THE KNIGHTS ENTERTAINMENT
A Large and Appreciative Audience
 at Pythian Hall.

The entertainment by Arizona Lodge No. 4, Knights of Pythias, last evening, at their hall, was most enjoyable affair." and drew out large and select audience which seemed 10 enjoy the literary treat prepared by this enterprising benevolent society. The entertainment commenced by singing the opening ode by the brothers standing, with an accompaniment on the piano. After this Prot. Sherman was in- troduced 10 the audience and proceeded to read a carefully prepared lecture on the origin and progress of the Pythian order, which was listened to with profound at tention, and at its close was loudly ap- plauded. After this came bass solo by Mr. Fred. E. Brooks, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Hawkins, entitled The Old Turnkey" which was rendered in a most feeling and artistic style. The next on the programme was reading by John P Cum, Esq, of the poem, "A Little Long. er," which was done in most acceptable manner. Mir Cum then apologised to the audience for break in the contemplated programme owing to sickness of some and absence of others who were expected to contribute in the musical line of enter tainment He then introduced Mir. Fred. E. Brooks, who rected in inimitable style The Baron's Last Banquet" which brought down the house. The closing ode of the order was then sung, and the au- dience dispersed.

 Those who are asked to vote the Democrat few minutes in soberly considering wheth- CT there are any good reasons why they should comply with the request. The Dem ocrats want the State offices and they have made an alliance with the liquor sellers in order to get them, but is this any reason why they should have them? Does the administra tion of the affairs of the State by the Repub- lican eficeholders 1eed rebukipg Even the most andacious of the Democratic organs have no charges to make against the State officers.
 Not only is the record of tho Republican administration in this State clean, but it dis plays many positive merits. For instance, the way in which the finances of the State have been administered. The indebtedness of the State is now $4 967 600, most of it paying interest at the rate of six per cent On the first of January the treasurer will pay of, in cash, $377, GOO of this debt. He has already funded $5OO, 1000 of it at three and one-half per cent. for twenty years, said to be the lowest rate paid by any State in the Union on it's debt. On the amount thus paid off and funded, the annual interest charge amounted to $52,62O On the $5OO, ,OOO funded at three and one-half per cent. we pay $17, 800, making an annual saving of $35, 72O. But the three and one half per cent. bonds sold at premium of $25, ,197. 50, more than enough to pay the interest on them for one year. The Legislature, last session, by it's tax bill reducing the State tax from one and onehalf to one and one-quarter mill on the grand list, made 8 further saving to the taxpayers of $s4, ,92O.01. Thus these three items, the decrease in interest, the pre-. mium on new bonds, and the decrease in the tax on the grand list, have made saving to the taxpayers for the year 1882 83 of $144.- 92l.O1. The $1,31S, 800 of six per cent. bonds of the State coming due January 1st, 1884, are also, by act of the Republican Leg islature, authorized to be refunded at three and a half per Cent, thus efecting a furthe. considerable saving in ths annual interest charge.
 This is the way the Republicans have ta ken care of the finances of the State The taxpayers have certainly no reason to Ire buke" them for this. Is there any reaso1 why they should be rebuked that will bear ex animation?

 A German industrial society has recently made an inquiry into the use of goggles and protective masks by workmen in German iron and machine works. The establishments, 12O in all, answering the questions reported in 83 instances that goggles were worn, and 37 had not introduced them. Protective masks were in use in g. works, and SC had not thought fit to experiment with them. The works reported had 62, 743 workmen in June last. Thenumber of eye injuries in one year was 361, though in v works there were eye guards worn by 55, POS workmen, or an average of 6 5 to 1, ,OOO workmen. It was ported by 40 works that no disadvantages from using these contrivances had been ex- perienced, while the other so replied that goggles were found to cause precipitation, stop the circulation of air, and heat the eyes, and ultimately injure the eye sight. The certainty of vision was declared to be pre- vented by the soot and dust clinging to the moist glasses. Last of all, the inquiry was made whether the advantages of eye guards were greater than the drawbacks; g works answered yes, 51 no, favored their use in special work, and gave no opinion.

The Comet.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In the very clear air of this (Wednesday) morning, and in the brief interval of time between the we'll nigh full orbed moons set ting and the advance of twilight, the comet displayed to the eye an unexpected distinct ness. Although it's brilliance is more than half gone compared with that of seven or eight days before, yet its magnitude and ex- cent seemed undlminished, it's outline throughout scarcely changed, it's sharpness, it's graceful curve and general aspect unal tered and it's place among the stars advanced southward (and approximately in paralielisn, to our eastern hOrizon) but few degrees from its position three weeks and more ago. This morning gave the last favorable op portunity of an adequate view of the body at least without telesco pic assistance, if even with it. Not that the comet itself will fade out of sight, but the moons presence fol the next few days, till after the prevalence of twilight will interfere.
 Altogether the unvaried or but little varied aspects and position of this comet in the heavens cannot be explained but by an usual concurrence ot astronomical clrcum stances and conditions. It will be an inter osting inquiry whether this new conner shall nave brought any light to the astronomer relative to those i7eerpttca5Ges which I refer red to in your issue of the 17th, and con oerniDg which 1 still intend to offer a few suggestions in a further communication.

To Fill a Nesvspaper


 It is a common fallacy among the general public that it must be very difficult matter to find news to fill each days paper. So far from this being the case, tho ingenuity of editors and sub editors is continually on the stretch to find space for even selection of the most important news at their disposal. In the office of a leading daily newspaper there is often more matter thrown into the waste basket or struck out of manuscripts than would suffice to fill the whole paper /; while interesting telegrams. for which not only the postoffice, but the correspondents who have sent them, will have to be paid, are consigned to the same receptacle almost every night, simply because it is impossible to find corner for them. The calculations of the editor. moreover, are liable to be up set in hundred different ways. Some great crisis, storm, crime, or disaster occurs, or an importsnt debate suddenly arises in Parlia msnt or some great man dies, or there is an extraordinary and unexpected influx of ad vertisements perhaps a combination oi these-and all the arrangements of the offic, are correspondingly disturbed.

SllItOh HOUSE on TVclfth street.
The large brick house on Tenth street, be-

public as the fifth precinct station, was YES
terday vacated. The old fifth has done its
duty, and has we'll earned its return to pri-
vacg. Every law breaker in the city knows
it, and its seven cells have incarcerated innu-
merabe criminals. Almost every room in the
| building has history, and although the men
were bound for better quarters they were
10th to leave the old place. Twelve o'clock
had just Chimed yesterday when Lieut. Ar
mold gave the order, Fall in, ready, march !"
and the line was formed and the march taken
up for the new station house on Twelfth
street
The strange procession attracted the at
tention of passcrs-by, who gazed in wonder
ment at the dandy "coppers." First at tho
mead OF the line came Lieut. Arnold with
the laws and regulations of the metro
poiltan police in one hand and an inkstand

The new station is constructed with view
to comfort and stability. Leading from the

in the front of the building are the
officers sleeping apartments, and behind them
are rooms for United States witnesses, &C.,
with lodging rooms at the rear end. There is

The officers seem very much pleased with tho
new quarters, and il is really good building.

station was Alice Snyder, colored

Frauds Discoyered i'm New York

New YORK, Dec. 27.-It has been rumored
that Capt. Brackett, of the custom house, had
discovered frauds in which a number Of
prominent firms were implicated by which
the government has been cheated out of large
sums of money. All the frauds were in the
appraisers office, and the scheme included
officials who allowed rebate on goods in per-
feet condition, and excessive rebates on dam
aged goods. Mr.. Brackett consulted with
United States Commissioner Shield, and the
result was the issuing Of warrants. Only one
person was arrested and he gave bail. 1T was
not possible to learn his name.
