The state of the political betting market seems to

the public upon the subject which may also be In

accustomed to dispoIt themselves in the pools may
not understand the meaning of the words I" bluff

there are in the betting business, wheels within

he may not be so much backing his own opinion as
trying to break down the opinion of his opponent.
big bet by no means proves big hand. In 1910
the Democrats continued 10 bet handsomely on the
election of Van Buren, up 10 the last moment though
his chance had become little thinner than ghostly.
Ever since his nomination, the supporters of Gov.
Tildcn have been trying the experiment OF unmltl-
gated and Unprecedented Boosting taking his
triumph for granted from the start, although there
has never been a time when the odds really were not
decidedly against him. The sporting men of the
party have their orders; but those who make bets
do not always by any means put up their own
money.

SOUTHEkN DAY AT THE EXPOSITION


When the South had her innings at the Ex-
position fortnight ago. she chose IA peculiarly
Southern mode of celebration, The tournament,
in which young Virginians have displayed
their proves ut Summer watering-places for
wears. More than hundred and fifty thou
sand Southcrncrs gathered about the lists to
see the thirteen brave knights careeilng
around them with painting steed and pointed
lance. 1t was only an iron ring they charged
ON. TO be sure, but the fervor of excitement
was inst as high as when the Disinhcrlted
Knight bore Front de BGuf to the ground, and
the triumph and defeat as keenly felt. The
city was full of Delaware peach-growers and
MARYLAND planters and their wives. The Nir-
cinia cottage was crowded with black mus
tached knights from Fauquier and Henrico,
and women talking in that unmistakable sweet
sbrill treble which belongs to the old State.
The difference in the moving masses Of
people from those that filed the palaces of the
Exposition on any of the days set apart for
New England States was curiously marked !:
the features of their faces were less compact
and sharp, the voices thicker and OF better
tone nobody, although the time was so short,
was in a hurry, nobody intent on displaying
his knowledge or on adding to it. 1t was on
the whole goOd-natured. leisurely crowd of
people, who had always plenty of time in the
midst of the ravages and ruin OF war, to find
all the amusement in life, and to turn now

The closing of the public schools of large
city like Jersey City. in the middle of the
years work, would be a calamity with cOnse-
ouences that would radiate on all sides, and
might outlast a lifetime. Some measures
ought TO be taken speedily to prevent this
mishap. While the teachers should be moder-
ate in their demands, they ought not to be re-
quired to serve a city without pay. Her pub
lic-spirted citizens should see to this.

Secretary Robson appears in the New-Jersey
canvass, according to a letter from that state
printed yesterday, and his appearance Is
not hailed with delight by thoughtful Republ-
cans. The spirit which nominated Gov. Hayes
and passed by the superserviceable apollo
gists for the blunders of the Admins
tration has not been modified by any sub
sequent phases of the campaign. Whether Mr.
Robeson is innocent and prosecuted or guilty
and adroit to escape detection, we need not
now inquire. 1t is sufficient to know that his
presence repels the vote which is needed for
success. 1t is due to the citizens OF New
Jersey to have immediate and authoritative
assurance that they can vote Republican
ticket without voting for Mr. Robson.

..Facts are Stubborn Things,

Thousands of human beings are yearly borne on the

cause they do not possess sufficient knowledge of

salutation is, How are you?'' or "H0w is your
health?" The reply frequently is, s'Oh, am well,
with the exception of cold" Most persons lightly
regard cold. Reader, do you know that cold is
one of the most dangerous of maladies? cold not
only clogs up the pores of the entire SYSTEM and re-
tards circulation, but it is productive of Catarrh.
which is quite apt to lead to Consumption. "Oh,
you say, sit is nothing but cold in my head"
True; but that cold is really mild form of Catarrh
and if arrested in its will become chronic
Catarrh is of the most disagreeabe, offensive af

the nose is obstructed the sense of smell impaired,
and there is dsagreeable sensation of pressure in

discharge having offensive odOr. If the disease be
allowed to continue in its course, thick, hard incrus
tations will form in the head, the bones of which
sometimes become sofened and break away in pieces
Why will persons continue to suffer from such
noying, disgusting disease, when they can just as
well be cured of it? Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will
the worst forms of C3tarrh; in fact it is the
ly and safe remedy which has yet been offered
to the public. Many harsh, irritating preparations
may for time, relieve the urgency of the symptoms
but they do not cure the disease. Dr. Sages Catarrh

Successful Pear Orchard.


We copy from the Rochester Rural Home
the following account OF the dwarf pear
orchard of Eli Taylor, of Elba, Genesee
county. N Y.
Mr.. Taylor bought 1 200 trees, of the Ouch
ess variety, just ten years ago this fall, and
as he planted them ten by ten feet, they COW
cred about 2 "a acres. A few, perhaps fifty,
have persisted from blight and other. causes.
Few or none died from the effects of trans
planting, For ten years they have received
no manure, but crop of potatoes has been
taken off every year. The branches have
been kept shortened in, so that trunk and
branches are strong and stocky, and do not
bend much under their heavy burden of fruit.
The heads are oval in form, the leaves and
bark are of bright and healthy color, and
all things indicate that the trees are luxuria-
ting In their proper soil, and receiving the
right kind of treatment.
These trees, loaded with their heavy bur-
den of large, smooth fruit, are worth going
hundred miles to see. In 1870, when they
had been planted five years, they bore q bar
rels, which sold for $203.60. The next year
they yielded $50 barrels; third year. 220 bar
rels; the fourth, $50 barrels, and the indica-
tions are they will yield, this year, over 800
barrels.
He has sold the present clop to Ell. Walker
OF LIE Roy, who sends men to pack them in
balf barrels, making two classes, one of the
larger and the other of the smaller sizes, and
stores them in his fruit-house, kept at a low
temperature by means of ice, where he keeps
them till they will command the highest
price, when be sells them at a good profit.
He pays Mr.. Taylor $3.50 barrel for the
fruit.
Let us resort to figures and see how dwarf
pears are paying Mr.. Taylor this year; 300
barrels, at $3.50 a barrel amounts to the
nice little sum of $1,650 which, divided
among 5 "a acres, gives 5000 as the gross re-
ceipts from an acre.
The four crops harvested before this year,
brought him in all, 1882, and adding the
value OF this years crop, we have the sum
