Ginghams, chintzes and calicoes should
not be put in hot or pearlinc water,
neither in water that is dirty from the
washing of other articles. Heavy flour
starching and drying in hot sun fades
colors. The plainest colors in these goods
should be washed in clean, cold water
the first and second time at least. Much
depends upon saving their color when
first wet
Among the pretty cheap goods bought
for the children this season was dress,
bright plaid. 1t made up into beauti
full school dress. One of my friends
bought from the same piece for her
daughter. When they were laundried
one was put into boiling water and al
lowed to remain there for couple of
hours to set the color. When dried it
was sorry-looking, dress. The red
stripes faded and the white dyed red and
the looks of the goods were spoiled for
ever. The other was put into pail of
cold water, to which was added table,
spoonful of salt, and allowed to stand
about fifteen minutes. Then, with a rub
of soap here and there, it was washed in
the same water by hand, rinsed in two
waters-one blue-starched in clear
starch, hung in shade toidry; when dried
and ironed the white had the faintest
tinge of red, all the.colors being bright
and beautiful. Thei second time it was
washed it was againfput into cold water
without the salt thensput into water that
was warm and soapy from the rinsing of
some white clothes ;,it was washed quick
ly on the board, .tinsed and treated as
before, and when ironed it looked as
well as when new, the white was clear
and the1colors bright. It will now al.
ways washson account of the two careful
washings.
Salt sets the colors and cold water
fades them very little, if any. Very hot
irons fadesithe colors. Detroit free Press.

MONTGOMERY (Aia), March 15th.-The
biggest political sensation of the dag in
Alabama has been the Developments in the
Fourth Congressional District. AT the last
election Lewis w. Turpin, Democrat was
declared elected. and a notice of contest
was filed by j. V. McDuffie, the Republi-
can nominee. The taking of testimony
began several days ago, and McDuffie went
into Wilcox county for that purpose. After
remaining in Camden, the county seat, for
day he was waited upon by masked
band OF the most desperate men in the
county, who told him if he did not leave
the county III forty-eight hours he would
suffer violence. The men claimed To repre-
sent the Democratic Executive Committee.
AcDuffie told them he would leave as or
dered.
Before the expiration of the forty eight
hours the best Democratic white citizens OF
Wilcox held mass meeting, and passed a
resolution that the action OF the desperate
characters was not sanctioned by the Exc
eutive Committee, or the white people of
the county. McDuifie asked them if they
would guarantee him against injury. Be-
ing told that they would not, not deeming
1t necessary or expedient, he left and has
not since been back. The matter has be-
Game generally known over the State. and
has elated the Republican element beyond
expression, claiming that the incident has
done more for their cause in Alabama than
two regiments OF armed men could have
done.
An appeal will be made to the next Con-
gress for protection. They claim that il
will give McDuffie the county of Wilcox
by the figures which he affirms are correct.

OF such products as may not benefit him
in the near future. AS 4 tenant, he knows
that IN making his landlords land more
productive he will likely be made to pay
an increased rental.
Ponoogical progress being, therefore.
confined TO very small proportion of Eu-
ropean freeholders, as compared with our
own, is necessarily deprived Of the vast
amount of research aud discoveries which
are within our own people. When COM
pairing the relative quality OF the soil Of
certain areas of the United States with
the value of their products, we find that
1t Is not always the richest lands or the
most favored localities that Weld the
largest revenue, but where the husband
man is educated there are found the best
as well as the most valuable products.
Again, ii Is undeniable that the market
value of purely agricultural lands is in
ierior to those devoted to pomoiogical
products. The pomologist not only fur
nisheS most refined aud valuable products
to the food supply, but his more scientific
knowledge of cultiyating the soil largely
adds TO the public revenue, by increasing
the taxable value of his land.
An occasional oversupply of fruit IN our
markets has doubtless had discouraging
influence in increasing products and intro
ducing pomologieal progress in certain in
stances. While overproduction is likely
to occur at times with certain products,
there are beneficial results An abundant
supply Of cheap fruits brings the latter
within the reach OF those whose circum-
stances debar them from its constant use,
and soon creates habit that changes 10 a
necessity, and a more ready disposal is the
consequence. 1t is patent fact that the
free use of some fruit eonduces to hygienic
as well as temperance reform The per-
fection attained in evaporating fruit would
demonstrate that an oversupply can thus
be converted into wholesome article of
food, easily preserved for future use. We
favor the planting Of such fruits as can be
ihus utilized. As the foreign demand is
increasing Tor American products, it is to
be anticipated that still greater improve
ments will be made in the methods for
their indefinite preseryation.-President

MORE PARTISAN THAN PATRIOT.
Judge Grinnell Argues That Protection
is Really Socialism.

CHICAGO, March 15th.-A large audience
at the Kenwood Club to night listened to a
paper on Socialism in America, +" by Judge
Grinnell, who was the States attorney in
the famous Anarchist trial. Judge Grin
nell said in part: The eager desire of
party leaders to obtain and retain office
keeps socialism and its attendant evils
alive. In Chicago anarchism is exaggerated
out of all proportion to its power, for no
good purpose, and some members of both
political parties seem inclined to act SO as
to catch this element In my opinion, the
talk about Anarchists during this last
winter has been q willful, wicked exagger-
alton of their power and an injury to
the fair name of Chicago and serious
detriment to its business interest, and |
confidently believe the purpose of such ex-
aggeration was purely political. Anarchy,
as an organization, is dead in America It's
advocates have resolved themselves back
into their former state or parentage, namely
Socialism. Yankee law has terrified
them, but we cannot with the same ease
brush aside the Socialist. This can only
be evaded by returning to the fundamental
principles of our Government, escnewing
paternalism and class legislation"
Judge Grinnell, who is Democrat, then
went on to argue that the protection prin-
ciple is wrong; that it fosters and encour-
ages Socialism-is in fact Socialism-and
that with its absolute abolishment and re-
turn to tariff for revenue only the Social
ist will die, and his doctrine disappear.
