The 2lst of April was the anniversary
of the foundation of Rome by Romulus
on the Pslatine Hill. The Eternal City
now counts 1852 years OF existence, and
this event was celebrated by an illumin-
alton OF the Forum with Bengal lights.
This custom is in imitation of tho an
c'ent Romans, who celebrated the ami
versary with public rejoicings and reli-
Rious and civil festivals. 1t has been
Usual to illuminate also the Colosseum,
but the many excavations which have
been made in the arena would have made
Il dangerous to admit a crowd in the in-
terror. Tue illumination with red and
green lights was therefore limited to the
Forum. bnt even thus restricted It was
sufficient to attract. great numbers Of
strang rs in Rome as we'll o. the citlz ns
to enjoy the enchanting spectacle. Many
were admitted to the gardens of the Pal
stine Hill, from which they could look
down upon the Forum and see its col.
nmns and broken rostrums. and ITS Sacra
Via, where julius Cesar and Augustus
and Mark Anthony, the losds of the

DOG TowN-A little while ago, about
seven or eight miles distant from this
city, on the stage road to Eureka and
Belmont, there hourished town known
by the exquisite name OF Dog Town. 1t
consisted Of several houses and three or
four families resided there. The build.
ings were principally stocksdes. Now
tns place is deserted; not an ediice re-
mains; the buildings have been taken
away and oil that there now is to mark
the spot is the hole which once was q
we'll and little debris. The festive
oottontail sportivsly plays upon tho
clearing, and the hungry coyote barksth
for bis prey; the grass groweth on the
streets, and the sidewalks remain un.

A curious incident happened on board
the steamer Alaska on her last voyage to
China. She had on board about two
hundred Chinese, and it happened that
one of them died on the passage. Ac.
cording to q regulation of the company,
the body must be eubalmed and taken
to China. A Portuguese stowaway hap
pentd to bo on board, and he was placed
to watch the corpse over night; but
either not liking the job OF sitting up
with dead Chinaman, or believing in
the doctrine of the "Chinese must CO."
he siezsd the poor heather ana threw
him overheard. So. when the doctor
came in the morning to perform his duty
of embalming, there WAS no subject to
embalm. He lost his fee and was prob
ably indignant. The Chinese passengers
were also highly indignant. and if they
could haye caught the Portuguese would
most likely have thrown him over after
the Cbinaman. And the company will
probably have bill to pay on the arrival
OF the ship in China for nonfulfllment
of contract.

Special Notice.
MANY abuses have grown up under the
1vl old system of selling Sewing Machines
through "Mddlemen," whose cupidity has
often led them to misrepresentation and fraud.
For the protection of the public and our

system. We have abolished the "middle-
mem and sell directly through our owa sala.
ried agents, whom we are able TO control
We can thus give to every purchaser of a
Genuine Singer Sewing Machine the guar

ploying forty thousand men, that any machine
sold by Singer agent is exactly what it is
represented. The difference between such a
guaranty and the guaranty of an irresponsi-

has never seen before and may never see again

CuriOsities of the Fairs,

Jockeys are the boys who generally
suffer in life and limb ut fairs, but Mis-
souri, offers a tragedy in which a bootl-
keeper is the victim While Senator
Cockrell was delivering an address at
the Saline county fair, at Marshall. the
cry of MURDER was raised and the
great crowd broke away from around the
orator to pour down upon booth kept
by Robert Montague. A man by the
name of Fisher had quarreled with
Montague and stabbed him to the heart
with dirk. There was the most intense
excitement among the 5000 people pres
ent.
At the Fulton (Wis.) fair the most
valuable COW on exhibition keeled over
and gave up the ghost. The cattle doc
tors all gathered around the animal and
made post examination in
public. The cause of death, wonderful
to relate, was found to have been hair
pin in the beasts heart. The remains of
the girl who perhaps went down with
the pin were not discovered.
The novelty during the early days of
the Bourbon county Ny.) fair was a
baby show. The Cincinnati Enquirer
dispatch, which chronicles the fact that
w. P. Coupland, of Leadville, Colorado,
won the prize. adds: AT the time of
the tying the ribbon it seemed as though
several fights were imminent among the
mothers of the kids who were ertered.' u
At the Wisconsin State fair John Nc
Cullough, the tragedian, recited from
Julius Cesar. Othello and other plays
for the benefit of the rustics. There
was ballon ascension, also.
1t was so cold at the Minnesota State
fair that an old-fashioned backlog fire
in the lumberman's camp was the most
popular attraction to the blue-nosed
| sight-seers.
Brilliancy was given to the domestic
| department Of the Minnesota fair by
covering the tables alternately with red
white and blue cloths.
A coin collection, in which all ages
and nations were represented, was the
curiosity at the Toledo (Ohio) tri-Statt
fair.
Among the attractions to garner tn,
shekels at the st. Paul (Minn. } fair wa,
Captain Bogardus, the crack shot.
In his ascension from an Ohio fair tn,
other day an aeronaut took up liv'
colt.
Many farmers were encamped in arm,
tents on the Iowa State fair grounds.
The novelty at the Decatur Ull.) fail
was 4OO-yard foot race.
Beer was banished from the Michigan
State fair grounds.
