The public may remember that
two years ago we had at this
season of the year a much larger
stock of Photograph Albums than
even so large and varied an as
sortment as ours required. Our
customers being duly advised of
the fact that Albums could be
purchased at exceptionally low
prices, the stock was speedily re-
duced. The circumstances this
year are the same, and for the
next thirty days we will offer
such unparalleled inducements
that any one needing an Album
must find it for advantage to buy
NOW. Pocket Knives and Wal

offer. We feel assured that the
discriminating readers of this
paper will act with promptness.

This Sarsaparillai is combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
OF Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined. that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated. and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

A silver State Carriage.

A Calcutta paper says it has rarely seen any,
thing in manufactures in that city SO worthy
OF notice as a state carriage just tailt for bis
hghness, the Mahara jah of Jheead. 1t IS one
of the most remarkable Outcomes OF the blend
ing of the skill, workmanship, and solid dura-
bility of Western productions with the ornate
and heavy magniticence ct Oriental taste.
It NAV be described as a state ph@ton, with
coach box and hind remble all fitted with
hoods. The body is of graceful design and
very light and elegant IN appearance. but the
peculiarity is that the whole of the panellng,
mouldings, iron-work, springs, wheels and
pole. are covered with massive silver plates,
while the splashboard and wings are literally
solid plates of the precious metal, the whole
enriched with leaves of lotus flowers and
pepal leaves, also of silver richly chased and
heavily gilt, while on the center OF the panels,
also ablaze with gold, are the armorial bear
ings of the Maharajah. The interior is fitted
in the most luxurious manner with cushions
and l1angings of rich blue tabouret, edged
with broad rich velvet lace, heavily embroi-
dered with pure gold. The lamps (four in
number) are of solid silver, richly chased and
Gilt. and bear his Highness' arms upon the
glass. The carriage has been ingeniously
designed with double underframe, so that,
when the Maharsjah may fancy to handle
the ribbons himself, the coach-box be remov-
ed and the wheels brought much closer to-
pether. There is over $4,000 tolahs weight
of pure silver on the carriage.

Crime,

F. B. Sanborn has been collecting facts re-
garding crime and criminals in the United
States The number ot convicts now IS twice
as great as in 1871, the relative figures being
81, 600 and $4,000. The greatest increase is
in Georgia, Tennessee, and several Western
States. Number OF persons in prison as con-
victs, or awaiting trial, is $4,000, OF whom less
than one-sixth are women. About 10000 OF
the whole number are in New York State and
4,200 in Massachusetts where the proportion
of prisoners to population is greater than in
any other part of the country. In the South
the higher prisons are generally made self
supporting by the labor of the convicts, who
are leased to contractors, who may employ
them anywhere in the State. In Arkansas the
contractor pays nothing, but meets all ex-
penses. In Tennessee, Georgia and Mississ-
ippi, stated sums in money, besides expenses
are paid by the contractors. Mr.. Sanborn
figures as follows: ''The general result of the
labor of convicts in the State prisons OF thir-
ty-seven States(for Delaware has no central
prison) falls s 1850, 900 short of the earnings
requisite to support the $4,000 convicts in
those prisons last year. That sum divided a.
mong an average of 1000 State prisoners,
gives an average cost of something more than
$43 year for each convict Ii we add in
the sum paid for the support of short-sentenc-
ed prisoners in jalls, the total cost OF the co.
600 persons in prison throughout the year
1877 would probably exceed So, 600, 900, or
something more than $50 year for each pri-
sOner.

The Funny Things We Do.

Have you ever reflected upon the very many
funny things we do, for which we can give
no particular reason? How is it that we do
not give five cheers? Why is it that we give
three cheers and no more? Who can tell?
Why is it that the ajority of the people use
their right hand in preference to their left,
and cannot help smiling at those who use the
latter?
Why is it that man cannot see bundle of
toothpicks without helping himself when he
does not need them at all?
Why is it that small boy cannot let the
thin-w wasted wasp fly in peace, without fur
iously going for it with his new straw hat;
or why is it that the small girl always insists
upon Juggling home kitten that has not even
learned how to open it eyes?
Why is it that when any one asks US how
many days there are in a certain month, we
always say over to ourselves:
Thirty days has September;
April, June and November?
Why is it that we turn to the right instead
OF the left, when the left is far more prefeIa-
bic, and if adopted would save many an acci-
dent on railroad and highway! The driver
always sits upon the right of his vehicle; in
turning to the right he is farthest away from
the wagon he passes, and unless he is an ex-
pert cannot tell how close he comes to the
wheels of the man who goes by him, whereas,
if be turned to the left side he could look
straight down, see to the fraction of an inch
how close he was approaching an obstacle,
and thus avoid it. The eng gineer runs upon
the right hand track, and sits upon the right
hand side of his cab. The long, narrow loco
motive, with its sand tower, belfry and smoke
stack is in front of him, cutting off his out
: l.: Il
view only his own track, while the opposite
track, save at distance, is almost wholly
unseen by him. On some railroads the re-
verse is the custom.
Custom, owing to cause we know not of,
bas established these curious precedents, and
from observation and education we unwit-
tingly do thousands of things that are, to say
the least, funny, and that we cannot possibly
explain.
