Ef.SKWHKItlt in to day's issue wk ke produca from Lcaal Miscellany of tho American Law llcglsler, Hon. W. M. lUpsher's highly Interesting article on Title-Deeds. Just at this tlmo title-deeds, or the single lax lssto Is commanding tbe attention of tbe most Intelligent thinkers and writers of tbe ago, so that Mr. Itapsber's thesis Is qutto se&soiiablo and worth; of perusal. Canada iias passed a. law crtEDiT able to herself and beneficial to the United States, insomlich that hereafter United States boodlers will be unablo to find a safe asylum within her jurisdiction. Tbe action of the Canadian government Is timely and commendablo considering that during tho past decade American "thieves' have lived in style and affluence In her chief cities, their eas6 and safety being an encourage ment to greater frauds In this country. JIon. Michael Cassidv of this law Arm of Kapshcr fc Cassldy, of Mauch Chunk, is being favorably mentioned by the nowspapers throughout the state, as a strong man for tho Democratic nomination of State Treasurer. Mr. Cassldy utterly repudiates tbo suggestion that he Is a can didate) or over thought of being ono, as be says he Is fixed in his resolve to devote himself entirely to tho practice of his pro fession. This of course settles it, still It is a mattcrof common remark, oven among bis political opponents, that it will be a very easy thing for the Convention to nomi nate a man having less strength and ster ling qualities for that Important public trust than Mr. Cassldy possesses. BROADBRIM'S 1 Y. LETTER. As I remarked last week everything' has to giye wav to tbe coming Centennial celebration. Tbe air Is full of It, the stores are full of it. Everybody Is full of It. 'It Is a delicate subject I know, but tho ques tion Is forced upon us, whether wo will or no, and that is, Was Georgo W. as correct a man as posterity supposes him to bo? When we promised to provide for his de cendarts and glvo them a free blow out, we counted all there was In sight, and came to tbe conclusion that wo would carry them all In a hackney coach with a one horse buggy contingent, but counted without our host, for from present appearances tbeio will be enough of Washlngtons and Wash ington's collateral Issue to (ill tbe Opera House and cram tbo surrounding streets. Now, mlndyou, these are no sham relations, or as tbey say In tbe classic vernacular of Chatham street, no "snides,"' but tbe real, genuine Simon Pure article, and no mis take, and every one of them comes with a carefully prepared pedigree, straight as a string, from himself to Georgo ll'ashing ton. In my last I spoko of tbo iuimenso in flux of thleyes and of tho measures taken by the police to prevent their dopredatlous on our visitors. A bill was Introduced at Albany Intending to give the police en larged powers in arresting well known professional pickpockets and thieves, and its passage caused rather acrimonious de hate which brought Dry Dollar Sullivan to the front. Who Is Dry Dollar Sullivan, you ask? He may not be known on the outside, but In New York we know him very well. The Sixth Ward, which Mr. Sullivan represents In tho Legislature of the State, Is tho great centre of thieves, murderers, harlots, gamblers and all sorts of disreputable characters'wlth which this city Is cursed. There aro very many very bad places in New York; places where your life would not be safe, If you wore known to .have a dollar In jour pocket, but among them all there Is nothing quite so bad as tbo Sixth ll'ard. It is not a largo Ward. In can be crossed In any direction in ten minutes, but within Its borders sin enough blooms and blossoms for a city of ten mill Ions. On Centre street the Tombs rears Its solemn front, and within Its sorrowful walls many eminent citizens of tbo Sixth ll'ard have ended their days, the expenses of their taking off being defrayed by the county. The Five Points stands nearl) in the centre of tbe Ward, and the wretched space from which the Points radlalo is, in the very irony of fate, called Paradise Park, MhougMts associations for a hundred and fifty years" Lave been hose of the place which is supposed to bo tho very opposite of Paradise. In old colonial days it was a plague spot, then far on the outskirts of the city. Part of Its domain was occupied by a klock or pond, in the centre of which was an Island on which all the executions topic place. It has sustained Its evil reputa tlon from that day to this. Tbe most, re spectable business there Is saloon keeping, though thieves and gamblers are held In high repute. Its most prominent politicians have graduated from tho rum shops and gambling hells, and ono of Its choicest pro- uucts is ury Dollar Sullivan, wuo now rep resents the IKard. That Mr. Sullivan Is deficient in the three It's is not to his dis credit, for his opportunities were few and his constituents did not require It. His compatriots. Fatty Walsh and Paddv Diver. have fought many a bard battle In disput ing tho supremacy of the Ward. IFhen tbo bill to arrest known thieves without warrant, and which was specially intenaea to protect visitors during our uen tennlal celebration, was up before the '.eels lature, Dry Dollar Sullivan jumped to his feet, for it threatened a largo portion of his constltutents with not only tbo loss of their liberty, but also it deprived them ot one of tho most profitable opportunities of the .century. The gold watches they have miss ed, the pocket-books tbey would have rak ed in, the purseslney would have snatched. No wodder that Dry Dollar felt outraged, and besides this much of tho money looted in these successful raids would have found a resting place In the till of Dry Dollar's Baloon. Inspector Hi ncs savs It's a thieves' den, and that robbers are the companions 01 me inaiymuai wue represents the sixth Ward in the Legislature of New York. H'e knew long before be found a home In .Mates Prison that Doodle Alderman Jaebne was a receiver of stolen goods. It Is flattering to our amour propre to know that these are the men that renresent us in our State and .Municipal councils; without their aid politics could not be successfully run in mis cuv. TIs true, 'tis pity; and pity 'tis, tis true. The bill I trust will pass, for It U our in ten tlon to make this city so safe during the celebration that, while we will not" bo quite prepared to ask our country frlcndsto bang their wallets on tbe telegraph poles and lamp posts, still as far as human care and foresight can do It, Superintendent Byrnes will make traveling and sight seeing in this city so secure, that tbe itverage country man, with ordinary care, can see everything ' nave a goou time, ana get back homo with out the loss of a dollar. .Easter Sunday came to us as one of the most glorious days In the year. For the first time this season the south wind came genial and warm, and nature responding to the challenge, seemed to leap Into sudden and glorious life. Evervbody was out of doors, the Parks were full, and our German population, who take their createst pleasure in me open air, iainy reveneu in the warm and Inviting sunshine. Our German friends do not resemble their English or American cousins. Instead of putting twenty dollars In bis pocket and starling off alone to nave a good time, ilans takes his wife and all the children. What I leave tbe baby at home I .No, not by a long shot: bring blm along too. And so tbe whole family start off, and tbe German will have .a better time with all of his famllr on two . dollars and a half, than an Englishman or an American can have alone on twentv, Glorious was the Easier muilc at all the -churches. Grand anthems of thanksgiving and praise rolled up to heaven, rejoicing that UMlst has risen, not lets to-aav than nineteen hundred years ago. Like Christ mas It Is a season of blessed and open handed ' charity, bringing joy and gladness to the nomea 01 me poor, next to tue spienaia music come the flowers which every year grow more magnificent tbe floral decor ations this year surpassing anything ever Dsiore seen in ew xoric, jirooklyn, too covered herself with glory In her Easter celebrations; Dr, Talmsgs's Tabernacle, as twnl, comlnii well to the fore. Tho rover end Doctor u a crcat over nf muslo and flowers; he knows how to make them ap peal to ihe popular heart. A simple pansy or a crimson azalla will furnish mm staple material for a sermon that will reach around the world. So Easter, Christmas, New Year's and Thanksgiving aro always crcat days at tho Tabernacle. A strango case occurred in liroomyn tins week which has set the town a talking, A vory respectable young woman had a young man arreslod for assault, and he was safely lodged behind prison bars. The lady was handsome, well dressed and refined, and the man was the most brutal, dirty, besott ed kind or a tramp. Then tho trampciaim ed the woman as his wife, aud tho woman repudiated the claim. When brought Into Court face to faco the woman dropped on the floor llko a shot, and it was sometlmo before the trial could go on. When it did proceed the most extraordinary slate of af fairs was shown over heard In a PollcoCourt. It appeals tho parties met several years ago and the girl ran awa from home vlth this young man, who then occupied a ver good position, and lived with blm as his wife. After a time sho returned to her father's house and Introduced him as her husband, and the couple lived with her parents over a year, the young man doing' nothing to support his wife, suddenly wncn compell ed to leave or work he Informed her parents that ho had never married their daughter and left. Then ho sought to compel her to live with blm, assaulting her in the streets, and wherever she got employment to sup port herself and child, ho denounced her to her employers as an improper person. and told the story of her shame. Finally, maddened by his cowardly persecutions, sho had blm arrested, and notwithstanding bis offer to marry her she landed In in In the penitentiary. as tue owner 01 until ironing hock Kobert Bonner, the modest owner of the New York Ledger and Maud S., has no equal In the United States, If In the world. l saw htm at tuo Tracy sale last ween, an Interested spectator, when one hundred bead were sold belonging to the Secretary of the Navy for $114,000; the highest price being six thousand dollars for a prize stall Ion, which was purchased by Scbultz the baker. Several times during the sale I thought Bonner was going to take a liver, but If he did bo managed it so well that nobody saw him bid. Ten minutes after Shultz the baker secured his prize for stx thousand dollars, he wad offered nine thous and for his bargain but declared that twelve thousand would not buy him. whereat tho Secretary of the Navy looked decidedly blue. iiusbands, do not waicn your wives too closely; have a little confidence.

TITLE-DEEDS FOR LANDS. nr iion. w. m. uArsnsn.

As corroborative ol this, 1 refer to what 1'errot the Historian says, substantially. After the great battloat Kadesh, not much later In their his tory. King Khlta-slrtt sent his ambassadors down to Egypt to negotiate a treaty ot peace and alli ance. They made a silver Plato upon which was engraved In the Ilittlto language the text of the treatv thev nronosed to enter Into. This. says 1'errot, " Is the most undent diplomatic act which nas come down to us." The most uucieul foundation for a chain of title In a deed, that has fallen under my obser vation contains intkii alia the following; ' Whereas tho Creator of the earth, by parole and livery of seizin, did enfeoff the parents of mankind, to wit, Adam uud Eve, of all that cer tain tract of land called aud known as the plane tary system by the name ot the earth, . . to have and to hold to them, said Adam uud Eve, ana tho heirs of their bodies lawltilly tu be be gotten, lu fee-tall general forever, us by said feoffment recorded by .Moses, lu the first chapter of the first book of his records, commonly called licnesis, more fully and at large appears." ..lusra nas iuuuwcu uuu siruugiy suMuiueu uy Dlackstone and manv other nntrd leiral writers.

It may, however, be observed, that In un age of creed, selfishness and merceu ary combinations, tho SingleTax l'arty" under Hie leadership of Henry Georgo has recently be come a potential political fnirn mini, tlm staim of politics. A voice conies from tbe people which nas ior several centuries been stilled so that It comu not make liseu ileal ll.

The moral, economic and legal obstacles which the new movement has to encounter, are but slight, lu comparison with the difficulty of gelling the people to understand Its theory aud practical application, und to make common cause to right their wrongs. It demands " the abolition of all tYt linm, linlnuti.,. nl the taking, by taxation upon laud values, Irre spective of Improvement, of the annual rental ,.uuoui iiu inusu various torms ot natural op portunities embraced under the general term, luud: . . . and that ua a remit.

The Makers of a Well Known Churn writer "We have been often asked by dairymen: ' What is the very best soap to use to properly cleanse dairy utensils ? ' We have invariably replied, the 'Ivory,' but as for giving specific directions T washing dairy utensils, it is really summed up in making them icroughly clean. Boiling water must be used, and that, in coll ection with Ivory Soap, will thoroughly cleanse and deodorize die wood, leaving it clean and sweet for further use. Any dairy utensils half cleaned will spoil the delicate aroma of 'gilt edge butter,' which may be perfect in other respects." v. A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be ' just as good as the ' Ivory " they ARE NOT, but'like all counterfeits, lack tho peculiar and remarkable qualities .of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting it.
