Court House Tarl.
We have been asked to call the attention
of the County Commissioners and the
City Council to the condition of tho court
house yard. It is said to need cleaning
and trimming up badly. A few days of
chain gang labor, assisted by tho city
carts, would do tho work. It is naturally
a beautiful yard and the grove is splendid;
and we feel assured that both the city and
county authorities will take pleasure in
having it kept prpperly. But may we ask
pity on the trees? Let no axe or saw
touch them. More trees, grand in their
natural growth, arc marred and ruined
by untimely or unskillful lopping, trim
ming, cutting and sawing, than by any
other causes. Thunder strikes are Infin
itely more harmless tnan the restless axe
and the hungry saw.

■are Chance far an Enterprising News
paper, with a “Poetic'' Attachment.
“The Wllloox A Glhbs Sewing Machine
Company” steps to tho front with a most
brilliant advertising scheme; a scheme by
which the company doubtless hopes to
got flve thousand, and possibly ton thou
sand dollars worth of advertising, for two
“new automatic sawing machines,” the
shop price of which Is one hundred and
slxty-tlve dollars, and perhaps the real
value of which will not exceed one-fourth
of that sum— twenty dollars In good and
fifteen dollars in currency! Now, wo call
that a brilliant dash for choap advertising,
and one scarcely equalled, and certainly
not exceeded, even by the most expe
rienced first-class advertising agencies
of the “cheat cities.” We predict for
the Willcox A Gibbs Company a great
success, and shall watch with some Inter
est for the “prize articles.”
The proposition made by this liberal
patron of the Press Is to give, for the five
best prize articles, not less than half a
column, nor more than a column and a
half—published in the reading columns of
the papers receiving tho circular—two
“automatic sowing machines," one at SIOO
and the other at sos—and for essuys 3,4
and 5, S2O in gold, and $lO and $5 In cur
rency-making a “grand” 1 total of $206 In
capital prizes! But tha truly lihorai fea
ture In the proposition, however, Is tho
open Held the company offers to enterprise
when It has a “Poetic” attaclimenti-for it
will receive articles written In “Poetry’
as readily as those put up In prose.
We decline to compete, but give this
notice, thft our brethren of the Press may
know that wo shall soon expect to see a
sea of sewing machine lltorature blowing
over the country.

A Man Killed at tlic Factory.
Yesterday evening about 5 o’clock John
Howard and several other negro men
were engaged In moving some heavy tim
ber at the new factory. When they ar
rived at the pilo with a very heavy piece,
the signal was given for the inside men to
stand from undor, but for some unac
countable reason John did not get out of
tho way and tho timber fell on an knocked
him down and lodged on his head, crush
ing It against another piece. Ho was Im
mediately gotten out and physicians sent
for. He lived about flftoen or twenty
minutes, bleeding profusely all tho while.
Drs. Terry and Johnston were promptly
on hand but could do nothing for him.
Great care should bo used in directing the
movements of laborers, when handling
timber or other bodies of unusual weight
to prevent if possible, such sad occur
rences. No Inquest will be held on the
body.

The Hill Amending the City charter.
We publish tills morning the bill now
pending before tho Slate Legislatuie, and
which will doubtless pass, amending the
charter of the dty, so far as to change
the manner of eloctlng the Clerk of Coun
cil and the term of the Mayor and Aider
men. At the next election, which occurs
os heretofore on tho 2d Saturday in De
cember, the Mayor and twelve Aldermen
will be chosen, but the Mayor anil six
Aldermen will serve for two years, and
six Aldermen for one year; and after
the next election only six Aldermen
will bo annually elected—six always
holding over—thereby always having
in tho board, a majority counting the
Mayor, of experienced officials. The
clerk will by this bill, bo elected by Coun
cil, and we think the bill would bo better
If the Marshal and Sexton were also to be
electod by Council, but they will be choson
os heretofore. It may not boa defect In
the bill, but It seems to us that It should
provide that of the six Aldermen to be
elected, one should be chosen from each
ward. As it roads all six may be from the
upper throe, or the lower three wards—
or two from any three wards and none
from the others. If our view of it Is cor
rect, it will tie well for tho attention of
MaJ. Moses to be called to the oversight
and have It corrected before tho bill pos
ses.
An Imposter llnvlng a lllgli Old Time
In “the Hub."
Of all the imposters and roguas that have
viaited this city, none equal the German
rogue, Paul V. Grolp, in point of assumed
dignity and assurance. Grolp arrived in
Boston January “Uth from Philadelphia, and
took quarters at Parker's, representing him
self to be an attache ol the Prussian Com
mission to the Centennial, and stating that
he came eastward to inquire into the system
ol'the public institutions of New England.
His excellent appearance and address and
gift of language made an impression on the
gentlemen with whom he came in contact at
the hotel; and, by way of proving his great
personal importance, he exhibited a letter
of introduction to a leading Magistrate of the
Commonwealth, whose quarters are not sit
uated a thousand miles from the State house.
The letter purported to he signed by the De
pot-master of the New York Central Rail
road, in New Y’ork. Upon the strength ol
the same he became acquainted with the
high official, and, on reiterating the object
of his visit, as referred to above, he was
given a letter of introduction to the Warden
of the State Prison. The Secretary of the
official became a great favorite with the
Prussian visitor, and in a few days Grolp
was revolving in the best circles of the Hub,
having worked into the acquaintance ol
some of the finest gentlemen in the city,
whose names, for various reasons are with
held at present. He was wined and dined
by the bon-ton, and, by his conversational
powers, musical abilities and knowledge ol
things generally, soon became the
admired of the admiring. An idea
of how he stood with his aristocra
tic friends may be gained from the fact that
a few days ago he was taken out to ride by
an official who carried him to the house ol a
friend, where a grand dinner was served in
honor of'the distinguished visitor. The lat
ter enraptured all present with his singing,
the host expressing the opinion that as a bar
itone Grolp was without an equal. The
guest showed considerable partiality for
champagne, especially when on excursions
to the club houses throughout the city—in
cluding the Union—by the members of which
he was received with homage usually con
ferred on royal visitors. After two weeks'
enjoyment his star began to wane, although
he himself was not aware of the fact. He
had since his arrival exhibited hut little
money, and a welloknow n clerk became a!
once suspicious of him, but kept quiet for
sake of certain gentlemen he was associa
ting with, who could not be induced to be
lieve that he was anything but what he rep
resented. The suspicions were strengthened
by the remark of a fellow at the hotel one
day upon seeing Grolp, in effect that he
(Grolp) was “a fraud” and was known in
Philadelphia as an imposter and a swindler
The hotel management soon became satis
fied that their distinguished guest was a rogue
from information lurnished by parties in
Philadelphia, end on Tuesday, to test the
color of his money, presented a bill for board,
amounting to SBO. Grolp took the matter
in a careless way, nonchalently replying he
would give his check for the amount the
next morning. The next day, however, he
took French leave, hut unfortunately for
him, he kept up his visits to his new-formed
acquaintances, of whom he probably inten
ded to borrow enough to allow him to shake
off the dust of Boston. He intended yester
day morning to make an official visit of in
spection to the Water-works at Waltham
with a gentleman connected with a well
known business house, and at the appointed
hour for starting—noon—he was on hand
only to be arrested by Detectice Dearborn
for defraudiug the hotel. He assumed an act
of dignity and considered it quite impudent
on the part of the officer not to allow him
to go in company of gentlemen to the sta
tion. He was immediately put into Court,
but not being ready to proceed with a de
fense, he was held for examination on Tues
day. Among the effects found in his room
at the hotel was clothing far from befiting
his assumed station. A white bosom shirt a
few white collars served for sta'e occcurring
and the rest of the clothing was in charac
ter with one who earned his living by his
wits.
Consumptives Take Notice.
Evory moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends on
the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr.
Schonck’s Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for
Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support tho pretensions of
any other medicine. See Dr. Schenck’s
Almanac, containing the certificates of
many persons of the highest respectabili
ty, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by
physicians of acknowledged ability
Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alono has
cured many, as these evidences will show;
but the cure is often promoted by the em
ployment of two other remedies which
Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose.
These additional remedies are Sehenck’s
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By
the timely use of those medicines, accord
ing to directions, Dr. Schenck certifies
that most any case of Consumption may
be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his
principal office, Corner Sixth and Arch
streets, Philadelphia, every Monday,
where ail letters for advice must bo ad
dressed.
The People Want Proof.
There is no medicine prescribed by phys
icians, or sold by druggists, ttiat carries
such evidence of its success and superior
virtue as Bosehee’s German Syrup for so
vere Coughs, Colds settled on the breast,
Consumption.or any disease of the Throat
and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that
any person afflicted, can get a Sample
Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior
effect before buying the regular size at 75
cents. It has lately been introduced in
this country from Germany, and its won
derful cures are astonishing everyone
that use it. Three doses will relieve any
ease. Try it. Sold by

Worth Trying. —We recently learned
that. Mr. J. B. Port, of Marion Junction,
Alabama, a practical and excellent far
mer, killed a lot of hoys, grown by him
self, one year old, which averaged net
183| pounds. He estimates the cost of his
pork, including attention to the hogs, at
less than three cents a pound. His ex
periment shows that one bushel of raw
corn will make ten pounds of pork; if
ground and soaked till sour, it will make
lourteen or fifteen pounds.— Oa. Orange.
