FRIDAY, June 4.—The argument list
was resumed and occupied the attention
of the Court during the session.
Turned Adrift.
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. • ,

Judge Leavitt, yesterdaymorning,
rendered a decision in the '
case of the
Government against ,pne .hundred and
seventy barrels of whisky, claimed by
S. N, Vowler t 'of this city., He said: "As
the case now stands, there is really no
groped upon which the forfeiture of the
whisky can be sustained. The only evi
dence before the Court is, :as to the fail
ure of Fowler to :let the tubs stand
empty lot-twentY-four hours, as required
by the law. 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. The Assessor
himself was-fully apprised of She manner
in which' the businesti `was conducted.
It la olearthere never was any fraud in
tended, and as the Government has lost
nothing, cannot reconcile it with, my
duty or opnicierice to render a decree of
forfeiturd against this property; and if I
did so, the claimant would, have thO
right to apply to. the Revenue Departi.
went for a remission of the forfeiture,
which it has the power to grant. Judg
ment is, therefore, rendered in favor of
the claimant."

The Eastern companies require you to

The Co•operative does not require pap:

the surplus at home and -makes actual
loans to its policy holders..
Eastern companies make you con

you the word of the agent that your 'divi

"city yesterday on, a flatboat. , The craft
had • hardly touched the wharf, (se be

young man of buslmiss appearance, who
quickly introduced \ himself as James
Dunn, son of a prominent citizen in
Beaver, well known to the farmer. Mr.
Dunn said he was engaged in.the produce
business in Allegheny. A bargain was
boon struck, and the potatoes hauled
avray. Mr. Dozed saw the last of them
disappear, and in a reasonable time after
wards started for the mythical produce
establishment to collect his bill. He
failed. to discover it, but did digeover
that the potatoes'had been sold in Alle

The Monument.
, .
We have been informed that the delay
in the basiaegia touching the 'Soldiers'
Monument Is;occasioned by the failure
thus far to receive' the charter incorpo
rating the Association. Theehaiter was
granted by the last LegislatUre, Several
months ago, and received the officialkdg
nature, but as yet has never been 'sent
here. We believe a committee • was ap
pointed at a meeting of the Association
held in March last; to attend to the Mat
ter. Perhaps-they have forgotten 'their
duty by the press of other business. 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.
Cheap Goods.
It is the pri v ilege of consumers, and in
fact a duty,ids°, to purchase goods
wherever th , e , -
can be , boughtthe cheap
est; but when we speak of cheap goods,
we do not mean, as is commonly under
stood by the expression, goods of an in.
ferior article, *Mott are sold at low rates,
because it is not always the goods
bought for the , least money that
are the cheeped; but buy where yon can,
get the best article for the least money.
The establishment of W. W. Moorhead,
No. 81 Market:street, is constantly sup
plied with a fun stock of lace goods,
hosiery, gloves, and trimmings of the
very best quality, and the proprrtor will
not permit any establishment in the city
to undersell him. '

lLailes Attention! Price Reduced.
We are pleased , to be able to inform
our readers this morning that the prices
of dry goods—at least of a very desirable
class of dry goods—have been reduced.
Reduction of prices is never initiated
save in a first-class house—an enterpris:
lig house—a house where the sales are
so large that reductio# can be afforded,
and the proprietors so judicious as to
give their customers the very best bar
gains attainable: In the present instance
it is the poPularfirm of Bates dc Bell, 21
Fifth avenue, which relieves the pur
chasing public. Messrs. Bates (It Bell
have lowered their rates on many of their
most attractive dress goods fully 25 per
cent. They are now receiving a large
and very full stock of the finest fabrics
of every description, which, while per
haps excelling any heretofore exhibited,
can be bought at extremely moderate
figures. To day we invite special atten
tion to a beautiful assortment of Ameri
can made Lenos, or wash poplins which
are warranted to retain all their colors
and wear In the most satisfactory man
lier. Some. of these excellent goods,
suitable for children's dresses, are sell
ing at twenty-five cents, per yard, while
very attractive English Lenos are , sell
ing at" the same rate. In fabrics - for
stiltstiessrs.l3ates &Bell offer particu
lar indimeMente. ' They have them plain,
mottled, striped and figured in every
variety.' Grenadines with black ground
forma handisOmefeatare of this
All varieties mid colors of alpac
as are on hand, to which, however, we
needim more than allude toots every lady
knows 21 Fifth avenue to be the store
par exceigenee for — alpaeae. Of silks
there is a fresh mid very superior
assortment, comprising American black
and foreign silks, Japanese, silks of all
patterns and colors, (the best selection
in the city,) and the choicest evening ,
silks of every shade. In writing of the
alpacas it may be proper to state that the
three most popular makes, the "Buffalo,"
- "Grand Duchess" and "Dragon," are on
hand—the second) of which is new and
superior to anything heretofore offered.
Need we say to orir lady readers where
they can buy the best and finest goods
at the lowest prices at all times? Scarcely;
if they have seen the new stock, at 21
Fifth avenue, they know why we should
direct them there.

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.
