LOCAL MATTERS.

Mandatory.-Ths City Council, in order to
prohibit huckstering, has declared by ordi-
nance, that no person engaged in selling at a
market butter, eggs, or fowls, shall purchase
Ior himself, or by the agency OF another, at q
market, either for himself or any other per-
son, on the same day that he Is seller there
Oh any OF the articles enumerated. "Any per-
son violating this section shall forfeit what il
so purchased, and shall, for every such viola
tion, pay hne of not less than S. nor more
than $50 and IL he be guilty a second time of
such violation, shall, in addition to the fine
thereof, be prohibited foyerer afterwards either
as principal or agent for another, from offer.
ing for sale, at either market. any of said ar
ticles."
Language could not be palmer. The viola
tor shall ever afterwards be prohibited from
selling, leaving no discretion with the Mayor,
the Market Committee, or the Clerk, and com :
peiling the Clerk to enforce the prohibition,
or violate his oath of Office, unless the Coun-
Gil amend It's acts. If the ordinance is proper
one, every interest demands its prompt en-
forcement. If it be Objectionable, then it
should be repealed ; for its originators never
intended the word shall to mean may as inter-
ested parties have contended.

NOVEL CAPTURE OF WHA1raA,
inst been published in England bv Prpss.sor
~ onrisuson, the result Of some experiments
suggested SO long ago as 1891 by Messrs w
ana u. Young. Of Leith for the capture Of
whales by means Of poison, the agent beine
hydrocyanic. or prussic acid. The subtle poi.
son was contained in tubes, in quantity about
two ounces. Among other difficulties one was
70 discharge the poison from the tubes at the
right tlme. After various trials the plan fixed
upon was to attach firmly to each end Of the
harpoon, near the blade, one end of strong
copper wire, the other end of which passed OBJ
lquely over the tube, thereby securing it in its
place, then through an oblique hole In the
snaft close to the upper end of the tube, and.
firmly secured. BY these means the rope
could not be drawn tight as it would, when
the harpoon attached to it struck the whale
without crushing the tubes; the poison would
then enter the whale. and death ensue. The
Messrs. Young accordingly sent q quantity
OF tubes charged with the poison by one Of
their ships engaged in the whale fishing and
on meeting with fine whale the harpoon was
skillfuily and deeply buried in It's body the
ieviathan Immediately sounded" or dived
perpendicularly downwards, but in a very
snort time the rope relaxed, and the whale rose
10 Inc surface quite dead but the men were
SO appalled, by the terrific effect of the poi
soned harpoon that they declined to use any
more OF them. Subseq uent experiments tend
TO convice The learned professor that success
will be established in this method of captur-
ing Inc mlgnty leVlathdn OF the deep
CURIOsITIKs OF THE ENGLISH NATIONAL Ac.
CoUNTs.-We learn from the accounts for the
past financial year that the annuities to the
royal family amounted to fl43 7sS, including
tne charge of $4,000 year to the King of the
beislans Among the political pensions are
payments OF f2,0O6 year to Mr.. d'Israeli, Sir
". Grey, and Lord Glenelg, on retirement
from the Cabinet. There are five pensions of
t5,0OO year to ex-Lord Chancellors, and six of
d3,ooO 10 English ex-Judges and an ex-Vice
Chancellor. This is a very long list of com
pensations charged upon the Consolidated
funo, some of them remarkable for the length
OF time they have been paid, for among the
oenenclarles are the doorkeeper and house.
maid OF the Irish House Of Lords. Other
cases are conspicuous for. the amount charged.

Going at Large.-The police are making ex-
ira efforts TO bring before the Mayor all slaves
found going at large within the limits Of the
city. and our law-abiding citizens should ri We
them all the aid within their power. The
practice of permitting servants to hire them
selves, and to get citizens to stand mas ters for
them, is ruinous in its effect, and often leads
to serious consequences. The fewest number
OF slaves will engage in hard labor if they can
keep from so doing; and this many of them
do by opening dens for the reception OF stolen
goods, and for the harboring of runaways. II
the owner of a slave wishes him to be free, let
him emancipate him and send him TO a free
State. Certainly he has no right to turn his
slave loose to the injury of the community
and when he does so he ought to be fined
heavily.

PoLITIcAL.-The New York Breckinridge
State Convention adopted a platform qually
reprobating" the sen timents of Lincoln and
Douglas, endorsing the administration of Jas.
Buchanan, and repudiating the &C ton of the
majority Of the New York delegation in re-.
naming In the recent National Convention
The following are the two last resolutions
7th. Resolved, That the pretended nomina
tion of Stephen A. Douglas for President. and
Hon. Herschell V. Johnson for Vice. President.
at Baltimore, have no sembance of regularity
whatever, and are not binding upon the DEM
ocratic party-that Mr.. Johnson was not nom.
mated by any convention or popular body
and he has not therefore, been nominated
that the nomination of Mr.. Douglas was made
by faction of a broken up Con vention in yio
adopted for its government and was in force
by minority of States which are mostly hope
lessly Republican, after the regular delera.
tions from numerous Democratic States had
been refused admission to their seats. and nv a
body which, at no time, could count a maiori.
ty of its delegates in his favor when acting
freely their sentiments.
9Th. ReSolred, That, it being reasonably an.
parent that the nominations of Breckinrides
and Lane will receive from the Sou thern and
Pacific States between 120 and 1870 electoral
votes, and that the vote of the State of New
FORK will secure their election, we earnestly
invite and urge all Democrats who would de-
sire with us the defeat of Lincoln and Hamlin
TO vote for John g. Breckenridge and JoseDh
Lane, and thus secure Democratic admins

principles by the people

AURORA BoREALIs.-A beautiful exhibition
OF the Northern Lights was seen at the North
Tuesday morning. The electricity accompa.
nying 1t was so strong as to stop the working
OF the telegraph lines. The Buffalo IN. w
Courier says;
Aoout2 O'Clock yesterday morning, as we
were vending our way homeward, magnifi-
cent nooo OF radiance leaped from the North
western horizon and surged dreamiIv inward
to the zenith. On the instant, the whole heav-
en-, excepting It's extreme Northern border
which was ghastly, phosphorescent white
became agioW with faint, rich scarlet, that
seemed the dim reflex of some far.off confia
grafton: Great billows, of a distincter hue
neeted hlther and thither across infinite de-
grees OF space, and rays of colorless flame be-
gan to dart and sway like wisps in the West
ern sky. The display lasted nearly one hour
and was one OF the grandest we ever witnessed
