HE SENSITIVE GROCER.-Th NeWburvpOrt
Herald tells of a grocer who formerly kept
shop there, and was noted for his grasping
! disposition
One day he nailed up salt cod on one of
the shutters of his shop, and underneath he
| wrote in chalk. Goldfish for sale cheap
for cash here'' Presently, in came
an acquaintance, and said, "What do you have
here on that sign about Goldfish for? You
don't sell Goldfish or any other goods in any
place but here. Any fool would know where
you sold them without that word Chats
| so, said the grocer; " boy wipe out the
word here from the Goldfish sign" The boy
obeyed, and the next day another critic ap
peared. Said he, "For cash who ever knew
you to trust for any goods? Why do you say
that you sell Goldfish for cash, when every
| body knows that you sell all your goods for
cash ?" You are right" said the grocer ;
''boy, wipe out the words for cash from the
Goldfish sign' This was done, and shortly af-
ter third critic came to the shop Directing
i to the word cheap" t'Who ever knew you
to undersell other dealers ?' said he, [" you
don't sell any cheaper than they. Your price
is just the same as theirs. and more if you can
get it. Cheap what do you have that word
for - "Well, it is not of much use'' said the
grocer; " boy, wipe out the word cheap ;
from the Goldfish sign" Again the boy did
as bis master babe, and the same day critic
number four found fault with the phrase "for
sale" Said he, "For sale! no one ever knew
I.you 10 give away cCdhsh. Vi course you Keep
them for sale, there is no occasion for telling
people what everybody knows" "There is
} something in that" said the grocer " boy
:, wipe out for sale from the Goldfish sign"
This left the salt fish and the single word
d" Goldfish" beneath. 1t was but few mo.
ments after that customer who came in to
buy some goods remarked to the grocer,
:" What funny sign you've got out here
what darned fool wouldn't know that is a
Goldfish nailed on your shutter?' $50 they
would, !" was the reply, hoy, wipe out the
l,word Goldfish from that sign The boy

WOMEN AND HAIR OIL.-One Of those gen
tie and breezy Saratoga scolds remarks -
Now, there is no more use Of putting grease
on your hair than there is for putting it on
your hands. You people, say, who grease
your hair are just as barbar0us as the Co.
manche Indian who greases his face A gen
tleman will never fall in love with a soiled
woman. She must be sweet. Have you'never,
in so called polite society, met young lady
square washing? Now, this is plain, homely
talk. European court circles do more bath
ing zen to one, than the bourgeose. Indeed,
in Rusaia--in Moscow, where you see the
sweetest blonde women in the world-they
have tour lighthouses, each as large as the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. Once daily, every man
and woman of patrician blood plunges all
over, head and all, under pure, sparkling, re-
|juvenating water, This makes the hair light
colored-gives it q feecy, airy appearance
and gives to the homelieet something of the
angelic"

President UranC, ana frequent signs OF
disa1Fcction toward him, reveal its de
clining appreciation of even these great
moral ideas it bad already espoused For
to which Of the grand undertakings and
precious interests of the Republican
party, at the time of his election, has he
been found unfaithful To not one OF
them. Identified, therefore, as he is,
with them all, and the most prominent
upholder OF them all, every one Of chem
is necessarily disparaged when he is ira.
duced or undervalued. For the Repub
lican party to turn it's back upon Presi-

It's honorable pa>t-upon the past Of its

mains the same man he was in those DAYS
He iias proven himself to be free rom
the accursed spirit Of caste, and true to
the equal rights of all men-0f the red
man and black man as we'll as the white
man. He has deferred to the popular
will, instead of moulding and fostering a
policy Of his own. He has proved with
what entire sincerity it was that, in ell.
tering upon his office, he expressed his
desire for peace. The late treaty between
England and America, in the credit OF
which he shares so largelyis the grandest
and most suspicious peace measures the
world has ever seen. The rapidity with
which We are paying our national debt is
u high proof of his wisdom and honesty
And yet, such President no very small

no very smll share of its leadefs-seen

If he who confessedly did more than an,
other man to save our country in the per

peace has all gone to make that peace
more perfect and more blessed, cannot b,
made our next President, what Rcpubli

4, The present administration Of the
National Government has vindicated its
right to the continued confidence of the
people; its success has been illustrated
in the impartial execution Of the laws,
in It's faithfulness, honesty and economy
in the collection of public revenues, and
in the expenses of the Government so
that, while taxation has been reduced to
the extent OF $l00,000,O0O per wear, the
national debt has been liquidated to the
amount Of $230,000,000, reduction un-
.paralleled in history. The ,administra-
ton has been equally successful in the
management of our foreign relations, and
has achieved imperishable honor in the

Measurement of Gas.

Some party Imaginary we think is
said to have made complaint against
the meters Of the gas company-alleging
that they register against the consumer
We have made inquiries, and find that
the company has it as a standing rule
that parties may purchase their own
meters, set them themselves, use what
ever regulator they may choose, and the
company will be governed by such in
strumentsi provided it be from stand
ard manufacturer and shall have been
properly tested. The Louisville Railroad
Company has adopted this plan, and as
yet there has arisen no difference be-
tween the corporations. And again, it
was thoroughly settled some years since
by the investigations Of committee of
the House of Commons in England, that
in all cases sohere a meter Is defectire ii
operates to the prejudice Of the COM
pdny. This is a fact which cannot be
gainsaid. If parties would take the
trouble toinyestigate--or had no interest
in perverting the truth-it would be
found that corporations are not all man
aged with an eye singly to fraud and
deception. There are generally two sides
to every story.
