TIE COUNTY STATEMENT.-We
call the attention Of our readers to the
annual county statemen tin the form
of Supplement TO t he JOURNAL. It
should be carefully examined by every
taxpayer and citizen, compared with
former statements and preserved for
future reference.
The statement bears examination.
giving a full and detailed account of all
the resources from whatever source,
and all the expenditures for whatever
purpose. Everything is given in de-
tails as it should be.
But what concerns our citizens the
most is The bala nee sheet, under the
heading of Financial Statement-the
last item Of the account. 1t will be
seen that the entire Indebtedness Of the
county amounts to $40, $50. 50, while the
nominal assets sum up $J3, 3,l1LS2.
leaving balance in favor of the county
of $3560.63. Just how much of these
|
assets are worthless the statement
does not say. There may be consider
able that is rot cOllectablc, diminishing
the ass etts to that extent. An examina-
tiop of tie list Of outstanding taxes
may throw some light on this matter.
The am cunts outstanding before the
year 1881 is comparatively small, only
$238j.92.
Another gratifying feature of the
statement is the amount OF debts paid
during the year, $50, 765. This is a.
bout the same reduction that was made
last year, and speaks better than any
words of praise we could give of the
excellent management of our county
finances, by our present board Of COM
miSsioners.

A Hint to Young Women.

As rule. grown up girls have more
spare time than is good for them. Many
of the occupations they are accustomed
to look on rs the tolls of their lives
fancy work, paying visits, practicing,
etc.-are, as many married women and
not few girls could tell them, little
more than healthful and pleasant recre-
ations. If any girl would but keep an
account of her time for a week, she
would be startled to find how much of
it, if not absolutely lost, is frittered
awaW. She would discover that one or
two hours reading would hardly inter-
fere, if properly arranged as to time,
with any of her amusements and Occu-
pations, and would be simply invalua-
bic in giving ballast to her mind, as
would an hour day devoted to the con-
quest of modern or an ancient Ian
guage, or to the study of mathematics.
Let a girl, even if she cannot find
time for self-improvement, give up nov
ell reading for a time. She will find the
deprivation will be far less than she
would have imagined, and may console
herself by rejecting that the taste for
novel reading is eaily regained, while
the appetite for graver study cannot be
found if once really lost Girls who love
good poetry will be astonished at how
much they can get by heart by learning
one or two verses every morning while
dressing, and to find how infinite a
treasure, through their whole lives, will
be those 'jewels, which on the stretched
forefinger eff all time, sparkle forever"
and which they have made their own by
committing to memory.

Paints.

1t is sometimes convenient to do
painting ones self, or have it done un.
der ones own personal supervision. The
Journal of Chemistry gives the follow
ing rules for mixing simple pigments
to produce compound colors, which it
considers reliable. The first named
color is the principal in each combina-
tion, the others following in the order
of their Importance, the quantity of
each to be determined by trial. Good
boiled oil dries quickest and makes the
best and glossiest body:
Buff-Mix white, yellow ochre, and
red.
Chestnut Red. black, and yellow.
Clar et-Red, UNI Der, and black.
Copper-Red, yellow, and black.
Dove--White, vermillion, blue, and
yellow.
Dfab-W White, yellow ocher, led, and
black.
Fawn-Wbite, yellow, and red.
Flesh-White, yellow vchre, and ver-
million.
French gray-White, Prussian blue,
and lake.
Gray--White lead, black.
Gold-White, stone ochre, and red.
Green bronZe-ChI ONO green, black,
and yellow.
Olive Yellow, blue, black and white.
Orange-Yellowa aud red.
Peach-White and vermillion.
Pink White, vermill;on, and lake.
Purple with more red and
white.
Violet-Red, blue, and white.
Have box of convenient size in
which to keep an assortment of paints
and on the inside of the lid paste the
above directions, and you are ready for
business at any time. The brushes
when not in use should be kept in pot
Of water to keep them from drying up.
A good brush well cared for will last
many years, and grow better with use.
If not thus cared for, few months will
ruin it entirely.

A CURIOUS case came to the surface a
few days ago in Washington City, when
two young Snowman were arrested for
cruelty to animals. They were exhibit
ing d living headesS rooster, which has
been shown as Il cusiusity for nearly d
year in Virginia. The agent of the
society claimed that it was clear case
of cruelty. The young showmen, how
ever, maintained that the ROSTERS head
had been chopped off in the ordinary
way, but that it was noticed that it did
not die, and they had nursed it so well
it had continued to live. Food aud wa
ter were administered regularly four
times "a day, and they said the chicken
grew fat under the treatment. They
admitted that they exhibited the great
wonder for gain. but claimed incidental
ly that it was in the interest of science.
The Court imposed fine of $50, but
when the society suggested the killing
of the mutilated fowl it was met with
a notice from the attorney of defendants
that the curiosity was valued at $500,
and that amount would be demanded in
the event the rooster was destroyed.
The whole case will now be tried upon
the testimony of experts.

ABOUT GRANT.
His Financial COnditiOn-Interest in
the Political Contest This Year.

His Financial C0nditiOn-Interest in
the Political Contest This Year.
One of General Grants Washington
friends, who has recently returned from
New York, says the ex-President will
probably be confined to his bed for some
time, the fall having caused a lesion of a
muscle in his hip. This friend says the
General is doing much better financially
than public reports give him credit for.
He has not been a speculator upon the
street for over a year. He is now one
Of the largest stockholders in the banking
and brokerage house of Ward. Grant &
Co. He has had no intimate relations
with Mr. Gould for over a year, and
some people go so far as to say that ne
and Mr.. Gould aIe not so friendly as they
were before the general met with the
severe reverSes he encountered year or
mole ago. AT one time the ex-President
was seriously embarrassed financially.
His friends rallied about him, however,
and extricated him from his embarass-
ment, so that he had enough left to in
vest with the firm mentioned above.
This establishment is doing well and the
General is now in easy circumstances
and will PROBABLY continue so, as he has
foresworn general speculation. He is
very much interested in the coming po-
litical canYass and it is probable he will
take quite an active part. 1t can be said
officially that he is not in any sense a
candidate, and that be will under no
circumstances permit his name to be
used in the Convention. He will not
support President Arthur, lie is strong
ly opposed to his denomination and does
not think he could he elected if nomin.
ated. He is at present inclined to be
very friendly to General Logan. Their
difference on the Fitz John Porter qups-
tion has never resulted in any personal
feeling between them. Grant iS very
grateful for the gallant fight Logan
made for him at the last Chicago Con-
ventioh, and will do what he can to re-
pay him..

For the Family Scrap-BOOk.

Never put pickles in jar that has
had lard in it.
Roasted coffee is one of the most pow
erful disinfectants.
Save your cold tea; it is excellent for
cleaning grained wood.
Wild mint scattered about the house
Will rid it of rats and mice.
A little sweet oil and beeswax rubbed
on mahogany polishes it up beautifully.
Sandpaper will whiten ivory knife
handles that may have become yellow
with use or age.
The unpleasant odor left in the breath
after eating onions is entirely removed
by cup of strong coffee.
Flowers kept in a warm room should
be watered with tepid water. Very cold
water is apt to freeze the roots.
Cream cures sunburn on some COM
plexiOns, lemon juice is best on others,
and cold water suits still others best.
Paint spots may be removed from any
kind of clothing by saturating With
equal parts OF Iurpentine and spirits of
ammonia.
If you wish to pour boiling hot liquid
into glass jar or tumbler it can be
safeiy done by putting spoon in the
dish before you pour.
A dish or vase of fresh water should
be kept in every room where there is a
ire, especially an open fire. The water
absOrbs the gas arising from the coal
and other impurities in the air.
Steel knives which are not in general
use may be kept from rusting if they
are dipped in a strong solution of soda
-one part water to four of soda; then
wipe dry, roll in flannel and keep in u
place.
When one has a fever, aud the hair is
falling off. take teacup of sage, steep
it in quart of soft water, strain it off
into a tight bottle. Sponge the head
with the tea frequently, wetting the
roots of the hair.
\ slightly damp cloth rubbed over a
dusty carpet brightens it wonderfully,
and gathers all the dust. This is an ex-
cellent way to cleanse the floor of an in
valid's room, where noise and dust are
Objectionable.
If a lady has book-rack or table she
wishes to varnish, first put on coat OF
linseed oil, and then apply the shellac.
The oil SINKS into the pores Of the wood
and shows the grain. Pine, however,
will not absorb it.
Flowers may be kept very fresh over
night il they are excluded entirely from
the air. To do this, wet them thoroughly,
put in damp box, and cover with wet
raw cotton OF wet newspaper. then place
in cold spot.
Stale buns may be made to taste as
nicely as when fresh, if they are dipped
for moment sr so in cJld water and
then put in a hot oven for i've or ten
minutes. They viii turn out AS light
and crisp as when first baked.
One of the best ways to cure sore
throat is as follows: Wiring cloth out
of salt and cold water. and keeping it
quite wes bind tightly about the ueck.
Cover this with dry cloth. 1t is best
to use this remedy in the night.

THERE is the infant kiss. The tiny
lips, and little, passionless face Is nodded
into smiles by kiss-the first lesson In
the language of life-aud as it rests in
the arms that are made of tenderness,
and pillowed on mothers bosom, who
shall fathom the deep, earnest love and
proud hope of mothers kiss? And
when, too pure for earth, the little spirit
wings it way 10 the somewhere un-
known land, does it not seem as if her
very life would go out with the last sad
kiss to the pulseless clay? Should the
infant be spared to be her Stay in the
decline of life, "mOtheiS 5 last kiss" will
be a spell to keep the school boy in the
right path when other home influences
are forgotten or fed. And, in later years,
"mother's last kiss" may prove the sal
vation of many a man whose lips have
long been sullied and defiled by impuri-
ty. Though its influence may slumber,
it can never be effaced, and through
good or ill the mem Dry of that kiss will
continue until he sleeps to wake no
more.
