Since our advertisement
of office desks, a few days
ago, we have added several
sorts not then here. Pro-
badly nobody not engaged
in the business of office fur
niture has a full knowledge
of the extent, variety or
value of the improvements
of a few years in these facili-
ties. There has been hither-
to no place in the city, in
which even SO many of these
luxuriously handy devices for
making business almost take
care of itself, could be seen
and studied together.
We have by no means all
the desks that have won the
appreciation of experts; but
we have about all that we
have thought it wise to begin
with, a considerable number
of representative inventions.
None of them are ofour own
make.

such work are only a year

most likely to be interested
in such matters; but have
lacked time to make sure OF
reaching more than a few.
We shall be glad if all inter
ested accept this general in
vitation. The furniture is,
in all respects, such as we
suppose it is wise and proper
to put in an office of dignity,
especially of public justice, at
the public charge. 1t is Sc
verely plain, but unique in
its very plainness, stately in
its massive design, noble in
its material and work, beau
tiful in its quiet harmony
with the place, and nothing
more; and yet, with all its
moderation, it will be the
richest office furniture in
Washington.

Our Paper.

The DEMOCRAT for the last month
has been passing through series Of
misfortunes, which, while they may
and do harpen to the best edited and
the best managed journals in the coun.
try, are nevertheless deplorable and to
be avoided in the future. 1t is pccu-
liarly unfortunate that these should
occur at this particular moment in our
experience. Our circulation has been
doubled within the past quarter Of the
year, and at this time th re are pro.
baby more readers for the DEMocEAT,
in Centre county, than for any other
paper in it, aud why? For various
reason. lst. Because we sympalhisc
with the demand of the people for
cheap weekly literature. Two dollars
is too much for any weekly paper pub
lished in the interior Of the state, and
we propose to aid the people in forcing
down the price.
ID Because we bcfriend the busi.
ness interests Of the county aud re-.
cngnize that to many Of our readers,
the building Of railroad or the build.
ing up Of mandatory, is Infinitely
more Of interest, than one hundred
columns of clipped political matter.
Sd. Because we give full p e to
local happenings aud incorpor.oe in
our columns as much Of the general
news Of the week as is possible.
4Ih. Because we keep our paper
free from all moral filth, and endeayor
to publish that, which may be read in
the home circle, and not bring "A blush
to ones wife or daughter, or a vile
thought to ones little child.
We propose to increase the excel.
lency of our paper week by week, aud
we ask our friends to overlook what
was only caused, by the inexpcricuce
of cur foreman aud a slight defect in
our press, and extend US the aid for the

tion. This had no parallel with the
contest two years ago between Kass on
and Keifer, between a polished gentle
man and boor. For iu the election
of any of the three, Democracy could
have no cause to blush. The vote
stood 30 for Cox, 50 for Randall and
106 for Carlisle. We have no hesita.

Judge Hoy and the Criminal Glass

The fear expressed by many, lest
the stern administration of justice by
his predecessor, might become lax in
the hands of Adam Hoy, is most
happily removed by that gentleman's
behaviour towards the criminals Of
last week. Oar people do not desire
unwise severity much less cruelty on
the bench. But they do ask for the
rigid maintenance of the dignity Of
the law itself, aud as rigid satisfaction
Of the claims of violated justice. II
the court be not n terror to the crimi
nal class, the criminal class will be
terror to the people. Which terror is
lcsirable? ? The laws of this com.
monwealth, made with view to the
suppression Of vice and crime, are for
the most part most wisely framed. All
that is necessary is to enforce them
wisely and justly, and the court is
clothed with discretionary power for
this very purpose. Mr.. Hoy has
proved himself at the outslart no
friend to crime, but a terror to evil
doers. That is right, make it hot for
them. The soil of Centre county
should not be a soil wherein such
plants could thrive The last ten years
has shown how much a court o. justice
could do towards Kidding our COM
muuity Of such pests, aud we can
prophesy that Adam Hoy will not
make our cline a more congenial one,
and the Judge will find that the peo.
pie will endorse hun.

Our Gas.

For some reason or other the Belle.
fonte Gas Compeny will lower the
price of gas 33t per cent after the lst
Of January next. We hail the reduc.
ton of the cost Of light with satisfac-
ton. We hail anything that reduces
the cost of living in our town with
delight. Aud our delight will not he
lessened in any respect, by a suspicion
Of the motives influencing the com.
pany. Our citizens are divided on
the subject; some say that the new
Electric Light company has caused
the trouble, some will say that the
combination with the Steam Heating
will allow Of the reduction, without
: loss to the stockholders. Every mo
tive will be assigned but the one, that
the company willingly reduces, for the
sake of cheaper light. On the whole
we incline a little to the first PROPOSE
ton, and hold it as an illustration Of
the immense beueft of competition in
anything. But what matters the mo.
tive anyway The wisbed.ior reduc.
tion has been partially obtained that
is enough, at present, perhaps. But it
must 90 down further in the future.
Gas must be sold at a dollar aud a
half thousand feet 10 Bellefonte vet.
The manufacture Of gas at that tariff
will be legitimate and reasonable, and
will afford the stockholder a fair
dividend.

China Must Hold TonQuin.

1t is the general opinion among the
Americans and Europeans that the
emperor Of China has full power over
his subjects But such is not the case,
aud it is the intricacies Of the numer.
Gus departments, and the innumerable
customs by which the empire is gov
erued, that compels the court not to
give up Touquin; its value per &c not
being taken into account in its present
intentions to fight for it The emperor
in his capacity Of father Of the people,
can in theory give any order, aud can
in practice have put to death any
official or citizen who disobeys II In
his dynasty are large and powerful
number Of princes and mauderins,
who divide the departments and vice
royalties among themselves. The pres.
rnt dynasty is foreign one, and con
-rquently is compelled to respect the
army. Now this army is, for financial
reasons, too small to properly garrison
the empire and should an uprising
pccur against the government, the
army would he useless, Hence, the
court cannot afford TO offend either the
army or the people in such a way as
20 provoke their anger, The Tartar
iynasty which now reigns would be
swept from the face of the earth should
it not consult the will Of the people.
The present emperor is boy, only
twelve years of age. and all real au.
thority belongs to a widow Of the last
full grown emperor, to Prince Kung,
Ii Hung Chang, the man who moves
The mass of native Chinese, AMI one
or two other officials. Now these few
can send out any orders they please
and are obeyed, but they have to be
very careful not to wound the feelings
or give affront to the pride of the peo-
pie for a disastrous insurrection
would be sure to follow. The cession
# Tonquin to the French would cause
this, consequently we may expect that
either France will withdraw from the
peninsular. or else enter upon ruin.

LATEST news from Ireland report
an attack on protestant religion,

were torn from the ladies, aud gentle
men were iusulled aud stoned. A

land of which we are comparatively
free. When Protestants aud Catho-
lies throw away their religious intoler.

government aud the freedom Of Ire
land, there will be some hope for that
unhappy Isle. But until that time
hope is a stranger, and the world
