exception of the State Fair at Dover.
Dur Ing the first three days OF this fair
the attendance was not above an aver

the immense crowd which attended
the Dover exhibition yesterday sent it
far ahead of the attendance in former
years, and made the fair g eater sue

in other States. Dover is central, in
fruitful agricultural district of level
country fer twenty miles on either

easy drives over good roads, while the
town itself affords good and ample
accommodations. IL must be very

Authoritative Contradiction.
Mark Twain Informs an Inquiring Friend
in South Australia tnat he is Not Dead.

A gentleman in South Australia, who was
once visited that far away region, and when
there had actually lodged under the same roof
with bis father, happened to hear recently
that the famous humorist was dead. He was
SO much affected by the news that he at once
wrote to Mr.. Clemens to ascertain il it was
true. The reply he received is printed in the
Adelaide Observer of October -, and is as fol-
lows:
.'During the present year l have received
letters from three gentlemen in Australia who
had in past times known people who had known
me sin Australia" but have mover been in
any part of Australia in my life By these
letters it appears that the persons who knew
me there knew me irtimately-not for day,
but for weeks. and even months. And appar-
entity / was not confined to one place, but was
scattered all around over the country. Also,
apparently, / was very respectable; at least
suppose 50, from the character Of the company
/ seem to have kept-government officials,
ladies of good position, editors of newspapers,
&c.
1t is very plain, then, that some one has
been in Australia who did me the honor to
personate me and call himself by my name.
Now, If this man paid his debts and conducted
himself in an orderly and respectable way
suppose hayeno very great cause OF complaint
against him; and yet i am not able TO believe
that man can falsely assume another mans
name and at the same time De in other respects
adecent and worthy person. l suspect that,
sDecious as this stranger seems to have been,
he was at bottom rascal, and pretty sort OF
rascal at that.
That is all I wished to say about the matter.
There are signs that have an audience among
the people of Australia. / want their good
opinion; therefore thought would speak up,
and say that if that adventurer was guilty of
any misconduct there 1 hope the resulting
obloquy viii be reserved for him, and not
leveled at me, since / am not to blame.
To-day's mail brings letter to member OF
my family from old Eoglish friend OF ours,
dated Government House, Sydney, May 20"
in which the writer is shocked TO hear OF my
Sudden DEATH Now, that suggests that that
aforementioned imposter has even gone the
length of dying for me. This generosity dis
arms me- He has done thing for me which
wouldn't even have done for myself. II he
will only stay dead now will call the account
square, and drop the grudge bear him.

sDo you love me, Reginald?"
The supper in connection with the Jete cham
petre given by Stuyvesant MCGUIRE in honor OF
the nineteenth birthday of his only child was
over, and the spacious parlors were filed with
the eyounger portion of the assemblage, by whom
they had quickly been devoted to the worship
of Terpsichore. Reginald Mulcahey and Aph-
rodite Mcclure had been gliding through the
soft. sensuous measures o + Strauss waltz, and
as the music ceased they had strolled into the
dimly lighted conservatory, where as they sat
with clasped hands, her pure, sweet face look
ing lovingly into his, the question with which
our story opens was asked.
"Do love you, my little one?" responded
Reginald, as he imprinted large Eighteenth
Ward kiss on the ruby-red lips that overhung
the dropping, sensitive mouth. "Your heart,
that unerring and ever vigilant monitor of the
soul, must tell you in words far palmer than
any utterance OF mine that without the inspir-
alton of your love my life would be as dreary as

A Modest Individual.

The editor was sitting in his sanctum, when
man laboring under considerable apparent
excitement, walked in with the paper in his
hand, and pointing to small paragraph, read
"The genial Colonel Mumblechock thinks OF
taking an eastern journey soon. May he
enjoy pleasant trip is the wish of his many
friends"
"Now, sir!' said the excited man, 81 am
Col. Mumblechock, and have called to in
quire by what authority you make this use OF
my name in your paper?"
ssFirst time ever saw it," replied the edi.
tor, glancing at the item, s'but l suppose it Is
all right. MY local reporter is quite enterpris-
ing in his pursuit of news"
"But never gave him permission to use my
name in this manner" persisted the colonel.
Very likely" said the editor But you
are going east, amt you?"
Certainly"
"And you haven't any objection to oni
friends wishing you pleasant trip?"
"That's all right, but don't want my name
in the paper, and in the future you will oblige
me by leaving i. out"
"Of course" said the editor, If you desire
it," and the colonel bowed himself stiffiy out
"John," said the editor to his office boy
"follow that man and see where he goes, and
come back and report"
John did as he was requested, and shortly
after he came back and reported that Col

back your hair and take your seat by the win
dow while 1 give you a little advice. You
wish to become famous and to be known as
Billy, the Terror of Kenosha or the Boy Aven-
ger. This is not practicable outside of books.
To be sure you have read of boys becoming
villains, in velvet pants and top boots, in
marvelously short time, but as a rule the boys
who start out to duplicate those yellow covered
fellows, bring up in some isolated jail and in
stead of velvet pants they are adorned in real
life with ragged overalls with the vitals worn
out sitting around in lonely places waiting for
the beautiful maiden to come and fall in love
with them, as they do in the book. But
have found way for you to crafty your long
cherished dedres. Scnool commences next
week aud want you to arm yourself with a
double-edged grammar and self-cocking ar
ithmetic and skulk down to the school house
Monday bright and early. When school calls
conceal yourself behind your book, and when.
ever you see az opportunity, jump onto diff
cult problem and probe itthrough and through.
After you have, to all appearance, mastered it,
turn it upside down and make it prove itself.

of months you will begin to receive some OF the

You think now that this will satisfy you but
it will not. On the contrary it will only spur
you on to attempt still more difficult achieve
ments An uncomfortable desire to graduate
will take possession of you, and before you
know it you will be standing in a hall full of
people with d valediotory in one hard and acold
sweat in the other, trying to carry off the hon.
ars of commencement day. Thus will you go
on, step by step, until your friends would
hardly recognize the little Willie Brown of

keepsie who will he teaching dead language
with one hand while he pulls an astronomical
constellation to pieces with the other twenty
years from now OF course you will live long
er than you would if you had become famous
as the Highwayman Of Oconomowoc, but you
will die in good time, full of years and gout,
and the great dailes will devote half column
under Gilt Edge Tonic advertisement to your
obituary notice, and some enterpriSing cigar
manufacturer will name brand of cigars after
you, and yau will be mourned as the Bald

Now that the question of the occupation
of the Indian Territory by white settlers is
no longer one to be solved by prohibitory
laws and proclamations, it is to be hoped
that such measures will be promptly taken
with the invaders who have settled at Okla
hama with the evident intention of staying
until they are forcibly evicted, that not only
they but all other lawless persons of their
class will clearly understand that the gov
ernment is not only able to conclude treat
les but to enforce their provisions. There
has already been trouble and bloodshed
enough over the Indian question, caused by
similar circumstances on the part of few
reckless people, and it is time that the blame
should be placed where itrightfnlly belongs.
1t is disgrace to the nation that handful
of border desperadoes should be permitted
to set the laws of the country at defiance,
and there is certainly no more binding obli-
CATION than that which has given the pos

ALASKA has thus far been entirely desti-
tate of territorial government, and has been
left unprovided with civil authorities OF any
kind since it has been subject to the juris-
diction of this Republic. Nominally, it has
been understood to be attached to the ter
ritory of Washington for legal purposes, bu
in reality the government has been pure
military despotism. Notwithstanding the
coldness of the climate, the gold mines, the
fisheries and the fur trade have rendered it
absolutely necessary that some vigorous
measures shall be resorted to for the collec-
tion of the customs, the regulation Of the
foreign trade, the suppression of smuggling,
and the collection of the taxes on distilled
liquors.

1t was for the completion OF the railroad sys-
TEN of Maine that two thirds of these bonds
were issued Since 1869 the cities named have
aided in the construction of the Bangor and
Piscataquis, Knox & Lincoln and Portland and
Ogdensburg lines, and in the extension OF the
Portland and Rochester road.
The figures, of course, show the gross debt OF
the cities of Maine on railroad account. The
value of the security which the cities hold
against that Indebtedness does not appear, be it
more or less. The Kuox & Lincoln, for in
stance, is estimated to be rather more than one
third the amount OF municipal aid bonds for
which it is wholly mortgaged.
