Excepting, indeed, q small passage way
Which is crowded with buyers, every fine

The patterns arc there that Josie has sought:
And many fine STYLES with Dolly 9 own name,
Which fashion has famed to very high fame.

And really it's said they II last one too long;
Re that as it may, Id advise you to try
Some Of their stock. whenever you buy.
Of groceries, too. they have full line,
Assortment complete, and stock very fne
Their sugars, indeed, are so nice and so light
That many prefer the brown to the white
Their prices I'm told are down several feet
Below all others with whom they compete.

The Sale Of Arms.

II it should prove on investigation
that during the late war between Ger
many and France, our government sold
arms which found their way into the
hands of one, or both the belligerents,
the fact may have an ugly effect on our
Alabama negotiations at Geneva. Our
claim for damages against the British
government on account of the Alabama,
is not that the British government built
that vessel for the Coniederates, but that
il failed to exercise sufficient vigilance
in preventing her from escaping from its
ports and being delivered into the hands
of the Confederates. We insist that the
British government had reason to Gis.
pcct that the Alabama was intended for
tho Confederatcs and that il ought to
have prevented her from escaping from
its ports; and that because it failed in
this drty, it 10 bound to us for the dana
ges which the vessel inflicted upon our
shipping. The same point, may, posi-
bly,, be involved in the case covered by
Mr. Summers resolution. Our govern
ment sold three hundred and fifty thous.
and stand Of arms and fifty batteries OF
artilery-going so far in its spirit OF &C
commodation as to manufacture o sup
| ply of cartridges to 60 with the arms. OF
course our government did not sell these
arms directly to the French government
nor even, perhaps, did it knowingly sell
them to an agent of the French govern
ment to be used against power that We
were friendly with but the arms certain
ly did go directly to France, and were
used in the manner indicated 1t has
been intimated that some Of them went
to Germany and were used against the
French but this does not excuse the in
fractions of International law in the eyes
of the English; it only proves that we
are guilty of two infractions of that law
instead Of one. Our dispute at Geneva
is not with Germany, but with England
and il the crown advocates shall prove
that in selling our surplus arms we failed
to exercise due vigilance to prevent them
from falling into the hands Of either OF
the belligcrents, will not the fact blunt
the point of our Alabama claims? II
will hardly be sufficient for our govern.
ment to plead that it did not know who
were buying the arms, and did not know
that they would go to France; it 10 our
business to know these very things.
There was war raging in Europe at the
time, and any demand for large sup.
ply of arms was enough to excite suspi.
clon and suggest caution. AS Mr.. Schurz
remarked, "when man applied for City
thousand muskets and ten batteries OF
artillery, the presumption was that he
did not want them to scare blackbirds. "
The German empire has not, we be.
lieve, made any complaint on account OF
our sale of arms to France; and it is
not probable that it ever will but may
not the British government use the case
against us in the Alabama difficulty p

er time, he felt confident that he would
obtain favorable judgment lie ac-
cordng went home, got out his silver
half dollars and handed them to Jack,
instructed him how to act, and then an.
nounced himself ready for trial.
The testimony was clear and positive,
and not doubt OF the guilt of the pris-
oner existed in the minds of any one in
! the court room.
The young counsel, after the testimo.
ny had been closed, rose and made a
rousing speech, dwelling particularly up
on the dangers of the sea and the hard
ships of those who followed it for live
lihood ands closed with a peroration
somewhat as follows:
+" The prisoner at the bar belongs to
this noble class Of men who go down to
sea in great ships he is Injured to the
hardships Of the sea, and, like oil true
sailors, likes to enjoy his leisure when
on shore. Now ! venture to say that he
can show the fruits of many n days toll
before the mast, and there is not q court
in the land that will send a man to Jail for
enjoying his ocum and digatator.
While the counsel was wiping the per.
spiration from his brow, his Honor lean
ed forward and asked:
Jack, have you any means of sup
port?"
as these ere visible means Of sup
port Z" replied Jack, as he pulled from
his pocket the coin handed him by his
attorney.
The court and spectators gazed in won
der at the money for a moment or two,
and then his Honor said:
Gentlemen, we have made a serious
mistake in arresting this honorable man !;
why, he is a capitalist and venture the
assertion there is not another man in Or.
cgon City that can show as much mon
ey." And to the prisoner: ~ hope
YOU will excuse us for the trouble we
have put you to. You are discharged
from custody"
The crowd gathered around the attor
ney and congratulated him on his bril-
liant speech, and the success that had at
tended it, and be, feeling pretty good
over the result, asked them all over to
the store to take drink of cider. They
all went, and half an hour was spent IN
drinking and laughing, and then the
young lawyer thought he had better
look after his client. On inquiry he was
informed that as soon az the trial was
over the sailor had mounted his horse
and rode away.

One to the Long Ago.
On both the banks are roses.
On both the san is east,

Flows ever to the past.
Upon this ebbing river,

Some to the Future sailing,
Some to the long ago.

Relics we dearly prize,
Brought from those dists-t islands,
Bound by youth'ssunny skios.

Makes every cloud look golden.

Passing the friends of old.

Strange that the gold must vanish
Out Of the sunny hair.
Strange that the wrinkles tramplo

One Wife at the Varieties.

Of Miss Charlotte Thompson, in the play
of Zone Wife" which is shortly to be pro
duced at the Varieties Theatre, the St.
Louis Republican says:
The play has several exceedingly effec
tive situations, and shows much igenuity in
novel, and dealing as it does with everyday
society matters, the greater merit is due to
its artistic working up, for it really cuImi-
mates in grand climax of interest. The
part Of Mrs. Van Dyke-Miss Thompson's-
is one peculiarly fitted for the style of the
actress It affords her wide scope from
light comedy scenes to passages of deep
tragic interest. She bears herself we'll in
all, and meets with the most spontaneous
marks Of appreciation at the hands Of the
audience.
