BIG THING, SURE.

A CITY ALIVE TO A MEMORABLE oCCA-
SION AND DETERMINED TO REACH UN-
PRECEDENTED RESULTS
The arrangements for the coming
0riole celebration in Baltimore are
certainly upon a scale which must
impress even the most enthusiastic
advocate of big events. That the
Monumental City is looking up and
has caught the spirit of enterprise
characteristi of the West is beyond
question. What she does is no Ion
ger by halves, but believing that
which is worth doing at all is worth
doing well, now proposes to outdo
even New Orleans in carnivals, and
in addition prevent attractions never
before dreamed OF. If Louisville
and Cincinnati have their great Ex-
positions, st. Louis her grand Fairs
and Chicago her Sangerfests, Bal
timore has her summer nights Car
nival, and that, too, after a fashion
which all Europe could not excel.
1t would not be surprise if Balti-
more soon INDUCED in ar Exposi.
ton herself, and when she does it
will be business, and no mistake.
Having demonstrated her ability to
surpass everything in the mystic
pageantline ever before attempted
and educated her thorough going,
energetic business men in public en-
terprises, the chances are that they
will naturally seek new channels for
their experience, and what more
likely than a big novelty in the way
of an Exposition, with features never
before presented?
Already Baltimore is perfecting
for the Oriole festivities an electric
programme which will astonish the
natives, and the Tuesday night of
carnival week promises a remarkable
series of attractions in which electric
itv will play most prominent part.
Baltimore was the first city in the
Union to demonstrate the practical
bility of the telegraph, the first to
construct a passenger railway, and
the first to illume her streets with
gas. Now she proposes to lead by a
long way the display of electric light
efiects-to be the first to prove its
wide field of possible operations.
The different electric companies in
the country are becoming greatly
interested in the exhibition, and will
vie with each other in lending expe-
rienced and practical aid. 1t will
be a memorable night, and one which
it will well repay a long journey to
enjoy. The Baltimore and Ohio,
the citys great road, is doing every
thing within the scope of its enor-
nous resources to make the celebra-
ton an unprecedented success.
Rates from all stations on its most
extensive system have been put way
down, to half the ordinary fare in
fact, and the details perfected for
carrying, with perfect satisfaction,
all who may come, no matter what
the number.
The oriole in Baltimore this year
is indeed to be big thing. and those
who enjoy the proverbial hospitality
of the Monumental City upon the
memorable occasion will never re.
gret it. 4rt~s,.~a o

What Ii Did for an Old Lady.

CosHoCToN, N. Y, Dec. %, 1878.
Gents-A number of people had
been using your Bitters here, and
with marked effect. In one case a
lady of over seventy years had been
sick for years, and for the past ten
years has not been able TO be
around half the time. About six
months ago she got SO feeble she was
helpless. Her old remedies, or ply
sicians, being of no avail, | sent to
Deposit, forty-five miles away, and
got bottle of Hop Bitters. 1t i'm
proved her so she was able to dress
herself and walk about the house.
When she had taken the second bot
tie she was able to take care of her
own room and walk out to her
neighbors, and has improved all
the time since. My wife and chill
dren also have derived great benefit
from their use.

A well-known physician in GER
tain town is very much annoyed by
an old lady, who is always sure to
accost him in the street for the pur-
pose of telling him her ailments.
Once she met him in Picadilly, Lon.
don, when he was in a great hurry
"Ah! l see you are quite feeble, ,
said the doctor, shut your eyes, and
show me your tongue" She obeyed
and the doctor, quietly moving off
left her standing there for some time
in this ridiculous position, to the
amusement of allwho witnessed the
funny scene.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of composition known
as albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible Of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dus; and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

that he, as well as his family have

the telegraph. They are only relics

Years ago what is now styled the
old fashioned porous plaster did
some good service. There was then
nothing better ofthe kind. Now all
that is changed. Science and study
have gone deeper into the science of
medicine and produced Benson's

bodies all the excellencies thus far
possible in an external remedy. The
old plasters were slow-the Capcine

To the Editor Of the Bee.
Sir: am one of those who are in
terested i'll the present and future of
my race, and think it my indispensable
duty to do all in my power for the
furtherance of their intellectual ad-
vancement. believe in historic and
literary society because they tend to do
much good when presided over and
conducted by impartial and intelligent
officers. But, sir, l believe they be
come nuisance the moment they are
conducted, by ignoranse for selfish
motives. The Bethel literary of this
city, is one of the grandest Of the kind
among our people in this country. 1t
is always well attended by persons who
have an appetite for knowledge. Papers
upon various subjects are produced by
the leaders of Our race. and are dis
cussed intelligently. Now, society
like Bethel should be conducted upon
board and noble platform. But you
ask, is it not? | answer, no, no,
Thousand time no. There is few men
who, because they have tarried in
Canada, think they possess more ex-
perience than Capt. Cook, who circum-
navigated the world. Others think be-
cause their fathers and uncles who were
great men y that they have inherited
the same gifts, and to let their audience
know how extremely smart they are.
They make jackasses of themselves.
How true, "a little learning is a dan
gerOus thing" The officers of the
Bethel literary are in possession of the
peculiar characteristics | have des-
cribed. They are IN organized "click',
only certain favored ones are allowed
to speak. Notwithstanding, strangers
are especially invited to discuss. Some
times courageous strangers accept the
farcical invitation to say something.
But if they do not happen to have as
good Il flow of language as the SOlORS
of the Society they are either laughed
at or raped down by the distinguished
presMent(?) The regular chairman
is bad enough, but when he takes the
floor for the purpose of entering into
discussion and tell how he explored
Scotland and the north pole (P) he
puts into the chair man whose stom-
ach and conceit overbalances his brain,
he is tough and insulting, and would
n,ake a first class sergeant at arms for
the society. He never recognizes any
one but his favorites, who like himself,
are not able to discuss three letters
in the alphabet much more an intelli
gent paper. For the past two or three
meetings of the society | have noticed
the conduct of this protean chairman.
| trust the next time the election Of
officers takes place that the society will
select intelligent and impartial men and
not partial nincompOops. In the mean
time it will be Il benefit to the gentle
man y who occupies the chair for a
short time every meeting night to
purchase CushingS manual and
study it's rudiments, before attempting
to render Il parliamentary decision, as
to recognition, etc, etc.
