Letter From the EA-Sheri fl of Chautauqua
County, New York.
MAYvILLE. n. Y. Dec. Q. 1885.

T., DEC.
I am glad to say, from long personal ex-
perience with ALLCOCK'S Porous PLAsTERs,
that 1 am able to endorse all the good things
that have ever been said about them, and sup
plement these by saying that frankly believe
their value cannot be estimated. Their breadth
of usefulness is unlimited, and for prompt and
sure relief to almost every ache and pain that
flesh is heir to, no other remedy, in my opinion,
either external or internal equals them in GER
tainty and rapidity. 1 have used them at one
time for rheumatism, another for backache,
again for bronchitis, always with the same re,
sult-a speedy cure. L. T. HARRINGTON.

German Army Marriage Regulations.

Dr. A. G. Bernays, Jr., relates in the
st. Louis Star Sayings feature of
German army life which may be new to
many people in this country. A young
lady whom he met in Berlin informed
him that she was engaged to an officer in
the army of the rank of Major. He ex-
pressed the hope that the happy day was
near at hand, when she sighed and said
it might be forever On his inquiring
further he learned that the Major could
not obtain leave to be married because
there were 81 Ulcers ahead of him who
could only get married in their regular
order. He has to await his turn. This
is military discipline with a vengeance.

IN THE EVENING.
Ehc Return Of E'icnickers From
the Lakes.

The evening passed off in compare
tive quiet, but there was a continuous
fuSilade of fireworks on the business
streets, and hundreds of private pyro-
technic displays, but there was
an absence of the battles
that were waged with Roman
candles and firecrackers across
thOroughfareS which characterized the
celebration the past two years. The
only battle of any proportion was the
one waged on Washington avenue
south between Nicollet and First ave-
nue. south. 1t was dangerous for pedes-
trianS TO pass and Mayor AmeS finally
made personal appeal which had
subduing effect.
The crowds began returning to the
city about O'Clock, and from that time
until midnight the sidewalks were
thronged. Probably the motor carried
10000 passengers to Lakes Calhoun and
Harriet, while many others went
out in carriages. The crowds
were composed for the most
part of working people who
passed the time yachting, rowing and
strolling through the beautiful groves.
In the pavilion the DAM orchestra
rendered choice selections both after
noon and evening. Probably 10000
people visited Lake Minnetonka. Coney
Island, at Waconia, Buffalo lake, and
Bald Eagle lake we're also the resorts
of hundreds. The city parks were also
dotted with picnicking parties.

MONMoUTH's BIG MEETING.
First Day of Nearly Months
Racing for Heavy Stakes.

MONMOUTH PARK, N. j., July A.
The attendance at the races here to-day
was very large. The weather was per-
feet and the track fast. The Independ-
ence stakes for two-year-olds was good
thing for Mr.. Belmont's FLY, Lady
Margaret, by The Ill-Used, out of Lady

gathering keeping the boOkmakers busy

have been the favorite, but Garrison,
his owner, had to ride Aurefia for Mr..

money went that way. The race was
splendid one. Richmond had the best
OF the start, but Garrison quickly
sent Aurelia out to make the running,
only to be passed by Tenafly and
Triboulet. In the stretch it was any
body's run, but when near the wire
Enrus drew away, and although he
swerved badly, the tri-coIor of Mr..
Cassatt flashed past the judges stand
half length before the all-black of Mr..

CINCINNATI, o., July 4.-The streets
were alive with strangers to-day. At 8
o'clock the gates of the exposition were
thrown open. At IL o'clock the formal
opening exercises began at Music hall.
The stage was filed with May festival
choirs and the Cincinnati orchestra.
The entrance of Gov. Foraker, Gov.
Thayer, of Nebraska; Gov. Gray,
Pennsylvania, Hon. John Sherman and
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth was
signalized by hearty applause. Gov
Foraker made the welcoming address.
He made the point that this exposition
was national in its character, intended
to be illustrative and cOmmOrative of
the progress of Ohio and the central
states in the past century. 1t was but a
few minutes of 12O'clOck. and President
Allison announced that they would wait
for signal from Mrs. Polk to start the
machinery. Suddenly gong in the
hall sounded, a ripple of applause an
that the gong had been sound
ed by electricity touched re
the finger of Mrs. Polk at her home
Nashville, Tenn. Then little Merry A
lison, the ten-year-Old daughter of Pres
ident James Allison, ftepped to the side
of the stage, and pressing an electric
button gave twelve signals on
the gong and put in motion the
ponderous machinery of the Ex-
position. President Allison then
formally declared the Exposition open.
After this brief addresses were made by
Cows. Thayer, Gray and Beaver, Lieut..
Gov. Bryan, Hon. BENZ. Butterworth
and Hon. John Sherman, and the cere-
monies were ended. The great parad
started promptly at $50 and moved
without serious delay over the siX-mile
route. 1t required two hours to pass
given point and was witnessed through
out by delighted crowds.

1t is unnecessary to again call atten-
ton TO The wonderful facility Minneap-
oils people have developed for enjoying
themselves, when occasions present
themselves. Yesterday was an occasion,
and all the enjoyment possible was eX-
hlcted from it. The day was an I'M
usually fine one and the customary
Fourth of July rain very obligingly
absented itself and permitted the UNI
interrupted enjoyment of the thousand
and one programmes of sport and pas
time laid out. Nothing was wanting to
make the day complete. To the patriot
ism of young America as well as all
other America was added the amuse-
ment and enjoyment lovers propensity
of every nation represented in Mime
Rpolis, and the result was the celebra-
ton of the great holiday in unprece-
dented style. There was not lake or
resort within fifty miles of Minneapolis
that was not the theater of a celebration
scene, nor a grove nor copse that did
not shelter a picnic party, public or
private. Every sport had its votaries,
every excursion Its passengers, every
paStlme Its participants. BUSINESS, cH-
cept that in keeping with the day, was
entirely suspended and two hundred
thousand people gave themselves up to
the hilarity of the occasion. 1t was a
great day. The details are given below
but of the day in its entirety it may be
said that it was an unprecedented sue
cess. The air was blue with sulphurous
smoke that told of noisy patriotism and
at night the sky was coruscated with
the brilliant flashes of fire and color
that told of patriotism more sedately
expressed. 1t was long after midnight
before the noise and excitement had
quieted down and the city resumed its
normal condition, preparatory to taking
up the serious side of life again.
Ihe day was not without its draw
backs, but they are merely incidents of a
general celebration i'll a large city.
There were the usual casualties result
ant from fireworks and explosives, and
There were few fires. But they merely
emphasize the day we celebrate. The
police and fire regulations were excel
.ent, and the day passed without any
public disaster.
