FPIENp BooTH; l learn with some surprise
that through misunderstanding between
your manager and my own you are billed
for Cleveland on the same evening with Mr..
Riley and myself,
In order TO give the people OF Cleveland
an opportunity to witness two OF Americas
greatest tragedans without Inconvenience, !
have decided TO change my own date, so as
TO avoid any annoyance by dividing the
audience. Sentiment in Cleveland, find, is
about equally divided on the question of
dramatic and tragic Interpretation between
you and |. Some like your style of melan-
choly best, while those who have used mine
say they would have no other. So | think
it would be better to give each and all an
opportunity to judge fairly and impartially
between us,
believe that while your stage sadness is
the perfection of mastery Interpretation, it
is not entered into so thoroughly and partici-
pated in by the audience as mine is am in
PRODUCING this winter style of sad that is
becoming quite popular and brings tears to
eyes unused to weep
Everywhere so hear you very highly
spoken of, however, think you are giving
general satisfaction wherever you go, l will
try to go and hear you at Cleveland. have
read the play before so 1t will not be new to
me, but l would enjoy going very much and
my presence might induce Others to go. 1t
does not matter much where / sit You can
put me wherever you think | would attract
the most attention.
After the performance is over l will come
back on the stage and congratulate you.
Hoping that you are well, and that the
awkward conflict of our dates may be salts
factorily adjusted so that your pecuniary
loss will be merely nominal, | remain yours
with kind regards, BILL NYE.

tlergymen's Dyspepsia.

A writer in The New York Tribune
says that clergymen are physi ally the
LATEST people in the world and that many
of them are so frequently invited to eat
big dinners and &C ept the invitations that
they become early victims of dys epsia
Whether clergymen are more or less fond
of work than other PEG lie is very bard to
prove or disprove. But as to the big din
ners the average clergyman does not get
enough of them to put his digestive APP
paratus out of order
When clergy men have the dyspepsia it
is more generally from living on tough
meat and other low, priced things for
economy's sake than from an excess of
sumptuous fare. Or sometimes it is
from the mental strain involved In the
effort to bring up family on half q
salary, irregularlv paid Cnce in long
while a minister may be found whose
health has suffered from too much big
dinner such cases are exceptional,
Most clergymen. .ust like other people,
are fond of getting as good dinners as are
to be had and to the best of their belief
there is no law against it, either of church
or state

There was no time during the rebellion,
when did not think. and often say. that
the south was more to be benefited by de
feat than the north. The latter had the
people, the institutions and the territory
to make great and prosperous nation.
The former was burdened with an insti-
tuition abhorent to all civilized peoples
not brought up under it and one which
de graded labor, kept it in ignorance and
enervated the governing class With
the outside world at war with this
institution the, could not have
extended their territory The labor of
the country was not skilled, nor allowed
to become So The whites could not toll
without becoming degraded, and those
who did were denominated poor white
trash.," The system of labor would have
soon exhausted the soil aud left the people
poor The non slaveho ders would have
left the country, and the small STAKEHOLDER
must have sold out to bis more fortunate
neighbors. Soon the slaves would have
outnumbered the masters, aud not being
in sympathy with them, would have rise6
in their might and eNterminated them.
The war was expensive to the south as
well as the north, both in blood and
treasure, but it wa S worth all it cost

Commercial Instinct of the italian.

The commercial instinct exist all over
Italy, but in, the south its exhibitions are
80 petty as to keep those who are obliged
to subject themselves to its vexations In
state of irritation. 1t presents itself to
the customer as an incessant effort to
invent reasons for enhancing the price
which seems like dishonesty. Meanness
Is not necessarily an attribute Of poverty,
but it is apt to be associated with it, and
it certainly is unfortunate that one can
not be at the same time poor and
generous For instance, there are certain
articles that are made to be sold together,
a fact that the small dealer does not see
fit to recognize, unless compelled.
For instance, l remember purchasing q
bottle of mucilage at Rome to which
brush had been originally attached as q
part of the article itself. Bat the brush
had been detached, and when it was In
quired for had to be paid several soldi for
extra. The thing itself was of no conse-
quence, but the manner of the transac-
ton made it detestable, for l had seen 1t
numberless times at hotels and railroad
stations, and where it was possible to so
manipulate articles sold, or apportionats
services rendered SO as to extract little
more money Business in the north Of
| Italy runs in broader grooves, and there Is
| no doubt that even in the benighted
| regions of Naples and Calabria it will
| take more enlightened forms when educa-
| ton becomes more general and a knowl-
edge of the ways of other nations more
| widely diffused. - Cor. San Francisco
| Chronicle.

To the Friends and Patrons OF
the Londonderry Sitter.

Yesterday, at eight o'clock, Mr.. Hit,
with WaterM a Martin, of Brattle-
boro, ]. O. Ullery of the Retormer of
flee, md deputy sheriff j, w. Mellen-
DIV, came into our Office to remove the
press which had been sold two weeks
before. This, of course, we had eX-
pected; and while these gentlemen
were sweating over the taking the
press to pieces, we, with two girls, were
busy setting type, expecting to make
up our forms that evening, and take
them to Brattleboro to-day and have
the inside printed; but alas, for human
expectancy, about - o'clock, or nearly
so, the obliging deputy informed us
that we need set no more, as he was
going to remove the type and fixtures,
which he proceeded to do. This morn
ing we took the train for Brattleboro,
and thanks to Messrs Selleck u Davis,
Mr.. ID. Leonard, and the editor of the
Valley Record, who kindly permitted
us to use his matter for filling up, here
we are, in an imperfect state, it is true,
but with room for growth, which we
shall certainly make next week, and
so continue from week to week. And
in very few weeks we shall have the
use of new type and press in London
derry, and more, both will be red-hot
for all frauds and humbugs, political
tricksters and traders, caucus-packers
and free pass-ites, these fellows that go
up and down the earth riding and fat
tening at the expense of the people,
From this there will be no variation
nor shadow of turning.s,ssse s,s.
Do YOU like the platform? If so,
give us your aid Only one dollar a
year.
We can but briefly state this week,
that this suit and attachments were
made wholly for the suppression of
this paper, as not one dollar can be
realized from it to apply on debt. This
we shall fully show next week. We
have only time to say, to-day, that the
SITTER is going to appear every week,
and to ask its friends to stand by it
with their subscriptions. In a few
weeks we shall be right side up, double
shotted and steel armored, prepared to
fight the battles of the people, and
shall continue in the contest until the
people dismiss US. The political hum
bugs, pettifoggers and free riders can
not scare us, and the whole pack, from
Gov. Smith down through the laby-
rinths of political nastiness, to Lo
Martin, haven't got money enough to
buy us.

Local Summary.

The Baptist church was crowded

both the exercises and Christmas tree
reflected credit upon the Society.
As near as we can learn there has
been no material change in the case of
Miss Alice Walker, and it continues
to be the sensation Of the day.
Last evening crowded house lis
tened to and applauded Markham, the
Brattleboro singer. A large number

good thing of it. Glad of it, as we
want to see all societies and all bust

When the construction of the great
trunk subterranean telegraph lines in
france and Germany was entered upon,
1t was thought that wing to their depth
under ground and their sheathing of

Delicious Gravy.

At meeting of a clerical club in an old
New England village the late Rev Or.
Clarke once read strenuous and ell oquent
paper on total abstinence to the delight of
all his hearers, savs thu hostess who took
the first opportunity to tell her husband
that she had branded peaches for supper,
and that it was impossible to make change
at that hour. When the peaches were
served the essayist who had the post of
honor at his hostess right hand, seemed to
find them remarkable fine, AMI was per-
suaded to take second helping. After a
while the lady said to him: "Dr. Clarke,
won you allow me to give you some more
Of these peaches'" "Well, really" said the
simple old DOCTOR they are delicious, but
think I'll only take little more of the

The voice was new voice, mex pressibly

"Thank God" he cried with streaming

Then he told them in a little speech,
punctuated with smiles and tears, how
Mary was his sweetheart, how he had
doubted her, how he had deserted her,
how he had suffered, and how he had
been punished,
1t was all clear now, and the camp MOI
only had grand jubilee over the reunion
and wedding of Bolus and Shivtrs, but
the very next week had the pleasure Of
hanging the real murderer of the man

rope they had bought for him.
Bolus was too glad to be greedy.-Wil
