thank you for your clean insight into the
heart Of society, and your true friendship
for the Dumps family. 1T was not for me
to understand, what seemed such palpa-
bic truths to you,
My letter in THE BULLETIN was scarcely
dry before Daniel and received pressing
invitation TO dinner at Mrs. Is; and We
never were invited there before. Zcphan-
ial and Johnny were invited to juvenile
party across the street next evening, and
Sarah was put on n committee to solicit
money for prominent society.
In a day or two snowy young man, in
a silk hat, desired LOUISA to accompany
him to the Cooking Clubs last party, and a
firm in town sent Augustus Wimpe a tin
rattle.
On the following Friday, Daniel Webster
said piece at school, and was admnng.

education; said board, avowing he'd be a
lawyer if he kept improving Poor little

in store for mm)

some literary exercises, Though my whole
experience in that line is embodied in my
letter TO yon) and Monday night my
daughters were screnaded,
Mr. Dumps was waited on by commit

him for temperance mayor, In the after
noon another committee called
and desired him to allow the
whisky ring to announce him as
their candidate. Mr.. Dumps is bcwlldcred

|. Battle the corn with strong borax
water; then shave it closely, but be-
careful not to make it bleed. Place
over the corn a white felt corn plaster,
and wear it constantly until the corn
has disappeared. Every night and
morning wet the small cavity over the
corn (and in the pIaster) with little
boraX water, or, if preferable, the pulp
Of lemon. The corn plaster can be
procured at any druggists. 2. Keep
the feet clean by frequent additions
with warm water, and wear easy, soft
boots or shoes. Without the latter
precaution, corns will generally return
even after they appear to have been
perfectly removed. 3. After soaking tho
feet in warm water for few minutes,
pare the corns as close as possible with
a sharp knife, taking care not to make
them bleed, Place upon the part af-
fected, a small, circular piece of leather
or buckskin, spread with some emoll-
lent plaster, aud having hole in the
center corresponding to the size of the
corns. They may now be touched with
nitric acid, by means of q small glass
rod or wood toothpick, due care being
taken not to allow the liquid to come
in contact with the neighboring parts
Repeat this process daily until the Of
fender be sufficiently softened to admit
of removal.

If you knew of the awful carvings on

A Brighton, England, stationer, we
are told, took u fancy for dressing his
show window with piles Of writing pa
per, rising gradually from the largest to
the smallest size in use; and, TO finish
his pyramids off nicely, lac cut cards to
bring them to n point Taking these
cards for dimnutiye note paper, lady
customers were continually wanting
some of "that lovely little paper and
the stationcr found it advantageous to
cut paper to the desired pattern. As
there was no space for addressing the
notelcts after they were folded, he, af-
ter much thought, invented the envcI-
opc, which he cut by the aid of metal
plates made for the purpose. The. sale
increased so rapidly that he was unable
to produce the envelopes fast enough;
so he commissioned II dozen houses to
make them for him, and thus set going
an important branch of the mannfac-
turing stationery trade

also by having men leave after they
have learned enough to begin to be USE

thing like the former system, only the
term of service is not more than three
or four years, instead OF seven, and APP
plications come in by scores. The
men sign contract to stay to the end
Of the term, and the company will teach
them the different branches of the bust
ness, so that when they 60 out they
will be masters of the trade, instead OF
knowing how to run but one machine,
or to do but one particular kind of
work. The company keeps 10 cents a
day from their pay until it amounts to
800. which is given to them at the end
of the apprenticeship.

o'clock this evening, Just at tho close of
the Garfield memorial exercises, the city
was SHOOK to its very center by terrific
explosion. Instantly great volume OF
smoke was seen to nsce nd in the south
western part of the city, which rose like
n pail heavcnward. Investigation OF the
cause OF the explosion disclosed the fact
that on Saturday last carload of gum
powder, billed common blasting powder,
reached here over the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific railroad, billed to j. o.
Reynolds, Denver, Col. The Union
Pacific company, however, refused to
receive the dangerous freight, and the
cur was returned to the railroad yard,
where it exploded with fearful force this
evening. The concussion demolished
the company's round-houfe and repair
shops, brick, and the fre,ght-honse,
frame. besides forty or fifty freight cars
The explosion also dug hole in the
ground fifteen feet deep and forty five
feet in diameter. Large windows in all
parts Of the city we're shattered tc

The remains of President Garfield were
placed in vault at Mrs. Gartield's re-
quest, as did not think there was sutli-
cient time to prepare the grave for in
terment. Th dais supporting the coffin
in the vault is covered with velvet,
trimmed with black broadcioth and deep
black fringe in the background. Over
the head OF the coffin is hung large
floral wreath sent by the ladies of Du
buqu To-, to Mrs. Garfield. The puth-
way nom the carriages into the van t
was covered with cedar neatly sewed to.
gether. On this YVES scattered
flowers, immortellcs and tube roses. AT
the entrance of the vault was spread a
carpet covered With white flowers, this
covered with q canopy of deep black
broadcloth. just outside the vault is
cross OF elegant white flowers with the
motto: "D.ad but not forgotten" 1t
was from the Bolivian delegation. At
Mrs. Garfield's suggestion the casket will
finally be closed in an iron cage. then a
cement wall built around this of sufli-
cient strengthi to resist all attempts to
remove his body, and of sufficient dimen.
sions to form foundation for the pro.
posed monument.

Rockwell Resigns,

Washington, Sept. sS.-Army officers
say that Col. Rockwell retires from the
position of superintendent of public
buildings and grounds because of the
showing made by Gen. Drum, adjutant
general of the army, that the position
was not legally authorized, and had
sprung up under the preceding admin
istration through neglect to comply
with the law. Judge Advocate General
Swain overrules this decision, but there
was much feeling over it. and particu-
larly because Rockwell was promoted
over the heads of older servants in the
army. The case would have been
brought to the notice Of the president
had not Rockwell resigned. tits believ.
ed Swain will resign his commission in
the army in which he ranks as brigadicr
general, and gets pay of $500 with
allowances.
