No Good Preaching.

No man can do good job of work,
preach good sermon, try law suit well
doctor a patient, or write a good article
when he feels miserable and dull, with
sluggish brain and unsteady nerves, and
none should make the attempt in such a
condition when it can be SO easily and
cheaply removed by little Hop Bitters.

The Knickerbocker Ice Company of New
York having decided to raise the price OF
the CONCEALED liquid about 25 per cent, II
was apprehendcd that the same principle
would be followed in other cities. In Bal.
timore there is some danger that the prece.
dent will have its effect. In Washington
however, we are happy to state, no such fol
lowing will be had.
THE CRITIC visited the leading ice com
panies in Washington, and learned from
them that no advance in the price will bt
made, nor is any advance under considera
ton. Even if the prices are raised in Bal
timore, they say there will be no following
suit in Washington.
The price here at present is twenty-five
cents per hundred, although the Govern
ment Printing Office is served with ice a
the rate of thirteen cents per hundred this
however, is profitable to the ice merchants
as the contract is of an annual and continu
Gus character. s

passport to send the Doctor out of the coun-

had procured his watch, upon which Mr..
Watson had loaned him dollar. With n

him the dollar and demanded his watch.

where Were All the Mighwaymen I.


An incident was witnessed at the custom
house yesterday which, in view of the re-
cent highway robbery in New York, was
decidedly interesting to the chance spec
tators. A hack drove up to the main en-
trance, ON Second street, about $50 p m,
in which were seated two gentlemen. On
the front seat were piled probably about
thirty white canvas bags, which had "coin"
stamped ON every contour in an unmis-
taxable manner. The gentlemen jumped
out the hackman got down from his perch
and all proceeded to fill their arms with the
little bags, the contents of which jingled
unsteady. Meanwhile, when they had
loaded themselves with all the bags they
could carry, the intelligent trio immedi-
ately turned their backs on the carriage,
which still contained one-half of the bags,
and walked into the custOm-house. BY
actual timing they remained there three
minutes, while the carriage with its con-
tents was left to take care of itself. An
enterprising thief need only have shut the
door and sprung on the seat, when he could
have driven Off without difficulty Those
two men would make valuable bank CASH
iers.
