full results that We're to be accom-.
plished by it9 This query is sug-
gested by the fact that we have In
this city a perfectly appointed
steam coffse aud spice mill, owned
by Messrs. p. Casenave & Co.,
practical workmen, whose manu-
factures rlnk deservedly high and

cisco pricesi and yet a large num-
ber of our merchants, some of
them members of the Home Indus
try League, purchase their sup
plies at San Francisco instead of
patronizing u home institution. To
these we would say, give Messrs.
Casenave & Co. n trial, and If their
goods are not as represented, then
go to other cities; but first try the
home product.

instrumental duet violin and
piano-and Prof. Arreval0 a guitar
solo, all of which were faultless in

take pondernus piles of manuscript
to record its sayings and doings.

nave large corps of assistants.
