Mr.. HARRIS, in his Walks and Talks"

for the other halt is work. Work will

A KEEN REPLY.

Legal DULLES who ask women
impertinent questions in the
witness box ought to get their
deserts, as did the Solicitor Gen
eral the other day in the itch
borne case in England. The
witness wasa governess who had
formerly been employed in the
Tichborne family. Governesses
in England are generally regard
ed as beings who are made to be
snubbed and insulted. So the
Solicitor General snubbed and
insulted this one, while she was
testifying to the identity of the
claimant to the Tichborne estate
with the young heir as she
knew him twenty years before.
AT last she haG a chance at him
which sue did not hesitate to
improve. Was the young man
always polite to ladies 2 asked
the Solicitor General. HE was.
indeed, polite towards ladies,
replied the governess; and with
a MISUNDERSTOOD emphasis, she
added, gentlemen, [ believe.
always are So The court room
burst into a loud laugh, and the
Solicitor General turned red III
the face.

The Coming Ea rtI,guake.

There is something decidedly al
arming in the announcement that
thirty tuns Of nitroglycerine will be
employed as the explosive force
which Is to remove the hitherto i'm
movable rocks at Hellgate, that
have been the only obstacles to the
free navigation Of the East River be-
tween N. Y. city and the Atlantic
Ocean, by the way Of the Sound.
Thirty tuns Of nitro-glycerine, we
will venture to say, has never before
been accumulated at any one point
for any such purpose, or indeed, for
any purpose, as seems to make it
necessary for the success of the I'M
dertaklng i'll question. OF course
timid people residing near the To-
calIty Of the projected explosion;
and many people who, under or
binary circumstances, are not con
sidered timid, very naturally specu-
late IN an abstract sort of way OH
Inc PROBABILITIES consequent on the
terrestrial conclusion, to say moth
ing OF the atmosphereric agitation
that will take place on that occasion.
The magnitude Of the explosive
trlghtens them; but we have the as
surance Of General Newton, the en-.
glneer who is to superntend and di-
rect the explosion, and who really
cannot refer us to any similar occur
renee having ever been known in
engineering, that the thirty tuns
Will not explode at one time, and
that they will be distributed among
certain chambers, and will be set off
successfully. Is that however suffi-
cient to assure us that they may not
all go off at once? We know that fire
is not needed to explode nitro-gly-
cerine and that percussion will ac-
complish that object with the rap
idity Of lightning.

The BUSINESS Outlook.

For the past year or two it has
been asserted, over and over again,
that when our Centennial year came
around, there would be a change for
the better in all industrial pursuits !;
that the artizans, the mechanics,
and the laborers would all be EN-
ployed that, in short, every one
would be prosperous, who chose to
be. Ofcourse this did not apply to
the drones of society, of which every
community has more or less in its
midst at all times. Now, we are
no croakers, and not inclined to
misrepresent things, but would much
rather look at things in as favorable
Il light as possible; and yet it must
be conceded by all who take the
trouble to examine for themselves,
that the prediction Of prosperous
times has not yet been verified.
There is but one universal cry
The times are dull, very dull !"
and not only is this true, but the
prospect is not at all fattering.
Very many Of our largest firms are
almost daily discharging their work
men, having no orders, and conse-
quently no use for the men. This
is really sad state of affairs, and
much suffering and want will ensue,
unless all kinds of industries take
sudden turn for the better. We
have one consolation, however, and
that is, if business does brisk up be-
fore the fall months arrive, it will
not be spasmodic. This is a consul
nation devoutly to be wished for.
In conversation few days ago with
member of one of our leading firms,
he informed us that they were not
at all discouraged; things had about
reached their level, and that when
change did come, it could not be
otherwise than for the better. We
trust his predictions may prove true,
and that the hum Of industry may
soon be heard in our midst as in
days of yore

THE CARRIAGE BUSINESS. AS
a general thing, this branch of in
dustry in our city is not as prosper
Gus as it should be, or has been,
which is owing, in a great measure,
no doubt, to the dizziness of the
times generally. Wilmington Car
riage makers have earned for them
selves II worldwide renown, and
none more deservingly so than MIR.
Gavin Thomson. who for twenty
years and upwards has successfully
maintaiSed the reputation Of a first
class Carriage Builder, and has now
associated with Mr.. John Walther,
at South Market Street bridge. The
dizziness of the times. however, does
not seem to have affected this firm
to any perceptible extent, as it is
doing at the present time Il thriving
business. There must Of course be
some cause for this, and the only
conclusion we can arrive at is that
the work turned out by this firm is
of rather a superior quality. They
allow no carriage, high or low
priced, to leave their establishment
that is not perfect in every particu-
lar, and the consequence is that
persons purchasing OF them are fully
satisfied that everything is Just us it
is represented to be. BY employing
none but skillful workmen, and
using only such material as they
know to be of superior quality, they
have earned for themselves a repu-
tation which is second to none in
our city. They also attend to re-
pairing Of all kinds Of carriages,
and in this branch we can safely
say they have no superiors here or
elsewhere. In thus speaking Of the
firm Of Gavin Thomson q Co., we
merely assert what we know to be
true, the evidence of which we have
had brought so plainly to us, that
we would be doing them injustice
were we to tell the public anything
to the contrary. We recommend
this firm to our people as one which
deals fairly with all, and one which
will not risk its reputation by mis-
representions.
