Fill the boiler with soft water to within about
three inches Of the top of the inside boiler. Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.


Bring the water to boil, and then place the
clothes in the not water. The water will imme-
diately pour over the shell all around, and if it
bois over raise the lid.


Keep up h t FIRE for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out and Immediately SUBS them

remains. few rubs will take it all out. Then
rinse them in clean water wiring dry and the wash

SUGGESTIONS.


The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital Importance to THOR
0UGHLY SUBS 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. brisk FIRE is important in order to PRO-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling
The sho4ld not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, dirty shirts, for instance will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&c.


Articles much soiled may be left in for a second
boiling. White fannels may be beautiful washel

should be put in when the water is hot and rinsed
out in hot water.


Colored clothes should not be mixed with white,
and unless the colors fast they should never be
washed by this process. The most delicate laces,
cambrics, &C., such as would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way. may be washed per-
fectly without injury, by this process. The almost
abspute ne ,essity of using soft. or "broken,"
water, is so well understood to hardly need
mention here.

BosToN, August 13. - Secretary
Boutwell, addressed several hundred
business men at the Shoe and Leather
Exchange to-day. He favored the
breaking down of the monopoly pos
sessed by the English iron vessels, in
carrying the trade of the world, and
the continuation Of the payment Of
the national debt. at the rate of at
least fifty millions per aunum, until
the bonds of the United States are at
par in coin, whether they bear inter
est at four or six per cent. This
could, he thought, be done after one
year. even upon a reduced system OF
taxation. The interest account now
about one hundred and eighteen
millions annually, should be reduced
to one hundred million. A reduction
of the principal will accomplish il i'm
mediately. Boutwell, then favored
the funding of a portion of the ma
tional debt at lower rate Of interest,
and closed with a complimentary al
lusion to Boston.

The Republican party has made haste
to reduce taxation just as rapidly as has
beemed consistent with the mainten-
ance of the national credit The Dem
Ocratic party has been consistent in de-
nouncing every tax, in pursuance of its
general policy in crippling that credit.
In striking off 10000, 900 or more from
the internal revenue, Congress has done
great deal to relieve trade and indus
try and to give elasticity to enterprise,
and this will soon be felt.


That reduction is very great for a sill
gle year. If the funding process prove
successful, however, other taxes can he
swept away as soon as Congress assem-
bles in the winter. The income tax, for
example, Will not again be collected un-
til next May. If the revenues continue
good and the rate of interest be reduced,
that tax can be repealed in December.
In the meantime it will appear in the
resources of the Government if neeessa-
ry. The revenues are kept upat stan
dard adequate to any emergency. If
found to be practicable, the. income tax
and other taxes can be abolished before
the time arrives for fresh assessment.
1t is to be borne in mind that the reduc-
tion in the debt of over $4,000, 600 in
June, was due to the fact that much of
the income tax reaches the treasury in
that month. Payments cannot and ought
not to be continued at that rate. But
handsome eXcesSes in the revenue in the
coming months, after the effect of pend
ing reductions is felt, will justify the
further abolition of taxes in December.
We hope and believe that will be possi-

President of the Terre Haute Il Indian

proposition. think l am not far out of

Mr.. McKeen-Very nearly.


Mr.. McKeen says | am very near
right. | tell the farmers, therefore,
tat it will take one bushel out of three,
verp nearly, to send their wheat TO New
York, and then it costs good deal to
get it to Liverpool. And, when it comes
to corn, guess it takes one bushel to
send the other to New York-very near
ly, to send it to tie city of New York,
and then, if you go in search ofs foreign
market, which some gentlemen are so
bent on, you have to foot the additional
transportation across the Atlantic or
whatever sea it may be. So that it is
for our interest TO have our market at
home.

to have all kinds of industry, all kinds

a monopoly, but say it is to our inter-
est TO have as many manufactures as we
can. Why, do you think everybody
ought to be farmers? Why, certainly
not. If so, the farmers could not make
anything. If everybody were farmers
then the farmers would have 10 market.
No, it is not the interest of those gentle
men who are engaged i'll farming to have
everybody olse Quit their mechanical
pursuits and go to farming. 1t is to our
interest to have diversified pursuits; to
manufacture, as far as we can, what we
need, that the men that Manufacture
may buy what the farmer has to sell and
sell to the farmer what he wants. My
friends, will any man dispute these
principles? And yet some politicians
will come before the country and argue
as if there really Was no honorable put-
suit except that of farming. They want
to iiatter the farmers, but the farmers
have too much good sense and too much
intelligence to be. fattered in that way,
They know that if every body was TO go
to farming they could make bat very
little at it. Their interest is TO have
good markets at home. One great con-
sideration that we have it TO look to now
is that of cheap transportation to the
Eastern cities. We have got to have
cheap transportation in some way, and
we are going to try and find out that
way. But | state the broad principle
that the nearer we can bring the market
to home the better for the farmers.

and ye shall surely die" God said,
And called his angel then, who took
His pen, and wrote in Natures book
These words, and all the leaves turned red
IL might have been the blush of shame
That rose to Natures cheek, when first
She knew that God the land had cursed,
That blight had fallen on her name.
Again on Natures face see
blush, as in the olden time,
Although glory half sublime
Is mingled with it, seems to me.
Alas alas for her sad DOOM
Alasi for Adams sin we say,
let Nature wears in her decay
a charm she knew not in her bloom
y softer, sweeter tenderness,
As if Gods angel wrote again
New words OF life and hope and then
Impaired a new loveliness.
o men, who faint with fear of death,
men, who say there is no bloom.
No life, no love beyond the tomb,
Look on these glories and have faith.
From buried ashes shall arise
New forms of life, as in decay
Nature doth mould her Spring to-day,
And bloom again in Paradise.
