Not 80 Green After All.

A chap from the rural districts
stepped into music store in the
city Of Providence, and, after taking
a fifteen minutes survey Of The con-
tents, he stepped up to the counter
and asked the clerk If he had any
new music -"bran new, just out?"
The clerk measured him with his
eye for a moment, and, thinking he
was ignorant as to music, and that
anything would be fresh TO his Gus
TONER that had been issued since the
days Of aRosin the Bow" decided to
palm off some old pieces which had
become a drug on the counter. So
he took up "The Last Rose Of Sum-
mer," and said:
Yes, here is a piece that goes with
a perfect rush, and here is The Old
Arm Chair another favorite. There
is When This Cruel War is Over
which is the rage all over the city,
",That will dew" replied Jona-
than. SLOW much do you ask for
the LOTT"
Zone dollar" returned the clerk.
"Waal, you may dew 'em up in a
piece Of paper and lay 'em on the
shelf"
The clerk obeyed, but Jonathan
did not pay for the music.
"l'm going up town o pisce," he
said, sand If l come back I will pay
for that music and take it; but if !
don't come back you may light your
pipe with The Last Rose of Sum-
mer,' sit down in The Old. Arm
Chair and wait till This Cruel War
is Over !"
Jonathan slid out of the door, and
the clerk looked as though he had
been sold.

Table Etiquette.

1t is with view of elcvating the
popular taste and etherealizing, so to
speak, the manners and customs of
our readers, that we give below a
few hints upon table etiquette;
Macaroni should be cut into short
pieces and eaten with All even, grace
full motion, not absorbed by the
yard.
Oranges are held on fork while
being peeled, and the facetious style
Of squirting the juice into the eye Of
your host is au reroir.
Stones in cherries and other fruit
should not be placed on the table
cloth, but slid quietly and unostcn-
tatiously into the pocket of your
neighbor, or no;sclessly tossed under
the table.
If by mistake you drink out OF
your tinger-bowl, laugh heartily and
make some facetious remark, which
will change the course of conversa-
ton and renew the friendly feeling
among the members of the party.
In drinking wine, when you get to
the bottom Of your glass do not
throw your head back and draw
your breath like the exhaust Of .
bath tub in order TO get the last
drop, as it engenders a feeling Of the
most depressing melancholy among
the guests.
If you cannot accept an invitation
to supper, do not write your regrets
on the back Of o pool check with q
blue lead pencil. This is not re.
garded as ''ricochet." A simple
note to your host, informing him
that your washerwoman refuses t.
relent, is sufficient.
On seoting yourself at the table
draw off your gloves and put them
in your lap under your napkin. Ds
not put them in the gravy, as il
would spoil the gloves and cast q
gloom over the gravy. If you have
just cleaned your gloves with ben.
zine, you must leave them out il
the front yard. - Cincinnati Far Jour.

The Dressmakers Place

There is the dressmaker who leads one
into extravaganza which at the time
appear necessities, but which have the
advantage at least of resulting in things
of beauty; and there is her opposite, In
whose hand one becomes an economist
and learns the secret of making a gown
out of scraps; there is the slattern who
never finishes off her seams, whose
dresses hang by threads so to speak. but
whose disposition Is Obliging; and there
is her sister workman, who knows every
bOdy's business, and tells it, who repeats
the make-shifts of her last customer,
and who, you feel sure, will carry a
strict account of your own short cOmings
to her next. Perhaps it is no wonder
that, living in such an atmosphere of
fashion and frivOlity, the dressmaker
sometimes becomes possessed with an ex-
aggerated idea of the Importance of fine
clothing, especially when she knows that
the subject holds such prominent place
in the minds and conversation of people
who ought to be devoted to more ambi-
tiOus things. Unless she takes special
care to develop herself in other direct
ions in her hours of recreation she en-
dangers the vitality of her intellectual
life. Because one is dressmaker shall
she not speak the shibbOleth Of the cultur-
wOmanp Shall nothing but frills and
furbelOws be expected of her? Shall she
not think of other sciences but those of
shlrring and plating and stitching?--

SATURDAY. JULY 20, 1882.
A Patronizing Subscriber.

The patronizing subscriber is the
most exasperating man with whom the
journalist has to deal. He does not hand
81 to the editor and request that the
paper be sent to his address for year
He Is not that sort Of man.
When he buys a railroad ticket he
pays cash down to the clerk who edits
the tickets with hand stamp, and to
the Chinese journalist who edits the
shirt with fiat-irOn he disburses some
of his wealth before he Hgets his shirt.
But when he patrOnizes the editor his
tactics are different. He says: "Well,
l reckon you'd better put my name
down for your paper. l really take
more papers now than l read, but
suppose will have to take yours, too.
We are all expected to do something
toward supporting the press, you know
He says this with the air of philan-
thrOpist subscribing for the controlling
interest in a narrOw-gauge railroad, or
a new church, on which he never ex-
poets to draw dividend, but, at the
same time he fOrgets to reduce his cash
balance by subscribing his So in adj
vance. He tells the editor to call on
him for the amount when he needs it.
He is careful to leave the impression
that he has no possible use for the
paper, and he will likely never read it,
but he merely wants to help the editor
out with the So he does not pay. Al
though the patrOnizing subscriber does
not contribute cent, he positively
imagines that he has squandered money
that should have gone to the deserving
poor. In time as the paper prospers he
comes to regard himself as the founder
and chief proprietor of it. The only
wonder is that he don't sell out as is
frequently the case, it fails to reflect his
religious and political views. When an
editorial demOlishes one of his pet theO-
ries, he begins to regret that he has been
talks of withdrawing his support from
the paper. He even hints at establish
ing an independent organ that will
turn for the copy that he has not yet
paid for, the exacting patron expects
that the editor will attempt in some
slight degree to pay off the national
debt of obligation to him, by bringing
his name before the people as suitable
man for some prominent position. If
this is not done he regards it as an evil
dence of base ingratitude.
He comes into the editorial room with
a manuscript describing the wonderful
idiosyncrasies of character displayed by
his house dog, or some other such mat
ter of national Importance, and wants
it put in the paper, and when the editor
reads it and suggests that his columns
are crowded and that he hardly thinks
the matter offered would interest the
subscribers anyhow, the patrOnizing
subscriber Is astOnished, and then he
goes off determined to bestOw his patron
age on some live paper that will appre-
ciate assistance. What exasperates him
most is for the editor to send him bill
for the two dollars of capital stock that

Great age and painful disease are sad CON-
binatiOn. Yet Mr.. William Westfall, former

to the Office of DR. David Kennedy, the emmi-
ment Physician and Surgeon of ROndOut NY,
some time since, in condition to excite the
sympathy Of the most cold blOOded and hard
hearted person in the world. We say he came
he was, rather, carried to the Doctors office,
for he was totally helpless, and bore the weight
of so years besides. He had suffered long from
Retention Of Urine, and had all the symptoms
OF an aggravated case of calculus formations
in the bladder. The usal instrumental exam
ination Revealed the presence Of urinary
calculus Of uncommon size. DIR. Kennedy
Frankly told Mr.. Westfall that, owing to his age
and debility, an operation was out OF the
question, but that he could, by the prescription
OF "Kennedy's FavOrite Remedy" with local
treatment make hin comfortable and leave
him to live out the remainder of his days. The
outcome OF this was that the patient enjoys
good health to this day.
The Reason Why
DIR. Ksnnedy's "Favorite Remedy Is being
extensively used by our people are as follows;
It is a combination of Vegetable alternatives. It
is pleasant to the taste, adapted to both sexes
and all ages, is effective in affording immediate

Messrs Smith. & Adams are turning
out large quantities of fine work at
their planning mill. Yesterday they ship
ped several elegant counters for st
Ignace and they are about completing
the pews for the Episcopal church at
Harbor Springs. The backs of the pews
are of ash, the panels being made of
matched lumber, the grain Of the wood
running up and down. Their dry kiln
is kept filed all the time, and notwith-
standing its capacity it is difficult
matter for them to keep the seasoned
lumber up to the demand for the work
they are doing. In addition to vast
quantities of their work made necessary
by the large amount of building beng
done in Cheboygan, they have great
demand from other points.
Smith Brothers are talking of re-
moving the Mullet Lake House to Che
boygan and building on the Summons
lot on the hill on upper Main street,
near upper Black River Avenue. Mr..
Cochran has made an estimate upon
the cost and the probabilities are that
Cheboygan can boast of having one of
the finest hotels in Northern Michigan
by another season. The proposed loca-
ton is the most desirable one for the
purpose in the village. Being elevated
it would afford fine view of the straits
and out on lake Huron for miles. An
other advantage would be the excellent
drainage that could be secured at a
small comparative cost. The seasons
are toe short to depend entirely upon
the patronage Of tourists to make the
house renumerative where it is. If it
was moved to ChebOygan it would not
only receive large patronage from
this class during the pleasure seeing
season but would also receive paying
patronage the year round.

Hints ter Arthur,

New York, 20.-ITmeS' editorial: The
President has been credited with intend
ing good many foolish things which he
has so FAR abstained from doing. One of
them was the appointment of Sargent as
secretary Of the interior, and though such
selection is not yet beyond the bounds of
possibility, it is daily becoming probable.
Similar remarks apply to the appoint
ment Of W. E. Chandler as secretary of
the navy, but perhaps the least probable
of the contemplated acts Of folly ascribed
to the President is the nomination of
Conkling ss secretary Of the treasury viee
Folger, presumably translated TO the
Supreme Court bench. The further
rumor that Fletcher would be chosen to
succeed Folger in the event indicated ia
so srotesquely absurd ss hardly to de.
serve serious mention.
