MISCELLANEOUS.


The Floral Hall is unusually well filed
this year with everything that is attractive,
and calculated to show what excellent in
dustry can attain. There are specimens of
nearly all kinds of handcIaft already on
exhibition here, and more articles are com.
ing in daily. The ladies, each and ell, de-
serve the highest praise for contributing 20
this department, and they seem to be actu-
ated BY entirely unselfish motives, namely
to assist in the advancement and promotion
of our county enterprise. The many things
displayed here, each merits special mention,
but we cannot recollect one half the nice
things we saw, and if we did, could not ap.
propriately describe them.
The paintings and drawings attract
special attention, on account OF their great
beauty aud brilliancy; we never saw a
greater diversity Of designs, and variety
comprising everything from the falls of
Niagara to a newly Matched brood Of chick
ems. The silver ware offered as premiums
by the Association, are in a case in this hall,
and present fine appearance. The arti-
cles were purchased of Mr.. Roulet, of this
city. Our friend A. w. Judd has fine
display of photographs that reflect much
credit on him. There is fine display Of
quilts, homemade carpets, crochet work,
lair work and embroidery.
In the way of farm products there are
splendid specimens of apples, beets, carrots,
pears and dried fruits. To the epicureaa,
there is nothing here so attractive as tho
excellent selections of jellies, pickles and
wines. There are several pyrsmidal dis
plays of jellies that it seems cannot be ex-
celled. Mosby & Co. and John Kelly have
nice cases in which are exhibited variety
of everything in their line, consisting OF
saddles, brides, etc. John Kelly has s
beautiful set of single harness, which he in
tends sending to the st. LOUIS Fair. There
are many other things beautiful and inter-
esting, which to appreciate each one must
see for themselves.
THE FUN AHEAD.
The most interesting part OF the pro-
gramme is yet TO come of, and we suggest
| that our merchants make some arrange
ments to allow their assistants to visit the
Fair at least one day. To day two fine
trotting races come of, and tomorrow
pacing race. On Saturday the Fair closes
with most interesting programme. dhe
grounds will be largely attended to-day, TO
morrow and Saturday. Let there be 8
generous effort made to render this exhibit

The New Postage Rates.

The most important change in the code
is that respecting miscellaneous matter
transient newspapers, magazines, pamphlets
sc. On this class the postage is just half
what it was under the old law-that is, such
matter can now be sent, in parcels not
weighing over twelve ounces, at one cent
for each two ounces. A one cent stamp
will therefore carry any magazine or pack
age of newspapers which does not weigh
more than two ounces. Book postage I'M
der the new code is two cents for each two
ounces or fraction thereof Book manu-
script for publication in newspapers and
magazines must be paid for at letter rates,
which remain as heretofore. Nothing
weighing more than four pounds, except
Congressional documents will be received
in the mail.

"GOOd for this Date Only"

The railroad ticket agents are bothering
their brains just now over the question
whether passengers may "lay over" and re
sumo their journey at pleasure, or whether,
when they have once quilted the cars, they
have forfeited their tickets for the remain
der ofthe journey. The courts have already
decided that man who buys ticket, as
it were between Boston and New York, has
the undoubted right to stop at any place
upon the road and to resume his journey at
his leisure without buying another ticket.
The legend, good for this date only" has
no value in the eyes of any, save railroad
officials, and the law has decided that any
action taken by conductors with the view
to enforcing the implied contract is illegal.
There the matter should be allowed to
rest. The public is satisfied to leave it, and
the railroad companies ought not to COM
plain. fla man buy ticket in Boston and
the company receive the money for it, there
is no reason why they should refuse to car
ry him thither, or why they should wish to
force him to do it to suit their convenience
instead of his own.-Ne0 York Commercial
Advertiser.

Walter Hunt, who is said to be the orig
inator of the first successful paper collars
was one of that useful race of inventors who
seldom receive their full reward. He had
been experimenting for years in machinery
for sewing purposes, and it is claimed per
fected an invention which, but for his pc.
cuniary embarrassments, would have prov.
ed the first successful sewing machine. He
was compelled to abandon this field, how.
ever, and after obtaining some twenty pat
ents for new and useful inventions, he turn.
ed his attention to the manufacture of col
lars and cuffs of paper. In 1854 he made
his first collars. Having secured the aid
of business men, who saw new and profit
able trade in his invention, he gradually
got his collars into market.
To wear a collar made of paper was re-
garded as a sign of poverty, and people
ridiculed the idea of substituting paper fol
linen. But Hunt was confident that paper
would triumph, and persevered. His first
collars were made Of paper which was in.
tended for very different use. He tried
Bristol board, thick writing paper, What
mans drawing paper, parchment paper
but each one Of them was deficient in some

another would not fold over without crack
ing; still Others were of bad color, and
none were of sufficient strength. He then
tried FASTING two sheets together with q
strip of muslin between yet while this an.
s" cred in many respects, it did not afford
all the advantages he desired.
His friends became discouraged with his
long-continued and costly experiments and
advised him to abandon the idea and turn
his attention to something more feasible
But he was confident that collars could be
made of paper; and, as he could not find
the proper kind in market, he determined
on trying to make it. He built small rag
engine, and made numerous samples Of
thick strong paper; but, after spending a
large sum of money in this way, he aban-
doned his attempt and returned to the man.
ufacture ofwhat he called cloth-lined paper
He perfected machinery which obviated
all his difficulties in FASTING the cloth and
paper together, and at length after an out

were crowned with success, and merchant
able paper collars, which could not be dis
tinguished from linen collars, except by
handling, were given to the world

A NEW CURE FOR BEGGING.-One of
the petty kings in India has proved him
self to be a shrewd statesman. He has
been troubled by swarm Of beggars i'll
his kingdom, and idleness was rapidly in
creasIng. The evil was so alarming that
he resorted to strong measures to euro it.
He ordered that all paupers found begging
should at once be compelled TO learn to
read and write. The law operates well in
two ways. Some of the most worthless
idlcrs prefer little easy work to study,
and they take to some kinds of labor to es-
cape begging and its penalty. Others are
glad of the opportunity of an education,
and they make intelligent and skillful la
borers. The King, in his desire to promote
education, has also ordered that the fami-
lies who cannot well spare their children
for school on account Of poverty shall re-
ceivc a certain allowance from the State.
Light is evidently spreading in India.
