Arms For Hsyti

NEW York, Dec. 15.-The Atlas
steamer Andes sailed from this part
bound for Port au Prince. 1t is
rumored she carried several hundred
thousand ball cartridges for the Hay
.tien government. 1t was stated at
the Office of the agents of the line,
PIN, Forwood 4 Co that they could
not tell the nature of the Andes cargo
until her sailing papers had been
closed and received. The Haytien
minister, Preston, also could not saw
positively that the steamer carried any
ammunition for his government. but
Thought 1t very likely that she did.
From another source it was learned
however, that the Andes in addition
TO her cargo OF cartridges carried about
one thousand Winchester and Rem
ington rides consigned by manufac.
turing firm in the city to the Haytien
government.

spelling of our language, no one has thought
it worth the while to call attention to some
points of our system Of punctuation The
marks Of inquiry and Of surprise could bC
used much more effectively if they were tc
be put at the beginning as well as at the end
OF a question or an exclamation. They are
both so used in Spanish, only the mark, when
put at the beginning Of the sentence, is in
verted
The advantage Of this use is plain. The
reader needs to know at tho outset the char
acter Of the sentence, that he may read il
with the proper infection. Our system of
marking has led to the habit Of giving the
infection at, or near, the end OF the sen,
tence, when properly it ought to be given
upon some word at the beginning.
Almost always the interrogative word is at
the beginning Of the question. and almost al
ways the infection ought TO be upon that
word. 1t is plain that it was so placed be-
fore any marks Of punctuation were used.
If we have not energy or industry enough TO
use two marks, then it would be an improve
ment to put the one we did use at the begin
ming Of the question or Of the exclamation.

excursion tickets to Washington from ali
points on its line at one fare for the round
trip. Tickets will be sold March Ist to 4th,
inclusive, and will be valid for return passage
until March 9TH, inclusive. The B. & o. is
the shortest and most direct route to Wash
ington from all points touched by its lines.
It has more track and yard room at Washing
ton than any other road, and consequently
more facilities for the prompt movement Of
trains and the expeditions handling Of alarge
passenger business than any other line.
The B. & o. handled an immense passen-
ger traffic at the Inauguration of President
Cleveland without delay and without injury
to a single passenger,
It's facilities have been greatly augmented
since that time, and it is in position to give
more satisfactory service than any line touch
ing Washington. o. ScULL, Gen.

For months past. Prettyman &
Hegeman, managers OF Dorsey Hall,
have been urgently requested to get a
good minstrel troupe in Milford. They
first signed Barlow, Welch & Dock
stadters, which went to pieces on the
road, disappointing both the managers
and the public sadly. After much cor
respondenee aud very able recommen-
dalion, they then signed Haywood &
Prendergast's for Christmas night;
but owing TO some acknowledgement in
the train at Clayton, the troop failed
to arrive on time, and large numbers
went home disappointed. The troop
At last arrived on Wednesday. but in
stead o; parading the streets with their
band as promised, hired and paraded
the colored band ofMilfOrd. Bat the
final aud worst disappointment came
in the evenings entertainment; for
despite the glowing recommendations,
the show was little more than a farce,
and large percentage Of the audience
left the hail in disgust before the per
fnrmance closed. The troop is yet in
Milford, rs we go to press, not having
decided what direction to walk. Last
evening an excellent company pre-
sented burr Oaks" but the disap-
pointment Of Wednesday had aroused
a suspicion Of faithlessuess which is
hard to correct, and the attendance was

ance promises to be large, ,as the claim
of this popular comedian to high
merit is fully established, aud the peo-
pie know they will not be disap-
pointed. Messrs. Prettyman u Hege-
man are bitterly disappointed in their

result Will probably be that they will
not allow any company to play under
their recommendation, except they
have positive knowledge of its merits.

Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the
nasal passages, discharges falling from the
head into the throat, sometimes profuse,
watery and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious
mucuous, spurulent, bloody and putrid; the
eyes are weak, watery. and inflained; there
is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking OF
coughing to clear the throat, expectoration
of offensive matter, together with scabs from
ulcers; the voice is changed and has nasal
twang; the breath is offensive; smell and
taste are impairedi there is sensation of
dizziness, with mental depression, a hacking
cough and general debility. Ifyou have all,
or any considerable number of these svmp-
toms, you are suffering from Nasal Catarrh.
The more complicated your disease has be-
come, the greater the number and diversity
or symptoms. Thousands of cases annually.
without manifesting half of the above symp-
toms, result in consumption and end in the
grave. No disease is so cammon, more de-
ceptive and dangerous, or less understood.
or more unsuccessfully treated, by physi,
clans. Five hundred dollars reward is
offered by the manufacturers OF DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, for case of catarrh which
they cannot cure. Remedy sold by drug
gists, at only so cents.

BY the oversight Of the clerk in not
making return Of the school election
report last spring at the proper time,
the Public Schools Of North Milford
have been unable to draw the dividend
set apart for them by the State Treas
urer and it is now on deposit in bank
at Dover, where it must remain until
a special act can be got from the Leg
islature authorizing its payment. The
fund. about 81 900, would be very ac-
ceptable to the School Board just now,
and they have heen sharply criticised
bv those not familiar with the facts.
The oversight. occurred in this way
Mr.. Frank Richards was clerk Of the
school meeting, and made out the re-
port. He gave it with other papers to
the clerk Of the School Board, Mr.. H.
l.. HynsOn, who placed it in the school
minute book, where il remained until
after the legal time for its return had
expired. For this,the men who never
attend school meetings have berated
the members; but we think their dis
sati .factiou is not deep rooted, or they
would attend school elections. The
present hoard has been generally sat
isfaetory to the people.

trial of the change, is now calling for the res

The attitude of the Grange toward rail-
roads and other corporations is we'll ex-
pressed in Mr. Browns address. He SAYS in
effect that they are essential to prosperity,
but should not seek to absorb all the profits
that arise from the industries they foster.

The 27nd annual session of this Society
will be held at Ocala, Florida, on February
goth, 2Ist aud 22nd Ocala is located in the
central part OF the Peninsula, in the midst ol
the orange region, nine -teuths of all the or
anges grown in the State being produced
within a radius of eighty miles. The eli
mate is salubTious and healthful. No cases
of yellow fever have occurred in that region,
and the direct railroads leading to Ocala
from the North pass through none of the dis
tricts where it has existed. No fear, how
eyer, need be entertained of visiting any por-
ton of the State on this account Since the
occurrence of severe frosts the last quaran-
tine, that of Jacksonville, has been raised,
and the tide of winter travel has now set in.
Among the attractions offered by the peo-
pie Of Ocala, a, inducements to hold our
meeting there, are the Florida International
and Sub-Tropical Exposition, which opens
in January, the commodious buildings of
which are rendered for the use Of the Soci-
ETY.. The leading places of interest in the
State are easily accessible from this point
and the local attractions include the famous
groves of Lake Weir and Dunnellto II, and
the wonderful Silver Springs, the finest of
the kind in the world

hibits of fruits. Several special prizes how
ever, are offered by the Florida Horticultural

The Author OF John Ward. Preacher"
One anecdote Of Margaret Deland shows
her simplicity and the absence Of all conven.
tionality. She had amused herself by writ
ing poems and destroying them as soon as
read, seemingly caring nothing for them or
attaching little or no Importance to the gift
which they revealed. But one day as she
was returning from marketing she called
upon friend, and while waiting in the par-
lar amused herself by writing a poem. The
sudden entrance Of the friend surprised her
in the act, and a moment later, in playful
way, the poem was snatched away from the
unthinking author. There on a scrap Of
coarse brown wrapping paper was her ex-
quisite poem, "The Succory," which was
thus barely saved from the ignominious fate
Of its predecessors. Book Buyers.
