The New York markets undoubtedly
afford better variety of goods of any
kind or character required, than any
other in the world. Strictly cosmopoli-
tan, New York city leads the world in
this respect. Parties ordering direct
from New York have been disappointed
by want of attention and accuracy on
the part of those receiving the orders.
This is now entirely overcome by the
establishment under the auspices of
some of New York's most prominent men,
of Purchasing Bureau whose duty it
is to receive orders and place them
where they can be filled to best advant-
age. In order to secure best market
rates cash must accompany the order OIL
goods sent G. o. d. Address the New
York Purchasing Bureau, 7O4 Broadway
New York. Dealers and jobbers as well
as consumers will serve their own inter.
est by remembering the address. Send

The Jeueis-A Rabblnital Tradition.

The celebrated teacher Rabbi Meir,
sat during the whole of one Sabbath day
in the public school, instructing the
people. During his absence from the
house his two sons died, both of them of
uncommon beauty, and enlightened in
the law. His wife bore them to her bed
chamber, laid them upon the marriage
bed, and spread white covering over
their bodies. In the, evening, the Rabbi
Meir came home.
"Where are my two sons" he asked,
that may give them my blessingY L
repeatedly walked round the school, and
1 did not see them there"
She reached him a'goblet. He praised
the Lord at the going out of the Sabbath,
drank, and again asked:
Where are my sons, that they, too,
may drink of the cup of blessingP"
"They will not be far off," she said,
and placed food before him that he
might eat.
He was in gladstone and genial
the meal, she thus addressed him:
Rabbi, with thy permission 1 would
fain propose to thee one question"
"Aslk it, then, my love-" he replied.
"a few days ago person intrusted
some jewels to my custody, and now he
demands them again; should I give
them back Z"
"This is q question:" said Rabbi Meir,
(which my wife should not have thought
it necessary to ask. What wouldst
thou hesitate, or be reluctant to restore
to every one his own?"
| "No," she replied; "but yet thought
it best not to restore them without ac-
quainting you Herewith"
stepping to the bed, took the white Gov
ering from the dead bodies.
"Ah, my sons, my sonsl' thus loudly
lamented the father; "my sons the
light of my eyes, and the light of my
understanding was your father, but
ye were my teachers in the law"
The mother turned away, and wep
bitterly. At length she took her hus
band by the hand, and said:
"Rabbi, didst thou not teach me tha

Knocked About in the World.

1t is good thing for young man to
be knocked about in the world" though
his soft-hearted parents may not think
so. All youths, or if not all, certainly
nineteen-twentieths of the sum total,
enter life with a surplusage of self-con-
ceit. If, iii measuring themselves with
wiser and older men than they are, they
discover that it is unwarranted, and get
rid of it gracefully, Of their own accord,
we'll and good if not, it is desirable, for
their own sakes, that it be knocked out
of them.
A boy who is sent to large school
soon finds his level. His will may have
been paramount at home; but school
boys are democratic in their ideas, and,
if arrogant, are sure to be thrashed into
Il recognition of the golden rule. The
world is great public school, and it
soon teaches new pupil his proper place.
If he has the attributes that belong to a
leader, he will be installed in the posi-
tion of leader if not, whatever his own
opinion of his abilities may be- he will
be compelled to fall in with the rank
and file. If not destined to greatness,
the next best thing to which he can as
pire is respectability; but no man can
either be truly great or respectable, who
is vain, pompous, and overbearing.
BY the time the novice has found his
legitimate social position, be the same
high or low, the probability is that the dis
agreeable traits of his character will be
softened down or worn away. Most
likely the process of abrasion will be
rough, perhaps very rough but when
it is all over, and he begins to see him
self as others see him, and not reflected
in the mirror of self-conceit, he will be
thankful that he has run the gauntlet
and arrived, though by rough road, at
self-knowledge. Upon the whole, what
ever loving mothers may think to the
contrary, it is a good thing for youths
to be knocked about in the werld-it
makes men of them,

CxrxtxY BARsEcrK.-The Greeleys Of Rich-
arason County, Nebraska, recently got mp grand
barbacue-or what they intended % sneh. lip
ton, the slashing porrupinc, was to bo tnere' and
they wsre going to roast twelve oxen' and to
have a grand old time geDcrnlly. Preparations
were 10 be made for five Thousand people.
Well, the day came, and the twelve oxen dwin-
died to one calf and several small Pigs. There
were about fonr hundred men, women and chill
dreu present, who licked up the grub, and didn't
get q taste. One who was present, told rs that
every man In the crowd appeared to have two
bottles in his pocket, and they had glorious
drunk. The principal speaker, beside Upton,
was an old soap-stick who has been imported inta
the County by tho Greelys, to work for them du.
ring the campaign, for which service they pas
him $500, and for which the Grant men ought to
pay him as much mora, for the service he is doing
their cause. Every few minutes, some one in the
crowd would pass up his bottle for the old fellow
to refresh himself, an recruit his inspiration.
Subsequently,, this great Greeley orator spoke
at Falls City. After the speech, he went to "a.
loon, got beasay drunk, tumbled down ON tn,
floor, and became in that state of Gresleyism that
calls loudly for the of water and disinfrctants
He was such disgusting spectacle, that the "a
loon keeper rolled him out of the back door, where
the dogs went to licking him, as they did Laza
rus, and almost tore his clothes off of him.

The ..GreeIey WhiriwinA."

The yhirlwind that was rushing over the cOuu-
try in favor Greeley, following upou the heels OF
the Baltimore Convention, has lulled sufficiently
TO admit of an estimate being made Of the damage
done. When the Baltimore transfer was effected
the hungry fellows who were willing to do any.
thing to beat Grant, raised such hnllabaloo that
nothing else could be heard. The impression
was sought to be created that the Democracy
were unanimously aud enthusiastically for Gree.
ley. Those who were not for him kept still, oI
could not be heard in the confusion. Now they
are beginning to speak for themselves, and we See
to what extent the Democratic party refuses to
be sold ont.
The Louisville movement, to nominate a
straight Democratic ticket, gives promise of more
strength than We had anticipated. All over the
country, Democratic meetings are being held
which are largely attended,, for the purpose Of ap
pointing Delegates to Louisville. That move
ment alone would be sufficient to take enough
votes from Greeley to insure his defeat, even il
there were any danger of his election. And if q
straight ticket is nominated, very many Demo
Gratis who had been whipped in, or had reluctant.
ly drfted into the support of Greeley because the
bulk of the party had done So and they had no.
But there are thousands and thousands of Dem
ocrats, all over the country, who know there is
no hope of electing Democrat, and who regard
the election of Greeley the worst evil that
could befall the country, who have made up their
minds not to vote the proposed ticket merely for
the glory of it, but will support Grant outright.
In every State, they are coming out by tens,
scores, and hundreds. Lifelong, leading Demo-
Gratis are boldly taking this stand; and in many
places, large Grant Clubs are being formed. conf
posed almost entirely of Democrats. There is no
longer the shadow of doubt that very many
more Democrats will support Grant, than Repub-
licans will support Greeley. In fact, the number
of the latter is diminishing every day, and repent
ent Republicans are returning to the fold. Col
umns of a newspaper could be filed with the
names of Democrats who are openly taking their
stand for Grant and they confined to no State
or locality.
At this stage of the canvass, it looks as if Gree
ley would not carry single State. A few States
nay be close; but there is .now good reason for
the belief, growing daily stronger, that Grant will
receive every Electoral vote for President-not
excepting Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, Missou-
ri, or New York. He most assuredly will, if Gree
lcys whippers-in are not more successful in unit
ing the Democracy upon him than they have hith
erto been, and the widespread and growing de-
fection is not checked. There seems to be no
prospect of their doing this, and the Republican
outlook is cheering in the highest degree.
