How to Clean Furs.

Put quarts of fresh bran in a pan
over the fire and stir it frequently to
keep it from burning. Lay the fur
upon the table, and when the bran is
quite hot apply or handfuls of
1t to the fur and rub it in well with
the hand. Repeat this process several
t3ms4 always taking fresh, hot bran
from the pan. When the fur is clean,
shake it and brush it with a clean brush
to remove any -four and dust which
may remain.

Importance OF a Vote.
Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta ChronlcIe.
Since the official count in the State
OF Maryland, it has been demon
strated that a change of thirty-nin+
votes would have given the Demo-
Gratis the general assembly. Twelve
votes given to the Democracy in
Talbot would have given Senator
German the four legislative votes OF
that county. Three votes in Prince
George, an additional delegate from
there. Thirteen in Montgomery to
the house and eleven in Carroll, an
additional Carroll delegate. In all,
a change of thirty nine ballots would
have given Mr.. German pine more
votes in the legislature and it's con
troll.

First Dark Horse
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
People are always talking about
1.-THE dark horse," but we wonder
how many nowadays read the follow
ing passage which gave the phrase
it's origin:
"The firs5 favorite was never heard
of, the second favorite was never seen
after the distance post, all the ten
to-oners were in the rear, and dark
horse, which had never been thought
of, and which the careless st. James
had never even observed in the list,
rushed past the grand stand in
sweeping triumph"
This is from the late Lord Beacon
fields Young Duke" a novel which
once had d tremendous popularity,
and which can be read today with
satisfaction by all with a taste for
epigrams.

We have been for a long time of the

tendency in this direction, it is graft
