In response to the sentiment offered on

to the engineering corps of the Chicago,
Texas s. Mexican Central railroad, the fol-
lowing happy effort was made by Chief En-.
gineerW. G. Waite:

ment to the engineering corps, I take great
pleasure, as their chief, in responding in their
behalf. The Skill" you SO kindly refer to

gentlemen as ]. E. Flanders, esq, one of the
best architects and engineers Of Dallas.
and the renowned Col. L. II Fi.zhugh, also

time considered bigger man than old
Grant; besides Judge George S. Lee and
several other distinguished GO ..rmen from
Chicago. With such assia' zee is 1t any
wonder that some skill" b.. been shown ia

The answering lal mentioned by my

our whole duty IN our employers and a love

Ire Counters and Tables in this
Department fairly groan beneath their
loads of NEW SPRING GOODS, in
every variety of Fabric and of every con-
ceivable Pattern. Where in previous
seasons we have shown ten styles, this
Spring we offer fifty styles, and, while
heretofore our prices have always been
LOWER THAN THE LOWEST, our
tremendous purchases this season will
permit us to name such rediculously low
prices that the prices of former years
will, in comparison, seem quite high.
We have accomplished three things this
Spring, which cannot fail to please the
people, viz, we have improved our
styles; we haves bettered our workman
ship; we have lowered our prices, which
Joined to the fact that we show an as
sortment from which to select larger
than would be the combined stocks of
all other clothiers in the city, renders
our store the only place in the State
where judicious persons can get the best
value for the least money.
Other houses may name prices for GER
tam qualities and styles of suits, ut let
them be ever so low, we will sell our
goods for lower price. We have guar
anteed our prices to be the lowest, and
the matter of cost shall not keep II from
making our guarantee good.
Our business suits for $40, 81 and
30 can not fail to astonish you in the
quality and elegance.

were placed vases Of flowers, aud suspended
from the altar cross hung two baskets Of

with blooming plants from the bishop's con.

speeches were of the usual violent char

sion of many thousands, with bands, ap'
propriate banners and emblems, mus
tered at Charing Gross and proceeded
by way OF Pail Mall, ST. James's street
and Piccadilly to the park, where 1t ar.
rived about O'Clock. The speeches
were delivered from six platforms. The
principal speakers were Messrs. Barry,
O'Donnell and Finigan, Home Rule
members of Parliament for Wexford
Dupgarvan and Ennis, respectively, and
Messrs. Clarke and Hyndmann and Miss
Craigen, connected with London demo-
cratic associations. Resolutions de-

Spectators state that the demonstration
was remarkably orderly. The class o.
Irish present appeared to be respectable

latter, were greeted with groans ant
shouts of "traitors."
