George Alfred Townsend says that the face ef Garfield never smiled after he became President.
There are people who think that Bob Ingersoll is aiming one day to be Secretary of War, or Minister to England.
A Missouri quack not only promises to cure nasal cattarrh at one sitting, but makes the astounding statement that he will "remove the catarrh and place it on a saucer."
A ina a in Georgia recently attended a family gathering of 300 of his descendants. He has fifty-three children and is now living with his nin^h wife. It is not so hard to believe some of those old Bible stories after all.
A Portland paper tells a story of wealthy but very parsimonious Maine man who, two or three days before his death, awoke in the evening, and, turning to the watcher at the bedside, asked: "How much do they give you a night?" "Two dollars and a half," was the reply. "Well, you needn't come any more I can't stand any such a sum as that," and he didn't.
Prof. Wilson of St. Louis announced that he would go into a trance and remain in that condition three days. Several physicians watched him, and their opinion is that he really remained uncDnscious for that period. If he was shamming he did it very cleverly, for he was motionless, and neither ate nor drank anything. Wilson says that this was an espisode in his development as a religious prophet. His next step toward perfection will be to fast for forty days.
The Sultan of Zanzibar, having made a visit to Paris, has returned to his own dominions with a passion for two things in particular—pendulum clocks and strawberry ice cream and he has engaged skillful confectioner and an expert watchmaker as a part of his regular retinue, to supply him with these two luxuries to his heart's content. His palace is furnish with clocks in large number, and he takes delight in watching them, and seeing that they keep time with perfect accord and strike the hours simultaneously.
B. D. Godfrey, of Newtonville, Mass., signalized the new year by purchasing and sending to a list of twelve gentleman as many handsome pooket Bibles, with the name on each in gilt on the book, and with each he has sent an explanatory letter and appropriate verses for their especial study. The list of recipients of these favors is as follows: General B. F. Butlor, Jay Gould, W. H. Van derbilt, Senator Hoar, H. B. Clafiin Governor Long, Mayor-elect Palmer, Lieutenant-Governor-elect Oliver Am s, John M. Forbes, George W. Johnson and Aaron Clafiin.
Hank Barrett was a notorious bully and drunkard. Whenever he went into the village near his home, it was to fill himself with whiskey and whip whoever opposed him. In the course of eeveral years seven roughs of one gang were thrashed by him. The other night they combined for vengeance. Finding him in a store they surrounded him. He stood his ground, and knocked three or four of themdown When they saw that he was getting the better of them they drew knives and stabbed him to death, afterward throwing his body through awindow into the street. This reads like a western border occurrence, but the place where it happened was Bellows Falls in Vermont.
Somebody tells us that the dog is a carnivorous mammal. This will be news to most persons, who always supposed that a dog was simply a dog. But it is no news to anybody in these parts to learn that no where in town can be found abetter stock of groceries and table supplies, or a better place to trade than at Peter J. Kaufman's, corner of Main and Seventh streets.

If such service as this must be and is paid for, who pays it? The customer has not agreed to pay it, and the mercft ant cannot out of a legitimate profit af ford to pay it hence the customer is taxed for it, without his or her knowledge or consent. This is not a legitimate business and no reputable business house can afford to countenance or encourage it. That such services are paid for we have indubitable evidence.
Influence, like experience, while it cannot be weighed out by the foot, yard and cord, is nevertheless a merchantable commodity, an open traffic in which, is just as legitimate as that in any line of merchandise. And it is only when it seeks a market by "ways that are dark, and tricks that are vain," that the traffic is to be condemned. Any business that cannot be conducted openly and fearlessly, ought not to be conducted at all. We take it lor granted that human nature is pretty much the same the world over and we are free to confess that if we went to any merchant at the solicitation or upon the recommendation of an intimate friend, and afterwards learned that our friend had received a commission on the amount of our purchase, for having taken us there, we should have no further use for the friend or the merchant to whom he took us.
T. T's. observations in a regent issue of The Mail has caused our inquiry tebe made into the matter which shows that operations of this character are not confined to the individual discribed by him. When we have completed our investigation you will doubtless hear from us again. NIX.

A GENUINE TONIC.
Iron and calisaya bark in proper combination with the phosphates, have long been regarded as the purest remedial agent for dyspepsia, general debility, and Che long train of ills that follow a weakened physical nature. Dr. Hatter's Iron Tonic has proven the superior value of such a combination. It is a remedy that has come into general use for the troubles indicated, and no prominent druggist throughout the country is without it, so wide spread is the public demand for it. Iron of itself and calisaya bark as well—the two great specifics so much used—are very disagreeable medicine to take, and physicians often dislike to give them. In Dr. Harter's Tonic they are combined in a palatable preparation, and one that does away with the need of doctor's prescriptions and doctor's bills for a large class of diseases that afflict the numi family.

WHO ARE THE MIDDLEMENf Some one has said in answer, "Those who stand between the producer and manufacturer, and between the manufacturer and consumer." Such answer is correct as far as it goes, but it does not go tax enough. If it did, we should have no occasion to write this article for such "middle men" are almost, if not quite, a necessity—at least, their business is rec ognized as legitimate, and men and men and women engage in it openly There is, however, a "middle business" conducted in a very quiet way, so quietly indeed that those who "pay the fid dler" are not aware that they have con tributed for that purpose. With respect to this business, thore is no mutual ground for the merchant. He must either endorse it and become a party to it, or oppose it, and "by opposing end it." v:«
In almost all large cities thre aro both men and women who carry on a business as "purchasing agents," and advertise themselves as such. These make their living by charging their customers or correspondents a stipulated commission in buying. Such a business is strictly legitimate, since those who employ them do so with the understanding that a commission will be charged which those who employ must pay.
There are also to be found in all large cities, (and we are sorry to say in small? er ones also) those who do not advertise themselves as purchasing agents, but who do a thriving business nevertheless as such. They are very accomodating, and are always possessed of a wonderful stock of information concerning the best and cheapest place to buy. They are ready to make any amount of sacrifices to serve a friend or newly made acquaintance. They are often willing to brave the worst of weather and bid dedefiance to muddy streets, for no other purpose than their friend may enjoy the benefits of their riper experience, in selecting"just the most becoming" things, andat"just the right prices." For all thfr assistance and attention the friend feels profoundly grateful, blissfully ignorant of the fact that what is thought to be disinterested kindness, is really very much interested.

are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in wnicn the press and people of the country had expressed the merits of H. B., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style of H. B., with variously, devised names in which the word "Hop" or "Hops" were used in away to induce tople to believe they were the same as op Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cujes, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name or in any wey connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists and dealers are warned linst deeding in imitations or counterfeits.
