Hsmilloo, of Bu»hncll, III., ftiw discovered '* process for r>w- king hard«wood lumber out of com* mon wheat straw, wkh all tlie cffccto of polish sod finish which arc obtainable on the hardest of black walnut or mn. hoganjr, at ns l.ttle cost ns clenr pine Initibor can be manufactured for. The process of manufacture, as explained by Mr. Hamilton, is ns follows .* Or dinary straw board, such os is mnnu- %cturcd at any paper mill, is used for the purpose. As many sheets arc taken ns are required to make the thickness of the lumber desired. These sheets arc passed through a chemical solution, which thoroughly softens up the fibre and completely saturates it. The who'e is then passed through a succession of rollers, dried and hardened during th** pmage, ns well as polished, nod conies out of the other cud of the muchinc, hard, dry lumber, ready for use. It is claimed that the chemical properties hardening in the fibre entirely prevent wntcr-soaking, and render the lumber combustible in only a very hot fire. 1 he hnnf.-nmg finish on the outside nlso makes it impervious to water. The sam- p’cs exhibited-could hardly be told from hard wood lumber, and in sawing the difference could not be detected. It is susceptible of a high polish, and snnH pVs of imitation of marble, mnhog- nnv, etc., were shown which might de ceive the most experienced eye. Not only does Mr. Hamilfon claim a substi * tuto for lumber io sash, doors and blinds and finishing stuff, but also as a substitute for block walnut and other woods in the manufacture of nil kinds of fine furniture, coffins, etc., and also wn excellent substitute for marble in marble<top tables, ronntlcpieccs, bu 1 renus, etc. He cla ms that it will not warp in the least.—Milling anrl Me chanical Nctcs.

McGAUAN, The Utexro Vote. The colored vote is reappearing ns a political force, now that ita old rallying points are gone. It is finding new ones, around which it is gathering with greater power for good or evil than ever •before. But it wi 1 be more and more a matter of merchandise. The blacks are well disposed, but weak and blind ; and can't- help themsekes. Fears and bugbears have been freely used by their leaders t6, influence them. The real duties and responsibilities of the voter have nevW been taught them, and the mass of them are still to be victimised in various ways. But fear as u. motive, will give place to temptation. Pan,ion and appetite, rather than timidity, will bo worked upon. Where rifles have been seen, money and rum will flc'tv at the polls. Where men have been driven away from the ballot box, they will bo marched to it to deposit their purchased votes. Anywhere in this country this would he so, with such ignorant masses. It eon be helped on’y by going to the root of the matter. But our nitional legis lators seem to hare had no patience with, or interest in, tba slow, fur-reachiug method* of settling the fate of the negro They exalted the voter—they ignored the man. Their own moral standards were fatally in the way of genuine re oonstruetion meuaurcs. Tlrcir work is done; the seeds of a selfish, short sighted policy are bearing fruit. The great work of the Constitutional Amendments cannot of itself secure the political salvation of the negro. It is like a bridge thrown half way across a chasm. Only the msnhood of the blacks can bridge the other half. EDWIN BATES & CO. JOBBERS OF WHY 4.00WS *N» ( I.OTIIIM., Nos 122 # and 124 Meeting St., Charleston, S* C. I 7-8in Philo a ia tieraaamg.

If •he asks him to take off hit hat he must retolutely keep it on; if to bo seated, he must stand; or if at the table she should hand him any article which he acceprs, she wins the forfeit.
