New York, where people "moye" every

breaking down the price of that commodity

The provision store Is in many cases de-
tided convenience. Ifyou pay little more
than in markei-and you always do-you
are pretty sure always to get the choicest of
everything. The provision man won't incur
the hazard of selling you chickens of vener-
able age. or geese that gave preservation to
ancient Rome He is very apt to be choos-
ing of his butter and the selection of his
eggs. He gets the best beef, the finest veal,
aud the plumpesl lamb. He is the god send
TO late sleepers-people who at ten o'clock
fipd that he and the hotel purveyors have
left nothing but tough old rooslers remain
ing In the farmers wagon or the poulterers
stall. He does also what the farmer cannot
do. He saves the ladies from Juggling their
baskets Ifyou don't like keeping cream
and beef in the same refrigerator over Satur-
day night in the dog days, the gentleman
will keep 1t for you. He will wlckedly de-
liver it at your door in time for the spit on
Sunday morning
While this involves early rising and hard
work. the business seems to be paying one.
Every person we ever knew to be in it made
money. In the fruit and vegetable season
they may be sometimes stuck, but their GUS
toners are generally class of people who
don't visit the general markets, and what
the dealer loses on Peter he makes you COM
pensate him when you pay for Paul.
The meat markets to- day looked slim.
During Lent this is invariably the case. The
fish dealers just now hold the trumps The
prices of butchers meat are not declining.
Should any one think so let him try to get a
first class sirloin for less than twenty eight
cents pound. Cow meat is OF course
cheaper. Lamb isn't yet in season-it will
not be for some weeks to come. Veal is
very tempting just now. What Chester and
Montgomery counties can't produce in the
way Of veal isn't to be found this side of
Smithfielj. The reason that veal is always
comparatively high is because SO many
farmers prefer the milk to the calf. They
destroy the quadrupeds from their birth.
The skin of such calf is called deacon skin
1T is the article in which are bound the
books of lawyers.
Chickens are scarce and high. When eggs
are bringing 30 10 40 cents a dozen, their
plumagc looks as respectable, if not as
gaudy, as that of turkey.

tFrom the Practical Farmer
Premium Crop of Corn in Della
ware County.

We advertised last fall of the fine corn
crop of Alexander Scott, at Concordville,
(about eleven acres, which was laid out for
100 bushels shelled corn to the acre. The
season, however, was unfavorable, owing TO
the drought, and We stated it probably would
not produce over so bushels. The crop and
field have both been since carefully measured,
and we are pleased to announce that it aver
aged 92 bushels to the acre. The ground
was ploughed eight inches deep, and to this
greater depth than ordinary ploughing may,
no doubt, be attributed the comparative i'm
munity from drought. 450 pounds bone dust
and so bushels of lime to the acre were ap-
piled in the spring and well narrowed in.
As we have heard of no heavier crop than
this the present season, and as 1t is seven
bushels more than the crop of John F. In
gram, to which was awarded the first pre-
MUM, by the Chester County Agricultural
Society, we have designated SCOTS as the
premium crop of corn in this section, till we
hear Of something better.

Judge Vernon.

We publish this morning the letter OF
Judge Vernon to the House of Repre-.
s5ntatives. This is in reply to the reso-
luton Of impeachment. There is another
resolution now before tho House, against
Judge Vernon, demanding that he should
show cause why he should not be attach
ed for contempt, in letting to bail the
L4anrens prisoners upon Aa6eas corpus.
10 this resolution, he has to make his
showing. Singular to say, the House
has refused him counsel. This is Judge
Vernon's constitutional right The House
may require that he shall appear in per-
son before it. But how, upon such q
charge, they can refuse that he be heard
by counsel. is more than we can compro-
hend. Judge Vernon is now ill, and may
not be in q condition to appear in person
this day, at o'clock. What then? Com
nit him for contempt without hear
ing! Judges of South Carolina, is that
the law?

The French Provisional Government
is once more on its travels. Tours has
been abandoned and Bordeaux selected
as the new temporary capital Of the
struggling Republic. THIS movement
W&S rendered imperative by the rapid
approach OF the Prnssians to Tonrs.
Bofdeaux is not beyond the reach OF the
swift moving German legions, and If
their leaders have determined to capture
the new. rulers of France, they will in q
short time compel them to forsake their
new abiding PLACE. Those removals Of
the seat of Government must in the end

PHOTOGRAPHY AS SCIENCE. can no
longer be denied that photography, rs n
whole, is science, and one that demands
a speedy study. Tho mass OF the people
have, unfortunately, been led to believe
otherwise, and to regard it simply in q
mechanical point of view; therefore we
deem it necessary to state, for tho benefit
of the art, and in justice to those practi-
cal photographers who have made the
profession their lifetime study, TINT it
requires of one the possession of tho
rough knowledge of chemistry, to under
stand tho philosophy of light, and to
acquire correct taste and judgment in
tho pose.and the distribution Of shades,
in order to produce a pleasing and ar
tistic picture. The eve must nccnstom
itself to detect, at n glance, any impcr-
fections occnsioned either by an awkward
position, a false ray oflight, or imperfect
condition Of chemicals, and to remove
such, in order TO create clear and bril-
liant effect. We could mention many
cnumernte them. Those beautiful Rem
brandt pictures, to be seen at Wearn G.
Hix's gallery, have brilliant and artistic
finish; while their card photographs arc
unsurpassed. We examined a set of pic
lures day or two ago, of child aged
two and half years, and pronounce the
work superior to anything Of tho kind
we have ever seen. They are certainly
experienced photographers.

The Yorkville Enquirer, referring to
the efforts made to obstruct the execu-
ton Of the writ of hu6eas corpus in the
ease OF the Laurens prisoners, says:
''Such action on the part of the State
authorities deserves the condemnation
Of all law-abiding citizens, and is rs
productive of harm on the one hand as
are the Ku Klux outrages on the other.
While it is desirable tha. the perpetra-
tors of the Laurens, as we'll as other
disturbances, shall be punished, it is due
to all suspected parties that they have q
fair hearing before the constituted
Courts; and denial Of the privilege of
tho writ of habeas corpus is stride
boding evil to the country, and not OF
all adapted to allay the bad condition of
the disjointed times. To secure strict
observance of the laws, let the law -givers
make the example, in preference to
usurping the rights and privileges of
freemen."
The same journal, referring to certain
proceedings that have occurred in that
County, rebukes the perpetrators, and
speaks good aud proper words in behalf
Of order.
Our earnest suggestion to our friends
shroughout the State is to keep thom-
selves in tho right.

The Arlington Matter in Nut-Sh ell
New EthIca.


Senator McCreery, q Kentucky gen
sleman, with the old time notions of
honesty, proposes that tho United States
Government, which had robbed the
Lees of Arlington, should restore the
property.
Senators Sumner, Morton, and other
latter-day saints of the Radical peasua-
sion, pronounce Senator McCreery O
very unreasonable mani The PROPOSE
tion is that Lee, as dead rebel, has 10
rights which ''loyap' Senator is bound
to respect. Sumner said that Stanton s
idea was to bury the Federal dead at
Arlington, so that their ghosts might
frighten any of the Lees who might
return to the ancestral home. What
would MIR. Sumner think of man who
should 60 to his estate in Massachusetts,
and bury somo Confederate dead there,
SO that their ghosts might frigltcn him
away from his property?
Such are the ethics that prevail in the
United States Senate. The United
States Government robbed the Lees of
Arlington, and now it is proposed to in
vest the deed with halo of loyalty" +"
