From the Syracuse Herald.
A pine floor laid in goldsmith's shop
in 10 years becomes worth $50 per foot.
A Syracuse jeweler bought for less than
$50 some sweeping that gave S26s worth
of gold. In his cellar a tub into which
is blown the dust from polishing lathe
aocumulates $50 year. A workman in
that shop carried of at various times, on
the tip Of his moistened finger, $50 of
filings in few weeks. Workmen some
times oil their hair and then run their
fingers through it, leaving a deposit OF
gold particles, which they afterward
wash out.

lis NJ. Howard show us and the public at large
wherein 5. o. Whitten has failed to do anything
that he has not done, and which he could have
done for the relief of l.. l.. Howard as his legal
security? We feel that the Rev S. 0. Whitten,
his wife and his two sons have done all that
could IN their circumstances be done to relieve
l.. l.. Howard from being longer held as secur-
lty and we have only words of commentator
for them in thus doing in view of their limited
means and the embarrassments attending the
whole affair.
There is another thing we would like to have
Mr.. Hollis Howard and Jonathan Bartlett,
Esq. do. 1t was a long and well known fact to
these gentlemen that l.. l.. Howard was legal
surety for 5. o, Whitten and other parties for
an amount that would more than cover the
most favorable sale of his farm and notwth-
standing this knowledge ami knowing as they
did know that l.. l.. Iioward's farm was in
equity the property OF his creditors for security
for money which they had loaned with the eX-
press agreement that the property of l.. l..
Howard was sufficient to make his suretvship
good, and yet on the 10Th of March last Mr..
bartlett executes Il mortgage deed to Hollis NJ.
Howard for $1,000 in round numbers and
second mortgage to l.. L. Towards son for
500.
The query is did these persons named in these
deeds have a legal and unsettled account against
this really insovent estate, and which they
knew to be such, that they had neglected to Sc
cure up to this date and thus on the same day
they both took deeds executed by Mr.. Bartlett?
Or did they on the reception of these deeds pay
over the amount of money to l.. l.. Howard
that he might cancel legal liabilities: If so what
liabilities We're cancelled by this $500 for which
these deeds We're given: We and the public
would Ike to have these gentlemen tell us all
about this deciding and the Slj00 what became
of it: and We would like to have them after
they have told their story lift up their hand be-
fore some legal justice and swear their story is
true

tashIon-Hints from Peterson's for Sep
tember.

Vests are worn by many ladies, espe-
cially young ones.
All skirts fall Hat in front, and are
putfed at the back; too much tournure,
however, is in bad taste.
Bonnets are nearly all small, close to
the head, except in front, where many of
them come up to point.
Embroideries and lace are still much
used, but will be superseded by heavier
adornments later in the season.
The hair, in Paris, is worn very high,
with the puffs little on one side, the
opposite side being filled in with bows of
ribbon and agrettes, according to cir
cumstances.
Long Swedish kid gloves are still worn
Tor visiting, dinner, and evening parties.
They are no longer worn over sleeves,
however, for out-o of door costumes, but
are thrust under the sleeves
The new materials for the coming sea-
son are beginning to make their appear
ance, and are very stylish, especially the
handsome embroidered cashmeres and
the figured velvets, both Of which promise
to be very popular.

Representative Converse, of Ohio, one of the
ablest Democrats in Congress- and one Of the
few Democrats who opposed the Morrison bill,
has been defeated for denomination by the
free trade element of his party. 1t viii be re-
membered that Senator Pendeton, of Ohio, was
defeated for reelection because of his introduce
ton and advocacy of a civil service reform
measure. Actions speak louder than words.
The Democratic party Is thus shown to be a
free trade party and to be opposed to civil SER

The Maine Horse Breeders Monthly does not
approve of the premium list for horses of the
Maine State Fair. nor of all the changes made
this year from previous years 1t favors the
adoption of certain fixed premiums, varying
but little from year to year, which would give
breeders an opportunity to breed and develop
their animals with a view to competing for
these premiums" and says in conclusion:
In fact the whole list of premiums on horses
Is farce from beginning to end and reflects no
credit upon its authors. We would suggest
that the Society choose committee competent
to draw up List Of Premiums on horses and
that the Society adopt said list for all time, not
to be changed unless by a vote of the Society.
and stop this everlasting ''tinkerng" of the
