New Orleans Times (Dem.): If this Investigation "vindicates" Mr. Tilden, it will remove the supposed necessity of his vindication in I8S0. In that light let the Investigation pro ceed. New York Express (Dem.) : There are more rumors that Sam. Tilden is pulling ropes or wires or eomething or other. The only thing he is pull ing ut now is his boot-straps, trying to hoi-jt himself into the back door of the White House. Utica Herald (Rep.) : The Potter movement has given the Republicans one good issue upon which to go to the country In the Congressional eleo electlons, and this assault upon the army gives them another. With two such issues, thus sharply presented, there ought not to be any doubt left about the election of u Republican House of Representatives. NewYorkSun (Dem.): Mr. Hayes need not barricade the windows of his temporary home, nor arm poor Key with a horse pistol. It will not re quire an army to clear tiio White House of the presence of Fraud. It will not retjuire even a corporal's guard. A single Deputy Marshal, armed with a paper on which the will of the people Is written, can do all the work. That Is the difference between this country and Mexico. Ph iladelphia Press (Rep.) : Mr. Pot ter may thinkho Is working for bis own nomination In 1880, but lie is re ally working muoh more effectively for General Grant's election. Memphis Avalanohe (Dem.): The high destiny of the Democratic party Is to end in'pottering for the balance of the year 1S78. It Is likely to wind up business In Potter's Field. Galvestou News (Dem.) : Fate and folly seem to be working together by by iufalliblo processes in favor of the restoration of Grant to the Presiden cy. It amazing that so few Demo cratic leadera have the sagacity, like Governor Hampton, to understand the vein of conversation which runs through American character and eu- ters into the texture jof Amerioau so ciety. Its instinct, when alarmed by agitations and commotions which seem to threaten the bonds of civil co hesion, is to invoke the aid of some calm, bold and strong nature like Grant, and invest him with the mis sion of maintaining peace and order pretty much upon his own terms. The way to make Grant President has been indicated, and the stupidity of ills Democratic enemies may by this way bring about the consummation, unless prevented by the still greater stupidity of his Republican friends. The Galveston News accounts for the disappoiutmentamong the Demo crats, as to the Democratic Congress, by saying that perhaps too much was expected of Democratic ascendency and leadership in the House. But whatever the cause, the News believes the disappointment is serious, and will tell more or less on the coming Congressional elections. Poltcngill's Xcivspapcr Directory. The number of newspapers and oth er periodicals in theUnited States, re corded In PettengiU'fl Newspaper Di rectory and Advertisers' Hand Book for 1873, is 8,183, of which there are 752 daily, 61 tri-weekly, 114 semi weekly, 6,185 weekly. Ill semi-monthly, S31 monthly, 18 bimonthly, and 61 quarterly. The arrangement of the Directory for ready reference, and for the special and general business purposes of ad vertisers, Is excellent. First we have tho general newspaper list, furnished in geographical sections, from which we find that in the i. ew .UiUgiauu oeouonB mere are vzo newspapers, of which 75 are daily, 1 tri-weekly, IS semi-weekly, 527 week ly, 7 semi-monthly, 82 monthly, 2 bi monthly and 13 quarterly.

Total, 482. iue total number, Including the papers in British America, is 8,615. The DIreotory also contains a list of all the papers, by oounties: a list of all the daily papers; a list of all the weekly and monthly papers having circulations of over 5,000 copies ; a list of religious weekly papers; a list of agricultural and horticultural publi cations, and comprehensive lists of leading European and Australian newspapers. The newest feature in the present Directory is the department devoted to descriptive sketches of some of the prominent journals of the country, and their offices. The book Is handsomely ombelished with faithful portraits of 8. M. Pet tengill, the publisher ; Geo. W. Childs, Hon. Ba3'ard Taylor, Bret Harte, the late James Gordon Bennett, and the late Samuel Bowles. The advertising pages at the end of the Directory, are occupied with an nouncements that are important to newspaper men, printers and pub lishers only. The preparation of the Directory bears evidence of extensive and careful labor on the part of the compiler, and the result is a book which Is indispensable to newspaper publishers, and to that large class of business men who advertise in news papers. Any reader who would know the extent and rapidity .of the growth and development of the newspaper enterprise of America, or, indeed of the world, will consult Pettengill's Newspaper Directory. The advice's and knowledge impart ed to advertisers in the opening pages of the Directory, reflect credit upon the auspices under which it is sent forth. There Is frankness and earn estness in these admonitions, which will not be lost upon those who are wise enough to avail themselves of them. THE AR5IY. General Gibbon on Bonndlng niug's Scheme to Rcdueo tho Army. Ban- General Gibbon, of the army, has written a very pointed letter to Bound ing Banning, the greatarmy reducer. In regard to the misreprpsentatipus made lu the recent speech of Bau uing's regarding the reduction of the army. In his letter he says: 'In your general statement that our army is over officered, you state the ratio at about one officer to eleven, but in sup porting your statement by referring to the muster rolls of the army you select special cases, and by means of thorn make the facts to appear even worse than they are, and then say that-this simple statement of the con dition of our army, under its present organization, presents an unanswera ble argument in favor of reorganiza tion. To make the disproportion be tween the officers and men greater you enumerate noncommissioned offi cers witli officers, forgetting or ignor ing the fact that every one of the for mer and mostof the latter are Boldiers with rifles in their hands, who per form exactly the same duty, in on In dian fight as a private soldier.' It seems that Banning took Gibbon's regiment, theSeventh Infantry, as an example in his speeoh to prove the truth of his assertion, and took its muster-roll at a date Immediately af ter Its fight with the Nez Perces In dians hist summer, in which fight about one-half the regiment were either killed or wounded. General Gibbon goes on to say: If a gentle man like yourself, occupying the high and responsible position of Chair man of the Military Committee of the United states House of Representa tives, sproads broadcast over the coun try such partial statements as these, giving outy onejside of the question, and re'presentingjthe depleted condi tion of the Seventh Infantry as the result of our defective organization, Instead of being, as it was, the imme diate effect of a severe Indian battle, how is it possible for the people of the United States to gain knowledge of the aotual condition of the army ? I know of no better way than for those who are cognizuut of real facts, to adopt the same plan that you have made uso of, and make an appeal through the publio pres's of the coun try, and.every fair-minded man, Iain sure, will see the absolute necessity for what is termed an open letter, since if I were to write to you a cfosed ope, it would never see the light, simply because it oontains matter which, as a lawyer, you must con demn as not on your side of the ques tion.' A QUAINT AND CURIOUS TE0PLE. Peculiar Observance of Easter by the Pennsylvania!! Moravians. Bethlehem, Pa., April 21. Out on the Lehigh River, within easy reaoh of New York by the New Jer sey Central, and under the shaddow of the hills which shuts in this charm ing valley, lies Bethlehem, the oldest of the Moravian settlements in this oountr3. It is curious that so quaint and odd a town as this is, one which presents so much that is interesting and antiquated, and which Is at the same time so readily accessible from New York, should be so little known and visited. The history of the Uni ted Brethern, from the very founding of the sect, has been a romantic one full of instances of bitter persecution and heroic martyrdoms, of patient en durance and purest missionary zeal, of lives marked by the simplest Christian virtues, as by the noblest and purest ambitions. Tho halo of all this must of necessity cling to the sect, and those who visit this, the earl iest field of their missionary labors, must oome somewhat under the influ ence of it; but besides this, there is muoh in the ritual of the ohurch "which is wonderfully poetio and im pressive, and, so far as I know, whol ly unlike the ceremonies of any oth er religious body In the country. It is perhaps beoause they have preserv ed many of the customs and traditious of their fatherland in their entirety that there is suoh singular attractive ness about them. And their Easter services are among the most striking which they have, and the most im pressive In theirsimplioity and ten der poetry. Going to Bethlehem, and staylug at one of the qulat little hotels there, one is aroused early on Easter morn ing by the sound! of musio. This year it was at 2 o'clock that we heard the trombones of the ohoir playing, up In the belfry of the churoh, an old chorale, to awake the sleeping world and, in accordance with an old Ger man custom, to proclaim that 'Christ is risen.' Heard from a distance, through the sttllne33. of the night, there is something wonderfully beau tiful and touching in this first an- nounoement of our Lord's resurrec tion. Again at 3 o'clock, and then at 4, the playing of the trombones was repeated, and at a quarter to five the first service took place in the churoh. And there is another custom which, among some of the older members at least, is still preserved, that of saying to each one w'hom they meet on Eas ter morning on their way to church, Christ is risen,' and they who are greeted thus, reply, 'Christ is risen, Indeed.' The churoh Itself was crowd ed, people coming from all the neigh boring country to this service, and by 2 or 3 o'clock could be heard driving into town. The pulpit was prettily decorated with flowers and greens, but that was all. The early service in the churoh was in English, and last ing rather over half an hour; there were prayer?, reading of the Bible, and hymns sung to noble old German chorales, all full of the bright and ju bilant Easter spirit. But with the close of the service in the ohurch came the most impressive part of the ceremonies of the day. The sun had not, yet risen, but the daylight was fast breaking, when headed by the trombones, tho whole congregation formed in procession and walked out to 'God's Acre' the burial ground there among the graves of those that they had loved and lost, to holda ser vice of rejoicing, and to testify to their firm confidence in the resurrec tion of the dead. A more ibveiy scene I have hardly ever seen the pure, fresh morning air, the birds twitter ing and singing among the trees, the grass all studded with blooming vio lets, the distant bills and trees touch ed by the growing sunlight these, with the flood of Easter thoughts and memories which rushed in on one, lent a beauty and imptessiveness to the service which It is hard to convey any idea of. The service Itself was short, with, as before, some prayers, some Bible lessons, and much sing ing, but grand In its pure simplicity ; and when it was over the congrega tion dispersed, many of them going about decorating the graves of their friends with flowers and vines. iV.

Now is the time for careful house keepers to go through their closets and trunks and see that there are no moth-millers about. Don't forget this.

Procure a basin of sweet skimmed milk and a sponge, and pour the milk freely over the Bpots and then absorb it again with the sponge, repeating the operation two or three times, un til the milk Is no longer blackened, and then wash the milk from the spot wan a clotn and water, and not a stain remains behind. Instead of throwing away the pieces ofsoap which become too small for convenient handling, make a square flannel bag of suitable size; leave one end partially open, and put in the pieces as they collect; when It is full baste up the opening, and it makes a nice bath-tub arrangement. Another wa' Is to add a little water, set them in a tin on the stove, and let them simmer slowly. When cold you will have tolerable good soft soap, just the thing for putting in your wash boiler or washing tins with. Or by evaporating part of the water you may get the soap hard enough to be molded into gmall cakes, whioh can be dried for use. A Few Dbops of Ammoxia Will Save Much Wobk. Housekeepers, purchase a good supply of ammonia to use in home Cleaning. The hus band has everything that will lighten his labors. Now, suppose his wife had her bottle of spirits of ammonia to use ; she takes her basin of water aud a clean cloth, just puts on a few drops of the fluid, and wipes off all the dirt; it is worth more than a half day's hard labor, and does not hurt tiie paint either. She could put a few drops in her dish water, and see how easily the dishes could be cleaned ; a few drops on the sponge would clean all the windows in the sitting-room, makincr them shine like crvstal. It would take the stains off the teaspoons too, and a tablespoonful in the mop pail would do more towards washing up the kitchen floor than ten pounds of elbow grease applied to the mop handle. A housewife has just as much right to make her work easy and expeditions as her husband has. If she does not do it, the fault is her own in a great measure. A Pretty Compliment. That was a pretty compliment the little seven year old boy paid his mother. A con versation had been carried on for quite a while oa a marriage to take place soon, and the merits of the bride were discussed quite freely, and also the probabilities of her making a good wife. He had evidently been an attentive listeuer, though he had not been noticed. The company were surprised to hear him remark, as he leaned over to kiss his mother: "Ma, when I get big enough I'm going to marry a lady just like you. Wouldn't you marry.me, ma?" queried the lit tle fellow. During the month of May there were received at the port of Buffalo, New York, 10,107,433 bushels of graiu; and 13,005,000 were shipped therefrom by canal. A Dutchman was about to make a journey to his fatherland and wishing to say "goodbye," to a friend, extend ed his hand and said: "VelU off I don't koompack, liulloJ' HOW INDIANS TRADE. Their Idea of Measuring and Weigh ing. The Manitoba correspondent of tho New York Evening Post, writes: 'Sometimes, however, the trade does not go on so smoothly. When the stock of pemmican and robes is small the Indians object to seeing their pile go for a little parcel of tea and sugar. The weighing-balance and steelyard are their especial object of dislike. Failing to comprehend the nature of those machines, or how a small quan tity of one article may equal a large quantity of another, they propound oonumdrums like thio: 'For why you put on one side tea or BUgar, and on the other side a little bit of iron ? We don't know what medicine that is; but, look here, put on onesideof that thing that swings a bag of pemmican and put on the other side blankets and tea aud sugar, and then, when the two sides stop swinging, you take the pemmican and we will tako the blank etsandtea; that will bo fair, for one side will be as big as the other.' "This very luminous idea elicits universal satisfaction all around. Ev ery Indian of them grunts his unqual ified approvul, until the trader quiet ly observes: 'Well let it be as you say. We will make the balance swing between the pemmlca and the blankets, but we will carry out the idea still further. You will put your beaver and marten skins on one side, I will put against them on the other my blankets, and my gun and ball and powder; then, when both sides are level you will take the ball and powder and blankets, and I will take the marten and the rest of the fine furs!' This unique proposition sud denly illumines the mind of the in genuous Indian on tho question of weighing-balances and steelyards, and after some deliberation it is firmly re solved to abide by the old plan of let ting the white trader decide the .weight himself in his own way: for it is clear that the steelyard is a very great medicine which no brave man can understand, and which can only be manipulated by a white medicine man.'' Outdone by a Boy. A lad in'Boston, rather small for his years, works in an office as errand boy for four gentlemen who do busi ness there. One day the gentlemen were chaffing him a little about being so small, and said to him : "You never will amount to much, you never can do muoh business, you are too small." The little fellow looked at them. "Well," said he, "as small as I am, I oan do sometiiing which none of you four men do." "Ah, what is that?" said they. "I don't know as I ought to tell you," he replied. But they were axious to know, and urged him to tell what ho could do that none of them wero able to do. "J" can keep from swearing " Bald the little fellow. There were some blushes on four manly fuoes, and there seemed to be very little auxiety for further information oil the point. Many a terrible tragedy orlgluates in the careless use of kerosene, but one of the. Baddest fatalities of the week turns on the use of stove pol ish. Miss Menzel, of Williamsburg, N. Y., was married a few days ago to Mr. J. H. Cole, of Greenpoint, and was installed in a new and handaome Iy furnished house. Tho stove In her sitting-room, on tho second floor, was to her mind, a little shabby, and, pro curing some liquid polish, she pro ceeded to improve its appearance. She poured the polish on the stove and it took lire, the fierce blaze completely encircling her. Her clothing was nearly all burned off when her hus band reached her, and she died the nest morning. These stories have a terrible warning, but we fear will have but littlo effect. An accident of likeoharaoter, resulting in death, w.as reported in this oi ty yesterday. Inter Ocean. America is not fortunate In the Im portation of trees and birds. The al anthus tree is an abomination, and the English sparrow is an immense nuisance, considering the size of tho lazy, quarrelsome little humbug. He Is the open enemy of every singing bird, and drives them from tlfe haunts where they have formerly raised their young and delighted us with their songs and pretty ways. We are in fa vor of turning the American boys loose on the English sparrows, and should rejoice when the last has been destroyed. Inter Ocean. In Tasmania there is an lnseotlvor- Lous plant which grows in the crevices of rooky ground, is about six inches in height, with a single vertical stem from which project one or two dozen small footstalks, carrying small discs about one-half inch in circumference, fringed with tentacles. A stioky sub stance exudes from the ends of the tentacles and filaments, which effect ually retain a fly and at once convey j it to the oentre of the flower, which closes tightly over it, and, according to the report, tho fly is "digested." m i m- Great labor and ingenuity are ex pended on the production of the Bank of England notes. They, are made from pure new white linen, and for 200 years have been manufactured In in the same family. The printing is done by a most curious process in the bank building. There is an elaborate arrangement for.insuring that no note shall be like any other In existence; consequently there never was a dupli cate of a Bank of England note except by forgery. m Dynamite was fnyented by Nobel, in 1S66, and 13 called in this country giant powder. It consists of nitro glycerine absorbed by some porous, Inert solid, usually InfuBorlal earth. It is very extensively used in this country for blasting and a variety of other purposes, and tons of It are an nually used. 1 The gentleman who attracted atten tion in churoh last week by crying out "Holy Moses," had no intention of disturbing the congregation. He had been taoking down carpets the day be fore, and just as he sat down In his pew he suddenly remembered that he had half a paper of tacks in his ooat skirt pocket. We make this explana tion in justice to his family, who are highly respeotable. m i m Mr. Stephen Ryder, of Christian Hook, L.

SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE For CATARRH A. purely vegetable distillation entirely unlike all other remedies. IN tho preparation of this remarkable remedy every ueru, plant, and bark is subjected to dis tillation, whereby tho essential medical prlncinlo la obtained In vapor, condensed and bottled. What remains In tho still Is inert, valueless, and totally nnflt for usn In an organism so delicate ns tho nasal passages. Yet all snufls are Insoluble compounds of woody fibre; all tinctures, saturated solutions. SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE Is a local and constitutional remedy, and Is applied to tno nasai passages Dyinsntuauon.mas auaying inflammation and pain and at onco correcting, cleansing-, and purifying the secretions. Internally Administered, It acts npon tho organs of circulation, keeps tho skin moist, and neutralizes the acid poison that has found Its way into the stomach and thenco into the blood. Thus a cure progresses In both directions, and It does not seem possible for human ingenuity to dcvlao a more rational treat ment. SURPRISING CUKE. GentJemat, About twelve years ago. while travelling with Father Kemp's Old Folks Concert Troupe as a tenor singer, I took a severe cold and was laid up at Newark, N. J. This cold brought on asevcro attack of Catarrh, which I battled with every known remedy for four weeks without avail, and was finally obliged to give np a most desirable position and return home, unable to sing a note. For three years afterwards I was unable to sing at all. The first attack of Catarrh had leftmv nasal or gans and throat so sensitive that the slightest cold would bring on a fresh attack, leaving mo pros trated. In this way I continued to sulTer. The last attack, tho severest I ever had, was terrible. I suf fered the most excruciating pain in my head, was eo noarso as to do scarcely aoie to spcaic, ana conghed Incessantly. I thought I was going into quick consumption, and I firmly bellerc that had these symptoms continued without relief they would havo rendered mo on easy victim. When in this distressing condition, I commenced the use Of S-tNFOED'S ItADICAL CtTKH FOB CATXEEU. VCIJ reluctantly, I confess, as I had tried all the adver tised remedies wlthoutbcnelH. The flrstdoseofthU wonderful medicine gave mo tho greatest relief. It is hardly possible for one whose head aches, eyes ache, who can scarcely articulate distinctly on ac count of the choking accumulations In his throat; to realize how much relief I obtained from the first application ofSAsrono's Kadicai. Cckk. Under Its influence, both internal and external, I rapidly recovered, and by an occasional use of the remedy since, have been entirely free from Catarrh, for the urss tunc in twelve years, Respectfully yours, GEO.
