On the Advertising Power OF Good
Name.

An editorial under the above title in
the July century closes rs follows:
FOR wears we have watched the
workings of this system of patronage
of advertisement by means Of good
names-here in the city OF New York;
and we must say that we have seen
great harm come from it, in many di-
rections, The persons are not as
numerous as they should be who reso-
lutely refuse the use Of their names to
every movement to every institution,
to every committee, to every board of
management to which they are unable
to give the necessary time and atten-
ton. or in whose affairs they are not
competent to deal with full intelligence
and with fitness of taste and educa-
ton. We say that such scrupulosity
seems to be exceptional in New York,
and yet events are constantly occur
ring to show the danger, even the i'm
morality, of allowing the use of ones
name where ones care and attention
do not follow.
1--WE have barely alluded above to
lllc lCpltICIolO4O NOhL' ~ 'AAASAA SN4A-~
pursue of using their own good names
as an investment, for profit, in con-
nection with financial corporations, or
shemes of various sorts, which they do
not in reality control. OF the impro-
prie$y of such action there can be no
question. Recent events have made
the danger and wrong Of such an act
Iamentably conspicuous, and we do
not need to dwell upon this phase of
the subject. What we wish to do now
is to call especial attention to the loose
manner in which good names are con-
stantly being used by way Of advertise
ment, in charitable, social, education
al, and other praiseworthy lines. We
ask our readers if they cannot each re-
call some instance where the public
has been misled, or where honored
regulations have suffered? The fact is
that, when any scheme or institution,
however proper or even yirtuous its OBJ
iects, wants IRON any respectable per-
son, nothing but his name, his name
is the very thing he should stoutly re-
fuse to give"

Louis Gordon, Of Patchogue. con-
ceived the idea Of flying q kite with a
duplicate string, 10 which he attached
several baited lishhooks and q sinker.
He raised the kite over the water at
the seashore, keeping the strings sep
arated until the kite had attained a
considerable altitude. Then he threw
out as fair as possible one of the STRINGS
with the hooks attached. The line,
after sinking 50 as to be drawn taut,
answered ever purpose of 4 dcep sea
line, and the ingenious fisherman soon
had a siXteen-pound cod and another
of smaller size.

Pickles COIOred by Copper.

Dr. Cyrus Edson, of the New York Sanitary Bureau, recently produced samples of bright green pickles, bottled by five firms, had them analysed by the department chemist, Professor Waller, to ascertain how much metallic copper was used in coloring them. The result was given to the Board of Health. It said:
 "The pickles contained a much larger proportion of copper than the liquid sur rounding them, fact which controverts the idea that copper can be removed from pickles by soaking them in water or weak vinegar"
 When more than one part in loo, GOO in preserved vegetables consists of cop per there is proof of artificial coloring with copper. Of the samples some con- tained more than three parts to the loo, ,000 and one had seven parts. Dr. Edson did not think that they contained enough copper to poison a person, but the Board concluded to give a mild warning to the manufacturers.

Beating Her Down.

The editor of London Truth says I actually heard woman say once of her own sister, "She wants me to buy her lace hounces, and I have offered her five guineas, but she doesn't seem willing to take it. I shall wait awhile. She will be glad enough to accept the money in a month or two"
 The flounces were we'll worth thirty pounds, but no doubt the hideous bar gain was concluded. The "beating- down" process Is easy when poverty helps. I heard another woman say once, when it was a question of buying something of an impoverished gentle woman, "Is she very poor?" "Very poor, indeed" was the reply, land in want of the ordinary necessaries ol life.' "Oh, then, should think she would take ten shillings, and be glad to get it. You may tell her shan't give more"

As amended and passed by tine United States Senate, the bill providing for tho estab is'-- ment of bureau of animal industry and the extirpation of conta. ious cattle diseases pro- vides that the Commissioner of Agriculture shall organize in his department a bureau of animal industry, with chief who shall be competent veterinary surgeon, aud who shall investigate and report the condition of the domestic ami mals of the United States and the causes of contagious, infectious and cImmunica- ble diseases among them.

Thrown Out of Court.

A Philadelphia paper published an
 article against the Louisiana Lottery.
 The manager of the lottery sued the paper for libel. The Judge threw the case out of Court, saying: This business here is not entitled to any protection whatever. It is not only unlawful, but it is worse. It is infamous crime. Is it possible that business stigmatized by the law of Pennsylvania cannot be so characterized here by the editor of a newspaper or any other citizen, notwith- standing the fact that the business may be lawful ill Louisiana? Is it possible that the citizens of Pennsylvania may not express their approval of the laws of Pennsylvania It seems extraordinary after Congress has said that a man who conducts such a business as the one now in question ought to go to the peniten. tiary, that a citizen dare not express his
 opinion or approval of a law on the books. We will say that man is not amen able to the laws of Pennsylvania for characterizing this business as rob. bery. The Court sustained the demurrer and entered judgment for the defendant.

EXPLOSIONS AT HAVANA.
Great Destruction of Buildings und Loss
 OI Ltie.


 About one o'clock Tuesday afternoon the whole city of Havana was shaken by two terrl- be conclusions in succession. The streets were immediately filled with frightened people, who believed that the city had been sh tken by an earthuuake Gradually 1t was learned that an explosion had occurred in the powder mag aZne of San Jose, adjacent to the arsenal, in which wero stored large number of grenades and shells.
 The force of the explosion took the direc- tiOn of the gas works, and all the gas holders of the Havana Gnslight Company and all put one of the old gas company were broken. The second shock, which was heavier than the htst, was caused by an explosion of gas.
 A number were killed or wounded. Several have already been found. Itls known that there were in the magazine detachment Of twenty soldiers and an artillery officer, who had been coupled for several days in removing powder. The military hospital, San Ambroslo Arsenal and other buildings in tho neiGhborhood suS- taintd most damage.
 In Havana balconie', windows and shutters fell to the ground i'll almost every street within the Custom House wall. Tho building of the Hospital of San Lazaro suffered severely.
 The catastrophe was caused by spark from A canteen, in which an officers breakfast was being brought to the Arsenal, communicating to powder being dried in the sun prepar ,tory to distribution to the army and navy. So stated an orderly who was carried t. the military hos pital and died on tue same night from his in- iuries Ei Dlario de Ia Mdu'ind, however, peintedly says that the captain of artillery, Arturo Rodrigurz, one or the victims, recently delivered an interesting lecture on dynamite at military r union in Havana.

An Army Scandal.

It is understood, says O Washington correspondent, that the Court of Inquiry into the charges against Judge Advocate General Swain will develop the whole story of the relations of the Army Poker Club to the downfall of several prom inent and once respected officers. It has been suspected that the Secretary of War only wanted an opportunity like the present in order to go to the bottom of the scandal. Some of the most con- spicuous officers in the army were con- nected with this Poker Club, and they are accused of having induced young officers to play, and frequently got off with large sums that these young ofti- cers could not afford to lose, and in con- sequence of which the temptation to duplicate pay accounts has sometimes been too strong to resist.
