Real Difference E1isting-AII the Work
Of Mischief Makers.


Cor. Gin. Commercial.


WASHINGTON, No I. 10.


The President stated to Senator VIII
son to-day that there was no misunder-
standing between himself and Secretary
Cox, and there never had been; that he
entertains for him none but the kindest
feelings, and that all the differences be-
tween them had been originated and
fabricated by misunderstanding politl-
clans and newspapers. He also states
that so far as any conflict having arisen
between himself and General Cox on the
subject of reforms in the civil serv ice
there had never been so much as q shad-
ow of fact for their foundation; that they
had never discussed the subject together
as relating to the Interior Department.
but that it was generally understood in
the beginning of the administration that
all the reforms were to be made that
were possible, and that each Secretary
had taken his own course in his own de-
partment, and that he had never inter-
fered with any of them. The President
further said that the Indian policy was
his own, and that no deviation form it
had been made or none would be made,
and that Secretary Cox never objected
to the policy, but approved it; and furth-
er, that Cox, in his annual report, speaks
of the Indian policy as the Presidents,
and testifies to thesadmiradle working
thereof


Secretary Boutwell, expressed the
opinion to-day that there had been no
more reforms in the Interior Depart
ment than there had been in the Treas
ury, and that no greater severity had
been exercised in the examination of
applicants for Office in the former than
in the latter.

KNOwLEDGE Is POwER.-The fact

PLY illustrated by an anecdote that
happened in Edinburgh some few years

street observed Il large crowd gathered

powerful mastif, had the smaller one
in his relentless grip. Every effort had
been made to loosen his hold, such as
Sitting his ears, and biting and pinch

quiet, scholarly looking gentleman
came up, and making his way through
the circle, asked TO be allowed to separ-
ate the combatants. Assent was given
amid laughter and cheers, when draw
ing snuff box from his pocket, he APP
piled pinch of the titillating powder
to the mastiff's nose. The effect was so
great on the brute's olfactory senses
that he not only released his hold, but
made off as fast as his legs could carry
him. The scholar was greeted with
cheers, but he replied only, "Gentle-
men, l have but given you proof that

1t is very pleasant occupation for
children, and sometimes for larger
children to make scrap books; and this
is the way to do it,


If you can spare the money it is well
to buy a regularly made book of firm
white paper, so bound as to leave room
for the filling of the leaves. Otherwise
an old account book does very well, if
the binding be good, and if the leaves
be cut out, leaving about an inch, and
cutting two out of every three. We al
ways keep our books covered, and then
they are fresh when they are finished,
which is work Of time.


Most of us find in our reading, things
which we want to savc-poctry prose
facts or principles, according to our
taste; and the usual way is to cut them
out, carry them in a pocket book till
they are worn out, or leave them in
some box or drawer until they become
rubbish, and then forget them.


The best way is to keep Il box for such
scraps, and when you find anything you

Gus cleaning when you come to use
them. But no matter: save them Then
some rainy day or evening, we get our

board, one or two inches of old cotton
or linen, and bowl of common paste,

Then pare each scrap carefully Tor it
is well to haye done that beforehand);
lay it down upon the board, and brush
over the back nicely with the paste.
Then lay it smoothly upon the page,
and rub it down quietly and smoothly
with your cloth; and so on, the next
and the next.


On the righthand page it is we'll to
rule line at the left of the page and
begin there, and not let the Jennings of
the scraps come opposite each other on
the two sides of the leaf. A little prac-
tice will enable one to do this quite ca
silly and with very little muss.


Keep short pieces for filling up the
odd places in the pages.


The book will partly dry while you
are working on it, for the pieces need
not be made very wet, and while it is
still damp,put it under heavy weight
and leave it over night,


One of the best and most equal
weights for any pressure is a pail of
water.


1t is a great satisfaction to look over
ones scrap-book, and to be able to refer
to things which you want to remember
and would otherwise have lost.


One made for children, with few
pictures interspersed, is never-failing
source of amusement.


A book is sometimes some years in
making, 1t is so much the better when
1t Is done.

The colored people down in Delaware

A JAPANESE house is a convenient
house in many respects. 1t consists at
first of one entire apartment. Then
nova bic or permanent screens are
plac ed in position or thin walls put up,
so as to divide the house into such rooms

course, heean change at any time with
out interfering with the structure of

his portion may, if necessary, be held
in trust, its delivery depending on
reformation; but that "nO person can
