The committee takes occasion to
urge upon the Republican voters of the
county the Importance of attending
these primary meetings and selecting
good and efficient delegates to repre-
sent them In this convention.
The affairs of our county require a
thoroughly economical administration,
and we believe that a large portion of
the taxpayers of the county, without
regard to party, look to this convention
to present candidates, each of whom
will be a guarantee of an efficient,
honest and economical administration
of the affairs of the county. With the
nomination of such a ticket we are full
ly assured of success, and we again hope
that every member of the party in this
county will take sufficient interest In
the public welfare to attend these
primaries.
By order of the Republican County
Committee. Z. p. Snow,
Chairman.

Time for Matrimonx.

Among the ancient Germans,
than whom a finer race never ex-
listed, it was death for any woman
to marry before she was twenty
years old. In this country very few
ladies are fit, either physically or
mentally, to become mothers before
they reach the age of twenty-one,
twenty-five, or two years older.
The unsound condition of parents
is usually transmitted, with in
creased intensity, to the offspring.
BY the laws of Lycurgus, the most
special attention was paid to the
physical education of women, and
no delicate or sickly women were
on any account allowed to marry,
DR.. johnson, in his work on the
ECONOMY of Healthi,' says that
matrimony should not 6e'eontract-
ed before the first year of the fourth
septennial on the part of the lady
nor before the last year of the same
in the case Of the gentleman; in
other words, the female should be
at least twenty-one years Of age and
the male tWenty-eight years.-Er.

The Firat card in Greece.

An interesting incident in the
life of the late DR.. Howe is told by
the Boston Herald: CATER the war
he taught the Greeks in the arts of
peace, like a true Yankee as he
was, and the first cart ever made in
modern Greece was built under his
direction. Twenty years afterward,
when he rode alone into Greece on
horseback, he was seen and recog-
nized by a peasant woman, who
spread the intelligence of his arrival.
He was Immediately surrounded
and borne upon the people into the
neighboring city, upon the site
where he had founded village.
At this time the Greeks were in the
enjoyment of a fresh triumph over
their ancient oppressors, and in the
right mood to welcome their former
ally and friend. This incident in
the life Of DR.. Howe was derived
from a Greek newspaper of the
time, which some friend in that
country forwarded to Charles Sum
ner."

Thousands of persons have heard
at various times of exhibitions of
educated fleas," but probably very
few in this country have ever seen
them. There is such an exhibition
in this city at the present time, and,
although not advertised, save by a
placard in front of the building
where it is to be seen, there is a daily
attendance of 400persons to witness
this very novel sight. The pro-
prietor calls himself Prof, Barto-
lotto, and claims to be the original
inventor of the show, and all other
exhibitors of trained heas impostors,
The professor is over sixty years
old, and has been engaged in this
business for forty years. He is a
quaint individual, and his dicourseS
upon Aeas are serious upon his part
as if he were reading an essay
upon metaphysics. The man sit;
behind a small table, covered witt
a white cloth, and his Liliputiar
apparatus are marvels of mechanica
skill. The feas are larger than th'
lively creatures which are usually
so troublesome. He manages K
attach them to the performing
instruments by means Of in6nitesi

The Largest photographs in the
World.


The Sydney (Australia) Evening
News gives an account of the two
views of Sydney, taken by Mr..
Holterman on negative plates, one
Of which is five feet by three feet
two inches, and the other four feet
six inches square. Apart from the
size Of the two pictures, they are
splendid specimens of the photo
grapher's art, the outlines being
sharp and clear, and the various OBJ
jects shown coming outprominently
before the eye.
The difficulty of producing pic
lures of such size can be best un-
derstood and appreciated by photo
graphers, among many of whom
the belief is prevalent that it is not
possible to execute photographs of
such magnitude. In addition to
the separate large prints, Mr.. Holt
erman has executed a panoramic
view Of Sydney and the harbor
thirty-three feet in length, and the
whole of the perspective is shown
much clearer than can be seen by
the naked eve.

NAL girths of silk fiber around their
bodies. They are released from
this bondage at six pm, and placed
in harness early in the morning.
Upon being released Bartolotto
allows them to feed upon his arm,
and he seems to enjoy their feeding
quite as much as they relish it.
What is strange about these edu-
Gated feas is that they never strive
to escape. After their feeding he
picks them up one at a time and
places them in a compartment of a
small circular box, each space num-
bered, and though it requires un-
common credulity, he assures
visitors he never makes a mistake
is assigning his feas to any rooms
but those which belong to them.
They never get into wrong rooms.
1t is impossible, without seeing
them, to conceive Of the feats per-
formed by these educated insects.
The first process Of training a wild
flea is to place it in a sort of a
tread-mill with glass sides; it is
called the preparatory school. The
flea hops around, beating against
the glass sides madly enough at
first, but when it finds escape i'm
possible, begins to walk on the
bottom, and thus takes literally the
first civilized step. The following
are selected from the programme,
and, writing from personal obser-
walton, can assure you that there
is no humbug in it:
l. Coach drawn by two feas, the
coachman with whip, two feas in
side all dressed.
2. A miniature steamer drawn by
one flea, dragging six hundred
times its own weight.
3. A model street car drawn by
one flea (this shows the wonderful
strength Of the flea-the car anC
contents is twelve hundred times
the weight of the insect),
4. A ballroom with orchestra,
dancers, etc., represented by fleas.
The motion of the violin-bows ant
the waltzing by fleas upon the foo
of the ballroom is perfect.
There are various others, such a.
turning windmills, drawing buckets
from miniature wells, and a so-calleC
duel in which two fleas fence will
tiny swords of real steel.
