Startling discovery by little three vear- old "Why, pa, there's a hole in your nair." The show in Philadelphia is cfficiully named an "Exhibition." So don't call it an "Exposition." It is said that the summer duster for gentlemen will be made with a trail, and will be striped with red, white and blue down me bact. The Bulletin, of Norwich, savs that there is good trout-fishing about there. Plenty of it; the best in the world. There are no trout, however. Ono of the clowns in Barnum's new show puts this conundrum: "Why is tho Centennial liko home? Because it's the dearest spot on earth." A young lady, on being asked what business her lover was in, and not liking to say he bottled Boda, answered' "He's a practising fizzician." The man who is going to make his wife a flower bed sometime next week or next, is now one of the specialties of our country.

Rockland Courier. Dom Pedro noto paper and envelopes aro the latest thing out in stationery. The paper measures six ana a halt inches by four, and is covered without folding by envelopes of the same size. A Mr. Day, who lives in New York, has not missed a day of health for tho last seventy years, and the Commercial Advef- tiser remarks that ho must he tho "live long Day" that the poets write about.

The untamed Texan door-keeper Filz- hush had not enzed on Dom Pedro more than a minute or two before the latter was fully impressed with the fact that he was looking on a "biecr man than old Grant." Customer: "IIow much for the lilies of the yalley? Florist: Five shillings a bunch. Customer Too much. Florist (blandly): Well, madame, if you will have the lilies of the valley, you must pay the vally of tne uues. A confectioner advertises "centennial kisses," and sells them two for a cent, but unless he knocks eighty-two years oil from their age and gives them away, he can't expect to compete with the raw article in this community. Norwich Bulletin.

Tho lightning struck a Patchougo on the head, on Sunday morning last, but he refused to budge an inch, and muttered doggedly: "Dat makes free times I'so been hit, and now I shouldn't Wonder ef it luff mo alone." Brooklyn Argus, "Boys," said the teacher, holding up her right forefinger to make tho scholars attentive, "what is Indian moal composed of And a little boy in the back seat, who wore patched trousers, up and said, "Please ma'am, roast missionaries." Customs crystallize rapidly in this hurrying age. Only a few years ago, when a man slipped on an orange peel, he merely swore profusely and passed on. Now he gets up with a cheerful smile and sues the city for $9,000 damages. Norwich Bulletin. An exchange says, that "a Savannah man cured his dyspepsia by taking a shovel and wheelbarrow and helping to build ken miles of a railroad." There are a largo number of dyspeptics further North, but they'll not adopt this method as long ns they can find a billiard cue to punch tho balls with, or a Health Lift to spend their strength on.

A gentleman on entering bis household the other day, was agreeably surprised on being informed by his wife that she had a health lift in the parlor. Ho stripped himself for practice, but was taken down a peg or two when he ascertained that the lift was in the shape of a huge parlor stove which the lady wished her dear husband to carry to the attic Kennebec Journal. A little Georgia shaver recently took his first ride in a Milledgeville train. When tho enrs moved off he nestled closer to bis mother, and as its speed increased he began to show some sign of consternation. Tears stood in his eyes, and when he saw that his weakness was observed he blubbered aloud.

"I ain't afraid, but I wish I had had my photograph taken before I got on this thing." A young man in Indianapolis boasted the other day that he could stand nearer a cannon that was being fired than any other man. He then took a position ten feet in advance and three to one side of the gun. During the following night he began to feel qucerly and soon half his body was paralyzed, and his physician believes it will remain so permanently, owing to a concussion of the brain. A popnlar preacher recently quoted tho dream of a seer, who saw a man in great torment in every limb except his right foot. He asked why that was excepted.

"This man," was the answer, "is being punlshod for his selfishness and indolence, and was never known to do a good deed except that he once kicked a tuft of fresh grass to a tethered ox standing in tho hot sun, and for this one act that foot is saved from torment." If tho Centennial authorities should sec fit to oflcra prize for tho pink of politeness, it is questionable whethor American exhibitors at Philadelphia could stand any chance by the side of their foreign brethren. Take, for instance, the manner adopted by the different exhibitors in giving notice that their goods are not to be handled. The blunt Yankee "handB off," printed in bold letters and fastend in half a dozen places on every case, looks brusque beside the courteous "please not handle" of tho English exhibitors, and the still more po-. lito "visitors will confer a favor," which is the way tho rcquost is worded by tho French, isgyptians and others, I belnfisatlHtttMl. no nnTllnnllff ottA tn this department, and GUARANTEE OUR WORK T3ost Gents' Sewed Boots only laoo.
