Good Advice from Mr.. Booth.

Edwin Booth, the actor. recently
closed a two weeks engagement in
Baltimore City. During his stay there
he was beset by young girls who were
DESTROYS of meeting the actor, This
is not the first time he had been thus
importuned and he awaited an oppor-
tunity to deliver wholesome
lecture. While seated in his room a
card was brought to him bearing the
names of two Misses. He told the
waiter he would meet them in the
parlor. With stately step and wear
ing his greatest look, the great TRACE
dian descended the stairs and entered
the presence of his visitors. In freeZ-
ing tones he bade them good day and
asked them their business.
oh" said the younger Of the two,
who was not more than II, I'VE saw
you play last night. and came to form
your acquaintance"
Here was the great tragedian's op-
portunity. Drawing his slight form
to its fullest length, he delivered his
lecture, and it is pretty certain the
girls will not soon forget his words.
After reminding them OF their indis-
erection and the danger attending the
pursuit of actors, he said, looking at
the cards, that he knew the names
were assumed.
If ] knew your right Names" said
he, Il should certainly inform your
parents" The girls were completely
taken back, and, muttering an apol-
ogy, they FASTENED out of the hotel.

A Rival to the Changers Fair.

A number of Patrons of Husbandry
and exhibitors of farming implements
who became dissatisfied with the man
agement of the interstate exposition
at Williams's Grove, Cumberland
county, Pa, have perfected an ar
ranSemtnt by which an annual fair
will be hereafter held at Mount Gret-
ma Park, near Harrisburg, where the
encampments of the Pennsylvania
National Guard are held. The park
is owned by Mr.. Robert II. Coleman,
a millionaire. and he has made re-
markedly generous proposition, which
was accepted at a large meeting of
farmers and exhibitors held at Har-
risburg Tuesday. Mr.. Coleman has
agreed to erect all the necessary
buildings free of charge to the asso-
citation. The plans contemplate the
erection of large horticultural and
machinery halls, a big building for
general exhibits. stalls for live stock,
a large and small auditorium, and
separate buildings for the meetings
of the Farmers Alliance and the Gran
gers. The main auditorium, which
will be similar to the one at CHATEAU
qua, viii accommodate about 5000
people. Here it is proposed TO. have
entertainments every night. Perma-
nent cottages will also be erected, as
well rs spacious platforms for the eX-
hibition of machinery. Every night
the grounds will be lighted by cleo
trcity. The exhibition will open
about the 18th of August and contin-
tie one week.

Hope They Will Never Return.

The Mormon missionaries who for
year or more have been working in
the interior counties of West Virgin
ia have left the State. OF late the
popular interest has increased to
such an extent that is was plain the
dav of reckoning could not be much
longer postponed, and the missiona-
ries were quick to recognize the sit
uation. They concluded that the
best thing they could do was to leave
the State, and about zen days ago
thry announced at their meetings
that they had been recalled to Salt
Lake City to prepare a location for
the West Virginia converts, who were
to be given farms, stock, implements,

reside permanently among the people
whose religious cause they had es-
poused. AS means of testing the
earnestness of the converts, however,
the church had required of them one
tenth of all their worldly possessions
in the way of tithes, and this sum was
TO be paid over at once. All the con.
verts were poor people, although at
least possessing tracts of land of
greater or less extent. Those owning
property mortgaged it, money was
borrowed, stock sold &c, and few
days ago the elders left, taking with
them, it is stated, considerable
amount of cash Some of their con
verts are still faithful and hopeful,
however.

THE SURPLUS FADING AWAY.

This Republican administration is
making true the prophecy of the
Demo Gratis year or two ago, that
instead of having a surplus to deal
with a deficiency in the public money
will have to be met. The predictions
may be said to be already realized
and only year has passed. What
will it be after three years more of the
same administration When the
Democrats were inpower the surplus
grew and grew, reaching as high as
$40, 900, 900, until the most earnest
efforts were called forth to prevent
trouble in monetary affairs. The
strain was relieved by paying off
bonds at a premium-the only practi-
cable temporary way out of the diff
Guilty.
This state of affairs no longer exists.
A Republican Senate, a Republican
House and Republican administra-
ton al the way through have made
anxiety about the surplus unnecessa-
ry. The question will soon be-even
now is-Where shall money be OBJ
tanned to meet the extravagances in
dulged in by the party in power?
The revenues for the year are esti-
mated at $3.50, 100000 The regular
ordinary expenditures of the govern
ment will be about S405, 0O0, 900, leav-
ing as a surplus, provided the sink
ing fund act be suspended, for Con-
gress TO 20 on, about S45, 0OO,O OO
Let's see how far that $40, 900, 600 will
20. The dependent pension bill
will call for not less than $40, 900, 900,
and it is almost as good as passed. a
pension deficiency, in addition to the
regular appropriation, is called for,
and il will amount TO $40, 900, 600 more.
The river and harbor bill which is
now before the Senate calls for at
least 100000 900. The public build
ings bills will foot up, at the rate they
are ilOW SOibS, " 2iV,VVV,VOV' NV
bills are almost certain TO be passed,
and Sl1O,000,0OO of expenditures will
have to be met with a surplus OF
$45, 600, 000 The deficit, plainly, is
SEA, 900, 600
But the extravaganza doesn't end
here The thousand and one schemes
OF great or small proportions are not
included in the above estimates. The
Blair educational bill alone calls for
ST, 100000. The direct tax bill calls
for millions more. War claims, pen
sion claims and claims Of every de-
scription are all calling for money,
money, money, and there is no let
up.
The politicians can stand this sort
of thing just as long as the people
can. But the question is, How long
can the people stand it? And how
long can the government stand it ?

A Brave Girl.

Miss Lula Smith, the fourteen
Npar-uld daughter of Sheriff u. T..
Smith, OF Charlotte, n c., is a brave
girl About > o'clock Monday after
noon Miss Lula was playing near the
Jail WITH some oJner children, when
she happened TO see a prisoner slide
. out oi the Jail through a wly-made
hole in the wall. She knew that
would never do, and so she ran quick
~ to the side of the Jail, and picking
up big stone began to pound Il
second 'kinky' head poked nearly
through the mole and was in the act
of escaping. Only u few licks were
necessary TO drive the prisoner back.
Standing by the hole on the inside of
the Jail were u dozen prisoners ready
10 crawl through and escape, but
Miss Lula stood guard at the outside
and dared them TO poke out their
heads. She gave the alarm, soon her
father was on the scene and the pris-
oners all locked in their cells. By
some means or other the prisoners
had cut hole through the thick
brick avail. and had it not been for
Miss Lula wholesale delivery would
have resulted. The prisoner that
succeeded in getting away was ne

Lines on he death Of little JOHN,
on son of John II. and Jennie Buck
les.
Death has been there and borne away
Their darling from their home;
How sad and lonely that home to-day,
Without their little John.
Alas he was his mothers pride,
He was his fathers joy;
Oh, how they'll miss him from their side
lie was their only boy.
When last saw him twas at his home,
And with his little sister played;
He was so full OF life and fun
That in the house they could not stay.
At last, into the house they came,
And standing by my side.
We asked ifhe could tell Us then
Which OF the two was the best child.
He looked into our face and smiled
Around upon the guest,
And clapped his little hands and cried,
is the best. Is the best
Oh, what desolating feeling came,
Ger those sad parents when from the grave
returned,
No little son lisp'd the much loved name
OfFather or Motner-sience mourned.

In an article on the Farmers AL

several mistakes that should be cor
rected. The Register says:
within the past few weeks the Register
has been In receipt of a large number of in
quiries concerning farmers organizations. and
In particular concerning brapche existing in
the State. The majority of the iuquirers
have been directed 10 Senator c. II. Knott,
of jefferson county. who is the president OF
the West Virginia branch of the Farmers
Alliance. A letter addressed to Senator
Knott, at Charlestown, will secure any infor-
nation desired"
Mr.. Knott has nothing whatever to
do with the Farmers Alliance. He is
Master of the West Virginia State
Grange. The Grange and the Alliance
&c are separate and distinct organiza-
tions. And Mr.. Knott's postofiice ad-
dress is Moler's, Jefferson county, w.
Va. and not at Charlestown. Letters
addressed to him at Shepherdstown
will reach him, but not those address
ed to Charlestown.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result. and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces
