Buchanan a Candidate;'
-awhile Mr. Buchanan ■waa'tjietioatingdurlng
lisp summer at Bedford Bu*t^TjA^«P; ;
editor of the Pittsbiorg Morning, Post,.
took it Into his hoad )f oM; ino, ;IBorning, tO;
indite an article introducing ifr/BueSANANtb
the American people as' a candidate for re
flection. It was an article written in plain
English, and calculated to make a sensation.
After the’ President had roadit, he sat down
pnpl wroteapphtb and characteristic note to Ilia
friend, ’justice MoOanme'ss, 'of tlio 'Western
dittriet'ot Penngyivanla', In which, while he
'thanked Hr.'Bini for the manner in which he
had put him forward, bogged to bp considered,
under all the surrounding circumstances, as
ontof the ring for the snccossion, and depre
:cited the mao ,which the editor of the Post
hid made of bis name, heoause it might inter
fere with such measures as ho (Mr. Buchanan)
might desire to recommend to theAmerioan
Congress. ' '
;! Ths editorjarcompliinent to Ifr. Buchanan
wail ap earnest,|and tho echo of Mr. Buohahan
to. , Juatico MoOanulbss was so explicit,
that , everybody was convinced that both
sides, meant what they said. The Post was
sincere in the i recommendation, the President
was sincere in the declination. No donbt, if
the'editor had met the President in the broad
walk leading from the large hotel to the Springs,
they would havo embraced in fratomal harmo
ny, and agreed upon the platform that each
find laid down. It now appears that C.olonel
Bail, of the Pittsburg Post, was right in an
nouncing Mr. Buohanan aa a candidate, and
that tho aforesaid Mr. Buchanan was wrong in
declining tho candidacy for 1860. The primary
elections in Philadelphia prove conclusively
that the President is in thefttld for a renomina
'tson. His beloved friend, his companion, his
Pythias, his Borneo, James Gohoon Bennett,
’of tho New York Herald, announces his name
as the only one that can unite tho Democratic
■party, and save tho country in 1860. Why
■should Collector Basse take oft his coat and
ins true tall tho subordinates of the Federal Ad
ministration ‘in this city to elect delegates
to the State Convention ? Why should Post
| master Napoleon Bonapabte Bbowne do the
jsamo thing ? Why should Surveyor General
HAMILTON' exercise himself? , Why should,
the head of the Directory, Colonel James
Boss Snowden, ■ extend himself in the same
direction? Not, cortainly, simply because
they .are' ! opposed to : Dobolas j not because
thoyiij arc hostile 'to Bbeoeineidok, or to
or to Lane. A fight upon negatives
amounts to nothing; jwsitivo
polnbr-dn other can
didate. .The States
may be objurga
tions of -his* iepmes to
; spend money, It is' nponldmseH'ii|ie6gti it is
i clear that ;Babb., and Bennet* both
. right, and that Mr., Buchanan 'iajnfihe field
, for re-election. The programme is a very,sim
ple one. He,expects, to unito tho South at
tho, Charleston Convention, after a contest be
tween others, and with the aid of Northern
votea to secure a nomination; then by the
aid of a united Southern vote at tho Novem
| bercontest in 1869, ho looks forward to the
electoral colleges of Oregon, Californio, and
New Jersey, to swell up his • vote, so as to
leave the decision of it to Penfisylvania

cy which carefully conceals hia actions, until
the fact la accomplished, and ever leaves his

was Prime Minister, and spccnlation was rife,
at the close of 1828, his,intended policy
as regarded the Catholic question, to which
O’Coflkm&’s election toParllament had given
unusual importance, ah welt as vitality, which
at ono time seemed'likely to end in Civil War,'
the old soldier-statesman said, in reply to a
fishing question on tho subject, “If I thought
that the hair of my head knew my intention, 1
would cut it off,-and wear a wig.” Just as
secret and self-maintOintng Is NAroiEOs.
' ' A few days ago, the hews was that his poli
tical agent liad signed the Treaty at Zurich,
whereby the Grand-Dukcß were to be restored
to, the Italian Dueliies, which havo driven them
away. Close on the heels of this came a semi
official announcement in tho Mmiteur, that
Napoleoh would neither aid Grand-Dukes in
forcibly returning to their lato territories nor
permit any other Power to assist them in tho
attempt. ; Now, by tho news which we pub
lished yesterday, it appears that Napoleon has
written to tho King of Sardinia demanding his
adhesion to tho Treaty of Zurich; requiring
that the Dukes of Toscany and Modena bo re
stored, tho former with augmented territory ;
andthat the Confederation of tho Italian States,
as proposed at Villa Franca, be carried out,
with certain reforms in the Papal States. To
induce Vicioa Emmanuel to agree p these
conditions, Napoleon offers to annex Parma
to Piedmont:—Parma,which is actually tho
most Austrian of the three Duchies!
To understand tho extent and qualify of this
bait, we must examine how It will afl'ect Vro-
TOiL Emmanuel. At the commencement of
the war his territories consisted of tho Island
of Sardinia, (whence bis regal title,) Pied
mont, Savoy, and Nice. When the war was
ended by the agreement entered into at Villa
Franca, Lombardy Proper was transferred to
tho King of Sardinia,—an accession of over
B,OQO square miles of fertile, territory, with a
population close upon 8,000,000. This was
not doing so badly, after all, though Vxoron
Emmanuel is said to have grumbled.
Let Parma ho also annexed to Piedmont, and
Victor EmtAHUEtwill additionally gain nearly
3,000 square miles of territory, with over half
a' million of Inhabitants. This may' not be
much; substantially, but it geographically will
round off tho King of Sardinia’s dominions by
adding tho territory from the southern bound,
ary of Lombardy right down to tho sea, and
win thus giro compactness to the Sardinian
kingdom, which it now wants. Politically,
this accession of territory would make Sardi
nia inferior only to Naples—if at all so.
. Whether. Viotob Emhahuei, will accept
Parma—also wishing to have Tuscany and
Modena, which desire to pass under his sway—
is precisely what we are unable to predicate
out of the scanty materials before Us. Bnt, as
ho.can scarcely hope that Europe will sanction
his. annexing, the three. Duchies, with the
northern section of the Papal dominions viz:
the Romagna, Bologna, and the Farrarese—
he may think himself fortunate in obtaining
even Parma, alter having already received
Lombardy.
* Why Parma should be surrendered may bo a
question; ; But it must be remembered that
the Duchess-Regent, Louise de Bourdon, is
sister of .the Count do Chahuobd, the legiti
mist Pretender, as grandson of Charms X, to
the throne of France. Napomos may not

taking care of the interests of hie rival’s

I*') The philosophy of the invasion of Harper’s Perry
b well worthy tho ; patient consideratioiCof the
statesman.. Its bearing upon the fate ’of the fro*
Colorpd population of the Bouth is an element iA
especial importanoo. This unfortunate race—always
the subject of suspicion and excitement in that
quarter of tho Union—will find itself greatly im
perilled and harassed by tho feeling produood by
tho raid of John Brown and his followers. Not only
will the laws of tho different Southern States bo
made more severe in regard to the slaves themselvep,
but it is now apparent that'a system of legislation
is to ho resorted to looking to the speedy expulsion
of the free negroetf. Long ago, before suoh a thing
as the Harper’s Forry tragedy was dreamed of, the
statesmen of tho South hod glvon this subjoot their
most careful attention. Arkansas has, I believe,
adopted a law oompolling the free nogroes to leave
tho State within a certain tlmo, or to aooept a
mjuter should they refuso to do so. Two similar
blits were ponding boforo tho North Carolina Le
gislature when that body last adjourned. Maryland
will unquestionably take action upon it, and Virgi
nia has long boen preparing itself for some oxtreme
and decisive measures in regard to it. A lato
Alabama paper uses the following language in an
appeal to the approaching Legislature of that Stato
to remove freo persons of color from tyeyond
• borders: .
“ From their sooial isolation and irresponsibility,
free negroes gradually booome desperate and abandon
ed. The pursuits and habits of civilisation are ropug
, nant to the negro nature, veryoorrectly says the Au
gusta Dtspateh. Contact with the white man, under the
1 restraints of our institutions, induces a material eleva
t tion in his character, but loft to himself the negro re
lapses into hie normal condition of barbarism. Involun
tary servitude is the only sphere In whioh ho oan bo
l useful, and evidently the condition God intended ho
i should fill in oontact with tho Anglo-Saxon raco. A freo
negro inajshtfe country is a natural incendiary. If he
oommits no overt not of orime or insubordination, his
' preaenoa is a perpetual incentive to discontent among
. bis brethren in bonds.”
Where, after their expulsion from tho South, are
these unfortun&io people to go ? Of course, into tho
free States, and several of these havopassod laws pro
hibiting their admission, whilst nearly all the rest
have adopted measures by whioh the free negro is
mode inferior in a political senso. In whatever Stato
they are found, North and Sonth, they are, in at
least one respect—and in sotno in many respects—
made inferior to the whites by local legislation;
and they are so regarded, as we all know, by the
common law of soeial life. Thrown into our largo
oities, after they are foroed to leave other States,
they are certain to become a charge upon tho com-
munity, if not an element inoiting to popular tu
mult. . Thus oxpelled from the States So„uth, and
after awhile from the States and oities North, they
will be thrown into British America and Canada.
Ito&mires no prophet to foretell that the Canadian
Oupi|§hiQnt will soon rise and insist upon somo
provision , being made for this unfortunate olass.
Here now question well entitled to the atten
tion of patriotic and bonevolent men. In a very
short time it willdemand n remedy.
The Pennsylvania delegation to tho Cincinnati
Convention will long'remember Hon. C. S. Torply,
a delegate to the same body, from the State of
Mississippi, and an ardent friend and supporter of
James Buchanan. He has written a letter to the
Vicksburg Sun expressing his position in regard
to Judge Douglas. He thinks that Douglas mil
be 'certain to get the Charleston nomination, and
.that, if so nominated, the States whioh go into the
Convention will be bound in honor to support him.
Judge Tarply thinks, however, that tho Southern
delegates ought to'withdraw from the Convention
in the ovont of that body’s refusing to pass a reso
lution declaring it the duty of Congress to pro
tect slavery in the Territories, whioh that body
would of oourso refuse to do if it should oontain
Douglas men onough to nominate him.
Oar friond Colonel Florenoois busily engaged
making preparations for the circulation of the first
number of his “National Democratic Quarterly
Review,” upon whioh, common justice requires that
I should say, ho has expended a great deal of la
bor, and enlisted a very considerable amount of
t&lont. Did you ever see Colonel Florence frank
ing public documents? Talk of your sewing ma
chines—they are nothing in comparison with him,
when, pen in hand, he sits down to writo his pa
tronymio upon the circulars for tho Review, and
anything else ho may deem worthy of tho perusal
of his constituents and friends. If his namo were
signed as often to cheeks, and he had a fund from
which to draw, he would very soon exhaust tho na
tional treasury or Astoria estate. Nobody com
plains at the use of the Colonel’s frank, while
everybody knows that he has no logal right to send
the proposals of his magazlno freo through tho
mails—not being offiolal matter. Tho reason of
this is, that he is so ready to serve friend and foe,
that what would awaken censure in others is
kindly tolerated In him. ’ He has gono Into his
new “ Quarterly” with a rush, and my hope is that
he may sucoeod. One of the weaknesses of tho
gaUa&tuOolbnel is a fondness for newspapers, which,
notwithstanding .'all his experiments in this line,
havo be£h most dismal failures. He does not soom
Jto have given up heart or hope, but has staked him
self upon anotbor, much more extensive and for
midable than any ho h*a heretofore hazarded. It
is stated that Mr. Wendell, the publio prlntor, Is
among his backers, The portrait of Mr. President
Buchanan will illuminate tlio first number, anti
ought to secure a large official support for tho
Quarterly, but the office-holders havo been so
thoroughly bled by tho recent draughts upon
them,'to support tho policy of tho Administration
by controlling convention# and nominating candi
dates, and defeating,“rebels,” that there is very
little money left to assist so patriotic an entorpriso

Aornon’s Night at the Walnut-street Thb
athk.—We call attention to n card, in another
column, nddrorsod to Mrs. Sidney F. Bateman, by
some of our most eminent citizens, tondering n tes
timonial, which is nothing more nor loss thun n
revival of a onoc-hallowod custom, entitled “The
Author’s Night,” Mrs. Bateman's tragody of
“Geraldine” has more than fulfilled the expecta
tions formed of it, coming, even as it did, to onr
oity heralded by tho appiauso of Now York and
Boston. It is a work eminently powerful in the
portrayal of the higher order of human passion,
while, ns is not ofton the ease, its suhjeotive de
ments are admirably seconded by a thorough
knowledge of tho objective neoesslticsof tho drama,
In other words, its passion and Us plot are ovonly
balanced. It was a graceful aot for thoso promi
nent in litorature and public affairs to tondor to
the ocoomplishod authoress of this oxoellont tra
gedy a tribute of admiration, which is, of neces
sity, made valuable through the names by which it
is sanctioned. Tho " Author’s Night” will take
plooe on noxt Monday ovoning, on which ooonsion
“Geraldine” wUI bo poriormed, with tho admira
ble aotress, Mrs. Waller, in tho principal charac
ter. As an additional attraction, wo may montion
that Mr. Bateman himself will sustain the charac
ter of tho Bard. **.

“ Where, then, is our available Northern Demo
crat for 1860 to bo found? Thoro Is no othor than
Mr. Buchanan. Ho can secure all the Southern
States and tho two or three Northern Staton neces
sary to an elootion on the Democratio side. The
late Northern elections have gone by default.
Their results indicate that upwards of half a mil
lion of rotes are missing. But let the lssuo in 1860
bo between the conservative national policy and
principles of Mr. Buchanan on tho ono hand, and
tho revolutionary policy and doctrines of Seward
on the other, and ihoso missing votes will be found
on the side of tho Union and the Constitution. ” . ,

James Buchanan at Home.—lt Is made plain
by the nows from Pennsylvania, given elsewhere,
thatthe Buchanan Democracy have been beaten in
Mr. j3aohanfln’fl own town by four to five hundred
majority, and in the county by three to four thou
sand. This shows a wonderful want of popularity
in the nominee of the border-ruffian Democracy.
The people of Lancaster county and town are re*
speotable and intelligent men, of logioal minds and
reasoning habits. They have known Mr. Buohanan
for thirty or forty years; and of all their know
ledge of him, both personal and political, they now
declare solemnly at the polls that ho is not their
choice. : This is a most singular fact; it indicates
that Buohanan has in bis own State and his own
neighborhood no personal or political popularity.

result will doubtless bo gratifying, pecuniary and
otherwise. Tho revival of the good old custom of
having an author’s night, is a good idea. Tho
play has had no small success hero; partly owing
to its own intrinsic merits; partly owing to the
liberal, tasteful, and appropriate manner in which
Mrs. Gnrrotson put it on tho stage; and largely to
the effioiency in which is has been performed. Tho

THE COURTS.
YBSTERDAT'B P&OOBBDXNffS
Rororted for The Press.]
QuAiiTEft Sessions —Judgo Thompson.—
Dcsortiou cases occupied tho entire Session of tho
court yesterday, tho pleas of the Commonwealth
being proscoutod by John P. Sanderson, Esq., the
solicitor of the Board of Guardians of tho Poor.
Wts miqbt grow fanciful in a description of tho de* |
tails of utter home misery which woro elicited
from tho respective parties and witnesses, but wo
; forbonr, with tho single remark thgt tho pen of
I “Boz" himself is needed to portray properly tbo
I scones in court on desertion day.
I It is no pleasant task to write of hoarU and
homes mnuo desolate, after long years of wedded
lovo; of tho vast ruin that marks tho progreM of
that arch enemy which steals away the brainß of
humanity, and changes tho holiest affections of the
truo and good into the veriest hate of those who,
| beroro the altar of God, have solemnly vowed to
“ lovo. honor, and oboy " tho victims of their cruel
ncgloct; or to reopen tho wounds of the gontlo,
I trusting spirit, lured from tho happy domestio cir-
I 010 to become tho mato of a potty tyrant, who
I proves & traitor to tho most snored declaration of
Inis life. Othors may liko tho thomo, and to their
I caro and exposition, with all its ohoerless aspects,
1 we prefer to commit it.
In ono case tried yesterday, the parties had been
marriod for over fifteen years. The old story of
quarrels and recriminations presented itself,’but
through the suggestions of Haniol Dougherty, Esq ,
counsel for the husband, a reconciliation was
effected, and tho couple, after saluting each other
lovingly and gracefully, walked from the court
room arm nod arm. In another case—that of a
romantic wedding—-tho defendant's counsel had
himself for a client. Ho produced vnrious tender
eptatlos which had boon given him in his halcyon
days, boforo jealousy allowed tho separation of
“Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat aa pjjo,”
Tho husband is young, and tho wife very intelli
gent and prepossessing in appearance. It was evi
uont that the old fiame of reel love between them
was not wholly extinguished, and wo suppose that
by this timo they have “ made up," resolvod to
sock repentance tor tho past, and lovo each other
more than ever in the futuro.
We present below tho dotaila of ono of tho most
interesting cases tried in tho Quarter Sessions for
a very long time. Charles and Caroline Sharpless
wero oharged with tho larceny of $196 in coin,
tho properly of Peter Young. The circumstances
woro peoultar. Mr.-Young alleged that ho had the
money deposited in an opon box, and placed in a
closet of bis bedroom, the doors of tbo closet and
room being uulockcd. Mrs. Sharpless, who was
then unmarried, had been adomestio in the family,
and at that particular timo (August l&d) was stay
ing in tbo houso until such timo as sbo could obtain
another situation.
On the morning of tho lGth of August, sbo oamo
to Sir. Young, and informed him that, from the
appearance of tho closet in which tho rnonoy was
kept, sho thought como one had been there. Mr.
Y. immediately went to the place, and discovered
that bis money was gono, and, with it, a daguerre
niypo of himself. Up to this timo Mrs. S. had
been considered without money; but on tho 2d of
September, sbo married Charles Sharplcss, who
lived in a houso adjoining that of Mr. Young, nnd
it began to be noticed that sho was spending monoy
in the purchase of dry goods, Ac. The amount
ascertained to have been thus expended was in the
neighborhood cf thirty dollars. This aroused the
suspicions of Mr. Youug, who obtained a search
warrant, and, on exauiining the chest of Mr.
Sharpless, there was found a silver American
dollar. In tho money lost by Mr. Young there
was a silvor dollar, tho only silver coin Iu . the lot,
which had a mark on it. Tho coin found in tho
trunk corresponded with that lost. The daguer
reotype was also found. On examination by Mr.
Joseph A. Bonham, counsel for tbo defendants, it
appeared that, at tho time the money was taken,
there was a oolorod girl ongaged in tho house, who
had freo access to all tbo rooms; it further ap
peared that the family, together with Mrs. Sharp
less, had been to Atlantic City a day or two before
the money was taken, and during (heir absence
this colored servant had chargo of tho house. Mr.
Young further admitted that he had previously
nllowod money to remain oxposod, and on ono
occasion ho started to take Ids train down on tho
Atlautio road, and when at tho wharf. Mrs. Sharp
lesscamo to him with a bag of inonoy, which sho
told him sho had found lying in a drawer, liable to
bo stolen, nnd she was afraid ho had forgotten it,
and on this account she took chargo ot it, and
brought it to him. A pass-book of a saving fund
was produced, by which it appeared that an account
had boon opened by Charles Sbarpleis in Juno
last, and, In various anmuuts, twelve dollars had
boon deposited prior to the timo of this larceny.
Shortly after tho day tho money was mused, tbero
h tho entry of a deposit of eighty eight dollars.
The defence called tho mother ot Mr. Sharpies*,
who testified that her son had over one hundred
and forty dollar?, tho savings of years; that three
years ago she gave him a silver American dollar,
and sho flaw this dollar again a short timo since,
when at a “ freedom party " her son had it baked
iu a cake, uud sho got tho slice containing the
coin. She handed it back. A brother of Charles
testified that on Christmas ovo Inst ho had a dis
pute with his brother, who collected old coin, on
tho subject of tho rarity of silver dollars, and on
that occasion this particular dollar, referred to by
Mr Young, was produced. Tho officer who made
tho search stated that tbero wns a quantity of old
copper coin, together with this dollar, tho only
American dollar ip tho chest. It was further al
leged that tho daguerreutypo was taken in ex
change for one of Mis. Slmrpless, in tho possession
of Mr. Young. Another item of evidence was tho
fact that there was iu Ihu closot with tho money iu
question a largo quautity of jewelry, which was
not taken.
The c:u s e wa*? given to tbo jury on Thursday af
ternoon. After being out all night, they camo into
court yesterday morning and stated their friability
to agree. Judge Thompson said ho would not then
consent to discharge tho jury. After three hours
further deliberation they rendered a verdict of not
guilty. Tho parties were then discharged from
custody.

into Justice Cornwell’s court, this morning, in a
state of beastly intoxication. While in of
the officers in the court she took a fit of t/chrium

! CITY ITEMS.
Jons 8. Clark'S Celebrated srors‘i?3Ti-
BLisHMEXr.-We hare already spokes in the hxghW
terms, not only of the enterprise evinced by the pro
prietor of this widely-known Stove but also of
the special peculiarities upon -which its reputation
rests, in a Ist* notice of the extensive trade Sir.'
Clark is mnr doing with all parto of the country .-we it*- •
ted, ae an indication of the acknowledged superiority of
hiaStores.that the demand really exceeded his fiaiU.
ties to supply them. The moderate weather of the la*t
few da) ■, we learn, has enabled his large mun&ctnrinx
force to accumulate a splendid'snpply of all the desira
ble sizes, though we suspect this announcement will
attract enough unapplied City purchaser* to carry off
the ball of them in a very few day*. There are a va-
riety ol 'cause* which combine to'render theee eeTebra- ‘
ted Stoves, of Mr. Clark’s raaoufaetnre, the meet desi
rable—we refer to Silver’s Gas-consuming Parlor Stove,
as improved and manufactured by him. For neatness,
durability, and economy, there is nothing to equal them.
Their fuel-saving properties are really remarkable. By
the aid of his ornamental patent Vrn, attached to the
top and supplied with a register, this Stove haa been
brought to such a state of perfection that improvement
upon it could not well be imagined.
Their manufacture, also, in point of being ye? fectly
air-tight, and made only of the lest quality <f Russti
sheet-iron, by secured for those of Mr. Clark's getuag
up a surpassiag excellence. I B order to obtain only
the best artic.e or Ross ia iron, ne has lonz been in the
habit of securing it directly from jlr*r hands, thus not
only saving considerable in tbe rwr, but giving him a
great advanwre in point of certainty of getting none
other than the genuine art.cle.
In passing his estsblisbment yesterday we found his
clerks employed in filling a very Urge order for hn Par
lor Stoves, of various sizes, from Central Virginia, to
which State he haa this season already shipped Stoves
enough in themselves to constitute a respectable sea
son's trade. It affords us pleasure to chronicle these
facts, as they indicate a “Uve” spirit in depart
ment of trade, and oar reasons for referring to this
bouse as folly as we here hare, are for the doable pur
pose of awarding to merit the credit U deserves and
pointing out to our readers the place for them to secure
a good article at a moderate price, with the aeeurauce
that they will not only get foil value for their money,
but also receive an article m all respects equal to what
it is represented to be.
Lecture bt Rev. T. Starr King.—lt ii with
pleasure that we announce to our readers that the fifth
lectuieof the Course before the People’s Literary In.
stitute will be delivered by the Rev. T. Starr King, of
Boston. Mr. King is, in all respects, one of the most
potuhed and deservedly popular members of the lectu
ring fraternity in this country. His lecture in this city
last season was one of the most original and entertain
ing of the season, and did much to establish hi* reputa

The famous affair of ‘‘the Queen's diamond
nackhce,” which made so much noise jest Before the
outbreak of the great revolution in 1733, is about to come
on again Before courts of Paris, the heirs and re presen*
tativts of B<shnier and Boeaange, the jewellers who
supplied the necklace, having brought an action against
the heirs acd the representatives of Cardinal de Rohan*
the Prince de Rohan, now rcs*ding in Bohemia, to ob
tain payment for it out of the Cardinal's estate, it hav
ing bocn confided to them by him. In this action, some
of the heirs of other creditors of the cardinal have in
tervened in order to obtain payment of what is due to
them. Having gained the suit, it is expected that they
will, I ke other folks, suit themselves with the fashiona
ble garments of Granville Stokes, No. 607 Chestnut
street.
The Completion of the Continental.— I The

second in point of attractiveness even to the Brown
ytone Clothing Hall of RookhiU & 'Wilson, Nos. 60S and
605 Chestnut street, above Sixth. The last named popu
lar establishment is one of the lions of Pflilad<j’rhi».
while the garments made there for gentlemen and
youths have a high reputation all over the country.—

A Man Passbs for what he is Worth.—Very
idlo is all curiosity concerning other peop’e’s estimate
of us, and idle Is all tear of remaining unknown. If a
nun knows that he can do anything—that be can do it
better than any one else—he has a pledge of the ac
knowledgment of that fact by all persons The world is
full of judgment days, and the universal accord for su
periority in the style and cut of beautiful clothing is
awarded to E. H. Eldridte k Co., of the ** Continen
tal” Clothing Hall, northeast corner of Chestnut and
Eighth streets.
Singular Hallucinations.—Within & few days
past, several cases of lunacy have manifested them
selves in Paris, which, were it not for the sadness always
inspired by such an affliction as the loss of reason,
might be termed amusing. One of these unfortunates
was an individual arrested on Friday, who bad taken off
his clothing in the street, declaring that he stood m no
need of garments, as everybody must know him to be
‘‘Adam, the father of mankind.” Had the occurrence
happened in ourcity, he would no doubt hare been has
tened to the fashionable Tailoring Establishment of R.
P. M. Estrada. No. SI South Seventh street, where our
friend Hobson” would soon have made all things
right.
The Last Victim.—That burning fluid is a
tery excellent thing In its way, we will all Admit.
Hut that its way is iuto the domestic circle, tha
contemplation of the long list of its victims pre
vents us from saying. We full hope
of seeing it banished from every household in the
city and the land—and we do so with just such
feelings as we entertain when applauding the
slayer of a rattlesnake, a mad bull, or a tiger at
large in the highway Every victim to its use only
hastens, in n melancholy manner, the gwd time
coming when we can chronicle its banishment.
Not the last nor the least argument in faror of thi*
consummation will be found in the fact that about
seven o'clock last evening. >Fxd. CJark. a lari of
three years of age, residing on Crease street, near
Girard avenue, was so badly burned by the explo
sion of a fluid-lamp that he cannot recover. He was
token to the hospital, differing terrible agony.
