have mentioned. People whose leader, Nose. had

Ctrisiendom New-Engand names especially are
made I'D out If those this people.
Put these two statements tcgeiher-the past 40 in
resurection and the biblical teachincs-and The idea
occurs that crowds in New-Yor would heae' the
museum of antiquities that the readers Of 'se'
would wish 10 see the things made and worn an
worshiIed in his day that curiosity would be fren-
lied to compare the sun1ay-school idea Of Pharaoh
iss with the remains thus unexpectedly brought be-
fore US that faith would be refrehened in seen, in de-
tail these hoar-marked relics Of Old biblical time. But
nothing can be wider Of the fact. The living armies
vend night and day through Broadway, and the e1-
hbition Of Mosaic and nn,e-Mosac times Is more
devoid Of living visiiants than the great Pyramid.

Know -NothDgism denounced as anti-Americin

Native American" and resolved that the true
American was he whose heart is bent on promoting
the common welfare and pepeu ting the blessings OF

would they vote. The ProhibitOry Liquor Law was
denounced as equally pernicous with I'm 'w-Nobios-

can forcibly If We must. To these resolutions they
affixed their Names and in the words OF the Declare

ARREST OF FEMALE STREET-WALEERs.-The Police
Of the Fifth and Sixth Wards were busy again
Tuesday night in arresting female stree-walkers
There were eight arrested in the Filth Ward and
Twentv-eeht in the Sixth Ward. One Of the latter
number gave her name a. Mrs. Webb, residing
in Fiily-second-st. near Fifth-av and declared she
was O respectable married woman. She says she
was quietly walking the Park early in the
evening, after hevins v;s.od como frien-ls an the
lower part Of the City, when Policeman came up
and hurried her off violently to the Station-i ouse
She told him she was respectable woman, but he
persisted in making the arrest, and yesterday morn
ing he made affidavit that he knew her TO be com
mon prostitute. Means adopted to find ont the
truth OF the Allegation ana Inc prisoner was tempo
rarily detained Those Of the girls who arrested
On Tuesday night were last evening sent by Justice
Connolly TO Backwels Island for three months each.
SHORT WEIGHTS We hear many cOmpl Iints of
butchers giving short weights, that disposed TO
believe there is ground f-r the charge In case
poor widow who is trying TO support her family by
keeping boarders, paid dollar and-a-half for what
vas called eight pounds Of beef from which the shop
man cut less than hafpound of bone, and the piece
weighed after ii arrived at home less than six pounds
We know of steaks shrinking Oh in lbs. while going
home It's bad enough TO have to pay eighteen pence
pound for roas of beef but il Is still worse to have
ii shrink quarter We advise everyone to keep a
scale, weigh every article and apply the proper rem
ody Whenever they find short weight We fear that
they will find honest wei ht the exception, not the
rule of Now-York traders in this present day Of scar
city and high prices Try the experiment. No honest
man will object to have his goods re-weighed.
