The most original swindler of the day is the one who has been telling the colored people o-f Georgia that ‘ he world will come to an end August 16th, and has sold 150 pairs of “angels’ wings” at ten dollars a pair. Judge Terry, who killed Senato r Broderick in California years ago was shot by aU. S. Marshal We- ; -, nesday. Judge Terry was a des* perate character and richly deserved his Hte. The South Bend Tfibune says an election bet made last fall by an Indiana Democrat has just been pad by his taking twenty pretty girls to Niagara Falls and paying all their expenses. The Columbia (Lancaster Co., Pa.,) Iron Company has voluniariy increased the wages of its puddlers from $3.50 to $3.85 per ton. The wages of other employes have been increased in proportion. *—■" - ——— When Senatoi Voorhees calks he always badly rattles the oppo* wition. The Indianapolis Journal is stil sounding the key-notes, called forth by Mr. Voorhees’ recent utterances, and all the lesser dogs of that breed join in the doleful bowl. If the ordinance, originating in a spirit of selfishness, to tax establishments that offer undesirable competition (to rivals) could be enforced, it would afford to our people a direct illustration of the “protection” theory advocated by the republican platforms, press and orators, and result in a repudiation of the principle by many who have always accepted 1 it as correct

Strikes, lock-outs and cut - downs! Such is the burden ol news reports from nearly all the indusicial centers of the country. Meantime the formation of trusts goes right along, and additional tribute is being levie i daily by mon poly on the laborers and mech .nice whose wages are being reduced. As that is what the laborers and mechanics voted for last fall, however, we suppose they are happy. If they are not, the Carnegies, Carbins, Goulds and Vanderbilts are,— [Labor Signal. An ordinance relating to “Cheap John” stores was adopted. This ordinance makes it unlawful for any transient merchant to sell goods, wares or merchandise of any kind, without first procuring a license,the rates of which shall be $2 for one dty, $lO for one week, $25 for one month and SIOO for six months. Upon conviction the fine shall be $lO for each offense. This ordinance takes effect immediately, but we very much doubt if it will stand the inspection of the courts.—Republican. The ordinance, of which the above is an outline, was passed by the-Town Board last Monday evening, Messrs. Reeve, Kaanal and Porter voting for it. These gen - tlemen, by their action in this matter prove themselves to be in hearty accord with the leading principle cf their party—“protection for the few at the expense of the many. Messrs. Day and Phillips refused to favor the monstrosity. The ordinance meets with almost universal condemnation. It certainly cannot be enforced, and will therefore prove a dead letter. It should also prove to be the grave for the Dolitical aspirations and hopes of those who favor the theor/of taxing the masses for the benefit of the few.

A WONDERFUL WATCH.

The Intricate Me chan Uin of a Cleveland Man's Timepiece. W. T. R. Huntington, of Cleveland, is the owner of a unlqac watch presented to him by his father, John Huntington, a watch that is one of two, Mr. Huntincrton. Sr., carrying the duplicate. For both of these, it is said, the latter paid $5,000 in gold to the makers, Messrs. J. Badollet & Co., of Geneva. The case of the one described is of pure gold, four-ounce, while the works are of the most delicate and intricate character, and number 400 pieces. On the larger dial appear four smaller dials. The one at the top shows by a diagram of the sky the changes of the moon, the firmament being of lapis lazuli, studded with golden stars. The next dial to the right shows the leap year, the tiny hand moving around the cirole once in four years, and an auxiliary hand shows each month. On the dial at the bottom is a hand marking the quarter seconds and one showing the day of the month. At the left, on the fourth miniature dial, is a hand pointing out the day of the week, and another the tide as it ebbs and flows. Around the large dial, besides the usual hour and minute hand, moves a second hand and an extra horse-timer so arranged that the distance between tiso hoyges at the finish is accurately, noted in quarter seconds. By pressing a - button the past-hour is struck on a deep-toned bell, one of a fairy chime; the quarters are a more silvery note, ana a rapidly tinkling companion gives the minutes. The watch is a stem winder and one spring furnishes the motive power.

HOW JAMRACH WAS FOOLED.

He Thought He Was Buying the Greatest Curiosity That Ever Lived. Jamrach, the celebrated London dealer In strange animals, picks up many bargains from the mates and stewards of the vast fleet that sails or steams into the Thames on every tide from the four quarters of the globe. But sometimes he gets picked up himself. A few years ago he bought for a few shillings a very rare and therefore valuable animal from a mate, just in froth, say, New Guinea. Presently the mate saw his venture in the “Zoo” with a great gaping crowd about its cage, and learned that the society had paid a small fortune for the curiosity. • ‘l’ll fix him, ” says the mate So the next voyage he returned with the very rarest curiosity ever seen in or out of London docks. “Hullo,” says Jamrach, fairly excited, “what do you call that now?” “Dunno,” says the mate, indifferently. “Looks like a bald squirrel,” says Jamrhch, ariQ mate said him not nay, for certainly it did look Like the baldest possible squirrel, and of the queerest color, too, “sort of no color at all,” as Jamrach put it. Well in three minutes Jamrach had bought that rare animal for 50 guineas down, and in three hours he was back on the dock raging at the mate laughing loud a’ the far end of a long hawser. “You’ve sold me a shaved rat,” shouted Jamrach. “I just have, ” laughed the mate. • ‘Ship’s doctor chloroformed him for fun and ship’s barber shaved him for a glass of beer. Anything else in our line this morning?” A Tete- Interrupted. 4 Henry street girl and Cass avenue young wwe standing on the corner the intersection of two streets the wgH Waiting for a car. “YOU tetter looked as well in your life before, Clara,” said the young man In a tender tone He spoke low and only for the ear of his companion, but immediately a loud voice responded: “Rats!” Thq youth felt highly insulted, and turned round to chastise the party who had spoken, but the girl soothed him and skid it wasn’t meant for them, and he calmed down. “That car isn’t in sight yet,” he said. “Tell me that you love me, Clara, as much as I ” “O, pshaw!” cried the unseen party. ‘TH brain him,” shouted the angry lover, brandishing his cane. “Your a rascal,” called a hoarse voice, and as a piece of cracker fell on the lover’s head he looked up and saw the Vendome parrot in her cage above. They take the other corner now. Rats.

Peterson for Sept, is already on our table. The steel engraving, “Pick a Back” is a charming picture; the wood illustration, “The Young Family” is exceedingly pretty. The illustrated article, gives a variety of head dresses and costumes, and describes them in a charmi g way. Miss Bowman’s serial “in St. Tammany Parish,” ends most touchingly, while the other continued story, “Ted and I” concludes in as sprightly a manner as it commenced. The short stories are exceptionally good and the fashion and household notes areas complete as ever. Jhe “Talk By A Trained Nurse” gives useful and much needed directions for “Lifting and Moving A Helpless Person ” Altogether this number thoroughly maintains “Peterson’s ’ high reputation. Terms: Two Dollars a year. Address Peterson’s Magazine, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.

Either have that kind of a civil service, or, for God’s sake, let us have that other frank and bold, if brutal method of turning men and women out simply for political opinion. Let us have one or the other. President Harrison promised the one but is pursuing ’ the other”—except that, instead of being “frank and bold, il brutal,” his policy is canting and hypocritical. Is it any wonder that the flavor in his speeches and the taking of a “pastor” with him on Sunday excursions has not saved Benjamin Harrison from the contempt of honest men in both parties w] ode spise a Pharisee and a promise breaker?
