Practical Suggestions.

Young ladies who serve in the kitchen
as well as entertain in the parlor may
be interested in these practical sug-
gestions: rn
To remove ink spots on floors, rub
with sand wet in oil of vitroil and wa
ter; when tle ink is removed, rinse with
pearlash water. .. J..
Dry buckwheat, plentiful and faithful
ly applied, will take oil of carpets or
woolen goods: never put water'to such
a grease spot, or liquid Of any kind.
To clean tinware, dampen a cloth and
dip in common soda, and rub the ware
briskly, after which wipe dry; any
blackened ware can ha made to loo: as
good as new.
To take out fruit STAINS, rub the part
on each side with yellow soap; then Tie
mp a piece of pearlash in the cloth, and
soak well in hot water, or boil after
wards, expose the stained parts to the
sun and air until removed.
To take out tea stains, put the linen
in q kettle Of cold water rub the STAINS
well with common CASTLE soap put the
kettle on the side Of the stove TO let the
water get gradually warm; wash it
thoroughly in warm soap sudsi then
rub the stain again with soap, and boil
then rinse.

British India,

Since Great Britain came into power
in British India the population has in
creased from 135,000,0O0 to 230000,.
900, and gains about 100000 yearly.
The importation of the precious metals,
chiefly silver, In the last twenty years
has been at the rate Of fifty to sixty
millions year The coinage has been
$6S, 100000 year The conversion of
specie into ornaments has reached $780,
100000. Since 1886, when the nnonop.
oily af the East India company ended,
the expectation of goods has increased
fve-fold and the importation four-fold.
In July, 1875, silver fell in England a
shilling per ounce, or 20 per cent. in
consequence Of false reports as to the
bonanzas and the decentralization Of sill

silver she uses gold to some extent Tor
this purpose, and is now melting down
her gold ornaments and exchanging the
bar gold for silver In the United
States our treasury absorbs $2j,000;00C
in silver, Ten millions go into plate
and watches, of which we make more
than Epgland. At least $1,000, 900 are

CHESTER A. ARTHUR,
OF NEW YORK,
The Republican State Convent
FOR PRESIDENT,

The Republican state ConVentiOn'
The Republican State Convention which
assembled at Granite Hall yesterday. was
large gathering Of intelligent and fine
looking men. II the number in atten-
dance and the spirit manifested by the
delegates represent the party in the State
fairly, then there will be no lack of men
and enthusiasm to make this campaign
one of the hottest known in the State, and
to win decisive and glorious victory
next September. The denomination Of
Gov. Davis was foregone conclusion be-
fore the convention met; there was there
fore no question about the nomination to
bring men from York and Aroostook and
other distant points to the con-
vention. The busy season also would
naturally detract from the attendance, but
men left their farms and their shops will
ingly to give one day to political duties.
1t is evident that the bold, base. wicked
acts of the fusion party last fall and win
ter have made deep impression upon
the people, and awakened them to the
need Of energetic action to rebuke and
overthrow the conspirators against free
ballot and fair count in our elections.
Hence the convention was full of earnest
wide-awake men, eager to have the re.
publican lines formed and the advance upon
the enemy's works begun.
The convention was also entirely har
monious. There was not discordant jar.
The speeches contained sound and whole
some sentiments and were warmly ap-
plauded by the hearers. The resolutions
are square declarations on all points which
they touched. and no essential matter is
omitted The nomination OF Gov. Davis
was made with ringing applause, which
told better than words that he has won a
warm place in the hearts of our people.
Now that the convention is over so hap
PLY comes the necessity for doing valiant.
uuremitting work for the republican ticket

account Of being the first to indicate in
advance. by her election in September,
the set of the political tide as regards
the Presidential election. If Maine gives
good republican majority in September
for Davis, the courage. hope and ability
Of republicans will rise in every State
in the Union. But should Maine fail to
elect Davis, the prospect of General Gar
fields being elected President would be
darkened. for with Maine out of the
republican column in this fight the
republicans. may we'll despair of success
in the national election. Our friends in
other States have some stake in our cleo
ton. Let us hope they will not be indiffer-
cnt to the struggle in which we are about to
engage. There must be no doubt of the
result. We must elect our whole ticket,
governor, congressman. county officers
and members Of the legislature. But re-
member there Is no time to spare.
