NJ. Blondeau gives the following re-
'cipe for purifying and bleaching sponges
The sponges are first washed in tepid
water, and then in hydrochloric acid,
which frees the pores from the carbonate
of lime. To bleach them they are i'm
mersed for twenty-four hours in solu-
rtion composed of five parts of hydro
.chloric acid to 100 parts of water, with
the addition of six pints of hyposulphate
of soda. In this way sponges may be
Tbleached more effectually and rapidly
than with sulphurous acid. "''

is believed that the Irish executive

TIE constitution of Georgia gives the
legislature power ito pass laws from time
to time to regulate passenger and freight
tariffs" Two years ago tho legislature
availed itself of this power by passing a
law comforting the authority to fix the rates
upon board of three commissioners. The
commissioners have undertaken to fix the
rates, but before putting their schedule in.
to operation, it was thought best to test the
conshtutionality Of the law; and to that
end a case was made up into which the
companies put the best legal talent that
could be secured. The strongest point
made against the law was that while the
constitution conferred the power to fix tar
ifs upon the Legislature, the delegating Of
these powers to a commission was not con-
stitutional. Judge Woods of the United
States supreme court, when in the circuit
court, held that enacting law empowering
commissioners to make rates was not del
egating Of its legislative powers to others
by the Legislature and was within the fair
construction of the constitutional mandate
that the legislature shall pass laws from
time to time TO regulate freight and pas
senger tariffs: This decision is virtually in
accordance with the decision Of the su-
preme, court Of the United States, which,
by the ways railroad attorneys have not yet
ncauiesced in as the law Of the land. They
still retain the hope that the composition
Of that court may be changed and the FORM
er decision reversed,

than at any time before in several weeks. The

Saturday opened disoouragingly, but later
the president became more comfortable and
partook of food. 1t was fully determined that
the removal to Long Branch should be made
ut the earliest practicable moment. 49,.
On Sunday the president vomited and was
not so well. Physicians think he is not gaining
ground, if he is not losing.

Gen. Robert E. Lees Death.

The Philadelphia Press publishes III IN :
teresting private letter from the late Mary
Gusts Lee, containing an account OF 1er
husbands death as follows:
That Wednesday night, at Z: 80 clocSse-.
after day every moment of which had 6ee:r
| filed with care for others and the closing;
hours to the vestry meeting of the church,
my husband came in. We had been waiting
for him, snd remarked: You have zept
US waiting long time. Where have You
been?" He did not repy and stood Up
as if to say grace, but no sound prOcccdeG
from his lips and he sat down in his chair
perfectly upright aad with sublime look
Of resignation on his countenance, but did
not attempt to reply to our inquiries. That
look was never to be forgotten, and I have no
doubt that he felt then his hour had come,
although he submitted to the doctors, who
were Immediately summoned and had not
even reached their homes from the same
vestry meeting. His whole demeanor
duridg his illness showed one who had taken
leave of earth.
He rarely attempted to speak except in
his dreams, and then he wanders d to those
dreadful battle fields. Once, wben-urRed
him to take some medicine, which he always
took with reluctance, he looked at her and
said: "Tis no use," but afterwards took
doctor said: "You must soon get out and,
ride your favorite gray" He shook his head
emphatical]y and looked upward.
He slept great deal, but knew US all and.
greeted us with kindly pressure ofthe
hand, loving to have us around him. For
the last forty ght hours he seemed quite
insensible of our presence, breathed heavily
and at last quietly sunk to rest with one
deep drawn sigh.

Husbands aud Wives in Summer.

From the Now York Sun.
One of the most noticeable things about
our summer watering place life is the pres
ence of So large number Of wives upat-
tended by their husbands. The great ma
jority of the married women at some OF the
fashionable resorts either see their Il I'd at
only long intervals or for a. day or two of
the week merely. The man may put in an
appearance on Saturday, but he is likely 10
depart by an early train on Monday, or he
may. make much rarer visits; yet the wits is
absent from town for perhaps two months,
and in many cases from July to October.
The entire unconcern which Amer
lean married couples show in regard to
this matter of long separations, the AMIGA
bleterms on which they part, no ripple ap-
parently disturbing the surface of their
conjugal life, are the wonder of many for
eign observers. There are in Parie and
other places of continental Europe large
colonies Of American wives in sound health
Who have put the ocean between them
selves aud their lords, and yet the separated
pairs seem to be on the best Of terms The
Europeans cannot understand such Ameri-
can why's. They marvel that American hus
bands are SO accommodating.

making fifteen in all. Wsrk has been com

The changes which have ia ken place in
our prolific wheat states are beginning to
be revealed in California, as we'll as in some
portions of the northwest east of the noun
tains. The San Francisco Bulletin SAYS
that wheat farms, which have been produc-
ing successive crops for quarter of a GEN.
tury or moro, show neatly as low average as
those Of Illinois. where, indeed, the soil
was much richer. The owner of small
farm in California which has been success
sivoly cropped for wheat many years does
not expect now to..make more than nominal
profit from wheat growing. In England
such soils are renewed, or, rather, they are
kept up to the highest condition of produc-
ton by the iberl use of fertilizers. In
the United States only very small area of
wheat growing land is ever renewed, and in
the western and Pacific Ecoast states hardly
Zone at all. Land is so cheap and there is
such an immense area not yet brought un.
der cultivation that, when wheat grove,
has exhausted his land for wheat he either
plants other crops or moves on, seeking
new land for his favorite cereal.
