Frontier SMUGGLING.

Towns a'on the Canadian frontier,
particularly Niagara, are daily made
the scene Of smuggling operations, to
detect which taxes all the energies of
revenue officers. The government is
cheated out of thousands of dollars
every year, not by professional SNUG
glers, whose bearing very often betrays
them. but by persons apparently in
good social positions, who cannot re-
sit the desire to procure
cheap silk dresses, thread
lace, kid gloves, and other
articles of the sort by means of short
trip into Canada. In order to prevent
this cheating, large force OF detec.
tives and searchers is stationed at the
Suspension Bridge, and an organized
band OF spies travels on the trains and
visits Canada towns These search all
suspected persons, but visit detection
with no punishment but the seizure of
concealed goods. Canada shopkeepers
are said often to be in collision with
their customers, and to render them
every possible assistance in these SNUG
Cling operations.

A Poor Speculation.

Last spring some $4,000 were sub
scribed by the Troy admirers of base
ball to form tho Haymaker Base ball
Association. The season was q most
improbable one, and after one or two
calls upon the stockholders it was
found that the liabilities of the club
would cat up not only the earnings but
the entire capital subscribed. The
stockholders were asked to remit the
balance o. their subscriptions to the
treasurer, but having failed to do so
the claims were placed in the hands of
Flagg 4 Neary for collection, and there
il considerable swearing in consequence.
One gentleman is out 81 900 and several
others from $500 to $500. If base ball
was Improbable last year, We think
now that next season it will be the
deadest kind of a failure. The thing is
played out. troy Times.

A writer in the Western Rural, allud.
ing to the frequent necessity of shoe.
ing teams that are much driven in win
ter, says the best way to make the
calks OF the shoes to have them last, is
to take steel from the xorn-out sections
of your reapers, which are always at
hand, unless they have been carelessly
thrown away, split the calks, and insert
a small piece therein, weld it we'll and
sharpen SO that the steel is even with
the sharpenel calk. In use, the iron,
being much softer than the steel, wears
away much faster, and the steel being
thin und strong, will keep al edge, or
point, as it may be, for a long time.

The Consultations Predetermined.


DR.. B. A. Gould, by the liberality of
his own family and that ofhis wife, has
been enabled, says the Boston Daily
Advertiser. to avail himself of the in
vention of Lewis NJ. Rutherford to OBJ
tain photographs of the principal con-
stellations in the southern heavens.
Professor Peirce, in letter to the Hon.
Josiah Quincy, thus testifies to the i'm
portance of this invention:
This addition to astronomical re
search is unsurpassed by any step of
the kind that has ever been taken. The
photographs afford just us good an or
portunity for new and original lnves
tigation Of the relative position of the
nearer stars as would be derived from
the stars themselves, as seen through
the most powerful telescopes. They
are indisputable facts, unbiased by per-
sonal defects of observation, and Which
convey to all future time the actual
places of the stars when the photo.
graphs were TAKEN"
ID. Setback, P. D., scientific photog-
rapher, after passing some weeks in the
observatory of Mr. Rutherford, has sail
ed for Buenos Ayres with all the ap-
paratus for obtaining these photog-
raphs. Seventeen maps of the south
ern heavens have been drawn by DR..
Gould and his four assistants, and they
have labored assiduously in making the
calculations requisite TO estimate the
magnitude and ind the position ofeach
star. The brilliant clearness of the sky
has enabled them to find many more
than were previously known. Argeland-
er writes that "no work could be more
important"
When IN American astronomer, aid
ed by IN American inventor, can OBJ
tain exact photographs of the great
southern constellation, most valuable
addition will be made to astronomical
science, OF which Americans may be
justly proud.

Passed TllrOl,wh the Fire.

Tho great jewelry house Of N: Matson h
Co., though burnt out, at the October fire,
is reopened at AL Wabash avenue with .
full and magnificent stock OF diamonds.
American and fine imported watches, rich
YER and plated ware, French clocks, bronzes,
Russian leather goods, etc., which thoy
offer to tho trade, 1t the lowest cash prices.
Tho senior partner. Mr. Matson, has boen in
tho business twenty five years, been burnt
out twice, and always paid his obligations in
full. Mr.. Pike, but five years partner, il

and Higley, have grown up in the business.
and the whole combination make the strong
est business firm. Though their loss by the
fire was large, they asked no favors, paid
everything at maturity, and now display
the Northwest. Their great succcss, in ~
curing q much larger trade than any other
jewelry house in the West, has not been
achieved by putting, but, is duo

to buy to the best advantage and sell at the

No class OF gOOtls offers greater Opportunl-
ties or temptations for deception and fraud
than jewelry, and it il the browning merit of
this house, that their goods are always just
what they are represented to be, and that
purchasers here are sure to get their moneys
worth.
Tho reputation Of this house, At the East,
Is as good AZ in the West. Having occasion,
recently, to inquire Of some Of the leading
jewelry houses IN New York, - to their
commercial standing in that city, they replied,
tina: they had known Mr.. Matson for
twenty-f five years, and the firm Of N. Matson
L. Co., since it had existence, that the
mouse was Jfrst-class in all respects, with I.
character always to be relied on, and capital
far in excess Of their business requirements :;
that they had not asked for extension or CON-
promise since the fire, but had pad all their
bills at maturity; that their capital, despite
their losses by fire. was ample, and their
credit unimpaired. 1t is but natural that .
house with aac!l a character and record. sus
