Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON May ,, 1SS5.-The en-
ployes in the departments here are
complaining that their minds are in
such a perturbed and distressed condi-
tion that they are incapable OF doing
good work, Their perturbation and
distress is from q fear that the rascals
will pretty soon be turned out. 1t
would be extremely agreeable to them
to have each personal letter from the
president or the cabinet officer in
charge saying in effect: "Well done,
thou good and faithful servant; cOntin-
ne to draw your salary, smoke, drink,
be merry, curse democrats, talk poll
tics, flirt as you have always done dur
ing the alleged working hours Of the
long halcyOn period of republican as
tendency ; the late election was farce,
and the change of a administration was
change of names, nothing more"
But the probability is that large num-
Der will receive in the fatal yellow en-
velope a very differently wOrded mes
sage before the first day of June. In

Ohio.-I keep the largest stock of medi-
cines of any store in Lewis county, with
the exception of drug store at Vance
burg, our county seat, and am selling a
great deal of your PERUNA and MANA
LIN. 1t IS giving the best satisfaction of
any medicine that 1 ever handled. In one
case the constable for the precinct, has
been very sick and low spirited for long
time. For several years he has tried all
the doctors here, and we have some good
ones, and they did him no good. After
much persuasion l sold him two bottles
OF PERUNA and MASALIN. He took half
of the medicine 1 could see 4 great
change in him, and now he is as sound
man apparently as there is in this vicinity,
and he says he is entirely well. lie Is
q number one man and is highly re-
spected He is satisfied that your medi-
cine saved his life, after all the doctors and
all medicines had failed. Being unac-
quainted with you, I refer YOU 10 John

have cheese not quite so aromatic
with the putrid whey stored up in
it, nor quite so singing in taste.

Our gradmothers made nice little
cheese during the hot weather, and
SO turned the milk to good account.
People could eat their cheese, be-
cause it was made right. Some
times we think there is too much
progression. The women folks
could not make our cheese now, and
our clothes, and all the other useful
and economical things our fore
mothers did; because they have so
much house to attend to, and other
things which they think are impor-
tant.
If we could only get such mild
and digestible cheese from the fac
tories we would be willing to excuse
the farmers wives and daughters
fLom making any cheese. Unless
the factories make better cheese,
let's turn on them, and make our
own cheese. The grandmothers
will tell US how, and there is no
doubt but that we can improve on
the cheese offered to Americans. 1t
would be a nice accomplishment,
and one any girl might well be
proud of.
Cheese ought be 1eaten instead of
much meat. 1t is just the thing to

the rights that justice demands be
accorded to both young and old, if
you combine with right judicious
might, never fear for the children
A good pilot rarely runs the ship on

depart from it. 1t requires more

yourself IN his place." and you

There are five supreme judges to
be nominated by the next democrats
ic convention. The republican
will also nominate q ticket. The
men elected will have more to do in
subscribing the interests of the peo-
pie and state, preserving our integ-
rity and guarding the interests and
property of the people, than any
other officers, and their term Of of
fee extends over several years.
The reader may recall many acts OF
our supreme court since the war
that were fraught with stupendous
results. 1t is of primest Importance,
therefore, that we have democrat
ic judges. We now submit the
question: Can the democrats elect
their ticket if they make the com
mission question an issue AGAIN.
Wiilit not jeopardize the ticket? Is
the commission so urgently needed
as to justify the risk of beating the
ticket to secure it? Would not q
radical supreme bench damage the
state immeasurably more than a
commission would benefit it? Will
it be wise to adopt policy that has
brought US to the verge Of defeat Just
at time when such momentous in
terests are pending? We earnestly
beg TO have these thoughts consid-
cred dispassionately now before the
canvass opens. Let the people dis
countenance the man who attempts
to ride into office upon this issue

Land and Water has done a use
full service in pointing out the falls
cy of the widespread belief that
ivy trained againt the walls of a
dwellinghouse is productive Of
damp walls and general unhealthi-
ness. The very opposite of this is
really the case. Ii any one will
carefully examine an ivy-clad wall
after a shower of rain, he will no
tice that while the overlapping
leaves have conducted the water
from point to point until it has
reached the ground, the wall be
meath is perfectly dry and dusty.
More than this, thirsty shoots
which force their way into every
crevice of the structure which will
afford a firm hold, act like suckers
in drawing out any particles of
moisture for their own nourish-
ment. The ivy, in fact, acts like a
great-coat, keeping the house from
wet, and warm into the bargain.
