There are but few inventions or discoveries
partment of labor To have supposed, year ago,
that the dirticst garment could be washed Clean
in twenty thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the Clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such a surpositon has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the ex-
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.


Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be to be fully appre-
ciated, its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement


Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than a
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred day. Ne
used it as directed that did NOT recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the those of the most distinguished cit
liens of the United States but the best rccommen-
dation is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just you directed aud you viii be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to us all as matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
investment. 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT on The
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies and geutieHsrs car, and childrens cloth
ing, only cost you $40 year They will last twice
long washed in this way as by the old method.
Thus, you actually save $50 year by investing 10
or 200 per cent. annually. There is family
scarcely but spends more than here stated but this
is taken very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con
yenience and comfort of the thing which, all taken
together, makes it luxury which no family can
well afford to be without.

Fill the boiler with soft. water to within about

The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital importance to THOR
0UGHLY SUDS the clothing after boiling Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. A brisk fire is important in order to ro-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be a large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, as dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow eases, napkins
&c.

it ill be found to be so reduced and softened as to
disappear without the use of wash-board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing. 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than ONE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this process, which
alone would pay for Boiler many times during

Among many names that might have been
very acceptable to q large portion of the recent
Republican Convention, in connection with the
Governorship, was that of George 2. Tybout, Of
New Castle county. As he declined, positively,
to permit it to be used, it is not inappropriate
for us to refer moment to him, and to the up
right and honorable course he has taken, in his
relations to the Republican organization. When,
in 1866 after the most confident expectations of
his friends that he would be made the candidate


for Governor, another gentleman received the
endorsement of q majority of the Convention,


the result, though unexpected to his friends,


and doubtless to himself, was acquiesced in
with hearty candor that did the highest honor
to Mr.. Tybout. And ever since, he has stood
uprightly in the ranks, differing sometimes
perhaps, on public questions, with our nationa
leaders, but never spreading discomfort, or SOW
ing dissension. With steady front always


toward our opponents, the character and po
sitiop of George 2. Tybout have done much t.
strengthen and harmonize the Republican or
ganization, not only in New Castle county, bu


in the State, and we take it that this is no i'm
proper occasion to thus testify the fact.

1t is evident that the pretence in the Demo-
cratic Congressmens address, of hope that
they will soon have majority in the next House,
is altogether false. They advise no candidate
shall be elected who cannot take the test oath.
Why? Because If he cannot, he will not be
given seat. Why? Would Democratic ma
jority keep him out Not at all; but Repub-
lican majority will; and hence the advice.

THE NEEDLE GUN.-This celebra-
ted gun is " breech- loading, single
barreled, non revolving rife. With
movement Of an apparent trigger,
a section of the top Of The barrel
slides back far enough to admit the
cartridge to be placed in the cavity
Of the barrel, which is done by the
gunner, with his left hand, without
removing the piece from his shoul-
der, or necessarily losing his aim.
Another movement restores the sec
ton of the top of the barrel to its
place, and firmly tastens it, ready
at the instant for firing. 1t can be
fired, therefore, twelve times in a
minute, until the barrel is too hot
to admit of the introduction of the
cartridge, ard this is easily done as
the cartridge ignites by friction on
ly, and hot by mere heat, and tho
time it remains in the chamber be-
ing fred is but an instant. Behind
the cartridge, as it lies when the
gun is loaded, is the air chamber,
about two and a half inches in
length, through which the needle
darts forward horizontally TO pierce
the charge. The cartridge is, of
course, made up with ball in front;
then, without wadding, the powder,
aud then the percussion substance,
into which the needle strikes, by
the force Of a common wire spring,

may well be imagined that after a shower
the amount Of mud brought into house is
sufficient to drive a woman frantic. Then
flies and other insects do so abound, that they
must be constantly fought and cleaned after,
and withal, tho wOter is 20 hard that it can
not be used for washing until broken with so-
da or lyc. The eastern housewife who prid.
cd herself on clothes that came from the wash
ing white as the driven snow, finds II a hard
matter to accomplish that result here. There
is no good, soft grass on which TO spread and
whiten them, but the hot sun dries them very
quickly, and perhaps fierce wind coats them
entirely with dust, whipping out the hens Of

A traveller one day called at a cottage to
ask for a draught Of water. Entering he
found the parents cursing and quarreling, the
children crouched in a corner, trembling /;
and wherever he looked he only saw marks Of
degradation and poverty. Greeting the in
mates he asked them Dear friends why do
you make home so uueomiortable2'


All, sir said the man, "you don't know
the life and trials Of poor man when, do
what you can, everything goes wrong"


The stranger drank the water, and then
said softly, las he noticed in dark and dusty
corner bible,) Dear friends, know what
would help you, if you could find it. There
is treasure concealed in your house Search
for it."


And so he left them.


At first the cottagcrs thought it jest, but
after while they began to reflect. When the
woman went out therefore to gather sticks,
the mau began to search, and even to dig,
that he might find the treasure When the
man was away the woman did the same. Still
they found nothing; increasing poverty
brought only more quarrels discomfort and
strife


One day as the woman was left alone, she
was thinking upon the strangers words, when
her eyes fell on the old bible. 1t was a gift
from her mother, but since her death had been
long unheeded and unused.


A strange foreboding seized her mind
Could it be this that the stranger meant p
She took it from the shelf aud found the verse
inscribed on the title page, in her mother's
handwriting" The law OF thy mouth is bet
ter unto me than thousands of gold and sill
ver" 1t cut her to the heart. All,
thought she, this is the treasure, then, that
we have been seeking" How her tears fell
fast upon the leaves


| From that time she read the Bible every day
and prayed and taught the children to pray
but without her husbands knowledge. One
day he came home as usual, quarreing aud
in a rage. Instead of meeting angry words
with angry replies, she spoke to him kindly
and with gentleness. " Husband" she said
we have sinned previously. We have our
selves to blame for all our misery, and w
must now lead different life" He looked
amazed. "What dost thou say?" was bis
exclamation. She brought him the Bible
aud sobbing, cried "Therc is the treasure
See have found it,


The husbands heart was moved. She read
to him of the Lord Jesus and of his love
Next day she read, and again and again, whil'
he sat with the children round her, thought
full and attentive.


Time passed on; after year the stranger
returned that way. Seeing the cottage h
remembered the circumstances Of his visit
and thought he would call and see his ole
friends again. He did so but he would scarce
ly have known the place; it was so olean, s.
neat, so well ordered. Ho opened the doc
and at first thought he was mistaken, for tn
inmates came to greet him so kindly, wit
the peace Of God beaming upon their faces
8" How are you, my good people ?" said he
They knew the stranger, and for some tim
they could not speak.


Thanks, thanks, dear sir we have ioun
your treasure. Now dwels the blessing @

The want of solid food is indicated by
the sensation of hunger, and that of
liquids by thirst; hunger is referred to the
stomach, thirst to the upper part of the
throat; but the conditions Of these parts
depend on the wants of the system. The
sensation of hunger is probably dependent
on the turgid condition of the capillary
vessels of the stomach, preparatory to the
secretion of the gastric juice, excited by
the sympathetic nerves, and communicated
to the nervous centres; when food is in
troduced, the fluid is secreted, the capil-
laries are relieved of their blood, and the
immediate cause of the nervous depression
is removed. AZ


1t is well known that hunger is tempo
rarily relieved by the introduction into the
stomach of indigestible substances; earth,
clay, and other articles are swallowed by
savages and travellers when hungry, with
the effect of removing, for time, the SEN
sation of hunger; but, as the wants of the
system are not thus satisfied, the local re-
lief soon passes away, and food is demand
ed more imperatively than at first.


The sensation of hunger may not be
noticed, if the mind or body be actively
engaged the student who takes light
supper may labor n great part of the night
without feeling hungry but when he lays
his aching head upon his pillow, to rest,
his empty stomach warns him of the
necessity of food, and refreshing sleep is
out of the question till this is taken.


Thirst, more than hunger, is connected
with the state of the general system; for it
is Immediately relieved by the introduc-
ton of fluid into the stomach, from which
it is very quickly absorbed by the veins in
cholera, where the fluid excretions are un-
naturally increased, the demand for liquids
is extreme, and may be satisfied by injec-
ton into the veins instead of introduction
