Our Little Ones is just one year old now,
and, if possible, it is a better magazine for
the smaller children than it was at the
start. 1t is always full of beautiful pict-
ures and quaint stories, and rhymes,
selected with admirable judgement by the
editor, Oliver Optic. 1t is exactly the
magazine which parents have been
wishing for, and which the babies who
nave learned to read will welcome with
delight. The publishers, the Russell Pub
fishing Company, Boston, announce that
they have purchased The NuTspy.g. which
will hereafter be merged in orr Little
Ones
FRANK LEsLIEs POPULAR MONTHLY
The title of this magazine is very appro-
pirate, and it well deserves its vast pOpu-
larity, for as regards merit it is not ex-
ceeded by any of its higher priced cOntem-
poranes IN this country and Europe. The
number for October is an exceedingly
brilliant one; the leading article by Mr.
Nugent Robinson entitled, Annapolis
Naval Academy" gives most interesting
account of that institution, and the four
teen admirable illustrations greatly in
crease the interest. Among the other
prominent articles are "Sport on tine
Other Side of the Continent = " Bees and
their Folklore, -" Fashionable Resorts on
the Mediterranean" Treating of Genoa
Nice, Capri, City of MOnac, MentOne, etc.
etc. a single copy is furnished for q
cents, sent postpaid, and the yearly sub
scrlptiOn is So. Address, Frank Leslie

LUMINOUS sPAINT.--The luminous paint
discovered by Mr.. Balmain, an English
chemist, is already coming into practical
use. The popularity of this paint is that
il absorbs light in the day time and emits,
like phosphorus, a pale but easily distin-
guished light after dark. The uses to
which it may be put are much more num-
erOus than persons suppose As the light
is not affected by fre-damp, it NAV be en-
ployed to explore mines in which that
deleterious agent is in excess, or to recover
bodies after an explosion from fire-damp
has occurred. 1t may be used in all other
places where it would be dangerous to
carry a light at night, such as cellars where
there is a leakage of gas where petroleum
or gunpOwder is stored; in the lamp and
spirits room of ships, and, in short. wher-
ever danger from an ordinary light is ap-
pretended. Its use has not as vet been
extensive in this country, but it has been
applied, with great success. to the indica-
tors OF the passenger steamers Bristol and
providence, now plying on the New York
rivers. while for many marine PURPOSES.
as for binnacle lights, for instance. il is
believed that it will prove of equal service.
II 1t should be found possible, ultimately,
to so improve the light as that miners will
be able to work by it, its value in the
savings of life would be incalculable.

THE State Sentinel is stalwart of the
stalwarts. 1t says every cloud has its
silver lining and the silver lining in the
darkness of the national bereavement is
the fact that it is Chester A. Arthur who
is to fill the Executive Chair. If the
measure of his brightness were his course
prior to the speeding of the assassin's
bullet, we might well question the pro-
priety of such a judgment, but the humil-
iation of the Nation and the unmistakable
voice of the American people, let us hope,
has planted in him higher and nobler
purpose.

STREET FAKIRs.-The Fairs have aug
mented an already growing tendency to
visits from street Fakirs. We can put up
with one once and a while, but when they
come in squads and batalliOns it is time to
call halt. The MiddletOwn Fair was
point of Capitalization last week from
which they radiated to the other large
towns the intervening days prior to the
opening of the Dover Fair. They were
admitted to the Fair Grounds (Of course
for consideration and with their Major
Domo's, Tom TOMS, and other means of
attracting the attention of visitors. almost
overshadOwed the Fair proper. 1t was
a question in the minds of many which of
the two was running away with the Fair,
the horse races or the monkey shows.
But, we started to speak of these noun
tebanks in our own streets. They broke
tent at the place above named on Friday
morning, came in the first train to this
town and were ready to amaze the guilt
BILE as the shades of evening shut down on
the close of the day. Two of them loca-
ted in the Hotel yard, the man with the
Ghosts" and the man with the machine
to test individual strength. On Saturday
night they were both literally patronized,
the latter mainly by darkeys who had
been drinking enough to feel they were of
some Importance, and their spare change,
which was bound to go, was as well eX-
pended in this way as for that which
would send them home in the condition of
beasts. The third, a Fakir proper, lOca-
ted himself i'll conspicuous place in the
streets, mounted ON box with blazing
torch at his side, and soon, by his imita-
tlon of birds and beasts with the aid of a
little instrument he put on his tongue, at
tracted q large crowd around him. He
gave one of these with a card (which if it
had any signifcancy at all was its sug-
gestion of obscenity) with q small cake of
soap for the price of ten cents. The pur-
chasers were largely boys who have need
of more elevating art culture than these
picture presents.
The moral, or rather immoral tenden-
cies aside, where is the propriety of these
mountebanks interfering with the legiti-
mate trade of the town? Merchants told
us that while these shows were in full
force but little trading was done over the
counters, and the residue of the weeks
stipend which was designed for the usual
Saturday night supplies reached them at
late hour. The legitimate consequence
was dese0ratiop of the sacred hours of
the Sabbath. The heavy tramp was heard
after midnight of men going out of the
town with their ribald jests and profane
expletives. Such things are offensive in
their business aspects as well as proprie-
ties, and if our Town Commissioners exact
a heavy fee from manageries for showing
in our corporate limits, why not proper
tOnate license for the other shows that
come to take all the money they can from
our communityf

TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF PRESIDENT
GARFIELD-THE DAY OF HUMIL-
IATION AND PRAYER

1AI1ON AND
The events of the past week, the con-
veying of the remains of President Gar
field to the capitol of the Nation, the
lying in state, the departure for his long
resting place at Cleveland, the manifesto
tions of grief not only where the mourn
ful train passed but throughout the length
and breadth of the land has been shared
in by the same tokens and manifestations
of bereavement in our community. Sor-
row is in every heart: with many il is as
deep and tender as that springing from
personal and warm friendship. The feel
ing is for the bereft family as we'll as the
stricken Nation. The manifestations of
sorrow have been not only on many places
of business but in emblems of sadness
displayed in many private homes.
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Rev. Mr.. Gordon early in the week
draped st. Peters Church in habiliaments
of mourning. The dressing, which was
confined to the chancel was simple and
tasteful. The Reading Desk and hecturn
were likewise draped, one bearing white
cross the emblem of Faith" and the other
an anchor the emblem of "Hope." Ex-
tending across the wall In eDtique black
letters was the passage from Job, & The
Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken
away; blessed be the name of the Lord. :"
On Sunday morning he made this passage
the text for an impressive sermon in
harmony with the absobing thought of
the week. Job gave this utterance in the
midst of great sorrow. Our Nation was

related to the late President indiyiduallv.
and said, believing him to be a Christian
man we "sorrowed not as those without
hope" but believed that doubtless he had
entered into the rest that remained for
the people of God.
NJ. Z. CHURCH.
The n, r, Church was draped inside
and out. The pulpit was sbrouded and
heavy looped folds faced the pulpit recess,
a sable festoon extended all around the
gallery front, the supports were wrapped
in spiral folds while from the bracket
lights were suspended black bows. In
the front of the pulpit and resting against
1t was cross made of white roses
while on the same table in front of Il was
a beautiful hQpai crown The emblems OF
morning, the well.rehdeTed but solemn
anthem, the subdued demeanor of tbf
large audience and the earnest PRAYER and
sermon tended TO make it an occasion q
more than usual solemnity. Rev. Mr.
Rigg took for his subject the 7th chapter
of LIST Samuel and instanced the striking
similarity in number of particulars be

Secretaries Blaine and MacVeigh espe-

please the Nation at large to see the entire

propriety in every way of the new Presi-
dent having his choice of constitutional
advisers.
