r GLEANINtt FKOM EXPERIENCE. BZrs. Henry Ward Beecher Gives Some Useful I tifor mixtion to the Ilouaehold. Much time and strength :.i8 needlesslj expended in cleaning the woodwork in ' our rooms, and the appearuncc ol the ?rf'ruthur fhnn im m t wuw ia wu 11 IUJUK.U | proved by it, bcc.-uise many housekeep' I era imagine that much soaD and the ex' pendi'ureof all the strength they cat spare with tbe scrubbing-brush is the only way by wbich the desired state oi cleanliness can be secured. This is r mistaken idea. By careful dusting, sc that dust cannot have a chance to settle long on any part of the woodwork, and L through dampnpss adhere closely, mucli hard work c m be avoided. And hart woik may also be lessened materially by the wiping of linger marks and flj specks with a damp cloth a3 soon a; seen. When there is not a superabundance of servants, this can be done with out any great expenditure of strength bj devoting an hour or so each d iy to one room, or by eoing over one or two rooms a week in regular rotation. In this waj the luuch-dreaded semi-annual house cleaning lo?es half its terrors, and wood and paint retain their new fresh looi much longer. In cleaning white paint, if any soap must be used, rut it into the water, anc not on the flannel used to wash it Avoid it altogether it possible. Soaj m turns white paint yellow, and if often 01 H ireely used, removes the paint itseli altogether. Hot water also yellows white paint; and unless the paint is sc dirty hs to need scrubbing, should noi be used. Cold water, with a little borax or ammonia in it, and a clean piece oi soft flannel, is far better. This way ol ^ cleaning white paint makes it look vir; p fresh, and saves soap and fuel. Oalj i enough ammonia to soften tte watei | should be used. A teaspoon!ul to twc 8 quarts of cold wat^r is sufficient. | If paint is quite dirty and greasy, warm V water?not hot?with a little more amI monia will remove the grease, unless * dropped on hot or left unnoticed a Ions time. Then, if necessary, one must re sort to the scrubbing brush, and per - haps use a littie soap. When ammonia ?or, as some think, soft-soda?is used, the paint must be rinsed, and wiped dry nr.ri nnlv a small space washed at a time before rinsmg. Ihis is a siow process, and can in almost all casvs be avoided by removing any grease spot immedately. In cleaning grained wood use clear warm water ar.d a clean white cloth. Be careful and Dot have the water hot, as that will leave white spots. Wash only a small place at a time, and wipe dry as fast as a spot is washed. Wipe with a clean whitccioth. Colored cloths stain the wood, or give a dingy look to the graining. Wet no more at a time than can be dried immediately, as drops will settle on the wood, and make the f whole look dull, old, and streaked if lefl to dry by the atmosphere. It should be rubbed till perfectly dry, changing the cloths as soon as wetIf grained wood has been very mucl: neglected, or left till greatly soiled with greasy fingers, or defaced by fly specks, a \cry little hard sonp must be put intc the first water, and that will necessitatt more cmclul rinsing and drying. But, if possible, avoid using the soap, even i) it ins.} 1 eauire a little ruore time anc labor to cleanse the wood, for soap tarnishes the varnish, however skillfully il may be applied. On no account put tht soap on the cloth. Gilding in cornices, or on any part ol the woodwork, must be carefullj guarded from being touched by the water or wet cloth when cleaning s room; iu>r should it be wiped even with the clenuest cloth; that will deaden and take off. the gilding. A feather brush will remove the dust better than anything. If the gilding unfortunately be comes spotted, only an expert at regilding can with safety attempt to renovate it. The finest furniture will be soon defaced if it do not receive careful attention very often. The very best will not be injured by washing with a soft sponge wet in clear cold water. Squeeze tbe sponge gently so that the water will drip, and then rub the furniture "?uth it, penetrating into all the tine r.?urvinr: then take a soft chamois-skin. and wipe and rub as dry as possible, taking care to dry all the moisture from every seam and crevice, even if necessary to get at it by wrapping the cli8moif-3kin on the point 01 a blunt stick or ivory crochet-needle. As the rubbing and drying proceed, when the chamois becomes quite damp, wring it between two dry cloths to absorb all the moisture possible, and polish off lastly with a clean dry skin. It' varnished worg necomes defaced, and begins to show white spots, take equal parts of linseed-oil and turpentine, put them in a vial, shake till thoroughly ^incorporated, then pour in email quantities on a soft cloth, and apply to the spots. Repeat till the color is reutored, aneVthen with another clean soft cloth wipe the mixture off carefully. In deeply carved furniture, if the dust has sealed so as to be difficult to remove, use first a stiff-haired paint-brush to get out as much of the dust as possible be fore usirg the wet SDonge; then roll the sponge up in the band, and rub it into the carving two or three times; rinse. ^ and ruh dry with the chamois, and finish off by wrappir g the dry skin over the ivory neitile, and drying every ~? damp place in the carving. This need not take more time than is occupied in tejling it. If the furniture is often dusted, it will not require any more, and it will look fresh anel bright for years cilfth Mm rrxvii ouvu vuavi If hot water or spirits of any kind have been spilled on furniture or varnished wood, it will turn white in spots, and become greatly defaced. Take two tttblespoonfuU of sweet-oil, one teaspot nlul of vinegar; shake these well together; wet a solt piece of flannel in this mi.'. lure, and rub the spots with it. They wiil then disappear, leaving the furniture as good us new.' if at any time desirable to give pine tables an oakfn color, or the woodwork of a room, it can be done without calling in a ptiinter. Wash the wood carefully in a solution of copperas dissolved in i ' sin ng lye, in the proportion of a pound of copperas to .1 gallon of lye; when the wood is dry after having been thu3 thoroughly saturated with this wash, oil it, and it will look fresh and nice for a year or two, when it can be restainert ana again oiled. Often, when not subjected ^ to hard usage, the color wi'l remain 0 undimmed for several years, only requiring to be oiled occasionally. The colo may be put on with a short-bristled brush, or, the hands heiDg protected ; with thick buckskin gloves, the wash ? V Bay be applied with a cloth, which will saturate ihe wood more evenly. It will blister the hands if tLey are not wel] protected. OH-cIoths washed in hot water or in soapsuds, or with a brush, r will Jook diney when diy, and soon crack and prel off; but wlun al ways washed in lukewarm water with a pirce cf soft old flannel, and wiped perfectly dry each lime, they last longer, and will retain their young looks dowr to old age; and it greatly improves theii appearance to use half milk and bal water Skim milk, if not sour, is just a; good as new milk. This makes oil cioth look a3 if varnihed. Neithei soap, hot water nor brush should eve: be used on it. In cleaning matting, wash twice riur ing the summer with salt and watera pint of salt to half a pailful of warn oft water; dry quickly with a clean .^of cloth. Trcr.tid in Ihi3 way, the mnttini wi;i not grow jellow. Or, if preferred apply a thin co.-1 of varnish to the mat tin-r. That will make it more durable and greatly improve its appeararce. I vanished, it wili not need washing Now and then wipe with a wet cloth and dry quickly. Use white varnish or wi i*e matting. Be sure and have th< varnish thin, or the matting will crack It often happens that the woodwork on doors, particularly near the handles will become quite dirty and tadli s?airied by the fnquent running bad? and forth by earelesd children. In thes< cases it is sometimes i'ound impossible tc remove the marks with cold watei or without the use of soap, hoiveve] V uw'esiruble. If this occurs, throw tw( tabi* spoonfuls of pulverized torax inU pail of hot water, and wash the pain with it. Do not use a brush; but i found impossible to remove the marki in this way, then soap must be resortec to. Rub the soap on theCiOth, and ther ^Sttrinkle over the t?oup dry powdcru borax, and rub the spot* faithiully, rins ing -with plenty of water.

The rccord ot service, ho eays, bui passes that of any yet made. While the weather ol the year was generally milder than usual, it was maiked r>y many storms of exceptional severity, resulting in a much larger number ol casualties within tho sphere ot station operations than in any previous year, and tho total loss of a greater number ot vessels. Tho highest former number of disast ers was that ot tho year preceding, being 219. This year the number aggregates 300. Tho highest number of vessels totally lost in any preceding year was fifty-tot r, in 1879. The number this year was sixty-seven.

Sam Houston's strange behavior in December, 1828, in resigning the governorship of Tennessee and deserting the wife he l.ad just married has been exSlained by Kev. Dr. G- W. Sansom, of re t York, to whom the facts were confided by Governor Houston's wife, who is still living. On the eve of murriase Governor Houston observed a tremor in the voice of his bride, when the vow of undivided al'ichment was pronounced, which u vinced him some secret had not been revealed to him. Before retiring he frankly told her of his suspicion, asked a frank confession, and pledged her that it should not work ,her iDjury. His frankness and lirmness 'led to the confession that her affections had been pledged to another before their meeting, and that filial duty had prompted her acceptance of his proffer Houston retired to his own cot, next day resigned his position, allowed the nntire fault to appear to be his, permitted and encouraged her application for a divorce on the plea of desertion, and his bride was married to the man of her affliction. Ho one of Houston's companions knew till his death the cause of his course, which his best friends, like Jackson, rcgirded as partial insanity.? 9privr/field licpublican. A Nice Point in Grammar. The two young heirs, who had been taking their first lessons in grammar, disputed long and earnestly over a question, and at hist agreed to decide it by arbitration, selecting the head of the family a3 arbiter, with full power to send for persons and papers. The old man was greasing his boots before the kitchen stove. "Father," said the eldest heir, "is it proper to say we is rich, or we am rich P" The old man worked carefully down into the hollow of the boot undor the instep, remained a long time in thoughtful meditation, and then slowly replied: "Well, I should say it would (some nigher the truth to say we hain't rich." And the young heirs, when they came to think what a hard time they had worrying pennies out of their paternal relative, thev thought it might be that way, too.

" The requirements of the sinking fund r law have been substantially observed, u and the principal of the public debt, less } cash in the treasury and exclusive of : accruing interest, has been reduced \ from $2,756,431,571.43, its highest \ point, which it mich^d on August 31, ? 1865. to $1,890 C25 740.89, on November Z 1, 1880?a reduction ol $866,405,830.54 Compared with the previous year, the ? rpp.eints for 1880 have increased $62,- t 029.438 23. { For the present fiscal year the estix : mate is: t Total reoeipts ?350,000 000 00 t Total expenditure? 2Gj,000,000 00 r fc ?90,000,003 CO i Estimated amo ant dan the sinking land ?39,801 884 48 Leaving a balanooofc ?50,198,115 51 g The secretary respectfully renews his J recommendations ol last year, with a fc view to promote economy in the public y scvvice, a permanent organization of an F rtppropriation committee for each House 1 be established, who shall have leave to sit during the recess of Congress, with power to send for persons and papers, c and to examine all expenditures of the government; that rules be adopted by the respective Houses limiting appropriation bids to items of appropriation i ttiiu CAUiuuiiig ltr^iomiivc piuviaiuua^ u . that appropriations, except for the in- t terest on the public debt, be limited to a v period not exceeding two years, and 0 that the expenditure of appropriations e be strictly confined to the period of time for which they wero apptopriated. REDUCED TAXATION. ^ It is a question for Congress to deter- f mine whether any material reduction in \ taxation should be made at a time when t( the whole surplus revenue may be with V great advantage applied directly to the payment of accruing debt, and when such surplus is an important element in aid of refunding. If it should be deter- = mined by Congress to reduce taxes it is d respectfully recommended that all the P taxes imposed by the internal revenue v law other t jan those on bank circulation {* and on spirits, tobacco and fermented t liquors be repealed. The tax on the a circulation of national banks is levied [ partiy in the nature of a mod erate charge r for a franchise conferred by the government, and partly to furnish means to pay the expense of printing and issuing utional banknotas. It is easily collected , by the treasurer of the United States, 0 and is a just and proper tax, whether j1 regarded as a charge for the franchise or r as a means of reimbursing the govern- V ment the cost of printing the notes. The ,J tax on State banks is of the gravest ? importance, not for purposes of revenue, but as a check upon the renewal of a system of local State paper money. Tlie secretary recommends that pro- c vision bo made for the issue of an Q amount not exceeding $400,000,000 of e treasury notes in denominations not less n than ten dollars, bearing interest not ex- " ceeding four per centum per annum, and * running from one to ten years, to be sold 8 at not lees than par, the amount ma- a turing during any year not to ex- t ceed the sinking fund for that year, a and the proceeds to be applied to the payment of five and six per centum bonas, maturing in 1881. It is believed c that, with the present state of the money u market, a sufficient amount of such 0 treasury notes bearing an annual inter- 0 est of three per centum, can be sold to 11 meet a considerable portion of the maturing bonds; but it is better to con- g fer upon the department a discretionary t power to stipulate for a higher maxi- c mum rate, to avoid the possibility ol fail- E ure. Such a discretion is not likely to be abused, while a power too carefully restricted may defeat the beneficial od- v jectof the law. It is also recommended that authority 1 be given to sell at par an amount not exceeding $400,000,000 of bonds of the ^ character and descripti >n of the four per b centum bonds ?f the United States now ? outstanding, but bearing a rate of inter- l est not exceeding (hree and sixty-five I one hundredths per centum per annum, and redeemable at the pleasure of the t United States after filWn yearB, the j proceeds to be applied to the payment g ot bonds redeemable on or before i July 1, 1881. Tuough the amount d of the two classes of securities i recommended exceeds the amount of bonds to be redeemed, no more can be sold than the bonds to be redeemed, t while the alternative authorized will <] permit a limited discretion to sell the j securitiesjnoat favorable to the govern ment. Witn tneautuorny mua reuuu- i mended, it is believed that the department can within a year redeem all the , live and six per cent, bonds now oatstanding, and thus reduce the interest t ! of the public debt $12,000,000 per an- q num. and leave the debt in a form most ! favorable for gradual payment by the application of the sinking fund, without co3t or premium. RESUMPTION- j) Nothing haa occurred since my last ii annual report to disturb or embarass the ? easy maintenance of specie payments. ci United States notes are regularly talcen f at par with coin in all parts of this coun- 6' try and in the chief commercial marts of " the world. The balance of coin in the treasury available for their redemption \ on tlie ftrstaayoi JNovemoer iasc was i $141,597,013.61, and the average during j the year has not materially varied from t that sum. The only noticeable change I in the reserve is the gradual increase of silver coin caused by tiie coinage 01 the silver dollar and the redemption of fractional silver coin, more ful'y stated hereinafter. All the requirements of the resumption act have thus farbeen executed, and its wisdom has been fully demonstrated. THE MAllKETS. NEW XOliK Beer Cattle?Med.

Until printing was very generally pread, civilization advanced by alow nd languid steps. Since the art has >ecome cheap its advances have become inparalleled, and its race of progress astly accelerated, it nas been stateu iy some that the civilization of the Vestern world has resulted from its bene the seat of the Christian religion* lowever much the mild tenor of its octrines is calculated to assist in producing such an effect, that religion can mt be injured by an unfounded stateaent. It is by the easy and cheap netuods of communicating thought roin man to man which enable a counry to silt, as it were, its whole people, ,nd to produce, in its science, its literaure, and its arts, not the brightest eforts of a limited class, but the highest xcrtions of the most powerful minds .mong a whole community. It is this rhich has given birth to the widepreading civilization ol the present lay.^and which promises a future yet aore prolific. Whoever is acquainted nth the present state of science and the nechanical arts, and looks back over aventions and the civilization which he fourteen centuries subsequent to Christianity have produced, and com ares them with the advances made luring the succeeding four centuries ollowing the invention of printing,will lave no doubt to the effective cause.
