THE MOTHER or SHIPS.

not too curiously consider her IL Is a
strange fact, nevertheless, that the dl-

Great Eastern was 1000 tons larger than

WHAT WE WILL BE.

Some years ago, when in part
nership with DR.. c. w. Harris, we
considered the idea of change in
the MT. STERLING ADVOCATE. In
stead Of local publication like
what we have had all the while,
we proposed a journal devoted to
local news, miscellany, stock, ag-
riculture and politics. Of course
we took into consideration the
cost, and being in the very midst
of a political contest, which re-
CURED the expenditure of the rise
of $500, we did not have the funds
with which to materialize our
plans. We did not know the
same idea of a newspaper was in
the mind Of any other journalist,
but it was, and as a result Of COM
bined and continued efforts we
nave what we think is the model
publication of the United States,
III the Mississippi Valley Demo
crat and Journal Of Agriculture.
What this journal is we hope to
make the ADVOCATE not many
days hence-in fact, we are going
to have our ideal. The people
have stood by us in our efforts,
and we propose to stand by them
by giving them a publication with
advanced ideas.

It Was a Pretty Hat.

A young lady of the east end had just
received several proofs of different styles
of photographs OF herself and had kept
them until the usual semiweekly visit
of her best gentleman friend. He was
punctual in arriving that night, but he
never imagined that it was to be his
last call for an indefinite period.
He had no sooner seated himself In
the parlor than the young lady brought
in the photographs for his inspection.
He looked them overv very carefully and
finally selected the only one of the sew
eral pictures showing hat ON the sub
ject. 1t was pretty big hat and beau
tifully trimmed. The piece of millinery
caught his eye at first glance, and he
most innocently remarked;
81 think this is the best photograph.
The hat is so pretty. It is a very fine
picture of the hat"
The young man did not notice his
fatal error until too late. His visit was
short and embarrassing that evening,
and now he wishes that the art of pho
Biography had never been discovered.

High Praise.

A story told by John Ross Dix in his
pulpit Portraits" shows how strong O
current Of life ran in the veins of DIR.
Lyman Beecher when he had passed
the allotted threescore years and ten.
When about 70 years of age, he spent
a fortnight in the eastern part OF
Maine. A party of gentlemen at Calais
went with him some 80 miles up q
series of lakes to Indian territories.
When about to embark upon chain
of lakes in the birch canoes, the Indian
guide, Etienne, rather objected to SC
old man attempting the adventure,
fearing that he would give out.
The doctor padded with the best Of
the youngsters; caught more trout than
all the party together and returned each
day from the various tramps in the
lead; ate his fish ON a rock, with sea
biscuit for a trencher and fingers for
knives and forks; slept on the ground
upon hemlock branches under the tent,
and at length the Indian guide went
from the extreme of depreciation to the
highest expression of admiration in his
power, saying:
"Ah, old man, all Indiani"

Tho EnplIsh Army.

In the 40 years that elapsed between
the battle Of Waterloo and the fighting
in the Crimea the British army attain
ed maximum of inefficiency. 1t is
only now, when the chief actors in the
great drama of the struggle with Russia
are dead, that the public is beginning
to learn the extent of the incapacity and
ineffioiency Of the men responsible for
the equipment and training of the Brit
ish army. But for the courage of the
British private the Crimean campaign
would have been disastrous failure.
Indeed but for the accident of fog on
the morning of the battle of Inkerman,
which enabled handful of British
troops to impress 40, 900 Russian sol
diers with the idea that they were more
numerous and better supported than
they really were, the English army
would have been driven into the Black
sea and the subsequent history of Eu-
rope altered beyond recognition. Lon

When Charles Dickens was to make
his first appearance in Boston before an
American audience as a reader, an inn
mense crowd awaited him. The en-
thusiasm Of the people for the most
popular novelist then living had risen
to fever heat One of the most ardent
OF his admirers afterward told this lit
tie incident Of the evening:
with few gentlemen who wished
TO welcome and show him attention
was in the little room at the back of
the platform when Dickens entered it.
He was rather stout man with some
what red face, and saw to my sur
prise, that he was dressed in an exag-
gerated servility TO the extreme fashion.
"More than this, he wore bouton-
Micro in each buttonhole, and two
watches, the chains of which were
strung aggressively across his chest
There was gaudy bad taste in his APP
pearance which his friends regretted,
knowing how distasteful it would be to
most of his admirers who appreciated
his genius and enjoyed his writings.
"No one, of course, could breach the
subject to him, and he appeared that
night and every other night Of his en-
gagement in the same attire The uni
versal comment was, why, this is q
petit maitre. How can man with such
tastes be the creator of Tiny Tim and
Sam lerP'-Youth's Companion.

Major P. P. Johnston has at last
given utterance to the decision
that he will not be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
Governor. Thus far of the men who
have been spoken of in this con-
nection, it occurs to us, ex-
Congressman Stone is far the best
timber. In fact we do not know
a man who would be more accept
able to the Democratic party, or
who would come nearer making
a model Governor. To nominate
Stone would be equivalent to an
election. He is high-tone gen.
tleman free from all combines, and
for whom any man would be en-
thusiastic in his support. Give us
Stone.

THIS IS NO Joke.

A county superintendent in a
neighboring county asked every
teacher at the institute who took
their local or county paper to hold
up their hands, and out of about
a hundred only six responded.
The superintendent expressed
great surprise and said: "You
don't spend dollar a year with
those papers, yet you expect them
to print, free of charge, notices OF
all institutes, insert long programs,
and expect them to advertise you,
thus assisting you to climb the
ladder to better places and better
salaries without a cents postage
in return. Midway Clipper.
We do not know how this would
be with Montgomery county teach
ers, but having a list we this week

will give the names Of those who
do subscribe for and take their

they don't we will give them an
opportunity to become subscri-
bers. No teacher can afford to
say no to the appeals of their
county paper.
