wish to buy a pair of diamond earrings for
my wife, This was repeated on four or five
successive days. The last time he said he
would not wait to see me, but would look
at some earrings. The clerk showed him
an assortment, and he finally selected
three pairs, valued at $500 and said, L
guess will let my wife select from these.
She will be at my office in an hour, and l
want you to tell Mr.. johnson to bring
these around, himself, as he is acquainted
with my wife, All right, sir I will )" re-
piled the clerk. by the way said the
fellow, if you will permit me, will write
note to Mr.. Johnson Certainly said
the clerk, as he showed him a desk and
pointed out where he could get paper and
envelopes. He sat down, wrote a short
note, folded it and put it in an envelope
AMI directed it TO me. Then he went back
to the counter and said to the clerk, Il
think you had better put the three pairs
of earrings in here, so that Mr.. johnson
will be sure to bring the right ones.'
Very WE'LL said the clerk, who handt d
out three pairs of earrings. The fellow
dropped them in the envelope before the
clerk s eyes, and was apparently about to
seal the envelope when he said suddenly,
sOh, I guess you may put in that other
pair, pointing to pair that the clerk had
laid on the shelf behind him. The clerk
turned and got the ether pair and handed
them to the fellow, who dropped them ap-
parently into the same envelope, sealed
them up, handed them over, and said,
Let Mr.. johnson bring the four pairs to
my office as soon as he comes back, giving
the name of we'll known firm in the vi
cinity. Then he left, and the clerk laid
the envelope On one side until I returned.
OF course we found but one pair of dia-

was the last pair dropped in. The other

How RAISE CHILDREN. Treat them
kindly.
Don't preach politeness and propriety to
them, and violate these laws yourself. In
other words, let the example you set them
be a good one.
Never quarrel in their presence. If you
want to quarrel, wait till the children are
gone to bed. Then they will not see you,
and perhaps by that time yon may not
want to quarrel.
Never talks ''o.d folks' in front of tie
children.
Never speak fippantly Of neighbors be-
fore children. They may meet the neigh
bors' children and have talk about it,
Teach them to think that the little boy
in rags has a heart in him III spite of the
rags-aad stomach, too.
Teach them, as they grow older, that
respectful demeanor to others, respectful
tone of voice,a kind disposition, "a generous
nature, an honest purpose and an indus
trious mind, are better than anything else
on earth. Teach them these things, and
intelligence and capability will come of
themselves. Teach them these things and
YOUR boys and girls will grow up to be
noble men and women.

GERMAN PANCAKES are made of dough
prepared as If for plain fried cakes. Roll
quite thin, cut out with plain cooky
cutter; on the top of one piece put some
jelly, or thick jam; about teaspoonful is
a sufficient quantity; put another pieceief
the dough over this one; do not pressit'
down in the centre at all, but press the
edges firmly together, and if necessary
wet them little to make them adhere;l
then fry them In hot lard, just as you fry

done. You can picture to yourself what
effect the German pancake has upon the

FACTS ABOUT SPOOLs.-Not many Of :
thing about the manufacture of spools.;
hence the following extract taken from
a Pittsb lrg exchange may prove of inter-
est to the general reader oSiliia5
Spools are made in immense numbersss
One factory turns out 100 900 gross aday,
and consumes $500 cords of birch wood
annually. The wood is FIRST sawedsinto q
sticks four or five feet long and from sew
en-eighths of an inch to three inches y
square, according to the size of the spool
to be produced. These sticks, after being
thoroughly seasoned, are sawed into short
blocks and the blocks are dried in hot q
air kiln. AT the time they are sawed q
hole is bored through them. fsThe
machine is managed by boy, who throws
out the knotty or defective pieces. The 8
spools polish themselves by their motion
and contact in revolving drums. Some Of q
the spools are dyed yellow, red or black, e
others are ready for use when they leave
the drums. The number of yards ofscet-Jl
ton on spool is determined by the size of
the spool. The cotton is never measured,a p
but the spool is gagged to contain 100, 200
or 500 yards, as the case may be. Silk and
linen firms always send to their spoolsma-
kers patterns giving the size and shape of 2
the barrel and Of the head and bevel which
determine the amount of silk or thread
that the spool will hold. s5i It

DEATH OF SAM WARD.-Sam Ward,
well known as wit, writer, and lobby
ist at Washington, and good liver, died in
Italy last week. Samuel Ward was son
of prominent banker of that name who
long did business in New York, the firm
being Prince, Ward & King. This house
had extensive European connections and
became very wealthy. Samuel inherited
large fortune, and his connections
ana surroundings made 1t possible for
him to choose from great variety
of careers. His fortune melted away
in youthful eayeties, and he en-
gagged in multitude of more or less lu-
crative pursuits. He was known as the
liking of the Lobby for some years in
Washington. but in 1878 he withdrew
from the capital and took advantage of
boom of revived prosperity to enter Wall
street again. He spent much of the time
abroad, in England and on the continent.
and during the leisure hours in what was
very active life he wrote many clever YER
ses, some of which have been published
for circulation among his friends. III

w. A. PLEDaER of Georgia, wants
a convention of colored men to as
semble in New Orleans, on Deem
Der I7th. We cannot see the policy
of calling a convention Of colored
men at this particular place at SO
early date. We never did approve
of so much convention. We judge
from the short time in which the an
nourcement is made and the little
time given for preparation that Mr..
Pledger wants a purely individual
convention few in number, so that he
can shine forth as the bright particu-
lar star. There are doubtless a good
many colored men in New Orleans at
this time who might make self con-
stituted representatives and adopt
Mr.. Pledger's modern ideas OF the
Democratic party as recently pub
lished through the press of the coun-
try. 1t is not likely that as there is
no basis for representation fixed for
this convention that but few States
will be misrepresented. We would
like to have it understood that
should any OF Pennsylvania colored
men happen in New Orleans and at
tend this convention that they repre-
sent nobody but themselves. Mr..
Pledger is young man whose indi-
viduality and force of character we
admire, but when he undertakes to
lay the flattering JUNCTION to his soul
that the colored people of this coun-
try want convention at this time to
dioker with the administration he
allows his ambition to run away with
his discretion.

GALL FOR A CONFEREN CE
On Schools Of Trade.

Emancipated, turned loose poor,
ignorant and homeless, continually
surrouneed by difficulties and embar-
easements sufficient to appal and re-

of philanthropists friendly to educa-

gratifying advance, mentally and

means of livelihood. The restrictions
engendered by trade unions, and the
obstacles of race prejudice, concur to
make it impossible for them to ob-

country.
Therefore, we need Industrial
Schools, where our youth can qualify
in the various mechanical pursuits,
and thereby ennoble themselves and
and add value to the State. For the
establishment of these schools of
trade we require united effort, and
should make earnest appeal to the
philanthropy of the nation. In view
of this vital necessity the under

Pe~uliarities Of Some People In
Church,

A visit to most any of our colored
Methodist or Baptist churches will
disclose many peculiarties among our
people which are not seen elsewhere.
Many writer's have charged our
people with possessing more religious
fervor than any other class of people,
and one has but to attend church
controlled by either of the above
mentioned denominations for veri-
fication of this charge. You see the
sister that moves her head to and
fro as if upon pivot, you will see a
brother who sends forth response to
nearly every word of the minister
whether he understands it or not,
the patting of tho feet and the clap
ping CT the hands, keeping time TO
hymns which are original in words
and music, the loud amens of some
and the hallelujahs of others are the
louder characteristics aud outward
evidences of fervency. If a mans
religious ardor was judged by the
Iouduess of his amen or the capacity
of his lungs in singing then our
people possess more to the square
inch than any other people on earth.
Nothing pleases them so much as the
noisy preacher. Reason and logic is
at a discount, while Bible pounding
is at a high premium. Luckily,
however, a more intelligent ministry
are educating the people out of this
uncivilized conduct, and while the
peculiarities exist mainly among the
less intelligent of our people. The
mere intelligent believe they can
just as faithfully and fervently serve
God with less noise and more reason

Useless Legislation.

There are a number OF ordinances
upon the statute books of the city
which, so fars they tend toward the
better government of the city, might
Just as well be in the pockets of the
originators. Ordinances are passed
by Councils, approved by the Mayor,
and for some reason or other never
enforced. The dog ordinance was
failure because of the want of dog
catcher. A portion of the tax and
license ordinances are failure be
cause of the deriliction of the proper
authorities. We cannot see the ad-
visibility of placing lot of laws
upon statute books which cannot be
enforced. Let Councils devote them
selves to performing such common
. saR 90 i9eggfsisfi0n as really ceHen1s
the public without seeking quite so
much aggrandizementfor themselves,
spring, summer and fall months are
filled with hucksters, who come from
the surrounding country and hawk
upon the streets butter, eggs, poul
try, all kinds of fruit and other farm
produce not of their own raising.
The groceryman who pays license
to the city has his trade interfered
with by these people, who pay no Ii
cense for the privilege of running
over the city's streets and annoying
people while vending their wares
The ordinance which governs the
payment of hawking and huckstering
license is only one of the few which
is not enforced. Somebody Is re-
| sponsible for their enforcement.

an important appointment under the

vote is an important factor to their

be that the reporters for the various

A Council That Wants to Take
Away a City'e Health
Protection.

The cItizens OF HARRISBURG Can
never approve Of the action Of GER
tain members of Council to dispose
of the sanitary police. There are
two of these officers who are kept
for the purpose Of carrying out the
provisions of The sanitary ordinance
adopted by Councils several years
ago, ard which have only been &C.
lively enforced since the appointment
of the present Sanitary Committee.
In the last quarterly report of this
committee to Councils it was shown
that over 500 nuisances had been
abated, such as the cleaning Of cess
pools, filthy cutters and yards, the
removal Of dead animals from the
streets, the removal othog pens outside
of the city limits, the carrying to low
water mark of all private sewers, the
enforced movement Of the glue fac
tory and many other nuisances. A
little over a year ago by the prompt
action of the committee through its
officers. The small pox, which
threatened the city with its trightful
results, was confined to one or two
localities and promptly stamped out.
In addition to this reports are made
at every semi-monthly meeting OF
the committee of the condition of all
the streets and avenues, the slaugh-
ter houses and the water closets of
all the public schools, also the num-
Der of births and deaths throughout
the city. These men are bald 5000
of $1,000, acting uuuen i ii.rse''eNslat
sion of economy, a member of Coun-
Gil from the Eighth ward, who was
compelled to abate a nuisance upon
his own premises, introduced an or
dinance to dispose Of the sanitary
police. The ordinance when read
before Councils Monday night was
vigorously opposed by Messrs. Hum.
mel, Mather and Howard, while Mr..
Ryan, father of the ordinance, was
the principal mover in insisting upon
its passage. People cannot help but
conclude that such an atte mpt to
leave the city unguarded against cpl
denies and the ravages of disease
must be born of ignorance or disre-
gard for cleanliness, or the means to
vent ones spleen for being compelled
to conform with the laws laid down
upon the statue books of the city. 1t
would be well for Councils to better
acquaint themselves with the work
of this committee within the last two
years, and if they fail to find that
Harrisburg is to day the cleanest city
of its size in the country, made so by
the untiring efforts and vigilance of
the Sanitary Committee and their
officers, then let the ordinance Great
ing both committee and police be re-
pealed, for by dispensing with the
police the committee becomes useless.
If the present Council have so little
regard for the health of the people
as to take from them the only safe
guard against nuisancea, which have
direct effect on the health of the
people, they are unfit to legislate for
the CITY.
