There are some menwho see4i to think and act on the principal that roguery is essential to success. 9n6 - of this charm ter (a native . of anotr locality we are glad to know) appeared in our city yes terday, but left ins few hours. It seems he came from Louisville, Kentucky, where he had purchased a lot of cattle. In that city he employed a . bpy, about fifteen years of age, son of a 'widow, to accompany him' to Pittsburgh with the drove, agreeing to pay him a certain amount for the trip besidesell the ex penses of coming and returning. When Pittiburgh was reached, the boy, accord ing to agreement, expressed his intention of going, and asked for the amount due bim. Instead of settling it, however, he was gruffly dismissed with the advice to find his way home as he liked. The drover then disappeared in a train east. ward bound, and left the boy without a cent of money, in a strange city, not one of whose inhabitants he knew. After wandering around for some time, the lit- - tle fellow brought np- at the Mayor's office and -related his story, giving his name as Robert Abrams. The - Mayor, feeling confident of the truthfulness 'the statement, kindly took charge of him; until he could be sent back to Louisville. . A New Presbyterian Project. There has long been a feeling among the general Jai:Oily of the Presbyterians; of this vicinity, that they ought tO sink minor differences and unite in , an enter prise for the education of their daugh: ters, worthyof Presbyterian intelligence, wealth and liberality. ' We see by an ad dress issued in the Presbyterian Banner, of this week, that the church .0 Shady Side, through their , pastor, Rev, W. T. Beatty, is offering twenty thousand dol lars towards the hundred thonsand they deem necessary, their offer being • condi tioned on the location of the institution in their vicinity. When we consider what this young church has already done In the way of construction and organized parochial effort, we regard this as very hopeful for a first bid. We only hope that we slat hear promptly from other quarters, each church stating how much will be glveh In case the question of lo &Hon be decided adversely to its claim. The Shady Side prospectus is, as regards the unsectarlan character of the teach ings to be given ' liberal enough. Tne Methodists and Episcopalians of Pitts burgh have, in this regard, set their, Presbyterian friends a good example. Where so much turns upon our °hosing, let us have a wide range of choice. • , Something of Interest To those contemplating investing in Real estate.

This may be considered a technical violatiod, but it hat; been shown that the distillery. In - all its operations, has been conducted- with rather more than usual honesty. Thefe is no charge that one gallon of whisky ever :went out of the establishment without the full payment of taxes. It: is shown by the predominitnee of testimony, if Mr. Fow ler himself is a credible witness, that as swaps he hepame aware of thepmis slon in regard to the tubs, he supplied new ones. , "It Ethic appears," said the judge, "that the operations of the distillery were, carried• on, to some.extent, under the supervision of those conceoted with the Revenue Department.

Mr. Dunn said he was engaged in.the produce business in Allegheny. A bargain was boon struck, and the potatoes hauled avray.

If so, a new appointment knight be made with advantage. It is proposed, we un derstand, to hold a meeting, possibly next week, when if the, paper is not forth coming, the Association will proceed with the work under the old organization. The whole matter has dragged its weary length along, ; about enough now. Let us have the Monument somewhere and without further delay. Unrivaled. The reputatlim of Pittsburgh restau rants and dining saloons is equal to that of any ,city in the ,United Statea, not alone on account of our excellent Market facilities, but because we have a few''es tablishments in thi3 city, the proprietors of which take a special pride in their business and endeavor to conduct it in such a manner as receives the approval of their patrons; and the others, if they desire to dolt. living business, must ap proximate tri something near the standard established by these men. Our friend Holtzheimer, of the Continental, Fifth avenue,: next door, to the - Tostoftice, is one of the leading spirits in the business, and the Continental is the leading eatab lishment.

Professor Chandler analytical dentist to the New York Borird, has been testityr some specimets of illuminating oils in order to ascertain the explosive qualities. F.l.eventeen samples were obtained frOm the same number of stores, of whichseven were found to consist of benzine quid naphtha sold under special names. This benzine is the most dangerous substance that can be employed in a dwelling, and has been the cause of all the frightful ac cidents, either when used by itself or as an impurity in keroiene. Various pro. ceases for rendering benzine and naphtha non-explosive have been patented, and rights of sale have been disposed of throughout ,the country.' According to Professor Chandler, it is impossible by any means whatsoever to render these substances safe. The addition of a few grains of alum, potash, borax alcohol, gum camphor, etc.,to a barrel Of benzine, does not change its dangerous character in the least. The experiment of pouring a little of the fluid into a bottle and ap plying a burning match, is no proof whatever; for to produce an explosion it is necessary to secure a certain ratio of air to benzine vapor, which it would 'not be possible to do in a bottle once in fitly times. Every oil that can be lighted with a match is unsafe for use. The various "patent safety lamps" which are warranted for the use of any oil (even benzine), are prondunced by the chemist to be wholly unreliable. Benzine and dangerous kerosene, he insists, are always unsafe, no matter - what lamp may be used. One lamp may be a little safer than another, when in perfect order, but lamps will break, the oil will be spilled some times, accidents will happen, and the oil or its vapor will be brought in contact with the flame, when, if the oil is not safe, an accident is sure to result. One half of the so-called "safety lamps" are no safer than others, while the'remainder are Safe only as long as they are subject to no carelessness in tilling or handling. What is needed to preventherosene acci dents is safe oil; with it all lamps will' be safe. The remaining samples were aver age specimens of the kerosone oil usually sold in retail stores. They all contained more or less benzine, and consequently were dangerous in the same ratio.
