Apour Steel PENs.-Few persons dou


ABOUT STEEL PENs.--Few persons doubt
less are aware Of the fact that the original in
vcntor of Steel Pens is still living. Sir Josiah
Mason, now the great pen manufacturer Of
Birmingham, England, enjoys that distinction.
He is now very old, being about eighty. 1t
is in his great factory that several of the most
popular Of the widely famed Spencerian Dou-
ble Elastic Steel Pens are made, the models
being supplied by the proprietors of the pens,
Messrs. Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor & Co., the
Educational Publishers of New York. The
Spencerian Pens have attained their great
popularity from q variety of reasons, all of
which will be apparent to any one who may
try them. OF one number alone more than
six millions were sold. last year. We use them
in our Office and are SO well pleased with them
that we have no hesitation in saying that they
are, in our opinion, superior to any other ar
ticle of the kind with which we are acquaint-
ed. Their chief characteristics seem to be
fiexibility, elasticity, durability and evenness
of point, and nearer approximation to the
real quill action than has been heretofore at
tanned in a steel PEN The Spencerian are
comprised in fifteen numbers, all differing in
flexibiity and fineness of pointy and for the
convenience of those who wish to try them
Messrs. Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor & Co., 1873
and $40 Grand Street, New York, will send
by mail sample card, securely enclosed, con-
tanning one Of each of the different numbers.
ON receipt of Twenty-Five cents.

THE CURE OF DRuNKENNEss.--The inc.
briate Asylum of New York, which opened
in July, 1868, has recently closed having prov
ed failure. The experiment cost the state,
including the building and land, $685., 900,
from which 500, 600, received from paying
patients, is to be deducted. Failure has been
predicted since the first years operation Of
the institution. The physician, in his first re-
port, said its success depended almost entire
ly upon the chaplain. The next year, he de-
cared that no decisive results had yet been
reached. Then came a report announcing
that the institution was no. better than q
temperance hotel, and that if the drinker did
not have strength of mind to keep away from
liquor nothing could save him. The dullness
and monotony of life at the asylum drive the
patients into town for an occasional spree,
and if he reforms he does so by his own force
of will, and not by any influence brought to
bear upon him in the asylum. This is the ex-
perience of all institutions founded for the
cure Of drunkenness except the 4'Sanitarian, !"
near Philadelphia, which is Of private
character, designed only for few f,st.class
patients, who TIRE constantly under the eye of
the superintendent.

THAT PRINTING BTLL.-Thrcs or four
wears ago, the Democratic Common Council
Of this city ordered a committee to collect the
charters supplements and ordinances 81 the
city and have them printed in book FORM
That committee but partially completed the
work of preparing the documents for print
ing. Some months ago. the present Council
ordered the work completed. That the
printing of the charters, ordinances, etc, in
book form was wise and necessary expense
any reasonable person will agree, when it is
known that no complete copies of the ordi-
nances of the city could be found anywhere,
excepting in the records of the Clerks of
Council. TIE Mayor and justices of the peace
were compelled to call for these books when
pr ,of of an ordinance was required, and the
members of the Common Council were unable
to remember the character or force of the or
tinances already passed. or what ordinances
had been repealed. Much less did our citizens
know what the municipal laws were. Meth
or did any one excepting, perhaps, one or two
of our lawyers have complete copies of tie
Charters and Supplements. Councils were
therefore in constant danger of unwittingly
acting outside of the powers given to them by
these laws We repeat, therefore, that this
work was necessary to be done. But because
it has been done at an expense to the city of
1886 so, two or three correspondents have
been bowling for a week Or two in The Beacon
at the extravaganza, etc. We have waited
until they got through before making any re-
ply. They are evidently ignorant of what
they are talking about. They have not shown
or attempted to show that the price charged
for the work is excessive. They have simply
assumed that it was. The truth is, the work
was done considerably below the usual price
TO such printing. There are in this book a.
bout $4,000 ems of composition, which were
charged for at the rate Of so cts. per 1000
ems. The price allowed by law for printing
the book of laws of the State of New Jersey,
the Senate and Assembly Journals, ETC., is 81
per 1000 ems, or double the price charged for
this work. In Phila. and New York journey
men are paid from 40 to 80 cents per 1000
for composition. and in Washington the price
is 90 cts. per 1910. The price to customers
for such work, in most city book Offices, is
from 90 to rs cents. per 1000 ems. At the
rate of go cts, the cost of the charter would
have been increased $31 go The cost of the
binding and exprcssage Was about $40, leav-
ing $50. 80 for cost Of white paper, press work,
&C. Any printer will see that the work was
done at low rates. The book is provided with
blank leaves at the end in which to pas.e or
dinances as they are passed, and it will not,
therefore, require to be reprinted for ten or
fifteen years to come.

MURDER OF A PROMINENT New BRUINS
WICK PHgsTcIAN.-TEe residents of New
Brunswick are greatly excited IN consequence
of the mysterious murder of DIR. Charles Dun
ham, prominent physician residing on
George street. The Doctor has been missing
since Thursday and no trace of him was found
until Saturday. The first clue was the discovery
of his pocket book near the banks of the ca
nal, and subsequently his necktic near the
same place.
The canal was thoroughly dredged, but
without effect until $3.50 o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon when, after gun had been discharg-
ed several times, the body ffoated to the sur
face of the water and was taken out. There
were several bruises and scratches on the head
and face as if made with finger nails, there
were also several bruises ON the body of such
kind as to show that the Doctor had been
murdered. Money is supposed to have been
the only motive, and the Doctor had no money
with him, and was not in the habit of carry
ing large amount. The murderers may
have thought, however, that he had large
sum belonging to Masonic Hall Association,
of which he is Treasurer. The clues in posses
sion of the police arc very meagre. All that is
known is that ON Thursday night, about o.
clock, strange man rang the door bell and
the Doctor answered it himself. Half an
hour later, he went out without saying any
thing, except to tell hfs servant girl to keep an
eye ON the baby as he was going out and Mrs.
Durham was not at home. A few minutes
later an acquaintance met him on George
street, going in the direction Of the canal, but
nothing more was seen of him from that time
until his body was found. About 6 o'clock
the same evening a man who answered the
description of one who called at DIR. Dun
hams residence, called at the house of DIR.
Charles II. Voorhees,, but the Doctor was not
at home. Mrs.. Durham found a note in her
husbands desk in his Office addressed to DIR.
N. Williamson, and dated $50 o'clock,
Thursday evening. The note stated that the
writer had just been summoned to attend a
man on a canal boat lying in the upper level,
who was suffering from a severe injury to the
foot, and he desired Dir. Williamson to hold
himself in readiness to come to his assistance
if the case should prove critical. Inquiry on
all the boats in the canal near the city dis
closed the fact that there was no man ON any
of the boats suffering from an injured foot
There were only two boats on the canal the
night of the Disappearance, and detectives
have gone to Jersey City to follow up the
clue. The murdered man was universally be-
loved, was forty-two years old, and leaves a
wife and one child.

A bin was presented in Congress, last Fri
day, providing that after the first of January
next the rate of postage OH third-class mat
ter, such as transient newspapers, pamphlets,
magazines, printed handbills and circulars,
shall be one cent for every two ounces or frac-
ton thereof. This simply restores the rates
on such matter that existed before the change
was made at the close of the last Congression-
al session. On other mailable matter of this
class, which includes seeds and plants, sam
pies of goods, &C., the rate is to remain as at
present-one cent per ounce. The bill does
not propose to change the present system Of
preparing newspaper postage at the office of
