LOVE SONG. BY GEN. W. H. X.TTUL frown not, fairest, chide no mors Nor blame the Mushing wine. Its dcry kiss is innocent, ->Wben thrills the pulse with winat Then ItaVe the goblet in my hand. And /-eil thy glances bright, Lest wine and beauty mingling, Should wreck my soul to-night. Then, sweetest, to the ancient rim. In sculptured beauty rare, Bow down thy red-arched Ups and quaff The wine, that conquers care. Or breathe upon the shining cup Till that its perfume be Sweet as the scent of orange caves Upon some tropic sea. And while thy fingers Idly stray In dalliance o’er thy lyre, Sing to me, love, some rare old song That gushed from heart of fire— Songs Bach as Grecian phalanx hymned When freedom’s field was won, And Persia’s glory with the Ught Faded at Marathon. Sing till the shouts of armed men Ring bravely out once more; Sing tiU again the ghost-white tents Shine by the moonlit shore. Bid from their melancholy graves The buried hopes to start, knew ere many a storm had swept The dew drops from my heart. Sing the deep memories of the past, M y soul shall follow thee, Its boundless depths re-echoing Thy glorious minstrelsy. Ahd as the wild vibrations hang Enfettered by the air, I’ll drink, thy white arm round me, love, In wine, that conquers care.

HOUSE HUNTING.

Mrs. Fleshly very much wanted to let about six rooms in the house to some small and respectable family, and Mrs. Prod very much wished to hire six rooms in some house, with a small and respectable family in the other part; but, as both had lived long enough to understand the hazards of moving, and what it was to dwell under the same roof with disagreeable tenants or landladies, they thought it wise to be particular when they met for the first time, and enter into details before they made a bargain, and thus lessen the possibility of future regrets on account of it. The terms having been stated, as they went about the premises Mrs. Prod proceeded to give some idea of her family : ‘ ‘ We are five people, I would wish to state, in the first place, to avoid all misunderstanding. We are Mr. and Mrs. Prod—that is, my husband and myself—and he is a few years older than myself, and in the flour business; and my brother, Joseph Squeams—l was a before I was married—and he is 25 afa'd clerking it—and that is three ; and then there is my son James, who is 12, Hud that’s four ; and my son Samuel, who is 8, and that’s five, and they go to school.” “And in our family there are four,” returned Mrs. fleshly. *‘ We are Mr. and Mrs. Fleshly, with no children ; Mr. Fleshly being in the boot and shoe business, and a little older, like your husband. And then there are my grandmother, who is eighty, she being a Fleshly, as she married my husband’s father’s father ; my maiden sister, Rebecca Tiddy, who is—ahem !—a few years older than I am, and as I was a Tiddv before I was married.” “ The six rooms which we wish,’’continued Mrs. Prod, “are to be a parlor and a kitchen, one chamber for Mr. Prod, one for my brother Joseph, and one for James and Samuel together, and one spare.” “We have all them,” said the equally precise Mrs. Fleshly, “ and when we can agree as to front and back, I have no doubt we may make things agreeable,

if we should agree upon other things.” “J. am glad you spoke of that, for I wished to questiou you myself about the other things, for, after all, it may be the*otlier things which will be the most important. How is your water? Is it good and handy ?” “Croton in both kitchens, as you may now perceive, and both in wet sinks, as you perceive ; and I am glad you spoke of the water, for Rebecca is nervous, and can’t bear to hear the water running all the time, and I presume that your boys are not rude and won’t let it.” ‘* I shall see that they do not, Mrs. Fleshly ; and now, as we are speaking of water, how is it about coal? ” “ 1 will show you the coal-holes myself, Mrs. Prod. There they are. Two holes in the sidewalk, and you may have the right or the left, and I caji put an F over mine or a P over yours, to prevent mistakes ; or we can have it distinctly understood among us all which hole belongs to your family and which to mine. ” “ I will speak to Mr,. Prod about that. I think he will have no objection to doing whatever you think is right.” “ I suppose not. Ha, ha ! the gentle men are always easy to get 'along with.” “ Too easy sometimes, and that’s the reason why I go house hunting myself. Nobody but a woman know's what a woman wants in a house.” “That is very true,” agreed Mrs. Fleshly, in a business-like tone. “And how are you about visitors ? Do you have very many to keep the door-bell ringing much of the time ? Rebecca is very nervous about bell-ringi'g. She says it pierces her head through and through, and makes her afraid that somebody is coming to see her.” “We have but very few visitors,” answered Mrs. Prod ; ‘ ‘and, speaking of annoyances, I was going to ask you if you have any objection to our burning fluid in the house instead of gas. My brother, Joseph, prefers gas, but Mr. Prod insists upon fluid. ” “I don’t see how he can insist upon fluid when we have gas in all the rooms.” “But we have so many lamp 3 to be put in use, and Mr. Prod has a great many gallons of fluid, and thinks it more wholesome and portable.” ‘ ‘ And very dangerous to be carried about the house by boys, Mrs. Prod, to be dropped and set us all on fire. I don’t tliiuk Grandmother Fleshly nor Rebecca neither would consent to the risk. Don’t you think Mr. Prod would agree to gas ? ” “ I think I will try and see, as you so much wish it. ” “And that reminds me of another thing, which is, that I should hope that your brother, being a single young man, keeps good hours, and also your two boys. ”

“ They are always in, if notin bed, by ten o’clock.” “ And I suppose your husband is, too ? ” “Most generally, Mrs. Fleshly, for he is a religious man. And lam glad you spote ot that, for 1 was about to wish to ask you the same question myself, for I hope your husband don’t come late; as Mr. Prod has an idea that it isn’t respectable for a person to be seen entering at an unreasonable hour.” “ Mr. Fleshly always comes home fatigued, at supper time, and nothing could persuade him to stir out of the house till morning.” * That reminds me that I would wish to -walk out back and see what kind of a yard or garden you have got, before we make a division of fronts and backs. A back kitchen or a back parlor is often more pleasant than the front, if there is something green to rest the eye upon.” ‘ * That is very true; but we have nothing green here at present, ” replied the landlady, leading the way majestically to the small and barren area in the rear, where there was a crop of clotheslines, but not a blade of grass, nor even a sickly tree. “ But you are at liberty to plantand cultivate whateveryou please, except vegetables and sunflowers. We shouldn’t wish to have it look like a market garden, and Rebecca has a particular dislike for sunflowers. You might make it look a perfect paradise, and then, perhaps, you would prefer to have all the back rooms you could get. They would be away from the noise of the street, and a back kitchen is handiest in several r§iyeoW i

“ I will speak to Mr. Prod about it,” said Mrs. Prod, turning her back upon the gloomy prospect, which lent no force to the argument. “And, now that you speak of the kitchen, how will it be about washing and sweeping the stairways and entries? ” “We will take our turn, of course; butl suppose that as yon have four men folks —for the boys are worse than men, in respect of wear and tear and dirt—yon would not object to doing about two-thirds instead of one-half the cleaning, we having but one male person to three women.” “I will speak to Mr. Prod about it,” was the faint and evasive answer. “It seems reasonable, but my boys are very clean and orderly, always scrape their feet before they come in, and are careful not to injure carpets, paint or paper.” “I am glad you have spoken about that,” proceeded the landlady, “font reminds me of #hat I was going to ask y OU —whether ypu pay much attention to dress, as a general thing, or merely dress tidily, or don’t care much if you go slip-shod and anyhow. Some of the best people, to be sure, go slipshod and anylipw; but Rebecca is very particular about appearances, and I think myself, and so does Mr. Fleshly, that it is best :ur people to be always respectably clad.” “ You will have no cause to be troubled on that score,” replied Mrs. Prod, with a proud smile. “As for James and Samuel, they always dress as if they were going to Sunday-school. They take sifter my brother Joseph, who is a regular dandy. As to my husband, there is no end to the clothes he has ; and for myself, this black silk dress hasn’t a spot nor a rip in it, and yet it is the meanest one I have. lam very glad you spoke of that, for I was going to ask you the very same question—whether you and your husband, and your sister Rebecca, and your grandmother observed neatness and the fashions ; for it would be quite mortifying to us if you were not scrupulous in that respect.” “ Then we shall get along delightfully,” returned Mrs. Fleshly, apparently much pleased at this homage to dry goods, “ if we agree upon other things. I have known two families to live in the same house for twenty years, and hardly know which family they belonged to, if they had a good understanding with .each other and agreed upon all the little points.” , ‘ ‘ There is one little point I should like to inquire about,” said Mrs. Prod. “ We are a very happy family, and the boys will laugh and talk, and Joseph is a great singer. He has a splendid bass voice, and when I play and he sings, and Mr. Prod is telling funny stories to James and Samuel, perhaps we might disturb you.” “I am glad you spoke of that,” exclaimed Mrs. Fleshly, “for I forgot to ask you-if you made much noise. Now, Grandmother Fleshly is pretty deaf, but she is often in dread that the house is on lire ;• and if your brother Joseph has a very bass voice, she might hear it and think it was an alarm of fire, and it might cause her death. We have to be very caieful about grandmother, as she is 80 years of age, and we wouldn’t wish her to die prematurely. So don’t you think on her account, if not for Rebecca, you would prevail upon Joseph to dispense with his singing, and induce Mr. Prod and the boys to speak in a low tone and laugh mildly ? ” “I will speak to Joseph, and Mr. Prod, and James, and Samuel about it,” said the obliging Mrs Prod, “ and perhaps they will. ” “Mr. Fleshly is very fond of his pipe,” said Mrs. Fleshly, wishing to suggest a recompense for the sacrifice required, “ and perhaps your husband and brother would like to pass the evenings and smoke with him occasionally.” “Smoke! Oh, no, indeed! Mr. Prod can’t bear the smell of tobacco, and it a! ways makes Joseph sick. Don’t you think—l am very glad you happened to speak of tliat—that you could persuade Mr. Fleshly to give up his pipe ? ” * ‘ He always smokes down in the kitchen,” suggested the landlady, with a look of dismay. “But that would make it still more unpleasant to Mr. Prod and Joseph, for the smoke would ascend and smell all over the house.” “ Perhaps Mr. Fleshly might arrange it so as to keep his pipe over the range, and let the smoke go up the cliimuey ; or perhaps Mr. Prod or Joseph might be willing to bear what little scents they got, till they were used to it. I think that we will be able to overcome the annoyance, Mrs. Prod, if we can agree upon other things. And I would like to mention something about sickness. We should hope you are a healthy family. My sister, Rebecca, is very much afraid of contracting some disease, and if a sickly family should come into the house, I should never hear the last of her complaining. Besides, she thinks doctors’ visits unlucky.” “She may rest her mind upon that score, then, for if a doctor waits till we are likely to need one, it will be after our lease is up. We haven’t had a doctor in our family since Samuel was born.”

“ How fortunate !” said Mrs. Fleshly. “ And 1 hope you are all pretty sound in body, too. “I thank you, we are extremely so, because we are so careful. And now there is another thing. May I ask how you obtain your supplies—whether principally by a good many errands daily, seeing that you have two boys—which would cause much disagreeable going to and fro—or would your goods mostly come by weekly, monthly or yearly replenishment ? ” “Of course our fresh meat, milk, bread and newspapers do not come yearly, but by the day,’’said Mrs. Prod, with a blush and a smile, under the close catechism ; “but I’m proud to say that Mr. Prod has both the will and the way of a good provider, and buys his family stores by the hundred and two, and sometimes S3OO worth ! ” Mrs. Fleshly seemed overjoyed at this piece of intelligence, as indicating some degree of solidity in the family of her proposed tenants ; but still she felt the necessity of being cautious. What were dry-goods, provisions and groceries, after all ? What were health and neatness ? What was everything else, if manners should prove disagreeable ? She felt the necessity of enlightenment in that respect, and so cautiously felt her way into the Prod family with continued persistency. “ You will find plenty of store room,” declared she. “Full half a dry cellar and spacious closets.” “I hope you are not troubled with rats—l am glad you happened to speak of the cellar and closets, for they remind me of rats and mice. ” “ Not a mouse, nor a rat, nor a roach —but I was about to observe that some tenants, irreproachable in other respects, are sometimes over-sociable, and running into each other’s rooms all the time; and some are so reserved that they hold as little interjyiurse with those under the same roof as if they were enemies.” “ I think you will find, Mrs. Fleshly, that, if we agree upon other things, we shall observe a happy medium, from Mr. Prod down to Samuel. We shall never mistake our apartments for yours, nor allow you to lose sight of us altogether. ” ?. “That’s a good answer, and very satisfactory, so far ; but permit me to say one or two things more, by way of interrogatory. I have no doubt your boys are orderly for boys, but I am aware there is such a thing as unintentional rudeness, arising spontaneously from the natural exuberance of youth, and I should hope that your boys, in tpe overflow o t their animal spirits, would never

so far forget themselves, and what is due to the dignity of age and the delicacy of our common womanly character, as to salute Grandmother Fleshly by the title of ‘ granny, [or call my sister Rebecca an * old maid. ’ ” “I should hope to be by and box their ears if they did,” replied Mrs. Prod. “ But I never have occasion to correct them for their deportment to their elders. They are much like their Uncle Joe, who never tears around much, and is a model for emulation, especially, I may say, in regard to the ladies.* But then, let me see. What was I going to ask you? Oh, about borrowing, Mrs. Fleshly. lam glad Sou happened to call up the subject of abits, which, innocently intended, sometimes cause considerable discomfort. The habit of borrowing. Our family is provided with everything necessary for housekeeping, and we like to accommodate, but are much opposed to the common habit of lending and borrowing. I suppose, as your family are so particular in regard to others, that you never indulge in the custom of running in, every now and then, to Dorrow a dish, or a pan, or a towel, or a little lard, molasses, meal or salt, do you ? I feel sure you do not; but, as you say, it is best to have these things agreed upon and perfectly understood beforehand. ” Mrs. Fieshly assured her that she never borrowed, and was now contented to ask but a few more cautionary questions ; and then, with smiles and courtesies, Mrs. Prod withdrew, declaring that she had little doubt that Mr. Prod ■would take the rooms. Mrs. Fleshly, waited and wished in anxious expectation for several days. She was very eager to let those six apartments, she little cared which six; but Mrs. Prod never came back. Mrs. Fleshly, when all hope was gone, was sorry that in her craving to be safe she had lost her surety. She felt that she had been much too overnice. Then she wished and now she wanted. She tried to console herself by the supposition : “ That minx was too perfect to be real!” _ But, on the other hand, Mrs. Prod scornfully related the interview to her husband, glad of the timely inquisitiveness which had led them to look elsewhere for parties not too exacting to prove agreeable. “ I saw that she was very particular, Prod,” she concluded, with animation ; “ but I think I gave her about as good as she sent.”

The Repudiators in Virginia.

Just before the attack on the President’s life, he was visited by Gen. Wickham and a delegation of the best Republicans in Virginia, who had given to the party a character and standing which it does not enjoy in any other Southern State. They protested iu the strongest terms against the corrupt coalition which Republican ofTicehoiders like Lewis, Brady and Rives had formed, as ruinous to the parly, wnd destined, if successful, to strike a serious blow at the public credit. On that occasion the President answered the address by saying: “ No Republican should'touch any party tainted with repudiation.” Subsequently the Republican Convention met at Lynchburg, and, being controlled by the ring of officeholders, it ivas sold out deliberately to the Malione repudiators, who had previously put a ticket of their own in nomination. A more disgraceful bargain in politics was never before witnessed. A faction of 31,000 mongrels, calling themselves Readjusters, absorbed tlie distinct Republican organization, which had given Garfield 84,000 votes last November. This foul transaction rested solely upon the bargain and sale by which the Republicans had obtained Mahone’s vote in the Senate, and had thereby procured control of the Senate committees for the time being. Messrs. Hoar and Dawes and other Republican Senators attempted to justify this infamous business 1 y pretending that they were favoring a movement to regenerate the South, when they were only striving to secure preferment for themselves and their political associates by the aid of Mali one. They allowed him to dictate the nominations for Secretary and Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, upon condition that he in return for that bribe would give them the committees. This contract was fully revealed in the debates at the extra session.

The canvass in Virginia is now in active progress. All the disguises of ‘ * free elections, fair count and public schools,” which Dawes, Hoar and others rang the changes upon in the 'Senate, are thrown off by the coalition candidates. The only issue they discuss is the Rieddleberger bill by which $13,000,000 of honest debt, incurred by civil war and expended for public improvements, are openly and undisguisedly repudiated out and out, while no trustworthy provision is made for the remainder of the admitted debt, nor for the payment of interest upon it. If the Mahone ticket should succeed, with the Legislature in the hands of the Repudiators and a venal Court of Appeals to do their bidding, the debt of the State would become a great job. Indeed, that is one of the strongest elements of the campaign on -Mahone’s side, for success means addition, division and silence between a gang of brokers, who would negotiate the arrangement, and the Mahone ring, who would dictate the terms and packet fortunes. While the President is lying at death’s door, advantage is taken of his infirmity to dishonor the declaration that “no Republican should touch any party tainted with repudiation.” The large power of the Postoffice Department is turned over to Mahone. Honorable Republicans, white and black, faithful to all their trusty have been turned out of office, for no other reason than that they refused to support the coalition organized by Marshal Lewis, and Brady and Rives, Collectors of Internal Revenue, the conspicuous managers of the Lynchburg surrender. The patronage of the Treasury and of the Interior Department has been turned over in the same way, so that Mahone goes before the pebple of Virginia substantially with the support of the Cabinet. Superadded to this influence he is backed by the powerful Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corporation, of which Huntington, of the Pacific Central monopoly, is the directing mind. Mr. Huntington wants votes in the Senate, and Mahone belongs to the combination, of which the former may be properly called the representative man. He it was who knew how to* conquer the prejudices of French, late Auditor of Railroad Accounts, and thus to save the Central Pacific millions justly due the Government, at least until the Supreme Court shall decide against him, if the treachery of French should be finally reversed. The administration stands before the public in this Virginia contest as openly supporting repudiation and corporate monopoly, both of which are distinctly represented in the person of the jobber Mahone. And it will be held to account for this shameful interference in a local election. —New 1 ork Sun.

Religion, soof ten the pretextof secular ambition, was made the ground of strife ; and an obscure quarrel of some Greek and Latin monks about the holy places of Palestine, with which the Turks had not meddled, served to excuse the attempt to appropriate an empire. The Emperor Nicholas demanded on this ground the control over all members of the Greek Church residing in the Turkish domimons-a demand naturally rejected by the Porte.

“Soda Water.”

The beverage popularly known as soda water is so named because it was formerly made of bicarbonate of soda or baking-soda ; and, in the East, bicarbonate of soda is still largely employed; the manufacturers claiming that no cheaper ingredient can be furnished that can so well serve their purpose. It is said the basis of all fermented beverages now manufactured is mostly made from sulphuric acid and ground limestone, and not “marble-dust,” as is generally supposed. It is ground to the consistency of flour in a powerful steam mill and passed through a sieve; the finer it is ground the greater the quantity of gas that will be produced. By the time it is well screened it is almost pure carbonate of lime, and is then poured into an air-tight metallic vessel, denominated a generator, and saturated with sulphuric acid. By the union of gas and lime the sulphate of gypsum is formed, and the carbonic gas is eliminated. Afterward the sulphate of gypsum is blown out of the generator, the gas is passed through the pipes to another vessel, when it is passed through the water, for the purpos.e of freeing it of the presence of oil of vitriol or any other noxious gas. From the gasometer the gas is passed into portable fountains, containing filtered water; for it is known that water at a low temperature will absorb its own volume of carbonic acid gas, and the colder the water the more gas it will absorb. This is the reason why portable fountains are always kept in cool cellars. — Grocer’s Bulletin. Mr. E.

Butter from Cotton-Seed Oil.

Two gentlemen of this city, after experimenting for several months, have at last discovered or invented a method of making excellent butter out of cottonseed oil. Being of a purely vegetable nature, it will not have the enemies to combat that so vigorously and rancorously assail the oleomargarine, which is manufactured from animal oils. The inventors propose to make two grades of this vegetable butter, which they claim to be far superior to all other kinds of artificial butter yet made, and at the same time profess that they will be able to sell it at a much less price. After a series of trying and vexatious experiments a coloring matter was discovered that gives the article a most exquisite yellow tint, equal to that assumed by the finest New York butters. —New Orleans Democrat. •

Year by year the British army, once the most beautifully-clad and brilliant-ly-equipped in the world, loses something in picturesqueness. Feathers and epaulettes are gone, and, except with the hussars, lace of gold or silver has all but disappeared. Such is the rage for economy and utility that every button, save such as maybe absolutely necessary to keep his clothes upon his back, has vanished from tbe soldier’s tunic. The marines are still permitted half a dozen such ornaments on the skirts of theii tunics, but it is enough to make soldiers despondent and civilians smile to observe how button after .button is cut off the uniforms of both cavalry and infantry Two are all that we now allowed at tne

Repnblican Love for the Boy in Blue.

The devotion* of the JtepubfcdMuparty to the boy in blue has often been the theme of admiring comment. In Chicago, for instance, all the Federal officeholders, every last one of them, would have been boys in blue if they had ever happened to have been in the army. Congress passed a law to show the party’s devotion to the gallant defenders of their country, requiring that preference be given in tha departmental appointments to Union soldiers, but was careful at the same time not to affix any penalty for the violation of the law. Somehow, the Union soldiers themselves do not appreciate this discrimination in their behalf. Largely because it is wholly theoretical. They have formed an association in Washington for the purpose of ascertaining why the law is practically a dead letter. They have found it out. Of the heads of departments not one was ever seriously a Union soldier. Bob Lincoln went down to City Point once and looked or. in a perfunctory way for a few weeks. The others remained safely at home, and, now that they have charge of departments in which the boy in blue is to have the best show, they proceed to look after their cousins, their sisters and tlieir aunts. In tracing the cause for the neglect of their comrades, the association of Union soldiers finds that there are 500 families employed in the Government service of Washington, fathers, wives, sons, daughters, all on the pay-roll of single departments, and this in violation of the law prohibiting the employment of married Old Kirkwood, of the Interior, has six relatives in that department. Postmaster General James has seen that the Jameses do not suffer. Green B. Baum has twelve relatives in the Department of Internal Kevenue, including two brothers and one son. Hunt, of the Navy, has put three sons of his in that department and one in the Pension Bureau. French, of the Treasury, has twelve relatives under lam. Tyner, of the Pos£dffice, has four. The officers of the soldiers’ association report this as one of a hundred like cases: “A certain United States Senator has a ‘lady friend’ who has been on the pay roll of the Postoffice Department for several years, but who has not been at the department two weeks altogether since her appointment. She has been receiving $75 per month right along. When the mLninistration changed and Mr. James Wfcame Postmaster General, this Senator sent word to his friend, advising her that she had better report for duly, which she did ; and, subsequently, the Senator succeeded in having her salary raised from S9OO to $1,200 per year. The appointee reported at the department regularly for a few days, and then discontinued going to her office except to draw her salary oa the first day of each month, which she lias continued to do ever since. ” Siere are * Washingtonians emoyed in the departments,- nearly every one of whom"was a babe ; iq arms during the war. would be bootless to go through the 'whole list. Enough has been ptesent(& to detnoilsirate the deep love of the Republican party for the gallant boy in blue. —Chicago Times.

Music-rounding'.

I don’t like your chopped music, .any Tray, says Oliver Wendell Holmes. That woman—she lias more sense in her little finger than forty me lical societies • —Florence Nightengale—says, that the music you pour out is good for the sick, but music you pound out isn't. Not that exactly, but something like it. 1 have been to hear some music—pounding. It was a young girl with as many white muslin flounces round her as the planet Saturn has rings, who did it. She gave the music-stool a twirl and fluffed down on it like a whirl of soapsuds in a hand-basin. Then she worked her wrists and her hands, to limber ’em, I suppose, and spread out her fingers till they looked as though they would pretty much cover the key-board, from the growling end to the squeaky end. Then those hands of hers made a jump at ihe keys as if they were a couple of tigers coming down on a flock of black and white sheep, and the piano gave a great growl as if its tail had been trod on. Dead stop—so till you hear your hair growling. Then another jump and another howl, ,aa if the piano had two tails, and you had trod on both of’em at once, and then a graud clatter and a scramble, and strings of jumps, up and down, back and forth, one hand over the other, like a stampede of rats and mice, more than like anything I call music. I like to hear a woman sing, and I like to hear a fiddle sing, but the noises they hammer out of their wood and ivory anvils—don’t talk to me, I know the difference between a bullfrog and a woodthrusli.

A Sharp Barber.

Gus de Smith is not very prompt in paying his debts. He is also in the habit of getting shaved on the credit system. Yesterday he was in the barbershop getting shaved, but somehow he did not enjoy it very much, for his chin was bleeding in several places. “ What in the Hades is the matter of that razor ? I reckon it has not been sharpened in an age,” said Gus. “Idunno what’s de matter wid de razor, sah. I always shaves you wid the same razor, and I sharpened dig heah razor on de berry same day you paid me for de last shave, and jess as soon as you makes an nuder payment I’ll sharpen it some moah,” said the tonsorial artist. — TexCts Siftings. A new file should always be used with a light pressure until the very thin sharp edges are worn off, after which a heavier pressure may be used with much less danger of the teeth crumbling at the.top or breaking off, at the base. Every tilei should keep a partially-worn file to be used first on chilletLsurfaces or, gritty skin of castings, or on'a weld where borax or similar fluxes have been employed, or on the glazed surface of saws after gumming.

A TOUGH HORSE STORY. The Cincinnati Enquirer lately published the following horse story, which we give just as it appeared: “ A curious instance of sagacity in the horse occurred recently in the stables of Mr. A. Tougliman, situated on North Elm street. Mr. T. has for a long time been in the habit of using St. Jacobs Oil, the Great German Remedy, in his extensive stables. Among Mr. T.’s many Horses is a great, powerful Canadian draught horse. This animal in course of time got so that that he knew the St. Jacobs Oil bottle very well; so well, in fact, that one day recently on Mr. T.’s return from business, upon entering the stables he caught him licking the sore shoulder of a beast which stood beside him; the animal, giving a wise survey to his licking work, turned liis head and caught up with his teeth from the box used as its receptable a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. He threw the bottle on the floor with violence enough to break it, and then deliberately licked up the St. Jacobs Oil and applied it to the cut. Readers, we have seen the laws of association belied by beings with less sense than Toughman’s horse. The word has passed among us, and when we see a man who won’t try the Oil, we say, ‘He is worse than Toughman’s horse.’” To many this may appear as a very “ tough ” story; aud were there not proofs innumerable of the efficacy of the Great German Remedy they would he justified in so designating it. The testimony, however, is plentiful and pointed, and is from people whose long experience in matters appertaining to horseflesh entitles their opinions to profound consideration and respect.
