Kahnwe1ler's Bazaar.

This popular establishment is now
snugly ensconced in It's new quarters
on Main street. The new store is
fitted up with elegance and taste, the
shell wing being painted in a delicate
shade of pink, while the walls and
ceiling are beautifully decorated with
japanese fans and parasols, and the
counters and show cases loaded with
a handsome stock of ladies' furnish
ing goods and Christmas articles in
infinite variety. Mr.. Kahnweiler has
added 3 seasonable specially to his al
ready remarkably miscellaneous
stock, in the bringing on of an extern
sive line of masquerade costumes,
which include every conceivable
costume from the peaked cap and re-
dicnlous mask of a clown to the ele-
CANT dress of lady of the Spanish
court.

Seusaless Invitations.

"Come and see u.s." or "come and
see me-" 'any time" Now "any
time'' is generally a very poor time.
"Any time" may mean when the
party is otherwise engaged, or for
some cause the very last time the
party wants to see you. If your
company is worth entertaining or
valuable it is worth setting a time
for. "Any time" meaning no set
time, involves calling when other
parties are present, who will take all
the pleasure out Of your visit. Seeing
a friend who socially amounts to any
thing socially means seeing him, and
not the other half dozen with him.
At least, with such as have passed
out of the era of g%regarious social ex-
istence, which can digest a mixed
gathering of wheat and chatf, or good
bad and Indifferent altogether. The
pleasure of social intercourse between
individuals is also dependent on rule
and regulation. and requires not only
that the two see each other alone and
undisturbed by other presence, but
that the two see each other in their
best condition and not tagged out or
exhausted.-New York Graphic.

The Weather.

Vennor says: The fore part of De-
cemher is likely to continue cold,
and lead many to look for an early
setting in. of the winter of 1884,
but, as in 1875. all will be open again
in the latter part of the month and
close of the year 1888. The year will
go out and the new year enter with
little or no snow, ven in the north
ern sections.

SENSATION IN COURT.
The Bogus POstofice Inspector
Committed tor Trial.

A special dispatch to the Inde-
pendent, dated Livingston, December
18th, says: w. T. Henderson, the
bogus Postoffice Inspector, was
brought into court this afternoon for
examination upon the preferred
charges. Being asked if he had coun-
sci. he pointed out as such a gentle
man known to only a few in the
room.
This gentleman, who passed under
the name of Attorney Mclaughlin,
addressed the court, and after a few
preliminary remarks said he came
there for the purpose of proving that
the prisoner was a consummate
scoundrel, and he (the pretended at.
torney) was Thomas R. Bannerman,
Postofice Inspector.
This announcement created a great
sensation and the prisoner lost cour-
age so completely that after a little
consideration he waived examina
ton and was committed for trial.
Bannerman's curse in this matter
was due to the fact that Henderson
had published that he met the for
mer in Missoula, talked with him an
hour, dined with him, and, as he
said, might have slept with him,
had he desired. This being entirely
untrue and somewhat derogatory 20
Bannerman's professional reputation,
he took this means of getting even
with Henderson, who fell easily in
to the trap, engaged the inspector as
his attorney, and told HIM his whole
story,

The Good old English Gus
tom Of Kissing Pretty
Girls Under the
MistletOe.
A Luxury in Which Adam
INDUCED at Eve.
Symbol of Friendship
Which Makes the Heart
Throb With Ap-
probation.
Friendship is Best Known
By the Fruit it Bears.

The good old English custom @,
hanging mistletoe everywhere dur:
ing Christmas and kissingeyery pref.
ty girl who passes under it, is the
only English custom worth preserv-
ing, according to a paragraph which
recently appeared in an Eastern
daily. kissing pretty girls is perhaps
more ancient than even the druidi
cal days of "Old England" We
wouldn't be at all surprised, if the
truth were known, that even Adam
INDUCED in this little luxury; if not
in the glare of daylight, at least, at
Eve. But there's another holiday
custom almost
AS SWEET
as kissing, and it is that of giving.
The two r very closely allied and
and if either were abolished, life
would not be worth the living. It is
the custom of
GIVING,
with which We now have to do, and
this leads us to suggest that our as
sortment OF ''holiday gifts" is extens-
i've and elegant enough to confer as
much happiness in this community
during the holiday season as will
probably ooze out through the vari-
GUS other channels of social inter-
course during the entire balance of
the year. It is not so much the in
trinsic value of a gift that makes the
heart throb with appreciation, but
the friendship of which it is the un-
mistakable symbol. There's NJ
wand whose magic touch sends
such a flow of good feeling through
every remote recess of the soul as
that of friendship, and which is best
known by the fruit it bears.
If you haven't fully decided what
presents to buy, we are sure our as
will aid you, and if you
have decided, we believe it will en-
able you to better your decision.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.

THE SIZE OF The SILVER
QUESTION.

The San Francisco Bulletin in an
article under the above caption thus
measures the problem:
The object Of the attack OH the
standard silver dollar is now pretty
generally understood, 1t can be
traced with certainty in nearly all
cases to the Eastern money kings.
ALI the holders of national bonds,
most national banks and money
lenders generally are engaged in it.
They want to set up the single stand
ard of gold, and in that way increase
the value of that metal. They are
striving to have debts contracted
when gold and silver were equally
legal tender, paid in gold alone.
There are millions piled high in the
project. By removing the standard
dollar from the coinage their object
will be effected. That was the game
that was played in 1873.
The parties enlisted in this opera
ton have immense power. The
statesmen, so-calIed, newspapers and
claquers are in their employ. They can
when they are so minded make a
great noise ard bring a powerful
pressure to bear. But for all that we
do not think they are going to be
successful this time. The country is
better educated on the subject of
finance than it was ten years ago.
The great army of borrowers, the
Government itself as a borrower,
and the States, cities and counties in
the same relation, are not going to
allow such a march to be stolen on
them. There is one SIM
pie method for getting rid
ofthe apparent overstock of standard
dollars in the treasury-give them
the place in the currency which they
were designed to fill. If the one dol
lar and two dollar shin plasters, the
bills of small denominations which
are found in the circulating medium
of no civilized community, were
withdrawn, as they ought to be,
there would not be an undesired sill
yer dollar in the treasury in a short
time. The lowest denomination for
which paper should be issued is S..
It may be added that it is a mis-
take to suppose that the silver is a
question of Importance only to a
small group Of States. On the con-
trary it is a question as broad and.as
long as the country. 1t goes to the
very root of wi system of currency.
Tampering with it cannot fail to
bring on a stagnation similar to that
which from other causes fell onto the
country recently. The money kings
--------1--- - l. l. Z
get back their money on the same
terms on which they loaned 1t. If
they are greedy and grasping, they
may not fare so well. At all events
it is not wise to presume on a popu.
lar ignorance which possibly does noS
exist.

Mr.. Beecher, in his lecture on evolu-

less in winter, with dead twigs. Mr..
Beecher may be a Jumbo Of intellect and
and tolon Of research, but he
doesn't X now very much sl,ont the tenn
peFaIhehti VI the magnolia tree. The
magnolia never sheds its leaves until 1t
tosses up the sponge Of the vegetable
kingdom. 1t is like the circuit rider,
green all the year. When once its
leaves drop, the ux of decay is
at its root. Mr. Beecher is not to
blame for this ecceniricity Of the mag
nela tree. He la. made the nat.
ursl mistake incident to ignorance con-
corning the habits OF the plant and
ahouli not be censured by the Academy
Of Sciences. n he had said that at early
dawn the magnolia tucked up its roots
and danced jig for the entertainment OF
the other shrubs, close observers every
where coall accuse him Of absurdity,
not the outgrowth Of vegetable ignor-
aiice, but the offspring of disposition to
lie; but he did not say this and conse-
quently we are compelled to treat him
with due consideration. ---Arkansaso
