forenoon cmno u illapatch to tho war
iliqtnrlmont from Qon. Woltaol, ilatoil
at Klcbmontl, announcing tho fall of
tho confoilorato capital. It waa not
many minutoa before tho news aproail
like wildfire through Washington, and
tho intelligence, at flrst doubted, was
speedily mado positive by tho clrcula-
tlon of thousands of newspaper "ex-
tras" containing the new* In bulletins
Issued from the war depnremont. In
n moment of time the city was ablaze
with an excitement the like of which
waa never seen before, and everybody
who had a piece of bunting Bprtad It
to the broexo; und from one end of
Pennsylvania avenue to tho other the
ulr seemed to burn with tho bright
hues of tho flag. The sky was shaken
by a grand salute of 800 gunB, fired by
order of tho secretary of war—300 for
Petersburg and 500 for Richmond. Al-
most by magic the streets were crowd-
ed with hosts of people, talking, laugh-
ing, hurrahing, and shouting In the
fullness of their joy. Men embraced
one another, "treated"' one another,
mado up old quarrels, renewod old
friendships, marched through the
streets arm In arm, singing and chat-
ting In that happy sort of abandon
which characterizes people when un-
tcr the Influence of a great and uni-
versal happiness. Tho atmosphere was
full of tho Intoxication of Joy. Tho de-
partments of the government and
many stores and private olficos wero
closed for the day, and hosts of hard-
worked clerks had their full share of
the. general holiday. Bands of music,
apparently without any special direc-
tion or formal call, paraded the streets,
and boomed and blared from every pub-
lic place, until the air was resonant
with the expression of the popular Jubi-
lation In all the national airs, not for-
getting "Dixie," which, It will be re-
membered, President Lincoln afterward
declared to be among tho spoils of war.
The American habit of speech-making
was npvcr before so conspicuously ex-
emplified. Wherever any man was
found who could make a speech, or
who thought ho could make a speech,
there a speech was made; and a great
many who had never before made one
found themselves thrust upon a crowd
it enthusiastic sovereigns who de-
manded of them something by way of
Jubilant oratory. One of the best of
these offhand addresses extorted by the
enthusiastic crowds was that of Secre-
tary Stanton, who was called upon at
the war department by an eager mul-
titude clamorous for more details and
for a speech. The secretary then read
Grant’s despatch, announcing the cap-
cure of Richmond, and tho fact that the
city was on fire, upon which the secre-
tary asked the crowd what they would
reply to Grant. Some cried, “Let her
tmrn!" others, "Burn It! burn It!” but
rne voice Bhouted, "Hold Richmond
.’or the Northern mudsills!” which sal-
ly was received with considerable
laughter. Mr. Stanton Introduced to
:he crowd Willie Kettles, a bright Ver-
mont boy about fourteen years old, an
operator In the telegraph room of the
War Office, who had been the fortunate
recipient of the important despatch an-
nouncing the capture of Richmond. Of
course the crowd wanted a speech from
the lad, who discreetly held his tongue,
Mid bowed with modesty. The day of
jubilee did not end with the day, but
rejoicing and cheering were prolonged
far into the night. Many illuminated
their houses, and bands were still play-
ing, and leading men and public offi-
cials were serenaded all over the cltjr.
There are always hots of people who
irown their joys effectively la the flow-
ing bowl, and Washington on April 3
was full of those. Thousands besieged
the drinking saloons, champagne
popped everywhere, and a more liquor-
ish crowd was never seen In Washing-
ton than on that night. Many and
many a man of years of habitual sobri-
ety seemed to think It a patriotic duty
to “get full" on that eventful night, and
not only so, but to advertise the fact of
fullness as widely as possible. I saw
one big, sedate Vermonter, chief of an
executive bureau, standing on the cor-
ner of F and Fourteenth Streets, with
owlish gravity giving away flfty-cent
"shin-plasters” (fractional currency) to
every colored person who came past
him, brokenly spying with each gift,
"Babylon has fallen!” On the night of
April 4, In pursuance of a recommenda-
tion by the secretary of state, the city
was Illuminated. All the public build-
ings and a great proportion of private
residences and business houses were
alight with fireworks and Illumina-
tions of every description. The War
Department was gorgeously decorated
with a mass of flags, tho windows were
filled with lights, and a huge transpar-
ency of patriotic deslces crowned the
portico. The same was true of the
Navy Department, the Winder build
Ing (occupied by the government), the
White House, and the State and Treas-
ury buildings. Secretary Seward was
the author of a much-admired motto
over the portico of the State Depart-
ment, which read: "At home Union is
order, and Union is peace. Abroad
Union is strength, and strength is
peace.” Over another entrance of the
building was: “Peace and good will to
alt nations, but no entangling alliances
and no foreign Intervention.” The
Treasury had over Its chief entrance a
huge transparency which was a toler-
able Imitation of a ten-dollor Interest
bearing United 8tates note, with a
mammoth facsimile of Treasurer Spin-
ner's signature In all Its unique ugli-
ness. The Treasury motto was: "U.
S. Greenbacks and U. S. Grant. Grant
gives the greenbacks a metallic ring.”

Boms Important Parlor* Neressary to
Successful Effort,
Attention has lately bcon called to
tho necessity. In arrangements for tho
ventilation of mills, of a careful study
of the meteorology of tho district -the
extreme range of temperature and of
rclatlvo humidity being Important fac-
tors both In dry nnd wot seasons. Tho
maximum range on any dny Is Impnr
taut, also, to be known, and likewise
the rate at which humidity In tho nlr
may vary In a working day, the fact
being that therq arc scarcely two con-
secutive hnlf hours In tho day when
the atmosphere is In tho same condi-
tion; that Is, It may bo In a perfect
state for spinning nnd weaving at ono
time, and four hours later may have
only one-third of tho necessary amount
of moisture required for the purpose of
manufacture. Again, tho difference In
tho readings of two thermometers, wet
and dry. Is due to the rate of evapora-
tion of water from muslin tied around
ono bulb; If the air 1b very dry, the
evaporation la rapid and the cooling Is
in proportion, or, If the air Is moist,
evaporation Is retarded, and whon tho
sir Is saturated, as during a fog, evap-
oration stops, and, ns there Is no cool-
ing effect on the wet bulb, both ther-
mometers will read alike. It appears
that some "humidifiers" that have dono
well in England have been failures In
India. The mean differences of tem-
perature of-the air in India and In Eng-
land Is. roughly, 30 degrees F., so that,
comparing tho amount of water re-
quired to saturate air at 02 and at 92,
at the hlghor temporature it takes Just
2.05 times as much water for the pur-
pose In India as in England.
EXPERIMENTS WITH RVMIE.
Amount of Wealth Contained In a Ton
of Ite Stulkn.
French experiments with ramie are
now reported as showing that a ton
of Its stalks and IcaveB, when properly
treated, will yield about twenty-five
pounds of the chemically degummed
fibre fit for spinning—about the same,
In fact, as the result of experiments In
this country. This quantity of fibre
means the product of a ton after the
fibre has only been cleaned upon the
machine, but has likewise passed
through the subsequent processes to fit
It for spinning. It also appears that
mere stripped bark costs for treatment
about $65 more than China grass, ton
for ton, of the degummed fibre, without
considering differences of quality in
the same grade of ribbons. It Is well
known that a stalk of ramie either
grows rapidly and rankly when there
Is an excess of moisture, or it is stunt-
ed and of slow growth when an oppo-
site condition prevails. But where one
of these conditions follows the other
In tho Bamo instance, tho fibre is ad-
versely affected, for In the after proc-
esses to fit it for spinning, treatment
necessary to reduce the hard or stunt-
ed growth to the condition of splnnablo
fibre may wholly disintegrate the struc-
ture of the fibre in the softer or free-
grown portion of the stalk, and great
wastage and loss ensue.

Bios no thus de-
scribes Iho bat-
tlo of Rlvoll! At early dawn began tho
conflict which wus lo settle tho fsle of
Mantun. Tim first fierce contest wss
between tho Austrian loft and tho
French right at Bt. Murk; but It quick-
ly spread along tho whole lino ns far as
Csprino. Kqr son « tlmo tho Austrians
had the advantage, and tho result was
lu suspense, slued Iho French left, nl
Cnprlno, yielded for an Instant before
tho onslaught of tho main Austrian
army mudo In nccordnnco with Alvln-
izy's first plan, and. as ho supposed,
upon un Inferior force by ono *vastly
superior In numbers. Ilerthier, who by
his calm courage was fast rising high
In his commander's favor, oamo to the
rescue, and Masscnn, following with a
judgment which us Inseparably linked
his name with that famous spot, finally
restored order lo tho French ranks.
Every succosslvo charge of the Aus-
trians wss repulsed with a vlolcnco
which threw their right and center
back townrd Monto Buldo In ovor-grow-
Ing confusion.
Tho battlo waged for nearly three
hours before Alvlnczy understood that
it wus not Joubert's division, but Ilo-
napnrt’s army, which was above him,
In hla zeal ho then pressed forward on
the platoau beneath the height to
bring more of bid troops Into action,
and Joubcrt somewhat rashly advanced
to check tho movement, leaving the
road to St. Mark unprotected. The
Austrians, prompt to take advantage
jf this blunder, charged up tho hill,
Bid seized tho commanding position;
out simultaneously there rushed from
.he opposite side three French battal-
lions, clambering up to retrieve the
mlstako. Their physical strength and
nervous activity brought them flrst to
ihe lop, and again the storming col-
umns wore thrown back In disorder.
M that instant appeared in Bonaparte's
rear an Austrian corpB estimated by
nim as 4,000 strong, which, having
tome down the valley on tho left bank,
had now crossed the river to take the
French right at Rlvoll In Its rear. Had
they arrived but a minute sooner, tho
hill of Rlvoll would have been lost to
the French. As It was, instead of malt-
ing an attack, they had to await ono.
Bonaparte directed n galling artillery
fire against them, and thus gained time
both to reform his ranks and to hold
the newcomers In cheek until his own
reserve, coming In from the next ham-
let westward, cut them entirely off
from the retreating columns of Alvln-
czy. and compelled them to lay down
their arms. Thus ended tho worst de-
feat and most complete rout which tho
Austrian army had so far sustained.
Such was the utter demoralization of
Ihe flying and disintegrated columns
that a young French officer named
Reno, who was In command of fifty men
at a hamlet on Lake Garda, success-
fully Imitated Bonaparte's ruse at Do-
nato, nml displayed such an imposing
confidence to a Hying troop of fifteen
hundred Austrians that they surren-
dered to what they believed to be a
force superior to their own, Next morn-
ing nt dawn, Murat, who had marched
all night to gain the point, appeared
an the slopes of Monte Baldo above the
pass of Corona, and united with Mas-
sena and Joubcrt to drive tho Austrians
from their last foothold. The pursuit
was continued as far as Trent. Thir-
teen thousand prisoners were captured
In those two days. This short cam-
paign of Rlvoll was the turning point
of the war, and may be said to have
shaped the history of Europe for twenty
years. Chroniclers dwell upon those
few moments at the hill above the
plateau of Rlvoll, and wonder what the
result would have been if the last Aus-
trian corps had arrived five mlnutos
sooner. But an accurate and dlspas-
donate criticism must decide that every
itep in Bonaparte’s success was won by
careful forethought, and the most ef-
fective disposition of the forces at his
command. So sure was he of success
that even In the crises when Massena
seemed to save the day on the left, and
when the Austrians seemed destined to
wrest victory from defeat at the last
moment on the light, he was solf-ro-
dant and cheerful. The new system of
field operations had a triumphant vin-
dication at tho hands of its author.
The conquering general meted out un-
stinted praise to his invincible squad-
:ons and their leaders, but said nothing
jf himself, leaving the world to judge
whether this was man or demon who,
though still a youth, and within a pub-
lic career of but one season, had humil-
iated the proudest empire on the conti-
nent, had subdued Italy, and on her
soil had erected states unknown before,
without the consent of any great power
lot excepting his own. It is not won-
derful that this personage should
sometimes have said to himself, “Say
shat my life began at Rivoli,” as at
ither times he dated his military ca-
reer from Toulon.

EXTRACTING OF TANNIN.
It Has Lately llecame » I'raellral ami
rrofltiUilfl Industry,
The extraction of tannin from pal-
metto loaves lias now bocomo a prac-
tical industry, and It is claimed that
leather tunned with this product can bo
more economically produced than that
which Is treated with oak or hemlock
bark, while the residue forms a valu-
able paper stock, which Is also utilized.
In tho process of extraction tho leaves
and stems are separated, tho Btems aro
crushed flat through rollers, while the
leaves are finely shredded; this mate-
rial la then placed In a largo wooden
tank and covered with wnter, tho tnasH
is brought to the boiling point but not
allowed to boll violently—being kept
near but below tho boiling point for for-
ty-eight hours, the liquid being tlren
ready for the tannery. After the tan-
nin has been extracted, the palmetto is
steamed in a chemical solution, which
removes the silicate contained in the
palmetto and changes the glossy shield
to a gummy mass, which can be re-
moved without injury to tho fibre; but
in making imitation horsehair this
gummy mass is allowed to dry, as it
adds to the elasticity of the (Hire. There
are several combinations in which tho
production of tannin and fibre Is said
to bo practicable and advantageous, so
that tanneries situated In tho vicinity
of paper mtll3 can grind tho palmotto
In the same manner aa bark, and Hie
residue, after bleaching, is In proper
shape for the paper mill,
and saw much bard survlo*. Owing to
•iposure and hardships during th* s«r*
vice, Mr. Taylor contracted ohronlo
diarrhoea from which h* has suffered
now over 30 years, with absolutely no
help from phyelelnns, By nature hs
was a wonderfully vigorous man. Had
he not been tils disease and the experi-
ments of the doctors hud killed him long
ago. Loudnnum was the only thing
which afforded him relief, Ho had ter-
rible headaches, Ida nerves wero sltal-
tored, lie could not sleep an hour a day
on un average, and ho was reduced to a
skeleton. A year ago, bn und bis wlfo
sought relief In a change of climate and
removed to Geneva, Ohio; but the
change In health came not, Finally on
the rocniiimendutlon of F. J. Heffner,
tho lending druggist of Genovu, who
was eogidzant of similar cases which
IMnk I'llls bad cured, Mr. Taylor wss
persuaded to try a box. "An a drown-
ing loan grasps a straw so I took th*
pills," says Mr. Taylor, "but with no
more hope of rescue. But after thirty
years of suffering nnd fruitless search
for relief l at last found It In Dr. Will-
iams' Pink Pills. Tho dny after I took
the first pills 1 commenced to feel bettor
and wlu-ti I had taken the first box I
wus In fart a new man." That was
two months ago. Mr. Taylor has nine*
taken morn of the pills nnd Ids progress

wished to add her testimony In
favor of Pink Pills. "To tho pills nlono

and Mrs. Tnylor can not find words to

The best night signal lights are those
invented by Lieut. Very, of our navy,
ami named, after him, Very's signals.
They consist of a white, a red, amt a
green star, each fired into the air from
a pistol, so that by firing one, two, or
three of them in quick succession, and
In different orders, with a pause be-
tween tho groups, different letters or
signal numbers can be made until a

FOR THE SUMMER GIRL.
Skirts remain straight and round,
with godets and organ-pipe backs.
The general revival of wash material
for gowns will be an Interesting phase
of the summer world of fashion.
A fetching cotton fabric showing
fancy stripes on dnrk and light blue
grounds Is known ns marine twill.
All bouffant effects should be left en-
tirely to the thin woman who needs
them and can wear them with good re-
sults.
Tnll women may wear long capes with
good results, but those who are short
or of medium height should wear them
much shorter.
Among silks taffeta has the preference
for spring and summer wear, as it Is
of light wpave and Is produced In a
great variety of effects.
Crepe ribbons are made with satin
edges that often contrast in hue with
crepe, which is very soft and is particu-
larly effective in stock collars.
Fine laces will be used for trimming
gowns of India muslin. It is a novel de-
cree of fashion that coarse laces are
most suitable for use on brocaded taf-
fetas and similar fabrics.
The fancy pompadour silks are made
up Into exceedingly dainty parasols.
These come In pink, blue, yellow and
white grounds, with ehtne-prlnted gar-
lands strewn over the surface.
There Is No Reaeon Why They Should
Not tie feed Everywhere,
IVhlle the subject of good roads Is be-
ing agitated in every part of the country
those most Interested In the subject are
doing their best to make bad roads
still worse by using narrow tires on
their wagons. Heavy loads are drawn
over our mud roads on these narrow-
tired wagons and deep ruts cut Into
them. Hint In wet weather make them
ntmost, and sometimes entirely, Im-
passable. I have a sort of a pity for
a man who urges his team along a
muddy road, all the time grumbling
about the badness of It. when he might
reduce the labor of his team from ono-
thlrd to one-l.ntf by using wide tires at
very little additional cost to himself
and to the great saving of team nnd
temper. It Is to be hoped that the first
legislation looking to the Improvement
of the mads of the country will be In the
way of encouraging the use of wide
ltr<,-H, for one narrow-tired wagon will
do more damage than a dozen with
wide tires If the roads are nt all soft.
No one disputes the philosophy of wide
tires, and no one seems to have any
good reason to offer Why they should
hot be used. Our farmers simply fol-
low precedent nnd go on using narrow
tires because tlielr fathers did before
them. Lumbermen nnd freighters use
wide tires almost universally and save
money by doing so, but It seems that
farmers do not care to economize In
this direction. The condition of our
roads costs us more than any other
single item of wa3te 111 this country,
and the common use of wide tires
would reduce this waste of energy to
n large extent.—American Farmer and
Farm News.

A T.n-C.nt Dinner.
At the Philadelphia Food Exposition,
Mrs. Rorer, the well-known lecturer,
lemonstrated how to cook a dinner for
.’our persons at a cost not exceeding
10 centB, or 10 cents for each dinner.
The menu for this dinner was delight-
,’ully palatable, and as the cost of each
;eparate dish was given the fact wa3
lemonstrated that one need not live
•xtravagantly In order to live well. Be-
ginning with a puree of vegetables, it
was fojjowed by sheep's liver, larded
<nd served with brown sauce. Next
were baked potatoes, turnips with
•ream sauce, cream slaw and apple
.apioca for dessert The cost of these
was 3 cents for the soup, 3 cents for
•abbage. 10 cents for liver, S cents for
lotatoes, 2 cents for three turnips, 2Vi
tents for a loaf of stale bread, 3 cents
(or apples 3 cents for tapioca, 3 cents
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Grease may be removed from woolen
goods by sponging it with strong cold
coffee.
Wear old loose kid gloves when Iron-
ing, as they will save many callous
spots on one's hands.
Fine laces may be cleaned by being
packed in wheat flour and allowed to
remain twenty-four hours.
It Is well to keep a small paint brush
convenient for dusting the crevices In
furniture, and all spots that cannot be
reached with the dust cloth.
Apply powdered alum to a fever sore.
This will prevent It from becoming
very unsightly or noticeable.
It Is a good plan to burn pine tar oc-
casionally In a sick room, as It Is an ex-
cellent disinfectant, and It also induces
sleep.
If a shirt bosom or any other article
has been scorched In ironing lay it
where the bright sunshine will fall di-
rectly upon It.
When anything lias been spilled on
the stove, or milk has boiled over and
a suffocating smoke arises, sprinkle the
spot with salt and It will quickly dis-
appear.
The teeth should be brushed up and
down, rather than across from one
tooth to another, as the particles to be
removed are generally between the
teeth. Remember also that the insides
and tops of the teeth need brushing as
much as the outside.
The abolition or rather the moder-
ation of heavy winter flannels Is part

doctors now advise a gradation of flan-

Lost llolr to a l argo titlca Entitle Be-
came n Mltcr-Hermlt In Wunliinglnn.
Ansel White, the lost heir to a large
estate near Utica, N. Y., valued at sev-
eral millions, was an eccentric person.
He went to Clallam county, Washing-
ton, In the later sixties ami squatted on
a tract of government land. He was
thrifty, energetic and made money.
When times were hard and interest
high he frequently loaned to his neigh-
bors small sums of money on good se-
curity. In those days the nearest bank
was 100 miles distant. After promis-
ing a loan he would ask the borrower
to call tho next day for the money,
when he would have it on hnnd. It was
generally supposed by Ills neighbors
that he kept his money buried.
A vein of mystery always hung
around the old man, who was on tho
shady side of seventy. Once in a burst
of confidence lie imparted the informa-
tion to a friend that ho had wealthy
relatives living In tho East, and fur-
ther said that in early life he was dis-
appointed in marriage and for that rea-
son he came out West and burled him-
self in the wilderness. It seems that he
was engaged to marry a pretty girl, of
a rich family, but a few days prior to
the day-set for the ceremony she cancel-
ed the engagement and shortly after-
ward was wedded to a man who years
before had betrayed White's friendship
In some trivial Incident. Though pos-
sessed of a comfortable annuity, with
the ultimate certainty of eventually be-
ing a three or four times millionaire.
White forfeited wealth, relatives and
friends and sought to forget the pain-
ful memories by mingling in tho ex-
citement of the Pacific coast. For a
time he lived in California and then
drifted to Puget Sound. It was during
his residence here that he made and
canceled several wills. The will now
in existence made a neighbor's son,
Preston M. Troy, his heir. At the time of
White's death. In 18S8. he was seventy-
six years of age.

The Fair .Sex Swore More In Old Times
Than Nowadays.
Dr. Barker Newhall, of Brown Uni-
versity, in his paper on "Women's
Speech In Classic Literature.” said'
"Disconnected thought and inconse-
quent. expression are characteristic of
the female mind, and are exhibited, o
g„ in oration 32 of Lysias, by tho lack
of connection between the sentences in
one place nnd by the excess of it in
another; while in Terence the Insertion
of a parenthesis often breaks the con-
tinuity. Again, we notice the prolixity
of style, as shown by useless repetitions
or such diffusoness and garrulity as
aro familiar iu Chaucer’s ‘Wife of
Bath.’ Plato and Cicero tell us that
women are conservative and keep
many antiquated phrases. Such are
found in Corndia’s letter and else-
where, while proverbs abound in Theo-
critus's fifteenth idyl. Women also
show their emotion by pathetic repeti-
tions and exaggeration, as in the
speeches ascribed by historians to cer-
tain Roman matrons and in Alciphron's
toye letters. Swearing was once quite
stumor, among English women, so
Juliet’s nurse and Dame Quickly swear
very freely, while Hotspur reproaches
Kate for using the weak oaths of wom-
en. In classic antiquity the weaker sex
swore the more frequently and matrons
most of ail. In Greece, as men swore
by* no goddess save Demeter, so the
women by no god but Zeus, while oaths
by Aphrodite were especially charac-
teristic. In the best period Roman
men never called Castor to witness, nor
the women Hercules. Similarly cer-
tain interjections wero the exclusive
property of the women, as among some
savago tribes they have peculiar names
for many objects.”
