This is from the St. Louis Democrat:


Mr.. George Jones, of the New York
Times, is not an Englishman. He is Ray
mOnd's old partner, and was one of the
original proprietOrs of the Times. He is q
native Of New York. The story about the
Englishman grows out Of the fact that Mr..
Lewis J. Jennings, managing editor Of the
Times, is an Englishman BY birth. He is
the author Of the slashing articles on the
ring that have made the Times famous as
the champion Of the people. These articles
have appeared every Representatives two
or three Of them in . day, for more than
last all opposition has been overcome.
There never was in newspaper history a
subject more fascinating than that of the
millionaire robbers of New York; and
Jennings. in the Times, has done it ample
justice. His editorials and Nast's carica-
lures have done the country an immense
service: Though one was born in England
and the other in Bavaria, they are pretty
well naturalized; and. we doubt whether
there are many persons in America who
will regard them as crushed when they are
as foreigners. = :

Saws the New York Nail:

The business men of Boston, begin to
have some apprehension that in the course
of a few years, or as soon as the railroad
extensions now in progress in Maine and
the provinces shall be completed, the city
of Boston may be called upon to divide its
Western trade with the plucky city of Port
land, which is rapidly getting into commu-
nication with the West and South by direct
roads, and the East by new channels. The
European and North American railway and
its several connections with the roads in
Northern New England and the British
provinces, together with the completion of
the Portland and Ogdensburg road, across
or rather under the White and the Green
mountains, and the opening of connection
with Ogdensburg will give Portland the
grandest possible opportunities, which, if
properly used, can hardly fail to secure it
commercial eminence among the cities of
the country.

The New York bellies are advised to cul-

in vogue now, equally unpleasant. The
first is the ''superbly Indifferent" consist

is the mildly melancholy" which gives

A Valuable Relic.

A valuable relic of antiquity has been
discovered in the grounds Of the Russian
Pilgrims' Monastery, outside the walls of
Jerusalem. 1t is monolith cut out Of a
single block, and only half complete. From
. description in the history of Flavius
Josephhs, it is believed to be column in
tended for the decoration Of the ancient
split while it was being worked, it was left
unfinished, the lower part of it remaining
in . rough, unhewn state. The monolith,
which is about thirty-nine feet in length by
six in diameter, will prove an object Of keen
interest to archaOlOgists.

Alexander Dumas, psre, died with only
one gold piece in his pocket, and some peo-
pie assert that that was borrowed. His son
is millionaire, and his daughter is married
to one Of the wealthiest landed proprietors
in France. 1t is wonder that Dumas had
any money at all about him when he died.
He was such spendthrift that he ordinarily
lived wholly on the future.

REMEMBER MOoDY's--We really think
that visitors to tho Stuts Fair will find in
the great gentlemen's furnishing house of
Colonel 8. N. Moody, corner of Royal and
Canal streets, as much to claim their atten-

bly,, in any Of the buildings at the Fair
Grounds. Colonel Moody who is NO novice
in the art Of pleasing, spent his entire time
last summer in getting up goods for his fall
stock. and now we can safely say that it
contains all that the most fastidious taste
could desire, or that the exigencies of fash.

shirts; just think-an elegant garment, six

SHIELDS BAzAR.-One of the most elegant
establishments on that busy thoroughfare,
Magazine street, near Jackson, is the bazaar
recently opened in one of DR.. Wade's new
stores, by our old and highly esteemed fell
low-citizen, Mr.. Thomas II. Shields. 1t has
been we'll named in calling it bazaar, for
the store really contains almost everything
that can be thought of-from boys top to
q billiard table, pocket knife to set of
brass instruments. And the greatest taste
has been displayed in selecting these goods.
They are all beautiful and desirable.
