PERSONAL.

We gladly give a lift to the following personal which appeared in the New York Herald: "A prosperous Son of the American Revolution would like to meet a Colonial Dame; matrimony.'
 Some of the personals" in the Her. aid are not such as can properly be printed in a family paper. But this one can be, because it has for it's ob- ject the founding of a family of high degree and the perpetuation of virtues and talents that merit perpetuation. The unmarried Sons and Danes ought to get together everywhere, and their Sons and Daughters should initiate their parents. Thus would we have in time an old aristocracy which would really be of the best and would stand as a bulwark against the levelling ten- dencies of Republic full of imrni- grants and their offspring. We hope this advertising Son will meet an ap- preciative and willing Dame and that matrimony and a long line of noble de- scendants will follow.

Of a venerable sybil, whom he consult ed, he caused his armor to be studded with lance points, engaged to go to the river at early morning, armed only With his sword, and taking his stand upon the summit of the worm rock, await the coming of the monster, further, he made VOW that If success ful in his enterprise, he might stay the first living being that he might chance to meet on his return from the en- counter, and that, should he fail to per- form his oath precisely as prescribed, IL was decreed that no Lord of Lamb ton for nine successive generations should die a natural death or in his bed
 The result of the combat between the knight and the dragon was decisive in favor of the former, who slew his enemy by embraining it and piercing 1t with the spear heads in many places, and then, having shorn the body in twain, let fall the lower portion into the stream first, the upper portion be- ing held up on the spear points until the possibility of reuniting had passed. But when, in answer to the blast on his horn announcing victory, the old lord came out to greet him, the oath had to be broken, since filial piety would not allow of it's fulf1lment. Dur ing the period of the curse. no Lord of Lambton did die a natural death; the last of the nine generations, Henry Lambton, M. P. for Durbam in 1761, died while crossing the new bridge over the Wear in his carriage. His pre- decessors had all undergone the ban.-- Genealogical Magazine.

WAITING.

There appears to be no doubt that the report on the destruction of the Maine will be in Washington soon. The talk is that it will be there Thursday. Then, as promptly as possible, action by the President will follow. What that action will be nobody knows. It will undoubtedly be such as can be justly and cheerfully supported by the people of this country. There will be no wild threats and no tricks The matter will be treated in the fear of God and with due regard to the sound judgment of mankind. There is less war talk than there was, and there is no sure indication yet that the two governments will not be able to come to right understanding without war As the crisis approaches the people of this country continue to conduct them selves with sobriety and discretion. They will not lose their heads when the report comes, whatever it may be. They feel sure that the President and his advisers will do what is right, and they are prepared to give them full and hearty support.

4 COIN TRY ROAD.

When the Springtime comes, gentle Annie, the thoughts of the dwellers in cities who were brought up'' in the country longingly turn to the vernal youth was familiar. They think of the full brooks, the fat pussy willows, the aromatic birch-bark, the frog g-choruses, the frisky joy of the farm animals and all the cheer and stimulus of Natures themselves because they cannot take part in the great awakening, as they did when they were lon the farm.'
 It pleases us to be able to offer a helpful suggestion to those of our read CTS who are looking back with longing to the Springtimes of their youth. If they will just step over to Center street, between Orange and Church, they will find there an old-fashioned country road with all the appurte- nances of an old-fashioned country road in Spring. It will remind them of the days when mayhap they lost their rubber boots in the deep and tenacious mud of some other country road. It will also remind them of the fertilizing swamps in the old barnyard. They can stand on the sidewalk, shut their eyes, the dreary city, as in the days that are no more. It will take little Spring plete, but the imagination will have a good basis to build on in the road, which is the real thing.

At its first test in Chicago the H. linois primary law worked as well as its most sanguine friends expected, says the Times-Herald of that city. Tt could not compel the attendance of voters at the polling places, but once there all of them had a fair chance to vote." Candidates of the extreme gang" stripe won, it says, but they met unusual opposition, and three good candidates were chosen, each of whom would probably have been defeated under the old methods. "The size of the total vote was some what disappointing, considering that weather conditions and exciting con- tests were all in favor of a big vote. The total number of ballots cast the city over is estimated to have been between 30 and 40 per cent. of the total Democratic vote. In some wards, like the Twenty where the fighting was warm, it ran as high as 60 per cent" All of which is regarded by the friends of the new law as a great im- provement over the nomination of candidates by less than 1 per cent. of the total vote.

A recent attempt to found Poor Gentleman's Club" in London failed. The club was to have been devoted to the uses of gentlemen" who found even the reduced charges of ordinary clubs too great, and did not desire to be dependent upon the accommoda- tions of cheap restaurants and lodg- ing houses. The failure of the scheme was due to the dreadful pictures of what life in such an organization would be which were painted by va rious correspondents to the newspa- pers. The ordeal which members would have to endure of coming out of a club with poverty" branded on them, the feelings which these fellows in poverty would probably cherish to-

It being reported in the neighbor- hood, says the Perry County (Penn.) Freeman, "that the widow Oscar, who, with her two boys and a girl, lives in MT. Archy's tenant house, was in need of help, word was sent through the neighborhood that there would be a donation party at her house on Satur- day night, and in consequence the en- tire community turned out to help her. That the donation was success was evidenced by the fact that her two boys sold enough dried apples to the huckster on Monday morning to get enough money to buy two new coon dogs and a mouth organ, and thus, through the charity of the neighbors, will the gaunt wolf of starvation be kept from the widows door for sea- son."

x The late Sir Henry Bessemer made a great change. Before the Bessemer process came into vogue the production of steel in Great Britain was only 5o,o tons annually, and the average price was s25o a ton. During the depressed condition of trade in 1877 the Bessemer mill alone produced 75o,ooo tons, at an average price of $50 a ton. In 1892 the total production of Bessemer would be represented by a bar of steel 6,6S4 feet high and 100 feet thick.

When to Advertise.

Almost every advertiser has his theory
about the proper season for advertising.
Some say that there is no use of trying
to force trade when it is dull; others say
that trade is good enough at certain sea-
sons, and they only want more trade in
such and such months. Hence they
advertise at that time only. Some re-
gard must be paid TO season without
doubt, and advertisements should be so
worded as to be seasonable; but people
read the newspapers about as much at
one time as another, and if at certain pc
riods an advertisement is not likely to be
quite as productive, that fact keeps COM
peting advertisements out of the news
paper columns, and consequently gives
the whole field to the man who does ad-
vertise at that time, thus making the
season in truth season of plenty. We
would not recommend druggist to ad-
vertise "ice cold soda" in January, nor
should "Arctic overshoes" for the retail
trade be pushed with much energy in
June; but outside of few articles which
have their seasons, it is admitted by the
most successful advertisers that the best
time to advertise is all the me.-Prnt-

Napoleon Lacrosse of Somerset, tells
an interesting story about an episode
that he participated in few days ago
and in which he received injuries that
caused him to take a short rest. La
Crosse was chopping in the woods. Be-
coming thirsty he started for a spring to
get drink of water. While on his way
there he saw deer tracks. Procuring a
drink he started to return, and saw a
short distance ahead of him a large buck.
He had no weapon with him, so he stop
ped and leaned against tree. The buck
approached, shifting the air. The animal
came to within foot of him, and, think
ing that he was going to attack him.,
Lacrosse, who is an active young fellow,
says he made spring and landed on the
back of the buck. He twisted his legs
around the body of the animal as far as he
could and tried to seize hold of his horns.
This he was not able to do, and the deer,
with his head down, started for the bush.
Lacrosse says that of all the dancing and
rearing he never saw anything like it be-
fore. He called to some other choppers
that were some distance away, telling
them that he had a deer and to come and
help him. The deer took him over fallen
trees and for quite a distance, trying to
get rid of his rider. At last he came to "A
large birch, and the deer made a leap
that his rider said must have been four
or five feet high. Lacrosse fell to the
ground and his back was considerably
sprained. The deer made his escape into
the forest.-Burlingto Clipper.
