pa| An excellent whitewash for ceilings or
walls, can be made of Paris white, thirty three
pounds, and Cooper's white glue, one pound.
Put the glue to soak in cold water over
night; in the morning slowly heat until dis
solved in the water. Then mix both, and add
hot water to reduce to milk consistency, and
apply with brush. 1t is better to keep the
liquid warm over fire, or by the occasional
addition of hot water. A single coat Of this
is described as being equal to double coat of
lime whitewash. Il is far more brilliant and
pure, and will not rub off,

To PREVENT LAMP CHIMNEYs CRACKING.
A Leipsic journal, which makes specially
of matters relating to glass, gives method
which it asserts will prevent chmneys from
cracking. The treatment will not only rem
der lamp chinueys, tumblers, and like arti-
cles more durable, but may be applied with
advantage to crockery, stoneware, porcelain,
etc. The chirnneys, tumblers, ETC., are put
into pot filled with cold water, to which
some common table salt has been added.
The water is we'll boiled over fire and al
lowed to cool slowly. When the articles are
taken out and washed, they will be found to
resist afterward any sudden changes of tenn
perature The process is simply one of an
healing, and the slower the cooling part of it
is conducted the more effective will be the
work.

APOLITICAL SENSATION.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-I am enabled
to apprise the Tribune of political move
ment of the first magnitude, which the chief
promoters are not yet ready to announce, but
the facts of which reached your correspondent
from perfectly authentic sources. 1t has
been an open secret that in less than forty
eight hours after the result Of the November
election was known, an important conference
of leading Democrats was held in New York
City, with view to promptly meeting what
was even then regarded as the final crisis in
the career of the old Democratic party. At
that meeting were no less than eleven men,
bers of the National Democratic Committee,
besides a considerable number of Bourbon
Congressman and State politicians. Out of
that meeting has grown the movement refer
red to, and it has gained such impetus and
dimensions, especially in New Y crk State and
the South, to warrant the prediction that it
will prove revolution. The movement in
wolves the virtual abandonment of the Dem
ocratc name and party frame work. In 9TH
er words, disbandment of the Democratic
organization and permanent furling of the
flag. As one of the Southern leaders of the
new departure puts it, "The Democratic par
ty is as dead as Julius Caesar, so far as con-
Germs any hope of again controlling the Gov
ernment or shaping the plicy Of the Nation.
We can shin along from one campaign to
another as minority party, playing the part
of spy and critic on the successful and gov.
erning party, but nothing more and for one
I've got no time or stomach for any such -
nonsense. didn't go into politics for any
such purpose, and I'm in for change"
There is to be new party, and that before
another congressional election. The new gen.
Grafton of politicians at the South will come
to the front; the election of Garfield and
Congress, Republican in both Houses, will
be accepted as the Nation s final arbitration
and disposition of the subordinate questions
left as legacy by the war, and the main
elements of the old Democratic party, putting
the past behind them, will appeal to the
country under new name, largely new
leaders, and on entirely new issues. 1t is

THEM CATs.-A philosophical old gentle
men was one day passing new school-house,
erected somewhere towards the setting sun
borders of the glorious Union, when his at.
tention was suddenly aroused by crowd of
persons gathered around the door.
He inquired of boy whom he met, what
was going on.
".Well nothin', 'cept the skule committee,
and they are going in."
"Oh, committee meets to-day, eh? What
for?"
"Wel," continued the boy, "you see, Bill,
that's our biggest boy, got mad at the teacher,
and so he went all about and gathered dead
cats Nothing but cats, and cats. Oh! it
was orful, them cats!"
"Pshaw! what have the cats to do with
the school committee p
Now, we'll, you see, Bill kept bringn'
cats and cats; always pilin' them up yonder
(pointing to large pile, as largein extent as
pyramid and considerably aromatic } and
he piled them and piled them. Nothin' but
cats. cats!'
Never mind my son, what Bill did. What
has the committee met for?"
"Tben Bill got sick handln' 'em, and Bill
got madder, and didn't give up, but kept a
pilin' up the cats-and-
Tell what the committee are holding q
meeting for?'
"Why, the skule committee are going to
meet to hold meeting to say whether they'll
move the skule house or them cats !"

After vast amount of preliminary va.
porting something has really been done in
the star route cases. Warrants have
been issued against Brady and his imme-

against them in the district court. This
course was taken because an adjournment
Of the grand jury was secured in Brady's
interest. The gentle Dorsey case is not
reached by this information, but it is to be
brought before the grand jury.

There are 800 educated female physic-

show marvellous growth. Persons not
very far advanced in years can remember
when there were no women claiming to
practice medicine who were worthy Of pub
lie confidence. The change that already
has taken place is probably only the be-
ginning of a new era. In few years the
number Of women who are creditable doc

Ia ke Care Of Your Machinery.

b1Sn hS8BWr
It is an undeniable fact the farmers are
with few exceptions, too careless with
their farm machinery. How often do we
see valuable machinery just where the
farmer had finished work, and remain ex-
posed to heat and cold and the storms of
winter, or, perhaps, it is pushed under a
leaky shed, there to remain until wanted
again. Ofcourse, some of the wood work
will decay and the iron parts will rust,
thereby injuring the machine more than
seasons work would have done. Nor is
this all. When the machine is needed in
the field numerous repairs must be made
before it is ready and then there is
the unutterable pleasure of having break
down every day or two when your crops
are in perishable condition, 1t pays to
take care of machinery, and to do this,
take your machinery apart, oil the parts
that are liable to rust and put the whole
where it will keep dry.

Some people censure d. L. Pierce Eor
the action he has taken in restraining his
daughter from marrying the young
man Smith; but no one who il familiar
with the facts in the case would blame
him for q moment. The girl is but little
over 10 years old and very slender and
delicate for her age, and unused to the
ways Of the world. She is an only child
and Of course her parents wish TO keep her
with them a. long a. possible, but would
not object TO her marrying If she were old
enough. Outside parties have taken an
active part in the affair, which they should
not have done. For our part We do not
blame Mr.. Pierce at all Tor the action

Our readers will remember last week
our account of the young lady
and gentleman attempting to elope
from the western part of the
county. They will also remember that
the young man, being foiled In his at
Temps swofe that he would yet have the
girl-and 1t seems that he has succeeded
in making good his boast. The lovers
had matters so arranged that ION last SAL
bath evening the young lady and COM
panion-who was unaware of the part she
was playing=should take q walk and the
young man would rice up with two hors-
es, assist the young lady into the saddle
and gallop away to some place where they
could be married unmolested. The lady
who acted as second in this matter, strong
ly objected to the proceedings, and at
tempted to pull the runaway from her
horse, but failed, and the lovers rode rap
IDLY away. The father of the girl, assist
ed by two or three neighbors, started
in pursuit, but at last accounts no trace OF
the fuRitives had been found. DR.. John
SON informs Us that he had rather a siDgu-
lar experience with some of the pursuers.
He was called to visit q patient a few
miles from Sun City, and a. he was slow
ly jogging along about twelve o'clock ut
night, he was commanded to halt and
found the polished barrel of a Winchester
poked unplesantly near his nose. Expla-
nations were in order, and he learned the
above facts in the case. The would be
bride is but little more than child, is the
reason the parents object to her marriage

A little daughter of VIM. Doles, aged
about ten years, met with very serious
accident on last Sabbath. She was riding
q fractions pony. when the animal became
scared, and threw her. Her foot remained
in the stirrup, and she was dragged quite
distace. At first it was thought that she
could not recover, but she is getting bet
ter now. We'have heard of a number of
accidents Of this character lately, and if
females would place their riding skirt ov-
er their foot before placing it in the strrup
such accidents as above related, could
not occur. If the rider should be thrown
the skirt would force the foot from the
stirrup. This is worth remembering.
