A Valuable Recipe.

The Courier-Journal publishes the
| following valuable recipe for making
wbitewasli which is the same Kind piac-
| ed upon the White House, otherwise
known as the Presidents mansion, in
Washington City. 1t is worth preserv-
ing and should be in every household.
| The following is the recipe in question,
| only modified slightly as the result of
| actual experiences:
"Take half bushcl say, of nice I'M
| Stacked lime, slack it with boiling wa
ter, covering it during the process to
keep in the steam. Strain the liquid
| drought a fine straincr and add to it a
peck of clean salt, previously well dis
solved in warm water; three pounds OF
ground rice, boiled to thin paste, stirr
dered Spanish whiting, and a pound of
clean glue, which has been previously
dissolved by first soaking it well, and
then hanging it over a slow fire, in a
| small kettle within il large one filled
| with water. Add five gallons OF hot
| water to the whole mixture stir it well
and let it stand a few days covered from
the dirt. 1t should be put on quite hot !;
for this purpose it can be kept in kct-
tie on portable furnace. 1t is said
that one pint of this mixture will cover
a square yard upon the outside of a
house, it properly applied. 1t answers
as we'll as oil paint for wood, brick or
stone, and is much cheaper. 1t retains
its brilliancy for many years. There is
nothing of the kind that will compare
with it for covering either inside or out
side walls. Colorng matter may be
put in, and made of any shade desired
Spanish brown stirred in will make red
or pink more or less deep, according to
the quantity. a delicate tinge of this
is very pretty for inside walls. Fine
ly pulveriZed common clay, well mixed
with the Spanish brown before it is
stirred into the mixture, makes lilac
color. Lamp-black and Spanish brown
mixed together produce reddish stone
color. Yellow Ochre stirred in makes
yellow wash but chrome goes further
and makes color generally esteemed
much prettier. In all these cases the
darkness of the shade will, of course
be determined by the quantity of color
ing matter used. 1t is difficult to make
rule, because tastes are very different;
it would be best to try experiments on
slingle and let it dry. Green, it is
said, must not he mixed with lime; the
lime destroys the color, and has an eff
feet on the whitewash, which makes it
crack and pea !. When walls have been
badly smoked and you wish to have
them clean white, it is we'll to squeeze
indigo plentifully through bag into
the water you use, before it is stirred
into the whole mixture. IT a larger
quantity than five gallons is wanted the
proportions should be observed.

Gen. j. b. Gordon in Atlanta Journal
1t is true-distressingly true-that oul
people. are financially embarrassed and
depressed. This is due in part to un-
necessary tariff taxation and to class
legislation by the Republican party. 1t
ia due in part to insufiicioncy of cur
1ency in the country, but it is still more
largely due to that fact that VIC have
more cotton than the world wants and
less provisions than we want. There
are, | believe, 100000 more bales left
over from the old crop than were ever
before on baud at this season. Ii we
had made 100000 bales last year in
stead of 100000, no combination on
earth could have kept cotton down
under - cents pound. Statistics prove
beyond cavil that the price of cotton is
put down more by che number of bales
on the market than by the number of
dollars in circulation. IT we would
halve our cotton crop and double our
provision crop it would not be five years
1ill we would have Wall street and the
world at our feet,

We are passing through maximum era of shows.
Close observers Of the Madison Square Garden
for the past few months report the greatest show
activity for a number of years We have had horse
shows, poultry shows, chrysanthcmnm shows, pla n
flower shows dog shows and various other shows.
Now there Is a tendency to branch out on new
and unheard of shows and bicycle show, min
eral show and other shows proposed. The only
show which nobody suggests seems TO be n baby
show This is because we are not yet quite ready
10 sacrifice Mr.. Dcpew. or course, Mr.. Depew is
the only man In New-York worthy moments con

could not give first prize to al, and he would not

not even if he had one of his incompatible limited
locomotives run down through the Fourth-avc. sur

as soon as he shouted his decision. But need not

There is however, n kind Of show which il

breed of small boys has long been neglected for
that of running horses and st. Bernard dogs Is
generally known. We can but few minor

THE ATTACK on THE CASTLE.

The sudden demonstration of di>contented
workingmen against the Empelors palace IL q
startling revelation OF popular unrest III the
German capital. Fer several years the world
has heard little about Socialist agitation in that
quarter. Bismarck aimed to suppress it with
Characteristic thoroughness by drastic legislation
The anti-Socalst law was passed and re-enact-
ed. and the leaders were compelled TO act with
caution and ccumspecticn. If fresh measures
for the amelioration of the working classes had
not been brought forward session after session
there would have been reason for suspccting that
the Socialist movement had been crushed. Few
meetings were held and no outbreaks Of disorder
occurred. Berlin and few other large centres
of population continued to elect Socialist Depu-
ties to the Reichstag but revolutionary agl-
tatom Systematically RETAINED from placing them
selves in an attitude of hostility to the Gov
ernment and the throne Without warning, a
large ccncourse of workngmen, after passing
their customary resolutions against the greed Of
capital and the tyranny of employers, started
in the direction of the Emperors castle, singing
the "Marselase' as they marched. They had
nearly reached the castle gates before power
full detachment of police succeeded in putting
them to rout by determined charge with bull
lets and clubs.
The Emperors speech on the previous night
is said to have melted this extraordinary mob
demonstration. What there was in the compla-
cent optimism of that grandilCquent address to
excite Socialist resentment it is hard to deter
mine. He outlined future Of peace and hap
| riness for the German people, and seemed to
he seriously impressed that Providence had an
important ally in himself in efecting results OF
| the highest benevolence. There was, however,
nothing in what he said TO indicate indifference
to the welfare of the working classes or con-
tempt for their political opinions. The impulse
TO carry the great throng of unemployed work.
ingmen to the gates Of the palace was probably
sudden and inexplicable. The Socialist agitatois
had not premeditated such movement, but had
only desired to renew their denunciations OF
wealthy corporations and employers and to con-
denim the existing social order. The movement
to take the grievances Of the mob to the castle
was one Of those irresistible caprices by which
revolutionary throngs are often mastered when
Disconnected men feel with intensity the unrest
that is pusating in their hearts.
| There is social unrest in every quarter OF
Christendom ID is not confined to Berlin OF
Germany. 1t is an age of discomfort, and the
area of disaffection with existing political order
and the relations Of wealth and poverty is con-
stantly widening in Europe and America. u 4
