How TO BE Fra good many ladies who
consider themselves too thin are feeding On
hypophosphites to enable them to assume
those rounded proportions Of face and figure
which all women much desire. While
women are seeking after hypsphcphits fat
reefs their attention to the vagabondish
squaw whe does 10 we'll without the assistance
Of any chemical continuance. Whs ever saw
= scrawny Washos squaw? We all knew how
they attain such symmetry of figure and such
fullness of face. 1t comes from the simple
diet of the discarded table scraps which are
given thea cut Of the back doors of every
body and anybodys house. Pudding which
has stayed two days in an old oyster can,
stale bread. sour corn, swill and stuff that the
honest house dog turns up his nose At. If
such course Of diet has such beneficial eff,
fects upon the squaws the conclusion is IRE
sistable that it would be just tho sort of
cosrse for white wsmen whose bones are
more prominent than ornamental. To finish
their course it would emily be necessary to lie
about in vacant lots and play poker in tho
sun and the rudy glow of health which is
such desirable addition to the beauty Of
woman's cheek would BE- there without the
necessity of laying it On three times day.

| A Practical JOKER CAuGHr.-A few days
| ago young man who had not seen his parents
for twelve years, determined to surprise the
old folks at home who reside in Missouri.
When he left the paternal roof, he was almost
\ dwarf, and his brothers and sisters were in
the habit of joking with him because Of his
diminative size. Accordingly he took Mars
ton the photographer into his confidence and
had his pictures taken in such q way that he
had every appearance of being giant. This
| was done by securing nunber Of pieces of
| toy furniture from Fox's store to surround
him with and little boy dressed like man
and wearing plug hat stood at his side. The
| negative was then taken, and the man sur
| rounded by such diminutive objects looked
like giant fer all the world. A dozen cabi
net photographs were then made and on each
vas printed, "Joha Jones, the Nevada giant,
hight feet inches; nov on exhibition nightly
ut the Carson Opera House, admission 81. !"
He then sent the photos heme with the follow
ing letter.
Dear Father: have sent you by Wells
Fargo Express a dozed photographs of myself
which will no doubt astonsh you, Of course
you recollect how you used to joke with ME
regarding my size, you will see by the follow
ing that l have grown considerably since my
arrival on the coast. | think the glorious
climate Of California had considerable to do
with il, for as soon as l moved up here l
stopped growing. | am now getting $500 "a
week and all expenses paid, exhibiting myself
and my salary will soon be raised. thou mt
that If you had few pictures you might Ike
to shsw them about the town. Love to all
the folks Your affectionate son, JOHN.
The receipt of the pictures in Smithville,
Missouri, threw the town int state of ex-
traordinary commotion, and when young Jones
got the Smithville Register containing an &C
count Of his success giant, he chuckled
immensely over the fun he had created Yes
terday morning. however, his astsnishment
was complete when he happened to be down
at the depot, and who should get off the
lightning express but his father, neither and
six brothers and sisters Of course they
didn't see him, as they were looking for man
of immense size, and he slipped out of sight
as soon as possible. Yesterday afternoon the |
Jones family were interviewing Manager
Preddey regarding the whereabouts Of the
Nevada giant who was getting $500 week
and expenses. They wanted to see him badly. |
Young Jones left the city for Valleys Springs
last night, where he will remain fer a spell
and if Marston don't seek rusticating place
soon he will wish he had

At the town meeting in Norway, last
Monday. there were 6S3 votes cast for
Moderator, and Freeland Howe, Repub-
lican candidate. was elected, receiving
32i votes.
II was believed, at this time, that the
fusionis,s were voting fraudulently; and
n vote was taken TO use the check list on
future ballots. This resulted in falling
off of thirty-three fusion votes.
For clerk, the first officer chosen by
the use of check list. there were 600
votes cast, and w. w. Whitmarsh had
500.
The Selectmen elected were +. A. Dan
forth. f.. II. Brown, Irving Frost, each
by about 55 majority. c. 5. Tucker
was elected Treasurer by SO majority
This is splendid Republican gain Of
about 35 votes from last September, and
is an indication OF how the people OF
Norway take TO the new religion Of
fraud. There was no endorsement OF
the technical steal by DIR. Bradbury. The
people of Maine generally will be happy
70 learn that the home of the notorious
fusion representative has spoken so loud
IL for honesty and majority rule.

more Especially FOX the information of GER

ious about the matter Now | claim to

placed money in the hands of Gov. Il. to
commence paving the bills that had &C
cruod bv his authority in protecting the

administration. on the Sth day Of Janua-
~. 1850. when he says his term Of othce
expired on the 9TH day Of said month

''publc in general would Ike to know
bv what authority he does 1t, and who
placed Il in his hands. and how much ne
has in his possession: II the Governor
has a rigs to carry the funds Of the State
about in his carpet bag after he has re-
tired TO private life, and settle old bills
that were contracted during his term Of
office. It seems to me that We have little
use for a State Treasurer, and that the
Governor and Council should be required
10 give bonds instead Of the Treasurer.
The x-Govepor says he commenced
paving the aforesaid bills on the Sth OF
January after as he claims his response
bihtv ceased. Now It seems 10 me that
he should have informed the aforesaid
public in general how much money ne
received for such purposes; how much re
mains in his hands; and toy what purposes
he has paid out. Tie informs US that he
stands ready 20 liquidate the balance due
Of about $500. but be does not give

Wouldn't it be well for the Fusion Gov

TELLTALE LETTERS.

The letters from G.. W. Haskell, which
we publish on our inside pages this morn
inc bring the conspiracy uncomfortably
near 10 the Hon. +. NJ. Fogg OF Auburn.
Haskell was the defeated Fusion candidate
for representative from Bethel, ana IL APP
pears that he attempted 10 steal the seat
in the House 10 which he was not elected.
Joined with him in the scheme were the
Hon. T.. +. Pillshury and the Hon. /. NJ.
Fogg. The latter, although member OF
the court which was TO decide upon Hask-
ellis claim, seems 10 have felt no compunc-
tions of conscience in acting as judge aud
attorney at the same time. While he was
sitting in the council, under oath 10 decide
with impartiality under the constitution
and laws, he was assisting Mr.. Haskell to
steal seat by suggesting the kind of evil
dence needed and the correct form III
which to put IT, IF you want any fnrth-
er affidavits or records let me know,
writes Mr.. Haskell. lIaskell's letters
seem TO show that Fogg was the original
or of the scheme 10 count out Bethel and
that Haskell acted entirely under his dl-
rection. At one time Fogg apparently
was Jealous OF Pillsbury because Haskell
sent him some records and affidayits first,
and rebuked him for so doing, for the lat
ter meekly apologies by saying that be
sent them 10 Pillsbury because he wrote
for them first and besides he thought one
copy would do for them both as they were
engaged in the same business. Fogg
seems To have been ambitious 10 be con-
sidered the head and front OF the conspira-
CIV and the recognition of Pillsbury in the
huSinaSS offended him
Why it was that Fogg did not succeed
in counting out Bethel doesn't appear. IL
NAV be that he allowed the scheme to be
defeated as a rebuke for the recognition OF
Pillsbury, or, what is more likely, 1t failed
simply because Fogg did not constitute
majority of the council. Whatever the
reason of the failure Haskell seems to
have been convinced that it was no fault
on Fogg's part, for he applies 10 him for
advice as to whether or not 10 contest the
seat in the House.
If Fogg's hide were not as thick as
hippopotamus' the disclosures made in
these letters would induce him TO quickly
follow the Hon. +. +. Pillsbury to ward
81, Boston But he has no sense OF
shame. We very much doubt if he is ca
pable of seeing anything dshonorable in
mans acting as judge and attorney at
the same time. We shouldn't wonder il
he felt pride in so acting. But what a
howl he will raise at the stealing of his
private correspondence.

PARIS TOWN MEETING.

The annual meeting of the voters in
Paris, held last Monday, was one Of the
largest ever held in town. AT one time
All votes were cast. Several important
questions were to come before the town,
and both political parties hoped to make
some capital out Of the votes. These
facts added to the pleasant day, brought
out large numbers. The Republicans had
held no caucus, but had decided among
themselves to vote for men selected by
residents of certain sections of town.
The fusionists had held a caucus; but its
work was so secretly done that some OF
the candidates themselves were not aware
of their nominations, until they saw bal
lots distributed for them. c. j. Mellen,
nominated for Clerk, and l.. +. keene,
nominated for Treasurer, withdrew. Blu,
one ballot was taken for each officer, as
follows:

We publish in another column, the
editorial in the Portland Press concerning
the Haskell letters, and the attempted
Bethel steal. We are sorry to say that
the Press took these letters from the Ok
FORD DEMOCRAT and gave that paper no
credit for the information which was fur
nished to it exclusively. The Press is
very careless about such matters, and
might well take few lessons in editorial
courtesy from its Lewiston contemporary.

PROMISE VS.. PERFORMANCE.

The extravaganza and corruption under
republican rule having been stopped, am
willing 10 give bonds that the State print
Ing and binding this year will not cost half
what il did last year. Thus far the present
printer has been paid only si,6l5, and the
additional work win not cost $1,000.

We take from the reports Of the State
Treasurer for 1878 and 1879 the follow
ing comparative statements of payment
for State printing and binding for those
years:
ISIS ls.s.

According to those official reports the
payments OF State binding in 1879 under
fusion rule were S2,l94 more than III
1878 under republican rule; while the
cost of printing so far as paid (Sl0,i12,
TO Mr.. Pillsbury and IS, 1858 to the old
printers, is only 1914 less than last year,
and possibly there are bills for 1879 not
vet paid. The account also shows that
on the very day when Mr.. Pillsbury said
the printing Tor 1879 would not cost half
as much as for 1878, more than 10000
had already been paid from the State
Treasury to Mr.. Pillsbury and the old
State printers, for printing for ls79,-
$1,000 more instead of $4,000 as stated
by Mr.. Pillsbury-while more than a
third Of the printing for the the year then
remained 20 be done. In other words,
So, 500 more than half the amount Of the
previous year had already been paid, and
he knew that at least $1,000 of work re-
NAMED to bc done and paid for. If Mr..
Pillsbury is not too busy in packing up
his papers for Boston, probably he Will
explain.
At the same time, will Mr.. Pills
bury please explain what he meant, when
he said in his last summer speeches. that
the fusion governor aud council had found
corruption and extravaganza in eNpcndi-
lures in the executive department under
republican rule, and had introduced hon
csty and economy instead, which would
result, in saving thousands OF dollars. We
take from the reports of the Treasurer of
llS7s and 1879 the following comparative
statement Of pay roll and contingent ex-
penses Of governor and council:
