strangers, is the very fashionable manner in
which many of our citizens dress. This is
due, in a great measure, TO the efforts of

out. Call and see them.

TESTIMONIALS.

Yorker.
We have hsd a Continental Washing Machine
In use for several weeks. 1t has entirely over
come the strong prejudice it encountered when
hrst placed in our laundry, and we have no hes
itation in pronouDcing the Contin en- tel, all that
1t is claimed to be. and hence one of the best ma
chimes foI saving labor that any family can OBJ
tain. The ease. rapidity and thoroughness with
which 1t does its work is surprising. Il will
save any family a vast amount of hard labor as
well as wear and tear of clothes, and in our
Judgment needs bat to be fully tested TO be ap-
proved and adopted. So wAll are we convinced
of this that we have concluded to place it in our
premium list.

MAD1eON, Juiy 1Ob1, 1OG1.
Rev. W. DoUGHERTY,
DEAR SIR: I received your letter with
newspaper containing notice of j. w. Sui.
livan's burial and comments on the same by
an anonymous correspondent. This 'stripple
star of slandering brilliancy'' doubted the
truthfulness of the facts stated, and yet, be-
daubs the Catholic Priesthood with the slime
of bigotry. ~ s
/ The notice of Sullivan's burial is entirely
false. The poor man was bad Catholic, and
belonged to the Odd Fellows One hour
previous to his death he, in the presence of
five respectable witnesses, Protestant and
Catholic, disavoWed all connection with the
order. [ then thought the man would make
his confession and accept the sacraments of
the church, but he would not. He would not
even make the sign of the cross. In fact, he
died 'impenitent," and said he knew he was
SO dying. Ding ~ w &}&-k GA
OF course he could not be buried according
to the rites of the Chu1ch, and it was option
al with his friends to bury him in the Potter s
Field or Protestant cemetery. In the former
they deposited the remains of Sullivan, and
in all human probability they would have re-
manned there, but for the fact that there was
some money coming from the Odd Fellows
TO the wife of Sullivan, and they and she dis
inferred the remains and deposited them in
the Protestant cemetery. 49, ~
Thus, you see, I did not dig up the remains
of Mr.. s., and therefore, am not body
snatcher. tA.Fr3

THE OVERLAND MONTHLY raised its meek
head among the luxuriant flowers of itera'
ture in July, 1868 The strangersexcited no
little curiosity, not that new magazine had
presumed to enter the field, but because its
birthplace was in a section whence nothing
of the kind was expected. The Pacific Coast
was not regarded as the nursery of literary
ability, nor was it deemed probable that any
approach to the conceded excellence OF exist
ing periodicals could be realized in this ex-
IRENE Of the continent, SO recently opened TO
civilization. Careful perusal disclosed the
existence of a capable, yigorous-but previ-
ously unknown corps of writer's, whose con-
tributions to the Overland conveyed much
new and valuable information ona great va
riety of topics connected with the develop
ment of the country. and imparted,in apleas-
ling manner, characteristics Of the people and
their immediate associations. It was new !;
it was fresh, independent, and unique-in no
wise trenching on the field occupied by other
ma gaines, but taking ground exclusively its
own. Y This publication has been OF llncalcu-
liable benefit to the Pacific Coast, always pre-
senting new and interesting reading matter
concerning the Far West-proftable both to

Fun ON THE RAIL.-One of the brakemen
on the Milwaukee division of the Northw est
ern railroad is a frst-class ventriloquist, and
occasionally stirs up the passengers when
they get sleepy. We happened to come up
from Chicago on Tuesday night last on the
"oWl train," and saw good deal of fun and
excitement resulting from his way of waking
up the sleepers. The brakeman took seat
near the door of the car, and in few mo-
ments man several seats away, sound
asleep, commenced singing ''Hail Columbia, .
to the intense disgust of number who were
counting the drowsy god. Finally hall
dozen angry passengers pitched upon the
sleeping vocalist, gave him thorough shak-
ing up, and requested him to keep.aWake il
he couldn't keep his mouth shut while
asleep. At this moment dog commenced
bowling under the seat occupied by sleepy
female, and several started toeput him out.
After getting the passengers fairly awakened
the Ventriloquist quietly left for the next cal
which he soon had in state of confusion
arising from the squaking Of a parrot, dog
barking, caterwauling Of cats. etc.
