suit of the pending presidential con-
test. But for all that great deal OF

Is excitement in it. 1t is a good way
to express ones confidence and there
is the chance for gain, hence a resort
TO it in every conceivable form,

northern states including Connecticut,
New Jersey and New York, and
place thousand dollars on each one
of them with an additionafone thous-

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af-
tlicted? II You will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was CON-
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. SO it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness.

arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its fuuc-

At Ross Opera House Tonight.

The Hicks-Sawyer Colored Min
strels made very attractive display
ou the streets yesterday and from
the pleased expression of those who
witnessed the performance. they must
have made good display there also.
They give very nice entertainment,
their singing being specially good,
while their dancing, fancy military
drills and funny business are equal
to anything of the kind ever seen
here. For some reason there seems
to be special charm about their
work which is not possessed by white
minstrels. Already there is large
advance sale for the week. Last
night the house was packed.-PittS-

Few people are aware, says an ex.

more than half way round the globe.
When the sun is giving its final
gleam to our westermost isle, on the
confines of Behring's sea. it is already
flooding the fields and forests OF
Maine with its morning light, and in
the eastern part of the state is more
than an hour high. At the very mo-
ment when the Aleutian fisherman
warned by the approaching shades of
night, is pulling his canoe towards
the shore, the wood chopper of Maine
is beginning to make the forest echo

as our entertainments arc scarce out

to last through hay harvest, and l
think they succeeded.
About eleven o'clock the school
children, under the teacher, Miss
Sophia Gronnell, formed outside and
marched into the school house,
where their songs, declamations and
dialogues were well rendered. Some
of the others read essays. The Dec
laration of Independence was read,
few remarks were made by w. A.
Wherry (some of the babies cried
with good share of patriotism while
the declaration was being read).
We all went out to a grove where
table had been prepared, and il
seemed that the ladies were vieing
with each other to see who could fur
nish the most victuals and who made
the best pies and cake, and who would
succeed in getting their supply di-
minished first. You may bet some of
MS done good service when it come to
that; and if every one did not get
enough to eat it was because they
were afraid of shower of rain.
After dinner we all amused our
selves with swinging and croquet and
other games, and drinking lemonade
We did not have anything stronger
visible. After a pleasant dancing
party and some fireworks in the even.

Some ingenious persons have given
a meaning to the location of postage
stamps on a letter. For example,
they say that when a stamp is invert-
ed on the right-hand upper corner il
means that the person written to is
to write no more. If the stamp be
placed on the left-hand upper corner
and inverted, then the writer declares
his affection for the receiver of the
letter. When the stamp is in the
center OF the top it signifies an affirm
ative answer to a question. or the
question, as the case may be; and
when it is at the bottom, or opposite
this, it is a negative. Should the
stamp be on the right-hand corner, al
right angle, it asks the question il
the receiver of the letter loves the
sender, while in the left-hand corner
it means that the writer hates the
other. There is shade OF difference
between desiring ones acquaintance
and friendship, for example: the
stamp at the upper corner on the
right expresses the former, and on the
lower left-hand corner means the lat,
ter. The learned il this language re.
quest their correspondents to accept
their love by placing the stamp on a
line with the surname, and the res.
ponse is made, if the party addressed
be engaged, by placing the stamp in
the same place, but reversing it. The
writer may wish to say farewell to his
sweetheart, or vice versa, and does SC
by placing the stamp straight up and
down in the left hand corner. And SC
on to the end of the chapter.
