"It's a clean sweep for Cleveland, and don't you forget it," cried the man on Park row, as bo held np a toy broom or namented with flags. ''Here's the choice election trophy only half a dime five cents." "I'm a Maine man," said a passer-by. "If you had a Rlaine broom I'd buy it." "Hero yon are sir," exclaimed the fakir closinc one lid of his satchel and opan ing the other whero he kept his Hlaine brooms. xiere you are. sir, ouiy uau a dime." 'I don't want j-our brooms," said the Blaine man finding himself cornered. "That's tho way wo ketch 'em," said tho peripatetic salesman. "They try the snme bluff the Republicans are trying on tho result, but when you show 'em the fig ures they back right down, what do I Siy for tho brooms? I make 'oni myself, y partner and I saw a feller with 'cm ono day. but wo couldn't find out no way where ho got 'em, so at first wo bought some little paint brushes and rushed 'em nut on the street. They sold like hot cakes but my partner said thov were too big. Then I cut 'em down with my knife hacked off some of the handle and every body bought one. Now we mako 'em. We get the broom part at the broom fac tories for twenty-fivo cents a pound, and a pound's enough to make a gross. The flans aro seventy-five cents a gross, and the sticks or handles are butchers' skew ers that cost 1.25 a thousand. Perhaps they cost us a cent apiece, and wo sell 'em for five cents. "We're doing a slash ing business to-day," he continued, hand ing tho pedestrian the change for a dol lar. "That feller took ten; wants 'em for a club, and 1'vo got nn order for 150 to morrow for the narade. My partner's out buying stuff and making 'em up fast as he can, but they sell faster. It's noon now, and I've got "over 2 in my clothes, and the day hasn't begun." "Goin' ter matinee 'a afternoon, Bill," asked the man with a toy-fighting cock on his hat, a hen on either shoulder and a box full of election favorites hanging from his chest. "Be big day with women folks and kids," he added, disposing of a rooster to an old gentleman fired with political excitement which ho had vainly endeavored to quench with whisky. "Mcs half-cocked now, it he never was before," continued tho vender, is he watched the old man fasten tho rooster on the shoulder of his overcoat. "You see, we buy these roosters and hens to gether, but we sell 'em separately. Now I hold up a fighting cock, and it goe3 for half a dime, see? Now here goes the hen to this kid. Ho cannot tell a rooster from a hen, so I make a nickel on him, too. Yon newspaper fellers gave us the first pointer on roosters, because you put 'em in the papers. We rushed all over town to find something like it, and struck them at a wholesale house in Chambers street. We pay 5 a hundred pair for tho large size and 4 for the small. At five cents apiece that gives us 100 per cent profit. I'm going ter a matinee ter day and ter-morrow, so's ter ketch tho women with these roosters." Georee B. Park of No. 47 Renwick street, who has been in the business for a good many yesrs, said: "It's competi tion that knocks the bottom out of our business. There are so many imitators hanging abont ready to rush a thing on the market cheaper than some one else sells it. We sold brooms at 10 cents to begin with, but now they are only Scents. The little brown pigs thatwere out awhile ago sold for 10 cents, and the picture of Belva liockwood and Ben Butler was good for 5 to begin with, but they're all in the hand3 of boys now, and, oi course, they're no good if a boy makes 5U cents a day ho s satis fied, but it won't content a man. These engravings of tho candidates aro now sold by boys for a few cents. They get them at campaign stores, where they're selling off their stocks for little or noth ing. We're getting ready now for the parades that are sure to follow. If both parties have processions it will be a har vest for us. wnen the Cleveland people had speaking at tho academy wo sold more brooms and roosters than on any other aay. axj partner ana l nad a splendid dsy. Now on Tuesday nicht we sold out everything we hpd mado up, so we took out 300 papers and made $3 apiece. That was a big day." The toy house in Chambers street where the venders found tho most ponu lar gooas lor me election laiu in ineir stock of roosters a year am. "We er pected to sell them at Easter time with eggs," said the proprietor. "Since Fri day of last week wo nave sold 40,000 pairs and if the venders sold them separately they unloaded cuakhj roosters on the pub lic, and it isn't Thanksgiving yet either. Of flags we sold 200 gros3 or 28.800 in the same time. I speak only of flags for brooms. We had orders for Pbout two hundred gross from Philadelphia and all over tho country. Other houses must have done an equal business in flags, but we were tho only one that had roosters. Of small badges casting from two cents to ten cents wo sold $8,000 worth, or about 1,008,000." 2V.

Berry vs. Hargrave & Hellon was dismissed in tho Gnitod States circuit oourt yesterday. The plain tiff (Berry) is a ship broker at Astoria. He secured a cargo for tho ship Wallace town, belonging to defendants, who are Liverpool ship owners, and claimed a commission of $8G9. This not being paid, he attached tho Oakworth, belong ing to defendants and was about to libel her when the matter was settled and tho suit dismissed. Oregonian, 30. Its Wonderful Kfllcacy. No remedy ever discovered possesses the wonderful efficacy of Syrup of Figs. The certainty with which it expels all impurities from the system, at the same time giving tone to the Liver. Stomach, and Bowels, places it ahead of all other remcdiestto say nothing of its being more easily taken. It is selling very rapidly. W. E. Dement & Co. are agents for Astoria. FLEETING RAIIjROA$,;GRANTS. y .". v Wo happened io go cast on the same train that carHedSenator Dolph and conversed with him, about the bills pending for revoking railroad land grants. There are several bills for revoking tho .Northern Pacific grants, ono of which-contemplates taking away from' the company all lands earned since the:.timo fixed in the granting acir- It seems likelv, however, that the sorapany will hold lands earned up t ttKo time such re voking act may jisL' It 13 claimed that covern meht'iaawvaived its right to the land by no, enforcing, by suffi cient legislation, itho termination of tho grant. It has not,done this; tho company has continued to construct its road, in good faithj and the gov ernment, through its interior depart ment, has confitmed tho lands so earned to tho Corporation, all of which strengthens tho claim of the company to the lands adjoining the road it has completed. A principle of the common law is quoted, by which a party having been permitted, without question or hindrance, to complete a contract, tho failure to en force a penalty or restriction is deemed a waiver or. the ngut to do so. Senator Dolph seems to consider tho company entitled to all the lands it may acquire up to tho timea bill shall pass congress as he has introduced such a bill himself. It is known that he has radical views and no doubt claim all that cau legally be taken from the road. His bill revokes the grant from "Wallula to Portland.where the O. K. & N. Co.'s line is built, and on all uncompleted portions of tho Cascade branch, and elsewhere. It is said that no lawyer in tho senate (which is mainly made up of distinguished legal gentlemen) believes that congress uas any power to dispossess the Northern Pacific of the lands it has acquired or that may be earned by construction of its roads up to the passage of a re voking act. The title of the com- pam, then, to lands along tho lino of tho Cascade Branch, now building and to be completed soon, is appar- i ently secure. This being a.matter of 1 importance to the public as many settlers aro anxious to locate within the Cascade grant, we have taken pains to secure the most reliable in formation, and give it to the public Tho views of the, TJ. S. senato being rindm-slnnd and 'na decisions of tho U.S. supremo xourt furnish prece-i dents as the legaLprinciples involved, I is may oe consiuereu ruasonauiy cer tain that the Northern Pacific Bail road Company will hold the land on all the line of road it shall complete during 18SL Willamette Farmer Nov. 23. The Bark Carrie Winslow Wants S1G00. Damages William Barrett, master of the bark Carrie Wiwslow, has instituted suit, as libellant, against the O JL &: Every attention paid my customers, and N. Co. The complaint alleges first, I lhti l)0t set eforc u'e' in flrst cIab5? tyle that during tho month of January, 18S0, the bark, Carrie Wimlow, ' while lying at iNew lork, waa char-;lH tered by William H. Starbuck, acting tor me u. as. s iN. uo., to carry a car- go of railroad iron from New York to Portland; second, that O. H.Pres cott, representing the O. B. & N Co. in this city, and William H. Starbuck, knew that said bark would require lighterage at Astoria. It is further stated that tho vessel arrived at As toria on the 5th of August, 18S1, when the master called on E. A. Noyes, the O. B. & N. Co.'s agent at that place, and requested lighterage, and that he also wrote to C. H. Pres cott, who refused such service, al though the O. B. & N. Co. had appli ances suitable for such service at hand. It is claimed that on this account the bark was delayed eight een days at an expnse of S3J per day, or $1620 in all, this being tho amount claimed. The defendants have pre pared a bill of exceptions, which were argued and submitted Saturday in the United States district court. The exceptions state that the libellant al leges that under the charter it was tho duty of the consignee to provido lighterage, but tho defendants were not prepared to admit that either their charterer, William H. Starbuck, or the consignee. C. H. Prescott. act ed as agent for the O. B, & N. Co., or tnat that company was otherwise in terested in the charter than as one of tho several owners of freieht with which the vessel was loaded. Dii the contract of the parties require the charterers to provide lighterage that is, boats" and barges to lighter the vessel, or only to pay for such lighterage. Exceptions "wero also taken as follews: 1st That said libel does not show thatlibollant has sustained any dam age in the matter of said libel, nor that defendant is indebted to libel lant in any sum under the charter party set out in said libel or other wise. 2nd. That said libellant hath not by his said libel shown himself enti tled to recover from this defendant the relief therein prayed for, nor any reiier. uregoman. X "Women's Exchange."
