"lt is now fixed fac, that whoever
may be the choice Of the people for this

competent man-one who has all the
qualifications necessary to the discharge
Of lie manifold and arduous duties. Both
OF the candidates now in the field are
gentlemen who enjoy the esteem Of the
teachers, and have made themselves con.
spcuous in all tina. tends to promote the
educational interests Of the county. II
Mr.. BTney accepts the nomination.
and we do hope he will do so-,he
choice can be loft with the people with
out one word on either side, as the defeat
Of one candidate will ensure the election
Of the other, equally competent, equally
trustworthy.
We are gratifed that the Wig press,
who have been unanimous in their sup>
port Of Mr.. Andrews, are no, backward
in acknowledging the fness of the
nomination OF Mr.. Brney. Our fears
that the contest for School Commissioner
would resul. iu a bitter and senseless

can look with composure upon the
coming election. allowing each one to
choose as his individual party inclination

Simplicity of Dress,

Female loveliness never appears to so
good advantage as when set off with SIM
plicity OF dress. No artist ever decks his
angels with towering feathers and gaudy
jewelry; and our dear human angels, il
they would make good their title to that
name, would carefully avoid ornaments
which properly belong to Indian Squaws
and African Princes. These tinselries
may serve to give effect on the stage or
upon ballroom floor, but in daily life
there is no substitute for the charm OF sim.
plicity. A vulgar taste is not to be dis
guised by gold and diamonds.
The absence of true taste and real re-
inement or delicacy, cannot be compen.
sated for by the possession of the mos,
princely fortune. Mind measures gold
but gold cannot measure mind. Through
dress the mind may be read, as through
the delicate tissue the lettered page. A
modest woman will dress modestly; re.
ally refined and intelligent woman will
bear the marks Of careful selection and
faultless taste. @

Gypsies in the United States.

thas been generally supposed that gyp-
sizes we're unknown in the United States
until their recent advent into New Jersey
and Virginia; but correspondent of the
Philadelphia Gazette, at Bangor, writes
that they have been known in New Iamp-
shire, Maine and Massachusetts,, for near.
ly one hundred years. According to tra-
dition they were brought from England to
Portsmouth, N. H., by gentleman who
endeavored to train them as household
servants. He failed in the attempt, and
his gypsies afterwards betook themselves
to the barren and inhospitable plains in
the now town of Darlington, some twenty
miles north west from Portsmouth, where
they and their defendants have resided in
novels, issuing forth from time to time a.
mong the people Of New Hampshire, and
the borders of Massachusetts, and Maine,
disposing of baskets and other articles Of
manufacture, telling fortunes, &c. They
are to day but little in advance, in point
of civilization and the decencies of life OF
those who have, within year or two, EN-.
igrated to Maryland, New Jersey, &c.,
though their blood is less unmixed with
that Of the Yankees. All efforts to reclaim
them from their wandering life have prov.
ed futile; hence they are permitted to fol-
low the bent of their inclinations, without
let or hindrance, unless they commit some
henlous offence.

A aFuru Trade.

The Vincennes Patriot relates the fol-
lowing incident in the history Of an old
and well-known citizen, (now deceased, }
for many years engaged in the fur trade
in Vincennes, which will be new to a ma
jority of our readers. and decidedly too
good to be lost:
On certain occasion he sold gun to
a customer, which gun was to be paid for
in fur, within certain time. The time
passed by, and nothing was heard from
the buyer Of the gun. 1t was ascertained
that he had left the country. Several
months afterward the following letter was
received from him:
MIR. M. S.-Dear sir. am out here in
Iowa four hundred miles from Vincennes.
II this is not fur enough to pay for that
gun, will 60 further.
Respectfully, &c.,
OF course that was considered fur
enough, and receipt in full was sent.

~ In the present state Of European
affairs, the following letters may be read
with interest. Thirty years ago, Russia
was at war with Turkey. Jefferson, when
he wrote this letter, was go years Of age,
and John Adams go.
MONTICELLO, June 1, 1922.
To return to the news OF The
day; it seems that the Cannibals OF Eu-
rope are going to eat one another again.
A war between Russia and Turkey is like
the battle of the kite and snake; whichever
destroys the other, leaves destroyer less
for the world. This pugnacious humor Of
mankind seems to be the law of his nature;
one Of the obstacles to too great multipli.
plication, provided in the mechanism oi

kill one another; bears, bulls, rams, do the
same; and the horse in his wild state, kills
all the young males. until worn down with
age and war, some vigorous youth kills him
hope we sh all prove how much
happier for a man the Quaker policy is,
and that the life of the feeder is better than
that of the fighter. And it is some con-
ISOLATION that the desolation by these mani.
acs OF one part Of the earth is the means
Of improving it in other parts. Let the
latter be our office; and let us milk the
COW, while the Russian holds her by the
horns, and the Turk by the tail. God
bless you, and give you health. strength,
good spirits, and as much Of life 40 you
think worth having.
