A Substantial Dado.

A prominent decorator calls attention
to the folly of using textile fabrics for
the dado of a room, arguing, with
justice, that the dado of any wall
should be composed of some material
which is substantial and may readily
be cleaned, like wood, paint or mating.
IN room where the walls are covered
with chintz, there should be low dado
of enamelled wood TO prevent the
chintz reaching down so low that it
will receive the wear from chair rails
Rld other sources to which the lower
part of the wall is peculiarly liable. -

is a curious sight to see the interest
they manifest as they cluster around a
particularly bright piece of stone, and
hold their Pickering lamp close to the
rock to see what it may be. 1t is thus a
matter of ocular demonstration that
there is gold-bearing quartz in Mary
land. The question has been settled
that the gold is there and in largely
paying quantities. Several gold mines
in Virginia right south and west of
Fredericksburg are also being worked,
and it is said that pay dirt is being
found there also. If it can be demon
strated, as now seems likely, that the
Appalachian range has dipped down

a bosom full of gold, the national cap

LORD sALIsBURY,s RESPONSE
On the Union Of Great Britain and Ire

BELFAST. May 2.-Lord Salisbury, in
responding to the address presented TO

the union Of Great Britain and ireland

lenged his lord Salsburys) declaration
that twenty years of resolute government
would suffice to establish peace and pros
perity i'm Ireland The fact was that only
six years OF the Conservatives rule had
shown that these remedies would succeed.
Lord Salisbury repudiated the reports
from Gladst0nian sources that II home
rule should be defeated now. the COnser-
vatives and their Liberal Unionist allies
would suggest a similar scheme. This re-
port had no foundation in truth. When
ever the Conservatives should be again
I'm charge of the Government they would
go back TO the policy which they had al
ready put TO the test with satisfactory
results
Lord Salisbury afterwards proceeded
20 take the train for Baron's county, the
