt dissolved in very little
water should be put on with a small
paint-brush in all the corners of the bed
stead, to prevent vermin from finding a
place. If they are already there this
must be repeated as often as twice q
week, until they are exterminated.
Also wipe the edges of the mat
tresses well with a cloth wrung out of
salt and water. You must meet this
matter promptly and give it your SUI
pervision, for if not attended to at once
they will get the better of you and cause
you great annoyance.
If there should be any spots on your
mattresses, try spreading paste of
starch mixed with little cold water;
let it remain until quite dry, then brush
off; if the spot still remains, put tea
spoonful of borax to a pint of cold water,
with a little soap-enough to make good
suds. Scrub the spot with it, using an
old nail-brush or small scrubbing- brush,
afterward wiping dry with a clean cloth;
We learned an art few years ago of
dear old lady with whom we were
spending the summer. She came into
the bright sitting-room one morning
with pillows and ticks and said she was
going to change the feathers from one
into The other. sNot here?'' we cried.
starting up in alarm, and with visions
of down and feathers flying all over the
room, over our clothing, and settling in
our hair. But she said, very quietly,
sDon't move; you won't know it if you
don't look" But we did look, and
found that we did not know everything.
In each pillow-tick she had left an open
ing in the side seam. about five er six
inches long, and at the top, in the mid
die, one about three inches long. TAX
ing pillow in her hand, she shook the
feathers away from the side and down
in the middle of the pillow, keeping
them there with several pins while she
ripped a slit in the side just as long as
the one already in the now one. These
openings she now sewed together, max
ing communication between the two.
Then she inserted her hand in the space
she had left in the end seam. and we
pinned it closely around her wrist,
| leaving no room for the feathers to fly
out. Taking the pins out of the pillow,
she drew the feathers easily out of one
into the other. When they were all
out she carefully removed her hand and
the opening was sewed up. The seam
between the two, as fast as ripped, was
pinned securely and afterwards sewed
up. The pins were taken out, the pill.
low beaten into shape, and it was done.
This bit of knowledge has been of great
use to us; let us hope that it will prove
as valuable to you.-Ladies' Floral Cab
