Shearer, and patrons are insured q
press against which no shadow oi
claim can be brought in lltlgauon,
thereby guaranteeing TO them indis-

their spirit Of accommodation Ill us,

Shearer & Baum TO the consideration
Of all parties needing cotton presses.
Thelafge number Of Shearer presses In

The many orders now on hand, indi-
cate their great popularity. The price
is remarkably reasonable, being put
down to one hundred and fifty dollars,
and the press can be delivered on

ton, we have no hesitation in saying
thatit Is the best press now in use,
and will pack q bale Of cotton and

to become civilized. Sitting Bulls aim is to
remain a savage. He despises civilization.

EPISCOPAL SOCIAL.

On next Tuesday night at the Ormsby
House the ladies OF the Episcopal (St. Peters,
Church will hold q social party. This is an
innovation in two directions: It IS the first
Episcopal Social at the Ormsby; and it is the
first Ormsby House Church party. Now, in
England, there are two parties the church
and the anti-church party. One is for one
side of the church question, and the other is
for the other. Such places as the Hormsberry
'Ouse are neutral grounds. Even the unre-
generate can meet there and not be prosecuted
for the crime of nonconformity. Lemonade,
oh such lemonade, with the gentle lime
floating in bisccted acidulosity upon the sur
face of the occasion; the blushing strawberry
sustaining the opulencenco of its rare fruitage
against the edge Of the delicate and fragile
glass; the saccharine particles dissolved in
nebulous unobtrusiveness of globulesent mod
esty between the more apparent opaqUeness
of the efluent mixture, serene but conscious
of their usefulness and preaching in a mild,
self-doubting way, the passive virtues Of that
temperance which finds expression in pumps,
and perversion in dropsy; oh ! what rhap-
sody might thus be perpetually evolved. And
then the golden custard-heavy with the
spices of the Orient, redolent Of
The musty Isar Of Mosul
AS to ice cream, the tongue becomes frozen
of utterrance at the thought of its possible
relation to this gathering of its own best and
most critical absorbents. It will be free
thing: Free to come and free to go; free to
take the air and free to sit by the stove; free
to sip the prevalent nectar and free to dwin-
die back into the inglorious lapses of an awk
ward somnolency free to vanish and free to
sustain the more important roll of the mascu-
line or feminine substantials. It is well to
bear in mind when this will take place, and
where: 1t is at the Orlnsby House, on next
Tuesday night, under the auspices of the
femininity of st. Peters 1t will be superb!
