The trade dollar is an orphan; it has lost its

Lightning never strikes twice in one place. 
It isn’t necessary. 
Civility is dear to everybody, and yet it 
costs nobody anything. 
A London occulist says that culture dimin¬ 
ishes tbe size of the eyes. Now just listen to 
that! Everybody knows that small i’s are a 
sign of the entire absence of culture. 
“Julius, was you eber iu business?” “In 
course I was.” “What business?” “A sugar 
planter.” “When was that my colored friend?” 
“De day I burrid tbut. ole sweetheart of mine.” 
At a restaurant: Dinner—“Here, waiter, I 
s ay, confound it, this game is too much so.” 
Waiter, blandly—“Beg pardon sir but you’re 
mistaken, sir. It’s tbe other gentleman’s fish 
at the next table, sir.” 
A gentleman who had tarried late at his 
club found his wife in a high state of nervous¬ 
ness awaiting his return. She said—“Here 
I’ve been waiting and rocking iu the chair till 
my head spins round like a top!” “Jess so, my 
dear, where I've been,” responded he. “I 
think itsh in the atmosphere.” 
An Irishman who had been contending that 
a mule was a nobler animal than the horse, 
said that a mule had once saved him from 
drowning. “How was that Paddy?” asked 
one of the by-standers. “Faith he gave me 
such a lick wid his hine leg that he landed me 
on the other side of the canawl instidof in it.”

Cauliflowers, 249 Barrels on one and a quarter

My land is much improved by the use of the Mapes Manure. 
IS. E. JIO SILK, It I verhend, Suffolk <’o., IV. V., December 18, 1883, writes: 
“1 have used your fertilizers for years, and I have good reason to bo well satisfied with the re¬ 
sult. 
“For potatoes I used from four to six bags per acre, and never have less than 200 bushels per 
acre without other manure. 
“ With your Cauliflower Manure I have good success. My yield this year on one and a quar¬ 
ter acres was 249 barrels. 
“For oats 1 used two bags ‘A’ Brand per ucre, and they yielded eighty bushels per acre. The 
man that thrashed them says they were the heaviest filled oats he ever thrashed 
“In the Spring of 1882 I bought one bag each of four different kinds of fertilizers to test on my 
potatoes. The fertilizers were weighed, so that each competing row had the same value of man¬ 
ure. In the fall I weighed the potatoes; those with the Mapes were far the best in yield and 
size. 
“I can see that my laud is much improved by the use of the MapeB Manures. 
Corn, Cabbag’e and Sweet Corn. 
100 bushels per acre of eery tjood Corn. Yield of Cabbage was splendid. No better Cabbage 
went to market. Sweet Corn a splendid crop. 
JOHN in ;.n i, v, irianlinKMet, Queen* < o., v. v December 12, 1888, reports: 
•‘Corn; Planted May loth, on suudy soil: used two bags of the Mapes Manure to the acre, in 
the hills. The yield was 100 bushels per acre of very good corn. 
“Cabbage: Planted July 10th; used thre? bags of your Cabbage Mauure to the acre, alone. 
The yield was splendid. No bettor cabbage went to market. 
“Sweet Corn was planted first of May, with three bags of Corn Manure to the acre, alone, 
from which I had a splendid crop.”

HUMBUGGED AGAIN. 
I saw so much said about the merits of flop Bitters, 
and my wife, who was always doctoring and never 
well, teased me so urgently t i get her some. I con¬ 
cluded to be humhuggod again, and T am glad I dirt, 
for In less than two months’ use of the Bitters, my 
wife was cured and she 1ms remained so for eighteen 
months since. I like such humbugging. II. T., St.

I know Hop Bitters will be-.r recommendation hon¬ 
estly All who use them confer upon them the high¬ 
est encomiums, and give them credit for making 
cures all the proprietors claim for them 1 have 
kept them since they were first offered to the public. 
They took High rank from the llr-it, and maintained 
tt, and are more called fnr than all other* combined. 
So long as they keep up their high reputation for 
purity and usefulness, I shall continue to recommend 
them—something I have never done before with any 
patent medicine. ,1 J. Dauoock. M.D.

or blemish with it. It 13 a powerful, ac¬ 
tive, reliable and safe remedy that can be
