At all well-arranged dinners the menu
OF the dinner is placed at each cover. %
tnat there is no confusion. Cards are
specially prepared for the purpose. The
menu card is either oblong or square, and
sometimes it folds in two like a book.
one side is blank, merely enoircled with
an artistic frame on which the menu i 10
be written; the other side is delicately col
ored and painted with graceful SPRAYS Of
flowers and other artistic designs. China
ones are also used. These have the advan.
tage of being washed off after use and can
be used indefinitely. Great latitude IS al-
lowed with these cards, some of them being
veritable works of art upon satin, plush
and velvet.
The fashion, which was carried to excess
of presenting the guests with bonbons and
gifts to take away has become almost obso-
lete, though at swell lunches and dinners
flowers are laid upon the ladies' plates,
more or less handsome according to the
taste and desire of the hostess. Tables are
shaded; if the flowers in the center are pale
pink, those at either end are of deep red,
while the bouquets of long stemmed roses
for the ladies are Of the light shade, tied
with bows Of ribbon of the darker color,
one of the long, flowing ends having the
name of the recipient on it in gilt letters.
Buttonierres for the gentlemen are also
placed at each plate.

To Polish Marble-It sometimes han
pens that the cabinet maker has table TOP
of marble to remount which is scratched
and requires repolishing. The following
is the process used by the mason: With
piece of sandstone, with very fine grit,
rub the slab backward and forward, using
very fine sand and water, till the marble
appears equally rough, and not in
scratches; next use finer stone and finer
sand, till its surface appears equally gone
over; then with fine emery powder and
pirce of felt or old hat wrapped around a
weight, rub till all the marks left by the
former process are worked out and it
appears with comparative gloss on its
surface. Afterward, finish the polish with
putty powder and fine clean rags. As
soon as the face appears Of good gloss, do
not put any more powder on the rag, but
rub it well, and in a short time it will
appear as if fresh from the mason's hands.
Boiled water should not be poured over
tea trays, Japanned goods, etc, as it will
make the varnish and peel of have a
sponge wet with warm water and a little
soap, if the tray be very dirty, and rub it
with cloth; fit looks smeary dust on
little -four, then rub it with cloth. If
the tray gets marked take piece Of wooden
cloth with little sweet oil and rub on the
marks,

is quite new, and was carried out at a re-
cent dinner party in Paris with admirable

The fashion of using harlequin sets of
china is not SO popular as in former seasons,
although it will doubtless be retained by
those who have rare and valuable cera-
mics and can find no easier way of exhibit
them. The old style of using one kind of
china at time is rapidly gaining favor
This is used for everything except desert
and fruit, and there fancy is allowed full
sway
So we may look for palmer style and less
coloring than before. Monillon cups are
much sought after, and many pretty de-
signs have been brought out. These have
one or two handles, always cover, and
are put in saucer, which is again placed
in plate of the same ware. Those of
Dresden are perhaps the prettiest. Very
attractive is set of indigo-blue French
china; the cup is of the solid blue with
picked-out border of gold encircling the
top and the lid, saucer or plate, while in
the center of each is the monogram. Cut
glass still retains its popularity, though SO
closely initiated by the pressed asto deceive
the very elect. The Russian cut is given
the preference, though the. fan pattern and
hob-nail are not to be despised. Goblet,
champagne and wine glasses are Of pure
white, while those for Hook or white
wines, are of ruby, amber, and green mixed
with white. These are exquisitely beauti-
tul, but pitchers are placed on the table at
intervals to repleni8h the gobletS with wa
ter. 1t is said that rose bowls are going
out of fashion, plateux of flowers being
substituted, although many people Of ar
tistic taste will cling to Dresden bowl,
filled with lovely, long-Stemmed roses, in
spite of fashions dictum. Great variety
can be found in Roman punch-bowlS. The
handsomest are cutshallow and low and are
placed in a saucer. Roman punch is also
served in high, square glasses, alternating
green, red, and amber.

John S. Wise held forth at the same time.
The Petersburg Lancet" edited by Re-

hereafter take no part in politics and that
while it would prefer the election of Wise it
twill not shed a tear if he is defeated. It says
in discarding politics that ''By an experience
of nearly four years we have fonnd out that
we can do the masses of the people more good
by encouraging our institutions of learning.
industry, thrift, economy and integrity than
by continually being the instrument through
which the feelings and prejudices of the two
people are continually agitated, chiefly in the
interest of white Republican wire pullers and
hucksters. Those of our readers who prefer
to vote for Wise against Lee can do SO, while
those who are of the opposite opinion have a
perfect right to exercise the same"

ton. Virginia as a matter of fact was
dragged into the civil war against the jndg-
ment of majority of her people who were
for the Union, and on a point of sentiment
and affection rather than of interest. Her
place really lay with the Middle and North
ern States. Once in, she bore the bloodshed,
the privatioDs, the ruins of war with q
heroic courage aud noble patience that
has commanded tue admiration OF every
mind with spark of generosity in 1t.
Once out of the war, she turned her face
to patient industry. Her old love Of the
Union, her old pride in the Nation re-
turned faster than in any other State
which had been engaged in the struggle.
Patient under what are now acknowledge
ed by all thinking men to be great mis-
takes and wrongs of the Republican Ma
tlonal Administration, she persistently
sought to regain her old place IN the Anne
rican heart and in the eye5 Of the world
While other States were the scene
violence and murder during reconstruc
ton, her paths were in peace. And now
to have some OF her own children, ANNA
ted by the basest motives Of desire for
power and place, sending out to the civil
LIKED world that she is a den of murderers
and assassins. and that her people still
cherish in their hearts desire to make
war upon the Union, is cause which
fully accounts for the unanimous hatred
with which her traducers are regarded.
Does any one wonder at the wild applause
that greets the fierce denunciatlon of Wise
the rest of the Democratic speakers ? II
it were otherwise Virginians would be
basely consenting to the SANDER of their
State.

PLATFORM KNOCKED INTO
SPTTMTEpu
SPLINTERS,

One OF the charges inserted in the plat
form against the Democratic party is,
that Of ''filing our jails with lunatics, and
intercepting appropriations made to en-
large our asylums.'
So far as the Western Lunatic ASYLUM
at Stanton is concerned, it would seem
absolutely impossible to compress more
falsehood into small space than is done
in the above quotation. La the last sixty
days, the Superintendent of that Asylum
has addressed an official inquiry to the
sheriffs, not only of the counties properly
tributary to it, but of all the counties and
cities in the State, asking each of them
how many white lunatics were cunfined
in the Jail of his city or county. Answers
have been received from every county and
city in the Commonwealth, except War
wick and Rappahanncck. The number of
white insane persons confined in Jail with
in the limits of the whole State was found
tv 3a Just-ser every one eff whom has
since been received into the Asylum at
Stanton. So that, so far from the tails
being filled with lunatics' by Democratic
mismanagemept, the truth, so far as it is
possible to learn it from official sources. is
that there is not at this time single
white lunatic confined in jail In the Com.
monwealth of Virginia.
And the last end of the plank is as rot
ten as the first; fors every additional &C.
commodatlon for the Insane at the West
ern Asylum has been made, without a
single exception, by Democratic admin
istratlon. The largest of the buildings
for patients was erected years ago, before
proper ideas concerning light and ventila-
ticn began to prevail. OF all possible
improvements, the one most urgently
needed for the health and the comfort of
the inmates was the entire remodeline of
this building. The work Of SUCH remodeling
had been completed in just one half of if
when the Democratic Board was removed
on March 8, so. And although it was
manifest to the most inexperienced eve
that no work could he done on the prem
ises that would contribute 50 largely and
SO directly to the welfare Of the inmates
as the completion of the Improvement,
the ReadJusters left it in the half
finished state in which they found it.
Not another brick was laid; nor nail driv-
en towards finishing it, until the Damo-
Gratis were reinstated in April, 1884. They.
at their very first meeting, determined to
resume the work, and now what was a
gloomy prison-like abode, has been trans
formed Throughout into a home for tbe
unfortunate, as bright and cheerful as air !
and sunlight can make it.

What doth it profit man If he gain
whole shadow and yet lose the substance?
The temperance people hare exercised a
wholesome moral Influence which has
moulded the policy of both parties. Will
they bring that to an end by making a
fight against the Democratic party only,
and helping Republican minorities IN

an advocate of temperance. 1t is a still
graver one for an advocate of temperance
who is also sincere Democrat.
