THE SERVANT PROBLEM.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher's Contributes
to the Discussion OF This Subject.
1--we learn that girl has given
warning" to her employer of her inten-
ton to leave, there is no dishonor in
trying to secure her. But to '.do as
we would be done by" to avoid tho
least appearance of evil, it is but wise
and just to go first to her present
mistress and state our wishes and make
all necessary inquiries.
BY seeking the girl privately we mob
only degrade ourselves by dishonora-
BILE deed, but have the additional sin
placed to our account of tempting an
other to do wrong. II she can be once
tempted to do wrong she probably can
be again; and from useful, reliable
servant, you have made her one upon
whom you can place no dependence.
1.-THE laborer is truly worthy of his
hire" and none should object to his re-
ceiving the full value of his services;
but we claim that there should be no
meddling, no mean, underhanded
efforts to buy servants, or steal them,
from their employers by the private
offer of larger wages. BY ad, ertising
which is open to alone can eventu-
ally secure good help. But more open
way is to go to the employer. if sure
that the servant is intending to leave
or the mistress is willing she should,
and after learning what is thought TO
be the true character of the employee
you wish to secure, state your terms,
and ask permission to see the girl. We
claim that the good old rule should be
az scrupoulously exercised in dealing
with neighbours servant as in every
thing else-.'Do unto others as you
would others should do unto you. -
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, in Brooklyn

THE WHITE HOUSE
What Its Maintenance Costs the Country
in Connection with the President.

What It's Maintenance Costs the Country
in Connection with the President.
Most people believe that the $50, 600
year which the President gets as his
salary is the sum total. This is mis-
take. The estimate of the amount
which Congress is to appropriate this
year lies before us, open at the page
relating to the President. We see that
$780, 1854 is asked for him, in addition to
his salary of $4,000, to pay the
salaries of his subordinates and clerks.
His private secretary is paid $3.50.
his assistant private secretary $2,250,
his stenographer 81, 800, five messen-
gers each 81, 200, steward, 81, 800, two
door-keepers who each get 81 200, four
other clerks at good salaries, one tele-
graph operator, two ushers getting
$1,000 and 81. 400, a night usher getting
$1,000, Waterman who gets $500, and
man to take care of fires who receives
1864 a year. In addition to this there
Is set down $4,000 for Incidental ex-
penses, such rs stationery, carpets and
the care of the Presidents stables
And further on, under another heading,
there ia a demand for nearly $40. 900
more. OF tails $12.500 is for repairs
and furnishing the White House, $500
for fuel, $1,000 is for the green house.

Paper Water Pipes.

A short time ago it was given out
that paper rails had been made and
successfully tested. Now the same ma
terial has been utilized for making
pipes, and certain quantity of such
pipes have been exhibited in Vienna
The process is as follows: Strips OF
paper, the width of which corresponds
with the length of one pipe section, are
drawn through melted asphalt, ana
wound upon a mandrel, When the
pipe thus made has cooled, the man
drel is withdrawn, and the inside Is COW
cred with kind of enamel, the nature
of which comprises the main secret OF
the invention, and is therefore nos
mace known. The outside is painted
with asphalt varnish and busted over
with sand. 1t is stated that such I
pipe win resist some two Thousand
pounds internal pressure, though tho
thickness of the stuff is only abous
one-half inch.-- CHICAGO Herald

LINCOLN MEMORIALS.
Furniture and Books from the Old Spring
field House and Law-Ohce.


field House and Law-Ofice.
John w. Reyes, formerly of Spring.
ield, H., but now Of this city, has
fitted up room which he calls the
"Lincoln Memorial Room" All of the
furniture was used by Abraham Lin
coin, either in his house or his law
Office in Springfield prior to his de-
parture for Washington, d. c., to be
inaugurated President of the United
States. In the collection there is the
old Office desk and bookcase, the old
inkstand, ten well-thumbed law-books;
one volume of the statues of Indiana,
the first law-book that Lincoln ever
read, and which belonged to David
Furnham, his friend and companion in
Indiana from 1919 to 1881; one leaf
from his exercise book and his boy
hood signature; six hair-cloth parlor
chairs; one marble-top table; one
mirror set in a gilt frame; one hearth
rug; one walnut Cupboard; the old
mahogany-veneered sofa which was
made BY hand at Springfield in 1887 by
Daniel E. Ruckel, on Mr.. Lincolnss
order, and used by him until February,
1861; the old hickory chair In which he
was seated when informed of his nomi-
nation to the Presidency; one carriage
cushion and photograph taken of
him in May, 1858, during the cele-
brated campaign between him and
Stephen A. Douglas. The photograph
represents him with his hair very much
rumpled, and the story in connection
Herewith is to the effect that when in
the photographers studio one of his
friends observed that his hair was
combed remarkably smooth. That's a
fact" he replied, land the picture
won't look like me-" With that he
ran his hand through his hair and
made it look natural.
Mr.. Reyes only began his purchases
some months back and has already
gotten together creditable collection,
which he takes great pleasure in ex-
hibiting to his friends. Several letters
from William III. Herndon, Lincoln's
law partner, attest the genuineness OF
number of the articles. - bicaos

Foreign Loan Asse clati0ns.

Asa journalist, we feel called up on to tell of the dealings of foreign loan associations. It seems to us hat farme or land owners who borrow money of them are stand ing in their own light. And these very associations are doing big business in every Southern State, (,he modern Yankee being too smart to get caught Arkansas, and Nevada and contiguous counties included. These loan associations advertise that they will loan mon- ey at ten per cent, on improved farms, on five years time, and ma- any bite at the bait.
 Now for the facts in these trans actions. The loan company gets ten per cent. and interest Is com- pounded if payments are not met every year or two years as the case lnay be; the agent of the company gets ten per cent additional, and so at least 20 per cent. and often 20 or 30 per cent, when interest is compounded has to be paid by the borrower, and the 20 per c. has to be paid in advance. No money will be loaned above half the value of any improved farm, and after loan is effected, can not be can celed until end of five years except epon payment of interest for whole time, as we'll as principal. Very binding mortgages secure all pay ments. Clerk Terry informs us he never saw such .ight and binding papers, and if money is not paid at the end of five years, promptly, the borrower loses his land. These arc the facts, as we get them.
 We advise farmers and land own CTS not to fool with these foreign capitalists. Most of these compa. panies are located in London, Eng land. We think the United States Congress should pass law pro hlbiting foreigners and aliens from owning land in this country, as in time they may be able thereby tc control the politics and legislation of this country.
 As these London capitalists have agents in Prescott, we will here say nothing in this article is meant to reflect discredit or injure them. We simply condemn these foreign loan associations and their meth Dds.

Hobbies of the Hygienists.

There were several dozen of the hygienists in council, each with his individual hobby. Each thought all the others were wrong. Each was sure that his own hobby was the only correct one. A gen tleman present said he had taken Browns Iron Biters for debility and dyspepsia, and, though he didn't want to make fuss about it, he knew the use of this great tonic to be better than all the mo- tions he had heard advanced in the council. One practical cure is worth thousands of guesses and notions. Thousands of happy con- valescents speak gratefully of Browns Iron Bitters.
