with the other put the circular into

The large dwelling house on the

of Scott. was destroyed by fire yester-
day afternoon. together with its con-

an insurance of $1,000. The loss is a
severe one to both of the gentlemen,

Redwood Revieile: When COM
petition becomes brisk, there is but
one way to secure a reasonable share
of business, and that is by constant
and spicy newspaper advertising. No
town ever had a right permanent era
of prosperity whose merchants did
not advertise in its local papers and
assist in building up the institutions
that spend more words, more valu-
able time and more money for the
advancement of communities and the
welfare of the country than all else
combined.

Biblical Examples.

A bright five-year-old who, it will be needless to say, is an interested member of the Sunday-school, was watching the moving in of a family of boys across the street, with great , anticipation written in his face. His mother, noticing it, told him she didn't want him to play with those boys, because they were Jews.
 "Well, mamma" said the bright little fellow after a moments re- flection, "wasn't Jesus Christ a Jew?"
 Logical inference, surely. The same boy on another occasion was being admonished for his unruly be- havior.
 "Why," "saidhisgrandmother, with a sigh, .I don't know what will be- come of you if you are such bad boy"
 "Grandma," said he, his bright black eyes twinkling and his voice full of hope for his own future, "wasn't St. Paul a bad man once and he turned out we'll"
 If that boy keeps on We shall see him at the bar or in the pulpit before many years.

A Deaf Mans Experience.

Tobogganing ought at once to be- come favorite sport with the deaf, if the experience of Charles A. MouIton, of Stanstead, Canada, is worth anything. Dashing down the hill, his toboggan upset, and he was thrown head-iirst into q heap of snow and dirt piled alongside of the slide. When he recovered con sciousness, he found that he could hear sounds with his left ear,
 which he had been deaf for eleven years. The next day he heard dis tinctlv with that ear, and he has had perfect hearing ever since.

1 M tlearned, on excellent
 ntS5( 1ld4 the day following the 12nl64xeem6nt that Queen Natalie had purchased 40 American sewing machines, an agent for machine of another manufacturer secured an interview with her majesty, and im- mediately proceeded to business. "Your most gracious majesty" he began, "I know you will pardon this intrusion, when l inform you that some unprincipled agent, talk ing advantage of your ignorance rel ative to the merits of the various sewing machines, has induced you to purchase perfectly worthless article, but our company has re- solved that this great wrong shall be righted. l am, therefore, authorized to remove the 40 Hummer machines, now in the royal palace, and replace them with an equal number of the world-renowned Preside machines, which embody the best features of all other machines, besides possess ing many merits of their own, the whole business running so lightly that a child ten years old can turn out 40 pairs of army pants in one day" Before the queen had re- covered from her dazed condition, the agent had summoned dozen. of his accomplices, and inside of 20 minutes the 10 "Hummers" were standing on the sidewalk, and the same number of "Firesides" oc- cupicd their places in the palace.
 The next day another stranger. sought an audience with the queen, declaring that his mission was most important. "A messenger from the king" thought her majesty, who ordered him to be admitted. .1 have fortunately learned," said the messenger, ''that some unconsciona- ble person has placed in the royal palace 40 sewing machines, which are not worth the room they occupy. l have the honor"-handing the queen his business caTd-"to rep resent the latest improved and only perfect machine ever invented-the Ne Plus Ultra, which has a magic futer, revolving washer and ironer, automatic baby-spanker, and self regulating alarm clock attached, the whole forming the most complete and desirable household article the ingenuity of man ever conceived. And before the queen could in- terpose a word of objection, the 40 Preside machines were hustled out onto the sidewalk, and Il correspond ing number of "Ne Plus Ultras" were hurriedly lugged into the palace. Early next morning the harassed queen locked up the palace, and went over to spend a week with her aunt Rachel, and at last accounts P agentswere shadow ing the royal residence awaiting an opportunity to bounce the Ne Plus Ultras.

All About Giycerine.

The consumption of glycerine for medicinal purposes, arts, and manu- factures has greatly increased in the past few years. It is the by-product of the manufacture of candles.

Some of the latter, in order to cheapen the process of refining. bleach their half-refined product by means of vegetable or animal char coal. This absorbs tlc color and also some of the acids still in the giycerine, rendering it, for q short time, inodorous and almost color less; but the seeds of decomposition are not removed, and in time the acids still contained in the glycerine oxydize, and the. glycerine becomes "off color" It should properly be distilled until the last trace of i'm purities is removed, when the give erine becomes chemically pure, in odorous, and colorless.
 When the concentrated glycerine is applied undiluted to chapped or nlcerated surface, it produces burn ing sensation, which to some persons is almost unbearable. The reason is glycerine has a strong affinity for moisture; it takes it from the skin, and thus gives rise to the burning sensation. If a small quantity of water is added to the glycerine be- fore it is applied, this unpleasant effect will be observed but little, if at all.

Twelfth Annual Del State Fair is on our
table From this catalogue we see that the
fair will be held at Dover, commencing Sep
TENDER goth and closing October 5th The
people of the State should take pride IN this
exhibition and should see to it that Del
aware State Fair is equal to any State fair
country. If tile people who are interested
in developing the resources of the State
and showing to the world what grand spot
our little state is, would unite aud go to
wSrk in earnest, the coming fair would be
more attractiv than any proceeding fair has
been. Nearly every family can, if they feel
disposed, contribute something toward max
ing the fair grand success. Our cereals
are equal to those Of other States to say the
least Our fruits in many respects surpass
those Of any other State, while our stock is
fast becoming ofthe very best blood of coun-
try. With combined effort on onr part to
show the people our products of every kind
we can have fair that will reflect credit on
the State and do much toward developing
its resources by inducing capitalists to come
into Our genial climate. Therefore, let there
be united effort to make the State fair of

The New Pilot Beat.

The new pilot boat which is now being
constructed at the Jackson s. Sharp's yard,
Wilmington, to replace the lost Enoch Tur-
LEWIS now in frame, and some idea can be
formed Of her model As is usual in Bur
CESS designs, her floor Is carried well fore
and aft indeed, as one observer remarked,
''she seems all floor" Her bow rises with
an easy sweep from just sbaft the midship
section, while her run is carried out to a
modern stern, which is unusually fine for a
pilot boat. The midship section bears a
stong resemblance to that of the old America
and her keel is almost like a centreboard in
its depth and thinness. When afloat she
will look to be dig, powerful vessel, but
her hne lines and symmetrical form make
her appear smaller than she actually is to
those who see her now. It is supposed she
will be ready for launching by the middle
of October, The workship on the new boat
