 The Charleston News and Courier says that the sole intent and aim of the average New Englander, in his commercial transac tions, seems to be to palm off on the unsus pecting purchaser of his wares the apparent for the real, the imitation for the genuine, the false for the true; in short, that which seems to be for that which is In hunting for the facts to sustain this charge, it is found that it is based on the letter of 6 Bos- ton provision dealer to trade journal, in which he says that it is customary for Bos- ton dealers to send mackere1 to the Galveston market wrongly labeled; thus "small 3s are branded No. g. and small 2's branded No. l." But the letter goes on to say that this incor- rect marking is done at the order of the Galveston purchasers and, consequently, so far as the Boston merchants relations with his customers are concerned, he is guilty of deception. The News and Courier had bet ter turn it's attention to the southern mer chants, many of whom are doubtless quite as ''sharp' as the hated Yankees

She was willing to give A ,O00 to have it settled. She, however, promised not to repeat any offense she had been guilty of, and apologized to the court. The judge said that the offence was plainly bribery. It was a most serious case; but, taking eircumstan- ces into account, especially the offenders sex, he would, on this occasion, accept, with some hesitation, her apology. His lordship then handed back the check to the lady, and severely reprimanded her, adding, in the event of her being guilty of such an offence again, he would doubtless commit her to prison.

RalzacsS Nose.
haIXdC7S NOses LFrom the September Manhattan

From the September Manhattanl
 Every curious collector of the memorable sayings of great men has probably enriched his store with Cromwells request to be paint ed with all his warts. By the side of that saying let there be placed what, in posing fof his bust, Balzac said to the sculptor David d'Angiers: "Be careful of my nose; my nose is world!'' truly remarkable world down so carefully to posterity, having a deep, perpendicular furrow at its roof, being square at the end, parted into two lobes, and pierced by very open nostrils, whereto was never seen the like in any mortal nose what soever. A still more remarkable nose by reason of being situated between such worlds of eyes-"black diamonds illuminated by rich, golden rehection"-wherein was a life, light, magnetism, a sovereignty, a seer like penetration, Rabelaisian gayety never seen in any other. But 8 most remarkable nose for being placed near such a world of mind as few noses have enjoyed proximity to since the original mold of humanity was cast and consecrated; on the confines of which world no man can finger without be coming conscious that his world of mind, whether great or little, has received fresh impulse to orb itself more nearly into per fectness. Therefore I wish to draw near to it for moment before I evoked the general past of which it was part, confident that in the end l shall have no apology to make to any sympathetic souls who may consent to bear me company.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
 The Democratic State convention which is to be held in Hartford to-day will be an in teresting affair. What it will do nobody can tell. Three weeks ago there was no doubt that ''the little giant" would be renominat- ed. But soon after the Hon. Henry B. liar rison of this city was nominated by the Re publicans the little giant declined to be hon ored with 6 renomination. Some people do not believe that he really does not want an other chance, and they think that if the con vention calls loudly and unanimously for him he will hear the call and bow in his most graceful manner to the will of the people. On the other hand he gets credit for sagacity in seeing that the nomination of MT. Harri- son does not make a renomination for him a very valuable boon.
 But if Governor Waller really means what he says and will not take renomination, the convention will have quite a number of gen tlemen to select from. Hon. William w. Eaton would, it is thought, take the nomina- tion. His friend A. E. Burr of the Hartford Times wants him to have it. He would make lively candidate, and could perhaps endure the defeat that awaits the Democratic nominee when ''the sun goes down. on the fourth day of November as well as any man. Among others who have been mentioned are George G. Sumner of Hartford, the present lieutenant governor; A. E. Burr of Hart ford, and Edward s. Cleveland of Hartford. In New Haven there are Luzon B. Morris, James Gallagher, Mayor Lewis and John R. Leeds who are available. And there are sev- eral gentlemen in other parts of the State who are willing to live and hold office for their beloved country.
 The candidates for the other places on the ticket are not so numerous, but there are enough to go around and some over. As those who get the nominations seem likely to be more unfortunate than those who ''get left'' the latter will probably not have cause for deep grief.
 It is evident that if Governor Waller per sists in declining to run MT. Eaton's claims will be strongly pushed. He has done a great deal for the Democratic party, both in war and in peace, and he ought to have the nomination if he wants it. If he is nomi- mated the Republicans will try to welcome him with their ballots to a hospitable pc litical grave

THE sCRImscHoN ART.
Whales Teeth and WaIrus' Tuski
 Made Things of Beauty.

Whales Teeth and WaIrns' Tusks
 Made Things of Beauty.
 From the Philadelphia Times.l
 ''The scrimschonl'' exclaimed round faced, dark-eyed, black-haired William Tevis, as he rolled up woodcock in his fathers old game shop, in the basement of 408 Walnut street, yesterday ''The scrimschon is the art beau tiful What is its Sit down and I will tell you Not there-Great JupiterI you almost squatted in this pan of plovers. Sit down in that armchair. It's one of dads old chairs, and it's as old as-well, all these things round here are as old as cuss words. And''-
 'tBut the scrimschon?'
 stAh! The scrimschon is the art of engra- wing on ivory or bone. I engrave on egg shells also, but that is a distinct branch of the engraver's art. I don't know where the name schrinnchon came from and as to mean ing, why, you can only define it by itself. It is an art that is known to few except old sea- men. They take to it naturally if they have patience, steady hand and gift of draw ing. All that you need is jack-knife and a whales tooth billiard ball, bit of walrus tusk, or piece of ivory or bone of any sort and little India ink and Chinese vermillion. You first lay off your design in lead pencil Then you take your knife and carefully etch it and rub in your coloring matter. The de sign will last until the bone crumbles away"
 'EWhat do you draw2'
 Anything from bouquet to one-eyed bull. Young sailors sometimes have their sweethearts scrimschoned and young married women have me serimschon their husbands on whales teeth. The design does not sink very deeply, and when love changes it is easy enough to scratch out the old picture and put in new one. A pretty and sharp widow is one of my best customers. She came to me first about eight years ago. She had just been married. Her husband was master of 8 whaling ship and she had him scrimschoned on walrus tusk. He was lost at sea. A few months afterwards the woman was mar ried again. She came back with the tusk and had No 1 scratched out and No ? scrimschoned in. She wspt sadly as piece by piece No 1 was whittled away. But all the same she insisted that should touch up No so much that the picture didn't look bit like the original She came back one day and angrily told me to scratch of No. ?

mighty quick. Whats the matters? says L Divorced, says she, the odious creature didn't see her again for several months. Then one dark day, in the midst of dismal driz- gle, she came tripping down these steps and into this cellar with little bit of fellow as fragile as soft-shell crab. My husband sir says she proudly Glad to meet you, tight fddle-string. Can you scrimschon from nature? says she. Yes, 'um,' says L Then would like to have you scrimschon my dear husband, says she. I want to have his face where know it will last forever and forever Did scrimschon himg Oh, yes But, poor man, he only lasted two months
 ''It was less than six weeks after I had heard of his death that my customer and the walrus tusk were back again. She was dressed up scrumptiously. She saw that was surprised not to find her in mourning I'm married again!' she says with a gig gle. And if you would be so kind as to scratch out this-this picture and put in the picture of my-my present husband, whose photograph I have here, I will be obliged to you Such change and scratching of hus- bands had worn hollow Tn the walrus tusk and was longer than usual in getting along with No 4. Just as I was putting in his left ear my attention was called away by scrap ing of feet and aGTustling of silk. I looked up and there was my customer founcing aoWh IAe steps. 1 was not aSton1Shed; noth- ing that she could do would surprise me. SWellF says I. She paused moment to take her breath and gather her words Then she said: How far have you got with that sorimschon? Just putting in the ears,' says l. Well, make the ears big, enormous make them donkey's ears,' she said, and on the forehead scratch the words beast and fraud Great heavens, maam,' says l. whats the matter?' He has gone back on me- she screamed Your husbands says l. He was not my husband,' she answered; T was too previous. He was only engaged to me and now he has broken the engagement, and they do say he is going to marry another But I'll sue him for breach of promise, sir He'll find that he can't lacerate my heart with impunity.'"
 ''Did you finish the scrimschon according to orderl"
 ''No. It's unfinished yet. I'm expecting to see that woman come in here any day fast married to No. 4. She set out to get him and she'll succeed
