Now, Mr. Editor, has it come to that pass that our churches and Sunday school directors will connive in so small fa, matter as this? We pause for a reply. ONE WHO WAS THERE. CHILDREN'S DAY will be observed at tl>< M. E. Church, in this village, on Sunday june 8th» ky the regular church service- j^n the morning, and a Sunday school concert in the evening, each serv­ ice being made appropriate to the oc­ casion. A MEDICAL man has discovered that wooden toothpicks are poiso%a«s- Prob- (>J»ly he dosen't soak 'em in hot water be­ fore they are eooked. . A tooth-pick should never be fried in lard. The frying pan has rendered unwholesome a/more dainty morsel than a wooden tooth-pick. As the warm weather approaches our citisens should see that their yards and out houses are thoroughly cleaned from garbage that has collected through the winter, aud carted away. This is an es­ sential matter to the health of citizens and should be attended to at ones. How times have changed! Up in Maine husbands have been kicking for years -^ause their wives would have them JMry little packages now and then from . jwTstores; but now--oh! the dear, sweet oys!--they never murmur, but come iome every night carrying an "original >ackage." ' t ' WHEN the tongue of trade is coated, when the eyes and limbs of the clerk are (dull and languid, when tlie raging fever skies the empty vitals of the till, when ispiuei roosts in the cash box and |uets of decay are on the chandeliers, it ts coRclusive that the advertising doc­ tor has not been consulted. \ NEWSRARER men have no op in work. Whelk times are dull, people have plenty of time to read the papers, aud so it turns out that the less there is going on the more people expect to fiud in the papers. When other folks could just as 1 close up their business and play, the newspaper man has to hump himself the hardest to get up a paper out o^nothing. REHEARSALS are actively progressing lor the production of the "'Crystal Slip­ per." It is said that it will be more handsome, than ever when revived at the Chicago Opera House. All the costumes ?jtad scenery will be new, and many of the jbattets and specialties are said to be high .\]J original and attractive. The company 1 is one of the strongest burlesque ; umatioas ever brought together in > country. TRs current week at the Chicago Opera House is devoted by the Bostonians to one of their brightest and most attract­ ive operas, *'Suzette." The opera has thus far in the engagement drawn audi? ences that completely filled the theater, and the charming music and lively com­ edy of "Sujettee" have met with euthusi- \astic approval, The plot is humorous aud complicated, aud the principal mem­ bers of the Bttstonians all have excellent parts in the piece. The costumes are very brilliant and handsome ahd the opera is altogether an exceedingly at­ tractive one. AN exchange thus paraphrases Hie sad refrain of "Listen to my Tale of Woe": r A little corn on a maiden grew, listen to tny tale of woe, caused by the pinch of a /boo tight shoe, instead of a three or a number two, it grow. Listen to my wail of toe. As time went on (as time will do), listen to my wail of toe, the corn waxed red, the maiden blue, 'twas ten times worse 'it the gripe (kercihew) too true! [too true! Listen to my wail of toe. She ad a seat in the end of the pew, listen to y wail of toe, and a man who attended rvice too, put his cowhide boot on her .ngroo. Oh whew! Oh whew! Listen my wail of toe." F WE have had oopasion several tin?*) toj ,4i>eak of acts of vandalism committed at the Cemetery, and had hoped that it had ceased, but now we learn that the tomb­ stones are being used as targets for guns and pistols, and are being much shat­ tered and marred thereby. That there are men or boys in our midst with such lo w and mean instincts is in dm! deplora­ ble. and if they could .be caught an exam- pie would be made of them that would be a lesson for all time to come.

To those of my neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted me after the loss of my horse, I wish in this public manner to return my sincere thanks, with the assurance that should it ever be in my power to render any of you a favor when in need, it will be as cheerfully and willingly done as it has been with you at this time. A. C. MATTHEWS. IT is worth remembering that no news­ paper is printed especially for one person. People who become greatly displeased with something they find in a newspaper, should remember that the very thing that displeases them is exactly the thing that will most please somebody that has iust as much interest in the paper as they have. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, we are told, and the pa­ trons of a newspaper are made up of the elements of the world. A man may have a dislike for tobacco, but he is not fool­ ish enough to complain of his grocery- man because he keeps it for sale.--Ex. THE census taker is abroad in the land this week loaded with interrogation points. Be ye prepared to Spread out your pedigree in all 4ts checkered detail. If you are blind, say so when you see the enumerator. If deaf, admit it when you hear his question regarding thecondition of .your hearing. If you are feeble minded speak right up and say, "I can not tell a lie, I am." If yon have ever been in the penitentiary let it be so re­ corded. If you can speak several lan­ guages, more or less, be prepared to give samples of the different dialects, for the edification and approval of the census man. Over and above all, keep your pa­ tience. Remember that the enumerator is an agent of Uncle Samuel and that he has authority to ask almost any ques­ tion you could imagine and if not an­ swered the law is liable to get the offend­ er by the ear and make it unpleasant for him. So speak up loud and tell all you know for the good of the great canoe.

No man seems to be satisfied. One man is struggling to get justice, another is flying from it. One man is saving up to build a house, and another is trying to sell his dwelling for less than it cost. One man is spending all the money he can make in taking a girl to balls and sending her flowers, in hope eventually to make her his wife, while his neighbor is spending all the gold he has to get a divorce. One man escapes all the diseases that man is heir to and gets killed on the railroad; another goes through half a dozen battles without a scratch and dies of the whooping cough. EVERY growing, ambitious town is composed of three elements. Those who work patriotically, vigorously and intell­ igently for its advancement; those who are in a state of apathy or indifference, and those who take a curious delight in discouraging the efforts af others by ridi­ cule, by persistent denial that any pro­ gress has or sail be accomplished, and of boasts of 6*fetiy city besides its own. The last class are called croakers, but they are really something worse, for the opposition does not arise simply from despondency, but from that unenviable spirit that wiU ueithef aet itself norallow others to act. for a few days in progressing finely Moved by Trustee Weber that N.

The opera was written especially for the Bos­ tonians by Messrs. Reginald de Koven and Harry B- Smith, the authors of Don Quixote. Every member of the company has a strong part in the new opera, and the comedians have an especially good chance, as the plot is said to be an ex­ ceedingly amusing one. The members of the company express themselves as being charmed with the music, which is said to be of a very popular character, and it is predicted that many of the melodies will be placed among the musical sensations of the .day- The story of the famous English outlaw is particularly attractive for comic opera, lending itself to the in­ troduction of new costumes and pictur­ esque scenery.
