Do not fail to go and hear Rev. DR..
Talmadge at the Opera House tomorrow
night, and learn to look on the Bright
Side of Things Here is a specimen,
from an eastern paper, of the emotions
excited by his eloquent oratory:
"We thought, last evening, as we
looked on the audience, now unrestrain-
ed in it's merriment, now hushed so that
we could hear the clock solemn ticking
keeping time to the speakers utterances
people seemingly afraid to breathe
lest they should lose word-we
thought to ourselves, here is the perfec-
ton of oratory; here is dominion abso-
Lutte, undisputed; here is mind linked to
mind, receiving it's sustenance from one
superior to it's own, ready to acknowl-
edge its subjection-equally touched in
its soberest and merriest moods-now
unsealing its fountain of tears, and, in
the next instant, feeling gaiety and
gladness without an alloy"

ssOdds and Ends"

Those "Succulent Items" from the
Greeley of the Iowa press, quoted in
your last issue, were not bad, especially
that referring to the clergy. 1t is a
fact that people are beginning to learn
that it is more the man behind the SER
mon than the sermon itself, which tells
for the good Of church and people.
The temperance cause must be strong
ly rooted in merit to endure the odium
cast upon it by the army Of itinerant
frauds la Allen ct al, ct al.
The man who said that insurance in
duced more fires than it retrieves losses
won't have to try again to tell the truth
The enterprise of most towns is not
found among the money" men they
contain, for proof of which look-any-
where
If gambling so invariably ruins the
man who practices it, who wins all the
money lost?
The tallest "high" known for years in
Independence, followed Drew's cold wa
ter effort. AS some predicted, it didn't
last, but gave many the blues before
leaving.
The man who fails to appreciate some
Of these rare fine days is fit only for

so much more in Manchester than indie

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY:-The Cen
trail depot was broken open last Satur-
day evening, between 9 and 10 o'clock,
by gang of five tramps, three of whom
entered, and two remained on the out
side to give the alarm in case they were
discovered. They were seen by some
of the employees of the road, who hap
pened to be near the depot, and who at
tempted to capture them. The rascals
heard the alarm, and one Of the three
who were inside made his escape by a
window, before the pursuers came up.
The other two were captured as they
were getting through the window, but,
watching their opportunity, they broke
away from their captors, and escaped.
An examination of the interior of the
depot showed that no damage was done,
beyond breaking in the door of the tick
ct window The money drawer was not
disturbed, but probably would. have
been, had the rogues been given more
time. This is the first deviltry we have
to chronicle this season, by the perigrin-
ating fraternity, and we shall undoubt-
edly have many more to detail ere cold
weather freezes them out.

New Understandable. John Hage-
man, of Manchester, No. blacksmith,
and a genial gentleman, has removed to
this city, where they will open new
blacksmith shop. We have the best of
evidence that Mr.. Hageman is a first
class workman, and that he can give sat
isfaction. His shop is located on Wal
nut street. The following notice of the
gentleman, we take from the Manches-
ter Press:
Mr.. John Hageman, who has been
with Whitman u Hamblin, for some
time past, part of the time as one of the
proprietors, but lately as their black
smith, left for Independence, Tuesday,
where he will open shop of his own.
Mr.. Hageman is No. l workman, and
we predict for him the patronage which
he honestly deserves.

The Glorious Fourth will soon be
here, when everybody expects to be
more or less annoyed, according to tenn
permanent, by the swapping Of crackers,
torpedos and like instruments of juve-
nile discord, and is accordingly bracing
up for the ordeal. We do not think it
too much to ask, however, of the dealers
in this ear-splitting merchandise, and Of
the city Marshal, that they take meas
ures to save the public from the infic-
ton during the three weeks yet inter-
vening before the National Anniversary.
Let Young America bottle up its en-
thusiasm, and it will be all the more

The DEBORAH Republican of last week
has the following appreciative notice of
the founder and late proprietor of the
Greenback organ in this city:
We see it stated that Eugene Hunt, formerly
the manager of the Greenhouse in this city,
has started greenback paper. called the Id
uOcdtG, at Independence. We candidly think
this is remarkable instance of the right man
finding the right place. MIR. Hunts one of the
most fluent takers and writer's we ever met;
and he is possessed of an imagination so vivid
and fecund that it will supply him with facts
and figures to meet every emergency Of debate
or illustration; while in the domain of fiction, he
can soar higher and sail steadier in the realms
of ETHEREAL nothingness, than any person we
ever met. We shall be surprised If he does not
prove bright and shining light in his party,
and take rank at once in the front as leader
One attribute of Mr.. Hunt is not men
toned above-his volatility. He has
already exhaled out of greenback jour-
nalism and is seeking other fields for
the exercise of his genius.

UNDER THE DAM-Two boys-Willie
Herrick, and son of E. E. Backus-
while fishing just below the dam, in a
boat last Saturday, got into the back
water current and were sucked under
the dam, the boat capsizing. The river
was quite high, and the water at that
point boiled up fercely. Young Her
rick was drawn clear under the dam,
and the current, after tossing him about
for few moments, bore him down
stream some distance, where he was
helped out. He was under the water
about half the time The other boy was
dashed against the rocks and received a
severe cash on the head, which nearly
stunned him. He was given assistance,
however, and escaped drowning. The
boat was total wreck. Let this be a
warning to boys who are wont to hazard
their lives in the dangerous sport, of
which there are too many in this city.

DObbins Electric SOap.

Having obtained the agency of this
Celebrated Soap for Fairbank and vi
cinity, we append the opinion of some
OF our best people as to it's merits:
We have given Dobbins Electric Soap
made by j. L. Cagin 4 Co., Philadel-
phia, Pa, a thorough trial and can re-
commend it to all housekeepers. BY
following the directions washing can be
done in one half the time required when
other soap is used. Boiling the clothes
is entirely unnecessary and but very lit
tie rubbing is needed.
