Ammonia.
Morton's Advance.

Morton's Advance.
Ammonia is cheaper than soap and
cleans everything it touches. A few
drops in a kettle that is hard to clean
makes grease and sickness fade away
aud robs the work of all its terrors. Let
it stand ten minutes before attempting
to scrape off, and every corner will be
clean. 1t cleans the sink, and pene
trates into the drain pipe. Spots, flo
ger marks on paint disappear under its
magical influence, and it is equally eff
fective on floor and oil cloth, though
it must be used with care on the latter
or it will injure the polish. There is
nothing to equal it in cleaning the sill
verware, and it gives a higher polish
and keeps clean longer than anything
else. If the silver be only slightly
furnished put two tabespoOnfuls of ans
monia into quart of hot water, brush
the furnished articles with it and dry
with chamois. If badly discolored,
they may need little whining pre-
vious to the washing. An old nail
brush goes into the cracks to polish
and brighten. For fine muslin or deli
cate lace it is invaluable, as it cleans
without rubbing the finest fabrics.
Put few drops into your sponge bath
in hot water, and you will be astonish-
ed at the result, as it imparts GOODNESS
to the skin. Use it TO clean hair
brushes, and to wash any hair or feath-
ers to be used for beds or pillows.
When employed in anything that Is
not especially soiled, use the waste
water afterwards for the house plants
that are taken down from their usual
position and immersed in the tub OF
water. Ammonia is a fertilizer, and
helps to keep healthy the plant il
nourishes. In every way, in fact, am
monia is the housekeeper'S friend.

Our Sweets.
New England Farmer.

New England Farmer.
One beet sugar factory in this coun-
try, that at Alvarado, Cal, has prove d
a success, Having gone through four
successful campaigns. But it is now
threatened with an over supply of
beets raised by the farmers in The
vicinity at a stipulated price 81 80 per
ton. The present low price Of sugar,
and the feeling Of an uncertainty
concerning the action of Congress upon
the tariff questions also makes the
future Of the industry look little
gloomy to those who supposed they
had finally succeeded in establishing Il
permanently profitable industry. Prof.
H. w. Wiley estimates the cost Of the
sweets at S21S, 100000 year to the
people of the United States, or about
81 to each person, and nearly equal
ling the total expenses of the National
Government. Could this sweetening
all be made at home, it would greatly
add to the industry OF the country,
and retain at home, the 500, 100000
now sent to other countries for this
now indispensable luxury.

Is Business Bad? No.
Southern Trade Gazette.

southern Trade Gazette
We hear so many complaints Of the
dizziness of trade and the "terrible
depression" that one is apt to catch
some of the inkiness Of the cloud
without he penetrates to its innards
and finds that, like nearly all the
black clouds, there's silver lining
to this one too. That is to say, trade
is not nearly so bad as one might be
led to suppose did he look no further
than the black ClOuded faces of the
croakers. OF course we admit that
where there's 50 much smoke there
must be little fire, perhaps a great
deal of fire but after all it is no gen
eral coniagration, and the old globe
goes whirling round in its diurnal
revolution with Indifferent pertinaci-
ty. After all, the legitimate enter
prises are but few of them suffering
from more than mismanagement of
their affairs. In some lines there is
evident over production; our ma
ehinery is getting ahead of the de-
mand that is, by the great improve
ments which we have made in our
machinery we are now able to turn
out many kinds of wares faster than
our people can use them. AS like
begets like, and invention follows
necessity, these things eventually
right themselves, even if in doing so
only the fittest survive.
For the past twenty years we have
grown so rapidly in population,
wealth, etc, that there has been what
might be called an abnormal demand
for many of our products-a demand
which has in a measure become
Satiated. And a demand which
comes from unnatural stimulation is
sure to recoil like the taut spring.
There is some uneasineSs as to what
the future course of Congress may be
as to the tariff on such articles as
come in competition with American
products, and this may have ten
dency to temporarily check the in
vestment of capital in new enter
prises or in the enlargement of old
ones. But even should only this
grow out of the uncertainty, it will
without doubt be a benefit, for there
is already too much capital so invest
ed, if tits true that the demand is
continually overmet by theproducers,
and the sooner some of thisimprOper-
ly used capital is diverted to- health
Ter channel the sooner and more per-
manent will be our revival in trade
An important duty for the Govern
ment to consider now is the forming
carefully drawn treaties which will
enable us to put our manufactures
and agricultural products abroad in
such manner as shall make a perma.
nent export trade. Ehis can be done
by cautious work, but it can be badly
overdone and bungled if some idiotiC
committeeman from the back "dee
stricks" is allowed to use the idea OF
the committee forpolitical buncombe
The "party" to the dogs. 1t is bust
ness we want, aud business we car
get, if the wise (?) solons in Wash
ington will only be kind enough tt
go slow.

Where the grain is only to be used
for feeding, oats and peas are some
times grown together. The practice
is an excellent one, as the two grains
will produce more feed than either
separately. They are also good when
cut green for soiling purposes, or for
putting into the silO. Peas are strong,
rich feed, and their vines shade the
ground 50 completely that they act as
a mulch to the soil during the hottest
weather. Oats growing with peas
keep the vines of the latter from fall
ing down.

last night discharged the grand jury of
the September term. Reports show that
siNty-eight indictments were found under
United States laws, and forty-two under
territorial laws and that $50 witnesses
were examined. The jury tried to get
evidence for the Indictment of keepers of
disreputable houses as instructed by the
court, but all witnesses, police included,
claimed they knew nothing of viola
tions of the law in this respect, except as
to the houses established by the con

THE NUEvo LEON REVOLUTION.

THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE


WASHlNGTON, Dee. 2O.-Sccrctary Man
ming, with reference to the proposed eX
animation by the Senate into the working
of the New York custom house, says that,
rs the executive officer responsible for
the execution of the tariff law, he should
welcome the cooperation of the Senate
committee. He said, however, that dur
ing nearly all of the present quarter
century, inquiry into the condition of the
custom houses had been going on under
the initiation and supervision of his i'm
mediate predecessor and himself, and that
result of the inquiry is exhibited in II
volume of 800 pages which Will disclose
every fact in regard to the custom house
up to October last and save the work of
the examining committee.
Mr.. Manning remarked that he had in
his annual report to Congress described
his own idea of the collector of customs at
any of the great potts and he had distinct
ly intimated his own conviction that salts
factory execution of the present tariff law
would test the officers best efforts. The
point of attack now, he said, is appraSlng
the Department. and he should firmly up
hold the conscientious conduct OF those
officers against all corners 1t Will be
difficult enough to execute the existing
law with the best of subOrdnates, and 1t
would be his effort to efficiently use such
instruments us may be placed IN his hands
by the President and senate, to whom
the law had wisely cOniidcd the selection
of the chief customs officials.
