Black Birch for Furniture,

Black birch is rapidly coming into
favor. Black birch is close-grained,
handsome wood, and can be easily
stained to resemble walnut exactly. 1t
is just as easy to work, and is suitable
for nearly, if not all, the purposes to
which walnut is at present applied.
Birch is much the same color as cherry,
but the latter wood is now scarce, and
consequently dear. 1t is with difficulty
that cherry wood can be obtained at
fifty dollars thousand feet, while birch
wood can be purchased at any saw-mill
for one dollar per thousand feet. When
properly stained it is almost impossible
to distinguish the difference between it
and walnut, as it is susceptible of a
beautiful polish, equal to any wood now
used in the manufacture Of furniture.

The DandeIion,'

Those who have been pestered to
death by the irrepressible dandelion on
their lawns may now take heart. The
pest will poster them no more. Eastern
markets have begun to utilize them for
greens, so that gardeners cultivate them
for sale. The plant having thus be-
come useful. the bugs will eat it off
above ground, the grub will saw its
roots in two, the sun will parch it to
death, the rains will drown it out, the
rain will thrash it to strips, and the boys
will dig it out and steal it. Thus the
dandelion which has been among the
first of the weeds to coax its way into
favor in the spring by throwing out its
golden blossom as sort of flag of truce
and peace Offering combined, will retire
from the field and the lawn tolthe, Sc
elusion of the guarded greenhouse. 3.

HAS it Paid"

A touching anecdote associated with
the death of President Garfield is told
by the Brooklyn Argus: ,..ae
When Gen. Garfeld's nomination was
talked of, Mrs. Garfield asked Gov.
Jewell if it would pay to leave the
pleasant home in Mentor, and received
in reply: eyes; in a year your husband
hold the highest Office on this whole
globe" On the funeral train Mrs. Gar
field sent for Gov. Jewell, and asked
him. Governor, has it paidp" Again
he replied, "Yes. for that man is thA
best loved man on the globe"

A singular and elegant effect was pro-
duced, the other evening. by gentle
man in the stalls slapping his bald head

We're dlsplcasing to her who should brighten

Whose wife has no influence, COW will

On examining them both he preferred the

Those who would learn how to run a
political circus had better take note Of
General Sherman's style of presiding
and conducting the machine at the army
reunion. Here il Is: ''The meeting

to an officer about 10 riss) General
Hickeniooper moves disappointment of

tee will consist of General Hickenloop
er, Colonel A. and Major B. We must
be speedy. gentlemen, in arranging
these details. General Snith-Did I
see General Smith rise? A voice

either. That list Just read is another
committee, and it will be moved later.
Here's the right one (reads it,. You
see, gentlemen, we get our young staff
officers who have nothing else to do but
to fix these things in advance"
A voice, "Move to adjourn" The
Chair: 80, no use putting that mo-
ton. We must fix these preliminaries
first. / have three more committees
prepared here" And so on. in cheerful
disregard of ordinary parliamentary
practice, the General announces the de-
tails fixed up in advance, puts motions
p.earranged, ignores impromptu mo-
tions and ''runs the Convention till it
gets going" and then allows other
voices to be heard. And it is amusing
| to him thus TO pIay caucus Chairman.

not treat the Aygus with candor aud
fairness on the question of the Custom
House and revenue cutter. rs to the
matter of paying off sailors, we SIMPLY
called attention to the fact that they
oould lawfully demand their wages as
aoou a the vessel arrived at this port,
calling mon business men here 70 see
thaf. the sailors be not taken to other
uorte on account Of ignorance on their
nart a 70 their rights. In the language
81 Patrick Henry, "H that be treason,
maxi ~ most Of it."-Argus, OF July
1Gth.
Lat ~ 80 what our neighbor did say.
and let the reader judge whether or not
ve treated him with candor and fair
ness. In previous issue, the one con-
tanning the matter to which We took ex-
ception, appeared the following:
Il is high time something was done to
avert such Injustice to Port Torcnse'sd as
the paying of Of crews of vessels in such
q way A. to aliow them TO go to other
ports before being DISCHARGED. Last
week two vessels paid Oh their crews
with money out OK a Fort Townsend
safe. and vet the sailors we're not allow
cd 70 land here, but were carried mp the
Sound. Had they been discharged here
those sailors could hare spent at feasf
four-ftihs Of that money IN the torn. Ac-
oording to law, the crews of such vessels
can demand their wages and discharge
here. II they proceed farther at the IN
s.ance of ship-masters through igno-
rance of their rights, some steps ought 10
Be taken to ealightea them. OF conrse the
masters and owners of vessels bound fol
mp Sound ports would keep sailors on
board il possible till their vessels are
moored at their final destinations, ~
order TO ayoid increased eJpense. but oui
business mon should ses To it that f,'od'
which legifimately belongs here should moi
be carried TO other points when such
course might be avoided.
Tho italics are orr own. If one car
be unfair or uncandid, knowing all Tho
circumstances, in denouncing su:h sen
timents a. these, we do not know it
They are simply horrible! Tbs idea il
most wicked one that ships and com
merce should be put TO Inconvenience
delay and expense, and sailors robbie,
and debauched, simply that Port Town
send gin mills may be the richer In con
sequence, and that Christian edito
should give it thought and bold sugges
ton is incomprehensible.
What the sailor does in Port Town
send, when discharged with a pochs.fu
Of money, is told in the argus {also O
tho 15th) when, in answer to Il local cor
respondent, tho editor said the cores
pondent was mistaken in the charactel
of the sailor. GAS u general thing" hs
says, ''the first place the sailor strikes
for after getting on shore is somewhere
to have good solid drunk. He CALI
that having good time" And it is t.
have these good solid DRINKS, We neces
sarily infer, that sailors should not b.
allousd to 90 to other ports before being
discharged, and it is this "trade," taking
"four-6fths" Of poor jacks money, thai
''legitimately" belongs to Port Town
send.
Truly, these sentiments Of our Por
Townsend neighbor are the hardest W,
ever saw proclaimed in print.

An OPPRESSED INDUSTRY.

One of our consuls in Canada has call
cd the attention of the State Depart
ment TO the alarming fact that the Do
minicn sold TO us last year the enormous
sum Of ..one million two hundred thou
sand dollars worth Of eggs, all of which
were laid by the industrious, an.i-repub.
lican hens Of the British Possessions in
North America. The official in question,
who evidently belongs to tho home in
dustry school of patriots, believes that
this heavy importation is a serious
menace to our institutions and grave
injustice to the honest, hard-working
hens Of the Republic. As measure Of
relief he proposes that the egg business
shall be enrolled among the list of the
''infant industries" and that our hens
shall be projected against this ruinous
competition by the imposition OF strin-
gent duty on the pauper-fed chickens Of
the Dominion. This is sound doctrine
from the protection point of view. We
are not allowed TO buy our ships, our
shoes or our clothes where we can get
them cheapest. What good reason is
there Why We should buy our eggs in the
lowest instead Of the highest markets9
The hen industry in the United States 10
. very important one, much more i'm
poEtant than that Of Mr.. John Roach,
and Il 10 simply outrageous that it has
remained unprotected all these years. II
