This dissolution of copartnership and the separation of the publication of the Herald from the job printing business is due to no rupture or mis understanding upon our part, but is the result of a friendly mutual agree ment based upon what appears to us to be for our mutual benefit. Hi M. McIntosh. ' T. P. Green. Albany, Gn* Fob. 27. I leave the Herald with regrets, for 1 love the paper I founded, amt will always give it what little influence I have. But l could not leave it in bet ter bands, as I consider Mr. McIntosh one of the best newspaper men In the State, and think it the best day’s work I could have The desperate courage of the young man Perry whose exploit on the Now York Central railroad, a few nights since, has been graphically told in the newspapers, challenges ad miration. Single-handed, he captured an express car and afterward a loco motive, the latter act being in the presence of a crowd of people and in face-to-face defiance of officers.

Thomnsvllle Evening News The says: “Albany is making extra efforts to done for the benefit o(| have the Chautauqua meeting of this the city and section, when I induced I year more attractive thaQ ever before, him to return to journalism. /The suc cess and growth of the Hewed has been phenomenal, ami I feel no appre hensions about its future, for Mr. Mc- IntoBh’s energy a’nd vim would make a success of a far less prosperous enter prise. I never will engage in the newspaper business agnin in Albany, but will remain in the city and among the people I love and devote my time and talent to job printing, Imping to receive the same kind treatment from the public as heretofore. ' T. P. Green. Sunday morning . the Herald asked if there were enough Alliance- men in the Second Congressional dis trict to control the next district Dem ocratic convention. We asked the question in good faith, because we wanted to know, and thought that perhaps some well informed Alliance- man of tile district who had been to the Alliance convention at Cuthbert would be willing to furnish the de sired information. An Allinncemnn, whose communication we publish this morning rises, to the question, hut not for the purpose of answering it. He embraces the opportunity to “offer a •few thoughts suggested by this ques tion,” but takes particular pains to let the question itself severely alone. We gladly give place to the well express ed thoughts of this Allianccinan, and have no fault to llnd with anything that he says. His suggestions are timely and seem to be prompted by a desire for Democratic harmony. Of course all Democrats will be for the nominee, after the convention. The Herald will be, whether he be an Allianceman or not; but since the Alliance has brought out a candidate we can’t see the harm of our inquiry as to whether there are enough Alliance- men in the district to control the Democratic convention. The Herald is in search of information which would be interesting to the public, and if the Allianceman whose com munication our query has elicited will not furnish it perhaps another will. “Military Day,” April 1st, will be one of the most attractive features of the meeting. The staff officers of the Fourth Regiment will be present, and a special invitation has been sunt to the Guards, Hussars and the South Georgia Cadets of this city. Maj. T. N. Hopkins is in receipt of a letter from Col. Wight, of Albany, in which he says: ‘We hope to send all our military friends away from us feeling that we have done all,In our power to make their short stay with us a pleasant occasion, and wishing that the tiuio may soon roll round when they will again come to Albany as bur guests.” Albany understands the art of hos pitality, and she will make the visit of our military boys very pleasant to them.” A EIRE IN EAST UOUMIIUHTY. Justice \V. J. Mocli’s Court Destroyed. News reached the city Saturday that Justice W. J. Mock’s court house, situated in tho Eastern part of the county, about five miles from Albany, bad been destroyed by Are. It occurred early Saturday morning and when first discovered the flames had gained such headway that it was impossible to get them under control, The building was a small frame one, and was only used ns a justice court house. Saturday was the regular court day, and Justice Mock called court to order in the woods. There were a number of cases to be tried, and tho tall pines furnished the only roof the crowd bad. Tramps frequently spent the night in the building, and they are supposed to have started the blaze, ns several were seen in the neighborhood just before dark oh the night of the fire. The idea of taking up some other New Yorker thnn either Cleveland or Hill, or of leaving New York entirely out and looking elsewhere for a Presi dential candidate seems to be growing. A Washington special says on Ibis line: “The Democrats here generally recognize the recent Democratic State „ ( ,„ el . a i convention field in' New York as a big affair, and acknowledge that as far as tile regular Democracy of that State is concerned, it is practically solid for Senator Hill, and Hint the only tiling tile anti-Hill men in New York can do is to convince Ibe Democrats all over the country thal it will be necessary to go elsewhere than New York for a candidate for President.

More than one man whose name appears there graced by the simple but comprehensive word "clerk,” is,.if tho truth woi-e known, fully entitled to classification as a professional scapegoat. There is more than one that is paid a substantial salary by large houses for no otlior occupation than taking upon liis shoulders the blame for all the misdeeds of the establishment and suffering the supposed loss of his situation at the rate of a dozen times a day. or as much oftener as occasion may require. Boing discharged a half dozen times u day without once losing his position, and at the same time being well paid, for the peculiar performance, is indeed a novel idea. ThiB is how it is done: A lady makes n purchase of sovoral articles, all of which are to bo sent to her address as given, before a cor tain hour, without fail. The follow ing day tho customer returns and in her own sweet way proceeds to "tear out" tho floor manager or proprietor, ns it may be, because the goods ti: 'od to arrive tit the promised hour. The story is patiently heard, and tho word is passed along for Smith. Smith makes his appearance with a coun tenance professionally penitent uud submissive. ' ‘Smith, "tho manager begins, "you wore iustractod to seuil tills lady’s goods to the address given you before 4 o’clock?” "Yes, sir,” is Smith’s plaintive re ply, "but" "Never mind an explanation. 1 un dorstand. Your neglect caused the dolay and has risked tho loss of one of our best customers. We cannot put up with your carelessness any longer. Y mi may go to the office and get your puy.” Smith steals away with u ready made crestfallen look upon his face. “Madam, [ regret the occurrence of such mi unnecessary blunder, but ns sure you it will not happen again; Huroly not from that man," nnd madam takes her departure fully satisfied that she has had her revenge. Another irate customer appears on the scene. This time the trouble is with a suit of furniture which had been purchased a week before as in perfect order, but has already begun to show signs of approaching disso lution. Tln> aggrieved purchaser opens on the manager, who at onco sends for the "man who ..takes tho blume” and opens his usual pro gramme. "How is this, sir? What do you mean by sonding out goods in such a condition? You have boon repeated ly told not to permit any goods to lenvq your department unless in per foot order. This is not tho first timo tips has hnjqnjnod, hut it will be tho last. Go to the office and get your pay; wo linvo no further use for your services. "Madam, I am very Horry that you should have beon so deceived by one of our salesmen. We cannot very well take back the furniture after it has been used, but wo will send a man to your house to put it in proper shape," nnd the lady goes on her way satisfied that she has received justice. "The man who takes the blame” is next discharged for overcharging in making a sale of silk dress goods. He then suffers a tirade of abuse, and is also to go beeauso he has sold a sot 'tit fine china without calling tho attention of tho purchaser to bov eral little defects. And so it goes from morning to night, day after day week in and week out. Tho poor fellow is mado to suffer for all the sins of tho entire establishment. tVom the manager down to the errand boy. "It is somewhat strange." said a floor walker, "hut the fact is that many people are satisfied to put lip witli considerable inconvenience if they enn only lie revenged by seeing some one discharged. Sometimes when u-e bring outom;man who takes the blame, the customer ventures to suggest that be is not the man who waited on her, but wo insist thnt he is, and the man adds liis own asser tion, and in nine cases out of ton the customer is convinced. Very few people take enough notice of a sales man to identify him unless they meet him frequently. "I have known some establish meiits that have employed two or more men to lako blame in order to facilitate matters. The funniest part of the thing is tbiil our .scapegoat mini grows fat on, being 'cussed.' He has increased from ISO to 380 pounds in fifteen mouths, and smfleb so much that we will have to change him and get some flyspepljc looking individual ill liis place." -Philadelphia Record. Tl»o Prisoner’* Clou. One of our young lawyers tells a good one oil himself. At the lost term of the court Jtulge Roney ap pointed him to defend a negro who was "cuse er something concerning Liver hog." The case was plain and the negro was soon standing before his honor for sentence, when the usual question was asked if ho had anything to say before sentence was passed. His reply was, "Nutliin much, boss, 'coptin I hope yer will keep in mind de youngness uv my lawyer.” — Waynesboro (Ga.) True Citizen. CARTER & SUCCESSORS TO N. & A. F.
