A Hoboken schoolboy gets the foolish no

1t is well, once year TO strew flowers on
the graves OF the men who died for the Union.
May their memory be kept greenl
But We owe them n more sacred duty--to see
to II that the spiling Of their blood shall not
have been in vain-a useless sacrifice. The
Union for which they gave their lives was a
Union Of free and equal States. inhabited by
free and equal citizens. choosing their servants
and making their laws freely under Constitu-
ton which Is not only the bond Of unity. but tho
charter Of freedom. Such Union was worth
the sacrifice made for it by the dead. MS it is
worth the support Of the living.
There are men. some Of whom stood over
these honorcd graves yesterday. who are not
content with this Union. They want to do away
with il, and set up in its place what they call a
strong governmental government OF bayonets
instead OF the government Of ballots.
Let all true patriots see to it that tho plans OF
these un-American hankercrs after an empire
are brought to naught.

but two veto messages to Congress in his eight
years; LINCOLN sent but one in his eight years
MONROE sent but one in his eight years; even
MADISON sent but six in his eight years, or less
than an average OF one year. HAYES has al

DR.. HAMLIN:-When I met your agent

time confined to the house, and three months
at time to my bed. The balance of the
time I was compelled to crawl around upon

including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
l suffered, the English language cannot tell
1t to any one who has not tried its realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. | used a bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now

Exhibitors Names at Fairs.

Most exhibitors attend fairs as much
for the advertising 1t brings as for the
honor of the premiums. ana visitors
want to know more of the persons who
exhibit than as to who took the first
prize after the fair is over, and yet the
absurd custom prevails generally Of
having numbers only on the exhibitors
cards. A Georgia paper is disgusted
with this practice at their late State fair
aud thus discourseth: "The practice OF
concealing the names of the exhibitors
. from visitors has crept into the manage
ment Of all our Southern fairs and de-
tracts materially from the interest and
instruction OF visitors, while il is of
; little value in insurlng impartial awards
"TLe name aud postOffise address Of
; each exhibitor should be placed upon
, the entry card of every article, not on
Is as an advertisement fer the exhibit
or, but for the information Of visitors,
many of whom attend fairs for the pur-
pose of learning what progress Il being
made in agricultural art, in the improve
ment Of seeds and implements. To i'll
ustrate, a farmer attends one of our
fairs and sees on exbibiOn sample OF
very fine corn of which he wishes to
secure seed; be searches in vain on the
card attached to learn the name of the
exhibitor he inquiries Of those stand
ing around and is answered, That Is
Just what we have been trying to as
certain We saw this occur and had
the inquiry made of US dozens Of times
at our last State fair.
TIE answer usually made to such
criticism, is 'Tbe name of the exhibi
tor can be learned from the books OF
the secretary Is visitor expected
every time he wishes to learn the name
| of the exhibitor of articles which es-
peciaIly interest him to 90 to the Sec
rotary, who on such occasions, has his
hands more than full attending TO bis
proper duties"
We should ike to shake hands with
this editor, having time aud again pro-
tested against the absurity. The the
ory is that it is to protect the judges.
1t is thought they will act more i:n-
partially when they DO not know whose
exhibits they are considering. But
Judges should be selected who are
above such Weaknesses, aud it is found
in practice that set of judges feel
more ON their honor, when they know
every body's EXHIBIT is known. than
when the whole thing is on the sly.
The veual judge wants no better chance
If be really wishes to sell his honor for
a bribe, than for the public to believe
that be '.really did not know whose
things he was Judging" when of course
he bad veisbty reasons for knowing all
the while. In every respec, it Is a gain
to have the exhibitors names on the
tickets, and now, when schedules are
being prepared, is the time to think oil
