SOME COMPLAINT is made of the in
frequency and irregularity of the calls
of the garbage cart. But how can one
such cart reasonably be expected to re-
move in one day all the garbage that
has been made in that day? And then,
too, entirely too much garbage is made.
It has often been said that Frenchman
could live well on what an American
family throws away, and there is much
truth in it. If only food enough were
prepared for the family to eat, there
wouldn't be half as much thrown away,
and therefore not half as much garbage.

BANGOR, Me-, Aug. 3l.-A man who
arrived here to-day from Grand Falls,
n. B., reports that fatal afiray oc-
Cured Tuesday morning on Little
Salmon river. A French wedding was

Tables and stoves were overturned and
windows broken in the fight. After being
reinforced, the party outside attacked
the roughs. Knives, lat-irons and
guns were used, and one of the intru-
ders, Tom Muckler, was shot through
the head and killed. His brother,
Harry Muckler, was also badly used
up. Two others of the intruding par
ty, the Price brothers, were cut and
beaten in horrible manner. Officers
from Grand Falls quelled the disturb
ance and are investigating.

SECRETARY GRESHAM, according to

SECRETARY GRESHAM, according to a
paragraph in the GAzETrEs Washing
ton correspondence Of yesterdays date
does not agree with at least one distin'
puished member of his party, who has
said that it is necessary to appoint ne
aroes to office, in order that the negro
element of the country's population
NAV be recognized by the administra-
ton. He does agree, however, with
the Constitution, which declares that
so far as the government is concerned
there shall be no difference on account
of color. and he thinks the federal OF
fees should be given to the most eff
cient applicants, and to those who Will
do the nation the most good, prospect
i've of the complexion of their skin.
For this reason he is disposed to change
the custom ofappointing negroes to I'M
portant government positions IN negro
countries, simply because they are ne
rroes and to select for such places the
most competent men: and as it is only
natural that such men can be found in
the white race, to look for them among
that race. And then, too, as the well
informed people of the negro countries
know the estimation in which negroes
are held here, and that this government
never sends negro representatives to
white countries, the fact that it sends
them to theirs, they naturally look
upon as sort of slight, which they re-
sent, as was conspicuously shown in
the case of Fred Douglass at Hayti.

RioeraDhicaI Sketch.

+ VIM. Marble, or t'Billy Marble as
he is generally called, comes from an
old theatrical family, the oldest in
America. His grandfather came to
this country among the first actors that
ever crossed the Atlantic, in the same
company and in the same ship with the
grandfather Of Joseph Jefferson. Mar
ble's grandfather, William Warren,
built the Chestnut street theatre in
Philadelphia, and Holiday steet in
Baltimore, and had the honor of acting
before General Washington. Marble
grandfather and Joe Jefferson's grand
father married sisters. So that Mr..
Marble comes as naturally as honestly
by his great gift as a comedian; a role
he has for years SO well filled as to
place him among the first in his line on
the American stage.

or five weeks. Mr.. Stamm is a reliable
dealer in the jewelry line. He tells a

sells, turn out otherwise, he is ready at
all times to make his word good. AS a

built up a prosperous trade, in the
several villages that he periodically
visits. ~

The Garvin family entertainment on
Tuesday evening, was of a
high moral tone. The program
was varied, containing selections from
the best authors of both humorous and
noble ideas. The singing by the fam
lily was good. Master Paul the six
year old elocutionist was the main
attraction, and his wonderful ability
called forth bursts of applause from the
large audience. When we consider
his age-less than six years and his
rendition, in frst-class style, of Sc
Elections from such men as Daniel Web
ster and Wendell Phillips, we must
place the little fellow among the re-
markable prodigies of the day. Not
one elocutionist in a hundred, old
or young, can deliver Webster's speech
on ssTrue Eloquence," in a more mas
terly manner than did little Paul de-
| liver it to an audience Tuesday
night. Miss Myrtle, but little older
than Paul, takes high rank as an elo-
cutionist, and her chart temperance
piece Tuesday will be long remem-
bered. The Garvin people are a
highly intellectual family, worthy OF
a frst-class patronage wherever they
may go. - .--. r.

The North Star bus has had a couple.
OF tip-overs this winter. In the bus
the other day were Mr.. and Mrs. Bor-
den, Mr.. and Mrs. B. r. Soule, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Norton. Everything
went well until near the residence Of.
Mr.. Soule. a slight thaw had softened
the snow so that the runners slipped
from the beaten track into the soft
deep snow, turning the bus on its port
side in about two shakes of lambs
tail. All the occupants were abruptly
precipitated to the lower side of the
cab, fortunately uninjured. The scram-
bic among the people to extricate them
selves from their position was ludicrous.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norton escaped through
a window, while the other four came
demurely crawling out through the
door and snow, glad to escape so easily.
Abram Orr and Andrew Umbehocker
returned from their southern trip last
Thursday afternoon. Both gentlemen
speak OF the country around North Gal
weston as having redeeming features,
and also having drawbacks. Thewater
there does not meet the absolute re-
quirements Of people favored with the
extraordinary quality Of that liquid
that abounds in this part of the north.
The unvarying stretch of country, for
miles back into the interior, so level
that water during rainy periods must
remain standing for days, was feature
that met with unfavorable comment.
Neither gentlemen made an investment
in property while there. From their
reports it is fair to assume that, take
it all in all, Minnesota will compare
favorably with any part of the south
visited by them in their two or three
weeks travel. <", .&[ "
