Important TO Dealers In Cigars

Important TO Dealers IN Cigars.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue has issued special order requir-
ing deputies to visit every mandatory
and place where cigars are retailed ard
destroy every box upon which an un-
cancelled stamp is found, and to re-
port parties who have vilfulIy neglect
ed to ''astterly destroy" said stamps,
1t will be wise for dealers to at once
make thorough overhauling of old
boxes and absolutely destroy the
stamps before the collector calls in his
work of demolition. A simple scratch
ing OF the stamp is not sufficient; it
must be completely scraped off. A
word to the wise is sufficient. The
reason for this order is, the using of
old boxes with uncancelled stamps for
repacking cigars, thus defrauding the
government largely. If cigar dealers
wish to keep out of trouble they will
be wise to either burn their boxes or
totally annihilate the stamp.

UunlOr in the Family.

Good humor is rightly reckoned a
most valuable aid to happy homes life
An equally good and useful faculty is
sense Of humor or the capacity to have
a little fun along with the humdrum
cares and work of life. We all know
how it brightens up things generally
to have lively, witty companion who
sees the ridiculous points of a thing
and who can turn all annoyance into an
occasion for laug liter. 1t does a great
deal better to laugh over some domes
tic mishaps than to cry or scold over
them. Many homes and lives are dull
because they are allowed to become
too deeply impressed with a sense of
the cares and responsibilities of life to
recognize its bright and especially Its
mirthful side. Into such a house
hold, good but dull, the advent of a
witty humorous friend is like sun
shine on cloudy day;
While it is always oppressive to hear
persons constantly striving to say wit
ty or funny things, it is comfortable,
seeing what brightener little fun is
to make an effort to have some at
home. 1t is we'll to turn off an i'm pa
tient question sometimes, and to re-
gard it frsrn humorous point of view,
instead of becoming irritated about it.
"Wife, what is the reason [ can never
find clean shirt?" exclaimed a good
but impatient husband after rumaging
through the wrong drawer, His wife
looked at HIM steadily for a moment
half inclined to be provoked; then
with comical look she said: 81 never
could guess conundrums; [ give it
up Then he laughed, and they
both laughed, and she went and got
his shirt, and he felt ashamed OF HIM
self and kissed her, and she felt happy,
and so what might have teen an oc-
casion for hard words and unkind feel
ing became just the contrary, all
through the little vein Of humor that
cropped out on the surface.
Some children have a peculiar fac
ulty for giving humorous turn to
things when they are reproved. 1t
does just as we'll oftentimes to laugh
things off as to schold them off.
Laughter is better than tears. Let us
have little more of it at home.-Sat-
urday Evening Post,

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion Of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
Of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the mass
es of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually a
burden instead of a pleasant existence
of enjoyment and usefulness as ii
ought to be. There is no good reason
for this, if you will only throw aside
prejudice and skepticism, take the ad-
vice of Druggists and your friends,
and try one bottle of Green's August
Flower. Your speedy relief is Ger
tain. Millions of bottles of this med
icine have been given away to try its
virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buy a sample
bottle for 10 bents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case.
Positively sold by all Druggists on the
Western Continent.

To THE PUBLIC: The affairs of
the Library, as you will see by inspec-
ton of the foregoing statement, are in
prosperous condition, with this ex-
ception, there are quite number of
volumes out. which we fear have been
lost, or destroyed, or purposely de-
tanned. Unless they are returned
within a short time we shall take such
steps as may appear most expedient to
recover the books, or their value; even
though it may be necessary to close
the library FOR a time.
We would respectfully suggast to all
patrons, that whenever they return a
book instead of putting it into the
library themselves, they hand it to the
Librarian. and see that the charge
against them is cancelled at the time.
Yours Respectfully,

Ashburton Webster, grandson of
Daniel Webster, and the last male
defendant Of the great statesman, died
Of consumption in New York on the
22d inst, aged thirty years. He was
educated at the Annapolis naval acad-
envy, but subsequently studied law
He lived most of the time at the
Matshfeld estate, which he inherited
from his grandfather, and was there
when the house burned about year
ago. From that event dates the de.
velopment of his disease. There
seems to have been fatality attending
Daniel Websters' family. a very
bright boy died at an early age, and it
was this bereavement that drew from
the great man that touching poem
which has PeeP so widely published.
A favorite daughter, Mrs. Appleton,
died at the age of thirty. A son of
brilliant promise, upon whose educa-
ton no pains had been spared. in his
early manhood entered the volunteer
army during the Mexican war, CON
tracted fever, and died in Mexico.
Col. Fletcher Webster, the father Of
the young man who has just died, was
man of fac culture and good abiii-
ties. He entered the volunteer army
during the recent var, and was MGR
tally wounded at the second battle Of
Bull Run. The only representative
of the family now living, we believe,
is daughter of Col Webster. unless
Mrs. AppletQn's children are living.
The lineage of great men is generally
of short duration .-E0e. Wisconsin.

The MulIcIPAL ELECTION OF Philadel-
phia takes place to-day, when City
Councilmen, school directors and Ward
officers are to BE- elected. The fercsst
contest seems TO BE- in the Fourth
Ward. over Alderman William McMul-
lin, who is q candidate for select Coun-
Gil. By a strange coincidence Of cir
cumstances, the election in that Ward
has bearing on the Presidential con-
test Of 1880, those favoring the election
of McMullin being in favor Of Tilden,
and those opposing tho Squire being
in favor of Bsyard. 1t is said that Til
denis bar'ls has been USED freely in
the Fourth Ward Cor the election Of
McMullin, without whom Sam Randall
could not be elected to Congress, and
Sam. is a stout friend Of Tilden. The
Fourth Ward usually gives athousand
Democratic majority, but the Democrats
are 80 divided that McMulin would be
defeated if large number of Republi-
cans would not vote for him. As Nc
Mullin rendered good service in the
election of Mayor Stokeley, he now ex-
poets a return of the favor, which will
no doubt be given, and the election Of
the redou btable Squire will be the
first stroke for Tildsn in 1880.

BEN BUrLER in one Of his cranky era
~ spells the other day favored the pay
nent of United States pensions to Grip
pied reb.l soldiers. Sin fact he could
SEA no good reason why, ia Confeder-
ate who was not wounded, could hold a
Cabinet position, a Confederate soldier
who was wounded might not be PEN
sioner." As coming events cast their
shadows before. Butler only foreshad.
ows the rebel programme of the future.
The amusing part of this affair, how
ever, is the unbounded joy Of the "Ga-
zette" over the return Of Ben to the
Democratic fold, and it goes in ecstacies
over it in the following manner:
"Now, whatever we may think Of, or
have said of Buffers bad acts, we new
er looked upon him as anything else
than an able, accomplished and brave
man.-We knew him when Democrat
and lauded him with our pen, long be-
fore the war He is always ready to
defend himself, and no one was ever
able to prove that LIE stole the spoons,
although hundreds imputed it to him"
OF course somebody else is now the
hero of Dutch Gap, and Ben never had
a cross eye nor never stole spoons.

THE NoRTH American" says: Score
tary Sherman estimated at the begin
ming of the present session that the To-
tai receipts for the coming fiscal year
would lie 1894, 500, 900 and the expendi.
lures $240, 100, 900. The reduction Of
the tobacco tax is assured from The &C
tion Of the Senat4 yesterday, and
thus the receipts from internal rev.
enue will he reduced about eight
millions. This would leave US with
an apparent Surplus Of sixteen mil
lions, but the Iefdnding Of the public
debt has gone on at such rate that the
payment of double interest will compel
the disbursement OF about million and
. half more during the year, which
will reduce the probable surplus to ff-
teen millions. In the face Of this, Con-
gress voted yesterday more than fifty
millions in lump for the payment Of
arrears of pensions, which will make

The army appropriation bill seems
to hang fire in the conference committee
of Congress. That committee it is said
has not yet had meeting and is not in
any great hurry to do so until General
Buffers amendment allowing railroad
com panies to operate their lines for the
government and for commercial pur-
poses shall be more properly under
stood. Though We disapprove OF the
lacking of legislation foreign to the
subject to appropriation bills, We think
this is one OF the cases when such legis-
lation is justifable, when the enormous
cost of telegrapkic news is taken into
consideration. Such complete mo-
nopoly is the Western Union Telegraph
Company that an afternoon paper in
the city of Wilmington cannot get even
80 low as five hundred words daily IN
der thirty dollars a week, one half OF
which goes to the Telegraph Company
and the other half to the Associated
Press for gathering the news. II a
reasonable price was demanded, sayl
ten OF twelve dollars a week. which We
think is sufficient for five hundred
words, we would be- enabled togive our
readers the latest news up to the latest
hour Of going to press in the afternoon.
We have always had desire to give
our readers the latest telegraph news,
but when the high prices OF t-legrams
were considered and compared We
found that w wonld In losers, and no
business firm in this city would long
continue system only for accommoda-
ton, that was a constant drain upon
the receipts with no corresponding
benefits. The Western Union are said
to have 3 big lobby at Washington
working hard and spending much mon
ey to defeat the amendment which is
tackled to the end Of the Army appro-
priation bill, but We hope in this in
stance especially the lobbyists will Be
beaten 90 that the people all over the
country may get important news cheap
