A NEW DFPARTIRE IN TAN oRENG

Cheap clothing seems to have had its day
in Chicago. and our young men are LEARNING
that a good article is always the most eco
nolnlcal in the end. \ proof of this fact is
fund in the action Of Mr.. 4: B. Parker, who
fur the. last fnur years las been manager of
the Chicago house OF Nicoll, the Tailor. Mr..
Parker fund that so many Of his old CUSTOM
ers were dissatisfied with cheap and
poorly made work, and wanted sone-
thing better, that he was induced to
open 4 nercllant-tai1orng establishment
Of his own, where lie could supply them with
just what they desired. lie accordingly
leased tile store at the northwest corner 0f
Clark and Adams streets, directly opposite
Nicoll's place, and will open Saturday, May
T., with Il remarkably complete stock If
choice woolen goods. lie las also secured
the services Of Mr.. Joseph Sargent and Mr..
Snl liyan,. two If tic best and most ex-
perienccd cutters in Chicago, ana with a
good s'atf Of tirst-c1ass work,len he is thus
enabled to guarantee the quality, style,
and perfect fitting, Of every garment
p!erie'1cc In buying and managing
gives him unusual advantages, and,
while he will have nothing to sio with shoddy
work, he will also avoid the other extreme Of
fancy prices. lie will furnish the very hest
goods in every particular at the lowest prices
consistent with the quality. Mr.. Parker
already has host Of friends, and his new dc-
parture will make him more popular than
ever, aud he will merit the success lie is Ger
tain TO attain.

: The question is often asked BY
ladies', "1Vhy do the retail dry
goods houses ask such high prices
for Children's Dresses?" The rea.
son is this: They are bought most
" in New York, and, therefore.
have to pay the manufacturers
profit, which on children's goods
is about 80 per cent; then, after
their own profit is added, which
is about the same, making fullr
90 per cent in all, the goods ara
placed ON their counters for sale,
The same holds true US regards
Ladies' Dresses.
We are revolutionizing the trade
in Children's Wear since we have
opened this department, as We
have already done in Ladies'
Goods, by manufacturing them
ourselves and saving one profit
thereby also showing exclusive
styles, a thing impossible in New
York made goods, as they are gen.
orally cut out in lots Of several
thousand at time, and placed in
every dry-goods house all over the
country that sells cl0aks and snits.
Besides, they are interiorly made,
and cannot compare with our Gus
tom work, Il fact which every lady
in this city knows that has com.
pared our Ladies' Suits with the
New York Dresses shown in the
dry-goods houses. These are facts
which cannot be contrOyerted.
We therefore earnestly request
the Ladies' Lad les 81 T GiiittU to CU1llparo
our Children's Goods with any
that can be found in this city,
both as regards style, make, and
price, and we are confident that
they will save money and time
thereby.

Novel Way 10 XIII a Snake.

showed vigorous fight, and bit Ewood
three times on the arm. Becoming incensed
at such treatment, be asserted with an oath
that be would not be OutGOne as a bitist,

the snake again bit him severely on the

actually bit off its head. Strange to say, the

had no appreciable effect upon Elwood.-

venerable William Wertenbaker, an ap-
pointee OF MIR. Jefferson, is well.deseryed
tribute to faithful officer, now bowed with
age and bodily infrmilies; add 1t is inaccu-
rate only that purpOsely be was not retired,
but promoted to a new POSITION" emeritus
librarian" created specially for him under
the circumstances, with his salary continued
during his life.
To see himself published as retired,
think, would break the old gentleman
heart. The Board OF Visitors preferred to
honor him by promotion. His successor as
librarian, Rev. f. w. Page, OF Albemarle,
would have been his choice. Mr.. Page has
well and worthily for years past, to the sat-
isfaction OF all-Boar OF Visitors, Faculty
and notwithstanding the active dutie,
of the office, and we trust may for many
years to come continue to do so.
