A GREAT SURPRISE.

There seems to be nothing startling, at least
nothing alarming, in the strange hand which
comes from the other side. 1t comes from the
darkness it is true but perhaps the lady can
account for it, after the surprise is past. The
door is closed and there does not otappear to be
sufficient shield for hiding. Whence then
comes the hand? Perhaps the reader can eS.
plain it.
Similar surprises inbusiness are shown every
day. A citizen Of Middletown made Holi-
day purchase in the city, carried it for hours
atgreat Inconvenience, returned home to find
the indentical article at the same price on the
tables of local dealer. That was an annoy
ing surprise.
One of the real and constant surprises to the
people of Middletown is the very low prices
maintained by Mrs. Thos. Massey on all lines
ofjewerley, watches, clocks, silverware, cut
glass, &c. 1t should not be; it is simple enough;
It's In the buyfng-and the selection. There's
much in selecting. If you have a present to
make, or purchase for self in Mrs. Massey's
line, a comparison of prices and quality Of
goods with any other is invited, especially
city prices. Repairing speciality.

SHERMAN AND ALGEIt.

Now that It has been definitely settled
that both Sherman and Alser are to be
In the Cabinet Of the President elect, the
country would like to know how that
little difference arising out Of the pur-
chase by the latter Of negro delegates be-
longing to the former in the National
Convention few years ago has been
settled. The public has not forgotten
that both Of these distinguished gentle
men were candidates for the Presidency
SOME years ago before the National
convention, and that Senator Sherman
accused General Alger Of buying up col
ored delegates who had already de-
clared for himself. and who had receiv-
ed his doodle.
1t will also be remembered that Mr..
Sherman said many things about Gene
raj Alger which it was thought at the
TIM that the latter should resent, but
the war was restricted to words only,
and 1t now appears that peace between
them has been finally restored But
what the public would like to know
is how was 1t done? Did Sherman OF
tho warlile Alger hold out the olive
branch? Or was it "the fine Italian
hand" Of the great Hanna who brought
about the peaceful regime?

THE LARGER SHARE GOES sourlI

In It's last weekly report of the trade
conditions Of the country, the Philadcl-
phia Press has the following TO say con
corning the export business rs it re-
lates 10 the South:
THE trade balance in January
must show an excess Of exports OF
about $50. 100000. so that the debt OF
Europe has increased instead Of de-
crensing. as was anticipa led for the
first month Of the year. The larger
share Of these exports go over the
Southern railroads, and clearngs in
the South are increasing. For the
country they are still deficient"
The export trade Of the country is at
tracing no little attention for the rca-
son that it is steadily growing, and for
The further reason that more than one
Northern port has lost such business tc
the Southern ports.

DIR AMROTT. JONAH AND THE
WHALE.

The attack which Dr.. Lyman Abbott
made upon the book Of Jonabh a few
days ago, when he likened 1t unto the
Pickwick Papers. has been tho cause or
Il resolution to be passed by the Man
haitian Congregational Association, OF
New York, declaring by vote Of 40 to
s. Its strong disapprOval OF the views
10 which DR.. Abbott has given express
sion.
The resolution continued:
Fearing lest our silence should be
accepted by the uniformed as an
Endorsement Of these views, we do
declare our emphatic dissent from
such handling of the Holy Scriptures
and deplore the probable effect Of
such teachings"
But they have had a bad effect al
ready. Bob Ingersoll says that Dr.. Ab-
bott is right, and that the story of Jo-
nah and the whale is but subject OF
fun after all He says that 'Dr. Abbot.
has concluded to use his reason and if
he Will DO so he need not stop at Jonah

able. SO is the story Of Job and several
other books OF the Bible, which have no

VIII have the courage 10 have his say.

the story Of Jonah. Should turn their a /
tention to the story of Little Red Rid
