The Carlists seem to gain nothing by the


activity with which they resumed operations
after the fall Of Gen. Concha. They have
been severely repulsed from Puigcerda, are
unsuccessfully beSieging Cuenca, and are re-
norted to have adopted policy in their oper-
atjons against Bilbao which will be somewhat
embarrassing to their English and French
supporters. They anticipate some trouble
from the Spanish vessels on the Biscayan
coast during the coming campaign, and they
have concluded to silence their guns by the

If any body in Danbury is looking out for
lodgings in Philadelphia, to be occupied
during the Centennial Exhibition, / would
advise him to hunt up the place mentioned
in the following advertisement, which cut
froura Philadelphia paper:


"1he upper part Of = house to let, contain
ing three rooms, cellar, kitchen, and a
back yard"


l recommend this place because I can
imagine nothing more interesting than
cellar on the third floor, and back yard
which can be reached only through the
fourth story window. l am going around to
see that house the next time l visit Phila-
delphia, SO that can grasp the phenome-
non better. l suppose they have the garret
about eighty feet below the front pavement.
The only explanation of the my ystery that
occurs to me is that somebody has turned
the house upside down and stood it upon
its root, while the back yard, having ad-
hered to the foundation wall, remains sus-
pended in the air. 1t ,s going to be very
entertaining to the hired girls who have to
hang out the wash on the under-side of
that yard. They had better practice for q

Action upon the bill to create the Terri tory of Pembina brought out the full strength of the woman suffragists in the Senate, chief among whom was Aaron A. Sargent of California, whose State Is not in favor of permitting women to vote, and who ought to have known that there isn't a State or Territory, for that matter, border ing on the Pacific, whose women desire to vote.

 But, we presume Mir. Sargent and those who voted with him, thought the passage of the bill would just play the deuce with Mor- monism, and they went for it, caring little whether it suited the people of the Territo- ries, who, in the eyes of some people, have no rights which Congress is bound to respect.

 Now, we can stand and get along with any class of voters, and, if women desire to vote, we can stand them, too. Yes, much better than other classes we might mention. But, majority of them do not desire to do so as they can exert greater influence in polit- ical and other matters by not voting; as they will remain purer, better beings with out than with the elective franchise. We ask Senator Sargent and men of his way of thinking if it is not little mean and cow ardly in him and them to make other Terri tories suffer for crimes committed by Nor mons. We are opposed to polygamy so are all Arizonans, who think that Congress ought to put a stop to it, in an open, straight forward manner and not in the sneaking way mapped out by Sargent.

The Board of Supervisors of this county met yesterday at the office of the county rt- corder and took into consideration the mat ter of paying the witness fees recently al lowed by Judge Tweed, finally resolving that it was questionable whether or not the Judge had the right to draw money out f our county treasury in the way we have heretofore explained, which resolution led them to demand, from the district attorney: a written opinion on the question. They also ordered the treasurer to withhold pay ment of the orders until otherwise advised, which order the treasurer will certainly obey

In sermon delivered in the Cathedral
at Enniscorthy, Ireland, Father Burke re
marked


"When the church was established, pa
gan architecture was symbolical of false
religion spacious coonnades, large courts
! and great buildings, with lines running level
with the earth, and as little as possible
! raised above the earth. There was nothing
in them looking to Heaven nothing lead
ing the imagination to God. But when
society improved, then the church of God
rose to the height of her sacred mission
once more; and, inspired by the highest
Christian ideas, that which before was but
beautiful corpse received its living spirit
from the inspiration of the church OF God.


"Slowly, bnt surely, under her care came
forth from the church-consecrated by her
Notwithstanding back into the light-the
arts which barbaric armies had spread over
and destroyed. Forth came science with
new rays of beauty in her face and from
her mind came forth the magnificent insti
tuition of Gothic architecture. 1t was no
level, horizontal line, spreading ont and
taking in large portions of soil the new
idea was to take in so much of the earth
only as was necessary to raise up struc-
tare which would be thing of beauty and
a joy forever; structure sufficiently broad
to take a strong hold of the earth and
gradually narrowing to point, as if it
were an hTIOW SaOt from Cne cuQrcn ana
destined to meet the skies.


"That silent preacher, the cross on the
spire, would proclaim to them every day,
pointing away into the skies, the great and
mighty truth that, as man aspires to
heaven, in the same proportion he must re-
cede from the baseness and sinsulness of
his fallen nature. They saw what a hold
that spire had taken of the earth-going
down to the rock on which it had firmly
fixed ITSELF raised by inches into solid
squares, and from the tower springing an
editce which tapered gradually to a point,
as it proceeds towards heaven, rising beau
tifully, diminishing in weight, diminishing
in thickness until it reached the point, and
then, and then only, touching and uphold
ing the cross. Thus it was with the true
Christian, who must aspire heaven ward,
leaving earth and its cares and sins behind
him"

German saloon keepers, hotel and restaurant
Keepers ball room proprietors. &C., was held at

CLEANING SILK.-Silk is such an ele-
giant but expensive material, that every
lady possessed of economy as well as taste
should study to preserve and renovate
every breadth as soon as it shows the first
signs Of fading and losing its original fine
lustre. The following is an excellent re-
cipe for restoring that important item in a
lady's wardrobe. Use potato water for all
colos and kinds. Crate potatoes into
cold spring water, say cut large potato to
every quart of water, of which five or si1
will do for a couple Of dresses. If for very
light silk, pare the potatoes; if any way
dark, merely wash them clean. The pan
of water must not be stirred in the least
for forty-cight hours, then very slowly and
steadily. Pour off the clear liquor, but
not particle of the sediment, into an open
vesscl--a bottle or such like. Dip the
pieces Of silk into this liquid up and down
few times, without in the least creasing
them; then wipe them on fat table with
a clean towel, first on one side and then
the other 1t is as well to hang erch one
as dipped upon line to allow the drops
to drain of a little before wiping. Have
a damp cloth to cover them in till they
are done; then iron one way on the soiled
side. The result of this wash win be most
satisfactory.

stituted could not get on at all If we could
not rely on promises and accept words for
bonds. To be sure, the more cautious
shall we say the wiser or the more suspic-
ions 2--among us counsel always to have
thing set out in writing. Verbal agree.
ments are no better than mere moonshine
to them, and they boast Of never trusting
what they cannot sue on and recover dam
ages for in open court. They give no
weight to those unwritten bargains on
which so much Of the smooth running of
life depends; and, with every wish to be-
lieye you honorable and sincere, they pre-
fer to have you fast within the enchanted
inclosure of skin Of parchment rather
than trust to your good intentions or your
generous promises Broadly speaking they
are right; and yet they are wrong, too. So
much more remains of necessity uncata-
logued than we can ever set forth in full
and formal legal array, that we are bound
to trust each others sense of honor, more
especially in those affairs of social life
which partake Of the nature Of bargain.
Why, everything We do is more or less of
this nature. The very dinner party we
give, and the dinner party to which we go,
have their unwritten laws of quid pro quo.
The host gives dinner. He tacitly bar
gains for his guests good humor, good
breeding, and appropriate raiment His
guests accept his invitation, and their tacit
terms are wholesome food and enough Of
1t, cordiality Of bearing, and co-guests Of
about their own standard. We should
soon come to an end Of all "requesting the
pleasure" If these conventional and un-
spoken bargains were disregarded. As It
is they remain in force; and we cannot
help the rather sad comparison of their
power and vitality with the weakness and
faceidity of others, which yet represent SO
far greater interests


SO it is; there is scarcely an act in the
great drama of life that has not its floating
circumstances bargained for, both beyond
and within the written convention. And
1t is just in proportion to the strictness
with which man keeps to his bargains
that we respect and trust him. A shifty
egotist who only cares for his own pleasure
or good and who lets his neighbor fall
through any number Of fractures in his
bargains, is not man we generally uphold
as model Of trust worthiness, or care to
have dealings with in any way. But a
man who keeps his other engagements with
scrupulous fidelity, and scatters those of
his marriage like chaff before the wind,
passes current as fine fellow enough
unhappily mated, may be, but who shall
judge? Only so far, that while the cir
cumstance continues which was professedly
founded on certain terms, each contracting
party is bound in honor to fulfil these
terms; and an unlucky choice in marriage
claims no more exemption from honorable
fulflment of its conditions than any other
bargain. The worst thing a man and
woman can do is to marry for money, and
without love, save one and that Is when,
having so married, they neglect the duties
they have undertaken, and fail their
promise in all its essential qualities and
vital meaning.

The following from the Benicia Tribune,
is a good and deserving rebuke to those
wonld-be wits who are eternally exposing
their low-bred natures by ridiculing what is
next to MOTHER motber-in-law:


''lt has come to be sort of axiom among
the Aippant quill-drivers, that when they
are out of an idea, the woman question is a
text upon which they may date, and which
they may lampoon and turn into ridlcule as
their feeble wit may serve We suppose
it is sort Of instinct which deters these
self-supposed humorists from satirizing the
woman to whom they owe their existence,
as it has never occurred to us that it was
from any sentiment of delicacy, when these
would-be wits are promiscuously hurting
their shafts at the hypothetical weakness
and foibles of the softer sex.


And thus it comes that man who would
regard it as mortal affront to be designated
as the offspring of canine female, will at
tack with the most remarkable intrepidity,
everything that is pure, holy. just, lovely
and of good report, (perhaps that is not in
the order of the apostolic catalogue) in every
woman but his mother. Why is she
spared ? Because he recognizes any special
divinity about her? or because he cares
more for ber than for any other woman
Nay, verify, instinct and the habit which
even brutes have Of respecting the rights of
parent, are to us the only appreciable
causes for this consideration.
