MAIM DISPATCHES. CATTLE SHOWS. Second liny ol the Annmtl Kennebec County Agricultural Enir and Show— A Larue Attendance* W I NTH HOP. Sept. 30. The second day of the Kennebec show opened with splendid weather. Fully 5000 people were in attendance.

Men from Meganiic arrived in Phillip*, Tuesday, and say there are 18 cases of small pox there. As this is so near this part of the State much alarm is felt. Some of Phillips’ leading citizens prepose to appeal to the State Board of Health to do something to prevent the spread of the disease, as many Canadians come here from the place. Badly Burned. Bangor, Sept. 30. Ella Rand, aged fourteen, probably fatally, and Bertha Corson, aged eight, seriously burned this evening by the breaking of a kerosene lamp while ascending the stair*.

Everything is still quiet and no danger is j at present feared, but some of Monday night’s i rioters have expressed a determination to keep quiet while the volunteers remain under arms, aod to resume the attack soon as there is any laxity in the present precautions. A large number of special constables are‘likely to be sworn in. The returns at the Health Office today show 42 deaths from small pox in the city ye*»ter- j day; b in St. Jean Baptiste; 6 in St. Cune- j gande; 2 in (’ate St. Louis, and 1 in St Henri. Yesterday 213 people w ere vaccinat 7 houses disinfected 28 placards posted and 'J cards cleaned. The police are search- ing every possible place for small pox patients There were 184 deaths from small pox in this city during the tour days ending hues- j day night, besides 51 in adjoining municip- j alities. The hospital committee has decided to erect an incineration furnace in which to j burn refuse of every description and to build a mortuary house. There will be no cess a- ti »n of compulsory vaccination and placard- j ing will go on as usual. Movais and Beebe who were arrested dur ing the riot Monday night were today sen- fenced to four months imprisonment. Over j luo placards were torn down in the eastern district yesterday, but the sanitary police re- j placed them today. This afternoon three j members of the fifth royal scouts were badly 1 beaten by a crowd of roughs. Affairs were generally quiet today. FROM W ASHINGTON. Report of the Committee Appointed to Investigate the Postal Service in New York and llrooklyn —Another ivil Service Commissioner Resigns. Washington, Sept. dO. The committee appointed by Postmaster General Vilas to investigate the postal ser vice at New York and Brooklyn have sub mitted a report. The Brooklyn post office was found lar behind the age in the matter of handling mails, the methods in vogue be ing sb)w and erroneous to a remarkable de gree and the system of distribution being neither modern or intelligent. Branch of flees massed the mail in the main office which passed it over to the New York office for dis-1 trihution and dispatch, thus causing a delay 1 and errors. The committee believes that the 1 clerks in the immediate charge of distribu tion and dispatch of mails are not qualified for the work and that no correct and expe ditious service can be looked tor in the of- I flee until some changes are made ami new life ami vigor introduced into the mailing division. More rigid discipline and modi rn methods of education in the handling of mail must be adopt' d or the service will continue to be a reproach to postoffiee department and imposition on the patrons of the office. Va rious improvements are recommended. The committee think some competent postoffiee inspector should have supervision for the present over the Brooklyn postoffiee, making frequent visits there and insisting that re forms, so much desired, shall be carried out properly and in good faith. The service in New York city was found to be excellent. Dr. Gregory, of the board of civil service commissioners, has tendered his resignation to take effect whenever the President shall call for it. A SHABBY STRUCTURE lu C hicago Caves in lint Fortunately >o One Was In jured. Chicago, Sept. 30. Early this morning alorge lour story build in the rear of Dake bakery at ID Clark street, Chicago, suddenly began creaking like a ship in a heavy sea. and soon the posts btgan sinking through the floors. Men working in the basement of the bakerv fled for their lives. An alarm of fire was rung in and while the alley was crowded with firemen and policemen looking for the fire, the walls sud denly fell in with a terrible crash. The bricks fell in and had they fallen outward a largo loss of life would undoubtedly have occurred. Two sides of the building still stand and are propped up bv the adjoining buildings The floors have all caved in. The loss is es timated to be about $60,000, as the cjntent* of the building were very valuable, there being §10,000 worth of dessicated egg alone in one part. The second floor was stored with flour. On the third floor there was a large machine shop with a valuable plant. The fourth floor was demoted to the manufac ture of printing rollers. No one was injured. THE GENESTA. A I’robability That the Cutter Will Re main in this Country. New Yoke, Sept. 30. The sails of the Genesta were unbent yes terday and her topmast was sent down. It is not thought probable that her mast will be taken out as (.'apt. Carter thinks she can as well carry the present mast on the return trip as the smaller one with which she made her passage here. It is not. however, at all certain that the cutter will go back to Eng land. A member of the New York Yacht Club offered yesterday 820,000 for the yacht which Mr. Beavor Webb refused but said that he would accept 830,000 for her. The gen tleman who made the offer was on board the Genesta yesterday afternoon with Webb and it is quite probable that he will advance 85000 on his first offer in which case he will probably obtain the yacht. Should he pur chase her both the Brenton’s Reef and the Cape May cups will, by the terms of their deeds of gift, go back to the New York Yacht Club. Fire destroyed the most important part of the town of Iquique, Mexico, Tuesday. Lots estimated at 82,000,000. SPORTING. BASE BALL. 1 he New Yorks Again Defeated, Which Practically Settles the Championship. Chicago, Sept. 30. There was an indescribable scene of tu multuous cheering and hat swinging at tne White Stocking Base Ball Park this after noon at the close of the ninth inning, when it was certain victory had again perched on the banner of the home team, giving them an almost undisputed claim to the pennant. They defeated the New York stalwarts bv a score of 2 to 1 with one inning to spare. The attendance was 11,300 and thus despite the skv which constantly threatened rain the au dience was kept clear of the field and conse quently no ground rules were necessary. The Chicagos scored their runs in the fourth and seventh innings, both of which were earned. The first was made by a two base hit from Dalrymple’s bat. followed by a one base hit by Gore bringing in l)alrvmple. In the seventh inning, with two men out, Pfefler scored a clean home run, sending the ball over the right field lence. The New York team scored their run in tile ninth inning when the shadows were thickening very fast on two successive throws to Anson on the first base from the in-field, he being unable to see the ball and failing to get it. 1 lit* game was a splendid contest and up to the ninth inning was perfectly played, what ever errors occurred being credited on the Chicago side to the battery. The contest was exciting at every point and the score was kepi so low that a clean base hit at four or five stages of the game would have turned! the tide in either direction. Five of the New York side died on base* for the need of a I clean hit, while the Chicagos had only one. Keefe, for the New Yorkers, pitched without a single error ami was batted for five bits for a total of nine bases, while the New York batsmen confined themselves to five hits for as many totals. Cleaner fielding than was exhibited by the New Yorks was not possible, some of the out-field plays being remarkably brilliant, but on the part of the Chicagos no resulting errors occurred until the last in ning w hen they were excusable and almost unavoidable. The New Yorkers lost the toss and were senf to the hat. Following is the detailed score: Chicago.

Ford of the New York Athletic Cluh and Alfred Ing of the West Side Athletic Cluh. The first place in any competition counted five points, second place three points and the third place one point.

John Hay’s Pilot Knox of Augusta Win* in Three Straight Heat* ansi Lowers Hi* Own Record by One Second and a Quarter. Boston, Sept .30. All the conditions were favorable tor the great stallion race at Mystic Park this after noon. The day was perfect, the track in fine condition ami fully SOtX people witnessed the trotting. Of the seven horses entered Don Carlos, record of 2 25$, aud Almont Gitt, rec ord of 2 27$. were drawn, leaving but five starters. In drawing positions King Almont drew the pole, Westmont second place. Pilot Knox third, Montgomery fourth with Kmg Wilkes on the outside. Pool selling was prohibited, but manv private bets were made. Pilot Knox selling favorite before the race at $25 to $20 against the field. The race was for a cup valued at $1000, offered bv the Spirit ot the Times, and a purse ot $7125 of which the winner took 70 per cent; the sec ond horse 20 per cent, and the third horse 10 per cent. The horses were called shortly alter 2 o'clock, but it was not until 2 40 that the start was effected. Five tunes they came to the wire and were as many times sent back They were finally sent away well together on the sixth scoring. Pilot Knox quickly shot to tile tront and at the quarter was leading with King Wilkes a length behind and King Almont two lengths in the rear of Wilkes, Montgomery and Westmont trailing. These relative positions were maintained till the hall mile was passed when Pilot Knox wid ened the gap to two lengths between himself and King Wilkes, bat the latter quickly shortened the distance again to a length. Pilot Knox kept the advantage to the finish. On the homestretch Montgomery and West mont exchanged places, the former taking third place and the latter fourth. With this exception the order at the finish was the same as at the quarter. Pilot Knox won the heat by a good length and beating his own record by 1$ second. Time, 35$, 1.10, 1.45$, 2.191. When the horses were called for the sec* ond heat it was announced that Westmont i had been drawn, having become slightly lame. The horses went oil well hum lied in I the second scoring, Pilot Knox showing the way, w ith King Wilkes second, Montgomery third, King Almont fourth. At the quarter King Wilkes was making a warm fight for the first place, being nearly abreast of the leader. Pilot Knex gradually drew away from him and at the half mile was leading by over a length, Montgomery being several lengths behind Wilkes, with King Al niont a length behind Montgomery. Johnny Murphy, who drove King Wilkes, tried hard to overtake Pilot Knox on the last quarter, but the latter trotted with a steady clock movement that brought him in the win ner by about length. Montgomery broke badly on the hack stretch and lost ground slightly, hut finished third three lengths behind King Wilkes, with King Almont last. Time, .37, 1.10, 1.45, 2 20^ The third heat proved to he the most excit ing of the race. Pilot Knox led slightly at the first quarter, but it could be seen that King Wilkes was bound t make a good fight for the leadership, while Montgomery wax gradually quickening his pace. At the half mile. Pilot Knox led by a length, with King Wilkes and Montgomery neck and neck tor the second place, and King Almont several lengths behind. From the half mile Montgomery slowly but surely gained upon Wilkes, and on the home stretch, by a magnificent spurt, passed him and was pressing Pilot Knox hotly for first jdace. Pilot Knox, how* v* r, held his lead, trotting squarely, and came under the wire a neck ahead of Montgomery, with King Wilkes 4 lengths behind, and King Almont far in the rear. The finish was very exciting ami Montgomery and his driver were loudly cheered for their fine work.

Judge Ferguson, in a speech here today, said: Never before in the history ot Ireland had such a reckless disregard of life and property been known. If immediate sups were not taken for the suppression ot crime, a more stringent coercion act than had ever been passed would be necessary to restore order. Fori ign Notes. London, Sept. 30.

The stale Convention Held at Springfield —A Platform of Pure Republicau Prin ciple* Adopted—Heard .Nominated for state Trea*arer—The Rest ot the Old Ticket Re-nominated. Stringfisi.d. Mass.. Sept. 30. It was 12.40 when the State committee ap peared upon the platform of City Hail to open the republican Siate convention, and at that hour nearly every seat in the fiat 1 a as occupied. The announcement by the board that the convention would come to order **s received with applause, and the roll was then read by the secretary. Ou motion of Mr. Breed of Lynn, Hon. A. W. Beard was chosen temporary chairman, j and Col. J. J. Whipple temporary secretary. Prayer a a* offered by Rev O. ti. Bucking ham, 1) 1>.. after which Mr. Beard addressed the convention. In the course of his remarks Mr. Beard salt), among other things, that this was the first time since 18(10 that the republicans of Massachusetts had met in convention with a national administration in the hands ot the democratic party. Notwithstanding the de feat in the last presidential election the re viving prosperity of the country is based upon the confidence which business men ah over the country have in the republican Sen ate of the United States. They have taith that the Senate will prevent vicious ami de structive legislation upon the tariff and upon the currency, flic hope of the business men of the nation for the suspension of the coinage j of the silver dollar, for the passage of a ju- I dicinus national bankrupt law. rests not upon the democratic party in Congress, hut upon the republican members aided bv a small minority oi the democrats. He said that not until there is a republican majority in the National House ot Kepreseiuatives would there be fair elections in the South. 1 he men who plan and carry on murder ous election campaigns in the South know that a democratic House will not question how a democrat obtained his certificate of election. He predicted that a republican majority would be elected in the House next year, and in 1888 a republican president and republican congress would administer the nation's affairs. He concluded by urging upon the attention of the convention the tact that the election in Massachust lis tins year would be especially important because of us influence upon national atlairs. The committee on credentials reported that 328 cities and towns were represented by 1022 delegates. The committee on per manent organization then reported the name of Hon. Geo. F. Hoar as permanent presi dent and Mr. Hoar was escorted to the plat form amid great applause and delivered a long address. 1 he follow ing is the platform ol the con vention We, tfie republicans of Massachusetts, in convention assembled, reaffirm once more our adherence to those principals ol freedom, equality ami national supremacy ami liberal constitutional construction upon which our party w as founded, and by w inch it has pros pere i and been euabhd to advance the w el fare of the country. We renew our pledger* to the sailors ami sailors of the war that all shall be done for them ami theirs, both in Slate and nation, that justice and gratitude alike can give. We demand the prompt ac tion by Congress of a general bankrupt law substantially as passed by the Senate of the U. S. during the last Congress. We de mand their immediate and unconditional sus pension of the overvalued silver dollar. We urge the rigorous enforcement of the Kd- j mund- law in Utah, with the passage of such amendments as wnl give it increased effi ciency ami the encouragement of the ‘Kan-, saw plan of settling the Mormon territory with iaw-abidiug American citizens. We give to the civil service act as passed by a republican Congress our hearty and con tinued approval and, in accordance with our last national platform, we demand the ex tension of ail the principles of that act to all the business offices of the government, and the repeal of the four years’ tenure law. We favor any reform revisions or reductions in the customs duties which will benefit our labor or our industries, but we pledge our selves to the firm mamtainance oi the pro tective principle which prevents the displace ment hi »ur home markets of American by foreign products, with a consequent diimnu ation of employment and w hiuh also guards us from a competition which would result in the wages ot American workingmen being regulated by the standard which foreign manufacturers would dictate. The republican party has always been an essetially national and Union party. It is opposed to sectionalism and to geographical division in any and evtry form. It has heart ily and deeply rejoiced in the manifestations ot sympathy ami good feeling at the South, called patriot. As republicans we w ish lor complete and perfect reconciliation between the sections. To have such reconciliation, the results ol the war must be accepted every where in good faith. One result has not been accepted. The negro, enfranchised by the war, is largely deprived of his privilege as a voter. In certain States elections are a mockery. The returns are fraudulent and voting a farce. If we were to he silent as to this crying evil, we should be false to all the i traditions and principles of our party as well as those ot the American government and j American freedom. Against this great wr ,ng so dangerous and so un-American, yet vindicated and main tained by successive democratic majorities in the House of Hepresentatives we propose to agitate and to prohibit. We appeal against it to public opinion, both North and South. We shall seek redress in an aroused public con science and in proper legislation. We shall not be content until the wrong is crushed out and justice done. As one specific measure tending to remedy this evil, we urge upon Congress the policy of making liberal grants in aid of primary education in the recent slave states. As we protest against the suppression oi the negro vote, so also in the same spirit do we protest against election frauds, counte nanced and fostered by the democratic party in certain cities of the North,anil we denouce the action of {'resident Cleveland, in pardon ing a criminal like Lieut. Muilen, because by so doing he directly encourages and condones the dangerous crimes against the ballot; to endorse honest and dignified administration of government. We give our hearty approval aud we pledge to him our earnest and un swerving support. We urge upon our state legislature the wisdom ot submitting to the decision of tbe people the question of biennial elections. We commend the action of the legislalue in behalt of stricter and more direct responsi bility in municipal government. We feel keenly tbe evils of intemperance. We are prepared to support tbe most stringent legis lation for their suppression that can be made effective, and we believe that the first step toward checking them is the rigid enforce ment of the existing laws. Massachusetts under republican rule hat done much for labor. No other state ap proaches our record in this respect. We urge close and considerable attention to all questions affecting this great interest, and we commend to the legislature the careful con sideration of tbe plan of a state board of I arbitration, on the principle of employers' liability, of the regulation of convict labor so that it shall not compete with the honest labor of the commonwealth, of the more fre quent payment of wages by corporations. In presenting our candidates ami our prin ciples to the people of Massachusetts we ask only for a fair discussion and candid consid eration. We welcome again those who last year severed their party connections and united with us for the first lime, and we gladly open our doors to all who join us in sustaining our candidate ami principles. The rosolution* were unanimously adopt ed, and at 5 15 the work of the convention w as ended, and the delegates remained to listen to a speech by lien. J. R Hawley. The following ticket was nominated Governor—George 1>. Robinson. Lieutenant Governor—Oliver Ames. Secretary of State—Henry R Pierce. Treasurer—* A. W. Heard. Auditor—C. R. Ladd Attorney (tenoral—Kdgar Sherman. All the nominations were unanimous. This is the old ticket with the exception of the substitution of A. W. Heard for treasurer in place ol D. A. Gleason. General Haw ley said that the republican party si ill had a great mission to perform. One of these w as to right the wrongs in the the south by which the votes ot American citizens had been and are suppressed.

Bryan Co Holyoke, Mass.; 83.50 a year. Fun at Princeton. The hazers at Princeton did not have their own way, if we may judge by the following story of a son of Congressman Hewitt, told in the N. Y. Tribune Like h s father he has a, grim sense of humor and he gave play to this when a half dozen sophomores made an evening (tall on him. Young Hewitt p ditely responded to the de mand to “open up,” and the men of ’S8 hav ing got safely into his room, looked around for amusement. One of them called on young Hewitt to sing. “I cannot sing,” lie replied, gravely, hut I am a musician in my way, and I can perhaps accommodate you with some instrumental music.” What instrument do you play “The French horn.” All right, trot it out.” The young man produced the instrument, and preparatory to playing, he calmly opened the window, and straightway from the instru ment there proceeded terrific, heart-rending, braying notes, which penetrated the whole campus and made night hideous. There was a» once a stampede from the room. Nut ;i sophomore doubted that the proctor was on his way to that room. But no, the proctor, hearing the tumultuous brazen discord, and surmising tne cause, had carefully posted himself at the main exit to the hall, and there he intercepted tlie halt dozen sophomores and led them off in triumph. They made up a goodly portion of the number of sophomores who duly appeared before the faculty. The Fear of Famine in India. Famine costs tlie Indian Government $75, 000,000 every ten years, it is estimated, ami the suffering of the people dnring the continu ance of such a visitation is terrible. Drought in Deccan and floods in Bengal have com bined to destroy the crops of the present sea son, and the cable brings intelligence front Calcutta that there is consternation at the prospect of the famine now impending. The Famine Commissioners of 1870 declared that it would he necessary to build 5,000 miles of railway in India to prevent the recurrence of famine, hut as the British Government agreed to a loan of $140,000,000 for the pur pose onlv a year ago, it is probably that dila tory action upon the report of the Famine Commission will result disastrously to the vast population of India. However, $205, 000,000, exclusive of about $150,000,000 in terest. has been expended in the construction of railways in India, and as the present mile age is about 11,000 miles, the transportation of fo >d will he much loss difficult than dur ing previous famines, although complete pro tection from famine requires an extension of the railway system 5.000 miles. The slow ness of John Bull often results in much in convenience to others as well as to himself Children's Pocket Money. Teach children the proper use of money. Begin with a small allowance of pocket money which they shall feel is their own, and let an account of its expenditure be made to you. Oarelully guard against any ridicule if there have been foolish purchases, for that will soon beget distrust, then follows de ceit. and very soon you will never know what has become of the money. Kindly advise, so that if your boy is tempted to spend his money in a way he knows is wrong, he will come to you and tell of it. Until you feel positively compelled to doit, do not withdraw your allowance. It may be that you will find no other way to stop a career of wasteful and sinful extravagance, but let all effort be made in other ways first Teach your boys to earn a little for themselves. Many little ways will suggest themselves. It is so much more helpful to them, as well as an enjoyable pride, that it’s always well to encourage all such endeavor We know a mother who prizes, above all her other possessions, a pair of gold sleeve buttons purchased with tin1 first money her hoy ever earned, and though he is now in business for himself, we fancy he never invested anv money more cheerfully than that.

Not a lost letter has ever been traced to this office. No recommendation was ever made tty me to tin- Department which was not ap proved, and at ail times tins office lias had the endorsement of the Department at Washington. The record ot the office is one that should forever put to silence any unfavorable criticism of it its record, Ido not hesitate say, is not surpassed in the mail service of the United States. During my administration of the office, tlie letter-carrier sysli-m lias been established, which has been largely patronized, so that more mail is now delivered by the carriers tiian is distributed from the office. The car rier system is one which our citizens will never willingly surrender. Seven-eighths of tlie citizens living within what is termed the “city limits, can have the benefit of a ser vice which brings their mail daily to their door, in sunshine and, storm, ommitting no holiday, and respecting only Sunday, and lakes whatever they may desire to transmit through the mails. 1 feel proud to think tiiat my name cannot be separated from toe free delivery system of this city, and I am more titan proud of the faithful way in which tlie carriers, whom I have had tlie honor to recommend for appointment, have per formed their duties. Another monument is to he raised; 1 refer to the new post Offlce building. The great publishing houses oi Messrs. K. 0. Allen, and Vickery' liill, furnished the business which formed tlie basis of our claim lor this building: and 1 may be pardoned ll I say that in season and out I urged the claim upon the attention of our delegttinn in Congress, who bv tiieir un- I tiring efforts secure I lie- passage ot the bill, special credit being given to Senator Hale, and our able Congressman, Hon. S. U. Milli ken. I Hin very glad of tin* opportunity to sav to you all, that during mv administration of the post-office. I have made no personal ap pointments. K*ery promotion has been made because of well-doing. No assess ment tor political purposes has been made in the office; voluntary contributions have been made by such of you as desired to make them, but there has been no sort of solicita tion, pressure, inducement, or hope of re ward held out t«» influence any employe, and as you who have never contributed a dollar, know it in no way effected your stand ing.or prospects of promotion. I do not mean to imply that you have not performed politi cal service. Most of you have rendered val uable service to .your party, and have been ready at all times to do all that you possibly could to bring to it victory. You have shown to it the same fidelity in defeat that you exhibited in its triumph; but whatever service you have rendered has been volun tarily. No man ceases to be a citizen because be holds an office, or is in the employment of the government, and that he i* deemed com petent to till a puplic office should not deprive him of any of his rights. He should enjoy absolute liberty to think, and speak, and act in political matters according to bis own will and conscience, provided only, that he hon orably, faithfully and fully discharges ail his official duties. You have never transgressed this rule. You have been faithful,diligent anti zealous in the discharge of your duties', and uniformly courteous in your intercourse with the public. You may have been effective, but you have not been offensive partisans. You may look back upon your services with just pride, and if you carry through life, the same fidelity to duty, the same ear nestness of purpose, you may be sure of suc cess. No better guide can be given for the conduct ot a man. whether in public or pri t ate station, than to deal honestly with every duty, and with all men. .ImuntmrnVa. Cot. Krinplf To-night. Col. Kemple and his tunny lecture will be the attraction at Granite Hall tonight.

Manley turns over his trust as Postmaster of Augusta, to his re cently appointed successor, Mr. Lemuel B. Fowler. Mr. Manlev was appointed to the position of Postmaster on the 21st of May. j 1881, was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, but did not enter upon the duties ot' his office until the first of July following, i L nder his administration, the office here has kept fully abreast of the improvements made i in the postal service of the country; and in the promptness, efficiency and reliability of its operations, has not been a whit inferior to that of the best conducted offices in the larger cities. W hen he assumed the duties of the office the entire business of all the departments was be ing transacted to great disadvantage in very circumscribed quarters, and with an inade- 1 quate force. He provided new and convenient quarters for the immense newspaper business, and this enabled him to remodel and newly fit up the central office, enlarge the money order and registered letter departments, pro vide desks for the use of the public, and am ple accommodations for the increased force made necessary by the public demand for a more efficient service. Mr. Manley’s large 1 acquaintance with the public men at Wash ingtou gave him influence in securing benefits for our people which will mark his adrninis tration of the affairs of the post-office as one of the most successful since Augusta became a city. Next came the free delivery system, almost solely the result of Mr. Man ley’s persistent efforts in calling the at tention of the department at Washington, to the wants and necessities of the service here. This new feature bounded into popularity at once, and our citizens and business men now regard it. if not a necessity, a luxury which they would not Villinglv relinquish. And when the new public building shall rise in Market square, with its massive granite walls, it will be as much a monument to his perse vering industry and ability in presenting the claims of our city, as to the Urge publishing houses here whose business demanded such a building, and the members of Congress from this section who contributed so much to the final passage of the bill. In whatever direction the retiring postmas ter could serve the public in his official or personal relations, he has sought to do so, and he ever consulted their interest. In an educated and discerning mind, he has brought a fund of good nature and kindly impulses that has made him an official eager to respond to all demands made upon him. Gentlemanly and courteous at all times, generous and hearty in his benefac tions. he has been popular with the people and his employes, and has challenged the allegiance of those whose friendship is more than a sentiment, and who on his retirement from the office will follow him with their kindly wishes into whatever profession or occupation he nny enter in the future, as a respected and honored citizen of his native city.

I have been, tor some little time, a close bat appreciative reader of Good House keeping. “taking it all in,” as the saying is. I have otten wished to add my mite to help on an enterprise, the noblest ever undertaken,—that of helping people to make their homes better and happier, and, if I'm not intruding. I would like to say a few words about “That Baby.” “Whose baby?” Why, the good house keeper’s. oi course. Who ever heard of a home without a baby? It would seem that, after all these years of bringing up children, some plan might have been in vented bv which they could be brought up by rule;"but, so far, every baby is a bran new one, with wants of peculiarities of its own, and when a first one, often a great care and trial, for, until there is a well patronized school for the training of women on the point, the ignorance of many young mothers will make them helpless for a time. It is for that class these few words are designed, so the older dames need waste no time in reading farther. Next to the question of who it looks like comes the one of "is is well?” (I should put it the other way in impor tance, but I notice that the question of looks takes precedence with the first baby). At this time of the year, and especially if baby is teething, the question of health and proper food becomes one of great im portance, for slight ailments often lead to grave results and simple attacks of indi gestion to cholera infantum, that most dreaded foe of babyhood. Many times attention to little matters will prevent disaster, and should my ad vice seem "too nice,” remember the chord that binds the life to the body may be ou ly a thread to break with the slightest jostle. A few things are absolutely essen tial to health.—proper tood, pure air, and cleanliness. I will not now dwell on the two last mentioned, but speak only id the food. No question is more often asked, none harder to answer, at times, than “What shall baby eat?” In former times it was, evidently, not so hard a question, but civilization and education in other directions does not seem to make this matter any better. We find the question asked quite often, when the baby is fortunate enough to have mother’s milk, for sometimes, owing either to some condition of the mother or the baby, the little stomach quarrels with its food and, after sundry cramps and colics, bounces it as an intruder, or, re- fusing to digest it, the milk resolves itself into little bullets too heavy to hold. Then it becomes our duty to note carefully whether the mother is over-working, or is mentally depressed. Is she battling with j a weak stomach, which cannot perform its work has she been piecing out a scant supply of milk by making a canal of her self, thinking if she can, by any means, increase the quantity, it is all that is neces sary 11 so, 1 beg of you to stop; it is quality, rather than quantity you want, and this can be gotten best by eating nu tritious food and drinking chocolate, cocoa or milk. Avoid cotl'ee and eschew larger. If no fault can be found with the milk, examine baby give him, or her, a little pepsin, alter eating, for a few days, and if the matter cannot be righted, wean and change to a bottle. A bottle baby isn’t sure to die, by any means, and the chances are in its favor. dear, says some one, “I never can 1 bring up a baby on the bottle. ’’Never is a long word, my friend Let us see if I can help you. First, we must have our bottles. Two will do. (One old doctor used to say “Seven bottles on seven pegs on the south side of the house,) but with care and method, 1 think we may get along nicely with two. They should be perfectly smooth inside, no lettering to catch particles of milk; the size and shape is not material: the black rubber tubes and nipples are considered the best. These with the brushes for tube and bottle and we are ready to begin. Only one bottle should be in use at a time; the other to be clean and exposed to the sun meanwhile. Many like the plan of using one bottle irom 12 M. to 12 1’. M., thus giving both bottles a chance to scald in the sun. To wash the bottles use hot water, in which dissolve a little baking soda; little soap is needed, rinse thoroughly. The rubber tubing should not be scalded as hot water sottens the rubber, but wash iu warm water containing a little soda; rinse thoroughly with clear water; be sure to take the tubing all apart, even to that lit tle piece which protects the end of the glass tube, and leave them apart until dry. Much of this work can be avoided by using only a nipple. This necessitates holding the baby while it nurses, which plan, although better for baby, is seldom followed. After the child has nursed, the milk which it left, if any, should be poured out and the bottle and tube rinsed and left open until wanted. Do not set it one side corked up tightly, to warm over again. You can have no idea how it will taste and smell, it you do, unless you try it, and you will never try it a second time. So much for the bottle; now what shall be put in it? Goat’s milk is nearest like hu man. and in cities vies with condensed milk in importance. In other places, however, cow’s milk, in varying propor tion to suit cases, is the staple article; but the “varying proportions to suit cases, that is where the rub comes. The milk should be obtained from one cow, and should correspond somewhere near n age. In warm weather it should l>e brought twine a day, the milk allowed to stand and the top being used. As to pro portion, it is usually safe to begin with one-fourth milk to three-fourths water: if it is found that the infant can bear more, increase slowly up to one-third milk at three months and one-half milk at six months. There are many natent food? before the public, all having more or less value. Mellin's food seems to stand the highest on examination, but does not always agree as well as some others. If Mellin's food is used, it is sel dom satisfactory to follow the rule on the bottle, which is one-half milk, one half water, plus the tood one-third milk will be more apt to agree with young infants. If baby is teething, it is well to give small quantities of lime water, three or tour tablespoonfuls in the milk, during the day. l)o not give large quantities of it. If troubled with summer complaint, the use of part red raspberry leaf tea, to reduce the milk, will often prove effi cacious in preventing the running into anything more serious. Sometimes chil dren over eight months sicken on one kind of tood and tease for other. While not advocating the common practice of feed ing babies everything in such cases, it be comes a necessity sometimes and our choice will be limited to such as mutton broth, from which all grease has been re moved, cracker gruel, toast, and some times, rarely boiled beefsteak, so cooked that the outside will be charred salt it a little and let baby have it to get the juice out. If potato is given, it should be A Bank may fail, ami yet, by wise management, regain its credit. So, also, if wise eouusels are followed, the strength and vigor of a failing constitution may be restored. Many cases like tbe following could be cited": Frank Laprise, Salem st., Lowell, Mass., says, that on account of impure blood, his whole constitution was shaken. After taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla freely for a mouth, his health was restored, and his original vigor regained.
