Why sonp il Cleansing.

The cleansing pr ,perties Of soap are
owing to the soda and potash which
ter into its composition. Dirt requir-
ing to be washed away, whether of the
skin or clothing. is owing principally to
dust particles and matters of a more or
less greasy or fatty nature. II fats or
oils are added to pure water it is well
known they do not mix or dissolve in
that liquid, but If soap is present the
fats and oils become ..eldily dissolv-
able. The effect of soap, which is a
combination of the a!kalies of soda and
potash and fatty acids, is, therefore, to
unite with the greasy and fatty matters
rendering them soluble in water. The
alkalies Of soda and potash which are
contained in soap are more powerful
cleansers when used alone, but in that
case their actions is too energetic, as
they tend to destroy animal and vege-
table fiber, and hence are injurious to
the skin and to fabrics. They therefore
require to have their energies toned
down, as 1t we're. and this is accom-
plished by uniting them with fatty ac-
ids. When soap is dissolved in water
the soda or potash is set free to some
extent, and seizes the grease and dirt
present, which thus becomes soluble
and are washed away by the water

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 3.-This has
been one of the most exciting days that
Rio has had since the commencement of
hcstilities between the insurgents and
the Brazilian government. The United
States naval fleet stationed i'll this harbor
has furnished the excitement. Provoked
beyond the endurance of patience by the
col tinued carclessness of the gunners
aboard the rebel war ship Aquidaban,
and tired by the indifference shown on
the part of the revolutionary admiral to
all his protests that American vessels
ertering and leaving the harbor were
not afforded proper protection by the
rebel fleet, Admiral Berham to-day made
a demonstration with the American war
vessels under his command which has
taught a much needed lesson to the
bellixerents OH both sides, and which
vii! undoubtedly have the effect hereafter
Of securing proper recognition of the
rights of vessels under the American
flag.

whaleback. in the Navy.

Washington. Jan. 3O.--lt was an
ncunced at the navy department to-day
that It Western shipbuilder had pre-
sented a PROPOSITION to utilize vessels of
the whalebs.s type in the navy. As
Capt. McDougall of Duluth, the origin
ator of the 'vhaleback, is III the city, he
is presumably the gentleman referred to,
but whose identity is kept secret. The
whaleback is more Oh the order ofg a
monitor than other merchant vessels, and
on account Of it's DETECTING sides, with
heavy armor, would present a most
formidable front for heavy fire. This
Western builder wishcst he department
to convert a few of it's vessels into this
class Of naval ships rs an experiment,
and if they promise to be successful
others might easily be turned into aux
Hilary cruisers with the same readiness as
the merchant ships recently fitted out
ut New York for the Brazilian navy.

fifteen cases not yet finally settled. The

A TRANQUIL VIEW OF DEATH.
Whittier Had No Fear of the Future
Life.


McClure's Magazine has some letters
of the poet Whittier, published for the
first time. One reads:
II entirely Synlssthizc with theesand
dear Charles Lamb. l have no longer
youth and, strength, and 1 have not
much to hope for, as far rs this life is
concerned; but I enjoy life. 1T is a
pleasant thing to behold the sun l
1--we nature in her varied aspects; and
as I grow older, l find much to love in
my fellow-creatures, and also more to
pity. I have the instinct of immortal
ity, but the conditions of that life are
unknown. 1 cannot conceive what my
own identity and that of dear ones gone
before me will be. And then the unes-
capable sense of sin in thought and
deed, and doubtless some m%iscOncep-
ton of the character of God, makes
the boldest of us towards. Does thee
remember the epitaph of Martin Elgin-
brod?
Here lies I, Martin Eiginbrod.
Have pity on my soul, Lord God,
ASH wad do, We're l Lord God
An We were Martin ElginbrOd.
I think there is Il volume of comfort
in that verse. We christians seem less
brave and tranquil, in view Of death,
than the old Stole sages. Witness Mar
Gus Antoninus. I wonder il the creed
of christendom is really the glad It'd
ings Of great joy to all people which
the angels sang of. For myself, I be-
nevc in God as Justice, Goodness Ten,
d%erness-in one word, Love; and yet
my trust in him is not strong enough
to overcome the natural shrinking
from the law Of death. Even our Mas
ter prayed that that cup might pass
from him, If it were possible"
