AN ODE TO THE PUBLIC.

To the Public in general: I would call your attention
To fact which think is well worthy of mention,
lis that j. HI FITZGERALD whose height
of ambition
Is, by very low prices to defy competition,
A splendid assortment of goods now offers
Whose merits will conquer the whole tribe of scoffers.
First on the lis arc undergarments for ladies';
For men and for boys too and also for babies
But 1t won't do for one to stop and dilate
On the excellent qualities, finish and make
OF each and every particular thing,
SO l to the Hosiery your attention will bring.
Ribbed Cotton and Wooden, Striped, Fancy and Plain
Fit tor all seasons sunshine or rain,
An extensive variety for children and men,
Aswen as for misses and ladies, and then
Such nice lot of Glsves to suit every age,
From the hand of an infant to that of sage
Kid Gloves and cloth, of differen$1devices
Will be readily sold at most reasonable prices.
Hoop Skirts and Corsets, Eastics and Bustles,
The latter desirable, though not made of muscles
Clouds, Jackets and Caters in motley array
Are laid quickly before you with but little delay
Handkorchiefs, plain and embroidered, hem-stitched
and embeished
With pictures Which by children are very much rel
ished,
Silk Ties of all shades, also Aprons and Tiers
For such things there should be great many buyers
Perfumery, Jewelry, Brushes and Soaps
Pins, Needles, Spool Cotton and Buttons for coats
These goods are all perfect and are really no higher
Than iftheyd been damaged in the great Boston fire
And this little fact will you please bear in mind
What excellent bargains you surely will find
At III. FHTZGERALD'S, if you'll give him
call,
Whose store is just opposite the New City Hall.

We wonder, now, if an intelligent jury will
acquit Robert Bleakley? Robert had neice
living a life ofshame in house of i'll repute
in New York. Being good man himself,
he naturally wished his neice to be good
woman. He determined that she should re-
form, whether willing or not. so, being
''com non sense, practical man, he made
her a visit prepared with sound arguments
wherein The advantages OF innocence and
virtue were conclusively proved, and, in an
ticipation of the possible failure of the argu-
ments, with pocket pistol. The arguments
did fail signally. and Robert promptly used
his pistol. So promptly and so effectually
that before any of her associates could reach
her, Maud Merrill was dead. One more I'M
fortunate had gone to deaths. mystery with
out the preliminary anguish OF the bridge OF
signs. The murderer claims, it is true, that
he thought he saw his victim move her hand
toward her pocket, as if to draw pistol,
but there is nothing to show that she medi-
tated any harm toward the loving uncle who
deliberately fired three times at her before
accomplishing his purpose, and then stalked
majesticay down stairs. No doubt
the public will think that Bleakey
carried his reformatory zeal too far. Peter

preacher, used in the ca ier and more vigor-
Gus days of his ministrations, to claim that
he had occasionally to ''pummel the grace of

a revolver, no matter how hopelessly given
over to hardness of heart and a reprobate
mind the wicked person might be. There
are records, we believe, of early Spanish cons
querors who made sure of the souls of the
heather whom they subjugated by first bap-
tizing them against their will and
then incontinently drowning or burn
ing them, before Satan could reclaim
them But poor Maud had not even
these preliminary precautions between her
and her fate. Robert Bleakley-it wouldn't
be at all wonderful if he turned out to be

out the formality of consulting other gentle
men or going through any of the conven-
tional legal proceedings, that she deserved
death, and he was SO good as to undertake
the duty OF becoming her executioner. What

neices What superb foundation for NOR

and whose indulgent but pious uncle felt con-
strained to shoot her tenderly through the

But to return to the original inquiry
what will jury say to this shortcut reform
er who says: "Reform! No? - one, two,
three-bang;;' He will probably be acquit-
ted. There are already SO many precedents
to the effect that any man may kill any wo-
man on any pretsxt whatever, woman hav-
ing like franchise in return, that the princi-
pie already has all the force Of constitutional
law. The precedents being particularly
numerous as to the legality of the popular

LIFE INSURANCE CAsE.-A case has recently
been decided in the United States District
Court in Boston in favor of Thomas Ranaey,
administrator, against the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of New Jersey, which is a pc
cular one. One j. f. G. Baxter, who was an
agent of the company for soliciting policies,
died, and the company which had two policies
on his life, refused to pay on the ground that
he was an Incorporate man. If they knew
Ghs when they insured him, and they certainly
ought to have known the habits of their own
agent, they took his premium, knowing the
risk they assumed. The jury found for plain
tiff for $7S7S.50, and ON the special issue that
did not die from the Incorporate use of intoxi-
catins liquors.
