Usurpation.

The Washington Patriot maintains
that the protection which President
Grant has extended to Dominica
against IIayti is Just as fragrant O
usurpation of the war power as if be
had undertaken TO establish a protcc.
torato over Ireland against England
the principle not being at all affected
by the fact that Hayti is too weak 10
resent the outrage. The fact that the
treaty which could alone furnish the
shadow of justification for the Presi.
dents action was made void through
rejection by the Senate increases the
onormity of tho wrong
The cool deliberation with which
President Grant has utterly ignored
the requirements Of the laws where
they did not suit him, and substituted
his own will as being superior to all
Legislation, is at once startling and
suggestive, as il is certainly without
precedentin the history ofthis country
The fact that in several instances Of
this kind-as in ordering the census
retaken in Philadelphia and in this
city, and in the appointment of men
TO offices which they were legally dis
qualified to hold-the objects TO be at
tanned by his extraordinary proceed
ings were trivial in their nature, does
not lessen the gravity of the offence
That the Chief Executive of the nation
chooses to disregard the law in his
official acts when it conflicts with his
owR inclinations can be but poorly
excused by the plea that he had no
strong reasons for his unlawful course.

PAPER UNDERoLoTHEs AND SPREADS.
1.-The japanese paper handkerchiefs
are assuredly coming, ifa contemporary
be right. The paper collar manufao-
ture now has been extended to less
prominent but more important gar
ments of grent strength and flexibii.
W, which can be sowed with ma
chine, giving seams almost as strong
as woven fabric The inventor has
particularly applied it to the produc-
tion of petlicoats, which are either
printed in imitation of tho fashionable
skirts Of the day, or stamped out with
open work Of such beauty and delicacy
as no amount of labor With scissors
and needle could initiate, The mar
vel is that these really beautiful pro.
ductions can be sold al retail at fifteen
cents each
Imitation cretonnes and chintz for
bed furniture are also mado, set
costing at retail about $3.50. The
fcltcd material is so flexible that a
curtain may be twisted into a rope
and shaken out again, showingas
little crcasing as chintz similarly
treated. There are also tablecloths
embossed with signs of great beauty.
This felted paper may in tho end have
n serious influence on the production
of the woven fabrics it is intended to
displace. Imitation leather, impermea-
BILE to water, is likewise made of it,
and produces cheap and useful COW
ering for furniture, and even serves
for shoes.-Pdper Trade Reporter.

What is said about Advertising.

There is no lrner saying than that
"Sweot are the uses of advertise
monts."
Blessed are they who do not adver.
tisc, for they shall rarely be troubled
with customers.
The New York Erening Post says
advertising is the financial railway
20 success. II is an art possessed by
few; but those few arc the merchant
princes Of to day" lIr y
An exchange says; "You might
as well attempt to shampoon the head
of an elephant with n thimble full of
soapsuds as TO attempt to do business
and ignore printers ink" That's SO
The editor of the Massilon Ameri.
can means business. This is what he
says:
"Patronizo those who patronize
you, is our motto. We shall deal
with and send our friends 10 deal only
with merchants and business men who
advertise We may be compelled to
buy, sometimes, from those who do
hot patronllc us, out only whon we
can't do otherwise" nfa
And yet another says:
i. "a man who was too mean TO ad.
vertise land he wanted to sell pat a
Wrtten notice in one Of the hotels the
other day. A man who was inquiring
pr small farm was referred to the
"rltten notice, when he replied: al
cant buy land at fair price from
any man who docs his advertising in
that way. He'd steal the fence tbe
pump handle, and the barn doors, be.
fore he gave up possession"
The Chicago Tribune asks and gets
slO,562 a column per year for advcr.
tising. The business men Of that city
do not hesitate 10 pay that price, for
tho reason that every dollar thus ju.
diciously invested win bring an in.

TROUBLE IN NEW YORK CHURCH-Be-
fore the beginning Of the service Sunday
morning in the Emanuel church, 57th street.
Rev. Geo. L. Thrall, the rector, stated that for
nearly three Years revised prayer book has
been in course of preparation by number of
divines both in this country and in England
with the intent to exclude from it those pas
ages which had given rise to controversy and
contention in the church and to SO frame the
work as to make it acceptable to christians of
all denominations who desired litugry. This
work after much consultation and labor has
Just been issued and the rector stated that he
had received unanimous request from his
vestry to conduct services hereafter according
to the union prayer book Having conclude
to yield to this request he bad sen in his resig-
nation to Bishop Potter as presbyter of the
Diocese, which left him free to use the new
ritual as desired. At the conclusion of these
remarks copies of the Uoion Prayer Book
was distributed among the congreg alton and
the services proceeded according to the revised
ritual. The congregation seemed pleased with
the changes made in the old form and respsnd-
ed with great heartiness. AS far as could be
seen not one was dissatisfied with the action
of the vestry and rector. At the close Of the
sermon Rev. Mason Gallagher stated that he
heartily endorsed the new prayer book and
was glad that at last it had made its appear
euce, tending, as he believed it would, to
bring christian people of different names more
closely together.
