A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.

A dictionary. containing the de.
finitions of 10000 of the most use.
ful and important words in the
English language, is published by
Dir, Williams Medicine CO., Schen-
ectady, N. Y. While. it contains
some advertising, 1t is a complete
dictionary, concise and correct.
! In compiling this book care has
been taken to omit none Of those
common words whose spelling or
exact use occasions at times mo-
,nentary difficulty, even to well
educated people. The main aim
has been to give as much useful in
formation as possible in limited
space. With this in view, where
noun, adjective and verb are all
obviously connected lin meaning,
usually one only has been inserted.
The volume will thus be found to
! contain the meaning of very many
more words than it processes to ex-
plain.
To those who already have a die
Iionary, this book will commend
itself because it is compact, light
and convenient; to those who have
no dictionary whatever, il will be
invaluable. One may be secured
by writing to the above concern,
mentioning this paper, and enclos-
ing a tWo-cent stamp.

The Most and Best Trained Elephants
Ever Shown Together.

The management of the consoli-
dated Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers Americas Greatest
Shows, which are booked for Mel
sonville on Wednesday April 9th,
go upon the broad-gauge principle
that they can't give their patrons
too much of good thing, and carry
that purpose to literally elephan-
tine climax. Each Of these famous
exhibitions includes big herd of
the biggest and littlest performing
elephants of every species, from
Asia, Africa, Borneo, Sumatra and
Ceylon, and ranging in age from
the colossal tusker of over hum
dred years to the youngest, who
can easily walk under him, and
bosses the big, magnanimous fell
lows about in manner most COM
ical to behold. 1t should be borne
in mind that these are distinctly
different herds, appearing simulta-
neously, and each illustrating in
many astonishing, queer and COM
zeal ways, and in novel feats, APP
parently impossible to such bulky
creatures, the different methods of
he schools in which they have
been graduated to the drgree of
masters of elephantine art. They
are great-great enough to dc serve
special attention among the in
Vulnerable wonders, sensations and
fun-makers of the greatest enter
prise of its kind, and the only big

If the theory of fermented and unfermented

My bishop, Bishop Nottingham, was an
austere man, that is one who gave but little in
diligence to his body i'll eating, or drinking, OF

of port wine, when one exclaimed in Il tone of

The Arctomyo HOnax.

According to the ancient traditions which
are, even in this enlightened age, almost
religiousiy accepted, February ID is consider
ed as the day which decides the weather in
advance for forty days. Different ones ofthe
alternating animals are accredited with the
powers Of foretcliug the weather, and they
differ according to their locality. In some
countries it is the bear; IN others the badger,
aud so on. In America it is the troublesome
little American marmot, as he is classically
termed. the 1rcf0myo m0Rdr. Heis supposed
to make his appearance about noon; and if he
IS so unfortunate as to see his shadow, he re-
tires for another six-weeks nap, and bad
weather continues for that length of time. He
was not able to see that shadow on Wednes
dav and Gow watch must be kept to see
whether his prophecy Of an early Spring is
correct one. His local name in the South is
"Groundhog," presumably because he
doesn't look anything like hog. In the
