There is no error moro fatal tLnu
Imagining that pinchirg youth in his
pocket money will teach him irugality.
On the contrary, it will occasion his run.
ming into extravaganza with 30 much
more eagerness when ho comes to have
money in his own hands as pinching
him in his diet will make his appetite
only tho moro rapacious. If you put
into tho hands OF your child more money
than is suitable to his ago and discrc-
ton, you must expect to find that he
has thrown it away upon what is not
only idle but hurtful. A certain small,
regular income any child above six years
OF ago ought to have. When he comes
to be capable of keeping au account, he
ought to be obliged to do it; he will
thereby acquire habit Of frugaliLy, at
tention and prudence that will DO OF
service to him through his whole life.
On tho contrary, to give young person
money to spend Mt will, without nc
quiring any account OF it, is leading, or
rather forcing, him upon extravaganza
and folly.

Centennial Guests.

A nice lot Of playthings, in the form
Of three hundred aud fifty live alIigators,
left.the South on their way to the Cen
tenuial at Philadelphia. The hideous
looking reptiles embraced all sizes, from
tho little thing six inches long, Just ont
IT its shell, to ono thirteen ind half
feet in length, named "Biliy." The
latter, n venerable rascal, with rather
rcpulsive countenauce, is supposed to
DO nearly 150 years old, judging by
marks he carries, rs set forth by Audu-
bon aud other naturalists. These alliga-
tors wers captured III the vicinity OF
Pearl river, Louisiana, aud near its en-
trance into Luke PontchGrtrain. tn
ono collection is n small, mean looking
the named "Ned," who has learned to
stand on his hind legs, dance "iuba,"
and play tricks. Ned is about three
years old, and il this precociou5 play
thing keeps on he will DO likely to ride
au net in circus before long. While
tho steamer Robert Mitchell, on which
they aro, lay ut the levec, large
number OF curious people crowded
around the wooden tanks or boxes in
which the aligators ,sported. At one
time Mr.. Bond felt uneasy, and he
called comrado to watch his pets, to
keep the people from carrying of half n
dozen of them to eat. Mr.. Bond feeds
tho alligators on fish. At present they

Gcrmany's Porcelain Ware.

The manner OF presenting the porce-
lain ware in tho German department in
the Main Exhibition building on the
Centennial grounds il artistic md
striking. There is high partition wall
OF crescent shape, dapod with dark ma
room cloth, upon which are suspended
plaques, plates, and the shelves for the
larger goods descend like tho steps OF n
staircase. Enthroned in the center is the
magnificent Victoria vase, painted with
the "Chariot OF tho Sum-" the great
fresco OF Guido REM On each side OF
this are tho Victoria flower vases. Be-
side one OF these is dark gray bodied
Vase OF the most exquisite symmetry,
upon which is painted the great frcsco
OF Kaulbach-the Emperor Otto tho
Fowler visiting tho tomb of Charlie
magnc ut AK Ia Chapelle. Tho painter
WIS inspired with tho subject. and has
succeeded in getting into has work some
OF the wonderful chiaroscuro OF tho
original. The dead hero sits serene aud
awful upon his throne, the awlessscepter
lying in his nerveless hand upon his lap.
Tho magic limp at his feet diffuses such
strong lightthat IN awe.struck barbarian,
in IN attitude OF fear, interposes his
buckler to shut out tho vivid rays. Behind
him are tho king md his attendants,
and the fair face Of the queen, perplexed
in the extreme between terror and
curiosity, afraid to look. and yet dcter-
mined to see. And the vase itself is
worthy of tho painting. 1t is nobly So
we're in its mass, graceful in its outlines,
and chaste in its decorations.

The present party names, Democratic and
Republican, might readily be exchanged for
two others that would designate both more
exactly. In it's present shape, led by the
Calhoun school of public men, and domi-
NAKED by the South, the Democratic may
properly be called the Federal or Confede-
rate party. In fact, we observe that one

Facts for the People.

AS the virtues of medicines only be ascer-
tanned by careful observation it is to be regretted
that many of the drugs still prescribed by some
Physicians should retain place in our materia
medica. AS an instance of this, that vile drug Bal
sam Copaiba furnishes an example About the year
1890 the Spaniards in the Island of San Domingo
having become afflicted with certain complaints,
thought, according to the prevailing notion at that
time, that the remedy might be found where the
disease originated. Under this impression Balsam
Copaiba came into use, but never has nauseatng
drug done injury, for it not only changes the
nature of the disease to dreadful state than
the original, but it ruins the tone of the stomach
and brings Dyspepsia in its worst forms. TIC
| avoid this drug and its effects the SAMARITAN
| GIFT, pure vegetable remedy is within the reach
of all. Only ten pills to be taken and will every
time in from two to four days. Male packages 81

Brides at the Centennial.

OF all the people who live at the Centen-
nial hotels think the newly-married cou-
ples-Philadelphi is full of them by the
way-are the enly ones who are thoroughly
contented and happy. 1t makes no differ
ence to them whether the potatoes are wat
cry, the meats dry, or the soup thin; and
they don't care pin whether people talk to
them or not. They live in little world of
their own, and for time-what pity that
it's 30 short time-they need no conVersa-
ton but their own, have no thought but for
each other. We have all sorts of newly
married couples here now, but notwith-
standing the many various stations in life
which they occupy, and the different parts
Of the country from which they come, they
all act wonderfully alike. They all have
certain marks about them which can be i'm
mediately detected by even an unpractised
eye. In the first place, it is noticeable that
they all act as if being married
was an old story to them, and
still for the life of them they
can't help taking each others hands
every five minutes. Among other things it
| is remarkable that the young men, on the
old principle that "a fellow can't wed every
day." are very extravagant with their mo-
ney. They are so evidently against the
wishes of the prudent little help mates.
Another thing which have noticed is that
the brides nearly all wear new watch-chains,
the young husbands, especially those from
the West, are very particular about their
gloves, and even upon the warmest and
most oppressive day they carry heavy
shawl, in case such covering should be
needed by the dear woman they have sworn
to protect. The patronizlng air of owner
ship which the young men assume is truly
remarkable, while their attempts to answer
the many questions asked by their wives
are sometimes very amusing.-Lette1- to ".

Aud now the inquiry is as to the prospect

STATES LIKELY FOR rILDEN
10 following list OF
DOUBTFUL STATES !:

Now of these staies, Hayes needs to get
only electoral votes for his election, and
Connecticut alone will do it. or Louisiana
will do it. or Oregon and Florida will do it.
OF course New York will far more than do
it. Does any zane man doubt that he will
get out of the above S8 ?
AS matter of probable facts, wa believe
Hayes will carry the whole of the above
doubtful list, with Mississippi perhaps most
uncertain, owing TO the violence of the
White Line outlaws. Hayes would have, in
that case, 26s votes to Tilden's 1O1, and we
should not be surprised TO see that about
the size of Novembers result.
