The 'PIebiscite.p

Readers who have been bothered over the word
"PABisote 50 constantly occurring in the last
fortnight IN the Paris kilograms, may like to know
that it is only a high sounding name for a special
election. French literary men and politicians
have a weakness for Latin terms, and so call a
special ~eleetiOna - pLsbgSaE1n - which was a Latin
name for a law passed in those assemblies for the
people called e0Bnitid fr1buta. Strictly speaking,
the - phe5iSciHn :" is a decree thus passed by the
whole body of the people. The French form of
the word is pLe5isete, and the term is il loosely ap-
piled 10 the decree, the submission of the decree
TO vote, and the draft of the decree which is dis
cussed, as now, to the Corps Legislatif. But this
draft is also and more properly called a Sc Senatus
oonsnLtln another Latin phrase signifying
both a decree OF the Senate and a debate therein.
Regularly the " SeRGtHS c0nSuhum - was the
form by which the Roman people passed upon a
law by yea aud nay vote, but they also had the
power OF voting on measures not introduced by
the Senate, and this power of introducing laws to
the people for their vote is what in France is called
the - PLebiSotOry" power, and what the Emperor
now reserves for himself, independent of any ac-
ton his parliamer: may take. The " Seaatus
consTtum now on hand perpetuates the sover-
eign power in the Bonaparte family, and its adop-

How Merchants Cheat.

The New York correspondent of the Rochester
Democrat is an experienced merchant of the
metropolis, and thus exposes some of the wicked
smallnesses which wholesale traders practice /:
The business men of this city are very dishonest.
They have certain Z" tricks of trade, as they are
called, which are nothing less than absolute
stealing. Boxes of CASTLE soap and similar goods
are sold to country customers, who little think
that they pay for box and all at full price. The
cheating on tare is outrageous. Tea in chests is
estimated at 20 pounds tare, which is always
allowed by the importer, but a country dealer
seldom gets more than Is pounds. On half
chests II pounds is allowed, while at the same
time the dealer marks the chest up a pound or
two. This marking up of weight corresponds to
the marking down of tares. Casks of sugar,
which few country merchants can weigh, are
often marked up 20 pounds, and sometimes SO
pounds. They tell a good story of old H
H, a well known grocer on the north side,
who was notorious for his holiness in this line.
The old man became at one time somewhat pious,
and when in such a frame was asked by a clerk
who had sold a cask of sugar, if he g should 90
it 20 pounds" "NO, johnny, was the reply
"don't go over ten, for I'm under concern of
mind" Molasses, spirits, turpentine, and other
liquids are gauged up, which is very easily done.
An original gauge mark of say 81 gallons, can
be easily altered into 81, by using a gauger's
cube in a neat manner. If that is not enough,
a turn of the cube can change the 81 into IS.
As a rule with many dealers from one TO three
gallons are made in each cask. Provision dealers
steal in a different manner. Barrels of mackerel
are opened in the bottom head, and from twenty
to thirty pounds are removed, and the space filled
up with salt. When the retailer opens the barrel
he always takes off the top head, and here all
looks right, but when he gets TO the bottom he
finds a half bushel more salt than be expected.
Pork and beef are also thus stolen, and hence our
government supplies are often short, and men
suffer severely in consequence. I have referred
to but a few of the different branches of robbery
among what are called honorable
men, for a complete statement would fill a volume.
One further instance may be cited, and this is
the fraud in essential oils. 1t is next to impos-
sible, for any country druggist TO buy a pure
article of oil lemon, oil b~ergamot, oil organn1n,
or any similar oils. The reason of this is, that
spirits of turpentine mixes SO naturally with
these articles that detection is almost impossible.
In these oils our wholesale druggists make enor-
nous profits. Carrying out this idea q bold
druggist contriyed not only TO cheat country
