said that the father was given to drink, "

her own labor. She was engaged in
making match boxes, for which she was

she having to find her own paste and
cotton. In this way she earned from

Secretary Blaine is receiving daily five
OF six letters from various parts of the
country, written by persons who claim
to be anxious to dispose of Guiteau.
They propose a variety of methods. One
OF the letters received Saturday was
from MissOurian, who says: MY
dear sir-I understand they are to put
Guiteau in an insane asylum for life.
Can't you arrange it to send him out
here and let US fix him?' A postscript
says that Jay Gould would undoubtedly
give Guiteau free transportation West

Witty, But True.

Some of the sayings OF the pious
but witty English clergyman, Rev.
Rowland Hill, were remarkable for
hitting the nail on the head. Not
another blow was needed TO drive
home.
Being very much grieve1 at the
conduct of some Of his congregation
who were frequetly unpunctual. he
once offered the following prayer:
"0h Lord, bless those who are in
their places. have mercy on those
who are on the road, and save those
who are getting ready TO come"
He once said OF man who knew
the truth, but seemed afraid to
preach its fullness.
"He breaches the truth as dom
key mumbles a thistle-very eau
tiously."
On wet day a number of per-
sons took shelter in his chapel dur
ing a heavy shower. While he was
preaching he remarked;
Many people are greatly to be
blamed for making their religion a
cloak, but | don't think those are
much better who make it an umss
brelia."
Entering the house of one of his
congregation, he saw a child on a
rocking horse. Dear me-" remark
ed the aged minister, show won
drously like the christian! there is
motion but no progress"
A professed Christian who was alb
dicted to drinking asked him inn
pertinently. "Now do you think,
Mr.. Hill, that aglass of spirits would
drive religion out of my heart ?"
NO." he answered. for there is
none in it"
a lady who professed religion, but
whose daily practice was not in
harmony with it. once said to him
81 am afraid lest. after all shall
not be saved"
Il am glad to hear you say so,
replied Mr.. Hill, ''for have lons
been afraid for you, assure you"

cned.

recollect asking "Stonewall, ,"who
was my cousin, if he had ever been
frightened in war. He said yes,
once he was considerably under the
sense of fear. 1t was in the city of
Mexico. A chest containing q large
sum OF money had been put in
Lieutenant Jackson's charge, aid to
be perfectly secure OF it he ordered
it carried to MS headquarters, in an
old abbey or convent. and laid
down there alone in the room with
it to sleep, a sentinel walking the
corridor outside. He had been
there in bed only a few minutes.
and was getting drowsy, when he
distinctly heard something under
his bed, which lifted up as if a man
had been secreted there. Jackson
said he leaped out of bed and drew
his sword and examined the bed
and room in vain. Jackson then
supposed he had been possibly
dreaming and resumed his bed.
Just as he was thinking all mis-
take his bed lifted again, plainly
and with some force. He started
forth second time, sword in hand,
and behold nothing was there
This time," said he, II was scared,
indeed, till my attention was called
to a shouting outside in the street,
and then | found that it was an
earthquake passing under the City
of Mexico that had lifted my bed
up and given me such apprehension.

How shall we kill weeds and how
rid the soil Of the species !? A very
simple matter indeed, if we would
use the same common sense shown
in other things. Will a field of corn
or wheat, or a hill of squashes or
melons produce good seed if cut
close 70 the ground just taa ir flowers
are forming ? Every !. "a. plant
or weed we know of VIII surely die
if cut at the surface just before it
blooms. Cut little higher. above
a portion OF the leaves, and life may
be continued until new sprouts come
out, which, in time, may produce
seeds. In ordinary cultivation we
are quite apt to keep root and top
together, and to let portion of the
roots remain in contact with moist
earth. Weeds treated in this way
do not make so handsome growth
but they will continue the species
quite well enough. A young plant,
buried root and branch in the soil
to q good depth. will surely die. 1t
must have air, wsrmth and sunlight.
ordinary cultivation early in the sea-
son kills the larger part of the weeds
of a field, and if cultivation were fre-
quent enough and thorough it would
Kill everything that grows from the
ground. In Il season moist enough
to sprout seeds it takes but very few
weeks to rid Il field almost absolute
ly of both weeds and weed seeds. A
plow, harrow and roller are all the
toals needed. Plow to bring up the
seeds from the under soil and har-
row Just as often as chop Of seeds
start, rolling the ground each tine
to compact the soil that other seeds
may germinate. A dry season is
not half SO good as wet one for
killing weeds by this method. AL
most all our dooryards are nurseries
of weeds, from which continual
streams are flowing unobserved to
other parts of the farm.-Ne,e Eng

Our WASHINGTON LETTER.
V.euYrcrox NV ~ 1881

WAsHrNGTox, Nov. 20, 1881.
Now that Thanksgiving festivities
are over. politicians have turned
their att, ntion seriously to business,
and much substantial, work will he
accomplished by the various candi-
dates for the Speakership before
Congress nvenes on the 9th OF
December Nearly all the candidates
are on han :, and have established
headquarters, as the saving is that
is they have hired suites of rooms at
the leading hotels, and are making
their canvass in way that is pretty
familiar in almost every State capi-
tai in the country. To hear the adj
herents of the various candidates
talk, is to be very much mystified
on the inathematical aspects of the
question. 1t is pretty we'll establish
ed that there is but one Speakership
of the House, and vet, from TIE as
sertions of their friends, at least six
men, Kassop, Keifer, Hiscock, Bur-
rows, Dunnell, and Reed, are to
have this office. | gather, from all
that l can hear, that only three can
didates have at present any strong
committed support. These are Kas-
son, Keifer, and Hiscock. The chief
objection to Mr.. Kasson is that he is
too good for the place. and that his
party want him on the floor, where,
since so many leading members Of
last session have stepped up higher
into the Senate, there is no glut of
first-rate ability. Mr.. Kasson is,
without doubt, very able, and, it
may be said, brilliant and accom-
plished man. 1t is not too much to
say he is, by odds, the ablest man
on the Republican side. As law
yer, statesman, parliamentarian, a
diplomat, and man of the world, he
has, perhaps, a better equipment
than any other public man. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that diplomacy
is useful only at foreign courts. That
is about the only place that an
American has no use for it, and,
when say that Mr.. Kasson is q
diplomat, / have no reference to his
late residence in Vienna. He is a
diplomat in that he is skillful in re-
conciling differences within his own
party, of avoiding danger in the
treacherous sea of politics, of gain
ing his victories without malignity,
and with the always desirable possi-
bility of reconciling the vanquished.
The Speakership contest will,
from to-day, grow more exciting.
The Greenback members will arrive
next week, and, it is stated, that un-
til they are here, nothing can be de-
finitely announced regarding their
going into caucus or other inten-
ticns. A prominent Greenbacker
said, yesterday, that tie Greenback
party followers DO not propose to ac-
cept the House patronage that may
be extended through any acts OF
their Representatives. The question
of a combination seems to be prac-
tically given up. The Republicans
have 146 votes, and only need one
for a majority. This additional one,
it is claimed, will be that of Con-
gresham Hyatt Smith, On the
other hand, the Democrats of hard
money proclivities will not enter in
to any coalition with the Greenback-
ers, not only because the Greenback
party has now no standing in the
country, but because it would be
better to make one party wholly re-
sponsible for the political welfare Of
the country.

Paper Blankets.

Everybody knows that a layer Of
newspapers over a bed affords as
much warmth at night as the ordi-
nary counterpane. Various at
tempts have been made of late years
to turn this to account, but owing
to the cracking nature of the paper
and impossibility of securing free
ventilation beneath the paper cover
ings, the idea has been abandoned
again and again. A Manchester
(England) firm are, however credit
ed with having overcome these OBJ
jectipns, and have invented paper
blanket which furnishes as perfect
ventilation as takes place beneath
an ordinary wooden blanket. The
new covering is made oftwo sheets Of
paper, between which a layer OF
wadding, chemically prepared, is
inserted in such a way that it can.

feeling when new, but this soon
wears off and the coverlet becomes

the strength is much greater, having

is manufactured. As far as looks
