unique, novel and much needed article
In every household, which is nothing more
nor less than receptacle for backing
box, which has several choice virtues, chief
amongst which is the beauty and finish of
the article, and the great convenience of
knowing that you can always fnd the black
ing box. 1t can be hung up In parlor or
kitchen, and be admired 40 an ornament.
1t is so peculiarly constructed that It will
obviate the necessity Of continually taking
the lid of, and putting 1t on, and thereby
soiling the hands. You place the box in
the receptacle, and throw the lid away.
The receptacle has selfactipg lid which
retains the moisture in the blacking until
used. 1t is made of mallablo iron, and will
be sold for twenty five cents His claim is
now being prosecuted for patent, by at

money, and he lacks about $50 or $40. Upon
the award of the patents, 1t is his intention
to have the backing box holders manu.

our opinion that a man who displays the
extraordinary ability that this blind man
does, ought to helped in this, his laudable
enterprise. If there are any well disposed
citizens who would feel like making dona-

POLICE NEWS.

At the police court last night q party of
butchers were arraigned on the charge Of
violating the meat ordinance. Anthony
Higgins, district attorney, appeared as
counsel for the defense, who held that the
ordinance had been violated through q mis-
statement of Mr.. Hawkins, clerk of the
market, and therefore the butchers ought
not to be held responsible for acting wrong
from the advice of one to whom they looked
for true answer to their inquiries concern
ing said ordinance. The Mayor discharged
the defendants with an admonition that ho
meat wagons should not be packed up on
the streets before 10 o'clock.
