As soon as the at- to and the with st. to the matter-—the friends of the dis take long—Mr. Spencer was notified that he must revoke the appointment of his sister, as it was a rule of the de- partment that no pension agent shall appoint a relative to office. Mr. Spen- oer came to Washington and backed by Senators Voorhees and Turpie and the Representative from his district called ou Bec. Smith, but it was use. less, The Secretary told him that he did not intend to countenance nepo- tism in any form, that the Democrats had for years been abusing the Repub- licans for being guilty of it, and that he was really surprised that any Dem- ocrat should desire to follow the prac- tice. Mr, Spencer and his friends saw the point of the argument, The Republican Senators have been badly demoralized since they learned that it was practically settled that Democratic opposition to the tariff’ bill would be overcome by friendly conces- sions. It destroyed their last hope of defeating tariff reform. Benator Har- ris, who is in charge of the bill, made some very sensible remarks in reply to taunts from Senator Hale, concerning the proposed concessions.

Instead of allowing the optic nerves the perfect rest afforded by darkness, the light keeps them in perpetual stimulation, with the result of causing the brain and the rest of the nervous system to suffer. AM ARS Receipts for Shoe Dressing. Here are two receipts for making a dressing for shoes. No. 1 is as follows: Take two drams of spermaceti oil, three ounces of good molasses and four of finely powdered ivory black and stir them together thoroughly. Then stir in half a pint of good vinegar, and the dressing is ready for use. It gives a bright, clean surface and makes the shoes black almost like new. The Populists held their state con- vention in Harrisburg on Tuesday and nominated the following ticket : For Governor, J. T. Ailuan, of Juni- ata county, lecturer of the grangers. For Lieut. Governor: J. B. AKin, of Washington county. For Sec. of Internal Affairs : Louder, of Erie county. For Aud. General: W. M. of Berks. Some votes were cast for our esteem- ed neighbor, bro. Rhone, for governor. A resolution was passed strongly en- dorsing Coxey. The party making a bid ean, no doubt, buy out this Popu- list shanty, that’s what it is intended for, we presume.
