'TlIlI SUNDAY LIQUOR Law—Tm: BIG DRY
GOODS SALE—POLITICAL—A DOUBLE
IIOLIDliv—Cmmnnxs’ DAY—CTITICISM
——A.v OLD PLAY RavIvIID.
NEW YORK, June 4th, 1876.
THE SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW.
There is in the State, somewhere, a law
forbidding the sale of intoxicating drinks on
a Sunday, but, so far as cnforcsing it -is
concerned, it might as, well not be. Occa-
sionally efforts have been made to control
the salc,.in a sort of spasmodic way, but they
never amounted to much, and the business
has flourished as briskly on Sunday as any
other day. Last week the Police Commis.
sioners and the Excise Board determined- to
stop it entirely. They instructed'the police
to arrest, peremptorily, every liquor dealer
whose shop. they found open, showingno
mercy. There was excitement among the
Germans. The Irish and Americans who
drink whisky did not care so much, for a
quart-bottle could be easily carried home the
night before, but lager beer is, I am told,
only good when drawn from the cask, and.
that one can't carry :rhOme.‘ They appealed
to the authorities, but in vain. It was ‘decid‘;
ed that the law be enforced,and so the police
were instructed to. arrest every seller, ‘On the.
pain Of dismissal. And they did it. Over
four hundred who refused to recognize the
law were taken in and the penalties were
applied remorselcssly. There was a terrible
excitement in the city, and public opinion
was divided as to the propriety of the action.
The Germans claim that they are a quiet,
law-abiding people ; that they work hard all
the week, that Sunday is the only day they
have for recreation and rest, and that beer
and wine, which to them is harmless, is es-
sential to their comfort. They hold that it
is and has always been their custon, that to
deprive them of it is an unjustifiable invasion
of their liberties, and that as they don't in-
tcrferc with any onc's ideas they ought to be
allowed their pleasures in their own way,
without molestation. So much for their ideas,
of it. On the other hand, the American
Christians insist that this country is and must
be Cliristian, that the Sabbath is a purely
American institution, and that the Germans
have no rigllt to infringe it in any way.
I. do wish, however, that I _could say that
the effort was made in any good spirit. It
was not.‘ The law was ”originally the work
of temperance republicans, and its enforce-
ment at this time was intended to inflame
the Germans against that party. “The law.
is a law,” say the Commissioners, “we did
not make it, nor would we, but as it is a law
it must be enforced till it is repealed.”_ And
then another purpose was served. _ The lines
collectedwill go along way toward sending
a Tilden crowd, or bowlers for Tilden. to St.
Louis, and create a fund generally to help
carry the State of New York next fall.
There is a great deal of hardship inflicted
which was not to be justified. One old Ger-
man who keeps a very decent shop in the
Bowery said, “Dot law is hard, but Off it be
a lawI will stick to ’cm. No beer to-mor~
row," and he refused to sell a drop till night,
when, supposing that the legal Sunday was
over, be tapped a keg. In came a man who
called for a glass, paid for it, and drank it,
and then Opening his coat displayed his star,
and took the old man tothe station, where he
was compelled to stay all night and pay a
swinging fine in the morning. Of the arrested
not one in ten knew of the" intended action
of the board, and were as innocent as possi-
blc of any intention to disobey the law. It
is a mighty nice question, and trouble will
grow out of it. '
TIIE nio DRY GOODS sans.
The big sale of domestic dry goods that
took place last week, accomplished all that
was intended by it. ' There‘weae goods to the
amount of $1,260,000 Sold, slid the prices
rlbtained were fairly satisfactory: The ob-
ject was to test the disposition of merchants
to buy—to determine whether the bottom
had really dropped out or not, that manufact-
urers and their agents might make some cal-
culation on the future. Of course Stewart,
Claflin, and the heavy merchants were the
heaviest biiyers, but there was an excellent
representation from outside, and the outside
jobbers were the quickest and most earnest
purchasers. Although the sale was counted
8 success, and increased confidence was the
result, New York feels better 'now, for the
event has stirred the sluggish waters, and
there is hope that from this time things will
look better. There are fewer failures this
week than heretofore, and I may say that
there is a slight improvement in business.
POLITICAL.
Western Democrats v. .113 0 watch their
delegations very closely. Tildenhas'a bureau
at Washington with oceans T‘of' money, who
are buying up delegates at so much a head,
and paying for them in good hard cash.
There are gorgeous headquarters at the Arl-
ington, and iiito those‘Jmadquarters the
country delegate is plied with every influence
known to politics, from so much money to a
foreigh mission, as the price of supporting
‘ royal salute was fired from the Cunardcrs,
- children to represent George ‘and Martha
roacklcs, hoots, ' dances
“Iloiicst'Sammy.” Look out, Democrats of
the. West! Tilden hasalong purse and so
have his backers iu the city. They will beat
you, sure, if youare not very much incarn-
c'st. _ _ . , ' ' ~ '
'On‘tlie ‘chublican side, Dristow, Hayes,
Blaine and Morton seem to be about cvrn.
Conkling has lost since the change in the
Cabinctindicatcs that, the official power of
the Administration is to be thrown to him_
=Mortoni'ls gaining, end so is Blaine very
rapidly, Hayes is getting on fairly well, and
Bristow is developing wonderful strength.
Of course this is among the people—the
politicians have other motives and will throw
their strength where it will pay. best. Polit-
iCal feclingis getting up, and the clubs are
very warm. The Times, the most influen-
tial of the Republican papers of the city,
is opposing Conkling vigorously, as is Har-
per's Weekly, and it is doubtful, if, in face of
such opposition, the delegation will feel like
pressing him beyond the ordinary complimen-
tary ballots._,nBut who can tell ? Witha good
candidate New? York can be carried fOr - the
Republican party.
A DOUBLE HOLIDAY.
Wednesday, the 24th, was a gala day on
IDIII sides of the river. As if in honor of
the festiiali, the day was true Centennial
weather, Queen's weather, the English called'
it, aclearer and more spring-like, day than
has been vouchsafcd thisvscason. The North
river was ga ' with hundreds of flags, for all
the British vessels hung out their colors in-
honor of the Queen's birthday—her proudest,
for the first time it hailed her Empress of
India, Empress as well as Queen. Whatever
the taste of adding thus to her title, doubt-
less it pleases her by placing her on a rank
with any sovereign Of the Continent, a place
to which the relations of the throne to the
imperial houses of Russia and Germany
gives fresh value in‘lier eyes. The Cunard
docks are in the North river, and at noon a
‘r
and all good Englishmen went wild with by
alty at the sound. I '

On the shores Of the East river the (lay
worcanother significance. It was what is
knoWn as Children’s Day in Brooklyn, the
yearly May festival of all Sunday-schools.
The turn out this year was brighter than
ever, the presence of‘ the General Assembly
in Brooklyn adding zest, if that were possible
to the occasion. Truth to say, the children
did not feel it half as much a compliment
that a grave and reverened body of clergy-
mcu should formally or informally suspend
its business to see their celebration, as the
ministers did to be asked to attend the gay
parade. There is little in the procession to
suggest that it has any relation to religious
work, for the thousands of highly-dressed
children with banners, emblems, allegorical
representations looked as muchlikc a trans-
formation scene from'the' black crook, as like
- schools for the study of devotion and morality.
There is great strife and expense among the
schools to see who will make the gayest
show, and have the Onewcst devices at the
parade, and thoughtless rich men are too
ready to gratify the demand of the children
for the show.

~ A WORD or CRITICISM.
' It maybe all right fOr Christian churches to
borrow the theatrical parades of the infidel
French republic, and it may be a good lesson
In humility and unobtrusiveness fer the
children who are made the center of atten-
tion in the most public manner. But that
is not the way it looks to a man of the
world. The'way to make our children sim-
ple, sincere, modest and perservering, is not to
train them to shows and parades as" part of
their earliest experiences. Thanks to over-
fond parents and foolish teachers, the child-
ren of the time are ready enough to think‘
the world was made for their convenience,
without having the church and the news_
papers full Of their doings. If they are
lirouglit up to crave notoriety and sensation,
they will make wild work of the world
When they take it into their own hands.
.L'xcLE TOM’S CABIN.
: The old play of his name is now running
at the Park Theatre, with Mr.‘ and Mrs.
Howard as Topsy and St. Clair, which they
made their own thirty years ago, and have
played nothing since. The play is fresh as
pasnt, it is so long since anybody here has
seen it, and is quite the fashion. The steam-
boat scencs have the panorama of the Missis-
sippi sliding benind them, which makes a
pretty illusion of moving banks, and a troupe
of colored jubilee singers fill the slave parts
with negro melodies and revival songs in
beautiful voice. Mrs. Howard’s Topsy
breakdowns, and
gabblcs in smooth negro voice, the greatest
piece of fun, by the large, on the boards.

The annual report of the bank commis-

has been printed. There was an addition to
the deposits of the savings banks, during the
year 1875, of a fraction short-of $5,000,000,
and while some portion Of the sum may have
represented the investors who found it diffi-
cult to place elsewhere, by'far the greater part
is believed to be made up Of the savings of

show that the average income from the assets

keeping it up to at least 3 per cent. of the dc-

such deposits only, anal not be taken‘Out of
the general earnings of the banks. They
would lay a heavy penalty on the violation of
the law restricting the amount Of deposits,
and in every way peasiblc confine the use of
these institutions to those for whom they
were designed— the industrious poor. The
United States tax falls upon less than one-
tliird of the. deposits, and yetthe other two-
thirds a.'e, it seems, under the present prac-
tice of bank officers, compelled to bear two-
thirds of the tax which does not legally
belong to them. If this half of 1 per cent.
were deducted from the dividends of the
large depositors, it would make the banks
less attractive to men of large means. If
then the state will'conscnt to let up on its
heavy demands from these institutions, the
her-rowers may gain some relief, and the
dividends to the frugal working people may
be kept up. ‘ The proposals to cut down arbi-
trarily the receipts of. the banks 1 per cent.,
thus forcing tliem‘to reduce their dividend to"
5 per cent., while the state maintains its high

Importation of‘ Arsenic.
'I‘IIE ITSES AND ABUSES OF THE DRUG.
During the last year one million six Illlll
hell and thirty-six thousand three hundred
and thirty-five (1,636,335) pounds or arsenic;
were imported into the, United States, the
greater part Of which was received at New
York and distributed thence to all sections of
country. In various manufacturers this
poisonous article occupies an important place.
The name “arsenic” is of Greek derivation,
“arsenikon” or “assenikon,” from its power
of destroying. Metallic arsenic occurs native
iii veins in the crystalized' rocks and older ,
slates, and is found in large quantities at,
Altcnburg and Richenstcin, in Silesia, also at
Andreasburg, in the I-Iartz, and at the other
mines inHungary and Bohemia. This ore
has also been found in many localities in
Connecticut and New Hampshire particularly
but is not rare in any of the New England
States. Strange as it may seem, arsenic has
been found in the ashes of many plants ; also
in certain soils and smineral fitters. It has
also been detected in cemeteries, and its
diffusion throughout the land in minute
qupntitics may be regarded as very remarks-
blc. Modern chemists do not treat it as a
metal, though it is commonly treated as such.
“Appleton’s Encyclopedia” characterizes it
“as one of the mOst volatile and one of the
most combustible Of the metals, is readily
sublimed at a temperature of 360 deg.
Fahrenheit, apparently before it metals, and
at a greater heat it takes fire and burns with
a pale blue flame, giving out dense fumes of
a peculiar garlicky Odor.”
Arsenic readily combines as an. alloy with
other metals, and its most extensive use,
perhaps is in our large foundcries. It gives
great fluidity to molton iron, and in fine
castings that do not require much strengtll,
but sharply defined and delicate outlines, it is
very desirable, but when existing in the iron
ores its presence is particularly injurious, as
it makes the cast metal tOO brittle for general
use.
Arsenic is largely employed in the manu- '
facture of aniline colors, and form the basis
of the article known as Paris green. It also
enters into the composition of wall paper,
and instances have occurred in which persons
occupying rooms covered with green paper
have been badly poisoned. As an agent in
suicide and murder it has been largely em-
ployed, but its use for the commission of
those crimes, particularly the latter, is rare
nowadays, owing to the easy manner in which
its presence may be detected in the body
after death. It has also been used in medical
practice, but is not held in great favor by the
profession. Large quantities are also annually
used in the making of insect and vermin
poisons, but the greater part of the million
and tlirec-qqarter pounds imported to this
country is used in foundries and various
manufactories. It is quoted as worth from
three and three-quarters to four cents in gold
per pound. ——Baltl'morc Sun.
Missmo A Fish—The water was heavy,
and no mistake, and as it dashed round the
rock on which I stood, I rather hesitated
whether to try that particular pool or not ;
for I knew by bitter experience the difficulty
of following a fish should he, as most prob-
ably lic would, take down stream. How-
ever, I did the plucky, and in a few minutes
my blue-bodied fly was swiming across the
pool. Round it came floating on the top of
the stream ; so strong was the current that
it could not sink. Two or three more throws
and then came up a noble fellow, half of him
showing out of water as he boldly took my
fly; the line tightened, and the steel struck
home. A moment's pause as we both pre-
pared for the tussle, and then off he dashed
down stream. I groaned as yard after yard
raced out, and I prepared to follow my friend
in his reckless career. Fortunately, before I
had moved he turned and came straight
back to me ; fast as I reeled up, yet faster
came the fish. I could not step back so as to
regain the touch, and for a few agonizing
moments I thought he was off ; but no. I
suppose the water kept the line taut, and
prevented the fly comingaway, as too often
occurs in such a crisis; and I felt that the
link that connected us was still to the good. -
Eagerly I watched the line as it slowly mov-
ed round and round the small pool, and I
made up my mind, if possible, to keep my
antagonist within its narrow bounds. A
short dash down. was extra pleasure. I dar- -
ed not put on the strain too hard, for I was
fishing with single gilt, and that little thicker
than sewing gut. I began now to have hopes
of killing him, and was chuckling over the
idea of sending him as a present to the friends
I had left in the morning, and have the laugh
on my side ; for of course they had made
merry at the idea of my rushing Off so f ran-
tically. “There’s many a slip." The extra .
pleasure had evidently riled the fish, and he
made an angry dash up stream, followed by
a grand leap clear out of the water ;' but he
was unfortunately so close under my rod at
the time that I could not slack sufficiently,

As if in derision, clear out Of water again
sprang my late antagonist. Was it my fancy

A missionary Of the American Suday-
school Union, in Minnesota, writes : “Last
Spring I met with the people of a settlement
in Sherburuc county, in the first religious
service they ever had, and organized a Sun-
day-school of 25 scholars. It has been a
complete success. During the season they
recited from memory 2,000 Scripture verses.
Recently I held a series of meetings there.
The Holy Spirit’s presence was manifest;
the few Christianswer quickencd in zeal,
backslidcrs were reclaimed, and five profes-
sed conversion. Here, now, were seventeen
persons of five different denominational pre-
ferences, evangelical in their faith. How
can they be united in one Society for the
worship and service of God ? I submitted
to their consideration a purely Bible creed,
embracing all the fundamental principles of
Christianity, to which every believer gave
most hearty assent; and all subscribed a cov-
enant binding themselves, by Divine grace
helping, to be the Lord’s, and to laber uni-
tcdly in His service. The Superintendent of'
the Home Missionary Society on his field will
ordain-one of them deacon, and recognize
this little band as a Church Of Christ, and
promises to furnish them with preaching by
the resident minister of the nearest town.

The day had been set, and the young man
was happy. When his father failed in bus-
iness he collected all the pink love-letters,
the look of hair, the faded violets, etc., and
started for her father’s mansion. He was
high-minded and honorable, and he felt in
duty bound to release her from the engage-
ment. 'et he grew faint as he was ushered
into the parlor. . Such love as his wouldn't
stay crushed. _
“Gworge! dwear Gworge 1" she exclaimed,
as she entered the parlor and seized his hand.
“ Arabella, I am here to do my duty," he
said as he rose up. ' .
‘ W-hat’s the matter ?" she asked.
“ I'I-‘iven’t you heard of—of my fathers's
failure 1” he inquired, his heart beating
painfully.
“ Why, yes, dwear Gworge, and what of
it ?"
“ Aren't you~won't you—that is———!"
“ I’m glad of it—that’s all 1” she cried.
“You are P" ' _
“ Of course I am i I was talking with
father, and he said if your father had failed
for $60,000 he’d made, at least $50,000 out of
it, and of course you‘ll get twice as much as
you counted on i” '
Some girls would have set the dog on him,
not havinga business father to make the due
explanations.
