BUSINESS.-There is a good deal of
talking in Philadelphia, among the
brokers about o certain fast young
with millions.
The young man would not work,
and the old man could not bear an
idler, and many were the quarrels be-
tween them.
At last, the old man, quite out of
patience, said:
"Now, Jack, I give you one week
to make up your mind to what busi-
ness you are to go to. No son of mine
shall be lounger, and go to work
you shall. At the end of this week,
if you have made no choice, I will
stop your allowance altogether, and
make you take stool in my office,
and work enough you'll have of it
there.n
Well, Jack promised to look around
and make up his mind.
At the end of the week, sharp and
peremptory, as was his way, the old
broker sung out:
"Well. Jack, times up; have you
made up your mind to make your own
living?n
"Well, father, I've been thinking
of it, and have something in my
mind, but it will require considerable
capital"
"Capital, Jack! capital, my boyW
said the delighted father. "Only try
to make your own living, and I'll buy
you a pational bank or line of
steamers! What is it, Jack? What is
it?'
"Well, father, was thinking if you
would only advance me three or four
hundred thousand dollars, l could in
vest it in Government bonds, and make
my living by cutting off the couponsvn
The old man never talks to Jack any
more about "business.

A shrewish, hypercritical, conceited
Boston belle at Newport has been
making herself unpleasant to her ac-
quaintances by her supercilious prone
ness to snap up verbal lapses. One
afternoon a New Yorker, determined
to "get even," sent her an invitation
for drive in his new "dog cart.n
The invitation was accepted, the lady
all ready, and after waiting half an
hour, miniature boa aodgon, draaon
by ts0o dogs, with white harness, was
led up to the door by colored groom
in handsome livery. "This, madame"
said the gentleman, "is my dog cart,
pray allow me to assist you in" The
lady retired in towering rage.

1t occasionally happens that railroad
magnates get at loggerheads to such an
extent as to result in saving money to
producers, shippers and travellers. This
seems to be the case 10 the railroad war
now existing between the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and the Baltimore
aud Ohio Company. Thomas Scott is
prime mover for the former, and Mr.
Gabett for the latter company. The
fight is brisk one, and We trust, the
end Is not nigh. 1t is an old adage,
that, when rogues fall out, honest men
get their dues. How far this may ap
ply in this ease, We know not; out we
are quite sure the result will be favor
able to honest men, to say the least.

The Island Pond Nuisance.
Secretary BrIsfOw makes Decision AID.
verse TO Portland.

The Boston Journals Washington special
printed yesterday morning, says ''The Secre-
tary of the Treasury has finally settled the
question which has been so long in dispute be-
tween the Collectors of Portland and of the
District of Vermont relative to the transporta-
ton of bonded from Canada. The decision is
against Portland. The Secretary says that
the regulations of March 30, 1875, are TO super
sede all Others He construes these regulations
in this way under the statutes, treaty and reg
ulations:'
The provisions for sealing cars under consul
lar manifest do not apply to this class OF goods,
SO as to excuse them from the necessity OF en-
try at the first port but that an entry thereof IS
indispensable before they can be permi tied to
traverse the territory of the United States.
Such entry, however, need not necessarily in
cluGe an entry for expectation, but may at the
option of the person duly authorized to make
the entry consist only of entry for transporter
ton in bond, conditioned in the usual manner
for delivery of the merchandise to the Collector
at the port of exit from the United States.
The Treasury Department has made an en-
tirely new arrangement of the customs divi-
sions as provided by the revised regulations.
A general appraiser is to be assigned to each
division, and will supervise the apprasements
and discharge the other duties of his office eX-
clusively within his division. The following
constitutes the first division: The districts of
Aroostook, Bangor. Bath, Belfast. Castine,
Frenchman's Bay. Kennebunk, Machias, Pas
samaquoddy, Portland and Falmouth Saco,
Waldoboro, Wiscasset and York in Maine.
The are all under General Appraiser who has
his residence in Boston.
The Boston Journals Washington cores
pondent having made some very damaging
statements relative to certain fees imposed by
frontier collectors for blanks, makes retrac-
ton in Saturday evenings issue to the effect
that the statement is incorrect.
The Advertiser enters into computation to
show that it costs $1.10 more to make an entry
of sealed cars at Island Pond than here, exclu-
sive of the blanks. This does not include the
amount paid by consgnees to attorneys at Is
land Pond. For instance an entry for a mer-
chant in this city made at Island Pond cost
$4.15 which, if made here, would bave cost but
81, as he would have saved the expense of $1.5O
paid to an attorney at that place.

ANNIVERSARY OF ODD FELLowsHIP.-Last
evening the Odd Fellows of this city celebrated
the fifty.sixth anniversary of the Order which
has spread so rapidly the past ten years in all
parts of the country, with appropriate, yet less
formal displays than usual. The most of the
lodges voted to join in Band Concert and
dance in City Hall, which was very success
full affair. Chandler and his associates never
appeared to better advantage, which is saying
all that can bessaid in their praise. The floor
of the hall was just comfortably occupied in
the dances without being crowded, and all
seemed to enjoy the amusement with real zest,
and the galleries iwere filled with interested
spectators. Many of the Knights and quite a
number of the members of the lodges appeared
in regala. Reed served the refreshments in
Reception Hall in his best style. The occasion
on the whole was most pleasant affair,
At Odd Fellows Hall an anniversary meet
ing was held under the auspices of Maine
Lodge No. 1, The exercises consisted of short
addresses interspersed with singing. Speeches
were made by j. E. Haseltine, p. G. M, and
Past Grands Blethen, McCobb, Woodman,
Barnes and o. FL. Fling, Esq. Excellent
music was furnished by Mrs. Merrill, Miss
Cummings, Miss Webster, and Messrs. Frank
Sweetsir and Amos F. Hall. The meeting did
not break up until ten o'clock and was of a
very interesting character.

SPELLING MATCH AT LIMERICK.-The mania
has at last reached Limerick and last Saturday
evening quite large number of the citizens
assembled at the town hall to enjoy the sport
which this novel entertainment afforded. The
sides were marshalled by Mr.. A. V. Moore and
Mr.. G.. D. Hill, each one having force of
% persons Mr.. G. I'll. Hunter, principal of
the high school, acted as leader, and Rev. Mr.
Sewall was chosen umpire There were about
275 words given out. The word desirable
placed one young lady in very undesirable sit
uation, as it was the first word missed, and
was rewarded with primer. The word 'psy-
chical' caused many to step down and out.
The contest was at length left for Mrs. S. O.
Clark and Mr.. H. H. Burbank to decide, and
after disposing of some very difficult words, in
a sharp contest for victory, Mrs. Clark was
awarded lthe prize, Worcester's unabridged
dictionary. The lady put up he prize for
another match, which will come off soon.

In consequence of the recent illness of the
Rev. Mr.. Terris of Gorham, the Congregational
society of that village unanimously voted to
give their pastor vacation of three months,
and will supply the desk during his absence.
1t is believed that an interim of rest will fully
restore the health of a very devoted minister.
A spelling match between "The boys and
girls" and afterwards between 'The old boys
and girls" will take place at the vestry of the
Congregational society this Tuesday evening
