which we told YOU recently. This is one OF
the funniest and brightest books for young

are splendid and will make the boys and
girls roar with laughter. The Boston Budget
says: "As a holiday book nothing could be
more appropriate, since nothing could confer
or, alter pleasure upon the little ones" The
National Republican says: Every page is a

Now For the Town Hall.

The election is over, and Shepherds
town will once more pursue the even
tenor of its way. There are no other
important questions to distract at
tention, SO let's build TOWN HALL.
We have referred to this matter be
fore. The public has considered the
matter before. Still we have no town
hall. But now let's go at it again,
and let's keep at it until we get it. A
meeting of the Ladies Town Hall AS
ISOLATION has been called for Satur-
day afternoon at the home Of Mrs.
Reynolds, when some steps will be
taken looking TO the furtherance OF
| the project. This Association now
has nearly 5000 in its treasury, but
the money is accommodating very slow
ly. Unless more active means are
adopted our grandchildren will be OF
age before the hall is built. We hope
all our citizens will get to thinking
over this subject, and try to study up
some means to help it along. The
REGISTER will do all in its power for
the good cause.
We don't suppose it is necessary to
argue as to the need of hall. There
is no place to hold an entertainment
of any kind-nor lecture, nor a col
lege commencement, nor a fair, nor
anything of that sort.
There need not be any trouble at all
in building nice hall-all that is nee
essary is for every one to do his or her
part.

4 Serious Crime Inverted.

Last Tuesday morning while Nellie
and Laura Butler, the bright and
pretty little granddaughter of Hon.
c.. II. Butler, who resides about two
miles from Shepherdstown, were on
their way to Mrs. Pendleton's, about
a half mile away, they had serious
fright and probably an escape from
dastardly assault. While the children
were walking along the railroad they
were accosted by a dirty and repulsive-
looking tramp, who seized Nellie, the
elder of the two. The frightened chill
dren screamed loudly, and attracted
the attention of Mr.. Joseph kisner,
who was working near by. When he
made his appearance the tramp let
the child go, and she and her sister
ran to Mrs. Pendleton's, almost con
vulsed with terror. Mr.. Kisner, Hugh
Pendleton and colored boy then ran
after the tramp and arrested him. He
was brought to town, where he was
given hearing before Magistrate ID.
l.. Rentch. Mr.. Rentch held him for
court, and Col. Morgan at once took
him to Charlestown and lodged him
in the county jail. The tramp, who
gave his name as Tony Drovich and
his age as 30 years, is typical speci-
men of his class. He is dirty, lousy
and ill-kempt in appearance He is a
German, but says he has been in
America five years

Alcohol for DiplItheria.

Alcohol. we make bold to say, is the
prince of antiseptics and the most perfect
and reliable medicine of which we have
any knowledge in diphtheria. Diluted
with equal parts Of water and given in
small and repeated doses, the malignant
symptoms of this most fatal malady soon
disappear, and convalescence becomes
assured. 1t is interesting to note with
what facility the alcohol dissolves the
diphtheric eXudation IN the throat, lowers
the temperature and calms the pulse,
showing its destructive action upon the
germs Of the disease. which have been
absorbed by the glands and gained Access
to the blood. This remedy has been used
by us in the treatment of diphtheria since
1873, during which time no case of the
disease has slipped through our hands
except in one solitary instance, and that
case was in articulo morris before the
remedy was given. The remedy = also
propl. ylactic to the disease, as We ave
found in many instances where It has
been expedient to quarantine the patient.
For this purpose it is only necessary for
exposed persons to use the remedy,
diluted as above stated, as a gargle and
to swallow little of it three or four
times day.-Medical Times,

The study of Shorthand.

Nothing, in my judgment surpasse.
Che study of shorthand for mental train
ing. 1t is, in its very essence, an ac'
auirement that lies far outside Of tho
mental limits sttainable by idiocy, and
the application of its principles calls for
the constant exercise of greater and
steadier power Of concentration than the
technicalities of any other known accom-
plishment. The fastest writer is hnbitu-
ally. on the average. nom six TO dozen
words behind the speaker, and to carry
shese in the mind. while at the same time
executing multifarious stcnoTaphic in
tricacies upon the paper, is feat which
can hardly be said. with truth, to lessen
the brains retentive faculty.-A. E.

symbols In the Ca,acombs.

The following symbols, borrowed from
the Scriptures, were frequently repre-
sented in the Catacombs, and relate to
the virtues and duties of the Christian
life: The dove, with or without the olive
branch, the type of simplicity and inno-
eence; the ship, representing sometimes
the church as safely sailing through the
flood Of corruption, with reference to
Noall's ark, sometimes the individual
soul on its voyage to the heavenly home
under the conduct Of the storm contron-
ng Saviour; the palm branch, which
the seer of the Apocalypse puts into the
hands of the elect as the sign Of victory:
the anchor, the figure Of hope; the Tyre.
denoting festal joy, sweet harmony; the
cock, an admonition TO watchfulness.
with reference to Peters fall; the hart,
which pants for the fresh water brooks;
and the vine, which, with its branches
and clusters, illustrates the union of the
Christians with Christ according to the
parable John XIV, 1-Gl, and the richness
and fullncss Il Christian life.-Professor
Philip Schaif in The Century.
