"Black Yer Boots!,

The authorities of Atlantic City, N. j.,
which the place is famous necessitate a lib
eral patronage of bootblacks, and the young
gentlemen who follow the boot blacking
profession there are required to obtain a
regular license and to pay to the Corpora
ton the annual fee Of five dollars. COR
respondent sends us Transcript of one of
these licenses held by an enterprising
youth between seven and eight years of
age. 1t reads as follows:-
Ncw Jeysey-Aaant,c City 10 ,od:--
The City Council OF said city do hereby allow and
license William Jones to black boots for one year
from June ]. 1879, and no longer. Shall exercise
this license according to law and ordinance of said
city. Given under my hand and seal, &c.
lseal. Signed,
Fee IS. JOHN BRYANT, Mayor.
H. S. CoNovER, Clerk.
What the laws and ordinances of said
city are in relation to boot-blackng we do
not know. 1t is to be hoped that they
effectively provide against the use of old,
worn-down brushes, which play havoc with
sufferers corns, and that they enforce on
the licensed parties the obligation of good
shines. 10 cheat visitor out of his heels
ought to be, and no doubt u.s. made penal
offence. Our correspondent suggests that
after exciting from poor boys, anxious to
earn living, fee as large as they require
from storekeepers, the Atlantic City author
tiles ought to try their hands at collecting
o revenue by licensing the mosquitoes, for
which the place is famous. This would be

HERALD REPORTERS are still industriously
hunting for clean streets, but with very poor
success. 1t is a work in which all ordinary
signs fail; in hunting of any other sort the con-
ditions indicate what is to be expected, whereas
clean streets are never found where they ought
to be. They have no scent to hetray Them
either, this characteristic being peculiar to
streets of the other kind.

A Chicago Commercial writer says:
Within a few years the canned meat
business has grown into great
industry in Chicago, employing about
two thousand hands in the two leading
establishments devoted to this specially.
The beef is corned, boiled and then sci
entifcally canned. Fully three hundred
thousand head of cattle are now
annually slaughtered here to supply the
demand of these establishments alone.
As the products of this process grow
more and more in favor, there is no rea
son for doubling that the consumption Of
cattle will soon reach million.

THIS Ioooks as il our genial postmaster
might become involved in some of the
''fun" lately manufactured by the New York
Tribune We clip the following from the
New York World, which sounds rather
''key-notish'':
If the cipher kilograms sent or received by
the managers of each political party were
forced out OF the custody of the late Mr.. Ortcn
by the power of the Senate exercised by the
late Senator Morton, it does not seem TO be
worth while to csnsure the telegraph company
for surrendering them. But IL after Senator
passed out of the custody of the Senate and
its committee into the mere private possession
of his son-in-law. a Republican postmaster in
indianapolis, and this person betrayed their
contents, then the case takes on different
hue And it will take still another complex
ion if this person enabled or permitted the
Rap+ biiean leaders first to destroy their own
kilograms and then to publish garbied reports
respecting those said TO have been sent or re-
ceiFed by Democrats.

A Healthy Pulse.

Every intelligent person should know
how 10 ascertain the state of the pulse
in health; then by comparing II with what
it Is when he is ailing, he may have some
idea of the urgency of his case. Parents
should know the healthy pulse of
each child-as now and then a person is born
with a peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and the
very case in hand mey be OF that peculiar
ity. An infants pulse is 40; child OF
seven about so; ana from twenty to sixty
years it is 20 beats a minute. declining
to GO at four score. A healthful grown
persons pulse beats 20 times minute; there
may be goood health down to GO; but If the
pulse always exceeds go, there is disease;
the machine Is working itself out, there Is
a fever or Inflammation somewhere, and
the body is feeding on itself; as in con-
sumption, when the pulse is quick, that
is, over 20. gradually increasing, with de-
creased chances of cure, until it reaches ITO
or 120, when death comes before many days
When the pulse Is over 30 for months, and
there is slight cough, the lungs are af-

Begin now january to select and order

discouragiug than to cultivate trees or 3
years, and when they begin to bear find
they are not true to name. Ii Isl disaster
for which there is no remedy, and while 10
get trees direct from a nursery of reputation
may cost few dollars more in freight than
TO buy them from a peddler, the difference
Is as nothing compared with the risk of or
dering from unknown and irresponsible
parties.
In making selections for an orchard, the
question should not be, what are the best
varieties, but what are the best that can be
crown in your locality. If there are any
..ruit- growers in the nelghborhood, get their
experience; If one is IN a new county,
where information Of this kind can not BE
obtained, the next best is the opinion of g.
nurseryman of good reputation. For family
use, the orchard should contain varieties
from the earliest to the latest, the greater
number OF trees being OF good keeping kinds.
For market fruit the selection viii depend
upon whether The market is near at hand. or
the fruit is to be shipped to 8 distance. One
near 6 town will find shoxy early apples,
which do not keep long or transport well,
more profitable than later kinds.
