Anti-Blaine Doses.

IF Mr., Blaine would announce what
were s'the various channels in which he
could be useful" magnetism might reveal
him as a philanthropist instead of pirate
of politics.
If Mr.. Blaine could harmonize his effort
to form out a National bank charter to
Fisher and Caldwell, for favors in stocks
and bonds, with an Anglo-Saxon concep-
ton of honesty, magnetism would change
the current of moral thought around the
world.
If Blaine could do away with the conflict
between his denial of ownership OF the
Hooking Valley coal mines and the regis
tered deeds which prove his ownership,
magnetism would be able to erase pen writ
ing, official seals, receipts for dividends and
the oaths of the officials.
If Mr.. Blaine could remove the contra
diction which his denial of the Madigan
circular presents to the fact that he stacked
thousands of them in his house and distri-
buted them furtively, magnetism would be
effectual to relieve him of falsehood and
demogoguery.
If Mr.. Blaine could decently account
for the million which he has neither earned
nor inherited, magnetism would be power
to change bribery to virtue and vote-selllng
to ideal honorableness.
If Mr.. Blaine could maintain his right to
respect, with the evidence that every I'M
clean ana rapacious element in politics is
s'solid'' for him, magnetism would develop
missionary capability far beyond the cred
ulity even Of the four old pastors.
If Mr.. Blaine could exhibit the reason
why any honorable man could fail to resent
such letter as Fisher wrote to him April
Is, 1872, magnetism would be Synonymous
with the meekness which is to be blessed
with the inheritance of the whole earth.
If Mr.. Blaine could disclose upright con
siderations as the basis of his action, which
made the Department of State an asset in
guano syndicate, magnetism would trans
mute pelf into patriotism.
4 If Mr.. Blaine could copyright his recipe
of recovering from sunstroke the moment
a committee of investigation has suspended
its sittings, magnetism would become a
means of gain as well as means of grace.
If Mr.. Blaine could show that he went
on his knees to Mulligan purely to make
his trousers bag, magnetism would be in
valuable to the preying band around every
Congress.
If Mr.. Blaine could supply moral
cause for Mrs. Morrill's lightly bottled
thunder, magnetism would make mimic
Ajax of him in moment.
If Mr.. Blaine could relate the connection
of his 100000 Washington house to his
solicitude for the rights Of the poor man,
magnetism would stand him in as good use
as rope does to man beyond his depth.
If Mr.. Blaine could indicate why he let
innocent American citizens rot in British
dungeons while Secretary of Foreign AT
fairs, and the kinship of that fact to his
present bid for Irish votes, magnetism
would at once rise to the dignity of a mir
acle-working power.-Albany Argus.

Republican Insincerity.

The confirmed insincerity of the radical
party was never more strikingly illustrated
than in it's desperate attempt to make the
tariff appear the paramount and controll-
ing issue in the present canvass. In the
wild efforts of it's leaders to draw OFT the
attention of the people from the corrupt
record of their candidate, the changes are
rung on democratic free traders" "Eng-
lish gold," &c. If ever there was time
when tho tariff question was in allegiance
in this country, it is the present, Tor the
two parties are practically agreed upon
it. The monstrous fact of an accumulating
yearly surplus in the treasury forced the
Republican National Convention to pledge
the party to revision of the tariff and
correction of the inequalities, while the
Democratic Convention makes the same
promise with the additional pleuge that
this revision ''can and must be made
with injury to american industries or labor.
With the two parties in practical accord as
to she tariff or with the advantage, it any,
with the Democracy, how futile the at
tempt of the Blaine organs and speakers to
dwarf and obscure the really vital issues
of the canvass by dragging into it this
settled question. But these transparent
tactics will not succeed; in fact they have
already failed. The people are determined
to have civil service and administrative re-
| form, and, above all, an honest man in the
presidential chair, and in their grand fight
for the accomplishment of these paramount
purposes they will steadily refuse to listen
to discussions of minor or Indifferent ques-
lions.

The Alexandria Gazette says that, the
"grand old party'' mnst have come down
rather low, when, in order to secure sue
cess in Ohio, it had to send boxes of revol-
vers and ammunition there, and distribute
them, as dispatch from Cincinnati says,
among vicious negroes, and the lowest
scoundrels that ever prowled through an
alley or slept in a sewer,- pimps, vagabonds
and pickpockets..''

1t is matter Of record that in the long
years Mr.. Blaine has been in public life,
not enc act of his can e pointed to as done
for the benefit or relief of the laboring
class. He Is monopolist in the highest
sense of the term, has made his fortune
easily, much of it without an honest effort
on his part A schemer and political at
torney for many gigantic corporations, he
does not entertain sympathetic idea with
those who throw the pick upon the various

WaShed-0ut Hair.

There is sort of pallid, chalky com
plexion which the novelists call "washed-
out complexion 1t is CHASTITY enough,
and no mistake. Washed-out, faded, dis.
colored, or parti-colored hair is almost as
repulsive and melancholy. Parker's Hair
Balsam will restore your hair to its
original color, whatever it was; brown, au-
burn, or black. Why wear moss on your
head, when you may easily have lively,
shining hair.

For removing scales from steam boilers
have caustic soda dissolved in the feed
water about an eighth of pound per
horse power, and fed to the boiler each
week, allowing it to remain all day and
then blow off often in the next day. This
will soon remove the scale. After two or
three applications the boiler should be
thoroughly cleaned out, and examine an
giles or corners where deposits might accu-
mulate and clean such deposits out.

A CRITICAL MOMENT.
BY D. L.

Two easy chairs, verandah wide.
A corner hid from the light inside;
Rare roses around
And he holds her hand;
With perfumed zephyrs her cheeks are 1anneo
ALI honeyed words are the only words she
hears.
"Will he tonight? ?" and she hopes and fears.
Then all is still, and old Time is fleet;
And all that she hears is her own heartbeat,
AS the lights go out in deserted halls.
Gently head on shoulder falls,
Gently an arm steals round waist.
A lock and a ringlet are misplaced.
"He'll surely speak, oh that little word?"
Her willing soul with thrill is stirred.
"Are you fond of Goldfish balls?" said he;
ST never attended one" said she.

To destroysred ants take large, coarse
sponge, saturate it with warm water and
press it dry, then sprinkle it over with fine
pulverized sugar, and place it where the
ants are troublesome. They will soon col
lect upon the sponge and get into the cells.
Then dip the sponge into scalding water,
which will kill them. Wash out the sponge
and repeat the process. By this means
you will soon be entirely lid Of them.

WASHING RED DAMAsK.-To wash red
damask table cloth needs careful hand
not to fade it. A large handful of salt should
be thrown into weak, hot suds, and the cloth
should be speedily rubbed out and scald-
ed few.minutes, then run through wiring
er and starched with bought, not foury
starch. This keeps it from soiling as easy
as it would without this precaution Ii
dried out of doors in the shade it should
be brought in as soon as it is dry, or the
sun will help to fade it. With careful
washing these table cloths are very pretty,
as well as great convenience; but nothing
can be more easily ruined by careless wash
ing than there high colored things.

REMEDY FOR NAUsEA.-One of the best
remedies for nausea is acid phosphate.
Put about twenty drops into glass of cold
water, add little sugar, and let the pa
tent take teaspoonful every nine or ten
minutes until relieved. In cases of obsti-
nate nausea apply mustard plaster to the
pit of the stomach, continuing the phos-
phate. Mustard mixed with the white of
an egg will prevent it from blistering the
skin, or few drops of sweet oil rubbed
lightly over the surface of the plaster will
have the same effect.

''CLUBs IS TRUMPs"-THE OLD MANS

''Down she goes" make it spades" etc.
Rightly divining that his boys. in company
with his neighbors, were engaged in his
abomination, game of cards, he secured a
good-sized cudgel, and quietly mounted the
ladder. Just as he stepped upon the NOW
one of the hopefuls asked:
"What's trumps?"
The old gentleman answered, as he laid
about him with the cudgel:
"Clubs is trumps, and it is daddy's deal?'
