Household DECORATION.

Philadelphia News.
There are many rare bits of tap
estry which are admired as antiques,
and which are of modern English
manufacture.
A simple method of decoration for
the center OF uninteresting tront-door
panels is found by inserting in geo.
metric patterns, some good-sIzed
brass-headed tacks. If inserted be-
fore the painting, they may be made
of the same color as the door:
A pretty corner cupboard is made
of plain deal, upon which is traced a
blossoms. The background is cover
ed with oak staining, and the pattern
is shaded with sepia. This may ba

st, Louis Republican.
The present administration is Dem
ocratic. 1t shows it's Democracy and
its honesty by Il willingness to pay its
debts. There is no virtue more to
be commended. Our most worthy
and most excellent mugwumpian
friends in new York have been paid
in the reappoint ment of Mr. Pearson.
Every Democrat should feel that a
load is taken from his heart when
that deed was done-a great stone as
it were rolled away from the sepulchre.
Now, when St.Jo is paid and Bro
ther Beecher, and Brother Burchard,
and Brother Conklin, not forgetting
Brother Edmunds, Mr.. Arthur and
Col. Frank Hatton, we believe the
woods will be cleaned for a clear cut
Democratic administration. Then will
the little hills be ready to clap their
hands with joy, and the morning stars
sing together. We shall see the glory
of Israel.

Two Good Remedies for sprains,

From the same cause which renders
necessary such contrivances as the
nose-straightening mask, broken legs,
sprained ankles and wrenched wrists
are produced. The following new
remedies for sprains are said to have
proved efficatious. DR.. Thomas L.
Shearer recommends and practices the
use Of clay, such asis used for making
bricks, free from gravel, dried and
finely powdered in mortar.
This powdered clay is mixed
with water into thick
and moist consistence. This is then
spread on muslin to the depth of a
quarter of an inch, and applied entire
ly around the part. Over this is
placed rubber roller bandage, just
lightly enough to keep the dressing
from shifting, and retain the moisture.
This application should be renewed
every twenty-four hours. It appears,
| by this method of treatment, that the
most severe sprains are cured much
more rapidly and satisfactorily than
by the old system.
The same authority states that pow
dered dried earth sprinkled on the sur.

| just as swiftly as one based on truth
if not a good deal swifter. The above
brand new remarks may serve as 8
not wholly inappropriate preface
to a sensational story that was being
discussed all over Austin yesterday
1t was stated that the syndicate which
had contracted to build the new CAPT.
toll was disinclined to complete the
building, and would quit the under
taking.
A STATESMAN reporter heard the
StUry and at once went to headuuart-
ers to investigate. Capt. w alsh, Commits
sloner of the Land Office, and a mem
Der OF the Capitol Board, was the first
man interviewed.
Reporters there any truth in the
rumor that the Capitol contractors
mean to back out and leave the State
house for other parties to finish.
Capt. Walsh don't think that it is
true. If it is the Capitol Board know
nothing of it. However, some such
talk has reached my ears before.
hardly think it worth credence.
Rep.-If the contractors were to
abandon work altogether what would
be the resultI
Capt. W.-Well, 1 am not
exactly prepared to answer that
question. BY throwing up the
job they would forfeit their bond of
$250,000 in United States bonds. 1
am unwilling to believe, however,
that any such action is contemplated
by them.
Ex-Governor Lubbock, another
member of the board was seen. He
expressed surprise, and thought that
there was no foundation for the re-
port, sit is doubtless only a sensa-
tlonal yarn" remarked Uncle Frank.
But" he went on to say, 81 should
dislike for any such conclusion to
come about. The State has
made a very advantageous
trade in exchanging these
lands for the erection of such Capt.
tol as called for in the contract"
Col. A. A. Babcock, whose partner,
Abner Taylor, is the chief contractor
being at present in the city, the repor
ter wendell his way to the Brunswick
where he found Col. Taylor, and in a
few minutes pleasant conversation
was further assured OF the falsity of
the story.
81 don't know" said Col. Babcock,
how this could have originated,
and I'd be glad for you to
correct it. The Capitol is
going to be built by us, and within
the time specified. You need have no
hesitation in printing that. Here IS
a telegram from my partner, Col.
Taylor, in whi@.. he refers to letting
out the contract for the superstruc-
ture at an early date"
The scribe read it.
Now, when you hear sensational
stories about our receding from the
contract, you will know what weight
to give Them" said he, smilingly, as
he babe the reporter adieu.

DR.. J M. Anders has reached the
conclusion that only Towering plants,
grown in well-lighted places, generate
ozone: and that the most odorous flow
ers produce the greatest quantity.
The ozone attacks the organic matter
of the air, and by oxidation renders
it inert; and DR.. Anders does not
doubt that Towering plants in clear
weather give off enough OF this natural
purifying agent to be OF hygienic no

tributing to the maintenance of a

Of Lakme. The house was full IL
every corner. The Comptesse de Pour
tales sat in stage box, facing M. NJ
/ Dumas and Carvailho, who occupied
baignoire. The orchestra was filed
with critics and musicians. while the
wealth and beauty of Paris adorned
the boxes. The general feel
ing was strongly favorable to Mile
Van Zandt, but it soon became evil
| dent that desperate attempt would
be made to crush her.
A small, but determined gang had
come provided with whistles. As
soon as Lakme's prayer died away,
there was volley Of cat-calls and
Kisses. The manifestations were re-
piled to by counter-manifestations.
The cheers soon drowned the Kisses,
but they began again whenever Mile.
Van Zandt sang, and the theatre at
moments, was more like Clarendon
mad-house than temple of music.
The gentlemen in the boxes shouted
defiance at the gentlemen in the stalls,
and the gentlemen in the parterre de-
fed the gallery. In several cases
words led to blows.
A lady, who afterward told the
Herald correspondent that she was
an actress from the Varieties, was so
beside herself with indignation at the
cruelty shown the prima donna, that

this time the students outside were
chorusing:
lie VOLTA, Carvailho, Obi oh! oh!'
Snatches of their song were waited
in every now and then, and intensi-
fed the frenzy of the eabal. Mile.
Van Zandt's attitude throughout the
ordeal, was daunt1ess. Except for d
moment at the first Kisses, she never
flinched, trembled or broke down.
Her voice was steady AMI purer, per-
haps than il even had Leen, and she
sung the love duo id the first act, so
faultlessly that she was obliged to re-
peat 1t. She was called before the
curtain after every act, the whole au=
dience rising repeatedly and cheering
till 1t was hoarse.
At the close OF the opera she was
twice recalled, and was so overcome
with pleasure and excitement that
she could hardly totter forward on
Gerald's arm to bow her thanks. AS

songs.

Mile. Van Nandt In Paris

New HOrk deralu.
Since z o'clock the Opera Comique
has been surrounded by a yelling mob.
All the petty disturbances which have
occurred at the theatre since Mile.
Marie Van Zandt's return, have been
eclipsed tonight. Foes and friends
fought pitched battle. The victory
remained with the Van Zandtites,
but the result was not decisive
enough to satisfy the proud-spirited
little prima donna. The echos of her
triumph inside the theatre were min
gled with very different echoes from
the street, and the curtain had already
fallen on the last act of 'Lackme,"
when Mile. Van Zandt informed M.
Carvalho that she would sing no more
at the Opera Comique
For three days past, the papers
have been full of excited articles for
and against the American singer and
her manager. The difficulty exper-
fenced in buying tickets for "Lackme'
at the doors of the theatre, had stirred
up much bad feeling and awakened a
suspicion that an attempt would be
made to stifle public opinion. The
supposed endeaVor of M. Carvalho, to
interfere with the public right of
Kissing, had still further embroiled
mataers. Lastly, the manager had
got entangled in u personal quarrel
over s'Lackme," with the Gil Bias, and
that amusing but not over-scrupulous
organ, had vowed Vengeance and form
| ed an offensive and defensive anti
Van Zandt alliance with the studious
youths of the QUARTER Latin.
The studious youths are always
ready for the riot, and announced
that tonight they would rise IN Their
thousands to protest against Mile. Van
Zandt being allowed to sing. The
Gil Bias, on the other hand, proclaim
ed its resolve to hiss her down. So
by dlnner-time, Paris was ready fol
the fray. About seven o'clock .50(
students started for the Opera Com
ique. AS they went they gathered
strength and courage. By the tim,
they reached the theatre their mum
bers were tripled. Finding it impos
sible to get In, they massed them
selves round the house, shouting

bills were also passed.
An open-air meeting was held last evening at
the corner of Fourth and streets, called by
Noble Fisher and J. D. Jost, for the purpose OF
hearing Assemblyman Hazard discuss the bill
concerning mechanics liens, recently intro
duced by him in the Assembly, and which was
refused a third reading by a decided vote i'll that
body u few days since. MIR. Hazard addressed
those assembled. using very vituperous terms
concerning certain members whom he regarded
as responsible for the defeat OF his measure, and
sought to maintain, in an extended harangue,
that the bill ought TO be passed into law,
and those who killed it passed
into ignoble oblivion. His language
was SO Incorporate and his remarks so rambling
and DISCOUNTED as to lose all force aid disgust
such of those present us stopped for moment
while passing.
