Evading the liquor Law.
New York sun.

A result OF the enforcement OF prohib-
itiOn in the extensive shoe manufacture
ing town of Brockton, Mass, has been
the development of large number OF
clubs, where young and old can meet 10
secret and drink intoxicating beverages.
The manner OF evadlng the law Is this.
Several persons sign what purpolts to be
organized for social enjoymenC. Each
member is provided with ticket, GA
which there are numbers ranging from
one TO twenty, and also with n key, on
the payment of $l.15, The fractional
amount represents Whist was psId to have
the key made, and the one dollar is the
initiation fee. A jsnltor is hired.
Members are allowed to take IN friend,
and when drinks are called Tor the MEM
Der has to present his ticket 10 the jail
tor, who punches as many holes in it as
will CORES pond with the punches con-
sumed. 1t might BE- thought the jsnitor
was bar keeper; but that Is not his
title in the club. All the tickets are
called in once week, and then there is
q general settlement. Each member Is
assessed in proportion to what he gets,
1t is virtually n means by which a bar
can be kept and barkeeper paid for his
services. Some of the club rooms have
been fitted up very handsomely. Many
Young men have been induced to join
these clubs, and consequently to drink
liquor, who would probably never have
done the latter under other clrcumstan

Business Prospects for the Autumn.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
The month of September opens with a
feeling Of greater cob tdence on the part
of ourtrading classes and signs OF greater
activity than in any preceding year since
the panic. This is nodoubt due, IN great
part, to the abundance of our crops and
the high prices of grain in the English
market, but it also results, i'll part, from
a belief that there is to be no turther
dswdling with the question of specie pay,
ments, and thst the government VIII
proceed By steady steps to resumption al
the end OF the next sixteen months. BUS
mess men feel at last tina they Can count
with some degree of assurance on the
fature, and that the operations OF trade
are to partake less of the character OF
game OF chance. Nobody expects great
hustle of activity or rush of business, but
there is sober expectation OF a good fall
trade on basis of moderate profits. In
our Western cities, especially chicago,
| Cincinnati and ST. Louis, the season has
fairly opened with favorable auspices,
and this city is beginning TO be thronged
with purchasers OF goods from thelnterlor.
Except at the great distributing points
the markets are pretty bare IN conse-
ouence of the hsnd-to-mOath way IN
which the country dealers have been pur
chasing during the decline OF prices
when has been going OIL for the last
year. There Is large chasm TO be
hlled as soon rs 1t is thought that prices
will be tolerably steady for few months
and the small profits with which the
wholesale dealers are disposed TO be con-
tent relieves the retail lraie OF pretty
much all risk. One OF the most encour-
aging symptoms is that the New England
manufacturers of fabrics are now largely
working on orders, which Is much better
than to be- turning out goods on the mere
chance of market. The Southern and
Western demand for almost every spe
cies of goods bids fair to be quite large
at the present moderate prices, and in
view of the goodness OF crops there Is nc
difficulty IN obtaining reasonable credits
Although not great deal of money VIII
be made the wheels OF business will be
pretty well in motion within the ensuing
two weeks, and before the season ends
great deal of cash will have found its way
into the pockets of the farmers.

From the Galveston News,

IN the east END OF this city there lives
very ancient dsrkey. whcseid idea OF utility
spurns nothing Ms being too mean TO use
and whose constitutional generosity IS
ouickened by the high religious predil-
ections that form leading feature IN his
character. This old man while vending
his way hbmewafd one evening last week
saw \ piece OF meat lying near the SIDE
walk, which his kind heart suggested had
been dropped there by an all-wise Provi-
der for the benefit OF his faithful cur,
which answered to the name OF "Bulger."
The meat was picked up and placed very
carefully in the old mans bag, and AS he
walked on he thought over and over again
OF the Joy Bulger would experience IN
deyourIng the feast be had found for him.
When be hsd reached his home he seated
himself on his steps snd whistled for Bull
ger, who came wagging his tail and man
Testing other symptoms of pleasure at
seeing his ancient friend. Taking the
meat from the bag, the old man said
"Oe ole man totch yer bone, yer nasty
law thing, and here 1t is-rale good
meat take il and eat it, and recollect dat
Your master fotch it for yer" The meat
was thrown TO Bulger, who went for II
yoraciously, and as he lsv down aud took
his supper between bis paws the old man
chuckled with the pleasant idea that the
dog WAS not only satisfied, but grateful
for the small favor conferred. Having
finished his meal, Bulger got up and
went back to his cosey bed under the
house; but it was not long before he
came out again. He whined and looked
as pae rs he could and the old man told
him that the meat was all gone; but II
did not seem 10 satisfy him. He soon
began TO show signs of uRhappiness, and
in about five minutes WAS bowling and
jumping with the worst kind of n collie
lis ago; les were brief, and in short time
Bulger fell, rolled up his eyes and
breathed his last. The old man looked
upon ms hfe.ess form, and SAID "DaI
was policemsn's meat, shores yer born
and Just 10 think, dat was about to cheat
dat dog out OF it, and have it cooked for
my supper Well, de Lord am still OF

tone: "lf dar had been any COons OF

his eye and went into the house.

The Norfolk Virginian says it "expect-
ed reply from the Dispatch" toits article
deprecatlng divisions IN the Conservative
party OF Virginia. Why, we do not know.
There has been little or nothing said in our
editorial columns against any OF the candi-
dates for Governor; and that articles oppos-
ing General MALONE and nobody else have
appeared in our selected columns is due as
much to the fact that no other aspirant had
been thus assailed as to our opposition to
him. At the same time, it is our opinion
that before, and not after, the meeting OF
the State Convention is the time to ventilate
the records of the various aspirants. This
may be done without at all endangerlng the
success Of the Conservative party or involv-
inc it i'm dissensions. The fierce war which
o. JENNINGS WISE made upon JOHN LETcH-
Err previous to his nomination was the best
thing that could have happened for both
LETcHER and his party; for if the charges
made by MI. WISE had been suppressed
until GoGGIN took the stump against
LETcHER, and then brought forward, he
might have been defeated before they could
have been satisfactorily explained. II any
aspirant has a weak point in his record let
it be made known before August. 1t is net
important to have any particular man for
our candidate, but it is important that the
man, whoever he may be, should be able to
stand the. thorough canvass of his merits
and dement's which IS sure to follow his
nomination.
