merchants ask reasonable price give articles Of
oeent medium quality and make according to price

with light hearts conscious OF having given full value
and certain of the return of the purchaser whenever
he needs goods in their limo. Suoh merchants win

Bulls NOtIrish.

A bull in a china shop is scarcely
more out of place than a bull in a
serious poem, but accidents will
happen to the most regular of
writer's. Thus, Milton's pen slip
ped when he wrote
The sea girt isles
That like to rich and various gems inlay
The unadOrned bosom of the deep;
quotation reminding us that the
fayorite citation,
Beauty when .unadorned, adorned the most
is but a splendid bull, beautiful for
its boldness. Thomson was an
adept at making pretty bulls. Here
is another:
He saw her charming. but he saw not half
The charms her dOwncast modesty concealed; /;
as if it were possible to see some
Of them, although they were con-
cealed. Pope, correct Pope, ac-
tually tells us:
Young Mars in his boundless mind,
A work t outlast immortal Rome designed.
The author of the spanish Rogue"
makes q "silent noise" invade the
ear of his hero. General Taylor
immortalized himself by perpetrat-
ing one of the grandest bulls on
record, in which he attained what
a certain literary professor calls ''a
perfection hardly to be surpassed. "
In his Presidential address he an
nounced to the American Congress
that the United States were at
peace with all the world and con-
tinued to cherish relations Of amity
with the rest of mankind. Much
simpler was the blunder Of an Eng
lish officer during the Indian
mutiny, who informed the public,
through the Times. that, thanks to
the prompt measures of Colonel
Edwards, the Sepoys at Fort Madi-
son "were all unarmed and taken
aback, and, being called upon, laid
down their arms" There was
nothing very astonishing in an
Irish newspaper stating that Robe
spierre cleft no children behind,
except a brother, who was killed al
the same times" but it was startling
to have an English journal assure
us that Her Majesty Queen Victorii
was "the last person to wear an
other mans crown"

The following is one of the many
anecdotes of the late Madame
George Sand from the Paris press:
A visitor, one Mr.. Bakor, had pass
ed a week at her house, and during
his stay had insisted on having cab
bage cooked in nearly every dish
placed on the table. Being about
to leave he begged that he should
not be suffered to depart without a
souvenir of the visit. Madame
Sand looked at him with surprise;
then inspired with wicked idea,
called the gardener, HBaptisteP
The gardener fastened to her.
"With pleasure" she said to Mr..
Bakor; then added to the gardener,
"Baptiste, one Of your finest cab
bages for this gentleman"

AS he began the word he leaned
forward and bent his weight upon
the gate, and with a sharp click a
little trap-door in the side Of the

the end of it, flew out and, with the

his mouth to stifle a smile. Pretty
soon he knew the voice of his
daughter Azalea at the gate, saying
good night. But a rich manly
voice detained her, and the meas

The Adventures of a Polish Count.

Aho huNSAtuAOS VI - OAA0A ~ONN'
Buffalo Courier.l
One of the most frequent habi-
tues of Fifth avenue is an old Polish
Count who has taken his daily
stroll there for over twenty years.
His story is as strange as any that
the novelists invent. Twenty-eight
years ago he was cast into prison
for taking part in the Polish inSur-
rection. He was betrothed to a
young woman, and she visited him
frequently in prison and cheered
him with hopes of speedy release.
Finally she proposed a measure
that would insure his freedom.
Money would be necessary, a great
deal Of it. He possessed consider
able wealth, but owing to his situa-
ton could not command it. She
suggested that if it were in her
hands she could use it to get him
out of prison. They would then
leave the country together, marry
and be happy. His faith in her
devotion was strong. The prop
erty that was his became hers.
Her influential friends were at
work, she said, and he would be re-
leased very soon. One day her
usual visit was not made. Another
day passed, and another, and she
did not come. A week passed, and
the lonely prisoner then learned
that he had been deceived
His beautiful intended bride
had turned his property into
cash, and eloped with a man whom
he had always regarded as a friend.
A year afterward his prison doors
opened and he walked forth to free
dom. A few brief inquiries satisfied
him that the woman and hei
accomplices had made their way
across the ocean. He deter
mined to follow them, and came
to New York. 1t was months
before he got any trace of them
He then learned that they had gone
westward, and he went to st. LouiI
in pursuit. They had gone to New
Orleans; he followed them. Fo
over year he continued the chase
visiting in turn almost every cit.
in the United States, but neve
| overtaEing them. At last he re
) turned to New York, and in les
4 than a week he met them face t
| face in Broadway. He upbraide,
