Who PAYS the Fiddler?

An ambitious youth in Charles
ton, Mass, who has little money
of his own, but a wealthy father,
recently conceived the brilliant
idea of giving a grand party, at
which all the notables of the
country should be present. He
accordingly sent notes of invita-
tion to distinguished men of all
the States of the Union, includ-
ing President Grant, Secretary
Boutwell,, Chas. Francis Adams,
and Horace Greeley, also en-
closing his own photograph
His orders for hall decorations
were liberal, amounting to $12,-
600, flowers alone to the amount
of $4,000 being included. The
owner of the hall refused to al
low the use of the hall without
receiving $500 in advance I; the
young mans father refused to
furnish the money, and the
magnificent party fell through.
The old gentleman, however, has
to spend a few hundreds in tele-
graphing the invited guests not
to come, instead Of several thous-
ands for dancing.

Couldn't Stand the Flute.

COuldn'G stand the Flute.
We have seen in one of the
papers an article upon "The
Powers Of Music" in which the
writer describes how, when he
would play his flute at his parlor
window, toad would come out
from under the front step and
appear to drink in the delicious
melody with an air of rapturous
exultation. This must be the
man who lived across the street
from us. We have noticed sew
eral times that a toad came out
and sat on the step when the
man began to play the flute; but
1--we always thought-it was fol
the purpose of ascertaining what
sort of an idiot it was making
such a horrible racket in peace
full neighborhood. Sure enough,
day before yesterday, when the
playing began, out came the toad,
unable to stand it any longer.
He had another toad with him,
and they went and got the lid
off an old backing box, and
fixed a string to it, and packed
into it their little store of dead
flies and things, and three OF
four small toads, and. all their
domestic comforts, and hitched
on that string and began to move
down the street in search of a
new residence. Yes, animals
have an appreciation of music,
and knowing that fact, we have
often wondered how this toad
stood it so close to the man with
the flute.-MaT Adeler.

The majority for Greeley in
Maryland is eleven hundred and
seventy votes, a result entirely
and altogether owing to the re-
markable fondness exhibited by
some of our friends to stay al
home on election day. We i'm
agine that it will not take much
argument to prove the fact that
it is impossible for the Democ-
racy, no matter what may be
their actual numerical strength,
to succeed at the polls, without
taking the trouble to 60 there
and vote--a lesson that will no
doubt be seriously studied before
another election comes upon us.

The epizootic has its hui
mors, as we'll as it's inconveni-
ences. In many instances ii
was necessary to use men where
horses had been employed before,
andin some localities the former
we're hitched to carts and wa
gons, and did their work in the
most creditable manner. In.view
of this arrangement, the follow
ing reaches us from Maine:
ga large and powerful but
skittish young man, attached to
a handcart, ran away on Main
street, Bangor, yesterday fore
noon, to the great terror of a
number of ladies on the side
walk. He was caught, however
before doing any damage"

Economy i'm Coal.

The most practical suggestion
yet made toward economy of
coal seems to be the use of solid
bottoms in ordinary fire CRATES.
1t is asserted, and indeed proved,
that in any Fireplace not excess
sively small, a plate of iron
placed upon the CRATE will halve
the consumption of coal, reduce
the smoke, and leave a cheerful,
ee-burning fire. Quite sufi-
cient air enters through the bars;
no poking is necessary, and the
fire never goes out till the Goals
are consumed. There is no ash
and no dust, every particle being
consumed. Any householder can
try this experiment., and reduce
his coal bill, say thirty per cent,
at a cost Of a shilling.

THROAT AND LUNGS !
THROAT AND LUNGS !

1t is gratifying to us to inform the public
that DR.. L. Q. Q. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar
Cordial, for Throat and Lung Diseases, has
gained an enviable reputation from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast, and from thence to
some of the first families of Europe, not thro'
the press alone, but by persons throughout the
States actually benefited and cured at his
Office. While he publishes less. so say our re-
porters, he is unable to supply the demand. 1t
gains and holds its reputation
First. Not by stopping cough, but by loos-
ening and assisting nature to throw OF the
unhealthy matter collected about the throat
and bronchial tubes, aohich causes irritation.
Second. 1t removes the cause of irritation
(Which produces cough of the mucous mem
brane and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs
to act and throw off the unhealthy secretions,
and purities the blood.
Third. 1t is free from squills, lobelia, ipecac
and opium, Of which most throat and lung
remedies arc composed, which allay cough
only, and disorganize the stomach. 1t has q
soothing effect on the stomach, acts on the
liver and kidneys, and Emphatic and nervous
regions, thus roacding to every part of the
system, and in its inyfgorating and purifying
effects it has gained a reputation which It
must hold above all Others in the market.

Struggle on to victory.
Never give up when you are
right. A frown is only a con-
traction, and can't last long. A
laugh of derision is but the
modified bark of a cur. If you
can be laughed out of good, or
the good out of you, you are
weaker in intellect than the fool
whose argument is a gufaw,
whose logic is a sneer.

Hearth and H0n1e SAWS th

Hearth and Home says the
thing to hold in the mouth is a
mouthful of cold water, renewed
every few minutes. 1t will take
away the craving for tobacco
quicker than anything else, and
is wholly unobjectionable. A
pine stick is the best of any
thing to chew, but the objection
to that, and to anything that is
chewed, that it over exercises
and weakens the salivary glands.
In quitting the use Of tobacco,
quit at once and not attempt to
quit off gradually.

THE COTTON CROP.

Reports from the following States have been
received by the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change, which show the condition of the crop
to the 10th of August:
MIss1ss1Pp1.-Letters received from forty
counties. The weather has been less favora-
BILE than last year. The rain caused the
abandonment ofsome lands. The plant is re-
ported we'll formed and boiled. A few cor
respondents report damage from caterpillar.
Reports in regard to the area planted indicate
fully as large if not better than last year.
LoUIs1ANA.-The condition of the crops in
this State is about an average, but picking
will be fully two weeks later than last season,
commencing about the 10th of September.
Fifty letters were received from thirty parish
es. The majority of our reports complain of
excessive rains, and represent the weather as
having been less favorable than last year. The
plant is generally represented as being we'll
fruited, though we have some complaints OF
shedding The worms are reported, but they
have done little or no damage. The area un-
der culture is estimated to be about equal to
last season. Most of our correspondents give
September 1 as the time that picking will
probably commence, or say two weeks later
than last year. The general condition of the
crop is represented as being good.
TExAs.-Fifty.one letters were received
from forty-two counties. Most of our cores
pondents complain of too much rain, though

dier, to fight with limbs unencumbered. 1t is
probable that shields and spears were at one
time in common use among the Western
Indians, as among uncivilized nations of other
quarters of the globe. The introduction of
powder and ball has, however, made the
shield comparatively useless. They are still
occasionally to be met with though not as
common as when Catin sketched with une-
qualled fidelity the manners and customs of
Dakota tribes. Among the Southwestern
Indians, more particularly the Comanches,
shields are in general use, being efficient to
fend off theMexican spear. The editor of the
Byran (Texas) appeal describes one taken
in fight in March last. The shield was an
exact circle, eighteen inches in diameter.
The body was as stiff and unyielding as board
and five times as tough. 1t was made of the
thick hide of the buffalo's neck, Thoroughly
dried, and almost as impenetrable as iron.
On one side it was decorated with fancy belt
ing and strings for use and ornament; the
other had covering of fancy buckskin, stain
ed with different colors, ornamented with
beautiful feathers, the tail of civet cat, and
a young womans scalp.
