AN INTERESTING COMMUNICATIONS.

We have arranged with inc Puo''sHei VI
this paper to publish about one-third OF a
column per week in the interests OF our
business. We will furnish the manuscript
ourselves, and each and every week new
article WILL appear. can honest confession
is good for the SOUL" SO we will admit that
our sole object is to advertise our business.
But, we propose to make these articles or
advertisements, very different from the old
fashioned, stale, display lads" which APP
pear in the same form, week after week,
until YOU tire of seeing and never take the
trouble to read them. These articles will
appear as reading matter and each one will
not only be new, as stated, but Will te
written in an interesting and instructive
manner. Unless you shall read them they
will not benefit US, and we shall therefore
strive very hard to make them readable.
While zue hope to be benefited by these
articles, we also hope to benefit yon and We
believe We will not fail if YOU but give us
few minutes of your attention from time to
time. Ifyou will do this, Se believe We
can not only interest you hut save yo"
money, and YOU know it's the "alrnighty
dollar" that we're all after.
Our house is well-known throughout the
entire Territory, and it is, therefore, hardly
necessary for US to tell you that we deal in
dry goods, notions, gents furnishing goods,
carpets, wall paper and other house furnish
ing goods, ready made clothing, etc. The
latter, however, We propose to discontinue
keeping when our present stock shall be
disposed of. We have advertised to this
effect in the papers of this city for several
weeks past and have offered great induce
ments in prices and the result has been we
have sold an immense quantity of Clothing.
But, we had a very large stock and our
assortment therefore is still complete
enough to suit almost every one. you
need anything in the clothing line, send us
the size of each garment and description
of the goods YOU want and we will forward
bv mail or express. We think our select
ion will not only please you, but we honest
| lv believe We can save you 9lo to go IN
the price of suit.
We are now receiving new spring goods
in every department of our business and
we will be pleased to send samples of dress
goods, wall paper on application by letter
or otherwise, and quote prices and furnish
any other information you may wish. We
send goods all over the Territory by mail
and express with entire satisfaction. Our
mail order department is complete. Send
us your orders and they will receive our
best attention.
| Our next article will not partake so much
of the character Of a sa!utatory, but we will
have something to say about dress goods
carpets, etc. SANDS y bO w.

DAVID pAyIDs' ooUsrsHir
An Amusing story Told I'm washihs'0" al
the Expense of President Arthar.

An Amusing story Told In Washington at
the Expense of President Ar'har'
A good story Is told about the eourtship
of David DAVIS. The Judge was extremely
re,ieent abe At bis new matrimonial vent
ure. and after ii was positively ssown that
he was engaged to Miss Burr,
he lodged and eyaded every "ieeler"
that was thrown out by his
numerous friends In fact, the repeated de-
mands on the bridegrO0lns part, and the
air of mystery thrown about the ALTAR, at
tracted more attention 10 the romance Than
would have followed a frank ayowal OF
the engagement. With all the good
humored wagging that the. judge has
an tT.red during the last three
months. he has one eonsoling episode to re-
member. Last winter Miss Burr and Miss
Green, the daughter of Representative
elect Green. of North Carolina, at whose
residence the wedding took place, visited
Washington us the guests OF Mrs. Hose,
the wife of the representative from
West Virginia Both these ladies'
were anxious to visit the White mouse
and see the president, but tue judge ana not
wish to escort Miss Burr. Hewas perfectly
wiling TO show Miss Green the sights, and
he addressed note to the president, saying
that he wished to call with lady at the
executive mansion, The president ap-
pointed a time and the visit was paid.
Miss Green isa young and very hand
some person. and the president immedi-
atelv iumped to the conclusion that she
was Judge Davis intended bride lie
showed her every attention, escorted the
couple through the house and the conser'
yatory. picked bunch of flowers
for the lady, and talked until the Judge
became impatient TO leave. When the
couple returned to the hotel the old gentle
man observed to Miss Burr that Miss
Green had captiyated the president, few
DAYS later the Justices of the supreme cour,
dined with the president, Judge Davis wa
guest. When the cigars were lighted The
president, with mock formality
| rendered his c ngralulations to the presi
dent of the senate The judge protested
| that there was no reason why he should b,
congratulated. The president persisted il
his congratulations, and the justice
demanded to know the mystery. TIL,
president told OF the visit OF Judg
Davis aud Miss Green, The veteran
jurist pooh. pooled the idea Of marry
ing the lady, and be squirmed under tn
pleasant congTa' uatiOns that were prOlleret
on every side. you may deny as much a
you please, judge, but you don't dare t.
sign Il quitclaim in my favor" bantcringl
remarked the president The Judge dreV
a piece of paper and pencil from his pocket
and, in careful legal form, drew u
and signed u REIMBURSEMENT {
all his right, title and interest in Mis-
Green, provided the president proposed t
her within one year. This he signed an

The proposition advocated by the Penn
sylvania legislature, named in the following
paragrah has seemed to us ut all times one
of the wisest in the interest of temperance
that could be adopted. The Philadelphia
Times says "Some of our esteemed con-
temporares are disposed to poke fun ut
the proposal of SENATOR GREER to
stop treating in the interest of
temperance. Many funnier things could be
found TO joke about. The idea did not
originate with SENATOR GREER, but it is
nearly MS good an ide9 MS If it had. Tho
habit, which is purely American, OF treat
ing, probably leads to moro drunkenness
than any other thing. II is the democrat.
iSation of young men who 70 about to.
gether great deal, They treat each other
and get drunk. Such thing is not done
in any other country, and it is very rare in.
deed that man gets drunk unless he is in
company and drinks because 1t is sociabie.
| is not likely that SENATOR GRsRR will be
able to get his proposition adopted-at
least, not in Harrisburg-but it wouldn't
be n bad thing at all If he could succeed. !"

In England and Ireland, at least ~ long

that LADY FLORENCE DlxIE's corset

purchase supply for their own ux. In
conjunction with tho corset ,oI course acood

SENATOR LOGAN and his whilom pet, SEC
RETARY LINCOLN, have reached that point
where they will not even speak to each
other. II will never do for mutual friends
to catch the presidential fever. A possible
rivalry for "the highest Office within the gift
of the people" is said to have produced this
heartrending estrangement between these
great Illinois statesmen.
