! Hawley, of Connecticut, Senator Miller, of New
York General George II. Sharpe Chauncey NJ. Depew,
and Mayor Buckley, of Hartford arrived by the
Saratoga train to-day and crossed over from Fish
kill by the small ferry boat, which was so crowded
! that there was fear of some disaster. Two ferry
boats will run tomorrow.
| Mr. Stafford, of Maryland, lineal descendant of
cousin of the famous Paul Jones, also arrived in
Newburg with the battle-fag which the BonhOmme
Richard carried in the action with the Scraps. He
was received by the committee of FIVE who man

miral Cooper, who commands the Naval Squadron in
Newburg Bay.
Company b Of the 71st Regiment of NewYork ar
rived this morning: also the Putnam Phalanx Of
Hartford 125 strong, and several members of the
Old Guard of New-YOrk. The West Point Band
came by steamer, but General Merritt will not per-
nit the cadets to join the parade to take any part
in the celebration Of tomorrow; although, from tne
historic point of view, West Point is indissOlubly
connected with the military proceedings at New
burg in 1888, which the centennial celebration
ceremonies mmemOrate. Governor Cleveland
comes in the morning. President Arthur will not
attend.
The business part of the city is brilliantly ilumi-
mated with improved electric lights, Chinese Ian
terms, transparent notices. eagles and other patri-
otic embems in gas-iets The most effective decora-
tion in the latter is at the office of the Consumers
Gas Company, the apparatus for which was
furnished by the Unexcelled Fireworks Com
pany of New-York, which provides the display to-
morrow night. There is an enormous crowd OppO-
site this all the time, and the street is at times
almost impassablo SO that the fire companies and
bands and military companies arriving have con-
siderable difficulty in passing. There are, however,
only two blocks in Water-st. Illuminated, and on
FrOnt-st. there illuminatiOus around the hotels
and the ferry-hOD~e.
Ten thousand soldiers, sailors, fremon and mem
beTs of the Grand Army Of the Republic will be IN
line tomorrow at 10 o'clock, and the march will
begin at 1 o'clock promptly. Colonel Charles II.

The IallapOOSa will arrive at tomorrow morn
ing with Secretary Chandler aud numerous party

the United States Army, which, 80 far can be
learned will consist Of the West Point Band and
the artillery from the New York forts.

favorable seasons will come, and insect
enemies must be fought, yet the great
est cause of failure to make fruit grow
Ing pay-with those who do thus fail
IS perhaps attributable to lack of knowl-
edge and good management in selling
or marketing. Therefore no one should
enter into the business without study
ing how he is to dispose of as well as
produce choice fruit"
Ii is said that in Poland, where ven
tllatlou and drying are continued for
some time, wheat has been kept sound
and good for half a century. It's age
never does it injury, and such wheat is
said to yield handsomer and better flour
than that obtained from grain more re-
Gently harvested. At Dantzic the pre-
paratlon for keeping wheat continues for
year or longer, and after this period it
IS often kept for seven years, perfectly
sound, IN large granaries, although
Daptzlc issurroundedby the sea. These
facts show how easily wheat may be
preserved if proper precaution "a are
taken.

A Tale of Telegraph Ticking.

A well-to-do young man recently mar.
rled and started west on his bridal tour.
The happy young couple were breakfast.
ing at station eating house. During
the repast two smart Alexis came into
the eatin groom and seated themselves
opposite the contracting parties. They
we're telegraph operators. By delicate
posing of their knife and fork they were
able to make sounds in close imitation
of telegraphy. In the mystic language
of the key one said unto the other:
CANT she daisy, though ?"
The party thus addressed replied by
clicking off:
Wouldn't I like to kiss her, the little
fat angel"
Wonder who that old bloat is that
she has married ?"
"Some gorgeous granger, I reckon. -
replied the other.
The groom stood it until forbearance
ceased to be a virtue, when he also bal
anced his knife, and click, click it went
in rapid succession. 1t was INELIGIBLE
to the very cute twain that had recently
made fun of its author. When inter
preted it read:
'sDEAR SIRs: / am superintendent of the
telegraph line upon which you work. You will
please send your time to Headquarters and re-
sign yous positions at once.

American F ables.
tFrom the Detroit Free Press. !

A peasant who had often heard that
truth was jewel lying at the bottom OF
well, one day descended into his well
to search for the treasure. He skinned
his knees and elbows, barked his nose,
run an old fork into his foot, and SHY
cred around for six long hours before his
wife drew him up and asked:
"What in goodness name were you
doing down there 2"
Looking for truth.
"Why could have told you before
you went down that you were the big
gest fool in Americar'
Moral: You can get more truth than
you want around any well-curb.
THE SAILOR AND THE SHARK.
A sailor who had fallen overheard and
was speedily interviewed by shark,
cried out to his enemy:
''H2ve pity on man who is down."
''My friend" replied the shark, ga
man who keeps himself above water is
OF no use to me. Now is my timer
Moral: The man who falls overheard
In business can expect no fayors of the
sheriff.
THE FOX AND THE FARMER.
A fox one day made a call upon a
peasant and bitterly complained of the
custom of shutting poultry up nights in
fox-proof pens. SIT isn't because 1 suf-
fer at all" added Reynard, shut think
how uncomfortable it must be for the
poor fowls. 1t is their condition I wish
to mitigate"
The peasant took the Eatter under
advisement, and next evening he neg
lected-to shut up his fowls. Next morn
ing he came across the fox just as he had
finished feasting on fat pullet and cried
out: "Ahl this is the way you take to
pity my poor fowls, is it %
"WelI, you see,' grinned Reynard,
81 feel very sorry for the fowls, but at
the same time cannot afford to miss an
opportunity. y
Moral: The man with ten acres of
land to sell is the chap who first sees the
need of an orphan asylum.

with the world, we were at rest and
peace at last.
Elroyd Grey came again and tried
to weave the old subtle web around me-.
But I had broken It's meshes once and
they were powerless now. The glamour
had been suddenly torn away FROM the
idol, and all his strange destinations
could not replace it.
"I turned away heart-sick from all
his vows and protestations, and told him
it could never be. And SO, Georgia, il
all ended. He went away. and I never
saw him afterward. My life has been
quiet and peaceful, but there is wound
in my heart that bleeds afresh when
hear of the vain worship of worthless
idols.
In the gathering gloom Georgia wept
softly.

THE HOME DOCTOR.
TO CURE A FEUON.

IL COtShI a EELONs
lake q pint of common sOft-sOap and
STIR III air-slacked lime till it is of the
consistency of glaizers' putty. Make a
leather thlmble, fill it with this compost
ton and insert the finger therein, and
the cure is certain.
POISON BY IVY.
An 1nfallible remedy for poisoning by
ivy, poison oak and other poisonous
vines and plants, is good rich butter
milk Id which you have beaten some
green tansy leaves until the milk is
thoroughly tinctured. Battle the parts
often until relieved. Wet cloth with
the mixture at night, and lay on, wet
ting as often as it feels dry.
CURE FOR GROUP.
Group can be cured in one minute,
and the remedy is simply alum and mo-
lasses. The way to accomplish the deed
is to take knife and CRATE and shave off
IN small particles about a teaspoonful of
alum; then mix it with twice its quantity
OF molasses to make it palatable, and adj
minister it as quick as possible. Almost
instantaneous relief will follow by vom-
ltlng.
LIGHTNING,
strip and dash the body with cold water,
dry and place in bed with bottles of hot
water at the pit of the stomach and ex-
tremlties, keeping up artificial respira-
ton until the natural breathing is re-
stored; teaspoon of brandy in a table
spoon OF water may be given every few
minutes. Burns from lightning should
be treated like burns from any other
cause.
FOR FOREIGN BODY IN NoSTRIL.
Children often push foreign bodies up
the the nostril. To remove it, make the
child draw long breath, and then, clos
ing the other nostril with the finger, and
the mouth with the hand, expel the air
from the lungs by sharp blow on the
back. Ii it can not be removed In this
way, compress the nostril above it to
prevent it's going up any further, and
hook it out with the bent end of wire
or bodkin. If this fails, call a surgeon.
BITES OF DOGS.
The only safe remedy in case of a
bite from dog suspected of madness, is
to burn out the wound thoroughly with
red hot iron, or with lunar caustic, for
fully eight seconds, so as to destroy the
entire surface of the wound. Do this as
soon as possible, for no time is to be
lost. If unfortunately, il should chance
that any one is bitten by dog that is
said to be mad, it is worth while
to chain the animal up, instead of shoot
ing it instantly, for if it should turn out
that it is not mad-and false alarm is
frequently raised-the relief to the minds
of all concerned is indescribable.
