Artistic Skill.

Tailors want more than simple me-
chanical ability; hat does not constitute
the only attainment necessary to the &C
quirement Of perfection. To get up a
stylish suit OF clothes now-a-days requires
more than this. Artistic skill, excellent
taste and superior mechanical ability are
all necessary qualifications, and he who
attempts to es:sblish himself as a fash
ionable tailor must possess-every one of
these or surely fail. In the first-class
tailoring house Of Mr.. Herman Meyer,
southeast corner Of the Square and Sew
enth street, all these requisites are com
bined and eminently exhibited, and the
house Is noted for the fine selections of
stufs on its counters, aud for the excel
lence of its work. Mr.. Meyer has lie
ceived q very choice selection OF winter
goods, and IS now ready to put up fine
suits for gentlemen with the greatest
promptitude. In fashionableness of cut,
and neatness and durability of makeup
it is well known that the work Of this
house is unsurpassed. Also a very choice
lot of furnishing goods constantly on
hand.

-MAss1LLoN CORRESPONDENTS,

If u neighbels at Fulton will al
low US, We suggest that they put up
lights at both ends of the bridges cross
ing the canal and rlver in their village.
In a night as dark as ii was last Monday
night they would be especially useful
and might prevent the use of strong ex-
~pletives. While on tins subject we sug-
gest TO the managers of the station house
Of the L. S. Dc I. Y. Railway that they
close up that most dangerous place be-
tween the edge of their platform and the
station house, at Fulton, on the north
side. 1t is simply a disgrace to the road
to neglect 1t longer. Mayor Case should
give II his attention for the credit Of the
village of which he is the chief magis-
trate.

"SwopE," alias Fritz Alexander, a Well
known character of our city, was sent to
Jail again on Monday last for disturbing
the peace of the city. The period for
which he is consigned IS thirty days and
the fine $40 and costs making in all
SIS. So. OF course "Swope" pays no
costs and the Mayor IS the only authority
who gets his costs out of the city in
such cases. The Sheriff, for keeping him
on bread and water, viii get $3.50 out
of the city treasury. 1t is estimated
that "Swope" costs this city a hundred
or more dollars a year. 1t Is only some
two weeks since he was in five days. He
is a general nuisance, and we suggest the
city board him in the cslahoose. This
would be much cheaper. At all events
some mode should be devised TO get nd Of
this costly nuisance. ''Swope" always re.
fuses to tell where he gets his whisky
otherwise a healthy prosecution might b'
commenced.

Knowing well too, that the young men
