THR BELL TELEPHoNE.-Mr. James
Hamblet, agent for the Bell Telephone,
is In the city, and will remain over until
Saturday evening. MIR. Hamblet will
call on our business men and endeavOr to
show them the advantages OF this most
wonderful instrument. The telephone is
now offered to the public for private,
social or business communications. The
advantages Of private telephone lines be-
tween offices and factories, dwelling
houses and stores, or between any two or
more points, where skilled operators are
not available, have been well known tor
many years, and now that the human
voice may be transmitted many miles
and, If familiar, easily recognized. leaves
but little to be desired in the matter Of
private or domestic telegraphs. MIR.
Hamblet is stopping at the Planters
House, where he will make his head
quarters during his stay in the city, and
those who may wish to consult him with
reference to the telephone can have him
call on them Ivy leaving their address at
that house.

sworn in. County Attorney Mulksy

THE REASONS WHY
All should Buy their Groceries from
PeltlS IL Bird.

All should Buy their Groceries from
Peltls IL bird.
Below we give a number OF reasons
why people should buy their groceries
from Pettis & Bird: .-
1st.-Because their stocks is the largest,
freshest and choicest in the city.
End. because they sell goodsof every
kind cheaper than any other house in the
city.
3rd.-Because they deliver goods more
promptly and In better shape than any
other house In the city.
4th.--Because they keep the most com.
plete stock, aud persons desiring to
purchase different kinds Of goods are not
compelled to 20 elsewhere because
Messrs. p. g. B. have not got the goods
they want.
These we consider substantial reasons
why our readers should buy their goods

HsALEY's dramatically advertise

TIN it will be seen that Aealey's Hiber-

Thursday nights next. The Paduchs
Ness says Of this excellent combination :
I'VE must congratulate DR.. Healey IN
gathering around him such an array OF
talent AZ was presented to the people OF
Paducab at st. Clair hall last night. The
characters and paintings produced more
than met the expectations Of those assem-
bled. Between Bryan O'Lynn and John
Henshaw the audience was kept In roar
OF laughter by their Irish and negro
delineations. Miss Maud Davenport made
q decided hit, and her songs and dances
were repeatedly encored. Johnny
Morrisey's dancing was we'll executed.
We must not tail to mention the paints
ings, which were painted by In. Searey,
ofNew York, from photographs OF the
Emerald Isle," taken on the spot.
Taken altogether this is one OF the most
satisfactory exhibitions that we have
ever witnessed IN st. Clair hall. Let all
who wish to pass couple of hours In
Ireland attend, and:we assure them they
will not regret It,"

There is a general jubilasion in
Europe over the result of the Berlin
Congress. Lord Beaeonsfel6 carries
off the horors, and OF course all
England rises up in recognition Of
his services. Russia accepts the
situation, not because she is salts
fed, but because she does not feel
able to cope with all Europe. and al
though tue Graud Dake Nicholas,
in announcing to the Emperor the
conclusion of the treaty, forced him
self to say = g L have the honor of
congratulating Your Majesty on the
conclusion of.peace. God has grant
ed us the happiness OF concluding
the holy work begun by Your Majes-
ty, and on the anniversary of the
liberation of the Russian serfs Your
Majesty has accomplished the liber-
alton ofthe Slavonic Christians from
the Mussulman yoke; 1T is plain.
" enough to be seen that the result
for Russia is a political failure. 1t
Is true sue has the promised .indem-
nifty of 500, 100000, with Batoum,
Ezeronm, Kars. Bayazid and Arda-
ham thrown ia, but all these come
so far short of the benefits secured
by the original treaty Of San Stefa-
no, as to make the humiliation of
Russia the more conspicuously ap-
parent. Under the circumstances,
it is not. therefore, surprising to
learn that a general feeling of dis
content and indignation exists among
the better classes in Russia" The
conviction that England alone has
reaped whatever substantial benefits
have grown out Of the late struggle,
in which Russia made so many
sacrifices, and endured so many
hardships, does not augur well for
the permanent endurance of that
peace which is just now being ceIe
brated with so much enthusiasm in
England, aud elsewhere in Europe.

WAS SHE TOO BOLD?

She was so perfectly lovely, and
bewltching, and graceful, and the
most outrageous, little fiirt in town
and just now, as she stood at the
window, holding aside the lace cur.
tain with the daintiest of fair, white
hands. so that she might watch Ber-
tie Forrest down the street. there
was an imp of roguish mischief dan.
cling in each of her laughing eyes,
that were as lustrously dark as a
chestnut shell.
"What great, silly goose he is ?
AS if am not positive it is only a
severe attack Of jealousy. He al
most swore he would never speak to
me again, but ! know 1t won't be
a week before he's back-bless his
dear, silly, old self! He mustn't
imagine / never shall make myself
agreeable to anybody but himself"
And that Addie Westbrook made
herself remarkably agreeable to
every gentleman with whom she
came in contact, thereby earning the
title of coquette far and near, was
not SO much the reason Mr.. BERTHE
Forrest had quarreled with her, as
because she had, after weeks and
weeks of accepted devotion from
him. which to him meant solemn
earnest, suddenly and unacconnt-
ably shaken him off, and was flirting

He was fine-looking. pleasant

ably better of, and. as Addie could
not possible exist without series
of excitements in the flirting line, it
was easily enough seen by everyone
but the gentleman concerned why
she had let him drop, and taken up
Mr.. Tremaine.
1t had hurt BERTHE Forrest sorely,
so sorely that he had never known,

Addie gave him. that he had so mad.
