Polished Woodwork.

The following Is taken from Comstock's new
book, "Interor and Exterior Details" Soft
wood may be turned so smooth as to require
no other polish than that which can be given
by holding flne shavings OF the same wood
against them In the lathe.
For polishing mahogany, walnut and somo
other woods. the following formula Ia given
Dissolve beeswax by heat In spirits of turpen-
tine until the mixture becomes vlscid. Apply
clean cloth, and rub thoroughly with another
flannel or cloth.
Beeswax Is sometimes alone used. For work
In position II must be melted and applied and
rubbed as above. For work In the lathe It can
be applied by friction, the slight amount of
wax melted being sufficient for the polish.
The work should be thoroughly rubbed.
Mahogany may bo polished by rubbing first
with llnseed oil, and then by cloth dipped In
very fine brick dust.
Some hard woods have q natural polish, and
do not require n polishing medium.
A fine gloss can be produced by rubbing with
lnseed oil and then holding shavings or turn.
ings OF tho same material against the work In
the lathe.
very perfect surface can be obtained with
glass paper, which, II followed by hard rub
bing, viii give beautiful lustre. Lustre eau
also be given TO carefully finished surfaces by
applying small quantity Of thinned varnish,
shollac or "nllers" by cloth, and carefully
and thoroughly rubbing.

a Pleasant Entcrtaiument at North
Capitol VI. q. Church.

For several weeks past tho superintendent
and several teachers OF the sabbath-school
connected with North Capitol NJ. Z. Church
have been absent from the city, and those on
GERS and teachers who remained on duty de-
termned to give them q hearty reception on
their return, and TO nuke 1t n success the
services OF the scholars were availed OF, from
the Oldest TO the youngest. Last evening was
the time appointed. Mr.. Lnurenson, the as
sistant superintendent, announced an opening
song Of praise, which was followed with prayer
by Rev: j. wilson, He then, In a few remarks,
Mr.. VIM, Webster tho superlntendent, in
feeling manner expressed his qualification at
the Kindness and love shown him.
Another hymn OF praise was sung, and then
the formation OF tho words that would express
the sentiment OF the school on the return OF
their friends was commenced. on elthor side
OF the pulpit were arranged tho words
"Friends and Home" Seven young ladies'
representing the letters, filed on the PLATFORM

form placed parallel with the wall, aud as

Joining I'm the chorus. Rev. Mr.. Wilson re-
sponded to this on behalf Of the teachers, and
his eloquence was highly appreciated and
found elrect upon the entire audience. At the
conclusion of his speech the school sang

Mesdames Miller, Londerwilk, Fillmore, owens,
Dewey, Misses King and Simpson, with Messrs.
Fisher, Zelgler Hill, White, Setter, teachers OF
the school, did all In their power to make tho
entertainment enjoyable to all.
We are informed by an onicer OF the school
that since July last the number of scholars has
Increased over 80 per cent, and not In one case
can the meaning in sense or term of the word
proselyte be connected with this large In
crease; but by personal work In ferretlng out

The Next German Emperor.

Bernn Cor LONDON Ttlegrpph
II is not every friend of monarchy who ap-
proves those traditions which, as In the house
of Hohcnzollern, exclude the heir apparent
and his consort from participating In nearly
all tho important AFFAIRS OF tho nation, and
render It extremely diflcult for them to de-
velop and maintain such special gifts as they
possess for acquiring the affections OF their
future subjects. The falling health of the En-
press and the Emperor's great age are,
however, at present giving an oppor-
tunity to the Crown Prince and Princess
they are endowed with all those qualities, and
masters In all those arts that insure popu-
larity to princes. In welcoming tho Grown
their first visit to the German court, Prince
Frederick William and our Princess Royal are
dlscharging duty for which they arc omi-
nently fittod and which the cordial relations
subsisting between the imperial families of
Austria and Germany render genuine pleas
ure for all concerned. During the days pre-
Princess Of aermany has has boon roceiv.
ing deputations and visiting several
hospitals and schools Catholic and
Jewish, as we'll as Protestant, and chart.
table establishments, giving proof everywhere
of a thorough and uncommon knowledge of
the art OF nurslng, tho necessity OF ventila-
tlOn and all those branches of hygienlc culture
In which England eXcels the rest OF the world.
In the "Volkskuche" of q ladies' association
she tasted the cheap and good soup made for
the poor, received report from medical men
on the excellent results obtained by sending
pale and sicbly town children into rural re-
treats, or as Germans designate them, holiday
colonies. and complimented the citiZons OF
Breslau on the lberality with which their
charities had been endowed or were kept up.
on another occasion she attired herself In the
"attila" OF her regiment, the Black Hussars,
and defled with her men In front OF the En-
peror, first In slow and then In quick time. On
Thursday last, when the Grown Prince, with
Count Moltko and the latters designated sue

ment at full canter TO an attack upon tho posi-.

that this twas the first time In his life that

Hon. SAMUEL ]. RANDALL was inter
viewed by asun reporter last Sunday even
ing at his home, in Philadelphia, on the
probable policy of the Democratic majority
in the next House. Mr. Randall says,
among other things, that he is ''in favor of
an absolute and entire repeal of the whole
system of internal revenue laws" Now,
while we are not prepared to announce our
Endorsement of this bold and radical propo.
sition of the Democratic leader, we feel
bound to admit that it is al
ready very popular doctrine,
and that its popularity is likely to grow
rather than decrease. As a matter of theory
the tax upon whisky and tobacco is a most
proper and legitimate mode of raising reve-
nue.. If it could be collected as local taxes
are no reason for its abolishment would
exist. The main objection to our internal
revenue system is the fact that its opera
tion involves instIumentalities and pro-
cesses wholly alien to our institutions aud
repugnant to our traditions.
The present depraved and rotten Condi-
tion of the Department of Justice packed
as it is with spies, pimps aud suborners in
all the branches of its socalled detective or
special agency service, is an unavoidable
result of the internal.revenue system. 1t
begins with gaugers to watch distiller5
and inspectors to watch tobacconists. Then
ii must have spies and informers to watch
the gaugers and inspectors.
After these must come another set Of
sneaks and eavesdroppers to watch the
spies and informers, until tho Attorney
General loses his original character of
legal adviser to the President and becomes
sort Of National Pinkerton, surrounded
by men whose fitness for their work
depends upon the depravity of their char
acters and the desperateness of their
capabilities.
These facts form the strongest argument
in favor Of Mr.. Raudalla policy. Late
events have brought them out in strong
relief and have presented their enornity to
the dullest mind with startling force. Mr..
Randall evidently reasons that the system
is doomed anyhow and hastens to take ad-
vantage of his prescience by making party
doctrine of what is really general desire.
This is shrewd and it may prove successful.
