The Pirate's Legacy Is the title of a
novel recently written by our esteemed
fellow-towsman, Professor Rudolph
Leonhardt, of the Western University.
The Professor is no novice in the paths
of fiction, as the many readers of his
former books, both in English and Ger
man, can testify, and this last is said to
be much the best of his works. It is not
a sensation story, as, from its title, some
might be led to believe, but a simple,
picturesque tale of high and low 'life
in America and Italy. The story was
written in English, but its accomplished
author has translated it into German and
sold the translation. The English edition
'will be sold by subscription' only, and
Parties wishing to procure adinteresting
work by a well known fellow-citizen, can
find the subscription list at the book
store of the Messrs. Backofen, on Smith

Last evening Barclay and Kennedy,
two of the parties charged with aggra
vated assault and battery upon Jacob
Slant; a saloon keeper in Pleasant Val
ley, Second ward, Allegheny, had a
hearing before Mayor Drum. It will be,
remembered, that the parties on last_
Monday afternoon are said to have enter
ed the saloon, raised ar row with the pro
prietor, were put out; came again and
'beat him in a terrible manner. At one
time it was feared that Slentz's injuries
would prove fatal,.but he has somewhat
recovered, and was able to be present at
the hearing. A number of witnesses
were examined, 'and at the conclusion
the parties were held for trial.
Almoit an Accident.
Yesterday afternoon a colored man,
driving a cart and hauling dirt from the
sower on Diamond *Hey, was backing
his cart up to an exciv,ation for a sewer
drop, at the corner of. Smithfield and
D' cad streets, in which two sons of
the "Emerald Isle" were at work, and
not having the necessary atop blocks the
cart dropped in upon them._ One of
was slightly bruised on the top c f the
head, and the other (+Soaped uninjured.
The latter immediately jumped out of
the excavation and "went" for the color
ed man, who was using his utmost en
deavors to get the cart ont of the excava
tion. Owing to the attack, however,
ho was compelled to suspend operations,
and the poor fellow in the drop under
the cart was compelled to remain there
until his brother workman had chas
tised the negro. After a few cuffs and .
kicks, which the poor fellow quietly
submitted to, the cart was removed, and
the man who was under it wanted ,to
fdither chastise the negro for not extri
cating him sooner. He was preyented,
however, by an explanation.

Resumed the consideration of the sub
ject of Union.
Rev. J. K. Martin's substitute to take
up the report item by item was discussed.
The following is the basis of union
proposed :
WHEREAS, An organic union between i
the General Assembly of the United
Presbyterian Church and the General
Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church is most desirable and of the ut
most importance to the maintenance and
more general diffusion of the principles
which they hold in common; and _
WHEREAS, The respective testimony
of these churches are substantially the
same, if not identical; and
WHEREAS, The testimony of the
United Presbyterian Church - was framed

Church was represented, when it was
unanimously agreed in convention,
that
in the event of a union the united body
Shall be ,known by the name of the .
United Presbyterian Church; and 2
WHEREAS, This name contains noth
ing peculiar to either of these churches;
therefore,
Resolved, 1. That these churches agree
to form an organic union on the basis of
the principles embraced in these respec
tive testimonies and the other subordi
nate standards which they hold in com
mon.
Rewired, 2. That these-churches-when
united shall be called the United Pres

churches shall not be affected by this
union, but shalt have control of their

less approve of the conduct of the Com
mittee in so far as it did its best in the
Convention,—that negotiations be con
tinued. and a committee be appointed to
carry out the will of Synod. Not enter
tained.
Rev. J. S. Scott moved that the consid
eration of Mr. Martin's substitute be in
definitely postponed.'
The Moderator decided that this mo
tion,' if carried, would dismiss the con
sideration of the whole subject of Union.

Committee be continued, or a new one
appointed.'
Rev. S. F. Morton said the Committee
had labored hard and faithfully. He
was in favor of the Committee going on
and finishing its work, and then the
Synod could adopt,or reject the basis.
Dr. Steele had some difficulty in regard
to the word "approve," as used in rela
tion to the Committee. He would not
trammel the Committee at all.

. State and County Taxes
Although the County Treasurer has
been ready to receive the taxes since the
first of the month, comparatively few
persons have called to settle their ac
counts and save the per centage. To
many persons engaged in business, who
have;a large amount of tax to pay, it is
quite an object to• use the money until
the list day of grace; but there are hun
dreds of persons who have the amount
lying-idle, who 'would find it much to
t heir own convenience, and might greatly
facilitate business in the Treasurer's
Office, to pay at once. The present office
of the treasury is entirely too small for
the business, there not being sufficient
counter room to lay out all . the dupli
cates', and consequently when the rush
comes in June and July, the incon
venience of paying will be much greater
than; in former years, before there were
so. many districts and taxpayers. All
those' who can, should step up to the
office before the jam commences, where
theylwill find the Treasurer and a full
corps of competent clerks to wait on
them.
A Superb Specimen.
Mr. W. W. Wallace has just finished
at his establishment, Nos. 319 and 321
Liberty street one of the most superb
specimens of marbleized marble mantles
ever made in the country. The marble
izing is in imitation of the Syracone, the
most rare and valueable marble found in
South America, and the workmanship is
of such a perfect character that the im
itatiOn can not be detected from the real
article, except by the most critical inspec
tion.), The blending of the various rich
colors of blue and gold and crinison, has
been accomplished with such remarkable
fidelity to, nature, that the slabs of which
the mantle is composed, seem to the eye
as though just cut from the quarry and
highly polished. It is on exhibition at
the warerooms on Liberty street, where
all our readers, so desiring, can have an
oppo,rtunity for a few days to examine it.
Books for the Million.
Col. J. D. Egan, at the popular and well
stocked book and stationery store on
Sixth avenue, near Smithfield' street, is
prepared to supply the wants of all who
are ib need, of books of any and every
descpption at prices which defy compe
titiou. His stock comprises all the late
publications and old standard works,
texts books for schools, Sunday school

of second hand books, in -which are
many rare and . valuable works from
standard authors, which he is selling at
remarkably low prices. On his. counter
will also be found all the late magazines
and !periodicals and a lull stock of sta
tionery.
