WE don't know thing about it, but ven
ture to predict that the proposition for now
county to be made from Northern Penob-
scot, Washington and Southern Aroostook
comes very largely from gentlemen eager to
serve the new county of Appleton, as sher-
IFS, judges of probate, registers of deeds, etc.
II 1t is SO, aren't these gentlemen asking too
much Of sufficiently taxed people?

A MAN in South WATERFORD has read the
the account of the "haunted house in Spring
vale" published in the PRESS and noticed the
offer Of ten dollars to any man who would
stay IN the house over night, and he writes
US to know who it is that wants to employ
man to interview ghosts and adds that if the
party will ''show him the scrip he will show
the man." We can't give the name of the
man making the offer. L. B. Davis of South
WATERFORD, is the man who engages to put
that $40 where it will do him some good.

THERE can be no doubt but that thou
sands of SorSingmen feel severely the stag
nation resulting from last falps panic; but
IS iule they are too intelligent and sensible
to become the tools of few imported agi-
tators who have attempted to stir up sedi-
ton in several of our principal cities. In
New York when the International leaders
attempted to get up demonstration Of a
threatening character in the name of work
ingmen, representatives of the various labor
organizations denied that they, as body,
sympathized with the communist disturbers
and denounced their plan. What has proved
true iu New York respecting the action of
laboring men, will hold true in ali of our
cities aud all over the country.

BUYING CHEAP THINGS.

Only the rich can afford to buy poor
articles. SoIOman says, "the destrHc-
tien of the poor is their poverty" and
thus it comes about :-In the matter
of shoes for example, q poor man
thinks he cannot afford six dollars for
pair of shoes, SO he buyes at three
dollars and in three months he must
buy again four pairs year amount
to twelve dollars, whereas the six
dollar pair, made to order, with a
fresh soal, perhaps, would have lasted

chases muslin at II or l5 cents a ward.
when by giving 90 or % she would
get fabric that would wear a third
longer aud give double the satisfac-
ton, beside making immense saving
in stitches. In dress goods the same
rule applies, unless one intends to buy
at every change of style and variety.
When we buy dress, the purchase is
for life time, and always of the best
quality. not the most expensive, but
such as will wear and look well as
long as a thread is left. If one can't
afford to buy the best, let her go with

house keepers buy poor calicoes, poor

cheat cloths for suits, that they are
always hurried to death with sewing,
Children's clothes wear out so fast
that they must eYermore be making
new, whereas if the fabric, in the first
place, is of excellent quality and well
made up it will last two or three chill

SOME ADvIoE.


Don't talk too lDud. Wise men do
not stop to consider the braying of an
ass.
DON'T make long prayers. Remem-
ber that the Lord has a great deal to
attend to.
Don't sponge a newspaper. Dry
jokes are better than wet sheets.
Don't nurse your wrath. Better let
it die of neglect.
Don: waste your breath in grum-
bling. You will have no gas bills to
pay in the next world.
Don't imagine that your child can
do no harm. Vice, like virtue, may
be inherited.
Don't stoop to the level of black
guard. The world will waste no SYM
nathy on the man who breaks his own
back.
Don't imagine that you can cheat
the devil out of his own. He is sup
ported by the best legal talent of all
ages and from every cline.
Don't worry about your neighbors'
vices. Self forgetfulness is not always
virtue.
Don't fail to maintain your dignity
in presence of the boys. Familiarity
with Tom and JeIry has ruined
great many men.

FROM the Virginia City (Nevada)
Enterprise. we copy the following
1t is a well-knoWn peculiarity of
our Washoe rivers that they sink into
the earth. Each river empties into
what is called its 'sink," or lake.
None of them get out of the State or
empty into the sea. This curious fact
was once curiously accounted for by
a queer old fellow who made his home
in the shadow of Mount Davidson.
in this wise: The Almighty, at the
time He was creatin' and fashionin'
this 'ere yearth, got along to the Sec
tion late on Saturday eVenin'. He
had got through with all the great
lakes, like Superior, Michigan, Huron,
Erie, and them had made the Ohio,
Missouri aud Mississippi rivers, and,
as sort of Windup, concluded to
make river that would beat any
thing He had done in that line. He
started and traced out Humboldt
river, ANY w rtifzer river, an Reese
river, an all the other rivers, an lie
was leadin' of 'em along, calkelatin'
to bring 'em all together into one big
boss river, an then lead off an let it
empty into the Gulf of Mexico or the
Gulf of California, as might be most
convenient; but as he was bringin'
down and leadin along Ills branches
-Truckee, Humboldt, Carson, Walk
er, an them-alI at once it became
dark, an not bein' able to carry out
His plan. He just tucked the lower
ends of the several streams inter the
ground whar they war, an they've
stayed there ever since."

There was a breathless silence as
Kite went methodically about his task,
craning his long neck and peering
around him in the gathering twilight.

room rose with excitement, all except
Emory Sudler, who fell in a dead
faint, and Kite, who, crying, she's
gone :" crouched and hid his eyes,
shuddering.
Judge Robinson adjourned the court
at once. Next morning Emory Sud-
Ter was missing, and Matthew Merritt
came into court and confessed his
share in the conspiracy. Testimony |
was taken for two days longer, both
to show what Emory Sudler's charac-
ter was, and to prove the affectionate
relation that had subsisted between
Sylvester aud his wife. Then the case
was given to the jury, who had al
ready agreed upon their verdict from |
the moment of Kite Stinson's dra-
matte testimony, and the opportune
of the ghost in the court

ABOUT NEwspAPER.

The Louisville Courier Journal has
the following sensible remarks regard
ing the management of a newspaper:
'Some people estimate the ability of
a newspaper and the talent of its edi-
tor by the quantity of original matter.
It is comparatively an easy task for a
rrothy writer TO pour out daily a col
umn of words-words upon and any
and all subjects. His ideas may flow
one weak, washy, everlasting food,
and the command of his language
may enable him to string them togeth-
er like punches of onions, and yet his
paper may be a meager and poor con-
Germ. Indeed the mere writing part
of editing paper is buta small por-
ton of the work. The care, the time
employed in selecting, is far more
important, aud the tact of a good edi-
tor is better shown by his selections
than anything else and that, we know,
is half the battle. But, as we have
said, an editor ought to be estimated
and his labor understood and appre-
ciated by the general conduct OF his
paper-its tone, its uniform consistent
course, its aims, manliness, its dignity
and its propriety. To preserve these
as they should be preserved is enough
to occupy fully the time and attention
of any man. If to this be added the
general supervision OF the newspaper
establishment, which most editors
have to encounter, the wonder is how
they find time to write at all.
