He Wants More HeIp.

Attorney General Brewster says that
true it is that there are seventeen
legal gentlemen steadily employed in

the work Is too much for them and he
needs more legal gentlemen to help him.
We all know that we never before had
SO costly an attorney general rs Mr.
Brewster. But then he is q first class
man, who does things in a first class way
He believes the legal laborer is worthy
of his hire and that his chieftainship
should be over many laborers. So mag
nificent head ought not to be followed
by an Insignificant tail. The eternal fit
ness of things not onlydemands seventeen
assistant attorney generals, but proper

much pleasure in it himself, that his

Brewster will get all the assistant attor-
ney generals that he wants, and all the
money he thinks he ought to have to
pay them with. The trouble now is that
he has run short of funds. It is discred
liable to the country, but it is fact that
it has not provided money enough to pay

Interesting Items from tho "Prss,

Interesting Items from tho "Press"
On Saturday last, while William Hark
ness, Of Little Britain, Lancaster county,
was making some repairs to his harness
his knife slipped and entered tho left arm
near the elbow, causing wound from
which tho blood flowed freely. Aftor OK
hausting the common remedies to stOp
bleeding without success, DR.. E. G.. Tay-
lOr was called in, who discovered an artery
was severed, which he dressed.
A fine improvement is to be commenced
Immediately in tho village of West Grove,
by Messrs. Joseph Pyle and Samuel G..
Kent, two enterprising citizens of that
place. 1t is the erection of largo build.
ing forty feet square, to be occupied by
the National bank of West Grove, tic
post Office and public library.
The dedication of the Second Presbyte-
rian church of Oxford, (colored), took
place on Sunday last and was fully at.
tended by the congregation and friends of
the church. Rev. DR. Kendall, of Lincoln
University, preached an able deGlicatory
sermon in tho forenoon from LIST Corin-
thians 3, II. The building is fine brick
structure and is a great credit to the en-.
terprise aud energy of the congregation
and their many earnest friends.
Some grass was cut and cured into hay
last week. It was slow operation, how
ever, as the grass is green and it required
several days for it to cure properly. The
grass is the heaviest growth that our far.
mers have had for years. The wheat is
ripening rapidly and will hurry the farm
ers greatly. Extra help is very scarce and
difficult to obtain, even at high prices.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Charles Hail Cut In Two In tho Railroad
Hal risburg Patriot.
A very horrible accident occurred y es.
terday afternoon, at Harrisburg, to Chas
Hall, and resulted in his almost instant
death. Mr.. Hall is a young married man
and an employe as brakeman on the Penn.
sylvania railroad. His death happened
in the yards of the company at this place.
With others he was engaged in shifting
cars. Ho had cut a car loose, but did not
remain upon it. He attempted to jump
upon it from the leaving portion of the
train, but fell down on tho track in
front of the remaining car which was still
moving. He was unable to get out of the
way and was Immediately caught undor
ono of tho wheels. 1t went over him with
thud and crushed him badly. His body
was partly turned and again caught
by two other wheels when the car was
thrown off tho track. A fellow workma n
at once rushed to his assistance, and ex-
claimed :: " Charlie, it's all up with you" "
The unfortunate man was about dying,
but his lips opened. His eyes then rolled
and no uttered in disconnected words
this sentence ~ hopo God will
spare me-" They were his last words. as
death followed in few moments. His
mangled remains were then placed upon a
shifter and taken to the dead house ut the
depot. The coroner was at oncs sum.
moned and an inquest held, verdict in
accordance with tho facts being rendered.
The body WAS almost crushed to pieces
about the waist where the wheels passed
over. Undertaken Boyd took it in charge
and prepared it for burial. 1t was
then taken to his late residence, Cos Dau-
phin avenue. He was twenty-six years of
age and leaves q wife and two children.

The Question of ImmigratiOu.

The question of the restriction of i'm
migration is likely to he 4 prominent
one at an early day. Just now paupers
are entering the port of New York in
large numbers, sent over, it is said, 10y
the British authorities. 1t is not known
that they are of any of the classes. OF
criminals, lunatics and persons liable to
become public charge, who are for.
hidden to enter the land by the present
national laws. They come over without
money in their pockets and may he
come public charge; but if they
are physically able to labor, this
cannot be 50 predica!ed of them as tt.
warrant their exclusion. There is !.
very large immigration into the country
of European laborers who come without
money. Many are imported to satisfy
the railroad demand for cheap labor.
Car loads of Italians for some time past
have been daily set down at railroad
stations near TO the line of the rail
roads now being actively built in this
state in the Vanderbilt interest. When
the railroads are done with these
laborers they will still remain
to enter into competition for
other labor. Their advent is generally
unwelcOme to the community into which
they come. They are not Il very lovely
class of men and it will I've some time
before they can he rubbed up into coed
citizens.
On the Pacific slope the Industrious
Chinese are tabOoed, notwithstanding
their valuable assistance i'm the improve
ment of the country. The anti Chinese
feeling there is dominant politically :;
largely, no doubt. because the Chi.
nese do not vote. The people
whom the English government
and the railroads bring into the
Atlantic ports will vote some day and
the politicians will incline to handle
them gingerly. Still there are in the
situation elements calculated to give
birth to party that will oppose further
free immigration. II is even probable
that neither of the existing parties will
care to continue to favor the admission
of everything in human shape that pre-
sents itself at our ports, save the crazy
and criminal. There may be an agree
ment in the demand for the revision of
Our immigration laws, so as TO forbid the
further importation of the dregs of the
population Of other countries.
