Among the advertisements we find the
following, which are astonishing for tho

The other paper is “The Boston Ga

in deep mourning, in consequence of tho

In Juno the suu goes down in Stockholm
a little before 10 o’clock. There is a
great illumination all night, as the sun
passes round the earth toward tho North
Pole, and the refraction of its rays is
such that you can seo to read by midnight
without any artificial light. There is a
mountain at tho head of Bothnia where,
the 21st of June, the sun does not ap
pear to go down at all. The steamboat
goes up from Stockholm for the purpose
of conveying those who are curious to
witness the phenomenon. It occurs only
on one night The sun reaches the hori
zon: you can seo tho whole faeo of it, and
in fivo minutes more it begins to rise.
At the North Cape, latitude 72 deg., the
sun does not go down for several weeks.
In June it would be alx>nt 25 deg. above
the horizon at midnight. Tu the winter
tho sun disap] K-arc, and is not seen for
weeks; then it comes, and remains for
ten or fifteen minutes, after which it de
scends, and finally does not set at all,
but makes almost a circle round the
heavens.

to cut and shoot. Drake had no pistol

The Present Condition of the South.
—The New York World has a leader up
on the present condition of the negroes
in the South, based upon information re
ceived from an observing gentleman who
has just returned from*- residence of sev
en or eight months in a Gulf State. Ac
cording to this testimony emancipation is
not regarded as an evil by the owners of
the Southern plantations, ond they heart
ily acquiesce in free labor. The negroes,
ho says, arc reasonably industrious, and
improving every year under! ho wages
system. Moreover,
Tho social problem would be no prob
lem at all, if it were not for meddlesome
carpet-bag interference. A law has been
passed by tho Legislature of Louisiana
giving negroes equal rights in schools,
theatres, hotels and public conveyances ;
but tlris is something which the negroes
themselves do not care for and havo nev
er demanded. It is repulsive ond odious
to tho whites, and in their present tem
per they will never submit to it. They
will willingly be taxed to support separate
free schools for the black cnildren; the
street railroad companies in New Orleans
are ready to give up every other car to
the negroes; but association and contact
are repelled as indignities, and as a gen
eral rule, tho negroes do not claim this
land of equality. Tho attempts wliich
liave been made* to enforce it havo utter
ly failed. Every law of that kind will be
a dead letter, os there is no possibility of
executing it

to the order, and infinite pleasure to all

was very beautiful and well received; the
order escorted by the Sir Knights of De
Molay Commanaery, presented a fine ap
pearance, ar d the celebration passed off
pleasantly and with great credit to o—
Americas brethren.
At night a large audience assembled
the Chapel of tlio Masonic College, and;
while waiting for sapper, listened to sev
eral very poor five minute speeches, aud,
a great deal of effort at wit.
When tho list of speakers was exhaust

dience and lively chit-chat and social

js announced.
The multitude repaired to the Halls be
low, where was spread a superb sapper—
such a supper as would have delighted
the Priests and Levites at the celebration
of tho Cape Stone and dedication of the
Temple. While discussing the good
things at supper, the seats in the Chapel
Hall were removed, and a string band
provided. Ou returning to the HnH those
fond of the Terpaicliorean graces, took in
the situation at a glance, and in a jiffy
partners were selected for tho first quad
rille ; the signal note was sounded, (he
cat-gut vibrations quickened the general
pnlse, and a dozen sets or more plunged
joyously into the giddy mazes of the
dance. A» one hour after low twelve the
gay and festive eeene dissolved, and the
hapny votaries quietly dispersed.
We enjoyed the occasion, and felt that
it was good to be there.
Friday afternoon Dr. Hawkins afford-
l us the pleasure of a ride, and a bird’s-
eye view of the city. We were surprised
and delighted at what we saw—a beauti
ful city embowered in shady groves, aud
perfumed with the rarest shrubbery and
sweetest flower. There are not many ex
travagant mansions, but all are neat and
comfortable, exhibiting cultivated taste
and unpretentious happiness.
Saturday morning we fell into the hands
of CoL W. A. Hawkins, CoL C. T. Goode,
Col. Cntts, Dr. Eldridge, Jack Brown,
and a few others, whose hospitalityis on
ly equaled by their genial spirits.

Bad News foe Assistant Asseshobs.
A high official of the Internal Revenue
Bureau nays of the income tax bill, that
increased exemption and the reduction of
the tax in the new bill would bring the
estimated revenue from this sourco down
to about eighteen millions, and that the
fifteen hundred special Assistant Assess
ors, who are appointed annually for three
or four months’ service to assess the in
comes, can be dispensed with, because
tho exemptions leaves so few people in
district liablo for income tax that the
regular Assistant Assessor can sit in their
ottioes and wait for the income «
ments to be handed in, instead of going
after and hunting them up. The result,
ho thinks, will be a trifling assess
leaving nothing but a remnant of the
former amount to collect, so that in bis
opinion it would be better to wipe it out
altogether. «

Terrible Explosion.
An explosion of nitro-glycerine took
place in Worcester, Moss., on Wednesday
last, killing a man named Timothy Cro-
nan (an Irishman, 22 years of age) and
injuring about thirty other persons, none
of them dangerously, however. Twelve
houses were demolished and many others
badly shattered. The shock was felt all
over the city. Bells were rung and crock
ery and furniture broken half a mile dis
tent The cause of all the mischief was
nitro-glycerine that had been smuggled
into a cur and addressed to North Adams,
and was intended for the Hooeaic tunnel.
It is most astounding that bat one life
was lost and so many seriously injured.
The man killed was walking on the track
at tho time of the explosion. The nitro
glycerine was iu the last ear of a freight
train. Three cars were demolished.
Heavy bars of iron were thrown a dis
tance of nearly a quarter of a mile, and
tho shock was distinctly felt at points

PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER
Haa become au article of commerce—which no
medicine ever became before. It is as much an
item in every bill of goods sent to country mer
chants as tea, coffee or sugar. This speaks vol
umes in its favor.—Glens’ Falls Messenger.
Rev. H. L- Vanmeter, Burraah, write*, “The
Pain Killer has become au almost indispensible
article in ray family.”
Hundreds of missionaries give similar tcati-
ouy of its virtues.
Rev. J. G. Stearns writes, “I couaider the beet
remedy I know of for dyspepsia.
Rev. Jabez L. Swan says, “I havo used it tor
years in my family, and consider it an invalua
ble remedy.”
Rev. M. H. Rixby writes, • ‘I have had oeca-
use the Pain Killer very frequently dur-
BST The Sulinc (Mo.) Progress tells of
a young man in its county who came up
on a rattlesnake in his field, and cut the
snake into three pieecs with a grubbing
hoe, and was afterwards badly bitten by
one of the pieces !
ThbLisb to Eufaula.—The engin-
iTH are now in search of the best line
for the B k A R R from this city to Eu-
fanla. Two lines have already been run,
neither of which is very satisfactory.
Dawson is exceedingly anxious fora
survey crossing the S. W. Road at that
point, and passing north of Americas,
and it is asserted that a better line than
either of those surveyed can be found in
that direction. Fort Gaines also presents
a route and statistics that puzzled ns.
From Albany to Fort Gaines,it is claimed,
a dead level air line can be obtained, and
aline almost free from excavations and
fillings np the river to Eufaula. It is
believed that the road can be built
cheaper via Fort Gaines, though some
ten miles farther tlian by any line yet
projected, and that sound policy dictates
an experimental survey before locating.
The proposition is worthy of consid
eration, and should not be disregarded.—

tant brigade commissary in the whole

Fashions fob Children’s Hats and
Boots.—A New York authority says that
a charming novelty for young girls is a
summer hat of light bluo or pink silk,
with a kind of coiffure of embroidered
Swiss muslin edged with Valenciennes
lace. A quilling of silk surrounds the
crown; bow and streamers are at the back.
Bronzed boots are worn with brown or
white dresses, but black kid boots, cut
only half high, ornamented with white
stitching, and either buttoned or laced
on the sides, are more generally adopt
ed.

horses.
