y» Keep Silk.
.1 Silk article* should nut be kept folded in
white paper, as the chloride of limo used in
bleaching the paper will probably impair the
color of the Bilk. Brown or blue paper is
better ; the yellowish, smooth India paper is
best of all. Silks intended for dross should
not bo kept long in the house before they are
made wp, as lying in the folds will have a
tendency to impair its durability by causing
it to cut or split, particularly if the silk has
been thickened by gum. Thread lace veils
are very easily cut. But dresses of velvet
should not be laid by with any weight above
them ; if tho nap t f thin silk is laid down,
it is not possible to raise it up again. Hard
silk should never be wrinkled, because the
thread is easily broken in the crease, and it
never can bo rectified. The way to take (ho
wrinkles out of silk scarfs and handkerchiefs
is to moisten the surlace evenly with a
sponge ami some weak glue, and Ihtm pin
the silk with some toilet pains on a mattress
or feather bed. taking pains to draw out the
silk as tight ns possible. When dry the
wrinkles will have disappeared. The reason
of this is obvious to every person. Some
silk articles should be moistened and the
wrinkles ironed out by a hot flat iron on the
wrong side.

Noi a Word of it True.
The statement was telegraphed from
Atlanta, on Monday night, by the ageut of
the l’ress Association, that one hundred and
eighty negroes marched in a body to Ma»
rietta and voted for Gordon. We have the
authority of a most reliable gentleman, who
was in Marietta on Monday all day, for
stating that there is not one word of truth
in the report. It was a mere fabrication.—
Era.
Uonnet* for May.
Bonnets have reached their smallest
dimensions, and now there is an idea of
doing away with them altogether. On the
principle that extremes meet, the next thing
we may expect is a return to the prepos
terous head gear of forty years ago—the
tunnel bonnets which, it is said, required a
speaking trumpet at one end to reach a
woman's ear at the other.
The proposed substitute for a bonnet at
present, however, is a lace coiffure. The
coiffure mantille, which has already made
its appearance, is sometimes worn at the
opera, and will probably be worn largely at
the inland watering places, where bonnets,
for the purposes of the promenade, have
always been at a discount.
The graceful arrangement of the new
coiffure mantille depends much upon the
taste of the wearer. The prettiest method
is to festoon it to the braids with handsome
pins, draw it back from one side of the face,
and ornament it high on the side, above the
light temple, with a large pink rose and
buds, leaving the other side free to he drawn
over the face as a veil, in the Spanish
fashion.
The coiffure mantille, which is not at all
likely to be anything more than a very ex
ceptional caprice, is but the natural develop
ment of the mantille bonnet, one of the
principal novelties ol this season, the veil of
which is a much more important affair than
the bonnet itself. This is nothing more than
a very small Fanchon of crape or silk, covered
with folds of tulle, plain or frosted, with a
veil of the tulle attached to tho back, descend
ing low and forming in the front a drapery
or second strinzs, which are fastened with an
ornament similar to those upon tho bonnet.
Nearly all the bonnets of the season have
lace falls, or a scarf of lace attached, which
is carried to the front and forms second
strings, the first consisting simply of narrow
ties. This has been done to a great extent
during the past winter, and forms a gradual
addition to the small bonnets, which require
some sort of drapery to shorten the apparent
length between the chin and the top of tho
lietid. »
The “baby” bonnet, which is simply com
posed of a “cap,” or, as it is sometimes
called “soft” crown, and small brim turned
back a little from the sides, has had a great
success, and is really a very pretty design.
The crown is also composed of thin material,
and is, sometimes raised in a sort of puff',
which is very stylish, aud from which a fall
of lace opett in the centre, descends upon the
sides of the chignon, and is carried to the
front, where the ends form wide lace strings:
The brim is generally made of silk, although
it may very properly be composed of tha
same material as the crown.— Dcmorcst's
Monthly.

Till- Irau-Clud Oath.
Many persona having expressed a desire
to obtain a copy of the “Iron clad oath,"
the taking of which is an indispensablo
precedent to occupying any public office,
vre republish it as Follows:
‘•1 , of county of and State
of——, do solemnly swear or affirm, that
I have never voluntarily borne arms against
■ tho United States since I have bccu a citi
xen thereof; that I have voluntarily given
no aid, countenance, counsel or encourage
ment to persons engaged in armed hostility
thereto ; that l have neither sought nor ac
cepted, nor attempted to excrciso the funo
ttons of any office whatever, under any
authority or pretended authority, in hostility
to tho United States ; that I have not yield
ed a voluntary support to any pretended
government, nuthoritj, power or constitu
tion, within tho United States, hostile or
inimical thereto. And Ido further swear,
or affirm that, to the best of ray knowledge
and ability, I will support aud defend the
Constitution of the United States against all
enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will
bear true allegiance to the same ; that I
take this obligation freely without any men
tal reservation or purpose of evasion ; and
that I will well and faithfully discharge
the duties of the office on which I am about
to enter. So help me God,
Girls.— A Composition by a Very Small
Boy. —l don’t liko girls. Girls is different
from what boys is- Girls don’t piny mar
bles, and also girls don’t play hookey. I
played hookey once and got whipped for
it. Girls sometimes get whipped, but not
so much as boys ; their clothes ain’t so well
suited for it, that is the reason, I suppose.
I never see no girls play base ball; they
say they do in Boston. There is plenty of
girls in Boston and big organs. Last year,
when I was young, the teacher used to
make me set with the girls because I was
naughty. I cried. Big boys like girls
better than little boys. I went on a sleigh
ride one night with my sister Nancy and
Tom Sykes. We were going to New Hart
ford ; when wo got un by Pegg’s Tavern,
Tom asked me to look in the bottom of his
sleigh for his whip; while 1 was looking
he fired off a torpedo. I asked him if he
had any more torpedoes, and ho said no,
but ho fired off another when I wasn’t
looking. Girls don’t like to (jave men kiss
them. They always say don’t. If they
wasn’t fools they would turn their heads
the other way, but they never do that. I
saw Tom kiss Nancy once, and I told my
mother. Then my mother put mo to bed.
When a girl takes out her handkerchief in
the street and wipes her nose, tho young
men who earn their living by standing in
front of tho Globe Hotel always wipe their
nosos at the same time, if they see her.
Girls get married sometimes, but not
always. Those that don't get married
don’t want to. When they get married
they have wedding cake. I like wedding
cake; but Ido not see any fun in getting
married—especially to a girl.

[From the Circular of Wrn. Bryce .t Cos.
New York CoMoss Review.
New York, April 22, 1868.
There has been no now clement introduced
into the cotton question this week: the heavy
shipments from Bombay (70,000 bales for the
first week in April) are only about wliat was
anticipated, and the heavy receipts at our ports
have been made at tho expense of the interior
towns. Messrs. Easton A Cos., Brokers of this
city, telegraphed to the leading interior places
last week, and tho total stocks reported was
35,000 bales. Frpm this it is fair to infer wo will
have a perpendicular falling off in tho receipts
for the week ending the 25th inst. At all events,
such is the general impression, and wo doubt if
any material advance could be provoked by the
receipts in this country for the balance of tho
season.
As we have stated in previous circulars, there
is a serious deficiency in supply, if the present
rate of consumption be maintained, and prices
must go to a point where spinners will run short
time. Many persons predicted that lOd. and a
still greater number that 12d. would bo tho
checking point, but, although the immense con
sumption of January and February has been
reduced two or three thousand bales per week,
we do not hear of short time as a concerted
movement, and private advices report Man
cluster well under contract. Tho present con
sumption of Great Britain is estimated by one of
the best authorities, Mr. Samuel Smith, of
Liverpool at 52,000 bales per week. The follow
ing table shows sho relation of supply aud con
sumption at its present rate.
Estimated imp’t from March
2S to Dee. 31, same as last
year 2,475,000 hales,
Less deficiency now known
to bo at sea 126,000
2,352,000

Average weekly export of
1867, 19,500 bales weekly
for 39 weeks 760,500
Deficiency .Jan. 1, 1869.. 45,500
In the above table wo have taken the average
weekly export of 1867, and judging from the low
stocks in the leading continental ports, there
will be a very brisk export demand during tho
summer, and last year’s average will be at least
maintained. It should also be remembered that
tbe available stocks in this country last year at
this time were almost donble what they now are.
We give tbe above tabic not to prove that Liv
erpool will not have a bale on tho first of Janu
ary next, but to show that consumption must be
stopped by price. Sooner or later that point
must bo reached, and a decline must follow. Wo
would warn our planter friends against enter
taining tbe hope that their next crop will realize
present prices, for unless wo have a very unpro
pitious scoson wc will have a fair sized crop, and
increased Indian exports to be sold in competi
tion with it. W(/hear some instances of planters
plowing up their corn and putting in cotton
instead, but wc trust this will be tho exception
and not tho rule, for the experience of three
years has proved beyond a preadventuro that no
profit can bo made in selling free-labor cotton to
buy corn with. As we have urged in previous
circulars, 12d sterling will have more effect on
the Indian exports than on our own, for it is a
well established fact that tho amount of cotton
yearly grown in India is about tho same, and
the amount exported varies with tho price—if
quotations arc high it is shipped : if they are
low, the cotton is kept at home.
The shipments of Brazil, Egypt, and tho
West Indies, will also be stimulated to a marked
extent. We mention all those points in support
of our theory that every planter should raise
more provisions than enough for his own use,
and that Cotton should not be made an exclu
sive crop. In the present impecunious condi
tion of the South, the planter has to sell whether
tho price suits him or not, and although Cotton
is now worth over 30c., it is only four months
ago when it was barely bringing 15c. It is
scarcely within tho range of possibility that
prices may decline to that point again, but
planters should bear the experience of this
season in mind in estimating the probable profits
of exclusive Cotton culture. To what point
Cotton may go between now and another crop
it is impossible to say, but it is almost abso
lutely certain that 12d. will not bo the current
ra'.e next January, unless some unforseon con-
I tingencies arise.

agers. The President of the city Board
neglects his duties for the purpose of inter
fearing with voters to such an extent as to
invoke protest of his clerks. The Conserva

Impeachment Trial.
Washington, ; , 1 22. . House did
nothing on impeachment.
A resolution was finally passed allowing
unlimited speeches or written arguments by
the managers and the defense.
The galleries are crowded.
Boutwell is about commencing.
Unlimited speeches will probably prolong
the trial ten days.
[SECOND DISPATCH.)
Washington, April 22.—1n the Senate,
alter a half dozeu propositions had been
voted down, the following was adopted:
“That so many of the managers and counsel
for the President as desire to do so, be per
mitted to file arguments or address the
Senate orally.”
Chase ordered Boutwell to proceed.
Boutwell said : The Chief Magistrate of
tho principal republic in the world was on
trial. Ibe object ol the proceeding was not
punishment for offenses, but the safety ol
state. The issues between the President and
the House of Representatives are technical
and limited, viz : whether Johnson violated
the Constitution and laws in removiug
Secretary Stanton aud appointing Thomas.
Boutwell set forth the evils that would
probably follow the acknowledgment of the
President’s power to remove officers at
pleasure, and arguing that the power of
Congress should be maintained, and that
tho sovereignty rested with the people, who
vested it in Congress; whereas the Execu
tive and Judicial are denied all discre
tionary or implied power. Congress can
adopt an administration as to changing the
condition of national life, whereas the
President is governed by principles which
govern a Judge of a court. The President
must administer the law as he finds
it, without questioning legislative wisdom.
The President can make no inquiry regard
ing constitutionality, and as a public officer
can neither plead nor prove any good mo
tives for nullifying the law. The President
violated a law. The Senate can enter into
no inquiry regarding violated laws and
constitutionality. Boutwell denies that the
President desired to bring the question
before the Court. His pretex fully exposed
that his object was to seize the offices of the
government, and, by their influence, recon
struct the Union in the interest of the
rebellious States. No criminal was ever
arraigned who offered a more unsatisfactory
excuse for his crimes. lie argues Stanton’s
suspension and Grant’s appointment was an
acknowledgement of the legality of the
Tenure of-Ollicc bill, behind which the Presi
dent could not go. A subsequent attempt
to remove Stautou was unauthorized by the
Constitution, and was a violation of the
President’s oath of office. This requires a
verdict of guilty, under tho first article.
Cabinet advice was no excuse ; it was the
advice of servants to their master.
Boutwell discussed the Constitution and
the practice of- removals, closing his argu
ment with: None of the predecessors of
Mr. Johnson, from Gen. Washington to Mr.
Lincoln, ever claimed the power to remove a
civil officer, during the session of the Senate,
without its consent. Ho claimed that the
Act of 1795, even if the right claimed under
it is valid, was repealed by the Act of 1863.
Boutwell argued the constitutionality of the
Tenure 01-Oflice Act, claiming that Johnson
was serving Lincoln’s term, and says that
the President seems to have been under the
influence of a criminal purpose to destroy
Grant as well as remove Stanton, and at
tempted to carry out his purpose by various
and traitorous methods—such as attempting
to seduce Sherman and Gen. G. W. Thomas.-
General Thomas’ nomination of Ewing
was a part of the “old game.” Ewing was
seventy nine years old, who would gladly
vacate office at any time, leaving it in the
hands of Johnson’s tool. There is no
reason to suppose that tho present Secretary
of the Treasury would not yield to any
scheme Johnson might undertake.
Regarding the President’s speeches, the
House did not arraign the President for
slandering Congress, or for any purpose of
protection—but that a man uttering such
words is unfit for the office.
After narrating the President’s recon
struction course, Boutwell says: “The
House brought this great criminal to your
Bar upon the conviction that the country
was in peril.”
Boutwell concludes : “The House of Repre
sentatives have presented this criminal at
your bar, with equal confidence in his guilt
and in your disposition to administer exact
justice between him aud the people of the
United States. His conviction is the triumph
of law, of order, of justice. Ido not con
template his acquittal. It is impossible,
therefore 1 do not look beyond. But, Senators,
the people of America will never permit an
usurping Executive to break down the secu
rities for liberty provided by the Constitution.
The cause of the country is in your hands.
Your verdict of guilty is peace to our beloved
land.”

New Albany, Ind., March 12, 1867.
Tor forty years I have been afflicted with
costiveness, and for the last twenty waa com
pelled daily to resort to injections to secure
an evacuation. In December last I com
menced the use of Radway’s Pills. After
taking a few doses, my liver, stomach, and
bowels were restored to their natural strength
ami duties. I have now a regular moyement
once a day, and, although 80 years of age,
feel as hearty and strong as I did 40 year*

HIGH ENDORSEMENT FROM THE
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF PRUSSIA.
DR. RAD WAY
la in receipt of an important official docu
ment, signed by the Professors of the
Medical College of Breslau, Prussia,
embodymg the result of an
analysis of
RAHWAY'S REGULATING PILLS.
“ The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after a careful and minute examina
tion, they have the honor to state that “the
pills aro not only freo from every substance
injurious to health, but are composed wholly
of substances and elements promotive of
digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system, &c.,
&c. They stato, further, that the injurious
rumors set afloat by the Prussian apothe
caries originated “in a mean spirit of trade
jealousy, excited by the great celebrity at
tained by the Pills within a very brief
period.”
Signed on behalf of the College,
DR. PHIL. THEOBALD WERNER,
Director of the Polytechnic Bureau.
DR. HESSE, Pint Aesittant,
IHDSCESTION !
In cases where natural evacuations are
difficult to secure, and a quiet discharge is
essential, take six of Radway’s Pills and pul
verize them, —take the pill powder in water
or preserves,—in half an hour they will ope
rate. We have known the most distressing
paius of Gastritis, Bilious Cholic, Inflamma
tion, Congestion, &c,, stopped, and the re
tained irritating humors expelled from the
bowels in thirty minutes by this trertment.
It is however, better in chronic cases to take
the pills as they are, and let them gradually
dissolve in the stomach. These Pills possess
in the highest degree cathartic, aperient,
tonic, and diapharetic properties. They do
do not weaken or debilitate the system or
anv of its organs, and will leave the bowels
regular and healthy. They purify and equal
ize the circulation of the blood. No conges
ticn or inflammation will occur while thtj
system is under their influence. Price 26
cents per box, or 5 boxes for one dollar.
