The Alumni Festival.

The series OF concerts recently given in Bos-
ton in fremont Temple and Meionaon Hall
alternately afternoon and evening for four
days consecutively, deserve more than passing
mention.
In point of fact the director of the New Eng
land Conservatory of Music, Doctor Eben Tour
ice is constantly interviewed in behalf of young
persons of acknowledged talent, who for want of
means are deprived of a practical and thorough
musical education; he has through this alum
nj association, formed of professors and gradu-
ates, made most praiseworthy movement
toward aiding musical aspirants ambitious to
help themselves.
The concerts exhibited good proficiency in
the several branches, while the motive and
spirit of the performers, to create loan fund
for the benefit of their less favored musical
fraternity, was beyond commendation-it was
nobly philanrhropic.
All lovers and patrons of music, who are
benevolently inclined and pecuniously favored
can, with their substantial cooperation with
thls loan fund, assist many struggling and

Boston Transcript: Every few days
comes to hand letter from some one who
wants a brief statement made for his bene-
fit concerning some public question, sort
of condensation such as Nine. de Stael
wanted when she asked an Eoglish states
man to tell her all about the British consti-
tuition in ten minutes. Now it is some one
who wants to 'scatch up'' on the Irish ques-
ton. Next comes somebody who wants a
"brief statement of the Ponca difficulty"
Again comes forward an individual who
has been "too busy to follow it," who wants
to know ''what all this talk about telegraph
consolidation means" They will have to
find out as best they may. There is no roy
al road to learning the history of the times
in which we live, and if people cannot read
the papers, they must be content to 'get
left" A half-hour every day devoted to
reading newspaper-not necessarily read
ing every word of it, but knowing what is in
it, and reading with care those portions
which one finds worthy of the time required
will enable one to accumulate fund of
very valuable information, and keep the
reader so informed concerning the progress
of events throughout the world that he will
never have occasion to write to an editor
begging for help in the injurious process
known as "cramming.'

An Iowa farmer who has given both fair

CINCINNATI Commercial: If there was a

treatment of James G. Blaine with high con-

fact is that large majority of the Repre-

idency at Cincinnati in 1876 and at Chicago
in 1880. The Blaine delegates at Chicago
represented over $50 Republican constituent

A DiSinfectant.

The Enterprise gives the following as
disinfectant both powerful and cheap.
The chances of smallpox will make it
especially valuable at this time: "Take
an old frying-pan, a shovel or any iron
utensil thick enough to hold heat for a
few minutes, heat it almost red-hot,
and then put upon it few spoonfuls Of
ground coffee in a little heap; over this
put about as much sugar, and the two
will fuse together. On arriving at the
room or rooms to be disinfected pour
over the burning sugar and coffee about
a gill of strong vinegar A strong and
pungent gas or vapor will be given out,
which will thoroughly disinfect the
room. The articles used are to be had
in every house, and will be found to be
the best for purifying room that can
be applied; also will not prove disa-
greeable to sick persons, as would car
bolic acid, chloride of lime and some
other disinfectants,"

A New Counterfeit.

Counterfeit five dollar pieces have
reached this city. One was shown at
this office yesterday which would have
been accepted in moment in payment
of half years subscription. The new
counterfeit bears the date of 1869 and
the workmanship is good. Its ring
closely resembles gold, but slight
scratch betrays the fact that the bogus
piece is gold-plated on some white
metal somewhat harder than silver. In
very short time the plating wears off
on the edges, exhibiting the counter
felt. A close inspection of the stars
will betray the piece, as they are larger
and not as automatically accurate as
those of the genuine. When new the
bogus coin will deceive anyone but an
expert.

A BOSHY BOOK.


This Office has received Miller's new
book, "The Shadows of Shasta" 1t
glorifies the lousy, thieving and re-
vengeful savage. Miller affects to be a
sort of worshiper of the night-prowling,
vermin-ridden, two-faced Indian, who
sweats in his greasy rags and wallows
in filth the year round. This sort of
trash is popular in the East, and Miller
makes money by writingit. Whenev.Y'
he attempts a poetical flight he winds
up with a thud, and the eagle becomes
grounding. His climaxes all work
backwards. Did not the author wear
his hair down over his shoulders and
keep his finger nails dirty, he would
never pass for genius. Such book
as his last is worthless from literary
standpoint, and gives the uninitiated
reader false ideas upon the Indian ques-
ton, which just now is of National inn
portance.

which took place in Dayton on Friday

eral responsible parties: ga cookbook
ing, buxom young German woman en-
tered one of the leading furnishing
stores in city not more than thou
sand miles from Dayton, the other day,
inquired in broken English for a
particular quality of colored yarn used
for knitting stockings, and not being
comprehended by the female clerks Of
the establishment was directed to one
Of the male clerks. After making sew
eral vain attempts to describe the arti-
Gle she was in search of, she finally struck
a bright idea, and placing her foot on
the counter, thus displaying an enor-
nous length of hose, she said, ''youst
der ZANE NIT dose, young Weller" The
female employees of the place had press
ing business to attend to in the rear
port of the store about that time, and
the dapper young man with wilted
shirt bosom started for the door to see if
there wasn't runaway or dog fight.''

nearly behind the bar. He glanced at
the officer two or three times in the
meantime. Roberts saw him enter, and

ing: "YOu are one Of the sons Of BIS

peated the fire twice more, or maybe
three times. The two men were stand

first ball probably took mortal effect.
Myers staggered against the folding
doors, drew his pistol and fired. He
reeled through the doors and then back
again, falling on the11ooc in front Of the
OF the stove. Roberts had narrow
escape. A bali from Myers pistol grazed
and cut the right sleeve of his coat and
