The Cedar Rapids Times, has the
following concerning the prepara-
ton making for the State Fair, at
that point:
"Those having tie matter Of pre-
pairing the State Fair grounds in
charge, have got it into ship-shape,
and have gone to work in earnest.
We have examined the plans Of the
grounds and buildings, and do not
hesitate to say that they are all that
the most exacting committee could
ask, or the most fastidious could
wish for. A great amount Of labor
and calculation has been expended
in laying off the grounds, the entire
enclosure of 55 acres being laid out
in squares Of 100 feet, and the
elevations of each square marked.
The drives, walks, location of the
buildings, driving-track, &C., are
all laid out with mathematical
precision, and the whole has very
picturesque appearance. The stock
company having the matter in
charge have an authorized capital
Of s25, 900, twenty-one thousand OF
which has already been taken. The
balance is in market. The estima-
ted cost of improving the grounds,
including the fence, is sl6.550.
The work will be pushed ahead as
fast as men and money can make it
90, and we can assure all Interested
that it will be done WE'LL"

Success Makes Enemies.

They who are eminently success
full in business, or who achieve
greatness, or even notoriety in any
pursuit, must expect to make enc
mics. So prone to selfishness, to
petty jealousy, sordid envy, is poor
human nature, that whosoevcr be-
comes distinguished is sure to be a
mark for the malicious spite Of those
who, not deserving success them
selves, are goaded 10y the mcritcd
triumph Of the more worthy. More
over, the opposition which origi-
mates in such desperate motives is
sure to be of the most unscrupulous
cha, acter, hesitating at no iniquity,
descending to the shabbiest bitter
ness.
Opposition, if it be honest and
manly, is not in itself undesirable.
The competitor in life's struggles
who is Of true mettlc, depreciates
not opposition Of an honorable char
actcr, but rather rcjoices in it. 1t
is only injustice or meanncss which
lie depreciates and dcspises; and il
is this which the successful mus,
meet, proportioned in bitterness Of
times to the measure Of success

A Remarkable Operation.
From the Buffalo IN. Y.1Courier.

From the Buffalo IN. W Courier.
We have had occasion lately TO
note several curious tricks Of the
dentists, such as using hand-organ
for an an1sthetic, leaving a whole
county in Pennsylvania toothless,
ETC., but case is reported in Phila-
delphia which surpasses them all.
The facts as reported are these: A
young lady, fourteen years old, the
daughter Of Isaac Thomas, Of New
Castle, Delaware, received severe
injury in the face about four years
ago, from the effects of which her
lower jaw-bone had grown perfectly
solid and immovable. Her front
teeth had been removed to enable
her to receive nourishmcnt, which
had to be injected mostly in liquid
state. The Inconvenience Of this
arrangement and the total loss of
speech rendered life almost intoler-
able, and her case was laid before
the most eminent surgeons in Phit-
adelphia. After mature dclibera-
ton, two Of them, Doctors Chas. D.
Green and J. Gilbert, undertook an
operation which has scarcely par
allel in the annals of surgery. The
jaw-bone was sawed off below each
socket, kept in motion until healed,
and a new, artificial joint was the
result. 1t is said she can now open
and shut her mouth as we'll as ever,
eats and drinks without difficulty.
The piecing out of fragmcntaryj jaws
and limbs is not uncommon, but this
insertion of an artificial joint among
living tissues is something new.
The stiffjointcd victims of rheuma-
tism may take courage again. Pos
sibly the new trick will be to slip
silver hinges under the knee pans or
diamond pivots into the spinal col
umn, thereby increasing ones agil-
ity and diminishing the wear and
friction in those parts Of the body.

hour over the fire of discomfort, kin

strain it through the rag Of Miscon-
ccption, cork it up in the bottle of

skcin of Street Yarn; shake it ocea-

be fit for use. Let few drop be ta-
ken before walking out, and the sub
jeet will be able to speak all man
ncr of evil and that continually.

From the Portsmouth (O.) Tribune, sth.
We published some time since a
description of new railway inven-
ted by J. c. Grew, Stcubenville, (O)
which we have thought deserves
some consideration. 1t is stated
that 4 railway of this description
can be built at one-tenth the cost
of the ordinary railroads, which
would be about the average cost Of
our turnpikcs per mile. At first
thought railway, with cars and
locomotive propelled upon one rail,
strikes the reader as an impossible
ty, but description of the plan
makes it appear more plausible.
The model, carrying a car upon
which three persons rode, is con-
structed of one iron rod, three
quarters of an inch in diameter,
msunted at the apex of pyramid,
with wooden base eleven inches
in width and seven inches high.
The editor of the Stcubenville Her.
aid says the train moved as smooth
ly as flowing water, and he was
impressed with the chcapness and
safety of the system. The secret
of this peculiar tramway consists in
its revolving flange, which renders
it impossible to leave the track. In
a word, it is combination of safety,
speed and cheapness; while it can
ascend steep grades and turn short
curves with ease and safety.
While such n road might not be
adapted to general use, it would
probably be cheap and expeditions
means Of transit for local travel
and traffic, especially in country
like Southern Ohio, where the
roads arc mostly confined to the
narrow and winding margins of
little streams intcrsecting road per
mile, Scioto county could well afford
gradually to have little locomotive
snorting through every hollow, and
whizzing around or over every
wooded hill, at present accessible
only to the OK team of the bark
pccler and hoop-pole hunter. Fur
mace men manufacturing iron at a
distance from railroad or river trans
portation, at the mercy ofmud roads,
might find it to their interest to
combine with their neighboring
landowners and build one Of these
cheap railroads, when they would
have regular and expeditions
means of transportation at all sea
sons of the year. Very little land
would be required for the right OF
way, and most Of the work could
be done by the persons interested
along the route, at times when they
could contribute labor with en-
barrasSmcnt.

Old Starks, an honest German,
had farm about three miles from
the village Of Naples, on the Hi
nois river, and like most Of his
countrymen who settle in this coun-
try, was great on garden truck, but
ter, eggs, ETC., which he carried
regularly to the town to sell or bar
ter for family supplies. One day
he came in as usual, and Pete Crit
ser, the storekeeper, thinking to get
a "saw" on the old man said: Well,
Starks, got some more eggs, eh?"
"Yah, | hav'n a few" 81 paid You
a bit for the last" said Critser, "but
we've had a convention Of the store
keepers, and have resolved to give
only ten cents in the future" "
"Y-a-h. Voll, mine hens dcy have
a mectin'," replied Starks, "an' dey
resolves wot dey won't wear 'em-
selves out layin' eggs for less as

stalked off, leaving Pete to stand

SIGNATURE EXPERTS.
Facts for Business Mon.

\
S. S. Packard, noted as a skillful
penman, writes to the New York
Nail concerning "signature ex-
perts," the occasion being the late
"Taylor will ease" which turned
in great measure o. the genuincness
Of the tcstator's signature:
More than twenty years ago, in
Cincinnati, l copied the Declaration
Of ofIndependence, appending .tac sim
lies of the signers' names. Mr..
Thomas Stevens, at the same time
editor of the Cincinnati atlas, took
occasion in pleasant way to doubt
my assertion that l had copied the
signatures with pen. To con-
vince him, l asked him to sign his
name on piece Of paper, which he
did. Immediately wrote ten cop
les of his signature, above and be-
low the original and handed him
the pat cr to select his own. After
careful examination he selected
one as his own. He was wrong.
He tried again and again, with the
same result, and finally, by mere
guess work, he hit the right one.
And it was a remarkable fact after
he had really discovered his own,
he could see the most astonishing
absurditics in all the others.
Some six years ago l was speak
ing with a well-known publisher of
this city, who sat at his desk sign
ing some checks that the book-kecp-
cr had prepared for him. The sig
nature was Of the firm, and was a
peculiar one, as he wrote it. / cas-
ually remarked that it was an elc-
giant signature for a forger. He
promptly responded that there was
no forger that could sign that name
so as to deceive him.
"Oh, yes, there Isl" said l.
"Where is he?"
"He is standing at your elbow" "
"Do you mean to say" said he
"that you can initiate that signature
so that l cannot detect the for
gery?"
II mean to say" said l, "that l
think can do it, and am willing to
try it," :.
eff you will write that signature, "
he replied, $50 that cannot distin-
guish it from my own, l will"
"Therc, there, don't be rash; l
should dislike to take advantage of
your present excitement. If you
will just write the signature at the
top of that letter-sheet, We'll see
what little impudence can do"
He did as requested. l took the
sheet and went to the book-keeper's
desk. Here l exchanged it for an
other Of the same kind, and in the
same relative position l initiated
the signature in very free, careless
way, not attempting servile copy,
but preserving the characteristic
strokes. l then very carefully
wrote underneath it three faithful
signatures, all my own. These l
took to the proprietor and told him
to select his own signature. With
surprisingly little effort he pointed
out the first signature, and at once
began to criticise with severity my
base limitations.
"Well," said I, 'I will confess
they are not as we'll done as l ex-
pected to do them, or as l could do
them if my nerves were steady.
But, really" said l, "don't you
think that if one of these signatures
were placed at the bottom of your
ordinary check, your bank would
honor the check?"
"Well, no." said he, II don't
think 1t would"
II suppose" said !, "thcrc is no

Truth in Opera.

One night when Carlotta Patti
was in Brooklyn she sang with Fer
ranti. Just as the buffo singer was
leading her out the door to the plat
form, some one in the room behind
him cried out that his coat had
burst at the seam in the back. 1t
was too late to reccde, for the audi
ence had seen him, and the two
singers advanced to the footlights.
But the knowledge of this mishap
took all the humor out of Ferranti,
and the duet (Which was sung in
Italian) was so dolefully devoid of
the usual humor that Patti noticed
it before they were half through,
and dropping the text of the song,
she fitted the following words to it
in Italian:
"What is the matter with you to-
night? l don't understand your
nervousness. Nobody laughs at
you"
Whcreupon Ferranti, in melliflu-
Gus baritone, and equally mellitluous
Italian, responded:
''By the Virgin, l have bursted
my coat. Everybody will laugh
when l am going off,
At this unexpected interchange
Of personal feelings, Max Maretzex
and his orchestra began to laugh
immoderately. Then the people in
the front seats, seeing the orchestra
and the artists laughing, joined
themselves, and the merriment
presently broke ont in applauses all
over the house.
"Ah!" said one Of Brooklyn pa
papers, "there is always something
majestic in Fcrranti's singing OF
that song. People burst into SYM
pathetic laughter without being
able to tell why"
