The Swiss have a clever way of max
ing cheap boxes without the use of nails,
the mitred sides being fastened together
by wedge.shsped pieces of wood. An
English inventor has recently patented
another process, which may be used for
heavy as well as light boxes. The two
pieces of wood to be fastened together
are first mitred in the ordinary way, and
q hole is then drilled in each piece YER
tically, from the bottom upward at a
short distance from the mitred edge. A
channel or groove is then cut out by a
SAW or otherwise from the mitred edge
to tie drilled hole. This channel is Of
less width than the diameter Of the hole,
and may be cut either parallel to the
sides Of the piece of wood or at right
angles TO the mitred edge, so that when
the two ara put together there shall be a
continuous channel from one side to the
other, shaped somewhat like a dumb
bell, and running from the top to the
bottom Of the box. A key is formed by
running a fusible metal, such as lead,
into this channel. The key may be
made separately of solid metal aud
driven into the channel, but in either
way a joint is formed which can only be
broken by tearing away the mitred edges
Of wood.

ENJOINRD AT LAST.
The Police and Fire Commissioners
EnIOtned by Ex.Gaptatn Foley, of
n No. 4 Steam Fire Engine.

The Police and Fire commissioners
EnIOined by Ex.Gaptatn Foley, OF
n No. 4 Steam Fire Engine.
This morRing an injunction was or
dered to be issued by Judge Halsey, Of
the Second Circuit Court on the petition
Of Timothy Foley Gate Captain Of the
No. 4 Engine Company, against the
Police and Fire Commissioners, Messrs.
Leath, Moore, Frank, Vacearo aud Me-
gevney, and M, McFadden, Chief of Fire
Department, and John Mcmahon, who
was appointed Captain Of the No. As BY
the Commissioners, vice Foley removed.
The petition is a lengthy document,
drawn by 7. W. Brown, attorney, and
goes on to recite hat Tim Foley was
elected captain Of the No. 4 engine
company by the General Council on ap-
pointmsnt by the Mayor in January,
1874; that certain persons styling them
selves Police and Fire Commissioners
have attempted to remove him from
Office and deprive him of the perquisites
of the anne in an illegal manner, they
not having been properly elected and
having no authority so to do; conse-
q%uently he prays for an injunction re-
straining said Commissioners, said Ne
Fadden, Chief of the Fire Department,
and said McMahOn, from interfering with
him in his rights to said office, etc. A
cost bond of $500 was given, with John
Walsh and NJ. W. Reilly as securities.
The injunction was served on the sew.
eral defendants to-day, and so the mat
ter rests until the motion to dissolve
said injunction is made and heard by
the court.

The Vallejo Chronicle says that a re-
vivalist recently visited a shop kept by a
oma on Georgia street, and requested
the proprietress to attend the Farragut
Hall meetings; but the thrifty shop
woman remarked that she must stay and
take care of the shop. 20, my friend"
answered the %revivalist, 1.-THE Lord will

other, Il know He will take care of the
shop, but l don't believe He would take

and exercise. The females make a ter.
rible amount of noise, use the most hor-
rible language upon all occasions aud
create a perfect pandemouium in a
small way within the city lookup.
In another column will be found the
call Of the chairman of the different
committees of the Confederate picnic,
calling upon the committeeman 10
assemble at James Park at Il o'clock
to morrow morning, and make arrange
ments to enter upon their respective
duties.
There is not a place Of amusement
open in the city, and will not be until
fy-time is over and fall opens up BUSH
ness. A picnic and an occasional fair
or festival is all that will offer any in
ducement to the pleasure-seeker during
the spring and summer seasons. The
question Of the day is, what will we do
tonight
The action Of the Five Commission.
ers in recognizing the Police and Fire
Departments meets with general ap.
prevail. The rules and regulations
issued for the government of each de.
partment will be strictly enforced. and
those violating such rules and regula-
tons may expect to be removed imme-
diately.
The new police force went on duty.
last night. The eighteen relieved from
duty under the limitations of the charter
surrendered their badges and batons
last evening and retired to private life.
1t is a misfortune that men should be
thrown out Of work at this season Of the
year, but so the charter reads and it's
provisions are imperative.
The negro girl Lizzie Lyons, who
stabbed Lou Christian to death back Of
the Gayoso House yesterday, was com
mitted to Jail without bail yesterday
afternoon by coroner Spelman. She
takes it quite coolly, and seems to be
well pleased that her hated rival is no
more, and that she will no longer be Wis
tied by that white man who was the
cause of the murder. Such is jealousy
and its consequences.
Ex-policsman W. S. Rodgers, who
was dropped from the police fierce yester-
day under the new organization, should,
by all means, be selected as one Of the
sanitary officers. Several names have
been suggested for this position, and
four men will have to be selected by the
General Council at the meeting to-day.
Mr.. Rodgers made a irst-class sanitary
officer, and should, by all means, receive
the appointment. He is an honest and
Woodworking man who has a large fam.
lily to support, and he will make in the
future, as he has in the past, a most eff
cient officer.
The City Hall ring growing desperate,
have induced ex.Fire Captain Foley,
who was removed by the Commissioners
to rush into the courts and apply for an
injunction, just as if a fire steamer
captain had a chartered Office and q
vested right therein, but the London
derry rule must be enforced either in or
out of court. Mr., Foley was put back
in his old place as a member of the No.
As; he has a large family to support, and
yet he has permitted League, Winters,
Jack Walsh & Co., to make a cat's-paw
Of him to pull the hot chestnuts out Of
the FIRE, the ring" leaders being too
smart to do the job themselves,

Practice Vernus Theory.


The theory Of disease accepted by nhysi-
clans Is, that symptoms are merely sympa-
thetic indications Of its existence, and have
in most instances little or nothing to do with
fixing its locality. Their practice, however,
is Numerically opposed to their theory, ior
they administer medicines which affect
symptoms only. The remarkable cures of
dyspepsia, sick headache, constipation, rheu-
matism. general debility, urinary and kidney
troubles, and malarial fevers wrought By
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, could never
have been accomplished by remedies which
addressed themselves merely to the removal
Of any one Of the manifold and complicated

misdireetion or contamination.
