Attention, HOusekeepers.- Special at
tention is requested of all housekeepers
and those who are about going to house
keeping to the advertisement of Messrs
Stephens q Beetem, in another column
of this paper on the subject of Carpets.
From the tone of their "ad.'' it certainly
must be to the interest of all who desire
goods in the line of Carpets, Oil Cloths,
and Wall Paper, to call on them. They
can not or will not be undersold and
their large and attractive stock should
be an inducement for any in want of
these goods to at least inspect them.
They offer to ship your goods free of
cost and thus save you the trouble of
hauling them when otherwise burdened.
AS rule people do not buy what they
do not want, but where wants become
apparent then he who is able to supply
those wants in the most satisfactory
manner is the person who sells cheapest.
The proprietors of the Carlisle Carpet
House are now ready to do this, and we
bespeak for them large trade this
season. We know whereof we speak.

The recent improvement in the or
ganization of the Russian armyhave
Extended to the food as well as to the
arms and discipline Of it's soldiers, and
the days ration of a Russian private
of 1881, rough as it is, would have
been thought absolute luxury by his
half-starved predecessor of the last
generation. The farinaceous ration
lin time of war is q little over two
pounds of hard black biscuit per day !;
lin peace, it is the same amount Of
wheat or barley -four and bnckwheat
! cruel, the latter being much esteemed
by the Russian peasantry. Four days
lin the week (the other three being
!fasts by the rules of the Greek Church)
leach man receives half a pound OF
meat per day, exclusive ofbone. with
Ia certain amount of tea, vegetables,
spirits, etc. Few men, however, are
$50 independent of supplies as the|
ordinary Russian. The military annals
3of the Circassian war have preserved
THE fame of regiment which fasted|
for three days and fought a battle on|
the fourth. A still more curious in-l
stance occurred during Suyarof'sl

|half-starvcd Russians poured into

famous cheese they had heard sol
many stories, their first proceeding|
: was to devour the contents of q large|

to be the dainty in question, and
lthen falling upon the French they
beat them back across the Reuss.
when Suvaroff, after the battle prais-

modestly attributed it to the ''god|

 An interesting case has just been decided by the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine, settling the question as to when sale con ducted by correspondence is perfected. The controversy arose as follows: Plaintiff and defendant had correspondence in reference to quantity of hay in plaintiff g barn, which led to the defendant causing it to be pressed by his men. Plaintiff had written to defend ant, asking him to make an offer for the hay saying that if his offer was satisfactory plaintiff would accept of it if not, he would send defendant the money for press ing Defendant examined the hay:

and on June 15 sent this card by mail to plaintiff, which plaintiff received about 9 o'clock the same day twill give $9.50 per ton for all but three tons, and for that will
 give $5" Plaintiff lived fourteen miles from. where defendant lived, and there was daily
 mail communication each way between the
 two places. On June 20 plaintiff, after try
 ing to see defendant personally. wrote this. After expressing hope that defendant would have paid more, he said: But you can
 take the hay at your offer, and when you
 get it hauled in, if you can pay the $10, I
 would like to have you do it, if the hay
 proves good enough for the price," Defend | ant received this card that night or the next l morning, made no reply, and on the morning l of the 23d the hay was burned in the barn. l Defendant refused to pay for the hay, where upon plaintiff brought suit for the price at | $5 per ton for three tons, and $9.50 per ton | for the balance. The court held that the
 sale was completed. That the title to the hay was in the defendant at the time it was | burned, and the defendant was liable for the l price of such hay.

The Dead Czar.
Russian CivIlizatiOn-Dr. Todd at Church of the Redeemer-NOtes.

Russian m Cfvilization-Dr. Todd at Church of the Redeemer-NOtes. Rev. Dr. Todd gave his people highly in teresting discourse yesterday with regard to the assassination of the Czar. A review of the life and career of the late unfortunate Emperor was given, embracing the leading facts, and an estimate of his character was given. He was 8 potentate. whose name would be ever honored if alone for the sin gle grand act of emancipation by which he gave liberty to 23, 900, 900 slaves. He was @ monarch who entered upon his career eager and in earnest for the improvement of Rus sia socially and politically. He had headed | many practical attempts at reform, which, l however, had been thwarted by lack of sup port where he should have received Hence, | although he made many noble reforms, he failed of accomplishing what he had intended and hoped for, and his lot was embittered by the disaffection of his suffering subjects, who, having been given taste of liberty, | were restless, chafng and revolutionary, l aiming, though bindly, for the full posses sion. The late Czar was an unfortunate monarch. With will to do the best for his | WAAOCS | lot he sought to improve. Possessed of an | earnest wish for reform, his courage failed at the mighty opposition which confronted ev- cry effort. The lustre of his reign is some what dimmed by acts of tyranny and oppres
 sion, and by his yielding when he should have stood firm. He was unhappy mon arch. The light of freedom is still fol i Russia in the distance. A high and pure spiritual standard and enlightenment of tht
 masses are Russia's great needs. The ligh of the gospel of Christ Illuminating mems
 minds from north to south, from east tt
 west over that broad, great empire, is wha I is needed.

 especially during the season of Lent. H
 impressed the necessity of early learning th
 habit of attending mass, both on Sunday
 and holidays of obligation, and inculcate'
 the virtues specially to be rracticed durin
 this season. His remarks, though brief an
 cursory, made deep impression on the con
 gregation and he was listened to with clos ; attention. Father McGivney was celebran
