We are in receipt of letter from gentle
man of Fort Fairfield, who says he will send
US a new subscriber for the Sunrise, or So, if
we will give him nine inches advertising space
one week in advertising Fort Fairfield High
School. What he wants done will cost US 50,
and he proposes to pay us IS, provided he
does not send us the name of a subscriber.
He says he offered Mr.. Gilman subscriber,
or 81, and he did the job. 1t makes no differ
ence to US what price others work for. When
we get SO hard up for subscribers as to pay
that sum for. them or do work for that price,
the Sunrise will 60 "where the woodbine
twineth," alias up the spout" We have pre-
pared a somewhat elaborate article under the
caption of "a Business Talk" upon the prop
er manner of conducting business in general,
upon publishing newspapers in particular,
and this offer for our advertising space es-
pecially. Aroostook Sunrise.
We copy the above because it presents an
illustration of the idea that some people en-
terrain in regard to the province of newspa-
per-that it is the vehicle for Wholesale puff
ferry and flattery, and that the publisher is a
hard man if he rejects articles that are so hon
estly designed by his friends to help ''fil up
his columns. The advertising space of pa
per that is good for anything, is valuable, not
only to the publisher, but to the public, and
all should feel interested in keeping it from
becoming absorbed by "deadheads" and "bum-
mars"

The Philadelphia Collectorship.

The appointment Of Mr.. Seth l. Comfy as
collector Of the port Of Philadelphia sets at
rest in a most fitting manner the various sur
misses which have gained publicity from time
to time. Although Mr.. Comfy had been in
no manner personal applicant for the posi-
ton, it has been known for some days past
that the President had had his name under
favorable consideration, and the announce
ment, therefore, is not altogether surprise.
Of the propriety of the choice we cannot
speak too warmly, and we doubt if the selec-
ton of any other name could have met with
more general favor. As merchant and as
a citizen, Mr.. Comfy holds the highest rank
for integrity and probity so that we may COR
fidently look for such an administration of
public affairs as will reflect credit upon him
self, upon the city and upon the republican
party, of which he is a staunch and and I'M
compromising member. Thoroughly versed
in the mercantile wants of Philadelphia, and
one of the ardent advocates Of every recent
measure that has tended to the fostering of
our prosperity, our new collector will take
his seat determined to bend every energy to
the advancement Of our commercial suprem-
acy and to the proper and conscientious dis
charge of his duties to the government.

An Excellent Record.

President Grants enemies have made it a
point to dwell upon his appointments of rela-
tives to Office, and among others who have
been spoken of with disparagementi is Collec-
tor Casey of New Orleans; but if all the
Presidents appointees can show as good re-
suits in the management of their offices as
Casey can for his management of affairs at
New Orleans, it will be well for the country.
Prior to the incoming of Gen. Grants ad-
ministration New Orleans had become the
depot of smugglers, and the revenue of the
government were decreasing annually. Col
lector Casey set about to make a reform, and
with the most satisfactory results, as shown
by recent investigation of a special agent of
the Treasury. In 1868 the value of the inn
ports at New Orleans was 50 800, 900; in
1869, $l5, 000,000; in 1870, $1S,000,000; in
1871, S18,6Il, 900. The duties collected in
these years were in 1868, 81, 250, 900; in 1869,
81 300, 900; in 1870, 5,73l, 249; in 1871, S5,-
G79, 143. The increase in the value of i'm
ports for 1871 over 1870, and the decrease in
the revenue is explained by the reduction of
the tariff which went into effect Jan. l, 1871.
But the most gratifying exhibit is in the re-
duction of the cost of collecting the revenue,
which shows the Office to have been conduct
ed on basis of the utmost economy.

Reception of the Jananese Embass
At Washington.

The japanese Embassy reached Washing
ton on a special train from Baltimore shortly
after o'clock this afternoon. They were
met at the depot by Mr.. Morris, the Japanese
charge d. affairs, accompanied by Gov Cooke,
Gen. Chapman and Gen. Myers, who were de-
tatched by the war department to take charge
of the embassy. The Getting between Mort
and his countrymen was intimately cordial
After brief salutations, Gov. Cooke was intro
duced and welcomed the distinguished gen.
tlemen to the capital of the United States,
after which he introduced Gen. Myers, who
he told them would have them in charge, and
also to Gen. Chapman.
Iwakura replied very briefly, returning
thanks for the cordial welcome, and without
further ceremony the entire party entered the
carriages in waiting, and were driven to their
hotel. The ladies of the party were taken to
Georgetown, to the residence of Mr.. Lanman
secretary of the Japanese legation. The
gentlemen of the party occupied about fifty
rooms at the Arlington House and two entire
buildings on the opposite side of Vermont
avenue.

WHAT IS VIrALIrY?-Some philosophers
call it Animal Magnetism, some Nervous
Force, others Caloric, but by whatever name
it may be called, the thing meant is the main
spring of existence; it is the principle we in
herit, and which may be nourished by proper
attention to the requirments of the body and
the avoidance of excuses; it is wasted or
destroyed by overtaxing the mind with study
or anxiety and Incorporate indulgences, in
deed it requires an expenditure of vitality for
every thought or action. When the body and
the brain are well balanced, the stomach is
capable of restoring the waste; but when the
brain is large in proportion, the stomach is
incapable of supplying it; in other words, the
expenditure is too large for the income. Here
lies the cause of so much suffering from dis
eases ofthe Heart, Liver, Stomach and Lungs,
and Fellows Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites is the only preparation known which
ly the power to overcome disease.

Aggravated indigestion.

Persons who are predisposed to dyspepsia, find
their suferings from this greatly aggravated
by damp weather, easterly winds, and sudden
changes from mild to chilling atmosphere. In
the pring therefore, the pangs of Indigestion are
seriously augmented by the atmospheric variations
peculiar to the season, and it is incumbent upon
all who desire to pass through the ordeal ofts cold
mists and insalubfious gales with easy stomachs,
and untormented by the ndescribablc torments.
which accompany dyspepsia, to tone and strength
en- the digestive organs with healthfui and ef-
fective vegetable invgorant; and no one at all
familiar with the medical record of the age, can
question for one moment that HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters is the Tonic best adapted to this purpose.
The credentials of the Great Restorative are
equalled in number and character by those of any
other advertised medicine In the world. If ever
there was u preparation to rank as a National
Remedy, this wonderful specific has fair claim
TO the title. For a period of twenty years it has
literally been the Champion Tonic and Alternative
this side of the Atlantic. In popularity is has
never been approached by any Of its wOuld-b
competitors, and its annual sales far in adj
vance of those of any other medicine of its class,
that comparisons would be ridiculous Cne of two
conclusions is inevitable. Either the American
people are deficient in common sense, and lncapa-
Bile of rational discrimination, or Hostetter's
Bitters is the best preventive remedy for indiges-
ton fever and ague bilious remittent fever, con.
stipatOn, rheumatism nervous complaints, and
all maladies of an epidemic endemic type The
reader will judge tor himself which of the two con-
illusions is most consistent with fact and reason.

Attempted Assassination O
Queen Victoria.

London, 20. A miscreant this afternoon
fired pistol at Queen Victoria while riding
on Constitution Hill, but happily without ef-
feet. The would be assassin was promptly
arrested.
LATER.
Special to N. Y. World.
AS the Queen was re-entering the Court Of
Buckingham Palace, after a drive through
the Park to-day, Alfred O'Conner, a Fenian,
10 years OF age, sprang over the wall, rushed
up to the carriage, struck the Queen on the
breast with an unloaded pistol, at the same
time presenting petition of amnesty to
Fenians, exclaiming; "Sign or die" Prince
Arthur who was seated in the carriage with
the Queen, knocked the man down. OCon-
ner was seized and conveyed to prison. The
Queen was perfectly calm. When OCon-
ner was questioned he said las design was to
frighten the Queen into doing justice to Ire
land.
LATEST.
London, 29-midnight. The excitement
on account of the attempted assassination of
the Queen is great. Crowds are still assem-
bled in the streets discussing the news and
awaiting further particulars.
An official statement of the facts was
promptly made in Parliament this evening,
which when it became known outside greatly
relieved the public anxiety. While the
House of Lords were discussing in committee
the ecclesiastic bill, Lord Granville entered,
and said he hoped their lordships would ex-
cuse the sudden interruption of the proceed
ings, but he had an announcement to make
which was desirable should be made without
delay. He then proceeded to state, that
about half-past five this evening, the Queen
returning from a drive, had reached Buck
ingham Palace. As the carriage stopped at
the gate, a young man ran to her side and
presented pistol within foot of the Queens
head. The Queen bent her head down to
avoid the shot, but the pistol did not ex-
plode. The fellow in one hand held papers
granting release to Fenian prisoners, which
he shouted to the Queen to sign, threatening
her at the same time with pistol.
The would-be assassin boosted that he
tried to reach the Queen on Tuesday during
the procession.
The Queen was very calm and showed that
courage which she had often before exhibited
