A Boys Circus.

a local correspondent of the Cam
Bridge, Mass, Tribune writes: "a
few days ago | heard my year. old
boy offering to his schoolmates tick
cts TO circus. On inquiry | found
the performance was TO take place in
my stable. On looking at the tickets
prepared for the occasion, | discov-
cred that the child had been tearing
up some elegant colored note paper
my wife kept for her fastidious cor
respondents, and on each rude slip
was written in coarse hand, "Ad-
NIT the barer." The price charged
for tie tickets was six pins. / heard
aiterward that ono big boy, conscious
OF his power, offered some old bent
pins, and when they were refused,
threatened 10 visit the show and break
1T up. | do not propose to give an
account OF the entertainment, where
there were six performers and three
spectators; | merely wish to state
the results of the affair. | heard that
the affair broke up in a general row,
IN which some boards which had just
been planed for shelves in the house
were broken up, two or three panes
Of glass smashed 10 the windows, ana
considerable damage done to things
generally in the stable. The darling
boy had carried out into the stable a
nice sheet to divide off the green
room, and in the excitement at the
close of the moral show some one &C.
cidentally set fire to it. The fire was
easily extinguished with one or two
dippers Of water, but one Of the
larger boys was frightened aud gave
the alarm, which soon drew two or
three steaming engines in front Of my
premises. At night ! looked at my
cherub with delight as he was sleep
ing beautifully and peacefully, as
only a calm conscience will allow one
to do"

Duty TO a Newspaper.
Capt. Lucas at Waterloo Convention

Capt. Lucas at Waterloo Convention.
Newspapers have job offices con,
meeting with their establishments,
Ii cloth peddler or other peddlers
come along the merchants ali rush
to the newspaper offices and ask the
editors to tell their readers that the
cloth peddlers are in such aud such
township and should not be pat
ronized. The newspapers at once
in behalf of home merchants, give
the peddlers lift that soon drives
them out OF the country and brings
the trade as it should go to the
home merchants. This is all right
and proper. But mark you: an ANA
teur printing Office is opened and
some blacksmith goes in and be.
comes printer. He will print you
1000 letter heads tor so cents less
than the newspaper man charges.
You say You will save the so cents;
but | ask did it ever occur
to you that you are encouraging
peddlers? The newspapers give no
tires to churches and never think of
charging them, and yet whru they
have a job of work to do should
they go to amateurs? That is
wrong. We oppose this from the
same standpoint that we oppose
peddlers. Suppose merchant
comes to my office and asks me- 10

type, notice. 1 go down and he
shows me all the new goods aud
different styles and | write him up
the best kind Of an article that |
can. Suppose that the next day he
has a job of printing to be done on
which there is profit OF S1.50, and
he slips thro' some dark alley or
around the corner and gives it to
some amateur just to save so cents.
Is that honest? 1t may be honest
but it isn't pretty. The papers of
this congressional district continu-
ally labor for the npbuilding of the
town, for the building of railroads
and all other mprovement. Should

PoTAToEs cut TO single eyes and

fertile, will produce greater crop,

THERE is no patch of land on the
farm that yields so much comfort to
tie family, and shows so much profit
on the ledger,a as the garden, provided
it is properly managed. Few farm.
ers apparently believe this ; certainly
the great majority do not give such
attention to their gardens as will Sc
cure the best results. They seem to
regard gardening as fancy work, suit

One of the heroes of the Franco
German war of 1870 has just been
attracting attention at Paris in the
person of Sergeant Hoff, who refused
the epulets and commission of an Of
6cer because he said he was neither
born nor bred gentleman. He re
fused also 100000 francs for convey.
ing dispatches to Metz through the
enemy's Inns, and slew twenty seven
Prussians with his own land. The
government gave him the legion of
honor and has just appointed him
guardian of the Barriere de Etoile.
