PetitiOnIng the Legislature.

The following petition is being circn-
lated throughout the county ana numer-
ously signed:
In view of the present existing def
cheney in the tax levy of this county for
the year ending June 30, 1884, the total
exhaustion of the levy for road purposes
and the necessity for better condition Oh
the public roads, we, the undersi gucd cit
liens and tax payers of Cecil county,
respectfully pray that the County Com
missiouers be granted authority by your
honorable body to issue bonds of the
county to the amount Of $50 900, bearing
low rate Of interest aud payable So, 500
each year from March lst, 1885, fol the
following reasons:
a. Because this Indebtedness arose
from expenses resulting from heavy aud
devastating floods which are not hkeIs
to come upon us again.
CO. That to provide for this debt forth
| with, by tax levy will make it too bur,
| densome for the taxpayers at this time,
and.
CD Should the debt be paid off BY
gradual reduction it will not be percep-
tibly felt.

q Great Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofuia
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIia

%" In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and aroundmy neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, 1 was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation Of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less ! do not know what it may
have done for others, but do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity Of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it,, CHARLES A. ROB-
ERTS, East Wilson, N. Y.
This statement is confirmed by W. J. Hunt
ley, druggist, of Lockport, N. Y, who calls the
cure great victory for Hoods Sarsaparilla.

When a man wants to throw diamonds
to the dogs it is fit that he should choose
Saratoga as the scene of the adventure.
More than 1000 private road con-
veyances were shipped there by rail for
private use this season. The display of
victorias, tally-hos, ph%aetons, Surveys and
tillburys is not one-half SO great at any
other place as that which is seen there
every afternoon. The air rings with the
blast of the coach horns, Broadway
rumbles with the roar OF heavy vehicles,
the scene is gay with bright faces, gaudy
costumes, proud horses and glossy car
riages. Miss Julia Morosini is still the
reigning sensation on the road. Every
afternoon, draped in the tightest riding
habit that ever seemed to be moulded
upon a rich, ripe form, she descends the
steps of the United States hotel, leaps
upon the back of her horse, snaps her
fingers to her handsome father for her
whip and handkerchief, and canters off,
followed by her vigorous, handsome, stall
wart groom, the observed of all the humid
reds that deem a day mlsspent on which
they do not see this spectacle. The men
talk no more of this wondrous eelskin
riding habit than do the women, for all
the ladies wonder how she gets it on, and
where she had it made.

Tricks Played on E~xcursionists.

The trick of the east side excursion gin
seller who sailed the water on the excur-
sion barges in order to force the excur-
sionists to patronize his bar is not new
by any means. | remember L moon
light picnic l wen on years ago, when it
was tried, and the barman was thrown
overheard for his smartness and given all
the saltwater in the bay to sample on his
own account. On another excursion, up
the sound this time, the ingenious specu-
lator jumped overheard to save himself
from being probably dubbed to death.
The meanest trick / can recall was played
on a Sunday excursion up the Hud-
son ten years ago on a big steam
er. The bar privilege was owned by
the boat In order to make business the
water casks were not filed at starting,
but anything, from water up to wine, was
sold over the bar. When the boat arrived
at Iona island, where there was water
ashore. two of the crew were sent ahead
to salt the well so that it was spoiled for
use. Several of us IN this excursion
emptied our pockets of small change to
buy ice water at FIVE cents a tumbler for
children too poor to buy it for themselves.
When we expostulated with the captain
of the boat he laughed at us and asked:
''fNhat the blazes do you suppose we run
excursions for, hey?" 1t may have been
a judgment on this person that he fell a
victim to salt water himself afterward.
Eo was drowned out of u sail boat up the
sound. Alfred Trumble in New York

THE BOSS WHIP

The following words at the tail end OF
the call for the Republican convention are
significantly published in large italic type:
at is the sense of the Republican county
central committee, and is earnestly recon-
mended, that delegates to the county con-
vention unable to attend the convention,
shall appoint as proxies such persons only
as are actual residents OF the precinct by
which the principal was elected.
This is the lame and impotent conclu-
sion to which the county committe came
in regard to proxies at its meeting held
Friday. Proxies have always cut an i'm
portant figure at the Republican conven-
tons. Placed IN the hands of the work
ers they have often been the decisive votes
between rival candidates for nomination.
This sort OF thing had gone on so long
that some Republicans who are not pro-
fessional politicians began to grow tired of
having the manifest will of the majority
checkmated with such religious reg
ularity. The first way out
of the difficulty that suggested itself was
to do away with proxies altogether. Every
member of the committee with a single
exception favored this step, but the pro-
bate Judge said mo- with decided en-
phasis. The committee kicked and
squirmed, but while swearing they'd
ne'er consent, consented" The only
public manifestation Of the smouldering
fires is the information that 1T is the
sense" of the committee that proxies be
given only to actual residents OF the pre-
cincts in which the principals have been
elected. Heretofore proxies have been
secured by the Cheyenne wire pullers from
delegates who lived too far away to make
it worth while for them to come here.
This settles the ascendaucy of the Busy
B. for another campaign. Some Repub-
licans may continue to protest, but the
brass collar is on its usual biennial rounds
aud all the boys must wear it or suffer
political %damnation. The medicine is
pretty drastic to some of them, but at the
behest Of the boss they must come in out
of the wet.
1t is a crushing blow to the soaring in-
tellect of young Republicanism.

II a lady guest responds with ever SO
faint n Yes to the morning knock of
the bell boy, she is sure to get up and be
down at breakfast in time. Catching her
train later in the day is another and a
quite different matter, but Of that | my
not speak, rs some of my lady friends

boy never let's up on a male guests door
until he gets n response, yet IL spite of
this about 10 per cent. of the men com"
down stairs behind time, and coolly deny
that they heard or answered the knock.
In comparing the drowsiness of men
with the morning wakefulness of women.
| have thought that some of the reasons
for the difference might be the higher
nervous organization of women, that
makes them more alive when aroused
that men are more irregular about thcr.
retiring time and hours of sleep than
women, and sleep soundly when they ret
started, and lastly that men nave easy
consciences, that allow them to "stand
of the business of the day for the sleep
that ut calling time seems to them to be
the one thing worth enjoying. l believe
that many men who rage at the hotel
clerks about not being called are honest
in the notion that they were not called,
having reused themselves sufficiently to
say Yes" then slept again, forgetting
the call as they would the indistinct parts
of a dream. The system Of having gongs
in the rooms of the guests is in use in
some hotels, but 1t is harsh, and drives
guests with sensitive nerves nearly dis
tracted. There is no system like rapping
on the doors, and If a guest does not
come out of his room in q reasonable time
the bell boy should thump on his door
