cence.
John Garnet, who presented anything hut
a lOveable appearance, was before the Mayor
last evening charged by his wife with hav-
ing come home half drunk and with smash
ing the furniture and dishes In the house.
His Honor advised the couple to kiss and
make up, but the husband declared he
couldn't live peaceably with his wife John
Was fined 81 and costs at which Mrs. Garnet
Indignantly inquired "And is that all you
are going to do with him ~
Michael Welsh owns festive goat which
he allows to run Mt large. The animal Is
decidedly omniverous and undoubtedly has
a cast-iron craw, inasmuch as George Hep
burn declared that the vicious beast did,
with malice aforethought, paw his steps and
gnaw bark from his tree. Michael was
compelled to pay 81 and costs for the privi-
leges allowed his goatship.
Thomas Green was fined 81 and costs for
drunkenness and general cussedness, and on
leaving the dock declared his intention to
decorate the eyes of the police force If he
was arrested again.
Annie Lee, well known in certain circles
in this city, was arraigned for having said
some bad words in the presence of City
Solicitor Henry G.. Turner The prosecutor
failed to appear against her, and Annie, with
an air of injured innocence, informed the
Mayor that she never used naughty words
on the street. She was told to go and sin
no more.
CASES THIS MORNING.
At the hearings this morning Peter Con
nelly was required to pay 81 and costs fol
| disorderly conduct. Cornelius Moriarity
was arraigned for permittinga goat to rur
at large. Mr. MOriarity was very indignant
to think that he should be compelled to pay
fine and cost for an infraction of the law
when he did not intend it. He incidentally
remarked that 1, 900 years ago there was
better law'and goats were thought more o
than at present lie was required to pay 81
and costs, but the Mayor, in the goodness
of his heart, remitted the fine. Mr.
Moriarity then objected to the amount o
costs, but finally paid the sum demanded
He said he tried to keep the animal LOCKED
up, but it would get out. When he haC
paid the costs he wanted to know how t
get rid of the miserable goat and if he woul'
be responsible for it if he turned it out. Th
Mayor said he would, but he might give !
away Moriarity said no one would take 1t

not his business the disguised goat-holde

CAMDEN, July 10.-It may he set down
as an absolute certainty that If George NJ.
Rubcson is the Republican candidate for
Congress next November a Democrat Will
be elected. There Is one person, however,
in the district who docs not entertain this
belief, and in consequence is laying his plans
for denomination and election.
The plan Of the Rolesonians is (; Soon after
the bin to rehabiitate the navy becomes Il
law, to place from 200 to2 600 men at work
in the League Island Navy Yard from the
labor industriously at the primaries for the
election Of Roheson delegates; aud in the
event Of Robeson's nomination it is thought
that 900 more workmen, at high wages
and easy employment viii be placed upon
the pay rolls at League Island.
These latter viii bc Democratcs who will
vote for Robeson for Congress, and by this
method it is believed that nearly 900 votes
can be pulled away from the Democratic
candidate and cast for the Republican nomi-
nee, thus making an actual gain for Robe
son from this source alone to nearly 1000 ;
and they will all be required to save Robe.

HOW TO SELL.

Mr.. WanamakeF's Employees Giving Their
Views as 10 the Best Manner of Waiting
on Customers.
philadelphia Bulletin, June 1871
About three months ago John Wana-
maker offered to his employees at the Grand
Depot a series Of five prizes, ranging from
$50 to $40, for the best essay on the subject
"What is the Best Way to Wait On Custo-
mer" Over 80 essays were sent to the
committee of judges, and last evening
large audience, consisting of Mr.. Wana-
makers employees, assembled at the Grand
Depot to enjoy the exercises incident to the
award of prizes.
After an enjoyable programme of vocal
solos, duets, quartettes and choruses, and
addresses by Rev. o. II. Tiffany, d. D., and
John Field, of Young, Smyth, Field u Co.,
the essay which secured the pTize-that by
Miss Mary Brewer--was read. Miss Brewer
assumed that the foundation principles IN a
salesman or saleswoman are First, true
loyalty TO her employer second, loyalty to
the customer, with the legion of elements
implied in them, cordiality, politeness,
honesty, tact, patience, perseverance, de
cision, confidence, willingness and enthusi-
asm, each In its turn being requisite, some
occasionally, others always The second
prize was awarded to William II. Brokaw,
the third to Thomas G. Bennett, the fourth
to James Clarency, and the fifth to j. w.
Corson.
In brief address Mr.. Wanamaker ex.
pressed his qualification at the success that
had attended his scheme Of getting his sales
people TO concentrate their thoughts upon a
subject of so much Importance to him and
them, and intended that the idea should be
hereafter elaborated. He suggested tina. in
so large family, numbering $500 people,
the members might not only instruct and
entertain each other, but even aid them in
times of need. He spoke Of the excellent
results that would attend the organization
of Il beneficial or insurance society among
the employees, and showed that if the latter
would only put ten cents a month out of
their wages 1t would probably be sufficient
to aid even other cases of sickness, accident
or death. In conclusion, he offered to pay
the expenses of secretary, or whoever else
might be needed, in order to make such a
movement go smoothly, and to contribute
81 900 to the fund as a starter. The pro-
position was enthusiastically received, but
Mr.. Wanamaker suggested that the en-
ployes should not decide hastily, but wait
and consider it carefully.

marks he said twenty-five years ago
Oneida county trusted to me the honor of
representing her in the council Of the nation.
For years atterward some humble part fen
20 me in public and political Affairs In any
Of those years, had this visit been paid, it
wonld have siguilicd but little personally.
Now you come to one wholly unconnectcd
with public or official transactions. You
.ome with a warm welcome TO private
citizen having no claim on your regard cX-

To your interests and your homes,
Under these circumstances you will
let me believe, without doubt, that
your presence here means the personal kind
ness OF valued neighbors and valued friends.
Old party issues have largely passed away,
or at least as dividing party lines. We arr
in period Of peace and great prosperity,
but let us never forget that prosperity often
tests and tries the wisdom of nations and
men more even anadvcrsity. The tendency
is to spend largely The tendency in the
Government is to make proiuse, perhaps
lavish appropriations Of the ptibic money.
In the affairs of Government and in the
affairs of business, unless ] greatly mistake
The lesson, the need and the admonition Of

We have more need of the brake than of
