A Boston provision dealer, whose account
were overhauled by an officer the other day
had peculiar method of bookkeeping. On
charge was to the little, short, middle-aget
woman in spectacles, who comes in once
week !" another item was placed to the nc
count of "the big, red-haired woman arount
the corner"
Mr.. Beecher preached Friday night upor
the subject of Heaven, which he thought
was "something more than mere place tt
escape into from being burned; more than g
place of refuge from the inquietudes and dis
aurbances Of this life. That idea ought
scarcely to enter into our heads" It proba
bly did not enter into Mr.. Beecher's when he
-aeven wished that he were dead"
SrAuB.-The return Of Christmas time and
Joyous associations connected with the season,
naturally call to mind the tales Of Yule tide
and the merrie olden times. Staub, So Canal
street, has an ample stock Of all the choicest
story tales as well as the higher lights in lit
.erature, bound suitably for presents. He also
keeps for his hosts of customers, the latest
Northern and Western exchanges at the
cheapest rates. Staub supplies St. Nicholas,
santa Claus and Papa Noel with story books
HALEY.-If aimanacs were all destroyed
the tasteful display in Haleys store would at
once announce the approach of the festival
season Of the year. The handsomely
illustrated gift books, the brightly illustrated
pictorials and the rare collection of choice
articles of luxury would give notice that
Christmas was near if nothing else did. We
were the recipients this morning of sample
of Ha!ey's taste in the way Of a batch of his
latest periodicals and journals, and can testify
to their merits. Remember 10 Commercial
Alley in your holiday purchases.
IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION. Memphis,
on Friday last, in the United States District
Court, motion to quash the indictment
against the Gibson county (Tenn.) Ku-Klux,
ON the ground of want Of jurisdiction of the
court, and the fact that they are under indict-
ment for the same oftenso in State court of
Tennessee, was sustained BY Judge Ballard,
and the prisoners discharged. This decision
is important as denying the jurisdiction of
the United States Courts, under the enforce
ment law, in criminal cases punishable by
the penal laws Of the State.
The way to solve the problem of mixed
schools quietly and peaceably is for the white
teachers and white pupils to retire from the
schools and never to rc-enter them until the
matter IL settled. The young gentlemen who
have essayed to settle the matter deserve all
praise for the motives which have actuated
them, and for the gallant manner in which
they have rallied to the support and protsc-
iion 81 the ysune ladies; but we advise them
now, in all seriousness, to Let the natter rese
now and await the action of the School
Board, which, we learn, meets tonight. We
trust the young men will act upon our advice,
and we feel sure they will accept it in the
spirit in which it is given.
The French journals are disputing over the
proposition to place the statue Of Mirabeau
an the Court of Justice of AK. The Repub- |
licans insist that this honor is due to the !
eloquent champion Of the Revolution. The
Conservatives argue that as Mirabeau had
been imprisoned in this town for heinous |
offences, and condemned to imprisonment in |
the very court where it is now proposed to |
erect his statue, the honor would be a bad
precedent. Among the statues already erected |
is that of Portelis, who, in passing judgment |
on Mirabeau, stigmatized him as 81 bad son |
and bad citizen
Twenty thousand men are turned out Of |
employment by the Pittsburg strike Of the |
puddlers. Only small proportion Of them |
is Of the striking class, but there are thou
sands Of helpers and other workmen who can |
get no work when the puddlers refuse to do
anything, and thus the small number who re-
fuse to accept that reduction Of wages which
mas been found necessary, and has been ac-
.cepted in Eastern establishments, has the
power to turn out Of employment thousands
of men who are entirely satisfied with their
wages and are generally in need of work.
,ectly described as having breveted himself
from 'thc tail Of suffers cart into the Sen
ate" and has been heretofore denounced as
the corrupt representative Of the most profit
gate State administration in the country, is
said to be in danger Of his Senatorial head. 1t
seems that in the Senate of the Legislature
which chose him, a Conservative member was
unseated to make room for q Republican
whose vote sent Spancer to Washington The
proceedings then taken in the face of justice
and right have just been reversed by the re-
placement of the Conservative member, and
all acts subsequent to his expulsion will, it is
said, be declared null and void
