BUY RIGHT AND MONEY is ALREADY
SAVED
We buy our Goods at Auction Houses and
who has ever attended these auctions will notice
how prices fuctuate, and will mark the steady
downward tendency. sale after sale and day af.
ter day, straight through the season, affording
to real judges of good capital chances 10 under
quote the regular market by at least 20 to IS per
cent, and to sell to the public and to men to
retail at less thsu the case price at the mill.
An importer, hard up, will offer goods at cost
to raise money, but when note is due to-mor-
row and money must be had, he tumbles mis-
goods into the auction rooms where cost or no
COST they must go. We buy them at nearly our
own price.
Money is tip-top thing, but brains is the
master. We buy our goods CHEAP and our pro-
fits are already saved and made, giving us the
double advantage Of selling at prices that must
crush the opposition, who will at once start the
cry that our goods are stolen, Or that we are
about to fail, getting up reputation for US,
without the expense of advertising-so by ju-
enemy's guns upon his retreating line or put
him in harness upon double duty.
To-day wooden mill stops, tomorrow their
goods will be displayed in the auction room and
sold for half its value. Next day a Hosiery
house fails, their stock goes to the same place
and sold at an Immense sacrifice. 3d. day after
day, through dozen auction houses, these
bursted merchants and these moonshine million
aires go crushing through at prices that would
bewilder both buyer and seller only to prove
that, in this advanced age of stubborn and I'M
yielding fighting, it is your duty to make every
edge cut, and to take advantage ofevery chance
these giant engines afford.
We do not pretend, nor do we wish to lead
the public to believe, that we keep full OR reg
ular assortmentof Goods. Webuy every thing at
auction, if we can get it below its value, without
regard to getting up an assortment but what
we have got will be sold at astonishingly low
prices.
Our present stock consists principally of Gem
tlemens' Uudergarments Clothing, Cassimeres,
Cloths, Cassinets Hats and Caps, Notions, and
all kinds of Boots and Shoes, Ladies' Shawls,
large assortment Of Furs principally Misses
and Children.
Our auction sales will continue as heretofore,
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, to commence
at o clock in the evening. except at the month
ly courts, when we will have our auction sales
in the day time, and commence at 10 O'Clock in
the morning.

Mr.. j. G. Cooley, of Middle Hill
Farm, Conn. offers to dedicate his
farm comprising two hundred and nj
ty acres, to the purpose of home for
printers and editors. He will be man
ager in chief of the farm, and expects
all who live on it to work for living.
While we are not taken up with the
idea of going to work, we are glad
to know that editors, as we'll as pr'n-
tiers, come within the scope of Mr.
Cooley's philanthropic design, as we
have been looking for sometime for an
almshouse in which editors were re.
ceived. Abolish the working system,
brother Cooley, and we'll be with you.
Any fool can live by work; but it
should be said of editors and printers:
"Thcy can live without work" But
we'll let Mr.. Cooley tell the rest. He
says:
I'm not going to open a poor-housc
and send round hats for contributions:
but rather am going To provide a
field of exertion. where moderate daily
labor will enable those who come here
to maintain themselves in honest and
thorough independence, without
thanks to anybody. At least this is
what wish to do. If it should prove
generally true that the craftsmen Ia
be helped cannot dig, and will not,
why then ! don't know but the pur-
pose will have To be declared Off BY
superstition they are somewhere alive
now: if they can live where they are
withom digging. then they have fat
take already, and better let we'll alone.
1t, however, is my conviction that
there are worthy men, living prccari-
ously. who might be benefited by my
endcavor-who arc too nobly proud TO
accept charity so long as they can
help thcmselves-and who rM help
thcmselvcs-and can because they
will. if only there is fair opportuni-
ty To do S, and this is the sort | am
after.

A Girls Chances in Nevada.

We have before us a very pretty
letter from a lady in the Green Noun.
tain State, asking us to inform her
what the chances would be in Virginia
City to get a situation as teacher, or.
if possible. what encouragement an
accomplished honsekeeper would
probably receive in this city; one who
could come bringing the highest rec
concentrations as scholar and lady.
AS we are frequently in receipt of
such letters, we have concluded to an
swer this one through the Enterprise:
Miss B.: Your note is under reply.
We need not waste space in cxtolling
the good taste of your letter The
fact of your writing to this paper Is
sufficient evidence of most sound
discretion. Teachers here command
from 500 to 5000 per month in gold
coin. Board costs about $50 per
month, and lodging from SIS to SIS,
according to the caprice of the LOGGER.
Female domestics command from S35
to $40per month, with board included,
of course. Whether you can obtain a
situation as teacher or not we can.
not say. 1t would depend on many
things. In the first place, our teach
crs are probably the best in the world.
If you were to come you would have
to wait for a vacancy; and then if
you were not fine-looking you could
not pass the examination of Superin-
tepdent (who is a single man); and if
you are very beautiful, the apprehen-
sion would be that you would get
married before you learned the names
Of your pupils. We do not think a
private school would succeed, except
behind it was the capital to build fine
structures and furnish them with ap-
paratus of the modern schoolroom.
About getting employment in private
families there is but one difficulty.
The confidence of our families has
been so often abused that they are de-
moralized and have settled down to
believe that there is nothing reliable
but Chinaman, and he cannot be de-
pended upon about the time Of the
Chinese New Year. The difficulty lies
in the fact that there are more Of these
brutes here called men than there are
Of those angels called women, and the
men have . way Of coaxing which

The recently-announccda acquisition of
Saghalien by the Russian Government,
hos called attention to that island, it's
inhabitants and the reasons that induced
the Car to complete this arrangement
The whole population of the island is
$1,000 OF this number, 3, 900 are Rus
slams. By its location, Saghalien senti-
nels the mouth of tho Amoor River, and
also dominates over the sea of Okhotsk.
In exchange for this island, Russia gave
to Japan the Kurile Islands. Coal of q
good quality and in great quantities is
found in Saghnlien, and from there the
whole fleet Of Russia in the North Pa
ciic can be supplied. This is matter
OF great importance from a military
point of observation and consideration.
Besides, if the Central Asian question
becomes matter of military action, not
diplomatic negotiation, then Russia will
be In good position to operate along
the line Of the Amoor River by means of
gun-boats. They can ascend that stream
for thirty-three days. It was descended
in 1849 by the Russian Governor General
with party of Cossaoks. Atthe present
time. tho banks of this stream nre closely
watched by the Russian authorities, and
q sufficient force ID always at hand 10
take advantage Of any opening that may
occur. With Saghalien fortified and n
naval station located there, no other
power could interfere with tho move
ments of the Oar on the Amoor and tho
Chinese banks of that river. When theAe
facts are pondered, then tho trade of tho
territory between Russia and Japan can
be fully understood.
