Market Gardening.

Peter Henderson says that the bust
ness of market gardening, though
healthful and fairly profitable, is ex-
ceedingly laborious from which any one
not accustomed to manual labor would
quickly shirk. The labor is not what
might be called heavy but the hours
are long-not less than an average Of
ten hours a day for both summer and
winter. No man should engage in it
after passing middle life, neither is 1t
fitted for men of feeble constitution, for
1t js emphatically business in which
one has to rough 1t, and II 1t Is to be
prosecuted successfully the owner must
put his shoulder 10 The wheel at least
o. strongly as his roughest employo.

THE ARGUS" SCANDAL.
The Dispossess Proceed
ings Suspended Until
the Court of Chan
Gerry Can Act.

Constable Joe Locke went to the Office
Of the Argus Printing Company this
morning TO execute the dispossess war
rant which William W. Farrier the
owner Of the premises now occupied by
the company obtained from Judge Dayton
yesterday.
He was met there by the manager Of
the concern, Charles Clarke. Jr., who
told the constable there was an arrange
ment between his counsel, Messrs. Bedle,
Muirhead & McGee, and Mr. Potts, the
counsel of Mr.. Farrier, whereby matters
were to remain in stdtu quo until Satur-
day, when receiver would be appointed.
Never having had any dealings with
Clarke before, Zoe accepted his word and
went to report to Mr.. Potts. Mr.. Potts
told the constable that no such agreement
existed and he went with Locke TO
Clarke's office. The remarks which Mr..
Potts addressed to Mr.. Clark were vigor-
Gus and everything but complimentary.
Then Clarke begged that they would
not seize the paper and pat him out. Mr..
Potts had a consultation with his client.
Mr.. Farrier. Mr.. Farrier was unwilling
to assume the responsibility OF running
the paper, even for three days, in the OBJ
sence of any income, and he did not desire
to stop its publication in advance of the
action Of the Court of Chancery. He
therefore concluded to let things remain
as they are until Saturday. Consequently
no steps will be taken in the matter until
the Chancellor appoints the Receiver.

FLBECING BMIGRANTS.
A Runner Arrested in Hobo
ken Escapes With a
Slight Fine.

For several months past Superintendent
Reasoner Of the d. l.. s. W. r. Z. has
been receiving complaints from poor
emigrants who while on their way from
the west to Europe were swinGled at the
Hoboken depot by glib tongued young
man. The complaints further state that
the young man had represented himself
as an agent for the road thereby securing
their confidence.
Detective McKenna and Harney Of the
railroad were handed the complaints some
weeks ago and had no trouble IN spotting
their man.
When the enigrants were coming
from the DEPOT they were met on the out
side by the swindler. He can talk sew
eral languages. He would generally
succeed in taxing two or three emigrants
with him. II he was not successful in
capturing any victims ON the outside he
would 20 aboard the boat and then when
the other side would be reached hire a

AN INSTANCE.
Two Door fellows, as an instance. ar
rived on the ID. l.. and w. Railroad at
dODokeu about week ago. All tney
possessed besides their tickets were two
trunks and $50 in cash. They fell in with
the shark. de represented himself as an
agent for the railroad and they agreed to
accompany him. They were driven in a
coupe to Evans Hotel They remained
there four hours and were charged 500
They did not eat anything. The clothing
in their trunks was changed for poorer
clothing. When they demurred against
such treatment they were assaulted and
thrown out.
Poor emigrant families who had saved
their money for years iu order 10 enjoy it
in the Fatherland. met the shark and had
similar experiences. In many cases they
were not allowed TO leave the SO called
hotel until they were relieved Of every
thing they had.
ARRESTED AT LAST.
Last night the fellow became bolder
than usual and was arrested At the
station house a charge OF disorderly con-
duct was preferred against him. he said
his name was Herman Blumenthal
and that he was butcher
living at No. rs Washington street.
At the address, No. T5 Washington street,
given by the fellow, Mrs. Julia Hyde said
that he occupied furnished room there.
but he was seldom at home. He was
never home in the night time she said.
This morning BIumenthal admitted
that he was a runner, but said that he
did not do any swindling. If persons
were swindied at Evans Hotel that was
not his fault. The Judge imposed fine
OF S25 on him, remarking that it was too
bad that the evidence was not sufficient
TO hold him or any other charge.

last evening at the rooms of Mr.. w.

ported that he had notified the city
authorities that more lights were needed

THE SECRET OF THEIR SUCCESS.

why the L. and L. Clothing House is
Always Crowded-Cheap Overeoats.
There is probably no house In the Cloth
ing trade more popular among the masses
or better known in New York city vacin-
ity than the London and Liverpool Cloth
ing Company. This enterprising firm
have two large establishments, one at
broadway and Gran street, and another
at the Bowery and Hester street, which
do a rushing business at times when
other stores in the same line of trade are
comparatively idle. The secret of this is
found in their extremely low prices and
the large amount OF advertising which
they do. Both stores carry an immense
stock of mems and boys clothing and
general furnishing, which are sold at
prices that would not seem to pay the
cost of material. Their strong point is in
oyercoats. aud the bargains offered in
these seasonabie goods are truly surpris-
ing. 1t is rumored that the IL. & L. !"
will soon remove from their Broadway
store, aud this may account for the re
markable reductions they are making at
present.

the gloves from the box they were in and
