To WmTEN FLANNELs.-"How cae

question often asked by housekeepels
whose clothes have been ruined by TIM
bad treatment of careless and inCom-
petent washerwomen. A solution OF
one and one half pounds of white soap,
and two thirds of an ounce of spirits Of
ammonia, dissolved in twelve gallons
Of soft water, will impart beautiful
and lasting wilderness to any flannels
dipped in it, no matter how yellow they
may have been previous to their I'M
mersion. Af.er being we'll stirred for
short time, the articles should be
taken out and washed in clean, cold
water. For washing black or navy
blue linens, the following recipe is said
to be an excellent one. Take two po-
tatoes, wash and peel. then crate into
warm soft water, into which a table.
spoonful of ammonia has been put;
wash the linens in this and rinse them
in cold bluing wafer. They will not
need starch, and should be ironed on
the wrong side. 1t is said that an in
fusion Of hay will preserve the color o.
buff linens, and an infusion of bran
will do the same for brown linens and
prints.
To remove stains from the hands
vinegar, lemon-juice, and pumice stone
are alike equally effective in removing
stains caused by fruits and Vegetables
but they must be used before applying
soap, as that sets the color. A raw pc

The Poet.

! Many good poet has been spoiled
because he could not raise 4 liberal
flowing head of hair and sport Byron
ic collar. The obituary poet is the
most successful diverse writers, and he
needs not the veracity OF, a saint to
flood country newspapers with his tink-
ling bells and rhythmetic warblings
When first a poet starts upon the
downward path leading 70 extinction,
utter and conclusive, he has In his minds
eye various red line editions which
reach the twenty-seyenth thousand. 1t
may be not be out of place to state
right here, that the red lines and the
twenty-seventh thousand are always in
the poets minds eye. While, he is
grubbing hops. holding the pillow handle,
digging gravel, or doing The >menial
work which usually follows the lot of.he
poets elect who were not elected. A
man may aspire, he may pant to be-
come president Of ruling stock board,
but the hart panteth not for the water
brook as the young poet pants for fame
which latter has been painted for by
humanity for ages. The poet domes-
ticated, the unsuccessful poet l mean
is creature worthy ofsympathy. For
be the fact known, that he who has
painted pants on again, though that
selfsame pant be pant In vain; co nse-
quently the coal bill rolls up, and the
grocer and butcher hand in their bills,
and the poet has not gathered any hay
to reclprocate
Moral: Never be a poet.

The case Of Mr.. Thomas Moffet,
indicted by the Grand Jury for in
a%iCting injuries upon Mr.. Il. L. War
uer, was tried before Judge Horrigan
and a jury yesterday and resulted in
an acquittal. 1t will be remembered
that several weeks ago Mr.. Moifet,
during an alteration over a business
matter with MIR. Warner, was hit by
the latter and knocked through a
glass window or door, and that Mr..
Warner had the flesh of his face
rather badly carved. The report that
Mr.. Moffst had been sent to Jail by
Recorder Hidden yesterday was
erroneous. That official fined MOffet
800 aud Warner s., and Moifet's at
torneys appealed the Ease to the Cir.
cult Court, claiming that the 6ue was
excessive and improperly imposed.

The Presidents message has been
%variously commented upon according
to the habitual style, policy or mood
OF men who write editorials. Some
papers discover nothing statesmanlike,
or even good in IT. others say it is
simply a tame routine production
which any clerk could have prepared
with the facts and forms before him;
others affect to see In 1t a concentration
Of wisdom. Really, it is not YER
brilliant or profound, and not without
merit. There are some things in it to
DO commended by thoughtful men Of
all parties. 1t ia not a partisan docu
ment, not weak or trashy. 1t assails
abuses and recommends reforms. All
this In a mild fashion, it is true; yet it
is better even in this diluted form than
not at all. The President virtually ad.
mits that the seal Of condemnation
has been set upon the Republican
party, and appeals to the party to save
itself if it can. The grand old party
is in a bad way; It's only chance is
