An Old.F 0shioned Visit.

Squire. Binks, a retired old gentleman,
lives away down or Seventh street, Peoria,
Illinois. The other morning three old la
dies from Macon county came to his house
on visit. They used TO know his wife be-
fore she was married. The squire welcomed
them to his mansion. and then went out to
the barn and swOre tor half an hour. While
he was soothing himself thus his wife called
him into the house She handed him an
umbrella to keep off the sun, and said the
ladies had walked up from the depot, and
left some things there for him to bring up.
So he brought them up making two round
trips for the baskets. bandboNes and two
black oilclOth travelling bags. all OF which
the squire disccurteously called 'infernal
Old traps"
AS he sat in the back kitchen wiping his
brow, his wife brou yh. ont the market bas-
ket and said there was not bit of sugar or
tea in the house, and she remarked that
while he was going down town he might as
we'll get the mclasses jug filed. The squire
asked her how long those old migratory
pelicans were going to stay. And she
asked him if he thought she would be SO
rude as to ask them. Then the squire went
down and laid in the groceries. When he
got back his wife said she had forgotten
something and thought Of it Just when it
was too late She must have some corn
starch The squire asked her if any of the
old scarecrows Lad dropped the least hint
as to the duration Of their visit. She said
not. She squire looked sad and discon-
certed
When he laid the paper Of corn starch on
the kitchen table his wife said they must
have a Goldfish for dinner. Ono of the
ladies said, IN the course OF conversation.
that she was fond Of goldfish The squire
asked il the old bUzzards had Yet commit
ted themselves On the ex;cn. OF their pres
ent roost. She said lie ou.h. to be ashamed
Of himself.
When he slapped the Goldfish down on the
table with whans, his wife got him to
bring in some water and wood. said MIS-
Spoonauger never Giued without ale. and
the squire was asked if he would go down
and bring up bottle He asked if he
shouldn't go into the rarlor and &c: those
old cormogaAta TO make OF. a list OF what
they liked. and furthermore asked if they
were silent as TO when they thought they
voud go away.
He got the ale. and for fear he would
have to trot down town again, he hired an
express wagon and loaded Il with all sorts
OF garden truck, o uuttle of whisky. a box
OF sardine;, a pep.h OF snuff. some cove
oysters, dried apples. beans. smol1ed

ness. without caring in the least about the
eject he produces. His conversations seem,
in many respects, like loud thinking; he
simply speaks out what happens, to pass
through his brain without carefully weigh
ing his words. and che nearest clear impress
sion is to him the best. When bis character
and conduct are compared with those OF
diplomat of :he old school, We comprehend
his successes. He has always said precisely
that which he meant and intended As this
was unprecedented, diplomacy naturally
believed him to mean and intend something
altogether different. While diplomacy puz'
zied its brains TO discover what that might
be, he quietly did what he had promised.
and thus surprised the whole world. For
where the lie il the rule, truth becomes the

ID. Herman & Go.

This firm still continue to take the lead in
their peculiar line Of business. They have ius
now better and larger stock of goods than eve,
before, and are offering them at such prices as to
attract much attention and cause everyone te
ask, How can they sell such splendid goods
particularly ladies' fancy articles and dress
goods, so very low" The answer is plain
They buy for cash from the very best eastern
houses, and their purchases are very large;
hence they obtain a very great reduction In
wholesale rates, and are thus enabled to sell
away below all competitors.
The stock of fancy fashionable summer wear
is simply enormous, and comprises all that is
new, neat, nobby, nice and just in the very agony
of the latest style. The dry goods and all other
lines are equally full, and goods are going of
with rush.
