be distinctly understood that every purchase

deeds which are not presented. in the . Police
Manual as part ofa policeman's duty. He
went into•a beer saloon on America, street;

to the bartender, an old man. and he remon
strated, whereupon he was seized by Morgan
and struck on the head with a "billy." At
this point a young man, who *as present, put
in the remark--" i
That s shameful." - Morgan
at once turned upon him. Thin young man
ran, and was . pursued Along Berks
street and roan Third, when Morgan
drew a pistol and fired a shot at the fugitive,
but fortunately missed the mark. Morgan
then entered the ..North • Pennsylvania 'Rail
road depot, but, ofi account of his conduct,
was ordered out by the officers of the Com
pany: Then he drew his revolver and threat
ened to shoOt, but failed to carry out - his
threat. •He was then' taken to the Station:
House by two of his fellow policemen . , and by
order of Vent. Pritchard :was locked up .all
night. This morning he was arraigried , before
Aid. Heins, find • held in $BOO - bail for a

series of private balls to bo given by the Juu

Hall, and was a brilliant and successful affair.
The attendance of members and their ladies
was large. Dancing commenced at nine
o'clock, and was'' kept up until a late hour.
Mr. Henry Van Beil acted as Master of Cere
monies, and his excellent management con
tributed greatly to the success of the hop.
'Supper was served by J. Misch, Superin
tendent of the Junger. Mannerchor Hall.
Everything passed off in the most agreeable
and satisfactory manner, and all of the parti

the greatest extent possible. The next ball
will take place at Musical Fund Hall, in De

A' Usßrut, INVENTION.—An invention.
by which the sudden jerk, or "kick," as steers
men call it, caused by a blow of a wave upon
the rudder of a vessel, is entirely' obviated,
has recently been introduced. The'Reliever"
is constructed on the, principle of the,bylinder
and piston; having an india rubber or steel
Spiral springs, on which the piston bead rests.
When the instrument is shackled on to a
chairrand a strain is brought to bear. the pis
ton draWB out in a similar way to the bar of a
spring-balance. The testimony of experienced
sea-captains who have adopted this "Reliver"
is uniformally favorable. 'Fewer men are re
quired at the wheel in rough weather, and the
danger of breaking the rudder chains from
the Sudden jerks of the rudder is done away.
The invention is's - Cell worthy of the attention
of ail shipmasters.

, The recognition.orthe , fact that there is s'

raie'abroad that the Pal/,Mali;. Gazette ' makes'
no excuse forAriotingli,oin'anotiee In the .7)t'
bars of a Erenchirauslation of Mr. Mill's book,
cin. Sir Hamilton'S ‘,Pbilosophy.'? M.
Taine, the Writerof the article; says:
our mind,' the only living. and -original
philosophy in Europe IS' to be Rana at the
present:day in England. Mi.,o;L'ain, Mr. Her:
bert 'Spcnser and, above all, 'Mr. Stuart
Mill; are its princiPatrepresentatiVeS.
-Not to speak of the literary part 3 do not think
,rhave read, since , tlie, 'Provincial .Letters, of I
Pascal,' a polendeal book' more powerful, a
work of analysis and of. legie
cise, more persistent; more`:thorotigh-",,r , oing
(acliarnee), more adapte,d , tcrOnVince, and at
the same time more loyal and!inore tilled with
the lovesof pure truth. . But 'besides this very
great merit, the book has' one Yet greater; it is
full of ideas which are clear, original, and often
new. .. . If, iu such a niatter, one may be
allowed to speak of oneself, I may mention that
this Is the book which I lfave studied most for
the last two years."
Unless our memory deceives us; it is not so
very many years ago that M. Taine discovered
that a living English school of:pbilosophy ex
isted (see the beginning of his essay on '"Stuart
Mil r), and after such praise - as - We have just
quoted one is encouraged ito hope that the
author of the "Ilistory, of English Litera
ture" may some day adiscover that there exists
a - modern English School of art as well as one
of philosophy.

Sir Walter Scott emarks, in °tie Of his novels
—"Waverley," if• ve remember rightly—that
"there are few, y ling men,' ,ainong sturdy
moralists , even, w. . would mot rather be
accused of some m ral peccadillo: han of want
of skill in horsem fiship.". In England, es
pecially, this observation. applies with great
force. The latest illustration of it IS offered by
Mr. Sydney Dobell, poet,. whó . haVing lately
met with a severe accident when riding, has
addressed a note to the Athenccuniwith a view
of correcting any errbneous impressions that
might have arisen regarding his horsemanship.
Fie say's, in substance, that he has been
accustomed to the saddle from childhOod, and
that the hurt received by him was from the
Weight of an unruly mare,whiCh fell upon him.
It seems that the animal had tried to shake him
ofinit. failing to do so, had ;reared up and
fallen .back: on her rider—one of the most
dangerous trickgldown to horsemen. Several
plans have been resorted to for the cure of this
Vice when it has become a "confirmed one.
Alining them is that of leaping off ; the horse,
and, just as he has-got himself balanced on his
hind legs, sending him over backwards by a
judicious chuck atthe This, how-'
ever, requireS greater activity and. . pres
ence of. mind than. are possessed by most
riders. .-knother plan, which has been success
fully tried, is that of striking the horse between
the ears with the butt of a heavily loaded whip
a .re momenraf-riSiny;-the-blOw,-if. properly
administeredrbringing him to the grOund par
tially stunned. This is said to prevent a horse
from ever trying the trick again.; but a safer
plan, and one reported as being equally effica
cious, is to use a bottle Of water for the pur
pose instead of a Whip.. This does not stun the
" horse, butt be is so much annoyed by the water
running into his ears and eyes as to be cau
tious in future about making a biped of him
self.

GENTLEMEN: In the year 1e.56 I nnfortntiately was in
business in the Artisan Building. which was destroyed
by fire on the 10th of April. I had then in use what I
supposed was a Fire-proof Safe, bet upon opening it I
found everything was destroyed,and fire burning therein.
You will recollect, gentlemen, there was several of
your safes in that fire, MAO several in the fire at Sixth
and Commerce , streets, the neat May, five weeks after
' wards, all of which upon being opened proved they
were fire-Proof indeed, for I witnessed the opening of
the most of them, and in every case the contents' were
preserved, while safes of other makers were partially or
entirely destroyed. 1 at once concluded to have some
thing that I could depend upon, and purchased ono of
your safes.
The safe I ptirchnsed of Yon at that tithe was subjectdd
to a white-heat (which was witnessed by several gentle
men ilea reside in the neighborhood) at the destruction
of wy Marble . Paper factory, 921. Wallace street, on the
afternoon and evening of the 4th inst. After digging
the safe from the ruins, cued , o ening It thhrmorning, I
was much pleased to find_ e erything, consisting of.
boots, papers, money and silve
wl are, all right. I shall
wants nothcm of your safes as ho air I can-get a place
to continuo my business in . , I could not rest contented
~
with any other make 9f saf e.
