Tha BOSTON Fish Huraau

1t is reported the people of Gloucester,
elated by their success in securing the dissolu-
tion of the Boston Fish Exchange were to hold
an indignation meeting at their City Hall last
night to wage war on another. The New
England Halibut Company was organized
about sixteen years ago and is managed by
New York and Boston Directors, having q
headquarters in Gloucester. 1t is claimed that
by the power of their influence on the fisher
men they have secured practical monopoly
in the supply of halibut, and that the Atlantic
Halibuu Company, in order to secure existence,
is obliged to cooperate with them. As an
instance of the profits Of the New England
Halibut Co., it is said that lastyear they secur-
edla dividend of Sc cents box on every box of
halibut the dealers used, this being in addition
to the regular profits on the sales. The men,
bers of the late Fish Exchange are to large
extent interested in tho New England Halibut
Company.

Attractive China and Glass.

The Boston correspondent OF the bingham
journal (than whom no one knows Boston bet
ter for generation back) gives this we'll de-
served notice OF a leading house, which our
readers will do well to visit, whether they pur-
chase or not:
Fifty years ago the dealers in china, glass
and earthern ware made but little display Of
their merchandise, and the stores devoted to
the sale of such goods were unattractive exter-
nally and internally Great rough crates and
Jagged hogsheads blocked the passages and
heaps of musty hay Uttered the floors. Such
old houses as Otis Norcrsss & Co., Hay & At
kins, Mellen & Co., and later, A T. Hall g.
Co. were among the largest wholesale houses.
while the retail trade was largely confined to
Washington and Hanover streets The
first house in the trade to make an artistic dis
play Units windows of the elegant productions
of foreign and domestic manufacture was
the firm of Jones, McDuffee & Stratton. sue
cessors to the old house Of Otis Norcross & Co.
To-day their spacious store is one OF the most
noted features Of business Boston, and the
really artistic arrangement OF their superb
goods attracts the attention of every passer
through Federal street. The Centennial Ex
hibition marked the change from white to the
revival of colored patterns, and never were the
dealers more taxed to keep stocks up to the de-
mand than in this season.

On April, 1881, bought one of your Pino-
Palmine mattresses and pillows for her and
watched with interest the result. She has not
had bnt one slight attack since, and that was
from cold taken when away from home on a
vacation, some eight days before she returned.
She returned home and after using the Pine
and pillow one week she was all over it, and
for the last year she has not had it at all. My
wife and myself used the Pine for the last fif-
teen (15) months and think it the sweetest and
best bed we ever used. Also nine of my pa
tients have each had one for more than year.

A CARD,
Important to Cyclop@dia Buyers.

More than 100 people in Maine, including
clergymen, lawyers, college professors and bust
ness men, after subscribing for the ENcYcLo-
pEDIA BRITANNICA have become so much dis.
satisfied and disappointed in the character
of that work that they have either thrown up
their subscriptions, positively refusing to take
another volume, or have offered to assign their
subscriptions with GIFT OF -FOUR OR FIVE
VOLUMES to any one who would take the work
off their hands, or have sought to exchange
the volumes already issued for APPLETON 8
CYcLoPEDIA We invite all who desire to in
vestigate the mnrits of the two cyclop@dias
mentioned to make careful examination and
comparison of the volumes, side by side, and
those who prefer the foreign eyclop@dia we
can supply at FROM So TO $4 PER VOLUME, as
far as issued, and tho balance at regular price.
We will eheerfully furnish volumes of both
works for examination. After EIGHT YEARS
from the publication of the first volume, the
Encyclopedia Britannica has been issued only
as far as the letter l.. And we have no doubt
that the work can be BOUGHT FOR HALF PRICE

change for Appletons.

Mr.. Blaine in Washington.

A Washington correspondent says; "James
G. Blaine is prominent figure just now in
Washington society social and political-and,
although it has been semi-officially announced
that he is out OF politics forever, there is
always great desire to know his opinions on
passing events. Mr.. Blaines health appears to
be excellent. Tall, portly and graceful in
movement, his wealth of white hair sets eff his
expressive features, with their penetrating,
never-quiet dark eyes. Just now he is moving
his lares and penates into his wonderfully
commodious and comfortable new house, and
is vibrating between Massachusetts avenue and
the New York furniture warehouses. Mr..
Travers, who will occupy the old Blaine house
on Fifteenth street. wants to getinstalled there
at once, and he has purchased much of the
furniture-but Mr. Blaine has had to hurry
into his new domicile sooner than he anticipat-
ed. 1t is an imposing structure, covering a
block of ground about 70 by 70 feet, and is
solid and substan tial from its steep roof to its
roomy basement. The spacious halls and
stairways are wainscoated, finished and ceiled
IN OAK; the drawing room, the dining room and
the library are finished in solid mahogany and
the chambers are finished in poplar and pinesa
The great charm Of the house is that each and
every room, large and small, has its open fire
place, some of them surrounded by beautiful
mantlepieces, with carved wood and mirrors
It is, indeed, an English house, with its COM
forts set off by many Yankee contrivances."
