G5- On Thursday of last week the 9th ware
of New York city was again the scene OF the de
struction of an indefinite number of illicit stills
1t will be remembered that about six weeks age
a squad of $50 Marines were employed to aid ant
protect the revenue officers in their work o
breaking up the Illicit stills that were operating
in defiance of the government, without paying
the legitimate tax. On Thursday last there were
$50 officers and men detailed for the work :
They separated into squads of ten men each, led
by revenue officer and armed with picks, axes
crow bars, shovels and hammers. They began
their work about clock A. NJ. By Al P. NJ
they had destroyed three copper stills, FIVE worm;
and fifteen barrels of whisky, besides pumping
into the street about 1870, 600 gallons of mash
which in few days would have been converted
into 800 barrels of whisky. Bricks AND other
missiles were sometimes thrown, but the soldier;
kept the crowd at bay, sometimes charging then
with fixed bayonets.

SENSIBLE OUTLOOK Professor Warehouse of
Washington University, st. Louis has written a
letter to Governor B. Gratz Brown OF Missouri
urging upon him the adoption of measures that
will secure the immigration of skilled artisans
TO that State. Prof. Waterhouse states that
France is now engaged in depicting war, which
throws great number of skilled workmen out
of employment and that it will be considerable
time before she will recover from the mischief
In the meantime the men who are thus thrown
out of employment will seek work and a home
elsewhere. Prof. Warehouse says to Governor
Brown that now is the time TO do something to
secure these men while they are floating without
a resting place. And he asserts very confident
ly that it only needs an effort on the part of the
State to secure goody number of these people.
We think with Prof. Waterhouse, and would
suggest to our Governor that something be done
by 'My Maryland" to secure her share of this
class of workmen. Those who are on the look
out and use the necessary appliances will succeed
in their purpose, will secure the workmen, while
those who make no effort and hold out no in
ducement will be relieved of their skill.

gs1- The Ant-Masonic League which was re-
Gently formed in Iowa, will not (:f they be faith
full to their pledges) ''vote for trade with, buy
from, or have any other business relations with
Freemasons." The League numbers about thir-
ty people, as we hear. They will not alter the
course OF the business Of the State much ~
Y Express.
1t will be a relief to those specially interested
in Iowa, to learn that the thirty bigots will not
be able to "alter the business of the State -
They might as well attempt to reverse the cur
rent of the rivers, as to damage the prosperity OF
the Masonic Order. It's membership is increas-
ing with unprecedented rapidly and its useful
ness is, daily, becoming more generally Snown
and acknowledged. That score and teus~'f antics
might learn profitable lesson by reading the
fable describing the unsuccessful attempt at
gnawing file.

that the extreme bitterness of the bitters is
overcome, forming preparation highly agreea-
BILE and pleasant to the palate, and containing
the medicinal virtues of the Btters. The price
of the Tonic is $3.50 per Bottle, which many
persons think too high. They must take into
consideration that the stimulant is guaranteed
to be of a pure quality. A poor article could
be furnished at a cheaper price, but is it not
better to pay little more and have a good
article? A medicinal preparation should con-
tain none but the best ingredients; and they

e- Rumor says that Secretary Fish will
soon retire from the Cabinet and that Senator
Morton will be his successor. This rumor was
put afoat some time since, and il was after
wards said that Mr.. Fish could not vel retire
in consequence of the pending wars in Europe
and the threatened war that the United States
might find upon her hands.
II is thought that if Secretary Fish should
retire at present, it would result in a serious
delay ofthe vigorous prosecution Of the Alabama
claims.
He is an efficient, able Cabinet officer, and
the administration could not well afford to lose
him az this time.
