Shopping in New York.

A lady who has been shop
ping in New York, says of an
establishment: In the second
story [ saw the shawl depart
ment, where they had one worth
$500. Ithad a very coarse ap-
pearance, and its value rose from
the amount of needle work
laid out upon it. Only one Of
these highest-priced shawls has
been sold this season, but Of
So, 600 style about twenty have
been taken. From these lofty
figures the salesman can come
downto a s. pattern. The first
mentioned are usally kept in
large chests, which are locked
up at night. The way these
New York ladies dress may be
judged from the fact that one
of them ran, as i was told, a bill
of $4,000 in two months. 1t
may therefore be understood that
the business done here is not
all cash, and indeed any person
who is considered "good" can
obtain a reasonable credit.

In viewing the history of Ithaca
for the last year, the Ithaca Jour-
nal says there have been but two
small failures during the past
year among the business men.
"Neither of them advertised" !"
The first not only failed to adver-
tise, but was otherwise lacking in
judicious management, and suf-
tered from speculation and un-
profitable transactions in former
years, and the latter from lack of
BUSINESS experimentation a too
eager disposition to sell his goods
at whatever offered. He did not
believe in the use of printers ink.
In fact he often boosted to his
competitors in the same business
"that he did not pay any money
to printers; he could advertise his
own business" He did "advertise"
it, and at SO dear a rate that he
cannot pay his Indebtedness. He
not only ruined himself in refus-
ing the aid of printers in advertis-
ing his goods, but he almost rnined
every other dealer in bis business.

fise ia the newspaper in the regu-
lar way.

The French People.

1t would be doing injustice to
the French people to suppose that
the violent and sanguinary repub.
licans are true representatives of
French character. We read in
one of the dispatches that the Gre
spectacle Parisians are stupefed."
In all countries the vicious elem
ents are more active and agrees
i've than the orderly and virtuous,
and this is especially true of
France. 1t was SO in the first
revolution. And when Louis
Philippe was overthrown a wan
ton spirit ofdestruction ragedround
the metropolis, which even the
National Guard and the troops
of the line could not arrest. The
Palais Royal and the Tuileries
were sacked, every railway sta
tion within a hundred miles of
Paris was burned, and the rails so
destroyed that the city was in
danger of starvation; the palace
of Rothschild was plundered of
its treasures and burnt to the
ground; hundred thousand in
surgents held the city, and men,
acingly called upon the govern
ment for bread. 1t is the social
lists and communists who give
France all the trouble. 1t was
they who raised the labor question
in lS48, and really overthrew the
French republic, for the red spec
tie really filled France with alarm,
and she threw herself for safety
into the arms of Louis Napoleon.
Twice within this century has the
violence of socialism caused the
downfall of republicanism in
France, and the establishment of
absolutism upon It's ruins. Moth
ing is more certain than that the
same result will follow a similar
experiment now. ~

What is Communism I?

The Chicago Post, in an article
en- the desperate and internecine
struggle going on in and around
Paris, thus defines Communism,
and does SO quite correctly:
The word communism" as ap-
piled to. French affairs, means a
horrid combination of evils, and is
the very. essence of diabolism.
Communism means the herding
of human beings together ike cat
tie; it means the confscatioD of
all property, that the rabble may
live. without labor it means the
abolition and prescription of all
religion it means the cutting as
under of all the social ties; in
short, it means the license and en-
couragenent of all those evils
which it has ever been the main
Object of true government to COM
bat. There is no wickedness so
remote but that it may come with
in the scope of communism, and
no technicality in the language of
crime SO recondite that it my
not be embodied in It's formula.
Heretofore communism has had a
mask of freedom. Her crimes
have been committed IN the name
of liberty. Now she meets the
enemy in the open field. She is
not fighting against kings or en-
perors, but against a free and
righteous republican government.
Her hideousness is inmasked.
When the ramparts around Paris
have been battered down. and
when the barricades in the Rue de
RivoIi have. been scattered by
grape and canister, there viii be /

and will be made in, the name OF /

qualification. They tore his
clothes nearly off, blackened his
eyes, broke a kerosene lamp over
his head, and piled a red-hot stove
on top of him. Billy was in an
ecstacy of delight, and declared
he hadn't 'tenjoyed himself SO much
