Though thus truLsui may uot alwaj'g be can

The case of our neighbor of the Democrat is
U marked one. The efforts of his numerous
certifiers in the sympathetic way, which he
published last wee k, arid of which he had so
liluny more on hand for publication this
week and possibly next, have had a wonder
ful effect in rubbing out the soreness occa
sioned by the havingof a coat pulled off at him
and in restoring him to those amenities which
he had about made up his mind he had lost
And what is still more remarkable is the fact
that these efforts of his friends have struck
clean through him and touched even us, so
that we too are constrained to feel glad with
him, and to joy with him over his relief from
his disasrccable dilemma. We, sound the

his appeal to the masses to stand by the

SCRAXTO. LETTER.
Correspondence of the Jeffersonian.
Scranton, Pa., March 24th, 1874.
Dear Jeff. Besides the rapidity of its
growth and developcment and the excellence
of the newepaperu, there is much in Scranton
that is worty of note. Not the least of these ita
belongings are the business and social charac
teristics of iu inhabitant. Made up as its
population is of representatives of nearly every
country under the sun, one would naturally
suppose that clanishness would prove a pre
dominating feature, and so it does to a certain
extent We have our claims and castes and
stations in society, and we maintain them too
in spite of constitutional provisions and civi
rights bills; but we have a common ground to
which all come with cheerfulness and stand on
an equality and that is the ground or poin
from which we all start out in pursuit of the
"almighty dollar." In the race for this great
stake none of us are too high or too low, too
rich or loo poor to mingle. From the mam
moth corporation down to the pussy Teuton
or the red faced son of the Green Isle, who
lords it over the Lager Beer Saloon or the
more pestiferous Gin Mill, all start on the
level even if they do not come out on the
square. Trade, trade, trade is the watchword
of all, and to come out at the end with a com
pc-tence the aim of all. This is business, and
as business it is better understood in Scranton
than in any other place with which I am
acquainted. And the reason for thu is appar
cnt Every body comes here to make money
and there are therefore but few drones among
US.
Socially Scranton is different Your columns
would hardly afford room sufficient for even a
touch upon the symptoms which go to furnish
a complete diagnosis of Scrant-,n society. The
number of classes is alruot t beyond computa
tion nearly every body in the city consider
ing himself a little better than every body else
The amount of ' blue blood" coursing rampant
here is absolutely appalling. And yet all who
indulge pride over the possession of the pre
cious liquid do not at all times meet on a
common level. There is a difference in the
intensity of the blue you know, and quantity
docs not always indicate quality, and hence,
while there are occasions when all the blood
favored may come together, there are the
ordinarv run of times when the line of deruar
cation is most stringently drawn.
It is not confessed that the dollar marks the
class. The "ton" of the place affects literature
and general knowledge above the common run
and protest that the stepping-stones to upper
tendom are refined taste, gentle breeding as
consequent upon it, and the mental faculties
(as farmers would say it,) under the highest
6tate of cultivation. You are reminded of this
at every town and yet the shop holds predomi
nance, and "business" proves itself the best
studied theme in every conversation indulged.
Doubtless the theory is genuine for the class,
but the place of business arranged with the
greatest care, and ornamented in the most
pleasing manner to catch "the nimble six
pense" a3 it passes by, and the dwelling with
its palatial adjuncts and surroundings smacks
too stronglv of the "codfish" to induce belief
in the presence of the genuine whale.
The next best class of society here, taking
for granted that the class which I have just
described the best, (though no one is compelled
to admit this) I mean the class composed of
those who fail to see sense in arogating to them
selves a position of questionable standing to
say the least the small traders, mechauics
and laboring classes will compare favorably
with those of any other locality. Their row
may be a harder one to hoe than that of their
more favored fellow citizens, but they are not
a wit behind them in all that constitutes the
good citizen. Indeed taking them all in all, I
do not see but that they are measurably the
superior class in our community. The dollars
of the rich are a source of comfort, but it was
the skill of the mechanic, and the muscle of
the laboring man which thus far developed
and made available our hidden wealtl
Aristocracy and dollars, of themselves would
have left Scranton remain the Slocum hollow
of forty years ago, our coal miiiC3 unheard of
and our immense manufacturing establish
ments the fabulous creations of some crazy
visionary. It is some compensation to these
latter most useful classes that wealth is compel
led to appreciate their goodness and, in shape
of wages for labor to a degree at least, reward
their deservings.
Of that class known as the dregs of society
Scranton has its iull share. As these are
neither ornamental nor useful to the city, one
hardly sees why they are permitted to abide in
it. They are probably a necessity, however,
upon the supposition that it takes all kinds of
people to make a city, and our city of Scran
ton would not be so complete without them.
The parade on St Patricks day did not turn
out so grand an affair as was expected. The
Catholic clergy threw a damper over it because
of the desire of the Society of the Ancient
order of Hibernians to join in the parade.
This society, better known as the "Mollie
Maguires," is under the ban of the church and
even denied christian burial for unlawful
practices. The members are all Irsji Catholics,
and claim that they are vilely abused and
slandered and that they are associated under
the laws for mutual protection only. I do not
known how that may be, but I do know that
they are roundly denounced for such unlawful
indulgences as association, house burning and
other past times of like pleasant character,
Hardly a day passes but what some house is
marred by a notice pasted on it having a coffin
painted thereon and a written warning to the
occupant to leave within a given time, under
penalty of death. In consequence of the inter
ference of the priests we had parades The
Catholic Tentberance and Beneficial Societies
by themselves, and the "Mollies" by them
selves. The day closed with a goodly share of
drunkenness, some dozen or more street fights
and our lock-up filled to its utmost capacity.
The Presidential appointment of Joseph
A. Scranton for postmaster of this place, was
confirmed by the Senate a few day ago. Mr.
S. will enter upon the duties of his. office as
soon as his appointment arrives, possibly by
the 1st of April.
The chapter of accidents for the past week is
unusually short, and free from fatality.

Last Sunday evening while passing down
main street at rather a late hour, when
nealy in front of the residence of the hand
some and petite Miss. , we heard a
noise which sounded like a cow drawing her
hoof out of the mud, "smack." Judge of
our surprise, when we discovered that it was
only the "sugar-plum" herself and lover
kissing good-night at the gate. They must
have been studying the beauties of the
starry firmament above them, for vre had
proceeded but a few Bteps when she ecstati
cally exclaimed, "My stars Joe, (we will call
him Joe, for short,) but was'nt that sweet
In a few moments we returned. Again he
kissed her, when coquettish ly she said: "At
it again.'' Then she, with childlike simplicity
caught him around the neck, kissed him,
and in a "soft and silvery tone" wispered in
his ear but we heard her, "now aint we
having fun." The scene made us young
again, and we thought we, too, would like
to have a little "fun." The ladies think of
organizing a " praying band" "for the pur
pose of laying siege to "Tannery." A good
move in the right direction. Some of our
young ladies think small patches of black
court plaster artistically pasted on the cheek,
chin, or lip, adds to their beauty. Rut it b
not so, dear girls ; then there is danger of
the patches on the lips being transferred to
the lip of some Adonis who might venture
too close, which would " let the cat out of
the bag." No less than three ladies claim
the bustle found last week. "Angels and
ministers of grace," from the shades of
Academy hill defend us. "The old folks at
home," and " Wc shall meet on that Beau
tiful Shore," was sung in a very creditable
manner by the " brunette " and " blonde,"
last Sunday afternoon. With a little more
practice, the one that "clawed" the "ivor
ies," will make an excellent pianist A
large number of our " bloods " have invest
ed in immense finger rings. They are cheap
You can get them in prize packages. Only
ten cents. One adorns the delicate fist of
" Inkey." Two angels in disguise, serena
ded some of our residents a few evenings
since. "Music hath charms, &c," but it
won't capture him, girls. The fire laddies
are forming an association tq be known as
"The Crusaders." It is to be hoped they
will do much. good. The handsome and ac
complished " brunette," sojourning with a
friend in the classic regions of Loder's
school house, for some time past, contem
plates taking her departure in a few dajs.
During her visit she has made a host of
friends, all of which will deeply regret the
los3 of her society. If Madam Rumor in
forms us correctly, with her departure there
will be one or two of our young men who
will need the services of a " ministering an
gel " to heal the wounds inflicted by cupid's
arrow. Take a bottle or two of Mrs. Wins
low's soothing syrup, boys, and you will
soon be all right. We wish the fair one a
bon voyage. Scene Engine house. Time
Tuesday morning, thermometer ten degrees
below zero, no fire, no coal. "Tannery,"
"good-natured John" and "Oofty Gooft,"
hold a council to devise means for procuring
enough coal to build a fire at which they can
toast their shins And indulge in a no, read
a few chapters. "Tannery" skirmishes, is
successful, and they have a pleasant time
discussing the' merits of hearts, diamonds,
spades and clubs. Officer Keener made his
appearance (but not in full uniform) last
Saturday when the Phoenix Fire Company
were trying their "mochine," Had there
been a drunken row he would no doubt have

Every one has observed that dogs, be
fore they lie down, tarn themselvas round
and round several times. Those who
have had an opportunity of witnessing
the actions of animals in a wild state.
know that they seek long grass for their
beds, which they beat down and render
more commodious by turning round in it
several times. It would appear, there
fore, that tha habit of our domestic dogs
in this respect is derived from the nature
of the same species in the wild state.
This is a curieus fact, and seems to prove
how much the instinctive habit of wild
animals are retained by their domesti
cated progeny.

It has long been known that the simp
lest method of sharpening a razor is to
put it far half an hour in water to which
has been added one twentieth of its
weight of muriatic or sulphuric acid, then
lightly wipe it off, and and after a few
hours set it on a hone. The acid here
supplies the place of a whetstone by cor
roding the whole surface uniformly, so
that nothing further than a smooth polish
is necessary. The process never injures
good blades, while badly-hardened ones
are frequently improved by it, although
the cause of this improvement remains
unexplaiued.
