OAK HALL. PHILADELPHIA.
WOr1b
kn01Otng.


There IS a place in Phila-
delphia where a stranger
may buy his clothes, and
fare as we'll "a if he knew
the whole city by heart; and
if he knows nothing about
the value Of cloths, or of
clothes, he IS as well of, as
if he were a good judge OF
both.
The reason is that every
thing TO be found there is
made there-made and sold
under a system which rarely
allows mistakes to occur, and
which corrects them, if they
do occur.
OAK Hall is the place;
and its practice may be
summed up in a few words.
If you get there what you
don't want to keep at the
price, you return it, and get
your money back.
This means a great deal
more than appears on the
surface. It means that YOU
are not going to get what
YOU will not want to keep at
the price, If the merchantc can
help it. 1t means that the
clothes you get there viii be
Of honest cloths, honestly
made; and that they viii
cost you less than as good
clothes can be got for else
where. 1t means that they
Will be every way better
worth your money than YOU
can get elsewhere for the
same money.
If it means anything less
than these things-ifitmeans
poor cloths, trimmings, cut
ting, sewing, or in any way
dishonest or illiberal dealing;
the return Of his goods will
plague the merchant injure
his credit, and dissipate his
trade.
If it means these things
if it means liberal and honor
able dealing, valuable and
uusty clothing, ease and
safety in getting It, OAK HALL
IS the place for you to go to,
or to send to; andit IS worth
vour while to know how you
can send, if 1t is incOnvcnient
to go.
Write; say what your
occupation Is say what
sort Of use you intend to
make of the clothes you
want, whether for everyday
wear or otherwise what
color you prefer, or what
color to avoid; say about
what you want to pay; say
everything that you think
may aid a stranger in
choosing for you. You
will get in reply samples
of cloths and prices Of what
ever YOU want made from
those cloths. You will get
also the means of having
your measure taken by an
unskilful person.
There IS only one diff
Guilty left. Somebody has
got to take the risks Of the
dealing; for there are risks.
Send your money along
with your order. That
covers til" risk as TO your
good faith. We risk every
thing else; the fit, and
your satisfaction every way.
Our trade by mail
amounts to half a million
dollars a year; there's no
reason why it shouldn't
amount to FIVE millions.

THE most discOuraeing feature for Repub-
HcaHs IN the policy which the present Gov
ernmcnt Of France is pursuing towards the
Church IS the abSurdlty of that policy. 1t is
impossible to imagine anything at once more
lUdicrCDs and more disgusting than a crusade
against priests and women in the name of civ
u and religious freedom. The scaRdalOuS
attempt Of Henri RcchefoTt to backen the
reputation of one Of the most distinguished
OF living French soldiers will be treasured
up in the public opinion Of Europe against
republican France should the complications
of European politics afford the great German
Chancellor another opportunity of letting
loose the trained and IHagnigCent armies OF
the empire upon his weaker neiEhbor. And

feel with sO-called republican Government

Hotel Life in the Alps.

The sense of freedom from restraint
is one Of the things which most pleases
.h2 city aiaa when ne gets into swift
Zerland. OF course he will find re-.
straints enough if he gets into hotel
filled with solemn ronderous English
who have brought London and Scar
boro' into the mountains with them,
and who cannot be happy until they
have read the Times every morning; or
il he falls upon an auberge crammed
with lean but ponderous Germans from
the North, Germans who fear fresh air,
but who do not fear to walk on his toes,
talk and smoke in his face, and treat
him generally as If he were of no con.
sequence, unless he resents it sharply.
But if he is wise, either from expert
ence or by nature, and carefully avoids
too close contact with the too formal
and the too uncivil, he can enjoy his
liberty in famous fashion. He will find,
unluckily, that the German cock is in
almost every Swiss hotel kitchen. This
is melancholy, but fear that it cannot
be helped. Even in Geneva you find
the beefsteaks and the fried potatoes
have German accent. There is sus.
picion of sorrel and caraway in many
dishes in which civilized people do not
expect to discover them. He will also
see a vast deal of jugglery with cutlery.
Yet observe with certain sense of
pain that the Prussians are beginning
to eat with their forks. l had hoped
that they would have struck out freely
on new path, and, after having eaten
with their knives for couple OF cen.
turtles, would finish by bestowing their
food in their lean cheeks by means of
their sabers. But alas, am doomed
to disappointment. BY and by all the
world will have good manners at table,
and there will be naught left to cavil
at. The Swiss are still true to the old
juggling pastime; they insert three
fourths of their knife blades in their
throats { very time that they prepare
mouthful for mastication. They seem
also to cherish a certain enmity toward
the table, and sit remote from it, only
venturing to put their elbows on it.
They are like their German neighbors,
very much afraid of fresh air when
they are in the house. If you leave
window open on the mildest of even
ings, in room where they are present,
they quietly go and shut it, without
asking your leave. They consider you
mailman.

Talmage on Leadyille.

Lsadville is more lied about than any
city in the United States. It is mira
Gle of enterprise, and differs from
other cities only in having it's wicked.
ness all on the surface. That story
about my exploring the dance houses
in Leadville in company with friend
was mere newspaper enterprise. All
my exploring was done in about six
minutes, from the wide open doors of
one gambling house to another. Lead
vile needs no exploring. 1t does not
cover its crimes. 1t has more tele-
phones, for the population, than any
other place in the Union. 1t has live
clergymen, too. and its churches are
tkronged. There is no other instance
of such sudden and peculiar accumu-
lation of people, with SO few outbreaks
of immortality. Perfect order reigns.
A man is as safe there as in this city or
Fulton street: There are more MUIR
ders in this city of New York
than in Leadville. They have a
vigilance committee, composed of their
solid citizens and business men, whose
work ii is to " boost the rather cum
berous law. The day before arrived
they hanged two men, and over eighty
scoundreis ct once took the hint aud

Warfare Among the Fishes.

Mans natural cocdition is said to be
warfare; but it is not 80 much his con
dltion as it is that of fishes, which
really dwell amid ceaseless strife and
destruction. They can afford, perhaps,
to prey on one another in the manner
they do because they exceed in nur.
Der, both rs to species and individuals,
all other classes of vertebrates com
bined. In the sea there is perpetual
slaughter. The big fish subsist upon
the little ones; the members of the vast
finny tribe eat and are eaten in regular
turns. Herrings are fair sample of
the unfortunate experience of small
ksh. Ii they were not so supremely

ing grounds of the herring. When the
great annual shoals are seen on the
coasts they usually swim near the sur
face. and are followed and preyed upon
by any quantity Of larger fish. What
Is equivalent to a hOgshead OF herring
has often been found inside of d whale,
and 10 to 20 have been taken from q
cod. Gulls and other sea birds eat
them yoraciously. and the Island of st.
Ailaa, a ssg0sise lgant OF sea birds,
demands, it is estimated, for yearly
consumption near 300. 900, 900 herring.
Shoals have sometimes even been driv-
en- ashore in greater quantities than the
inhabitants of the neighborhood could
lind means of curing. Such instance
occurrei 40 or so years since at Grail.
Scotland. As the tide came in it was
full OF herring, and when it ebled such
numbers were stranded and left that
after all the salt obtainable had been
exhausted the local magistrates were
obliged to offer shilling CARLOAD
for their removal.
