The Nicoisou in Allegheny.—There is
soma talk among residents on the line of
Qnio street, in ,the Eighth ward, Alle
gheny, of having the Nicolson pavement
laid in • front of their- properties. The
street will be paved Meat spring and the
water and gas .eittended along the thor
oughfare. The street would:require but
little grading, and it is thought that the
small addliloaal cost of the, Nicolson :
overthevaible stone pavement would
be trifling compared with, theadvantaget
of the former. r '

ease which has attended their efforts the
beet evidences are seen in the large
trade which they have already secured,
and the terms of commendation and
praise with which their manufactures
are everywhere spoken of. Any of our

Choice Segars.
Since the law-makers for the National
Government have decided it essential,
in order to raise sufficient revenue, to
impose a tax on tobacco, which is very
properly considered a "luxury," it has
been with the greatest difficulty that
those accustomed to indulge in the luxu
ry of smoking could find an article of
segars, at any price, which would com
pare in quality of flavor with what they
Ibrmerly used. That difficulty has been
obviated, and smokers can now, by call
ing at No. 45 Hand street, John Me
gratv's, obtain the very best article of
segars at the most reasonable prices: - He
alsokeeps a full stock of the best brands
efehewing tobacco, as well as a large as
sortment of pipes, segar tubes, Ate.

For some time past retail dealers in
liquors, especially proprietoin -of small
saloons, in and around the ti. , o cities,
have been much annoyed and hunted
down by parties claiming to be in the
interests of justice 'and law, while their
real object, if "actions speak ldnder than
words," is undoubtedly . blackmailing.
The particular point at which these pseu
do-law preservers aim is the abolishment
of the liquor traffic on Sunday. For this
purpose, a strict watch Is kept on the sa
loons, and every violator of the law is
pounced upon immediately; and com
pelled sometimes, and only sometimes, to
appear before a magistrate and pay the
penalty. The general rule, however, is
to levy a tads upon the unfortunate indi
vidual, which finds its way into the
pocket of the supposed watchful guardi
an of the law, who thereat er, as long as
;
the specie d tax fs promptly paid, as
sumes one of the /ma thictd, character
istics of ustice-Lthat of blindnes.s.

John Myer, , a resident of Birmingham,
was robbed of hie watch, pocket-book
containing ten dollars, and several arti
thes'of clothing in an alley in the rear of

depredators. -

Some time ago we called the attention
of the street authorities to the condition
of Second street, stating that unless cer
tain
repairs or alterations were made it
would become necessary to repave the
entire street from the Birmingham
bridge to l na summit. As an evidence
of the correctness of our conclusions at
. 1
that time, we refer to the present condi
tion of the street, which, between the
points named, is so badly torn up as to
necessitate the repaving of the street en
tire to put it in proper condition.
It is asserted by a "citizen" that the
work was poorly done in the begginning;
that the large cobble stones from thegnt
ters on Fifth avenue and Wood street,
4 7
taken up to be replac dby Nicolson pave
ment, were used n p ving Second
street, and that the and I which they
' were imbedded was wet. Others con
tend, on the contrary, that the work was
properly done arid the cause of the diffi
culty is the spouty nature of the ground,
in consequence of which the road is con
tinually damp. With these matters,
however, we have nothing to do now.
The fact that the street was paved and
taken off the contractor's hands, by the
proper officers, is sufficient evidence that
the work was properly done, but it was
no evidence of its durability. There is . a
very large amount of travel upon the
street, and of a very heavy characte4
which will In some measure account for
its bad condition, and is at the same time
a good reason why it should be put in
proper repair. It would be an excellent
place to test the qualities of the Nicolson.

A Certain Sign
It is a good index of the prosperity of
any business house that may be com
pelled, for want of proper accommoda
tion for the transaction of the trade
directed thereto, to abandon old es
tablished quarters for' new ones more
expensive and more commodious. It is
a sign that the •house has a solid basis,
and on 'merit alone rushes ahead of
slower neighbors. As an evidence of
this fact it is but necessary here to cite
the rapid growth into popularity — and de
mand of the Weed Sowing Machine,
which was only a few years ago intro
duced into this market for public favor.
Its high merits were soon discovered by
the discriminating public, and from
year to year the sales became larger and
larger, till the enterprising agents,
Messrs. Long dr. Harvison, were corn
pelled to seek more extensive quarters
for their business. The stand on Grant
street, so long identified with the
machine, had to be abandoned,
and to-day the firm is located
in ono of the largest and handsomest
stores of the city, No. 116 Market street.
The building has been remodeled I
throughout, and in point of elegance and
completeness Is unsurpassed. The front,
which is supplied with mammoth plate
glasti panes reaching from the ceiling of
the first floor to the ground, faces St.
Clair street, commanding a fine view
across the bridge and into, the heart of
Allegheny City, and can be seen from
every point of approach, being decidedly
elegant and conspicuous. . The main
salesroom is richly furnished and car
peted, and contains a line assortment of
the various styles of the famous Weed
machines. The second floor is also oc
cupied as a salesroom and for exhibition
and storage. In the mammoth windows
are placed specimens of the • sewing of
t the “Weed,' which arrest the attention
,and challenge the heartiest admiration
la all who pass that way, especially
the ladies, who are most interested. We
are glad to observe this fresh evidence of
the continued popularity of the Weed
Sewing Machine, and trust it may ever
enjoy the proud position to which en:
titled from 10anerits.
- I Immense Forced SaleS.
The well known firm of Smithson t-
Co., AuCtioneers, 55 and 57 Fifth avenue,
seem determined that their reputation
for doing business shall not suffer, judg:
ing from the announcement of the im
mense stock of boots and, shoes which
they are now disposing of at low prices.
ThelitoCk is-principally from banki apt
and Sheriff's sales in the East, and must
bo closed out at once. The stock em
braces levery style of ladies, misses,
gents - and boys' boots,
shoes and gaiters,
all manufactured in the best manner of
excellent mater ial. Country dealers
who desire to replenish their stock, as
well as retail purchasers, should not
fail to call, as rare bargains may be se
cured.
A Disiiniutshed llicthodlstMinisterand
prominent Temperance Leetureronce re
marked that go where he would, from
one end of the country to the other, he
hardly over failed to find Plantation Bit
ters, and while li e condemned the prac
tide of using the Bitters too freely, he
could not conscientiously say that he
would ;discard them front the side-board,
for he' himself had experienced bene
ficial froth their fuse, and that,
from a long and close obse'rration, he
was convinced that when used moder
ately; and as a medicine exclusively,
they were all that was recommended.
"At the Saida tithe he warned his heafere
not tepull the cork too often, for they
were far too pleasant atonic to trifle with.
