Senator Frye at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Press, in introducing
its report of Senator Frye's speech at the
New England dinner in Philadelphia,
says
Mr.. Rollins turned toward Senator
Frye, of Maine, and said:
For many years the representatives OF
that State in both branches of cur ma
tional Congress have been such as to give
the State great weight in national affairs.
Mr.. Blaine, "the man from Maine,'

served we'll that State-both States-all
the States-tirst in the House-then in
the Senate-and when he left the Senate
for that high office which he has graced
so much and has just laid down, it was a
great honor to be chosen his successor,
but the man elected had earlier and
greater hOn0rs, in this that his long
service in the House had been so brill
liant and successful that no other man
but he was really thought Of He is

inheritance as we'll as invitation. have
the honor to introduce Senator Frye, of
Maine.
The Senator from Maine, dignifed,
handsome man of medium height, with a
gray moustache and hair slightly silvered,
arose and was greeted with long and con-
tinued applause. His ringing voice and
clear enunciation could be distinctly
heard in every part of the room. A hush

Household PerlIs.

Under this head the Boston journal of
Chemistry names several dangerous sub
stances which lind their way into house
holds. There are two or three volatile
liquids used in families which are partic-
ularly dangerous, and must be employed,
if at all, with special caie.
Benzine. ether and strong ammonia,
constitute this class Of agents. The
two tirst-named liquids are employed in
cleansing gloves and wearing apparel,
and in removing oil stains from carpets,
cartains, etc. The liquids are highly
volatile, and flash into vapor as soon as
the cork of the phlal containing them
is removed. Their yapors are very conl-
busuble, and will intlime at long dis
tances from ignted candles or gas flames
consequently they should never be used
in the evening, when the house is lighted
Explosions of a very dangerous nature
will occur if the vapor OF these liquids IS
permitted to escape into the room in con
siderable quantity In view OF the great
hazard of handling these liquids, cautious
hOusekeepcrs will not allow them to be
brought into their dwellings, and this
course is commendaOle
As regards ammonia. or water OF AIN
monia, it is a very powerful agent, espe
cially the stronger kinds sold by drug
gistS. An accident in its use has recent
ly come under our notice in which a Young
lady lost her life from taking 4 few drops
through mistake. Breathing the gas
under certain circumstances causes harm
70 the Lungs and membranes of the mouth
and nose. 1t is an agent much used at
,he present time for cieansing purposes
and it is unObectionabe if proper care is
used in its employment. The phials
holding it should be kept apart from 9th
CTS containing medicines, etc. and rub
oer shoppers to the phials should be used.
OXalic acid is considerably employed
in families for cleaning brass and copper
utensils. This substance is highly pois-
onous, and must be kept and used with
great caution. In crystalline structure
ii closely resembles sulpbate Of magnesia
OF EPSON salts, and therefore frequent
mistakes are made and lives lost.
Every agent which goes into families
among inexperienced persons, should be
kept in a safe place. labelled properly
and used with care

Golden Rules for Making Butter.

In closing d private letter, Mr.. James

The reason for this IS easily explained: !:

remove the cream without taking off some

and f card is made up with cream into

The Correspono ence Between the President
and MIR. Blame.

WASHINGTON, Dec. .. To correct
certain misstatements that have been
made in regard to Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal
from the Cabinet, the following has been
furnished for publication On the 22d
day Of September, Immediately after
President Arthur had taken the oath OF
office, administered by Chief Justice Of
the United States, full meeting of the
Cabinet was held in the Vice Presidents
room, in the Capitol. At this meeting
every member of the Cabinet rendered
his resignation in writing On receiving
the several letters President Arthur said
it would be agreeable to him to have the
members remain in their positions until
after the regular meeting Of Congress in
December. Three weeks afterwards Mr.
Blaine addressed the following letter to
the President:
WAsHINGToN, Oct l3, 1881

Yours very respectfully,
(Signed) JAMES Il BLAINE
In a personal interview following this
letter the President repeated his request
that Mr.. Blaine should remain until De
cember. There was never at any time
the slightest misunderstanding between
the President and Mr.. Blaine about the
latter's retirement, and their personal re
latons continue, as they always have
been, friendly and cordial.

The reason, says contemporary that
the sweet potato keeps so poorly is be
cause, IN place Of the starch principle in
the common potato, it contains d large
percentage of soluble sugar. The proba-
bic reason is that the sweet potato will
not stand damp atmosphere. When
kept warm and dry it keeps perfectly.
