The Greatest Worlds Fair.

1t IS not so we'll known as it ought tn
be that the New Orleans Exposition
which will open three weeks hence
will be in many respects the greatest
worlds fair ever seen.
IN nearly every State in the Union
except Pennsylvania the greatest in

the enterprise. Even little Vermont
promises $1,000.
there can be no valid reason WHY
TINS State should not honor itself mn
less 1t Is the rooted belief that nothing
can come up to our Centennial. This
is not true.
The New Orleans Exposition has
standing to-day the largest main build
ing ever erected. 1t roofs over thirty
three acres. The horticultural hall is
quarter of mile long. The art build
ing is two hundred and fiftv wide
California promises the grandest dis

try IN Central America will make as
complete as possible exhibit of flora.

From the Old World immense exhibits
from fairs now open at London, Man

copenhagen are coming. China will
occupy ten thousand feet of space.
Siam and Persia have applied and the
United States Government will have
most complete exhibit.
These are only a few of the great

Tl9 odd Fellows Cemetery
OF
SMYRNA, DEL.

The Trustees of this Cemetery are now
ready to sell lots and issue deeds for the
same. The size Of a whole lot is 30x32 feet
and the prices are as follows For whole
lot $50; half lot, $50; quarter lot, $50.
There is not badly situated lot in the
Cemetery, but every one has u choice Of
location, and there being but one price
according to size enables those first select
ing to get their choice of location, and as
there have been several already sold, we
would advise those who have no place of
burial that it will be to their advantage to
select them as early rs possible
This is undoubtedly the hest location in
this vicinity for a Cemetery, being all high
and a nearly level piece of land, beauti-
fully situated on the State road, within
sight of the town, and yet at such a dis
lance from it as to guarantee that it will
never be used for other than Cemetery pur-
poses land the deed Of agreement positively
forbids its use for any other purpose than
that Of sepulture). For further particulars

Fred Douglass, who is without doubt
the ablest colOred leader in the coun-
try, is reported as taking very gloomy
view of the future political condition
of the negro under Democratic rule.
While cOnceding that the less the col
ored people have to do with politics
the better off they are, he is very en-
phatic in declaring that the election of
Cleveland means the political death of
the negro.

The Democrats of to-day are not the

Doug lass is wrong when he says that if
Cleveland is elected it means the politi-
cal death of the negro. The Fifteenth
Amendment is part of the Constitution
of the United States, and is as valid.
and will be treated as faithfully under
one administration as another. The
negro has nothing to fear, nor for that
matter has the country. A nation as
great as this one is bound to rise supe-
nor TO any man or party. A change is
not necessarily a retrograde move

The indignation of Republicans

As TO The FUTURE.-In New York
$500 votes were cast for General
Garfield in 1880. This wear about
$4,000 votes, nearly all Republican.
were cast for the Prohibition ticket.
and yet there were about $4,000 votes
for Mr.. Blaine. The Republicans
therefore gained, from other quarters.
about 5000 more votes than they lost
by diversion to st. John or by direct
transfer of boiling free-traders to
Cleveland.
In New Jersey, the vote for Mr..
Blaine is $500 more than the vote cast
for Garfield in 1880, and vet there
were about 5000 voters diverted to the
Prohibition ticket. Assuming that
there were 5000 former Republicans
who voted for Cleveland, as the boilers
claim, the Republicans must have
gained nearly $4,000 votes from the
former Democrats or from new voters.
A similar state of facts appears in
other Northern States. The Republi-
can party has gained more votes than
1t has lost, both by the transfer of free
traders to Cleveland and by the diver
cion to st. John. That doesn't have a
mOrlbund lOOk.-N. y. Tribune.

How TO GET FAT.-TO eat supper
just before going to bed is a great aid
toward getting tleshy. The food so
taken goes all to fat. A nap after
each meal is also conducive to the
same great end, but gentle exercises
should be taken between meals to pro-
mote appetite. Large doses of fresh
air, avoidance of enviOus thoughts. en-
tire contentment with ones lot in life,
ones children, husband, relatives and
friends, complete elf-satisfaction-all
are conducive to the same great end.
There is one great advantage derived
from the craze on fat or no fat. 1t is a
poor rule that don't work both wavs.
and many of the laws for gaining or
losing flesh are the same aud are great
health prOmpters. The formation of
tennis, skating, swimming and walk
ing clubs, the patrOnizing of them bv
both stout and thin alike, is adding
greatly to the death of our women,

able and it is considered rather a re-
Proach to be delicate. San Francis

are going out of style, and physicians
who make female complaints a sDec-
ialty are losing money. Our growing
girls are we'll developed for their age
and, following the example of their
mothers, are devoted to all manner of
physical exercises. Pretty girls natur
ally, perfect health will make them
beautiful and strong enough to stand
any amount of mental culture. What
may we not predict for the future of
San Francisco, ruled by the sons of
such women ? for, after all, boy is

Mysterious pisappearancs.


Some time ago, miner named e. A.
Powell visited Tucson and made an ex.
travagant statement Of the richness oi
certain claims he had discovered in Mar.
icopa county. He was well dressed and
exhibited coin and pocketfull OF gold
nuggets. His health seemed to be poo r,
and he complained of some incurable ill
ness in the chest.
As he hired several men at Lordsburg,
Benson and Tucson, advanced wages
to them in several instances, and
purchased a team for them by which
they were to convey themselves and
baggage to the mine, his story seemed
reasonable enough to believe. At the
time he started from Tucson he left di.
rections about his mail being sent u
Wicksnbnrg; but all letters addressed Ia
him at that place have been returned
undelivered.
His relatives in the South have writ.
ten concerning him, but have obtained
no clue TO his whereabouts. We there
fore conclude that Powell was either
crazy or liar; or that he has been mur
dered or died q natural death, and Oil,

oreeley's Abstemiousness.

Gen. Sheridan relates the following
anecdete Of Horace Greeley:
was stationed at New Orleans when
MIR. Greeley came there on his tour when
q candidate for the presidency. The old
Creole residents gave him dinner, and
to make it as fine'an affair as possible,
each Of the many hosts was laid under
contributions for some Of the rarest
wines in his cellar. Whom dinner was
announced and the half-shell oysters had
disappeared, the waiter appeared at Mr..
Greeley's seat with plateful Of beauti.
ful shrimp. "You can take them away,
he said to the waiter, and then he added
apologetically to the Mortified old French
Creole gentleman who presided, 81
never eat insects Of any kind" Later on
soup was served, and at the same time
glass of delicious white wine was placed
at Mr.. Greeley's right hand. He pushed
II aside quietly, but not unobserved by
the chief host. ado you not drink
winef' he asked. "No,'' answered Mr.
Greeley, II never drink any liquors.
"Is there anything you would IKE tf
drink with your soup'" the host then
asked, little disappointed. I'll you've
got it," answered Mr.. Greeley, land II
isn't any trouble, I'd like to have a
glass OF fresh butternilk." ''Mor

The wrong Back.

An invalid gentleman and his wife en-
gagged berth In Pullman car; towards
midnight the patient awoke with se-

to apply mustard plaster as quickly
a. possible. The latter at oncs got the
plaster ready, and then ran to the other
end Of the carriage TO warm it at the
lamp to make 1t draw oil the better.
Returning to her sick husband the little
woman unfortunately went to the wrong
section, which happened to be occupied
by stout wine merchant, who was fast
asleep. She quickly drew the curtain,
lifted the bedclothes, and in twinkling
clapped the plaster on the travellers
back. At that moment the sick husband
called out from his berth. "Mary, what
. long time you aref' Now the poor
woman first became aware of her terrible
mistake. Hurrying to her husband, she
told him in whisper what she had
done. The poor sufferer could not help
Hughing in spite Of his pain, and he
I1&ughed until his pain had left him.
Then all was still for while, until sud-
denly loud cries and imprecations were
proceeding from the wine merchant.

A Lark's Trust in Mankind.

A romantic incident is vouched for by
fhe Elgin Courant. q Scotch paper. A
kentlsman while in the fields heard the
FRIES Of q bird apparently in distress.
looking mp he saw lark pursued by q
pawk which, by series OF fierce dashes,
ried to secure his prey. For time the
ark evaded the attacks. but the hawk
continued to gain, and the lark, terror
tricken. seeing the man below, came
own like ap arrow aud actually fut-
cred into his hand. where it covered,
rembling. The pursuer followed until
iaidln six yards. bat seeing what had
rcurred it few of in disgust. After q
tme the lark was liberated. when it
pared aloft, singing, doubtless. a song
gratitude to its deliverer.
