Cheap Dry Goods.

,nyeysoll & Co. of St Paul, one Of the old
est and wealthest firms III the State, still
continue to do an immense business IN dry
GODS Their policy is to buy for cash IN
New York. Boston Philadelphia and the other
~rcai markets of the east, taking advantage OF
The depressed condition of the market, and
xeI for cash to their customers IN Minnesota
In this way they are able to place dry goods
within reach of the people of this State at a
very small percentage higher price than SIM
liar goods could be bought for in the east
And they supplement this, great advantage
by ar "order business" winch brings the
cheap goods within the reach OF the farmers
Of the State, and of those living upon the
remote frontier. This system Is as 1oiio"S:
The person desiring to purchase sends a
postal card. addressed to ''D. w. Ingersoll u
Go. ST. Paul" containing request to send
them samples of the kind of goods therein
referred TO. Messrs ID. w. Ingersoll " Go. by.
return mail send him small package OF
samples, each marked with its price Inc
purchaser then compares the fabric ana the
price with the goods in his local storest and II
he finds, as we think he will, that the goods
eTeredby Messrs Ingersoll Il Co. are much
better and cheaper, he encloses the sample
which he selects, with money postal order
or certified check, Tor money package sent
hy EXPRESS or in a registered letter. Tor the
amount of his proposed purchase. II he does
NOT receive goods to correspond with the sam
ple sent, Messrs Ingersoll Il Co. will take
them hack and correc. the error or return th'
money. =,
We would suggest to our readers to try tn
experiment. Take q postal card and sen'
Tor samples and then judge for yourselvc
whether it will pay you to make an order.

A WONDERFUL TREE.-Mr. Morgan,
an English Consul resident in Brazil,
cites, in q recent report to his govern
ment, the cardouba tree, a species of
palm (capernicia cerUera), as one of the
most valuable vegetables Of the country.
1t f1Ourishes without culture at Bahia
Rio Grand del Norte, and other well
known localities, resists drought, and al.
ways appears green and luxuriant. Its
roots possess properties similar to those
of the sarsaparilla. The trunk furnishes
superior fibre. When the tree is young
it yields wine, vinegar, a saccharine mat
ter, and species of gum closely re-
sembling sage. Its wood is excellently
suited for the manufacture Of musical
instruments, and for tubes and conduits
for water. The pulp of the fruit is very
palatable, and the only nut roasted and
pulverized is good substitute for coffee.
The trunk also yields -four similar to
maizena,. With the straw, hats, brooms
and baskets are made, and over half ii
million dollars worth of it is exported to
England yearly. Lastly, "a wax, used in
the manufacture of candles, is extracted
from the leaves.

The Soldier and his Whiskers.

A French military paper, commenting
on circular recently issued by the Min
lister Of War, containing instructions con-
corning the amount of hair which the
French soldier may allow to grow upon
his face, pleads for permission for every
man in the army to wear full beard
and whiskers. The existing regulations,
which, however, do not appear to be very
rigidly adhered to in certain points, are
very precise. The beard is not to be
grown at all; but an imperial is allowed
on the lower lip, provided it does not
exceed four centimetres in breadth and
six in length. The mustache is to grow
along the whole length of the upper lip,
and is not to be waxed or pOmatumed 10
any way. Whiskers are not to extend
more than ten millimetres below the
lower part Of the ear, and are not to be
allowed to join the musiache. As 4 mat
