Chestnut streets the car stopped and an old
man. who attracted considerable attention. got

brisk business in some provincial town. He sat
down near the rear platform and when tho con-
ductor came in for his fare he handed him q
quarter and pocketed his change.
Say he shouted. you give mo a reoeipt!'
"A what2.'
II want q receipt. First thing I know some
other conductor'n get on here and'Q want an
other fare. You give me o receipt"
The other passengers laughed. but the old
man persisted: You give me a receipt"
My good man. said the conductor, "we do
not give receipts. Your fare is paid and It Is all
right"
The old man was not Satisfied with this and
still requested his receipt. The conductor went
out on the platform and pondered deeply for .
moment. Then he fshed an old transfer ticket
from his pocket and handed II to the passenger.

What Should Be Done Next.

After a mans house has been attacked by
o mob and he energies triumphantly from
the siege with his life preserved and his
walls standing, and his own, he sets his
house in order and resumes business. He
must regain his income or the damages to
his house, material and moral, will go IN
repaired. The case of the United States to-
day is that precisely.
The nation has just withstood the assault
of a party spontaneously solidi6ed out Of
all phases of discomfort and enmity to our
republican government. The success of this
attack meant the country's moral and polit-
ical~ degradation. With gratitude ~unbounded
for the providentially happy result let us
resume business. in accordance with the
simple and unbeatable rules of business.

Iransp'anting Teeth.

Among the wonders of modern surc.

ago a dentist created a sensation hv

person and inserted it in the law n.
another. Since that time the operation
has been repeatedly tried, but with NOT
altogether satisfactory results. Al
least % per cent. of these cases hav.
failed of success. Considering that
the experiment is in it's infancy, this ia
encouraging. The method is to select
the tooth required for the purpose

from the root, which is then deprived
of its pcricementum and shaped to

it is safe from shocks and pressure.
After about six weeks, or when the
union has taken place, provided the
operation is successful, a porcelain
crown is attached to the root, and the
patient has a fine, strong and natural
looking tooth.

A French Sculptor Insulted.

Through the discourtesy and stupidity
of the local BUNDLES the town Of Dover
has lost the fine statue Of King Lear
which Mr.. Albert Mulot, the French
sculptor, desired to present to it. Mr..
Mulot made the offer through Lord
Dufferin, and it was accepted, and sew
cral sites were succcssivcly selected and
abandoned for various reasons. Now
the corporation, although it has had a
photograph of the statue in its posses
sion for year and could have sent
some one to Paris to examine it if there
was any doubt as to its value, has coolly
requested the artist to forward the
bronze to Dover in order that they may
come to decision concerning it. MIR.
Mulot is naturally indignant at this
scurvy treatment and has promptly
withdrawn the offer. This is not the
first time within recent years that works
of art have been lost to the public
through the pettifogging behavior Of
public authorities. s.-London Figaro.

Crops.

Corn is being housed and in places
is disappointing. Grain loose on ears,
but dry and hard. Latest planting
amounts to nothing.
Cotton about all open and two
thirds picked. In places the entire
crop is gathered. The yield contin-
uses to fall below previous estimates
and now an average of all the reports
would make the probable yield half
of the July outlook. The fear is ex-
pressed that much of the seed is de-
fective and planters are cautioned to
save the best only for next years
planting.
Peas ere still dying from the heat
and late peas are failure. Turnips
are very poor with no stands except
in m DIST bottom lands.
Lite hay, other than pea vine, a
poor crop. Syrup making continues
and the yield of crops is small but
sweet and the quality of syrup OBJ
tanned very good.
Sweet pot&toes are very poor; have
stopped growing.
Excellent lice harvest weather and
early rice is about all secured.
Quality and yield very satisfactory,
Late rice not so good.
Garden truck along the coast suf-
fering for rain, and gardens in the
interior are burnt up and are fail
ures. Crops are low in such a con-
dition that rain would not benefit
them except turnips which could be
re-sown. Rain would put the ground
in condition for plowing and seeding
which is being delayed.
