To Wash Oolored Fabrics.

Black and white cotton or linen dresses
are thought very difficult to cleanse and do
up because the color "runs" and settles in
the white, and the same complaint is made
of stone, slate, brown, or maroon colors.
But by a few precautions and little extra
care in the first washing there need be no
further trouble with any of these colors.
Before washing black and white cotton or
linen dresses. or any of these dark eolors,
first dip them in salt and water. and hang in
a shady place to dry. Two coffee cups of
salt to eight or ten quarts of cold water Is
the proper proportion. When dry put them

The Star Route Trials.

Washington, s. In the star route
case this morning, Davidge said the de-
tense had DO motion TO make in respect
to The array, and was willing 10 begin
the argument as to the number OF per-
emptory challenges to which the defense
was entitled A discussion ensued as to
the time OF argument, and Of its decision,
Judge Wylle intimsting that his mind
was td0lttG TeSG on the point that be de-
sired enlightenment from re-argunent
Dut would not announce his decision IN
til the question propdrly arose. Counsel
for the defense insisted that it would be
unfair TO require them 10 proceed in the
dark IN a matter of such vital interest.
One statute gave the defense four chal-
lenges, and none to the government; an
other gave thres to the government and
three 10 the defendants. The question
arose whether the several defendants
should be regarded SIS one party. It was
complicated state Of affairs. Now,
asked the judge. how many challenges
are they entitled? He decided last year,
and until that decision was overruIed, it
stood as lew, and counsel for the defense
are bound to swear 'twss law.
An hours colloquy ensued, the Judge
still refusing to give decision until the
preomptory challenges began. Argu-
ment then began on the subjec! by Mer-
rick for the prosecution.

The Nicaragua Canal BlsI.

New York, 8.-The Graphic prints the
following from Washington: Friends of
the Niearagus Canal bill have begun to
press their measure before Congress.
Captain Mercy, Of San Francisco, who
represents the Pacific Coast interests ia
the matter is here, aud feels confident the
bill will pass. He says Blaine's declara-
ton OF opposition to it will not hurt the
measure IN any way, because there is an
anImus on what he says, which is appar-
ent. 1t is understood tbs state depart
ment regards it as wise policy TO have
such q bill as is now pending, pass.
Congress is not asked for money as q
guarantee of bonds, but the bill pro-
vides that this government shall insure 8
profit of per cent. upon the capital
stock. not to exceed $75, 600, 600, in return
for which the canal company binds itself
to allow free passage of American war
vessels and mails for 200 years. They
concede also a limit of charges upon
shipping wheat which shall pass through
the csaRl. Outside the circles most d.
rectly interested in the canal project.
there is little confidence in the passage of
the bill at this session.
The House COMMITTEES on foreign af-
fairs. this morning authorized the chair
man to request the House to fix date for
consideration Of the Nicaragua Canal,
and the VenaZulan claims bill.

yesterday He has been sent ous by his
government to study the American Gus
tom house systems, and especially the
warehouse methods Of holding bonded
goods. He was given complete ssts Of
blanks, and offered every courtesy. He
will spend week studying the custom
house methods. One old clerk promised
to give him thorough insight into the
political assessments, as practiced in the
American custom houses. The present
customs service of China is governed
almost entirely by special treaties, and
these have become so numerous that all
sorts Of errors are arising under them.

Why Thugs Go UD.

If you will multiply $4,000 and
Sl0, 900 by 2H, you would have the re-
suit $4,000, $4,000. So the grand
capitals OF The Louisiana State Lottery
have gone along with the increase OF
cost of whole tickets for the monthly
drawings, which has gone from two
dollars to five dollars apiece. A single
dollar sent to M. A. Dauphin, New
Orleans, La, will have the same chance
as before of getting $4,000. Two dol
lars sent may bring you $4,000; but
five dollars sent may bring you $75, 900
One reason for the change was the fact
that the managers could never supply
the demand, to the vexation of it's reg
ular patrons, Fer further Information
write to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans,

The ROdX OF GnItenn.

WASHINGTON, July THE fight O.
the doctors over the autopsy of the as
sassin Guiteau, is disgusting the bettel
class of the medical profession here
At the same time the opinion is quite
general that DIR. Lamb played SHARP
game on the civil surgeons, and en-.
deavored in the interest of the Medical
Museum to gain all the credit that
could be had by the autopsy. There is
a constant. fight between some of the
local physicians and some of those of
the regular army stationed here, and
the latter sometimes resort to means
and measures in their profession which
would not be tolerated in other pur.
suits.
There is general idea that it would
he a sensible thing to do to take the re-
mains of Guiteau and cremate them,
and scatter the ashes to the four winds
of Heaven, and thus put an end to
what bids fair to be An interminable
quarrel among the doctors over profes.
sional etiquette, which will have the
effect to'keep Guiteau's name before
the public for months to come.

Hardening the Body

A young man was an earnest adYo
cate Of a theory that the human body
can accommodate itself to any tempera
ture in which it may be placed. One
winter he determined to harden him
self by wearing no covering on his
ears; they were badly frozen on very
cold day, and were tender for several
years. he grew wise and abandoned
the hardening process. A young wo-
man heard an eloquent lecture on the
importance of fresh air in chambers at
night. The lecturer said there was no
danger from a window slightly opened;
the body would soon harden itself 80
as to resist the effect of the exposure.
She tried the experiment one cold night
and caught a bad cold, which lasted
the entire winter.
She lost faith in hardening against
cold. A young mother maintained
that children ought not to be brought
up too tenderly. Arms and legs ought
TO be hardened in early years, and not
be made tender by warm coverings in
winter. She lost her two children by
Group and pneumonia, induced, as the
physician said, by insufficient cloth
ing. She gave up the attempt to harden
che others.
The best wpy to harden the body is
to protect it well from extremes both Of
cold and heat, and build up strong
constitution by good food, good sleep
and good exercises. The Scotch High
anders, with their bare legs, are VIC
Tins of Rheumatism.

The FrenCh Lottery,

1t is announced that the French Gov
ernment has authorized another Lot
terry, so pressing has been the demand
for it on the part Of the people. The
previous one excited unbounded enthu.
siasm among all classes, and the wide
distribution of the numerous prizes
gave all ranks taste of the satisfaction
to be had in the easily acquired gains
of the Lottery.
Yet neither the French nor any other
European or American scheme com.
pares in liberality with the new one
of the long established Louisiana State
Lottery Company set forth at length in
another column of this paper, to be
drawn on the 11th of July inst, and
monthly thereafter, under the sole di.
rection of Generals Beauregard and
EARLY. IT. will be seen that in this
scheme %5, 900 is given on a S. ticket
constituting it the largest offer for that
price ever presented.
That this company will perform all
1t promises is now well established in
the public mind. The whole scheme
will be found interesting reading and
bear careful analysis.
