The Duty of Confutable4.
At the recent session of the Court of
Quarter Sessions of Lancaster county,
Judge Livingston gave the following in
structions to the constables of the county,
and as the law is precisely the same for
Columbia county, it would be well for the
constables here to read them : "While the
office of constable 18 not a lucrative one, it
is one of honor and responsibility. In
some of the better districts of the county
better officers have been elected, but in
others there is room for improvement.
A constable should be temperate and even
tempered, and see that the laws are faith
fully executed without fear, favor or af
fection. If the duties are not properly
performed, constables are recreant to and
violate the trust reposed in them. It is
the duty of constables to see that the polls
aiekept open so that citizens may exer
cise their right of voting. As to the viola
tion of the liquor law they may come
before the court by remonstrance of citi
zens of the district by information, by the
knowledge of the constable himself, or by
complaint of a citizen made before a jus
tice. The rule is rather to shield and aid
the liquor sellers than to assist the officers
to bring any violaters to justice. The
constables must look after violators of the
liquor law single handed. The consta
bles during the last year, with one or two
exceptions, under their solemn oaths,
made their return to this court that there
were no violations of the liquor law in
their respective districts. Constables who
fail in their duty in returning those
who violate the liquor law are liable
to a fine and imprisonment and to be pros
ecuted for perjury. It is the duty of the
constable to visit all places where vinous,
malt or spirituous liquors are sold, and the
constables will remember that the law re
quires them to enter such places as con
stables, and that law must be obeyed.

Antiquated jewelry is all the rage some
thing in your grandmother's mother's
aunt's line, of which there were only two
aarticles made, the other being in the Brit
ish Museum. This antiquated jewelry is
made to order just the same as furniture
originally in the possession of Mary Queen
of Scots.
A Mother's Influence. There is a
great deal of homely truth in the following :
It is hard for some mothers to realize the
influence they exert over their little ones.
They are constantly surrounded by critical
imitators, who copy her morals and man
ners. As the mother is, so are the sons
and daughters. If a family of children is
blessed with an intelligent mother, who is
dainty and refined in her manners, and
does . not consider it necessary to be one
person in the drawing room and an entire-
ly different person in her every-day life,
but who is a true mother, always a tender,
charming woman, you will invariably see
her habits of speech and perfect ; manners
repeated in her children. Great, rough
men, and noisy, busy boys will always
tone their voices, and step quietlj-, and try
to be more mannerly when she stops to
give them a kind word or a pleasant smile.
The mother of to-day rules the world tomorrow.
Vorth-ClaM:MaIl Matter.
The General Superintendent of the Rail
way Mail Service has made complaint that
samples of fertilizers, paints, powders and
other unmailable articles are being sent
through the mails from many of the post
offices in violation of the regulations. The
following is a list of matter that may be
sent, as fourth-class, through the mails :
envelopes with printing thereon, in quan
tity, blank bills and letterheads, blank
cards, cardboard and other flexible mate
rial, flexible patterns, letter envelopes and
letter paper without printing thereon,
merchandise, models, ornamented paper,
sample cards, samples of ores, metals,
minerals, seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots,
scions, original paintings in oils, or water
colors, and other matter which is not in
cluded in first, second or third classes and
is not in its form or nature liable to destroy
deface or damage the contents of the mail
bag or harm the person of one engaged in
the postal service. The postage on such
matter is at the rate of one cent for each
ounce or fraction thereof. Fourth-class
matter may be registered at an expense of
ten cents in addition to the regular pos
tage.
It is a common practice with middle- .
aged people to sigh for the return of the
good old times "when things were what
they seemed" those times when silk goods
were not clever mixtures of linen and jute
stiffened up with gum to give them weight
and lustre, but were honest throughout in
woof and web ; when stockings sold as
regular-made were as represented and not
found on examination to be overseamed by .
hand instead of woven into shape in looms,
as by right they should be. Thus through
out the whole catalogue of "store," the'
querulous and unreasoning make totally
erroneous assertions as to the superiority
of the old over the new.
The truth is that at no period of the
world's history have all sorts of dry goods
been so superb as to quality or so moder
ate as to price as they are in this, our day
and generation. A moments thought will
convince all reasoning people that ;in con
sequence of the increased production of
raw material and the improved system of
manufacture the result must be a better
class of goods and lower prices than could
have been offered with the limited supplies
and inefficient methods of a quarter or a
half rentnrj ago.
With a resident buyer in Paris and others
in all the great marts of trade throughout
the civilized world, what wonder that Mr.
Wanamaker can offer for sale at incredibly
low prices the choicest products of the
looms of L-ons, Berlin. Belfast, Manches
ter and Nottingham ; chosen as experts in
the class of goods they are commissioned
to purchase, every agent sent abroad by
Mr. Wanamaker knows just what style
and price of goods are most desirable, and
is fully posted as to where these can be ob
tained in the best qualities and at the most
advantageous ;rates for the house they rep
resent and the customers thereof.
With this understanding of his une
qualed fac'rlities for procuring and keeping
up a full stock of fine imported and domes
tic goods, our readers will turn with fresh
interest to Mr. Wanamaker's advertise
ment in this issue and see the values
offered in fine French dress goods, silks,
hosiery, lace curtains and furniture cover
ings gentlemen's underwear, dress trim
mings, buttons, milinery goods, trimmed
and utrimmed hats and shoes of all makes,
styles and qualities, and last but by no
means least, the magnificent assortment
of all-silk-Lyons-Grenadiucs that will be
sold at half the cost of importation.
If our readers be as intelligent as we
believe them to be they will lose no time
in availing themselves of the unexampled
bargain now to be had at Wanamaker's.
