For the REPUBLICAN.
MEssRs. EDrToRs VIII you be kind
enough to insert the enclosed letter in
your paper Our association appeals
to the public to enter the conflict with
US, and see il something can't bs done
to stay the progress Of int-mperance IL
our midst. Very Truly,
JonN B. Cook, President NJ. s. r. A.
W,LMiSeroN, July 18th, 1879.
To MORAL SuAsloN:-I sincerely think
If you would send some Of your com
mittees up the Brandywins and in the
woods they might see sights that would
convince them that there is yet work
for tn. Moral Suasionists to do. TO see
the nurseries Of rum drinking now
along the race and creek is alarming.
How little does thu mother think when
her boy goes up the Brandywins for a
walk or hath how freq quently he comes
in contact with these stands where the
so called temperance drinks are sold,
and how bsfore they are aware OF 1t
these boys are getting into the habit of
tipplng, first taking cider and next
lager beer.
Not only boys but young ladies take
their drinks. On Tuesday five nicely
dressed young women went down the
race bank 50 drunk that they could
hardly walk, and one was calmly en-
joying a cigar, putting the smoke right
and left, Some Of these stands are
kept by men who are unnatrralized
citizens. They keep open on Sunday
and week days, and some Of them have
no title to the ground on which their
stands are placed. 1t is wonder that
the owners allow such places on their
premises or the Mayor does not stop
them from selling on the Sabbath.
Ifany Of your committee should come
up they can see for themselves and can
find proof for all that has been written
above. There are police on each side
of the creek, but they are too much in.
terestpd in the accommodations they
get from the stands to say anything
about breaking them up. 1t is very
pleasant walking along the Brandy
wine and many more would enjoy the
refreshing breezes, if there was dis.
position on the part of the Mayor and
his officers TO keep order and break up
these nurseries OF rum drinking.
Now by attending to this you will
be confering lasting benefit. | have
been trying myself for years to break
up such places and still expect to gol
on in my endeavors. If can assist you
| will do so. Yours, JIG.

Horses for Europeam Markets.

Thirty two American horses arrived
at Havre on Sunday for the French
cavalry. They were inspected by
French officers detailed for the purpose.
and were all accepted at prices ranging
from l,l00f. to ,35Of. ($22O to $27O),
which are the top prices for French re-
mounts. The horses were in splendid
condition after their voyage, no acci-
dents whatever having occurred oil
board ship.
The success of the experiment is COM
plete. Soon as transportation can be
had as cheaply from New York to Havre
as to Liverpool large shipments of Amer
ican horses for the French army will be
assured. The difference in rrice of
transportation is now $50 against Havre,
but efforts are making to have this
discrimination 'essened, if not abolish.
ed. This shipment was made from
Richmond, Ind, through the patriotic
exertion OF Consul Bridglaud. 1t is the
entering wedge of another element
of export from the United States.

This morning it was reported on the

at one of the wharves with yellow fever.
From information We learn that color

the name of Charles Peters, and en-
ployed in running one of the flour
boats from the Stanton flour mills to

removed to his sisters residence on

The Edge Moor Contract.

The large contract which the Edge
Moor Iron Company has received for
furnishing iron steel for the Brooklyn
Bridge Company, has led to the remark
that the Brooklyn Bridge is the second
ever built. The first one is the truss
bridge, completed about month ago,
across the Missouri river, on the Kansas
City extension OF the Chicago and Alton
railroad. We learn, however, from the
English correspondence of the American
Manufacturer of Pittsburg, that steel is
to be used to build the Forth Bridge in
Scotland, which is an enterprise of
unequaled magnitude.

The Small BOY In n New Role.


Prof. c. r. Richtel. the inventor Of
the ilying-machinc, and the originator
of some seventy other patents, lns
lately constructed two wonderfully IN
genious mechanical tricks, for the pur.
chase of which several celebrated magi-
clans ere now negotiating. AS the
tricks are intended for stage exhibition,
we can best describe them by taking u
view Of the effects MS they appear to u
person i'll front OF the foot.hghts. In
trick No. l. the rising of the curtain
discloses two tea boxes suspended in
the mir. apart, Mt sufficient inclination
forward To admit of view of tho inte-
rior when the lids are removed. This
simple condition Of affairs having been
noted, the magician produces ~ small
boy and places him in one Of the boxes,
showing previous to doing so that both
boxes were empty. Then the lids are
removed again and one box appears
| filled with vacancy, and the other, more
or less, with small boy. There can be
no doubt whatever rs to which box the
boy is in or as to the emptiness OF the
other box, when At u sudden "prcsto I"
and shifting of palms the rope suspend
ing the hitherto empty box tlghtens,
the other rope becomes slack, and the
magician smilngly announces that the
boy has passed from one closed box to
the other, and, lifting the lid, shows that
such is the case. While the audience
are wondering how nll this could have
been done, he dsmisses the tea-chests
and exhibits the second new trick.
Bringing out n "maeic" table, he knocks
off one leg after another, replacing
them with feathers, and still the table
top remains where it was before the
amputation Of its members. Then u
boy il placed on the table, and still il
doesn't tumble. Tho boy is supposed
to have the power Of making the table
move at will with his weight upon it,
something AZ Aladdin OF the Arabian
Nights used TO save railroad fare by his
magic cloth, land the table does ac-
tually fit around the stage according TO
instructions. The tricks will undoubtcd.
~ create sensation when they are
placed before the public.
