Gross & Nickel, Frostburg, are day or

Ready to provide for the last said rite
of death which comes unfailingly to all
Strong or weak, rich or poor, and short or
tall
Superb Baskets and Collins claim their
care.
& ever the best you'll always find there.
Now, this sad duty we all must confess
Is best done where it's special business.
Careful and complete are their facilities,
known and acknowledged their abilities
Each thing we need they'r re ready to supply
Living-our furniture-or, if we die,
Undertaking our burial, they'll promptly
Needtul attention to all our friends say
depending on this they will be the choice
Executors to make the mourners rejoice
Rega ard both the dead and these who
They cheerfully accord all they can give,
And to their desires do ever attend
Knowing themselves as the mourners' true
friend
Even amid sorrow great joys they impart-
Zeal and true-to the sad, desolate heart,
Saddci as 4earer the friend with whom
we part.
Much as we love life, yet still we must die,
And the mystery of the next to try.
lnthis sad time oul friends may do farworse
Negecting to employ the nice, fine Hearse
Specially devised to show lawful pride
To all the friends Of the one who has
died.

The opinion is expressed in military circles
that the regular army appropriation bill will
not be passed soon after the extra session of
Congress, which convenes on the 18th of Octo-
Der. 1t seems that joint resolution will be
passed soon after that date appropriating the
necessary money to pay the rank and file of the
army, but on account of the determined effort
to reduce the army the regular appropriation
bill may be put off till the last pf the extra
session or the first of the regular session.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, June %, 1877.
Sir-I desire to call your attention to the fol-
lowing paragraph in a letter addressed by me
to the Secretary of the Treasury on the conduct
to be observed by the officers of the general
government in relation to elections: And no
officer should be required or permitted to take
part in the arrangements of political organiza-
tions. caucuses, conventions or election cam
paigns, and their right to vote and to express
their views on public questions, either orally or
through the press, is not denied, provided it
does not interfere with the discharge of their
official duties. No assessment for political
purposes on officers or subordinates should be
allowed. This rule is applicable to every de-
partment of the civil service. 1t should be
understood by every officer of the general
government that he is expected to conform his
conduct to its requirements.
Very respectfully,
