A BIT OF HISTORY.
Something From the Know-Nothing
Days.

Something From the KnowNothing
Days.
The matter printed below is handed
the LIGHT as a relic of Know-nothing
fanaticism i'm San Antonio and eX-
plains itself. 1t is in the form of a
hand-bill 1Sx12 inches, and after the
lapse of 33 years may be regarded as a
curiosity:
The undersigned called to-day up
on the Editor and Proprietor of the
San Antonio Herald to ask him for
explanation about an article in his
number of Saturday, June l4th, which
reads as follows:
sixteen Germans were short
time since arrested in this city on
charge preferred by boy named
Glishman. The lad stated that while
in q bar-room of a lager beer house
these Germans, after beating him,
carried him upstairs, stretched him
upon bed, stuck pins into him, and,
to silence his cries, covered his head
with a pillow! The boy is Jew, and
these wretches, who are Catholics,
tortured him because the Jews cruel
fed Christ! Either the devil or too
much lager-or both-must have been
in these inhuman brutes.n
All the satisfaction and answer the
undersigned could get was: that Mr..
Vests wife cut said article out of a
paper, the name of which he forgot.
Aud his assistant hand:requested him
to announce in his next paper either
the source of his information or to take
it back, what Mr.. West promised to
do. +. r. FRANKEL,

Labor Strikes Still on.

BUFFALO, April 5.-The three labor
strikes in Buffalo are still on, and
there is no material change in the
situation. In those of the painters
and carpenters, both sides are firm.
The strike of the Erie railway switch
men does not hamper operations on
that road. Another passenger train
was derailed last night and an at
tempt was made to burn the cars.
The strikers emphatically deny the
charge of being connected with the
outrage.

A scheme for the Rapid Collection
MnIl MnLIor In CItlea.

A Schomo for tho R,pid Collection OF
Mail Matter In cities.
a commotion has boon caused among
tho lcttor-carriors In tho post-oilico over
rumor that the pneumatic tube system
for tho collection OF mail matter will bo
introduced in this city. 1t is said that
the experiment will first be tried In tho
business section OF the city and IL found
to be successful there tho pipes will be
extended to all parts OF the city. Tho
Postmastcr-Gcneral has been investi-
eating this scheme and is said to be
favornbly impressed with its feasibility.
In private business no has found that by
generous uso Of wind dollars can be
made to roll from tho four points OF
the compass into one big money-box,
and no secs no reason why the same
agency can not I've made TO servo Uncle
sam and bring mail dropped into the
letter-boxes in al parts OF the city into
the central office
Tho plans for tho now system have
not yet been thoroughly digestod, but
tho general idea is to lay n system OF
pneumatic tubos in all tho main streets
OF tho city and connect them with tho
letter boxes located on those streets.
The connection would be by means OF n
pipe running underground and up the
inside OF a lamp-post whore it would
be fitted to n box OF peculiar construc-
tion. This would place all parts OF the
city In direct communication with the
post-oillce, so that letter dropped in n
letter-box at Second and Diamond
streets. for instance, would be whirled
to the post-oflico in few seconds, can
celcd. and II it happened to bc train
time would bc dispatched to Broad
street station and on board train
bound for Chicago almost before tho
ink had time to dry. Tho system would
be particularly valuable in receiving
and dispatching mails to Germantown,
Frankford and Manayunk. which arc
now no further advanced than the
postal system OF n century ago. rs the
mail-bags are carried TO and from tho
central Office by wagon. The letters
could be delivered from the tubes di-
rectly on q, a,cancelng machine. such rs
is used in BOSTON, making n number OF
parallel lines halfway across the letter.
This would mako still further saving
OF labor and make matters interesting
for tho clor<s Philadelphia Record.
