It is said that a piece of zinc placed on the reals, of a hot stove will clean out the stovepije. The vapor produced carries off the sxxt by chemical dVconijosition. The Mirror-ope describes a pretty exjeriKient. Upon a klip of glas put a drop of liquid auric chloride or argentic nitrate, with half a grain of metalic zinc in the auric chloride and copper in the silver. A growth of exquisite gold and silver ferns will form Itcneath the eye. The one-wheel, or "bicycle," railroad, as it is called, says Industrial American, apiears likely to have an actual trial before loan. The nominal inventor claims that he can easily attain 1 or more miles per hour without difficulty, as he will be free from many of the resistances which are encountered on the Htandard roads. J'erhar the greatest unforeneen difficulty which will be met is that of icd pressure. In perfectly calm weather

the resistance will amount to fifty pound Ir square foot at that speed- It is erfectly safe to say that with a high wind the resistance alone might easily require 2..VK) horso-

It is "made of gutta percha, sulphur, raw cotton, zinc white, kolkothar, and oxide of antimony. The proportions are varied according to the purposes to be served, but the material is said to be fully equal to the animal product. A cement very much used at the present day in China and Japan is made from rice. It is only necessary to mix rice flour intimately with water and gently simmer the mixture over a clear tire, when it readily forms a delicate and durable cement which answers all the purjoscs of common jaste. The London Lancet mentions the arrangement of a person who makes himself deaf to all noises by the simple exjedient of taking a small piece of sjermaceti ointment, not too soft, about the size of a pea, and wrapping, it in a tiny square of thin, limp cotton cloth, tying the corners together with thread, to make a small plug. One of these pressed' gently in each ear shuts out all sound. Thomas Taylor, M. P., microscopist of the Department of Agriculture, gives the following test for butter: If a few drops of sulphuric acid be combined with a small quantity of pure butter the butter will assume first an opaque white yellow color, and after the lapse of about ten minutes it will change to a brick red. Oleomargarine made ot beef fat, when treated in the sarue manner, changes at first to a clear amber, and alter a lapse of about twenty minutes to a deep crimson." The host shining black ink, used for mourning paer, and the manufacture of which has, up to the present time, been kept a secret by the makers, maybe prepared according to the l'apier Zeitung, of lampblack, borax and shellac. The ink is made as follows: In one litre of hot water sixty grammes of borax are dissolved, and to this solution three times the quantity of shellac is added, the whole being constantly stirred. Should the lustre not be satisfactory, more shellac is added. Fine French silks, according to the American Machinist, have ken "iiniorted" from I 'at tenon, N. J., for a number of years. Latterly Vienna bent-wood furniture has been imported from Charleston, S. C, and the business has been so brisk that another factory, to make 2uO hundred bent-wood chairs a day, is to be erected at once in Columbia, S. C." There are many people who will not buy dress goods or hue furniture of American manufacture, if they know it; hence the deception. When they" discover that silks and bent-wood furniture can be made of as pood quality in the United States as anywhere in the world it surprises them. A Scotch gentleman of keen observation has found out that Atlantic tides serve the pur ose of natural storm warnings with a remarkable degree of reliability. Writing to Symons' Meteorological Magazine, he states that in the Hebrides "the waters of the Atlantic rise abnormally high for forty-eight hours and downward before the arrival of a cyclone, the height and time-period varying with the force of the approaching disturbance." He therefore suggest J. hat if the daily records of the tides were faithfully kept and reported they would aflord data for forecasting storms with greater certanty than by the barometric gradient now prevailing. There can be no doubt that tidal observations would often give timely notice of a coming storm lefore the sluggish barometer falls lowenough to awake apprehension. It is not uncommon when West India hurricane are advancing west ward ly toward the Floriia coast for them to announce their approach two days or more ahead of their arrival by unusually high tides at Charleston, and even on the upw?r North Carolina coast. Not many people of those who have witnessed during pyrotechnic displays the bursting of those wonderful bombs which sent out showers of gold and parti-colored stars, have any idea of how they are made and fired. The principle i the same as in the militar shell, the casing being made of paper instead of heavy metal. Two hollow hemispheres are charged with innumerable conical-shaped stars made from compressed coloring matter, and when the halves are joined together and paper sealed they are thrown from a mortar. Unless the stars are very carefully arranged they are apt to detonate by the force of the powder exploded in the mortar. The distance to be traveled by a shell before the stars shall break is regulated with a fuse running four, five, ten, fifteen or twenty second. This? fuse, which is a necessary adjunct to all fancy fireworks, is a simple contrivance. It is made by soaking ordinaay cotton wick in a comjound of meal i-owdcr. gum arabic, alcohol and water, and is very combustible. At tb.e moment the shell leaves the mortar the fuse ianites, and is gradually consumed until the rianies nach an interior cavity of the shell holding a charge of iowder. Instant explosion ensues, the shell breaks with a loud retort and sheds the burning stars in a erfect shower of beautiful color. BLAINE WRITES A LETTER.

Aside from your eminent fitness iolitieally, and your complete equipment intellectually for the canvass thus devolved ujon you, I confess that there are some iersonal features connected with ycur candidacy which deeply enlist my interest. When'l entered Washington College (in my native county in Pennsylvania) the fame of your father, who belonged to the preceding generation, was still fresh and still honored as one of the rcost brilliant students who had ever left our Alma Mater. At the same time and for many preceding years your maternal grandfather, John Sergeant, was the I'ennsylvanian honored before all others by the Whigs of that State Clarum et yenera ile nomen. Many forms of assumed aristoc racy are justly eondehited, and even derided, in a iopular government, but aristocracy of talent is one whoso parents may be indefinitely multiplied with safety to the Republic. If Yirginians retain their traditional resject for good blood and brains they can demonktrate it by giving their ballots for John Sergeant Wise. Your canvass will, I am sure, be brilliant, and I bellet, it will be Victorious. Faithfully your friend. J.VMf S (i. 1JLAIXE. An Indignant Juryman. Norwich rulletin.

PRINCESS BEATRICE.

Her Marriage to I'rinre Henry of Hatten berg. Osiorxe, July 23. The marriage of Prin cess Beatrice, the youngest daughter of Jueen Victoria, to rrince Henry of Battenberg, is to take place to-day at St. Mildred's Church, Whippingham, six miles from Osborne. The weather is lovely and a gentle breeze is blowing, which serves to temper the heat. At sunrise thousands of flags were ran up on the Venetian masts that line the route to be taken by the marine procession. Flags of all nations float from the house tops. The river and bay are full of yachts brilliant with bunting and presenting from the land an enchanting appearance. The royal yachts stand out prominently. The royal standard is at their main-heads and they are decked with wreaths, evergreens and flowers in pro lusion. Over 100 guests of the Queen breakfasted this morning in the palace at Osborne. At 11 the guests started for the church. The officials present, who are resplendant in court dre3 and wear glittering orders upon their breasts, present a peculiar appearance in royal carriages passing along country roads. The Prince of Wales and the members of his familv landed from the vacht and were driven to Osborne. The i'rince of Wales w ears the uniform of a Field Marshal. His son Victor is dressed in the uniform of an army officer and his son George in that of an orhcer of the navy. The Ninety-third Highlanders guard the approaches to the church, while the road traversed by the procession is lined by volunteers. The sailors oeionging to the royal yachts nave taken position between the volunteers and Highlander?!. The Queen lias been with Princess Beatrice throughout the morning. The chief State officials are now preparing to direct the papear.try. The invited guests from London arrived at Portsmouth at 11 o'clock and wore conducted in a royal yacht to Cowes. The lmys composing the choir of St. George's C'h'urch at Windsor, also arrived and will take part in the musical services at bt. Mildred. l:ÜO n. m. The stream of court officials going to the church is increasing. The crowds of people who have come to witness the pageant is now immense and at the palance gates they stand ten deep. The grand stand is also crammed with ieopie. l he Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dean of Windsor and the other clergymen who will assist in the ceremony have arrived at the church, which is already thronged. The Princess of Wales and the bridesmaids, dressed in white gossamer material, are much admired. A salute of twenty-one guns is now being fired from the solent. 2 p. m. The marriage ceremony is ended. A salvo of guns from the guard-ships have just announced the fact. The bridal procession started from the palace at 1 :15 o'clock. Loyal and enthusiastic shouting and cheering greeted the pageant as it emerged from the gates, and the demonstration was taken up and continued by the eople along the whole route to the church. Five bands of music, osted at different points on the route, played at intervals. Inside the church denii-toilettes were enjoined for ladies who slept last night on the island. The guests who arrived from London to-day were icrniitted to api?ar in morning dress. When all was in readiness, the choir, followed by the clergy, pased to the altar to prepare to receive the bride. The Queen left the palace for the church shortly before 1 o'clock. The procession made its entrance into the church along a covered way through the church yard. The Equerries passed in first; then followed the foreign guests, and then the royal family. When all had entered the organist played Hand's occasional overture. All the royal ladies present wore dresses of white gossamere silk. The Prince and Trinces of Wales did not join in the procession. Thev loth remained at the entrance to the church. Prince Henry, the bridogroom, wore a white uniform, and on the front of his coat were numerous orders. He passed into the church accompanied by the members of his royal house. The bridesmaids left the vestry, in which t'iev had been waiting, for the entrance to the churchyard to receive the bride. The arrival of the Queen with the bride was heralded with cheers and a royal salute. The pijers played the march, "Highland Laddie," and the Spitzhe'ad and the Solent guns thundered a grand salute. The Queen entered the church on the bride's left. The I'rince of Wales was on the right of the bride. The bridesmaids followed. Princess Beatrice bowed to the guests on either side as she advanced up the aisle. The scene as the Queen, dressed in black, with lace, and wearing a miniature diamond crown, entered the church, was very impressive. The bride looked very pretty, he was dressed in ivory satin, with lace. Her hair was artistically arranged, and its effect was made more charming by a wreath of orange blossoms which she wore. The Princess of Wales wore a costume of white eau de nil. Prince Henrv stood at the south side of the altar, and awaited the bride. The lrincess walked with a firm step up the aisle. After Wagner's bridal march had been played the Archbishop of Canterbury read the service, the bride and bridegroom responding in clear tones, which were heard throMghout the building. The Queen gave the bride awav. At the close of the services Mendelssohn's anthem was sung. The Queen, I'rince Henry and the relatives on loth sides kissed the bride. As the bridal party left the church, "Mendelssohn's Wedding March" was heard. The dress which Prim-ess Beatrice will wear in starting on her bridal trip is of figured China era e. The top is caught up on the left side by long loops with ends of cream moire ribbon. She will also wear a dolman of the same material, having twosquureends in front trimmed w ith Irish lace. The bridesmaids' dresses were of embroidered silk muslin over ivory Jsatin, and petticoats of flounces of Mechlin lace. ALL. AKOUM) THE HOUSE. Disinfect ants Seasonable Beverages A Summer Home. (F. II. Rowley, In Goal Housekeeping. Good housekeeping offers some suggestions about disinfectants: There are many kinds some much easier of application than others, and some whose value is not disputed. For a common, cheap disinfectant, chloride of lime is good, but sulphate of iron, ordinarily known as cojperas, is probably better. For those unable to purchase or apply the others, this simple direction may be of survice: Put fifty pounds of copieras into a basket or some other iorous receptacle, and suspend i in a barrel of water; alter it has storm a day or two, use liberally of the liquid thus formed, by injuring it into vaults and drain, and over the ground alout your doors, where any filth lias been allowed to accumulate. If you cannot use it on so great a scale, dissolve a pound or two in a iail of water as you need it, and use feeely from time to time. These suggestions heeded, the hotly kept clean by frequent bathings, the food plain and well cooked, all unripe fruit and stale vegetables prohibited from the table, we may almost defy those maladies which, like diphtheria, scarlet fever, dysentery, tvphoid fever, consumption and cholera, destroy so many homes and desolate so many hearts. We need have no fear that too much care can be taken to have our homes, from cellar to garret, scrupulously clean. Until they are, we must stand responsible for the consequences that will surely follow our carelessness ami neglect. An exchanje recomends the following reciis for fCMMF.R BKVERAOES. First Put into a large ian a quarter of 'a Iound of fine fresh oat meal, six ounces of white tugar and hall a lemon cut into small

' pieces. Mix with a little warm water; then

pour over it one gallon ol boiling water, stirring all together thoroughly, and use when cold. This makes a most refreshing and strengthening drink. If preferred, raspberry vinegar, citric acid or any other flavoring may be used instead of the lemon. More oatmeal may also be used if preferred. Second Six ounces of fine oatmeal, four ounces of cocoa and eight ounces of sugar mixed gradually and smoothly into a gallon of boiling water. Use when cold. The furnishing of SI MMER. HOVSES. is described in Dcniorest's Monthly. The simple little cottages built at the smaller watering places are usually very plainly furnished, with the intention of having them ready for occupancy at any time. People do not care to risk expensive furniture in an unoccupied house, in a place usually almost deserted during the winter. Bamboo furniture is very pretty for these homes. Iron bedsteads for the chambcrs are quite popular, and when fitted with white muslin curtains they look cool and inviting. Scrim curtains are pretty, but quite as nice looking, and far les exiensive, is cheesecloth; and it can belaundried to look very well. For the parlor, and dining-room, drajory ourtains of the cheesecloth are looped each side of the window with a broad ribbon; the curtains can be trimme! with imitation antique lace if desired. Next the window red, brown, or gray shades are best, as white makes the light too daring on summer days. In the pretty home we are thinking of, straw matting covers all the floors. A wide hall runs across the house, and the dining-room oi-cns from one side, the parlor on the other. On the curtains in the parlor are pinned several small birds' nest, among them the humming-bird. The ornaments are all rutic. ' A cabinet built in one corner contains a collection of birds' eggs, some large butterflies, a hat, star-fishes and horse-shoes, and all sorts of "notions." the combined collections of the family. A small table near has a little square cloth thrown over it of marineblue flannel, in one corner of which is embroidered a crab; another has two fishes, while the third and fourth have a star-fish, or five-finger, and sea-weed. This cover is bordered with tiny sea shells. A hole is bored in each end, and they are sewed on as pendants; the whole is unique and sjoeially ajvwpriate to this little home by the sea. The umitureisa combination of bamboo and conventional, the upholstered pieces being covered with brown Holland bound with blue. The hall, in reality another room, has a most comfortable looking lounge on each side, well furnished w ith large, square pillows. Across the lower end of the hall, in the angle made by the stircase, is swung a hammock. Japanese fans embellish the walls, and Japanese lanterns are suspended from the ceilings; in the evenings when the caudles are lighted in the lanterns, the house is a perfect picture both indoors and out. The upper rooms are furnished as simply as possible. Short, siotted nnislin curtains are hung on tiny brass rods across the lower casement; these are tied back in the pretty diamond shaie. and being fastened to the window itself it can be raised or lowered without disarranging the curtain. Dark shades are used for the upjer part of the windows, and we have even seen handsome fringed towel tacked across. Outside are some pretty turkey-red screens. Resides the bureau and wardrobe in each chamber is a large old fashioned "what-not;" around the top shelf is fastened a red curtain that keeps boxes, hats and bonnets free from dust. Under each window is fastened a long, narrow box covered with rustic twigs. These boxes are filled with pansies, mignonette and other fragrant flowers whose perfume is wafted into the rcoms with every breeze. On the piazza, across the front of the house, Itoxes are set on the inner side, close to the house, and Madeira vines twined over the door and windows. Woodbine covers the trellises of the piazza, and so thickly that complete squares, like windows, have been cut to obtain a view of the ocean. Polished horns filled with dried grasses, or reeds, or with a few long peacock feathers, are pretty, suspended from the wall bv a tiny gilded chain. These little. cottages are more numerous each year, and Ieople gain far more from the few weeks spent in an inconvential place than in a crowded hotel at some fashionable resort. People's ingenuity is constantly taxed to invent something new for ornamenting grounds for lawn parties. The pretty paer shades made to represent Mowers on a, large scale are newer than Japanese lanterns and arranged with candles inside them, the immense roses, sunflowers, daisies, etc., look very attractive among the branches of trees. The glas reflectors ued with kerosene lights are unproved by ainting bright colored flowers on them, and are then fastened to trees, or piazza posts, to reflect the lights usually placed oplosite them. A variety of small lights are usually prettier than ä few of the "headlights" of locomotives that are sometimes used on large lawns. A Home Thrust. I'hiladeli'hia Iublie Ledger. Now here comes the surprising feature in the agreement or contract made by the Navy Department with Mr. Roach. The contract, while stipulating in general terms that th desatch boat shall be constructed in accordance with the acts of Congress above mentioned, including the "sea sjeed of fifteen knots," does not specifically expres? the siet d or power in any other way than by a certain "collective indicated horse power." and as to this there is a provision that if ujon the trial trip the engine should not develop the full i ower called for by the contract, and the failure should not be due to defective workmanship or materials, the ship should nevertheless be accepted by the government. That, we say, is a most surprising feature of the contract. There is no warrant for it, it is contrary to the public interest; and it overrides the law by agreeing to take a ship with a sea sjeed of less than fifteen knots, if no fault can be found with materials or workmanship. Whether it was deliberately designed to be so or not, that clause in the contract was a "heads I win and tails you lose" arrangement. Speed is the peculiar virtue and value of a "dip.".tch boat" or "clipper;" to secure that quality to at least the degree stipulated was tue object of the law; if the vessel comes up to that snoed and is stiff and staunch enough to stand the strain, she should be accepted by the Government; if she does not, no such juggle with the law as that allege! to le in the contract should be iermitted to force the ship on the Government or receive any countenance. It is time the law should be made the kuoreme rule in all the departru nt-; there is social need why it shou.J be made to control the ship "building agreements in the Navy Department, where so manv millions of money have been spent for so little to showin the way of valuable results.

For the benefit of suffering humanity, and in heartfelt gratitude at the wouderful result, I deem it only my duty to give this unsolicited testimony in favor of Swift's Specific. My wife has been afflicted with hereditary Kxzcina or Salt Itheum from her infancy. It has increased in Intensity with each succeeding sprin?, and being somewhat skilled in medicine myself, I tried every remedy I could think of for years ?arsaparilla combined with every form of Totassiae, 'Cutieura," pills of every kind, and hundreds of other remedies, lotions anil alkali washes of every known kind, hut thev all jrave only temporary relief. During the spnr.jr of lsst her lower extremities ttecame so inflamed and sore that she was obliged to keep them constantly coated with a covering of "t tiller's Kann," mixci wet and allowed to dry on. Anions: other things, she was afflicted w ith a periodical nervous headache, occurring regularly every seven days, sometimes followed by atkinterinittent fever for weeks at a time, so that her life became a burden to Jut. This spring I determined she should take S5. P. S. and follow strictly directions in regard todse, diet, ete. This was about seven 'weeks ago. After taking the tirst large bottle the disease seemed to increase: the burning, itehing and inflammation became mil tea ra bio. she, however, persevered in the use of the medicine. After taking the seeocd tottle the inflammation began to mbside. Atter the third bottle the inflammation disapiKttred, und sore sUs dried up and turned w liite and scnly.atnl finally she brushed them ofl'iu an impalpable white iowder resembling pure salt. She is now taking the sixth bottle, three tableMoonful four times daily. Every apiearance of the disease has fione. and her flesh is Incoming soft, white and smooth again : and what is more, her jt'riodical headaches have disappeared aud she i now. at X", years of age, enjoying the only pood health she'has known for upwards of 41) years.
