Adams wasn't re elected to the Leg

the apothecary store of faithful
adherent, just before election, the
latter, in the freedom of political
friendship, suggested that some Of
the towsmcn objected to the free
ways Of their candidate in cunning,
fishing, yachting, etc, on Sunday.
"Pcrhaps you share their objection,
Docior?" bluntly asked the young
statesman, who had counted the
improbability Of "cver occupying
any considerable public Office" as
his letter to Mrs. Stone indicated.
"Why, yes, / think do, some
what" said the liberal dispenser Of
pills and potions. "Then they can

their lives had been trying TO avoid),

answered the scion of a great house.

they offer at the lowest possible living
prices.
Selling exclusively for CASH, they are
not Obliged as others are, in fixing prices
to add certain per cent. for interest on
the money which must lie idle, and for
losses BY bad debts, consequently they
are confident that their prices, the stock
through, will average from ten to fifteen
per cent. less than can be afforded by
those who pursue the credit system. No
pains win be spared by them to procure
the best quality of goods, and to keep on
hand at all times complete assortment.
Their Teas in quality are unsurpassed,
and are offered as low as it is possible to
sell good article.
A full line of Sugars at bottom prices.
Coffees warranted to suit both in quality
and price.
In Syrups, Tobaccos, Table Cutlery,
Crockery, Glass Ware, and in short,
throughout the entire stock, they are sat-

Thrilling Incident.

The New York Herald records
the following painfully thrilling
scene which was enacted in one of
the Catholic churches of that city
a few Sundays since:
During the o'clock service at
the church of St. John the Evangel-
ist, scene took place that struck
terror into the heart of every moth
cr present. Father Nc Mahon, while
earnestly addressing his congrega-
ticn, was interrupted by one of his
assistants handing him note
On perusing it he remarked: "If
there is lady present by the name
of Curtis she will please follow me
to the clergy-room," adding "that
something had occurred at her
home since she had left it one hour
ago." There was general still
ness throughout the assembly, and
presently lady arose and made
her way toward the front of the
church, the priest following her out.
He shortly returned, however, say
ing the lady who responded to the
summons was the wrong person.
1t was some other Mrs. Curtis
whose attention he desired to at
tract, but as no one moved he con-
tinued that the child of the woman
whose attention he desired to at
tract was burned to death since she
left it that morning. An exclama-
ton and a woman's shrek of agony
succeeded the announcement, and
the poor mother was led through
the crowd. A nameless fear had
kept her from obeying the first sum-
mons.

out Of economy-s'but nobody came
forward who could claim or identi-
fy it; SO Mark said findings was
keepings,' and gave it to me, and l
bought the horse and cutter with it;
and that's the way we came to be
so fine."
"It's ours!" cried Mrs. Mousely
Historically; and then she told the
tale of her bargain with Jethro
TAFT.
Rachel looked rather discomfort
ed.
"Well," she hcsitated, ~ suppose
it wouldn't be right to keep it, un-
der all the circumstances. So if
you'll give me back what paid the
peddler, and the advertising
money"
So Mrs. Mouse]y bought back her
feather pillows in the shape of .
horse End cutter. Elan said "that
was better than nothing" Mark
Dorrance, who had a sturdy origi-
nality of his own, said sit served
Elam's wife right, for trying to
cheat man who was a bigger
rascal than she knew how to be" I"
Mrs. Mousely declared "she would
never have ANYTHING to do with a
peddler again." and Rachel invest
ed her sister-in-law's ransom money
in pair of gorgeous square pill
lows, and was the best suited of
the party.
And Jcthro TAFT, congratulating
himself on how skillfully he had
got "them moth-eaten old pillars"
off his hands, took particularly
good care to avoid for the future
the route that led past the house of
Mark Dorrance.
