WARRINGTON, Dec. q, 1877.
The weight of testimony makes Col
IeetOr Arthur one of the most efficient
heads the New York Custom House
has had for many years. The most
ever heard here alleged against Mr..
Cornell is that he is a friend and pro-
tege, 80 to speak, of Senator Coukling,
and had treated the Presidents civil
service order rather cavalierly. The
term of neither had expired, while Mr..
Sharpe'R had; and the pretense that
civil service reform was vitality involv-
ed in the confirmation or rejection of
the three gentlemen nominated to sue
coed them, Is laughed at here among
men who, if DESTROYS of conscientious
ly doing their duty, We're necessarily
obliged to inform themselves of the
merits and dement's OF the matter in
dispute. If the Democrats voting for
confirmation based their action on any
higher ground than to go vote as to
widen the breach between the Presi-
dent and the Republican dissenters to
his general policy towards the Demo-
cratic party, they don't get credit for
it. Various reports come from the
White House as to the effect OF the
vote there;but the President is regarded
as an unable philosopher ana is expect
ed to accept the defeat in q spirit con-
sistent with the character imputed TO
him but if Mr.. Evarts escapes an
acute attack of dyspepsia he is more
stole than is usually supposed.
It is uselss to longer deny the exis-
tence of a very general apprehension of
war with Mexico. It prevails among
Republicans and Democrats; in the
House and Senate; throughout the Ex-
ecutive Department, and outside them
all among the "sovereigns."
Later advices make those first re-
ceived relative to the rebslliOus Sioux
appear exaggerated as to the magni-
tude of the outbreak in the Black Hills
couHrnEk but there is no doubt that
Sitting Bull is being heavily reinforce
ed by recruits from this side of the
line and q hostile invasion by that
brave appears among the early prOba-
bilities.
Notwithstanding the crusty refusal
of Mr.. Dawes committee to allow the
use of the Senate chamber for female
suffrage convention, the cause gains
influential advocates every year. Mrs.
Hayes is counted among them, and the
| President has been more than half per-
sauded. The petitions presented in fav-
sion of Congress. DE WITT.

Moral force is never lost. A good
deed may seem to have been wrought
in vain, and to have fallen out of menu
Dry, but it has left an impress upon
some human soul, and that impress
viii give vitality TO generous motive
and that motive will lead 70 another
good deed. For instance: A Boston
gentleman recently turned TO q poor
shop girl, who handed to him q roll of
greenbacks amounting to $500, that
had slipped out Of his pocket, and i'm
puIsively offered her twenty cents az q
reward of her honesty. His generous
isy was the theme of a thoughtful par
agraph in newspaper, and that SEEM
ed TO be the end of is. The world SEEM
ed to have forgotten him and his TWEEN
ty eents. But virtue had not gone for
nothing. A man In Gardiner. Maine,
had read the thoughtfai paragraph. and
when he In turn lost In the street q
pocket book containing $1,000. and
an humble neighbor found IL and re-
turned ik TO him, he knew Just Whist 20
do. He took from that pOcket-book 9
dollar bill and gave It to that poor but
honest son Of toll.

In 1887 it was ascertained that out of

Not long afterward the wearing of

For the information of girls who
chew jujube paste we will say that the
genuine article, the jujube tree is ma
tive of Syria, but is cultivated in Spain,
France and Italy, for its fruit, which
manufactured into paste, is relisied by
the school girls and abominated by
school marms. Very little of genuine
is sold. Gum Arabic, sweetened, is the
more common substitute. Printing Of
fee towels, when they can stand alone,
are cut into squares and sold to retail
dealers. Most girls prefer this variety
of jujube. Chewing gum is made OF
condensed beeswax. gum turpentine
and dog fat Girls who chew paper

out bandages.

A HARD MONEY ADvoCATE.-The
Washington Capital states that the
wife of New York banker appeared
the other evening at party represent
ing Capital. The dress was covered
on the skirt, so as to make it appear
one piece, with one hundred, and FIVE
hundred-dollar bills. The waist and
sleeves were 81 900 bonds sewed in,
and her fingers and ears blazed with
diamonds. The tiara was said to have
been worth $4,000, and the total value
of the notes and diamonds on her per-
son was $780, 600. Two pages carried
her train, and watched lest the jew
els and greenbscks should fall to the
floor.

It is significant of the enormous
power of fashion, that while the influ-
enee of the clergy was so potent as TO
produce the crusades, they bitterly
failed in the attempt to put the ridicu-
lOusly long shoes worn at that epoch
out of fashion. It was the mode among
men and women in England and
France to give an enormous length to
the toe. The clergy chose to construe
this into an impious attempt to add a
cubit to the stature, but though they
could overthrow thrones, and send q
million men to the deserts of Asia,
they could not prevail against the long
toes.
