 To The Press : l received to-day the following notice
 Holland, July "A, 1888.
 Thos G. Hodgson, Esq. Dear Sir: You are hereby removed from the office of pros- outing agent for Holland County, by the ac- ton of the county commissioners for Holland County. LoUIs PHnIPP, Sec'y of Board.
 I wish to say that during the time that have held the office have endeavored to have the law enforced to the best of my ability, but have not succeeded as we'll as I had reason to hope, although in looking over the work think Stafordville and the Hollow will give me little credit for the absence of saloons there, ann think that the prosecutions at the borough have had a restraining influence, to say the least, and with my knowledge of the situation be- lieve am justified in thinking that few months more would have seen the closing of every saloon in. the borough. But if the present incumbent will do his duty the same result can be reached.
 Although this action of the commission CTS looks to me as the triumph of the sa- loon in Stafford, and have no hesitation in saying that it is 8 victory for the saloon and the lawlessness that always goes with it, I close by asking the people of this town and county what are you going to do |? Let the saloon rule you, or you rule the saloon out? T. G. HoDGsON.

A NEW CAMPAIGN ToRCH.-A new cam paign torch, says The New London Tel egraph, is made from 8 combined compo- sitition of infammable matter, and when lighted, burns dry; that is to say, it is free from grease, does not run, and gives off no bad odor. It may be stuck on the end of handle or pole, can be carried in the pocket, and is always ready for use. It yields large flame. It burns thirty minutes and three of them form an outfit suitable for any political procession.

 THE board of Holland County commission CTS held 8 meeting at Holland on Tuesday, the first at which John A. Brown of Willing ton took his place as successor of M. P. J. Walker of Union. AS result of the meeting Prosecutor Hodgson received notice yester- day that his appointment was revoked. The action was surprise, as it seems that A. J. Turner is continued in office. The commits sioners take the ground that the two officers are Tn conflict, and that Mir. H. has not effect ed the purpose of his appointment, and that it is fair to give the later appointee trial It seems to be understood on the street, we do not know from what authority, but it is probably well based, that the retained official will be expected to do good earnest work, and is regarded as ''working on trial" We do not need to say that The Press is of opin' ion that the commissioners have made mls take and gone contrary to the wishes of the majority of the republicans of Stafford, and of the better element of all parties. But The Press will rejoice to find itself proved to be in error, and will guarantee the retained prosecutor it's support in all earnest well meant efforts to stamp out the crime which il is his particular province to suppress. Sc far as this paper is concerned he shall have g fair showing.

TIE Mills tariff bill went through the lower house of congress on Saturday, 162 to 149.
 The bill has been much modified since it was first reported, democratic representatives from close districts having had good success in get ting protection allowed to their pet local in= stitutions.

FROM THE CITY'S WHIRL.

Only New York Could Have Furnished This
Lot Of Boys.

Only New York Could Have Furnished This
Lot of Boys.
A recent advertisement calling for a hun
dred boys to learn the telegraph messenger
service brought to the doors of No. s Dey
street, very early in the morning, such an
assortment of boys as need not be looked for
outside of New York.
There was everything from the prize Sun
day scholar to the prototype of the Paris
gamin.
With the social instinct of the true Ameri-
can the boys collected chiefly in groups, and
while waiting for the advertiser to call them
up they discussed all the topics that fill the
minds of ordinary lads. not neglecting the
chances of the Giants for the pennant and
the exciting points of the latest amateur
games on the diamond.
Finally, the ordeal began, Supt. Sanford,
of the Western Union Messenger Service, of
floating as examiner. He has han He'd
thousands of boys. and what he doesn't know
about them and their natures isn't to be
learned.
Whats your name ?" he asked. in o
sharply business-like tone of a shock-headed
boy who stood near the first of the line OF APP
p~licants, and having got his answer he pro-
ceeded:
What have you been doing for a living,
John 2"
Helping me father"
What does your father doT'
"Nuthin'."
All! What were you doing before you
undertook the task of helping your father ?"
Worked as a messenger"
Yes you were here ten days last Feb
ruary and then you left to help your father.
Was he doing anything then 7"
Nav, SIR"
II am afraid he never will. John. or you
either or any boy that is willing to live idle
seven months. Good day, john" and the
boy knew he was not wanted.
The next boy was neat and precocious.
Would take the place, under his mothers
permission, if he could be sure of o good
salary and nice companions.
He was promised President Green's place,
if it could be arranged after the Office became
vacant.
IT'S the only place, 1 think, that would
suit you" remarked Mr.. Sanford, and the
boy went away somewhat in doubt.
A red headed boy who presented himself in
the line was quickly warned off.
He was discharged n year ago for dis.
honesty" said the Superintendent, as the boy
. fled.
And SO the examination vent on, a boy
being engaged now and then, but more
turned away.
1t took a good bright boy to go through
undo Mr.. Sanford's keen eve. but when he
got one that he wanted, that one speedily
found himself involved among the /, 700 who
make up the C rps in the service.

her until late III the evening, when he saw
her standing alone by the window.
"Margaret,' he said, softly, going to her
side, you surely have not forgotten me ?"
No, Mr.. Raymond, | have not" she re-
piled, coldly. "Do you suppose l have for
gotten your base treachery ~
"~Treachery, Margaret! What do you
mean ?"
She smiled scornfully. IF I had NOT
gaZed upon the picture Of your betrothed i
might now be a victim to your deceit"
Il was now Raymond'S time to smile.
" i have the picture to which you refer in
my possession still. 1t is the likeness of my
mother, who died in my infancy"
The carnation-bloom widened in the girls
cheek then, and her eyes fell for the first
time during the interview. She did not even
withdraw her hand from that which sought
her then, and listened while Charles Ray
mond breathed again the love-words he had
spoken years ago in the sunlight by the river
in Westbrook.
One month later, Margaret Dupree stood
at the altar with Charles Raymond, the man
who had loved her in the days of her pow
erty, and whose love she had failed 10 Danish

Say no more, Margaret; your position in
life is your misfortune, not your fault. /

your childhood; you surely remember some
thing of your adoption by Miss Leman."
Very little. There are faint recollections

child-myself-was committed to the care of
the parish overseer, and was soon after
adopted by Hannah Leman."
Have you nothing AS n clue to the past ?"
Nothing save n queer little casket con-
tanning two miniature likenesses and q little
bracelet, OF which is engraved my name,

pany them. Gossiping neighbors whispered
that pretty Margaret was the attraction which
held him there, and indeed such was the
case. Her beauty had interested him at first,
then the petty abuse of her stern mistress had
aroused his pity, and finally he learned to
love the friendless orphan.
Margaret turned to go home, when a
rustling in the branches and a voice calling
her name, arrested her steps.

her face as she wrested herself from his en-

cratic face, whose possessor must belong to q
high station in life.
A sarcastic smile was on her lips as she
placed the locket in Margaret's hand and
watched the girl grow white as she gazed on
the portrait.
Now what do you think of your London
beau 7 Very pretty stories he has told you,
no doubt, and his soft talk has turned your
silly head. Very strange that he wore her
picture next to his breast though"
Margaret made no response. Fer temper
was quick and impulslye, and her blazing
eyes and compressed lips showed that deep
feeling was aroused. A resolve that she had
long cherished was strengthened. She would
leave the house with all its hateful surround
ings.
Accordingly at 70 o'clock she slipped
noislessly dow the stairs and out of the
house. An hour later a train was bearing
ler swiftly from Westbrook.
