In our first experience as Financial Manager of
the Mt. Carroll Seminary, 1t devolyed upon rs to
purchase Pianos for use of the School. in WHICH
transaction we became cognlzant of the swindle,
1--WE cannot call it by a milder name1 practiced
upon the public In the sale ofinstruments. We at
once resolved to correct the wrong, so far as In
our power, and at the same time subserve our
own Interest in encouraging the study of music,
by making It comparatively easy for our pupils
and patrons to secure instruments. To this end,
We offered to furnish Pianos, etc., to our music
pupils at "cosT, tous. Thus began n trade that
has become so extensive as to embrace all classes
as our customers. extending as 1t does from New
Hampshire to California and even to Japan.
With the amount of sales made, our facilities
have increased TILL we command any make In the
country, and the very lowest trade prices. We do
not now sell at "cost," but we sell at wholesale
prices to any and all persons ever In any way con-
nected with the school, and this gives great / ar
gains y purchasers, leaving a re :sonable margin
Of profts TO us. To those newer patrons of this in
s~titution, we can give discounts from manufac-
turers' lists of 80 to so per cent. Instruments are
all sent directly from the mandatory, hence
customers can be supplied with equal facility,
East, West, North orSouth. Warrantees of five
years given on every instrument.

MINE NovGoRoD FAIR. The great
market of the eastern world has been
held at this junction of the Volga and
Olga Rivers, in Russia, every summer
for hundreds of years. Here the nations
OF Europe and Asia meet with their pro-
ducts for trade Cossack, Chinese, Turk,
and Persian meet the German and the
Greek with every variety OF merchandise
that mankind employs, from sapphires
to grindstones, tea, opium, fur, food,
tools and fabrics, and last but not least,
medicines. J.. G. Aver & Co.'S celebrat-
ed remedies from America were display
ed in an elegant Bazaar, where the Doc
tor himself might sometimes be seen.
They are known and taken on steppes
of Asia as well as the prairies of the
West, and are an effectual antidote for
the diseases that prevail in the courts
OF the North as well as the huts and cab
ms of the Western continent.

"Click, click, click,


has a feeling of sadness come over us, as
we have pictured this terrible silence of
a town lasting for aye; when the gas
lights should be extinguished; when its
busy life departed and its heart stilled;
when over it should reign, as over the
city of the dead, IN unbroken silence, a
universal stiffness. What a picture of
desolation. Talk not of the solitude of
deserts or of forests wild; man is not
alone among Gods works, for he can see
the Creator there; but in atown built by
man, inhabited and deserted by him,
nothing in similitude for solitude could
be found, and a near approach to this is
a town at night.

CoNvERsING IN AN ANIMATED TONE.
When he reached the church Balch, feel
ing convinced that he would remain until the
services were over, hurried himself to the
police headquarters. Then q telegram was
sent for a squad of policemen to repair to the
church. Bach. before their arrival, however,
sought Detective Wood, and that officer
placed his hand on the marderer's shoulder
as he came from church, and informed him
station. The squad of policemen followed a
short distance IN the rear. The authorities
here have been actively on
SEARCH AMONG THE PAwNBROKER sHOPs2
and ether places for anything that would
furnish the slightest clue to the great crime.
Balch seemed to have an intuition, when he
saw the man, that he was the murderer, aud
walked past him two or three times IN order
to satisfy himself that he was on a good trail.
The negro was then clad In differ
ent apparel from that described
by the pawnbroker to whom he pledged the
cameo set of jewelry. Cox was making sys-
tematic efforts to fee the country, and cut
for the absolutely accidental discovery OF him
on the street, would have had fair chance
of carrying out his design. There is
complete or con6dant in his crime, but
that ne committed the entire outrage
himself. When Mrs. Hull made motion as
if to rise from her bed, he threw his weight
upon her and forced her down. He is clear
and connected in the statement ne has made.
Mr.. Balch is of the staff of the Brooklyn
Herald, and was the cause of the arrest of
E. D. Winslow, who, it will be recollected,
absconded to Europe some time ago.

BYRD'S
Splendid Stock OF Diamonds, JeweIry,
Watches, silverware, aud Cut
Glass Toilet Articles.

A large lot of new goods has been received
during the past few days, embracing all the
newest designs in silverware, and some of the
most beautiful glass goods ever brought to
Mem Dhis. Vases, jewelry cases, perfume
bottles, and goods of this class, in great va
riety. The supply of watches embraces the
best of European and American makes, and
is SO extensive as to furnish something to suit
the taste of all intending to purchase. Byrd
pays particular attention to getting up med
ais and badges, and his manufacturing de-
parGment has recently turned out some work
that reflects great credit on the house and its
designer. Diamonds, ranging in price from
few dollars to a few thousand, can be found
here selling as low as in the eastern cities.
Such an attractive lot of jewelry as can now
be seen at Byrd's was never before known In
Memphis. While this establishment Is best
known on account OF its tine goods, it also
keeps supply of cheap jewelry and plated
silverware, so that the poorest or the richest
can find something to suit their condition.
Every stranger in the city should examine
Byrd's stock. It is not necessary to make
this suggestion to residents of Memphis, for
they already kno.g that Byrd's is the place to
buy watches, diamonds, jswelry, and silver
ware.

GOVERNOR MARKS visits Memphis to-day
for tho first time since his election to the
office Of chief magistrate. He will, of course,
meet with hearty reception. AS governor
of the commonwealth he is worthy of all
honor, but besides the claims he has upon
us through official position, be has others
that are purely personal and q very
high character. He was gal
liant soldier, and on the battlefield worthily
upheld the name, fame and renown of the
Volunteer State;" and in civil life. since
the war, he has been honored by the people
of his county, who know him best, with OFF,
ces rs high as they could confer. The coma
mittee OF reception will, of course, do
all they can to make him feel that
he is in the chief city of the
State, and is in the hands Of mis- friends, but
the people can do something to second their
hospitabIe efforts and crown the occasion
with an ovation worthy his high character
and their own renown, and we feel sure they
will do it.

murder of the actor, B. G. Porter, the State
announced itself ready for trial, with most of
the witnesses present, including Barrymore.
The defense presented the affidavits of FIVE
witnesses by whom it is expected to prove
that Currie was provoked to the assault in
self-defense. These witnesses being absent
Currie asked to have the case continued. In
reply to the motion for continuance the
State filed full answer, with sfiidavits of
six witnesses, including the restaurant
keeper where the killing occurred, that at
the time of the killing the only persons pres
emit were Barrymore, Porter, Miss Cummins,

strike out the counter affidavit of the State

Embarrassment OF the BOnapartists.

f'The embarrassment of the Bonapartists is
increasingly manifest. Paul de Cassagnac is
reproached with indiscreuon AZ prttIng for
ward the claims of Prince Victor Bonaparte
to the impeIial succession. In his Sunday
issue De Cassagnac admits that nothing has
been officially decided, though perhaps de-
cision may be made in few days. 1t is be-
lieyed that Rouher announced his ignorance
Of will in faTor of Prince Victor, because he
considered its validity unless Prince Jerome
Napoleon consents to waive mis- claisi.
Prince Jerome is very reticsnt since his ar
rival in Paris, aud.is apparently awaiting the
action of Rouher. 1t is not belieyed that
Prince Jerome will agree to be preteader
himself or permit his son to become one. In
che event of Prince Victor endeavoring to
temporize in rot distinctly accepting the po-
sition the Bonapartists wiji probably fall back
on Prince Charles Napoleon, president of the
0orcican council. Prince Charles is forty one
years of age. He has no son or royal con-
nexions and is much less eligible candidate

at 8634, huctuatlon of 95s per csnt. in seven
days; II, 500 shares, sold on a margin of
per cent, required an actual capital of $12.-
500. The same stock delivered at 864 gave
profit of SIS per cent. on the stock, or
