HERDIC To THE SURFACE.

We enoice by the WiIliamport Sun that Peter
Herdic has inyented new style of passenger
coach, capable of seating eight persons and to
be drawn with one horse. The principal points
about this coach, giving it superiority over any
other, is in the fact of its having very large
wheels, thus passing more easily over Thorough
pavements and allowing one horse to draw
about as much as two with smaller Wheels
The axles are in single piece of casting, with
drop of eighteen inches from the spin
dies, allowing the coach to set near the ground.
There are other points of excellence which com.
mend them selves at once. Mr.. Herdic has or
ganized a company with carital of 81 200, 900
at Philadelphia, where they intend to manufac-
ture these coaches on a large scale and expect
70 supply every city in the United States.

One day in the house Mr.. Wilson Of
Iowa, q republican, was warmly advocating
an amendment to the tariff bill making
sweeping reductions in duties. Garfield as
usual began to see. saw backward and forward
until no one could tell on which side he
would land when Thaddeus Stevens Interrupt
ted him. "Why not come out honestly and
accept the proposition of the gentleman from
Iowa (Mr. WILSON, which is much better
and more Ingenious one ?" Stevens had
respect for the frankness and honesty of vii.
son though opposed to him. But he despised
the crookedness and evasions of Garfield
though pretending to be on his side. For

WHAT TO OMIT IN LOCAL REPORTING.

The printers say, omit writing on both sides
of the paper, as it is great Inconvenience to
them.
Omit continuous weather reports Never, ,or
"hardly ever" touch the weather except in case
of storms or drought.
Omit the use OF many words and comments.
Omit pufis for certain parties and keep the
editors scissors sharp.
Omit replies to unpleasant personalities from
other correspondents. Silence on your part W i'll
silence them in less time and more effectually
than all the wordy warfare you can wage.
Omit unpleasant personalities and never send
items the force of which are known only to
yourself and few others. A newspaper is moi
a fortress behind which to throw shells.
Omit saying anything simply for the purpos,
of filling up a communication.
Omit articles liable to stir up strife and dis
cord between neighbors.
Omit matter offered by others which YOU
own Judgment does not approve,
Omit anything outside OF facts, never quot

HOW TO
GET almost
Everything.

Do you know how to get
in the easiest way and to best
advantage what you want for
dress and house-furnishing?
First, how: Write for a
catalogue; see what you can
learn from it about the things
you want. lfsamples can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants SO
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where: The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in respect to quality;
where prices are lowest;
where most care is taken
to serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
is not satisfactory.
There-no matter where
you are-if you make your
wants known and avail your
self of your privileges, you
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk;
sometimes by mail, some
times by express, almost
always at less cost for car
riage than the money you
save in the price.
