The Building Inspectors of Philadelphia issued 623 permits for tb.e erection of new buildings during tb month of September, against 549 permits issued during the same period last year.

At the third 'annual meeting of the "National Rifle Association, which took place at Creedmoor last week, and closed on Saturday, a lengthy and well arranged programme was gone through with, comprising fifteen matches, which required five days hard shooting. The match for the championship was won by Major Fulton, by a score of 131, at 200, 600 and 1,000 yards distance, with ten shots at each range, bull's eyes counting five. This gentleman is also well up in the long range match (which will be finished this afternoon), and the chances of winning the first prizes are greatly in his favor. The Carlists be in financial straits.

They have the town of San Sebastian under their guns, and having given its citizens a taste of their quality, now demand one hundred thousand dollars to discontinue their bombard ment. From the lofty language U3ed by Don Carlos in his pronunciamentos, we would have thought the Spanish throne was the goal of his ambition, and that his patriotism was beyond the reach of the influence of such base agents as filthy lucre. His weak and vacillating coarse heretofore has brought contempt upon himself and his cause, and this last act if we mistake bring upon 'him the indignation, and finally the strong arms, of the Conti nental powers, who will very properly interfere, in the Interest of peace, to put a stop to the brigandage on a large scale of which Don Carlos and his followers are guilty; 1 The Fall IUyer strike, a somewhat historical event, has collapsed thorough' ly. The work people have all gone to work. The misery of the situation Is depicted in the news of this morning.

The idleness of the Fall River opera tives, induced by a set of leeches who, doing no work themselves, keep Indus trlous people idle through strikes, and get paid by their victims for ruining them, has caused a large influx of ope ratives from other localities. And now, when the strikers offer to go to work for the wages they formerly refused, it is discovered', that' the, supply of skilled workmen is far in excess of the wants of the mills. The consequence is that the Fall 'River Operatives, by their strikes, invited distant workmen to their to go in when the mill owners were ready to resume. The day of 'resumption and those who intended to control the mills find themselves out of work, their places filled by others, and a hard winter opening on their idleness. When will our people learn wisdom to consider the condition of the labor market before stopping work? When will 'they dis cover the bad faith of pretended svm pathizers who stand ready to step into tne snues oi me dupes whom they trick A A 1 A WW into nMf jj'ali River work people seem likely to have these considerations forced, on them during the coming winter, and all friendly to thm can only offer them sympathy, and ad vice.

We hope the present outlook for them may be modified by a return to the old good feeling existing before the rascally stirrers up of strife came in to work their ruin, OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. From the Baltimore American. A Temperance sermon The sad catastrophe' in which the liev. Dr. Porteous lost his life teaches a lesson in temperance which ought to be heeded not only by the clergymen who go to sea in small boats, but also those who remain on shore.

The reputation of this distinguished English clergyman perished with his life. Probably it never would have been known that he was fond of intoxicating drinks if he had not been drowned through the un skillfulness of a couple of inexperienced boatmen whom he had helped to make drunk. Possibly the habit of taking wine is more common among clergymen in England than in America, but we have known native born preachers. who would have been as helpless as Dr. Porteous if they had been tilted out of a boat immediately after taking their accustomed drinks.

The unfortunate man whose death betrayed his infirmities was staying at Sea Cliff with his family. On Tuesday afternoon a boating party was made up, which consisted of himself, his wife, a lady friend, and two plumbers named Koop and Benjamin, who had gained some sort of an acquaintance with Dr. Porteous at Sea Cliff. Two of Mr. Keop's children also went with the party.

A basket was put into the boat, which, beside the lunch usually carried along on such occasions, contained several bottles of liquor. From these Dr. Porteous and the two plumbers refreshed themselves several times during the trip. About five o'clock they returned to Sea Cliff, where the ladies and the small children were landed, and the three tnen, with Koop's two sons, then started for Glen Cove "to get a drink," no liquors being sold at Sea Cliff. They reached Glen Cove in safety, took several drinks and then started to return.

The three men were drunk and unfit to manage a yawl. Benjamin.who was sitting In the bow of the boat, went to change his position so as to get beside Dr. Porteous, who was sitting with the two boys in the stern. The boat tilted and all were thrown into the sea. Benjamin and Dr.

Porteous were drowned Koop and his two boys managed to get hold of the boat and kept themselves above water till rescued by a boat from a schooner that happened to be near by. The suspicion that obtained in New York for a day or two after the accident, that Dr. Porteous had been pur posely thrown out of the boat, was entirely groundless. The men who were with him were not dangerous characters, as was at first supposed they were simply mechanics of convivial habits. whose acquaintance ur.

t'orteous naa formed at Sea Cliff, and whose society he seemed to enjoy in spite of the great disparity in the social position of each. Communicated. The Only npe. The only hope of the Rebel Democ racy of Pennsylvania in 1875 is the side show of a Prohlbif ory party (so called) in the old game "divide and conquer." I have no doubt the rum advocates are furnishing money to help along the new party, as a means of strengthening their own Interests. However that may" be, allow an old teetotaller and prohibitionist to say, after reading the proceedings of the Prohibition Convention in Bradford eounty on the 30th ult.

1st. That the first resolution is true whether honest and consistent or not. The only real advance made in temper ance has been maae by moral means, not by parly caucuses. Go to God for help, and not "down into Egypt." Every effort to make temperance a football for office hunting, has been unfortunate for temperance. In Maine.

Vermont and Michigan theonly States in which any decided and permanent advance has been made no temperance party has had anv streneth the Republican party passed such laws as were deemed beneficial to temperance and were sus tained by aa enlightened public opinion: As balance of power men, prohibitionists may be beneficial; as a separate party, a tool for politicians they nave aone somenarm no gooa. 2d. How do these men know the re peal of local option "was in defiance of the expressed will of the people concerned Those concerned. were the counties where licenses were made more strict and expensive, as well as where they were prohibited. It is mere assumption to say that the repeal was not tne popular demand, sustained by the representatives or the people last elected to decide upon the question.

Sorry it was so, but the few thousand votes cast by the prohibitory party last year, were sufficient to elect the rum party's choice, and to defeat Col. Beatn. the only active prohibitionist on either or the great party ticKets. The truthla. tne disorganizing erioris or tneae very prohibitionists caused the repeal of local option.

The rum power and Democracy combined, ana those prohibitionists played second Addle, by diverting Ke publicans only Republicans to throw away votes on a hopeless third ticket. How many years will elapse before the Democracy will legislate for temper ance? 3d. It is stated that "45 delegates. representing tnel'rohlbltlonists of Brad iora. county, answered to their names." You, Mr.

Editor, say "few, if any, del egates had been elected." They were a caucus, representing only themselves. mere were oua rronibltlonists In Brad iora county at the election of 1873. on iwmi option tnose 40 men are in no sense their representatives, for the vast majority oi tnose nave time and aorain expressed (as did the National Prohibi tion Convention this year) their disap iiuvai ui a Liuru party. 4th. Most ridiculous of all was the endorsement of the Crawford county sys tern of nominating candidates.

When these 45 self appointed mis representa tives taxe tnac power away from the peopie, ana even irom tnemseives, by vesting tne nominations wnony in a committee of five Five men making nominations for the Prohibitionists, is as much "Crawford county system" as there is consistency in this effort to get tne x(eoei jKum jjemocracy into power again unaer tne pretence of temperance. ATHER ABRAHAM. The Ohio Campaign. The following letter has been received from a veteran Ohio statesman, and a close observer of politics for the last forty years 'I was absent on the stump when your letter arrived here, which will account for the delay in answering it. I have spent considerable time in the canvass, and have seen and conversed with nearly all our principal canvassers.

uu nu uiiiiti iu Bturiuic mat tne tenun Ucans were never more wideawake than now, nor was tne etate ever more thoroughly organized and stumped than now. And I have seon no intelligent Republican who does not believe that we shall carry the State by a very larare majority. At first the Democratic idea of making irredeemable paper had a charm for some men who were embar rassed and harassed by debts that thev MAJV uu UVUVUUl lb Will UUVO some effect with that class of men, but miiM nn.T i .1 t.4 tl ...111 1 tne catnouc scnooi question will great! overbalance all that the Democracy will gain by their wild cat money scheme. Our meetings have been larger and more enthusiastic than ever, and you may put us down 20,000 majority for Hayes, and I think much more than that. The.

Democrats mean nothing more nor less than general repudiation. dishonor and destruction, but the people of the North are not quite ready for such an event whatever maybe the feelings Of the South." A Detective's Blander. The Virginia City (Nev.) Evening Chronicle relates this incident: About two months ago a young lawyer of this city and his newly acquired wife were returning from a visit to the bay. Wearied a trifle with constant billing and cooing, the young husband made some feeble excuse or other and slipped offto the smoking car to burn a cigar and think with a sigh of the departed bachelor days when he could spit out of the window over his boot toes, with none to say: "Oh, please, Steve, dear, don't!" The bride, with rather an injured expression, was sitting in her palace car, musing on the waning ardor of her Stephen, when she suddenly discovered that she was the center of attraction to the whole car. Two rough looking men were standing in the aisle, gazing at her closely, and then referring to a paper which one held in his hands.

Before the astonished and indignant lady could collect her thoughts, one of the men took the vacant seat beside her, and with a knowing wink observed "A good get up, Nancy, but it won't You're copped dead to rights this time, honey." "Sir!" gasped the frightened lady, shrinking back into the furthest corner. "By the big stick," said the man, admiringly. "Nance, you'd ought to a goneon the stage. I never see anything better done. But it won't do.

You've got to come back with us, you stand a good chance of goin over the bay for five at shortest." exclaimed Mrs. thoroughiy alarmed and Btartingto her feet. "Will no gentleman protect me from the insults of this Half A dozen gentlemen sprang for ward at this appeal. "Uentlemen," saia tne man, jist at tend to your own business, and I'll tend to mine. I've been hunting this bird for two months, and more, and I've got her at last.

She puts on a good deal of style, but if you've ever heard of Nance Brown, one of the 'cutest thieves on the here she is. I'd have taken her quietly, but if she wants to make a row, it's her own business. I'm Detective i and here's my war rant." Oh. this is intolerable." cried the poor lady, bursting into tears of indig nation ana sname. uentiemen, my husband.

Mr. is on the train. Go find him; for Heaven's sake There1 presently appeared about tne wildest looking lawyer outside of Stockton. The detectives grinned at the vehement explanations of the husband, and the other officer warned him to be quiet, or he would arrest him for inter fering. xvortunateiy mere were several Virginians on the train, and they at once identified the lawyer as a respeeta ble citizen, though the marriage being recent, they had not known the lady.

The detectives were proluse in their apologies, and got out of the car in double quicK order, loosing more sneep ish than any thief takers have a right to look; and swearing that it was the strongest resemblance, they had ever i i The Loveliest Quartz She Ever Saw. At Sherman we all got out of the cars to breathe the air of the highest point on the Union Pacific railroad, and to pick up stones ana ass iooiisn ques tions of the natives. One enthusiastic young lady gathered a lot of stones to keep as curiosities one piece was pure white, and she admired it exceedingly, and said that "it was the coveiiest specimen of quartz she ever saw." An old miner near bv said something about its being "sick looking quartz," when the young lady became very indignant, the old mountaineer, however. suggested that she might eat that quartz 11 sne wanted to, it woman nurt ner any. and it was his opinion that al though very inferior as quartz she would find it a fair article of sugar.

The enthusasm of that gentle tourist melted away with wonderful rapidity as she threw down the lumps of sweetness that had fallen from somebody's lunch Omaha Jsee. Advice to the Married. The child of Catharine and Thomas Bestwick, of Williamsburg, was before ustice Gil bert, in Brooklyn yesterday, on a writ of habeas corpus, relative to its custody, its parents having separated. After hearing both sides, Justice Gilbert said that it was the duty of the husband and wife to live together. There was a creat deal more of this alleged cruel treatment than formerly.

lie was afraid that the sscret was that women now a days were a little too exacting. They expected more attention than they did formerly, ana were more aissatisnea at trifles. Married persons had to put up with a good deal, and must not be ready to break up a family ana separate for a whim. The couple in the case must live together. It would be ruinous to them to live apart.

If they did not make up matters by the first Monday in November, the law would give the custody of the child to the father. If he did not treat his wife well, the law afforded ample remedy. New Mode of Administering Io dine. A new process for administering iodine is given by M. Collas, in the Bul letin Ueneral ae Unerapeultque.

The plan consists, in a word, in iodizing albumen, so as to meet all the difficul ties hitherto experienced. The albumen is prepared by agitating: actively in al buminous solution witn loaine in a very fine powder, or in solution, in some ap propriate vehicle. The mixture is at nrst highly colored, blackish brown, but this color gradually disappears in several hours of contact, and the preparation no longer strikes the violet color with starch. The product is then desiccated under gentle heat in an air bath, when it may be made into pilular mass. The dose is so arranged that each pill shall contain five milligrams of iodine.

It is found that thus prepared, iodine has no baa enects whatever it may be continu ed for a period of several weeks without stomach trouble or other inconveni ence, i Taciturn Presidents. The Phila delphia North American predicts the raiiure or a would be candi date for the Presidency, because he talks too much, it says: "We have had a few limber tongued men on the PresL dential track, and not one of them ever made the winning post. Our Presidents have not been noted for universal speech makine. and manv of them could not make a speech before a popular auuience. wasniDgon ana Jefferson were dumb.

The elder Adams was not a popular speaker. Madison could not "entnuse" an audience. CJumcy Adams was eloquent, but not fond of public speaking. Jackson wa3 a rough but hardly a ready speaker, and he never harangued the people. Van Buren was sly, and weighed every word.

And so on down to Andrew Johnson, President by accident, who ruined his chances for succeeding himself by too much talking. Addison says "I have alwavs pre ferred cheerfulness to mirth. The latter I consider as an act. the former as a habit of the mind. Mirth is short and transient, cheerfulness fixed and per manent.

Those are often raised into the greatest transports of mirth who are subject to the greatest depression of melancholy on the contrary, cheerful ness, tnougn it aoes not give the mind such an exquisite gladness, prevents us from falling into any depths of sorrow. Mirth is like a flash of lightning which breaks through a gloom of clouds ahd glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and FIRST MTMI 1:00 O'CLOCK.

The manufacturers have won, and every mill is running with one exception, the Montauk. which is a bae ging mill, and which has shut down on account of inability to sell its goods. At an early hour the operatives began to assemble about the and the superintendents were kept very busv in preparing the agreement for them to sign. Many workers were eo anxious to go to work that they went to the mills on Saturday, and, after signing the agreement, went inside to oil up their looms, in orderer to start early this morning. Nearly every mill has all the help it wants, except in a few departments, which could easily have Deen niiea to aay so tar as numbers are concerned.

But in view of the mill owners being obliged to clve two weeks' notice to operatives In case they do not prove efficient work men, the superintendent picked out the best amonsr those armlviner and allowed the others to depart. It has been a no ticeable tact that the soinnine depart ments have been obliged to refuse work to about 100 of the old operatives, others having come from abroad last week, securing the places. The spinners, it will be have been most instrumental in continuing the strike, owing to the unity, existing among them. Of course, there is no sympathy expressed for them. Others also will be obliged to leave the city.

At many of the mills to day, women and girls were seen in tears when informed that their places had been filled. i BOSTON, Oct. 4. The first fatal case of the epiznotv occurred here to day. The disease has made its appearance among horses at Concord and Nashua.
