and see il facts are not made sufficiently
plain, to convince you that 1t is for your own
interest, as well as the general public inter

You undoubtedly think I have an object in
Publishing this proclamation | have, and l
ask your pardon for my boldness at this time;
but you will find my motive is as much for
YOUR own iutei est as it is for mine. Can you
afford to purchase Monument, Tablet or
Grayestone, to mark the last resting place OF
your dear departed friend, from travelling
man who is not practical workman, when
YOU have plenty Of opportunities to visit
some marble shops in your vicinity Can
this travelling nuisance sell as cheap or
cheaper than u fair workman can at his own
workshop or salesroom, attending to his
work every day, without any travelling ex-
pcnses ? Can you, by small sample of
stone and pictures generally carried by those
travelling men, see how Monument, Tab
let. or Headstonc will look when completed !?
Can you afford your farm produce, goods,
or manu- features, as cheap travelling yourself
or hiring some man to travel around the
country, as you could by staying at homo
Any man who has to travel to sell his goods,
must either furnish cheaper goods, OF charge
more for them, than the man who can sell
his goods at home while attending to his
manufacture. l do not claim to be God.

pense; but, / claim you can save money,
give Yourself better satisfaction by visiting q
marble shop, where honesty is respected,
and looking over fair assortment OF Gem
etery Work, than you can in any other way:
Consult yonr own ability and feelings; and
when the time is set in your own mind that
YOU arc rea ly to purchase some naemento for
your dear departed one, l ask you to come and
examine my Stock, Work, and Prices, before
purchasing If you find after looking my
property, you can do better at some other
shop, providing you are sure Of getting the
same quality Of stock and work, then will
| consider it your duty to purchase where you
can get the best for the least money.
In conclusion will say that below give
YOU few names Of well known respectable
citizens of your surrounding for reference OF
fair dealing; these gentlemen, with many
more. which space will not allow me to pub
lish, have had my work. Hoping / have
uttered no remarks unworthy oil truth and
manliness in the above statement; also,
asking your pardon for intruding on your
time and thoughts by presenting myself be-
fore you in this way,
Iremain your humble servant.

At sixth street he ran foul Of China

man in his fright had let fall to the side

hold of the tip end Of that adOrnment
and lifted it up like a pump-handle
Beats anything 1 ever saw on The

A Baby Monkey.

A philadelphia paper gives this inter-
esting account of the monkey recently
born there: THE mother sits medlta'
lively in her cage, holding the little one
tight to her whenever she moves, and
glancing around with quick, suspicious
glances at everything and everybody.
Part of the time she will sit next to the
partition that separates her apartment
from the main cage and call leYee OF
her friends, and as to hold circle OF
admiration. One large female mandrill
will sit for hours at the partition watch
lng the little one, and, with its puaed
and purplish- black cheeks, looks as if it
were mourning in solitary widowhood
and envying the happy mother. When-
ever she can reach Little Buttercup, the
mandrill pokes its fingers through The
wires of the cage as if it were a luxury
to touch the baby even, and gives some
shriIl notes of satisfaction in dong so.
AT one time the keeper, to show the
affection of the mother for its young, and
also the communion of feeling between
the whole family, suddenly opened the
door of Rosie's apartment and reached
ir. at the same time saying, sharply,
Il am going TO take that baby The
mother, as quick as llghtniug, leaped to
her feet, grasped the little one and stood
up in the furtherest corner at her full
height. at the same time raising one
nav. as if to ward of blow. and utter
no shrill shrieks that sounded like
Help! help!
THE effect was certainly remarkable.
Before the cries were heard the whole
family were engaged in running around,
leaping from rope to rope and fighting
with each other, as they will do; but no
sooner did they hear the calls than they
all leaned to the floor Of the cage and
formed a circle around the place where
Rosie was, and stood in an attitude OF
defiance, ready to attack anything.
''What would they do if you were to
20 INTO the cage now p asked reporter
''Dos' replied the keeper; they
would tear me to pieces. Whenever
they hear that cry for help they drop all
their quarrels and form solid for attack
1t was only necessary to look at the
flashing eyes and the teeth showing TO
know that lie was about right.
The mother is young monkey, not
over sixteen years old, and the father
not over twenty three, and are remark
ably fine specimens Of their family
Except the little one that was born last
yeor. it forms about the sole representa-
tive its race born in this country Ii
is much the more perfect ofthe two, and
bids fair 10 attain its full growth.
