" . We have the authority of the Savan cah Xeics for saying to this adulterous and adulterating age, that "tho best scientific test lor distinguishing butter from oleomargarine or snrene is to see whether it contains live cow's hair or the plastering hair use in the artificial article."

There's not a rose in life without its thorn. The Chicago Press, an independent journal, says . "The Democratic party will survive and with Butler in the field or out. jast as the whim strikes him. He will, it a candidate on a workingmens labor greenback plat lonn, draw more strength from the Republicans than from the Democrats. If In the role of a third candidate he can carry Massachusetts against the Republicans, which is doubtful, be would be an invaluable allj of the Dem ocrats."

Humpty Dumpty.- Of the Miaco Humpty Dumpty troupe, which will appear at the Opera House to-night, ; the Raleigh Visitor says: One of the largest audiences of the season greeted Miaco and his Humpty Dumpty troupe at . Tucker Hall las: night. Miaco is one of the be3t panto mime clowns on the stage, and added to his former reputation by his clever acting last night. Incidental to the play jwcre the skipping rope dance by Cornelia Carroll, W.Farre. in his ex pert hat spinning, feats ot jugglery, &o., Miss Jennie Miaco in some beautiful songs and dances; Miss Donna Stickney, in her wonderful acts on the slack telephone wire. The three SL Elmos gave some startling and wonderful acrobatic feats, they being as good iu their libe as we have ever seen. We heartily commend Afred Miaco and his Humpty Dumpty troupe to all lovers of good acting. We can. without hesitation, say tha Dr. Bull Cough Syrup - has given the best satisfaction. We have sold an Immense amount of it during the. past winter. I ' - WALLACE. HILTON & CO. Druggists. Lock Haven. Pa. Tbe IiOCturo Last Night, Hon. Simon Wolff, ot Washington, arrived in the city yesterday morning, and, in accordance with previous an? nouncement, lectured at tho Opera House last night for the benefit of the Wilmington Library Association. He was . introduced to theaudience by Mayor Hall in a speech of considerable length entirely appropriate to jthe occas ion and subject, which was f 'Egypt." It was an interesting and instructive effort, and was listened to ; with . ' pro. found attention by the audience. He spoke in an. cosy, graceful manner1 Without notes of that ancient and hisv torlo country as he bad seen it while a resident there as a representative of the United States government. He exhibited a number of relics of the country with photographs of Egypt, which may be seen at the rooms of the Library Association during his stay here. Mr. Wolff is aneloquent speak cr and we hope that LtTmay be beard again by a larger audience than greeted him last night.
