If it is for the benefit of an indi­ vidual it should be paid for. if the gro cer was asked to contribute groceries to one abundantly able to pay for them he would refuse. The proprietor of a news­ paper must pay for the free advertising if the beneficiary does not, and yet it is one oi the hardest to be learned by many that a newspaper has space in its col­ umns to rent, and must rent to live. To' ' give away or rent for anything less than living rates would be as certainly fa£al as for a landlord to furnish rent free; FLOSSIE'S mother is an excellent repub­ lican woman, while her father is a pro­ nounced democrat, and tells it nearly as often as Hill does.

Donnelly and Edward Girard come to the Chicago Opera House with their per" renniai success, "Natural Gas." "Natu­ ral Gas" is beyond question the most successful farce comedy ever written. It was originally produced at the Chicago Opera House several seasons ago, and since that time having undergone annual rejuvenation, has attracted every season immense audiences in this City. "Natu ral Gas" is brighter and fresher than ever this year, and is announced as being in a new meter. Several changes have been made in the company since the piece was last seen here, and lots of new laugh iug materia! and a number of enjoyable specialties liave been introduced. May Howard has been retired from the cast and her place excellently filled. Amy Amos, the best exponent of the female Irish character in America, plays the part of the Irish scrub woman who was suddeuly translated to affluence and Ed­ die Girard will of course be on hand in his official capacity as Whirlem O'Rourke, the acrobatic policeman. Henry V. Don nelly has his old part of the impecunious but ambitious broker and the company has been strongly reinforced, it is said by the engagement of a number of clever and pretty young ladies who can both sing and danoe. The engagement is for one week only. Msw fat ©n a Postage fct&rap." ' People would often save themselves trouble and annoyance, if, instead of licking the mucilage on a postage stamp, they would, with their tongue or other­ wise, slightly moisten the envelope of the letter or paper containing the package to be mailed, and then apply the stamp to the moistened place. This, savs an exchange, is the true way to do, but for some reason, persons not connected with the postoffice, do not seem to "get on to it." Not content with one licking to make sure that the "plaguey thing will stick," they frequently give it several lickings by which time they pretty effec­ tually remove the mucilage so that the stamp will be quite likely to rub off be­ fore it reaches its destination. People need educating in this respect. Try the plan of moistening the envelope and yon will see how neatly your postage scamp will stick. The postmaster general of the Dominion of Canada, deems this a matter of so much importance that he called attention to it in his annual re­ port. The old saying that the difference between a postage stamp and a donkey, is. that one von stick with n •*?> other you lick with a stick, will enable one to remember that one who is donkey enough to lick a postage stamp, should himself be licked. We mention this, so that people will remember not to lick their postage stamps becanM th«M i« * better way. Nunda Department.

HUNTLEY, Feb. 16,1892. Mr. Sophus V. A. Richard: About a month ago I got a package of your egg food and am highly satisfied with results. When I first b^aa feeding, it I got a few esrgs, but after a week I gathered from 24 to 30 eggs every day. I find that it make the hens look healthy and prevents sickness. I inclose $1 for a second package. Very truly, PitfcT, Pointed and Pertinent. ̂ ' Porftape the executive committee Of the National Farmer's Alliance did not intend to announce the final exit of that organisation as a poliitcal factor when it said In the recent secret circnlr sent to members: "Never has there been as little concert of action among the officers of the different States. This, if allowed to continue, must be fatal," but that is the impression the language leaves on close observers. The latest Washington advices say that a new political party is about to be bora, in the interest of free coinage, and that it will nominate Senator Teller for president and Col. Polk, of the Farmer's Alliance, for vice President. Another biatf. The proposed Tammrny reappoint­ ment of New York State, is such a plain steal, that it is bound to prove, in the end, to be a boomerang. "Harrison will be a candidate," "Harri­ son will not be a candidate." "Cleve­ land will be a candidate,'* "Cleveland will not be a candidate." These are positive statements quoted from the columns of the Metropolitan Newspapers, the editors of which are supposed by some people--themsel vee among the number--to know everything. There is something illogical about the position of Senator Palmer, of Illinois. He Bays in one breath, that "Cleveland is the logical candidate" of his party and in the next announces himself a candi­ date. The Senator should take his logic into executive session with his tongue. Congressman O'Farrall's designation of Cleveland as a lion and Hill as a fox, was probably pleasing to both gentle­ men, and as it accords with their own estimate of themselves. The third party in the South is pro­ gressing at about the same rate of speed as the white Republican party in Texas. Now that the Grant monument associa­ tion has distributed a liberal amount of taffy", and the corner-stone has been laid, how would it do to hustle around and raise the money to build the rest of the monument. After the first of July, the international revenue officials will guage all liquors by weight. It does not, however, necessarily follow that drinks shall be sold by the pound. • There must b* "gold-bugs" also in Australia, as a Government bill has been introduced in the Australian Parliament, providing for a nineteen percent premium on gold, taken in payment for .customs duties. France appears to have adopted the Jerry Rusk method of dealing with anar­ chists, and to have tound it just as effec­ tive as Uncle Jerry did, when he was Governor of Wisconsin. That proposed international silver conference appears [to be worrying some of those who have been doing the loudest shouting about the necessity for such a conference. The democrats who talked of an ad­ journment of Congress by the first of June, are not talking on- that subject these days. The any-body-to-beat-Cleveland Demo­ crats are expecting an inning in the near future. Whenever the administration sees fit to "call down" Great Britain for its acquisition of territory in Venezuela by an exhibition of the "Monroe doctrine," it will be supported bv every patriotic American, If "baby Ruth" looks anything like the pictures of her, printed in the New York papers, Mrs. Cleveland is probably sorry she ever married. One at present insurmountable obstacle to electing the President and vice-Presi- dent by popular vote, is, that on^pection of-the country never allows a popular vote to be cast. Miss Mamie Thomas is improving. Miss Ida Philp has returned from Bar- ringt-)n, where sh? has been virdting the past two weeks. The young people enjoyed the last skate of the season Saturday evening.

The woman who inaugurated that topsy­ turvy process, called Spring house clean­ ing, taust have hated all the rest of the human family. No other motive could have prompted that annual upheaval of all domestic arrangements. Who else would have asked us to eat dirt and drink abominations for weeks at a time? If you want your usual quiet hour with your favorite author, your slippers are in the coal scuttle, (and nobody knows where that is,) your easy chair is upside down out doors, and your book under a mountain of household rubbish. The saints defend us! Now, if some other woman will show her sisterhood the way out of this yearly bedlam, her name will be immortalized and she shall occupy a niche in history second only to that oi Christopher Columbus. We are glad to learn that an effort is being made to raise a fund for repairing our side walks. No one's "ways need mending" more than our own, and noth­ ing would improve the appearance of our vilage or add more to the pelf respect of its inhabitants than good substantial sidewalks. The concert given by Prof. J. I. Lewis and advanced pupils, at Nunda, April 21, for the henefit of the Christian Ende&vor Society of that place, was much enloyed by all who had the pleasure of attending it. Prof. Lewis needs no praise. As an accomplished violinist and pianiBt, a teacher of rare ability, his position is assured. His pupils who took part in this concert, showed careful training and a genuine love and appreciation of a high order of music. Prof. Lewis has several pupils here, but only one, Miss Emily Chase, had a part in this concert, and she certainly did credit to her teach­ er's judgement in selecting her to repre­ sent this place, and Ringwoodhas reason to be proud of this promising young mu­ sician. To natural musical talent, she adds industry and enthusiasm, without which no one can succeed in music, or accomplish aught worthy of praise in any line of work. We venture to predict that in tne near future, Miss Chase will take a high place as. pianist and teacher of piano music. She has our kindest wishes for her success in her chosen call­ ing- In the death of Caroline Shiel, wife of SpenceJ Cotting, our neighboring village of Richmond has lost one of its ablest women, the church a sincere and faithful Christian, the family circle a loving wife and mother. Possessed of a sunny dis­ position, clcar intellect, and a loving heart, she gathered about her a circle of friends wherever she was known, ever retaining them by the beautiful consis­ tency of her dally life and the purity and strength of her character. No one can justly estimate the influence for good that her life has exerted on those around her, but the memory of her kindly, help­ ful words, and gentle deeds will be fondly cherished in the many hearts that now mourn her loss. Much interest is now manifested throughout this State, in the formation of Women's Columbian Exposition Clubs. Mrs. Mary R. Joslyii, of Woodstock, has been chosen president of those clubs for McHenry county, and has entered upon her duties with much energy and ability. Several clubs have a'ready been formed and some good work done. These ob­ jects of these clubs is to bring into prom­ inence women's work in the arts, sciences, trades and professions, to diffuse a more general knowledge of the Exposition as an educa tor and in every way to awaken an interest in it. Alsb to devise means to enable members to give a more ex­ tended attendance than they would otherwise be able to do. Mrs. Joslyn wishes to have a club formed in Rinisr- wood and has appointed Mrs. N. P. Buckland vice" president. The ladies in Ringwood and vicinity are requested to meet at L. A. Waterman's on Saturday afternoon, May 7th, at three o'clock to organize. A full attendence desired. • Modem Eailway Train. The "Alton's" St. Louis Limited. It's vestibuled, luxuriously equipped, but best of all it's fast. Leaves Chicago 11 A. M., arrives St. Louis 7:30 p.

That little scheme put up by the late demented unequalized and his coterie of "me-to's" at Elgin last week, didn't work to any extent. It is well understood that certain "Mas beens" were riding frantically (and on passee) around from place to place begging some one to accept the nomination for member of the State Board of Equalization, the agon­ izing cry went up, "Any one to beat Eldredge." But after discovering the mutilated condition in which "the Hon­ orable" found himself after trying to per­ form that impossible feat, no one could be found foolhardy enough to run the risk of becoming disfigured in the same manner. The delegates from this County were instructed to use all honorable means to further the nomination of Geo. W. Eldredge, then why? we ask, did they not do so. Why did they say to El­ dredge, "Make me chairman of the Con­ vention or we bolt." Surely these men are not over burdened with modesty, and good/taste does not figure largely their make up. This is probablv the only instance on record where the corpse insisted on being its own funeral direc­ tor. But we are pleased to say that after a short struggle, the remains were properly buried amid great sorrowing on the part of the defunct. We have a dele: gation at Springfield this week, explain­ ing to Gov. Fifer how nobly they worked to get this County instructed for him.
