You will observe the slight difference in tho
cost of our different grades. This is easily
explained. We do not mark goods according
to the amount Of pressure they will bear, or
rather how high a price they will stand, but
we first determine how low we can sell them,
and we mark them accordingly. We name
$l6.50 as the price Of some Sack anu Cuta-

TIE NEXT CONGRESS.

The latest returns show that the Repub-,
lcans made considerable gains in Tues
days congressional elections. In Kentucky
Speaker Carlisle is reported to have been
defeated, though his friends still claim
majority for him, and two other Kentucky
districts are reported to have been carried
by the Republicans. In Illinois VIM. II.
Morrison has been defeated, and the returns
show total Republican gain of four Con
gressmen in that State. In Indiana the Re-
publicans have gained three congressman,
in Ohio five, in New York two, in New
Jersey one, in North Carolina two, in Iowa
one, and two in Michigan. In Virginia the
Republicans elect Elk Congressman, the
Democrats three and the labor party one.
This is gain of four for the Republicans
and loss of five for the Democrats. In
West Virginia one Democrat and one Re-
publican are elected and two districts in
doubt, though Flick, Republican, is reported
elected in the second district. In Pennsyl-
vania the Democrats have gained one, in
Massachusetts three, in Connecticut one, In
Minnesota three, in Nebraska one, in Ten
nessee one, and in South Carolina one. This
would indicate net Republican gain Of 10
or 10. 1t would require net gain Of TWEEN
ty-three to give the Republicans majority
in the next House. Both the Democrats
and Republicans claim the New Jersey
Legislature The Republicans claim the
Legislature of Indiana by three on joint
ballot, but the Democrats dispute their
claim The Colorado Legislature is also
in doubt, and so is that Of California

=
Upon accepting the nJmination, which
was wholly unsought ~ me, and which
was only accepted because of the unani-
nous demand made upon me, though that
acceptance involved great sacrifices on my
part In many ways, was fully aware that
this district was republican, having given
Mr.. McComas two years ago more than IL
900 majority. Recognizing this fact, but
unwilling TO refuse to lead the party when
SO urgent request was made upon me, I'M
dertook the campaign, determined, in the
face of such odds, TO make the best fight
that could be made. The campaign being
unusually short, | was, OF course, unable to
make as thorough a canvass in my own
county as should like TO have done. Con-
fronting me on every side found large
number of stalwart democrats who, being
incensed at the administration for retaining
10 Office pronounced partisan republicans,
utterly refused TO vote at all. found many
others who were dissatisfied because of the
policy pursued In some instances by the
county commissioners in imitation of the
Federal Executive in retaining republicans
In sffice. Naturally enough had TO en-.
counter some dissatisfaction growing out of
appointments made, or rather out OF the
disappointment of those who had sought
but failed, to secure appointments A solid,
well-drilled, If not oath-bound, negro vote,
especially in Frederick county, also con-
fronted me. Though was fully sensible
Of all these difficulties, l did not believe that
had the right to disregard the voice of my
party, and | reluctantly yielded and entered
the fight The camgaign was one OF the
most vigorous and spirited ever conducted
In this district, except in frederick county
The misconstructlon placed by the miners
Of Allegany county upon the position taken
by some of the gentlemen who canvassed
the district upon the tariff question caused
them to vote with Mr.. McComas. The
causes of dlsaffection which | have already
named had decided influence upon the
result. We received no aid from the ma.
tional committee, and but little from the
State central committee. Notwithstanding
all these drawbacks, the vote received was
flattering one, and though failed TO en-
tirey overcome Mr.. McComas' majority,
reduced it from over sixteen hundred to less
than three hundred. Ii the three hundred
Democrats in Frederick county who re-
Trained from voting for the reasons | have
just given had gone TO the polls and voted
the ticket would have been elected In
the face Of the inactivity of the party in
Frederick county, and of the thorough or
ganization OF the Republicans therein, the
county has gone Democratic, and demon
strates the fact that it is thoroughly Demo
cratic now and will remain so.'

BEES AND BEE-HUNTING.
Pursuit Of the Busy Insects in
Various Countries.
80 Heralds of Civilization" in the West
Noteworthy "Takes"-A Bear Comes
to the Rescue of Hunter-A
bishops Bank.

There are, it is said, no fewer than
fwenty-SeVen genera, and ore hundred
and seyenty-seven species of bees, ma
tives of Great Britain. But one only of
all these, the Apis nllifca, or common
honey-bee, has been domestlcated. At
tempts have been made with others,
especially with the Jonbus, or humble
bee, but without any adequate success.
The frequent mention of honey in
the Old Testament from the patriarchal
ages downward, and the description of
Palestine as "a land flowing with milk
and honey may well have raised the
question whether the honey was OBJ
tanned from bees in wild condition or
in a state of 'lomeStication. The weight
of evidence is in favor of the former.
In the somewhat wandering life, as
strangers and pilgrims" which many
IF the patriarchs led. bee-culture would
have been very inconvenient, if not
impossible; and as honey was to be
had in rich abundance simply for the
seeking. there would be little induce
ment to undertake unnecessary cares
and laborS in the domestication of the
native variety There is no question,
however. as to the possibility of
inducing wild bees to accept
demonstration. In Cashmere and
the north of India, the natives
have simple and ready method of do
ing this; in building their houses, they
leave cavities in one OF the walls hav-
ing sunny aspect, with a small hole
like that of a modern hive opening out
wards. The inner sida of the wall
is fitted with 4 frame c. wood with a
door attached. A swarm of bees in
search of a new home-or perhaps the
pioneers who are sent a day or two
before the actual s1arming, to seek
out a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. be at
tracted by such. an :'open door," and
the family. or army. ten. twenty, or
thirty thousand strong, would at once
take possession. The vacant space
would soon be filled by the busy work
-ers; and the inmates of the house, hav-
ing access to the store by means of the
open door, could move a comb or two
at pleasure, without distressing the
bees, simply using-the precaurion of
blowing in as mucn smoke at the back
as would cause the bees TO fly out the
front. English travellers report having
seen the operation performed. and the
bees quietly return when the work
was done. The plan has been recon-
mended for use in this country. 1t is at
least practicable, if not necessary. In
dwelling-houses there might be risks.
which would not apply to farm-build-
lngs and erections around q country
house. But if man has not utilized this
plan, the bees themselves have acted
upon it. An instance of two within
the writer's own knowledge may not
be uninteresting.

RENOVATING OLD CLOTHES.
Useful Suggestions for Economical an
Frugal Housekeepers.

Frugal Housekeepers.
Black silk can be made to look al
most as good as new by sponging on
the right side with weak tea or coffee.
and pressing on the same side with a
piece of flannel between the silk and
the iron. If the silk is badly wrinkled,
sponge with weak gum-arabic water
on the wrong side and iron between
two wooden cloths.
The following mixture is highly rec
commended as an excellent preparation
for sponging wooden clothes to clean
them: Two ounces of white CASTLE
soap, cut in small bits and dissolved
in one quart of warm water. After
the soap is dissolved, add four ounces
of ammonia, four ounces alcohol, two
ounces of ether, one ounce of glycer-
inc and three quarts of soft water.
Mix and bottle, using rubber or glass
shoppers for the bottles. TO use, pour
a quantity of the fluid into an earthen
dish, lay the goods on the ironing ia
BILE, on a piece of rubber cloth, and
sponge with the mixture, wetting
thoroughly and always drawing the
sponge in the same direction.
When the goods is nearly dry,
press with a hot iron under a
piece of white cloth. if the. goods
are light colored, or under black if
the goods are dark. Remove the rub
Der cloth before pressing, and be sure
there. are no creases in the ironing
blanket, as every one will leave a
streak in the goods.
Rusty black goods can be best re-
stored by sponging with strong am,
monia water, or, what is better, q
mixture Of equal parts of ammonia and
alcohol. '-''s
Grease. spots can be taken from
goods of any color by covering the
spot with pipe clay. Powder the clay

sistency of thick cream; spread on the

hours and then remove With the blunt
edge of knife, and dust with soft
brush. To remove paint, apply tur-
pentine till the paint is soft, then
sponge repeatedly with alcohol. Oil,
wax and resinous substances may be
removed in this way. Spots made by

moved by citric acid, but before apply
