Confidence People.

The number of confidence swindlers
in the city has been increasing within
the last week. Yesterday a lady from
the country was pricing some things IN
a furniture store on Main street, and ac-
cidently displayed pocket-book well
filled with greenbacks. As she left the
store a well-dressed man spoke to her,
saying he saw she desired to buy set oil
furniture; that there was beautiful set
on board the steamer Spray, at the land
ing, belonging to lady who was anxious
to dispose of it at a ruinous sacrifice.
He dilated on the beautiful set for some
time, and suggested that she should go
down to the boat and see it. Calling
small boy near by, he informed the lady
that this lad would go with her. Sus-
pecting something was wrong, she de-
,lined the offer and said she would send
Town 10 the boat. The confidence man
Ind boy followed her for some squares,
Until they discovered they we're noticed,
when they disappeared. They were, no
loubt, waiting for an opportunity to
,rab the pocket-book and slope, but in
his they were accidentally foiled.

THE cARPRT-RAGaERs

After sending the miserable carpet
baggers to the South with commissions
in their pockets to govern the country,
some Of the more influential Radical
authorities Of the North are drawing
their profles with a vim and a skill un-
known to Southern artists. The reader
has looked upon Horace Greeley's pic
ture Of them We now offer for the in-
spection and admiration Of the public,
a piece Of carpet-bagger statuary CHS
eled by Bowles, the sculptor of the
Springfield Mass. Republican:
They are doing more harm to the
country to-day than the locust or cater
pillar, OF any other kindred pest. They
are teaching the less intelligent and
discriminating SOutherners TO despise
and hate the Northern people more
heartily than ever; they are debauching
the freedmen; they are bringing dis
grace upon the great Republican party
and upon the National Government.
That their Tspacity is Unsuitable, and
that they steal every penny they can
lay their hands on, are comparatively
trivial counts in the Indictment against
them. Yet this constant plundering is
a very serious matter TO the communities
which are plundered. It means in
creased indebtedness and heavier taxa
ton. Il is just such rascality that il

AN ARMED PARTY.

They are organizing the militia in Ar
kansas. The Radicals intend to carry
the election next year by stroke of
policy unknown in American politics
until it was pulled out through Grants
cigar. To carry an election by force of
arms is something new in this country.
Never in its history were the military
employed to carry elections until man
whom fortune seems to have employed
TO reverse the old maxim that Knowl-
edge is power acceded, by freak ofwar,
to power The arming of the negroes OF
Arkansas is an Illustration Of the tactics
the robbers and the wreckers intend to
practice next year to sustain themselves
in power. They intend to use the bay
onet They live by the bayonet. Take
il from them and they run into the jaws
of famine. They exist on fried bay
oness for breakfast, baked bayonets for
dinner, and they depend on the swell OF
bayonets, poles, drums and flies for sup
Der. They are essentially military IN
their aspirations. Heaven may have
mercy on them, but man Is unequal 10

The Scientific American gives the fol
lowing tests of good petroleum; l. The
color should be white or light yellow,
with blue reflections; clear yellow indi-
Gates imperfect publication, or adulter-
alton with inferior oil, 2 The odor
should be faint, and not disagreeable.
3. The specific gravity at CO., Fahren-
heit ought not to be below O.795, nor
above OS0i. 4. When mixed with an
equal volume of sulphuric acid OF the
density of l.53, the color ought not to
become darker, but, on the contrary,
lighter. A petroleum that satisfies all
of these conditions, and possesses the
proper flashing point, may be set down
as a pure and safe article.

furore of excitement Manager Broom
