We sympathize deeply with our towns

slight pains for several days but the
parents were not alarmed at her condi

unavailing. Her death took place at
about two o’clock Thursday.
“Air there any letters ft#’ my wirn*

gentleman ; smiling, “ Melindy’s going

them handy “Domestic” paper paturns
to cut her weddin’ gownd by.”

Felton the Champion Egotist.
Editor Times : The egotism of some
men is astonishing. Ain’t Dr, Felton
the champion egotist of the age ? It is
bad enough for a man through the in
strumentality of friends to let his name
appear before ihc public as one worthy
of the people’s honor and confidence;
but for one —Dr. Felton, for instance —
to voluntarily, upon nis* own motion,
come forward and say, “ Here I am.
big Ike ; come and look at me. Ain’t I
a whale? ain’t ( some? ain’t I honest?
ain’t I the only man that can fill the of
fice ? ain’t Ia good, fresh egg? is a
species of egotism that Gils one with
disgust, and we never sec a man doing
it without losing all our respect for him.
To aspire to office or .visit to be useful
and serviceable to the public is a desir
able thing, and we commend a man’s
patriotism for so doing, but when the
people oo’ue forward and select their
own choice, we do think it the hc'ght
of an egotistic ptesumpfion for any one
else t* thrust him elf forward and say :
“ 1 am the man y iu want.’’

perfection has been attained.

Political*
The Century of tndepndence em
braces a collection from official sources
of the most important documents and
statlctics connected with the political
history of America : also a chronogical
record of the principal events from its
discovery to the present time with bio
graphical and historical skcches, etc.
Printed in German and Englished.
Nearly GOO pages. Price 82.0 ).
Never before has so much practical
information of this nature been publish
ed in any one volume.
While there are many treatise pur
porting to give valuable statistics of
America in convenient foim, it will be
found upon examination that they
contain a voluminous amount of mat*
ter which is of no utility to- any citi
zen.
A comparison of the various produc
(ions w'll convince nnv intelligent
son that the “Century of Independence”
embraces the important documents to be
ound in them all while it omits that
which is superfluous and adds instead a
vast collecti in of invaluable facts. No
other arrangement gives one-fourth the
information in the same spaee and the
arrangement is what makes it inval
uable as a reference book, it having
been complied under the immediate
supervision of officials at Washing
ton
r J he lawyer, banker, merchant and
farmer will each conclude that it must
have been prepared especially wi'h ref
fcrence to his convenience.
It is designated for this work to take
the place in politics that Webster’s Dic
tionary does in language, and Applet n s
Gazetteer in general literature. The
binding, paper anf. illustrations have
been made to compare with the general
haracter of the work.
Though a person can boa good citi
zen with* ut a thorough education, no
good citizen can enjoy the right of fran
chise intelligently without possessing the
information contained in this book.
While persons refuse to purchase or
dinary or expensive work-, all classes
will gladly avail themselves of the op.
port unity for obtaining a work so indis
pensable at so low a price.

corresponding decrease is shown in the sales
reported by all other companies. This is a
