tbe white republicans can make no complaint this is putting in practice the most captivating of their theories it is wbat the negro is taught it is that by which he is won and secured hyman may not

every year is much greater than is supposed and the ingenius ways in which urge sums are extorted from their frightened dupes should be better understood not only by those wbo are in danger of becoming their victims but by tbe officers of the law we recently became coguizint of a case vhicb although flagrant and cruol to the last degree is no worse than hundreds of others occurring every day in tbe dens of these thieves scattered through some of the less freqm n ed streets nf the city a gentleman who had iu bis employ a young man of iudustrious habits and up right character recently called upon us und staled that be feaied tbe young mau had fallen into the hands of a quack iu the city who was taking all bis earnings aud endeavoiing to fleece him of every dollar of hir properly he had solicited th loan of 700 which he confessed he desired to pay a french doctor (!) who proposed to cure bim of a dangerous dis ease the gentleman desired us to aid him in attempts io save the victim from the clinches of the quacks and as he had been unable to influence him pro posed that we allow bim an interview this we did and learned that the young man really had no disease what ever ; that i.i ney ing that he was sick from reading the advertisements in a newspaper be called upon the adverti sing doctor who after thumping bis ribs aud sounding bim wiih a stethoscope pronounced him far gone in consump tion he had already been taking bis nostrums six months paying large sums therefor ; but at tbe last visit to tbe great french doctor be bad discovered aunt li ei disease which he could not undertake to cure for less than a s 1,000 cash iu band as a special favor to bim howev er be would cure tbe malady for 700 iu advance ; aud this sum be was endeavor ing to raise by mortgaging bis little prop ertv and rendering himself almost penni less the quack was very urgent tel ling him that death stared him iu the face ;*' and if be did not raise the money at once and commence with his medi cines it would soon ba too late the young man of fair intelligence was completely deluded and thoroughly frightened by tbe artful quack and it required much skill and effort to unde ceive bim it is indeed strange that persons possessing a common school edu cation can fall into such trap ; and yet there are thousands bound hand und foot to these miserable advertising quacks who operating through their fears are extorting from them every dollar ihey possess the sums laken are often very large und tbe iniquity is of no mean pro portion to delect aud punish these of fenders is a difficult matter ; but it does seem that some plan might be devised by i which the cities aud large towns should i be lid ot a class of impostors more dan gerous and unspairing than miduight robbers — journal of chemistry in the work of excavation steadily progressing at pompeii there was ' : recently uncovered a series of wooden tablets containing the accounts of a banker named lucius eccilius jocnn dus they were enclosed in a small wooden box which had been consider ably charred on the outer surface — the leaves of the tablets are thin as pasteboard and are tied together in sets of theeti by a chord passing through liol'*s on the edges tue outer pages serving as covers are clean and smootji and the inner ones are coated with wax and tilled with accounts which appear to be mainly records of joans | near the tablets was found a bronze bust ofthe banker bearing bis name 1 from forty to sixty men arc contin ually employed in the excavations 1 under a subsidy from the

gress publishes a telling article in regard to the vicious practice of com promising with government defaul ters it gives a table containing the names of fourteen prominent defaul ting collectors of internal revenue with the amount due from each the amount released through compromise and the dates ofihe letters written by secretaries of the treasury approving such compromises the total amount owed to the government by these fourteen collectors was 1,604,075,29 of which 1,231,604.77 was release and thus lost leaving only 372,470 52 to be restored to the treasury — there is no apparent reason why most of this stolen money should not have been recovered from the sureties — certainly a sharp prosecution of the sureties who were commonly respon sible men would have saved a much larger percentage than was saved by the suspicious system of compromise in the case of collector joshua a bailey who got away to brazil or some other safe south american coun try with 728.891 32 of moneys col lected by him unaccounted for the de partment kindly released 678,891.82 and compromised on receiving 50,000 though such men as george opdyke aug schell and thomas c durand leading capitalists of new york were among his sureties why secretaries of the treasury should accept such a paltry part of debts so abundantly se cured is among the things that no fellah can find out or has succeeded yet in finding out the present dem ocratic house may manage to throw light upon it mr magee complains that he introduced a resolution in the last house calling for information on this subject but the

the children who took part were those of old residents of the city vast audi ences were present at each presenta tion of the allegory the weather this evening being propitious and there being no sessions of the public schools there was a matinee the audience in most part was composed of women and children about half past two while the great house was densely packed and thousands of chil dren among the audience were at the height of their enjoyment some boy in the gallery either through mis chief or ignorance raised the cry of fire and as a red light from the col ored fires used in the piece hashed out from the wing's every inch of the theatre being occupied and a dense crowd pressing and surging about the stairways and in front of the doors some one in the audience took up the cry of fire and it was re-echoed from near the door by some one who caught a glimpse ofthe glare from the stage tliere was an immediate rush for the front door a child was pushed down the steps who screamed and immediately after a man thrust his arm through the window the screams and crash were enough to set a panic in full force and in the nar row vestibule leading to the street the scene was a
