We stand toEether with the hest citizens of Penn

hftcen years have Travelled up and down the,

aud thousands, like myself, who have twice
voted for Grant, will not do so again under any
circumstances.
Your determination to vigorously contest this
matter Will be all the more appreciated from the
close relationship you hold to the most pfomi-

aud good-I think tho common system OF paper
for the walls OF the bedroom - not the best. 1t
would present permanent surface, and a sur
face that would admit of systematic cleansing By
means Of soap and water, or ny dry scrubbing,
and such an invention will, 1 should hope, one
day be brought into common use
The nearest approach lnaro ever seen to per-
house of q friend of mine. who had bis room
very carefully papered With good fine paper Of
oak pattern Ihts pnp%er % ne fts eGated With coach
truth as hard as the panel Of a carriage itself
This wall could be washed with the greatest ease,
and was as perfect as need be; Sometimes in tho
and marble papers which are yarnished, aud
which bear to be washed very well; but have
never seen those walls 50 perfect p as the wills Of
the room specially nnmc, and certainly have
seen no approach to anything Of the kind with
III 4 room.
Presuming that paper is used for the wallis of a
bedroom, there art, certain rules which ought to
be followed In respect to the process. The first
Of these is that the paper selected should not be
flock paper: next, It ougas M not to have roised
Of the plnincst possible klnd, and, if may 50
express it, patternlcss; tho color should be gray
or II sea-grecn; and, lastly TIE paper should be
every three years at least. Moreover, in chang
ing the paper there should be no slipshod
method Ct putting nG nv Paper bef95e tho
tirely stripped of, tho, wall shond be we'll
cleAnsed Of dry paste. and tho new paper should
be nut on with paste that Is quite fresh and pure
The introduction of little alum into the paste
is always good practice.
In cases where person has suffered from any
one Of the contagious diseases, and has occupied
a room tho walls of which are covered with pu-
per, there should be no hesitation, when the
room is relieved Of its occupant, in clearing
every particle Of pnper from the wnl mt once,
also milking tho clearance as complete as posi-
BILE. | usually direct, in these cases, that the pa
per. while it il yet on the wall, should be s,,tu-
rlted with water that Is ut boiling heat, the water
being applied with n smn!t flannel or rwoolen
mop. III this manner two purposes arc served:
on with great readiness and completeness.
When the paper is thus removed down to the
sold walls. the walls may be fuu1igutet with sui
down, sponged, and allowed 10 dry. After such
cleansing the new paper mny bc laid on, the
ceiling hnving been previously cleansod and
cOlOrod.

THE PATIENT ANGLER.
An angler sat by IN old sawmtl,

An angler sat by IN old sawntll,
And angcd away in the flowing rill,
Dreaming Of fish that, traditions say,
Decp III those waters hide away;
Fickcrcl, perch, eel, md bull pout,
And legend whisper, specklet trout.
This last named ilsh must be taken on spec,
No man ever saw his head or his neck;
One min has seen tho end Of his tail
Going down stream like m express mail
But to our tale: AS I said before,
The patient angler sat by the shore,
And the tools Of h!s.trnde around him lay,
Hncklcs, dun. brown. red, speckled, and gray,
Ana A., tiles artificial; OF every hue.
h1illers, gruns, und grnsshoppcrs, too;
And good old ''Wa1ton's Angler Complete,'
The fishcrman's Bible, lay ut his feet.
AS thus he sat and nnGled away,
gently spoke to this fisherman gray,
"1Inllnn! my friend. how goes tho fight
With the finny tribes? lIadst G er il bite2"
mot yet,' he sighed, and whispered low,
"Ive only been here dag or so.'
Time rolled on and passed that way;
There sat the angler, old and grny.
The hornet had built Il nest In his hat,
His shoes were the home Of the sportiye gnat
And yellow Jackets were coming to rest
Within the folds Of his peaceful vest;
Were sporting around his snowy crown;
Bur there he snt by the old sawmill,
Happy, conteutcd, 0nd patient still,
As thus he sat and nnglod awny,
l gently spoke TO this fisherman gray,
!. .Hallna! my friend, how goes tho fight
With tho flnny tribes? Hnd'st Ger q bitc?"
"Not yet" he sighed, and whispered low,

evening receptions, and festivals.
Artificial flower aprons arc the latest novelty
In these lovely, frau art creauohs.
Blankets arc IS much decorated as any other
kind Of bed clothing and covering.
Pointed corsagcs, though E1uoh worn, have
not superseded round waists with BELTS
Bed lncn-piIlow shans sheets, and counter

Lise thread gloves come in great variety, hn-

Table cloths are openworked in stripes and
squares, to show tho red cloth beneath them.
Old-fashtoned bead bags ars sometimes seen
carried by Indies walking in Fourteenth street.
Low coiffures are worn by young ladies', high
Roman crown bralds and puts by matrons-
Nuns yelling Is the latest white and cream
co1ored novelty for summer toilets Of ceremony.
Many linen suits will be made with almost
plain skirts and plain round corsages with wide
Lace albums ara the latest fancy Of women
who have no re0k work to occupy their leisure
hours.
Bridal dresses are made OF white satin with
round dots, and trimmed with tu11e and orange

New tennis rules change the hight OF the net
at the posts to nine inches, the hight In the mid
die remaining as before.
Flirting fans in a:,fer petal shapes, decorated
with sentimental flower and heart designs
painted on them, are late novelties
Heiiotrope is the most prominent color IN most,
elegant toilets, and shirrng is the noticeable
trimming OF all light and semi-diaphauous
dresses
Black silk and satin toilets ct ceremony are
made brilliant with eu1broidcries OF black jet,
amber, and irridesccnt beads Of fine quality and
small size.
The prettiest old-fashionod bead bag seen in
Fourteenth street was Of fine black bends With
golden bees done in gold bends all over the
black bead groundwork. The fringes aud tasses

And the wind. tho wind In my satla,
Louder and louder roars-
stand here In my place,
With my foot on the rock below;
And, whichever way it may blow.
Inject it face to face,
AS brave man meets his Toe.
And, while We wrestlc aud strive,
MY master, the miller, stands
And feeds me with his hands,
For he knows who makes him thrive,
Who makes him lord OF lands
On Sundays take my rest;
Church-going bells begin
Their low, melodious din;
Icross my arms on my breast
And all Is peace within.

Here is another by Lord Erskine on Sir Walter
Scouts lons-forgotten poem, "Tho Field OF
Waterloo -:
= On Wnterloo's ensanguincd plain,
. Lie tens of thousands Of the slain:

Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, but which
is so good that It never grows old, the test Of

Here lies Doctor Of Divinity,
Who WIS Fellow, too, of Trinity:
He knows Us much about Divinity,

Here is an excellent one e. by an .1nkn2Wn au-

in its way nearly perfect:
When Drpheus went down to the regions below,
Which men are forbidden to SEQ,

To set his Eurydice freo-
Should ra.hly endanger his life.
And venture so far; but hcw vast their surprise
When they heard that he came for his wifel
To find out punishment due for his fault
Old Pluto long puzzled hts brain;
But Hell had not tormcnts sufficient, he thought,
So he gave him his vito back again.
But pity succeeding soon vanquished his heart,
And pleased with his playthfng SO well,

Such merit had music In Hell.

The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. Gar6eld-I call for separate votes
on each amendment OF the Senate.
A motion WIS made to lay the bill and
amendments on the table. The motion
was lost by 90 yeas and 40 nays. Mr..

The Senate amendments were then

THE BILL VETOED.
"The bill then went to the President,

tito the House unapproved and accom-
pnied by veto message. After the
Message was read, the question was,
Will the House, on reconsideration,
pass the bill, Notwithstanding the oh.

ras yeas ITO, nays SO. Two.thirds not
'oting in the affirmative, under the
Constitutional provision the bill stood
rejected. General Garfield voted NAY,

sim, page 2,277l, thus clenching his OPP
position to the passage Of the bill, and
Illustrating his disrespect for the dignity
aid humanity Of American labor, his
ontempt for the working man OF his
@n race, and his willingness to force
american free laborers into competition
ir their daily bread with a race that

In the foregoing we have Gar6eld's
ecord on the Chinese question, which

nnn and the Sugar.

When Dan was a small boy, just big
enough to run all about, he very soon
iound out where, on the lower pantry
shelf. a cup Of fine white sugar was kept
standing. and he would toddle in there
many times day and help himself.
"Dannv mustn't do So" his mother
said, sternly, and she whipped the little,
ht. royuish hand. but that didn't cure
him. lie only worked more on the
slv.
one DAY it CHANGED that the sugar
was taken away, and cup OF salt was
there instead.
Danny stole in, and had just put his
hand in the cup, when lie heard his
mother coming. -,
Snatching out a handful, he crammed
il into his mouth in great haste, and
started 10 run ont.
But oh, what splitting and sputter.
ing there was, and Danny choked till
the tears ran down his cheeks.
IL was the last time he ever tried TO
steal sugar.

Mr.. GARFIELD AND THE RASCAL.
The New York Herald, which has
been coaching Garfield's cause since the
Indiana election, makes this editorial
comment On the denial:
Mr.. Garfield is credited with two let,
tiers in reference to the epistle attributed
to him in relation to the conservation
of EMPLOYERS interests; and when We
consider how successfully he has held
his peace in regard to some charges
made to his prejudice this seems sim
gular fluency. In one epistle he au-
thorizes somebody else to denounce the
labor letter as bold forgery and in the
other he wants to send detectives after
the author. For our part We hope the
detectives may catch the author;
Though what could be done with him?
Nothing, perhaps; but then to catch him
would establish the truth Of Mr.. Gar
