valuable paper for many years, but
when this man talks about Winches-

all the good people who read your
paper might think we are urciyil-

fishing the following notice or re-
quest:
The commemoration of that
day, we, as Americans, delight to

can shelter. A drum corps of
amateurs and a choir of singers,
composed of the musical talent Of
the different churches, will render

pirate addresses. Among those who

ladies as grace Garrett county will
dispence the refreshments as only
young ladies can with their deft
fingers.

Material For Telford Roads.

The fittcst material for roads is
trap rock. The material for founda-
tions may be Of any durable stone,
laid by hand close together and
sledged, and if round they should
be broken, as round stones come to
the surface. The foundation should
not be less than ) inches thick.
Before putting in the broken stones
it is better to spread a thin layer of
loan, sufficient TO I'll the spaces of
stone and make an even surface.
When the stone has been put in, it
should be properly rolled by roller
weighing about two tons, easily
moved by two horses. While a top
coating Of screenings is desirable it
can be dispensed with. The repairs
on road are the most important
of the work. II a road Is built
properly, it should wear uniformly,
and when its thickness is so reduced
that it is necessary to recover it it
should be done in sections, from a
mile to one-half mile, and it should
be laid, spread and rolled in the
same manner as described for the
building. Boston Herald.

A Verbal Duel Between Marquis and
Madame de Stacl.
Marquis de MOntmorency, the head
of an old French family distinguished
for valor and courtesy, had a strong
antipathy to modern IDEAS. This was
pardonablc, as his family had suffered
much by reason of the French revolu-
ton.
Being at Geneva, where resided Nine.
de Stael, the author of "Corinne," he
felt that family claims bound him to
call upon her, Notwithstanding his dis
like of her political ideas.

inne,' who, no doubt, has occasioned

ceiving her visitor.

the blunt nobleman, replied: care
there not some gifts given us by God
which impose corresponding efforts on
our part? Those to whom the gift of
imagination has been impaired ought

The Baneful Influence OF the Poisonous
Principle OF Tobacco.


That the essential principle of tobac-
co, that which gives it all its value to
the smoker, is a virulent poison, is uni
versally admitted 1t is agreed also that
it's primary effect is upon the brain and
spinal cord, with aparaly2ing tendency.
Even Beard, who defends the modcr-
ate use of tobacco, admits that its ef-
fects are disastrous on some classes of
persons. u withnrs some, he says,
while fatteuing others; causes in some
dyspepsia and constipation, while upon
others Il Ids contrary eject. /: is
soothing to some, bat induces in others
all the horrors of cXtrome nervousness.
He adds that among the brain-worlSing
class of our population the proportion
Of those who can use tobacco with inn
punity is yearly diminishing, as q
nervous tendency more and more pre-
walls among us
Now whatever may be urged in favor
OF moderate smoking later in life, oil
intelligent persons who have given the
subject attention unite in cOndemning
the use Of tobacco by the young.
Young persons do not know whether
or not they belong to the class most Ii
able to be injured by tobacco. No one
denies the danger of its excessive use,
and the young have neither the intclli-
gencc nor the self-control to resist the
tendency OF smoking to grow into an
uncomfortable habit. Further, the
brain and nervous system Of youth are
specially susceptible to the bancful in
fuence of the poisonous principle of
tobacco.
That commanding medical authority,
the London Lancet, says: at is time
that the attention of all responsible
persons should be seriously directed to
the prevalence and increase of tobacco
smoking among boys. Stuntcd growth,
impaired digestion, palpitaSioa and
other evidences of nerve exhaustion and
irritability have again and again i'm
pressed the lesson of abstinence, which
has hitherto been far too little re-
garded,"

of Spain, and his governess were out

that the little king was not acknowledge

But you must acknowledge their sa-

you are their king, and it is one of the
customs for king to bow to his sub.
jects."
II shall not bow to them!" exclaimed
Alfonso, loudly.
"Thcn you cannot drive in the car
riage with me-" replied the governess,
kindly, but firmly, for she feared that
Alfonso would offend his subjects.
"Then you may get out and wallI!'
exclaimed the naughty little king.
Then, calling to the coachman, he cried:
Halt, Carlos! This lady wishes to
go on foot"
