A NEW POLITICAL PARTY.

The temperance men of the country
representing some of the greatest
minds and brightest intellects-have
been holding two days convention at
Saratoga. 1t is a pleasant thing, for
those who can afford it, to go once a
year to Saratoga, or some other fash
ionable resort, and spend two or three
days in talking of Glove for the cause"
and conclude the deliberations of the
session by passing the stereotyped reso-
lutions Of years ago" that We will at
once proceed to organize third party,
having for its object the elevation to
Office of men of known temperance
principles" The theory may be
good one, but there is considerable diff
Guilty involved in carrying it out.
Laws for the suppression of intern.
perance may be necessary, but we do
not see how they are to be obtained by
the passage of resolutions by the lead
ers of the temperance party, which the
rank and file fail to carry into execu-
ton. We shall watch with earnestness
the result of the resolves passed at Sara
toga yesterday. They do not expect the
immediate triumph of their cause, as
they voted to hold grand national mass
meeting in 1876, in connection with the
centennial exhibition.

DISGRACEFUL.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-The board
of health inspected the University OF
Pennsylvania, recently bought for a
post office, this morning. In the north
ern portion OF the cellar they discover
ed two compartments, in each of which
were six deep vaults, all of which ex-
cept one were filled with human re-
mains.
From one not quite filled the lid was
removed, showing human body rest
ing on top of dreadful mass OF flesh,
bones, etc, with which the pit was well
nigh filled. A string was tied to lamp
which was lowered into the pit. The
light was extinguished by the foul air.
The party went through the building.
At almost every step human remains
met the eye. Skulls, trunks, arms, legs,
hands, and feet were scattered about
the building in prolusion and here and
there large cylindrical Shiny vessels were
found full of human remains which
seemed to be scattered from roof to
cellar.
In the apartment on the upper floor
was found the lower half of skeleton,
with much of the flesh muscles, ETC., at
tached. 1t is said that some years ago,
when the authorities of the University
made the contract to clean out one of
the pits, the contractor was paid one
thousand dollars, and he found it al
most impossible to keep men at work
till the job was completed, even by pay
ing out nearly four hundred dollars more
than he received.

THE NEW GERMAN RIFLE.

The manufacture of the Mauser rifle
for the German army is proceeding so
rapidly that private memorandum has
recently been issued laying down the
order in which it is to be issued to the
six army corps about to receive it. The
list begins with the Guards, and pro-
ceeds successfully to the Third, Second,
Tenth, Eighth and Eleventh regiments.
The ordinary Summer course of mus
kerry instruction at Spandau-a course
borrowed originally, as German military
writer's acknowledge, from the English
course at Hythe-is not to be held this
year, the whole force of the school be-
ing devoted to instructing the detach-
ments about to be sent there in the use
of the new weapon. Every infantry
and rifle battalion in the six corps
above mentioned has been directed to
send one officer, two sergeants and an
armorer sergeant to Spandau for this
purpose. These will take the place
lately filled by similar detachments
which have been under training from
every cavalry regiment which is to re-
ceive the new breech-loader made from
the captured Chassepots converted into
carbines. All dragoon, hussar and Uh.
Ian regiments have been thus prepared,
and therefore, presumably, are to con-
tinue to carry fire arms. The short
needle-guns hitherto in use by these
various sorts of light cavalry are to be
handed over to the men of the trans
port train. The number of field guns
of the new pattern finally approved is
also being completed. Under the new
organization of the artillery they will
require supply of two thousand three
hundred and forty guns, there being
three hundred and ninety-one batteries

ABOUT THE WINTER FURs.

Ssalskin sacques, boas and muffs have
been imported in such large quantities
as to warrant the assertion that this will
be the leading fur this season. 1t is a
noticeable feature that what are called
the American shapes to these wraps are
preferred that is those defining the
figure, and with moderately tight
fitting coat sleeve. The loose English
shape is bought cautiously by the ex-
perienced jobbers. Prices vary from
seventy-five dollars to one hundred and
sixty dollars. Sets consisting of muff
and boa to match, from thirteen dollars
to thirty-fve dollars. In cheap domes-
tic furs black cooney is in demand at
two dollars and thirty-seven cents to
three dollars per set. Black marten

half to nine dollars real, from sixteen

for children, muff and collar or boa,
from one dollar and sixty-two cents to
eight dollars or ten dollars. Sacques
with or without imitation fox border,
from six dollars to twelve dollars. Gaps,
plain band or with fox bands, ten dol
lars to sixteen dollars per dozen. White
fox and misses, and opera sets, muff
