MORAL.

Of course all this occurred ii long,
long time ago-in the beginning of the
year 1881, but editors are pretty much
the same set of dish-rags now that they
were then, and the above story there
fore teaches several things.
1t teaches tirstly-that an editor won d
not sell his soul to the devil for S2O,-
600. 900. 1t teaches secondly-that he
would not sell his influence 10 thn devil
for ten thousand cash subscribers a
wear. 1t teaches thirtly-that he would
not transfer one tenth of his back sub
scription bills to the devil, even though
the devil should collect tho other nine
tenths. Should such man as this he
allowed to live on dried apples and
herrings, and to so all winter without
new pair of shoe', n new shirt, and Il
new ulster overcO,t? Can any subscrIb-
er who owes newspaper man one years
subscription or three years subscriptions
have the hardness OF heart to withhold
the amount?

Rugs and Oarnats.

The present fancy for plushes and
velvets that is seen in dress fabrics,
millinery and uphosterlngs prevails al
so as regards carpets. The consequence
is an increasing demand for Wilton
and velvet carpets and an increased
production for the Autumn and Winter
trade. The tendency in New York in
all carpets for parlors and bedrooms is
to floral decoration in rich, yet deli
cate colors, on olive, old gold, ecru or
ivory grounds. The floral decoration
is generally in the form of loose sprays
rather than set bouquets or garlands,
and the effect while strong, is at the
same time light and graceful. Carpets
for halls and dining-rooms come in rich
dark colors, overlaid with Persian and
India designs. Stair-carpets naturally
partake OF the character Of hall-car-
pets, and are consequently dark. The
borders TO carpets are made TO contrast
with the carpet more than has been the
style heretofore. There is tendency
now to cover the entire floor, though in
many houses carpets are still laid so as
to expose border Of marquetry or 9TH
or hard wood work In Indian carpets,
the Ahlowalia carpets are in great de-
mand; these come in olive, greens, and
bric-a-brac reds. Body brussels are
out this season in greatly improved pat
terms, and are having good run. So
are American moquet carpets, which
come from this firms own factories,
which are sold at $l.40 per yard. In
grains offered this year. from their su-
perior quality, have likewise gained in
favor. A decided improvementin these
are the reversible ingrains, both sides
of which are equally well finished.
The Masulipatan rugs are among popu-
lar India goods, coming as they do in
usual sizes. They have ivory ground
overlaid with deep rich colors. A want
long felt among large class are rugs Of
good coloring and pattern in moder-
ate cost This want is now supplied by
large and varied assortment Of Amer
ican-made rugs in convenient sizes.
Conspicuous among there rugs Of home
manufacture are the imitation Smyrna
rugs, which closely resemble the orig
inals, and the reversible ingram rugs.
The last mentioned come in sizes by
q feet and 8 by p feet, and cost s.
and SO apiece.

Question your Druggist,

and he will tell you that there is greater
demand for S0ZODONT than for any other
preparation for the teeth. Then ask your
self whether an article for which the de-
mand is general and constant, must not
possess genuine merit. The mental response
will be that it does, since the conclusion is
irresistible, that if it do not really polish
and preserve the teeth, discerning public
would long since have discovered the fact.

say that it is tasteful1y furnished and at

The Railroad Bridge.

The trestle work of the first span of
the bridge, PA feet in length, was re-
moved Tuesday and the iron span now
rests upon its own merits and piers one
and two. The piling has all been dri-
ven for the false structure for the
draw, which will be 256 feet in length,
leaving channel for the passage of
boats of 12s feet on either side of the
draw and the work of putting up the
false work is now engaging the atten-
ton of the saw and hammer brigade.
Work was recommended on pier 8, the
central pier, upon which the draw will
rest, Wednesday, and in the course of
about ten days it will be completed.
The work has progressed so far that
high water, or an ordinary rise could
not seriously interfere, but the bridge
will hardly be entirely completed before
the middle or latter part of January
of next year. It's monstrous job and
must be seen to be appreciated.
