CoMardIy Assault.

A most unprovoked and dastardly outrage was
committed in Westfeld last week. A young man
named Aiken from Lowell, Mass, was travelling
through the country, tuning pianos, repairing
clocks, etc lie had been into Dryers shop at
Troy to have a little job Of work done. Aiken
claimed that it was not according to contract, and
as it was worthless to him, refused to take or pay
him for it,, and left town. Soon afterwards,
Dryer, in company with Dan Ducelo. started in
pursuit of Aiken with Ducello's team. They
overlook him in Westfeld, near d. A. Winslow y
house and after high words sruck him with his
fist, knocked him down and continued beating
aud kicking the face and head Of the helpless man
as he laid on the ground. Apparently satisfied
with his work he jumped into the wagon and
drove of. This was in plain sight Of four OF five
witnesses, and when Mr. Wnslow reached the
spot, Aiken was lying on the ground in hall
insensible condition, with the blood streaming
from his nose and mouth. lie was taken into
the house and cared for, but was quite unwell loi
several days after Wednesday night complaint
was entered before the town grand juror, anJ
Dryer after a hearing before Justice llodsdeI
Of Troy, was fined s. and costs. 1t was tn,

high spirited, became unmanageable, and backed
directly of the bank Of the stream, which is there

FoREIaN MINERS LIoENsE.--In his last issue
our cotemporary says Congress is to blame for
the non-coection of the Foreign Miners tax.
The fact is the Foreign Miners License Tax
never was constitutional. 1t was made by Dem
ocrats for all foreigners, without regard to race
or color, and Democratic Sheriffs have time and
again sold out the property Of European foreign
miners as well as Chinese miners, for the tax,
many times with n six shooter leveed on them
The European foreign miners claimed exemption
under the treaty, and as the Democratic admin
istration OF Pierce and Buchanan extended to
the Chinese the same rights, privileges and i'm
munites of the most favored nations, they too
were legally entitled to personal rights as other
aliens, Congress is simply carrying out in good
faith the guarantees made by the Democracy
while in power, and as long as such treaty
stands it should be respected. If this don't
suit the only remedy Is abrogation OF the treaty,
but as long as Governor Haight and Senator
Casserly sit down and dine at Chinese banquets
and bid God speed to more intimate relations
with China, it is evident no such movement will
be attempted with sincerity by the Democracy.

HAIL, HEAVENLY PEACE The project of set
Ting the existing differences between England
and the United States peaceaoly, by joint com
mission, is the first great measure which has
been brought forward under President Grants
administration. If this undertaking is success
fully carried out, General Grant will be enti-
tied to the thanks of the whole civilized world.
The interest of the people is to have peace

The Sun is bitterly hostile 20 the President
1t has given him credit for no good act. 1t has
impugned his motives in everything. Now it
tells us that if the undertaking of the Joint
Peace Commission "is successfully carried
through, General Grant will be entitled to the
thanks of the whole civilized world" There is
something gained when enemy like the Sun
feels obliged to concede so much as this to the
credit of President Grant.-Lockport Journal.

THE LOWEST TYPE OF HUMANITY--On the ISL
and of Borneo there has been found certain
race of wild creatures, Of which kindred varie-
ties have been discovered in the Philippine
Islands, in Terra del Fuego, and in South Amer
ica. They walk unusually, almost erect on two
legs, and in that attitude measure about four
feet in hight. They dark, wrnkled and
hairy. They construct no habtations, form no
families, scarcely associate together, sleep in
caves or trees, feed on snakes and vermin, on
ants, eggs and on each other. They cannot be
tanned or forced to any labor, and are hunted
among the trees like the great gorilla, Of which
they are stunted copy. When they are cap
tured alive, one finds with surprise that their
uncouth jabbering sounds like articulate Lam
guage. They turn up human face to gaze at
their captors, and females show instincts of mod
esty; and in fine, these wretched beings are

rer had been overruled, Mr. jackson was ar

REMARKABLE SERIES OF FoRGERIEs.
have just been brought to light in this city-re-
markable, not so much on account of the amount
involved, but because their successful execution
required the imitation of fifteen different hand
writings, and the limitations are so like the orig
inals that none but experts could tell the differ
ence. The perpetrator of the crime is a young
man, named Joseph Edwards, who was formerly
employed as Clerk to the Senate and has lattery
been working in the Recorders Office. While in
this last position, he signed the names of fifteen
of his fellow clerks to pay-warrants of one hun
dred dollars each, and then under the pretense
that he had purchased them at a discount but
was in immediate want of money, sold them to
a saloon keeper with whom he had some business
transactions. The saloon keeper presented them
at the Treasury when they became due, and they
would have been paid, had not one of the Re-
corGers clerks, who happened to be in the office,
had his curiosity excited by seeing his own name
attached to one of the documents. This led to
inquiry and exposure, with consequent arrest
of the skillful penman who now stands an ex-
cellent chance of becoming unit in the monthly
returns of the number of prisoners confined in
San Quentin. SoRIBBLER

THE Louisville Courier-JournaI (Democratic)
in the following paragraph makes an open con-
fession of the real difference between the two
great political parties of the day. lt..reminds us
of the candor of the late Mike Walsh, who said
the grog shops were the chief nurseries of the
Democracy
"The great 'fnstrumentality through which
Radicalism attains power and place is Mind
with little assistance from Money the great
instrumentality through which the Democracy
attains the same ends is Ignorance. Wherever
Radicalsm prevails there Learning lifts her clas-
sic head, and from her ambrosial locks scatters
intellectual light and loveliness abroad and
wherever Democracy obtains a foothold, there
Ignorance erects her shrnes and her altars be-
fore which her blind and ragged votaries pros
trate themselves in the dust and sing peans in
her praise. Is it not strange, then, that Dem
ocrat who is true to bis principles and his party
never approaches school house without in
stinctively feeling in his pockets to see if he has
such thing about him as box of matches or
a can of nitro-glycerine. 1t is to the Democratic
party the poet refers when he tells us that
where ignorance is bliss II is folly to be wise ;
Which of these pictures is the most attractive
Every American citizen can take his choice"

TooTH-PIcKs.-A sentence is going the rounds
of the papers, which is most pernicious, that one
tooth pick is worth bushel of tooth brushes.
The people must get into the habit of weighing
every practical statement in reference to the
health and wellbeng of our bodies, or they will
be led by specious statements, striking com
parisons, or popular names, to many hurttul
habits. practices and observances. Every dem
tst knows that the more n tooth-pic is used
the more the yielding gum is pressed upward
and the larger the space becomes between the
teeth next the gum, the larger will be the pieces
of food that will lodge there and the greater the
necessity of the use of the tooth-pick for the re-
mainder of life, and to some extent the solid
tooth itself may away.
If the tooth is hollow it ought to be extracted
or filled with gold at the earliest moment pos
sibe, so as to prevent decay and a noisome
breath.
To be under the necessity of spending five or
ten or more minutes after each meal in picking
the teeth is a great and useless waste of time,
and is essentially loafng and indecent prac-
tice, unless done in ones private room. On the
other hand, the intelligent dentist knows that
the judicious of tooth brush Immediately
after each meal, twisting it up and down side
ways, so that each briste becomes soft tooth
pick, and gently dislodges particles of food,
while at the same time it hardens the gum,
makes it more firm, causes it to grow more fully
into any crevces, and fills them up more per-
fectly. Whether by pick or brush the same i'm
portant end is sought, to keep the teeth clean,
because its the only way of preserving them,
and the want of it the certain means of their
speedy destruction in almost every case. The
true statement of the proposition is to reverse it
and say tina. one toothbrush is worth n cart
load of the indecent and always hurtful tooth
picks.-HaWS Journal Of Health.
