How Business is Now Done.

The old methods of doing business are fast passing away, and whether the change is for the better or not, those who wish to achieve success must abandon theSold and fall into thenew A revolu- tion has been wrought in such matters, and the old methods are daily becoming obsolete. One hundred thousand com mercial agents or drummers are now en- ployed to travel the length and breadth of the country in the interest of their employers, and in this fast age no one unless he holds monopoly of some good thing, can afford to wait for GUS toners, so great is the competition in every line or branch of business As pertinent to this subject, the Boston Post says: The ways of traffic are not the old ways; wooden ships are going out of date, and sailing vessels are giving place to steam; currency is superseded by commercial cr9dits; the cable and telegraph have brought markets close together railroads derive their freight profits from the perfectness of their ter minal facilities; men buy and sell by sample before products and manufac- tured stocks are moved; prices and rates change oftener now in a day than they used to do in week or month; every thing tends to economy of business fric- tion, to bringing things down to the finest point by the shortest way, to the performance of the most work by the least machinery.

A Boy with a Memory.

The Bangor (Me Commercial reports the discovery of wonderful boy, ten years old, son ofColonel Fuller, formerly postmaster at Bangor. Here are a few of his remarkable feats: He can, in an average of five seconds, tell the day of the week upon which any particular date in any year of this century fell. He never forgcts date. Among other things he can tell instantly when each President was born, when inaugurated, how long he served and when he died He can tell where he himself was and what doing on any specified day of. the last two years. He knows all about the Bible, even to the number of verses in each chapter of several of the books; he can give the substance of any verse in any chapter of any book; tell just where any event is described and where any Scripture name is mentioned. He is equally at home with the hymn books, being able to tell on what page any hymn in the Moody and Sankey and other col lections is to be found. One evening somebody told him that twice two was four and that was multiplication. He did not know it be fore, but the nex morning at the breakfast table he re- peated the whole table. Fractions and the addition, multiplication and division of them are his pastime, and the big dic- tionary furnishes him with light reading for many hours of his leisure.

Speaking of Snakes.

The late Isaac White of Pennington. in Albermarle county, told me the follow ing, which he had from Mrs. Marks, the mother by former husband, of the eel ebrated Meriwether Lewis, who first explored the upper Missouri, the Rocky Mountains and Oregon; MT. Lewis had started one afternoon to cross the Blue Ridge, and when near tho summit was arrested by the spectacle of two snakes a black and rattlesnake-in the narrow road he was travelling. They were in coil, with upraised heads, darting out their tongues and each intently gazing on the other. Suddenly the rattlesnake uncoiled and took to flight, but in an instant the black snake pursued and caught him by the neck, and quick as thought twined around him from head to tail, constructing him with force that made the bones crack audibly. Then he lay motionless for some time, when, as if he thought his prey was dead, he began slowly to unwind He had about half completed this process when the tail of the rattlesnake gave a slight quiver. AS speedily as before the | black snake whipped around him gave another crushing hug, breaking bones as before, and again lay motionless and for a longer time. Then more cautiously unwinding he found the rattlesnake en- tlrely dead and began to swallow him
 He had about half completed this opera tlon when night began to come on and MT. Lewis went on his way, not wishing to be belated in the mountains. Upon his return both snakes had disappeared l 7-Riclsnlo1sd Daspatch.

Malaria Disnr,ned of It's Terrors.

Malaria, that tell atmospheric poison, is. dis armed of it's rerrors, and health insured to thousands residing where the noxious exhala- tion periodically infects the air, and engenders intermittent and remittent levers, by Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters, the most popular, as it is the best, of preventives, alternatives and tonics. In numberless localities, where the de- mand for sulphate of quinine was formerly inn mense, the hurtful alkaloid has been almost entirely supplanted by this safe, agreeable and effective substitute, which is genial in action and unobjectionable in flavor. It nullifes tine influence of miasma by giving more active impulse to every vital function, quickening and enriching the blood, overcoming 8 ten dency to biliousness, and promoting digestion.

The Gazetto d5 Veaaegia, the oldest o newspapers, appeared in 1536, when the Venetian republic was fighting against the victorious Sultan Suleiman, who took the Levant from the republic and was threatening it's very existence. The Doge of Venice, in order to inform the people and arouse them for the defence of their country, ordered the publication of the war news on piece of paper to be sold for 8 gazetta, small Venetian toin. Thence the name of the paper.

A Baked Bible.

There is Bible in Lucas county, Ohio, which at one time contained some very warm Scriptural texts. It belongs to MT. Sheboldt, native of Bohemia. 1t was formerly the property of his grand. mother, who was very devout woman. During one of those periods when re- hgous prosecutions were common in Austria, law was passed that every Bible in the hands of the people should be surrendered to be burned. Mrs. She boldt determined to save hers, and when the party came to search her house she had just prepared huge batch of dough for the oven, and, taking her precious Bible, she wrapped the dough around it and quickly deposited it in the oven. Here it was thoroughly baked, but it was saved uninjured from the fiery fur mace. It has passed through several generations as a memorial of the days when men were not allowed to worship God in accordance with the dictates oi their own consciences.

A Big Alligator Story.

MT. W. W. Ocain, living in the neigh bOrhood of Huntsville, six miles north east of Lake City, Fla, has for years been troubled by the depredations of 8 large alligator. His track as he made his way through the fields has been often seen, and the frequent disappearance of hogs occasioned this gentleman to make offers for his teeth. With the hope of destroying this pest, he put out bait and poison several weeks ago. The bait was taken, but still the alligator took in ad- ditional shotes. A large hook was ob- tained and baited, but bait and hook were taken, the latter by gnawing the rope which held it. Things were becom- ing desperate, and the recent dry weather favored Mr Ocain Last Saturday the alligator was traiIed to his hole, and finding it muddy, it was concluded that he had just sought retreat. A negro was sent in, but was immediately seized by the leg, and with difficulty was rescued, badly bitten. However, the party suc- ceeded in killing the alligator, which measured ten and half feet. He was skinned and opened, and in him was found the hook, a large pig, and several other things. Having been fed so well it was thought good time to try alliga- tor steak, but this was prevented by the suggestion that the meat might be poi soned. A dog, however, was permitted to eat his fill, and, strange to relate, in 8 short time was dead.-JacksonviN l (FIG) I132i07z

A First-Class Institution.


 The Wesleyan Academy at Wilbraham, Mass, is of the oldest and most popular institutions in the country. Its buildings, grounds, facilities for instruction and all it's other appointments are among the finest in the world. Few institutions can boast of such a long history of educationaLetficiency. G. NJ. Steele, D. D., for many years president of Laurence University in Wisconsin, has just been elected Principal, and the Faculty has been recognized. The payment of $I65 will secure one years tuition with board, includ- ing limited amount of washing, room heated by steam and other ineidentals. The payment of SS57 to Ss60 will secure the same for one term ot thirteen weeks.
 To develop healthy and harmonious action among the organs of secretion, digestion and evacuation, take Dr. Mott's Vegetable Liver Pills, which healthfully stimulate the liver, give tone and regularity to the liver, counter act a tendency to costiveness, and purify the blood. Their cathartic action is unaccom- panied by gripping and is never violent and abrupt but always gradual and natural. These pills are of the greatest assistance in overcom- ing scrofulous tumors and eruptive maladies. Sold by all druggists.
