Hayden Brothers.

A short time since we received a
large and neatly gotten up catalogue
from the Chicago House" of the
Hayden Bros, of Pierre. No wonder
this enterprising firm leads all compct-
ton in the West, and have their large
store mt Pierre crowded with customers
for they have advantages which no
other house possesses. With unlimited
means and large wholesale house in
Chicago, they manage to scoop in
large stocks of seasonable bankrupt
goods from time to time at prices
which enables them to sell lower than
many others can buy, and their Pierre
House gets the benefit. Particularly
is this the case just now, they having
bought the entire bankrupt stock OF

ut seems to us that 1t is about time
the Onida Journal ceased it's outrageous
lying about Clifton, else when the truth
befomes known its righteousness may
~ boomerang" back upon itself to its
otn disadvantage We have not paid
much attention to its statements, here
tbforc, for those acquainted with it
know its reputation for contumacious
lying too well to place any dependence
upon what 1t says. As an illustration,
take the following from its columns of
last week "Since the mud puddles OF
the Okobojo have dried and frozen
up the citizens of Clifton have to haul
their water from Onida township, dis
tance of four or five miles. They will
have no relief until the snow falls.

this subject, rs every one of our citi-
zens can testify, Is that VIC have one

the men in question. There is only
about $4,000 men in service in the
United States, and over one-half of this

desertions taking place is evidence that
our people do not take kindly to mill

are treated.

Speaking of locks, says New York
letter, one is led to notice the improve
ment in their methods of protection,
one of which is the "time lock-" This
is 50 constructed that an automatic
action is obtained. The interior of the
lock contains spring and wheels like
a watch movement, and it is wound up
in the same manner and set so as TO
open at a regular time. There are sew
eral patents of this kind of lock, which
is so popular that two thousand are in
use. They cost $500 apiece, but are
cheap even at that, when one considers
the vast amount of money thus pro-
tected. Formerly cashiers have been
seized, bound and compelled by burglars
to unlock the safe under fear of death,
but these time locks cannot be opened
until the fixed moment arrives. Each
manufacturer has q number of expert
workmen travelling for the purpose OF
examining and cleaning locks, which
should be done annually. The fee fol-
this service is $40. One of those eX-
aminers informs me that he has been
thus employed three years, and he re-
Gently visited some of the most impor-
tant banks of this city. He is watch
maker by trade, and considers these
locks merely largo watches. He also
informed me that there are dozen
other men in the same itinerancy, each
of whom averages $50 examinations a
year. The range of travel to which
they are subjected includes the entire
area of the Union, with most of its ter
ritories, and hence this forms peculiar
feature in the travelling community.

your ghost!' l pointed it out to Mrs.
Blanque, but was surprised to observe
she was far from being satisfied.
Going down to the cellar we discov-
cred the pipe had an outlet there, it be-
longing to some now disused system of
ventilation. That the passage was
free was easily demonstrated by dropp-
ing pebbles. Again the terrible noises
were heard, this time more distinct than
before. The discovery of this passage,
however, did not solve the mystery
Where did the voice and the noises
come from? They were not made in
Madame's house, that was clear, and
began to fear l was as far away from
the secret as ever.
Making some excuse, left the room
and proceeded to examine the houses
along the row, some six or seven being
all alike in design. At each of the
gratings listened carefully. At the
second house l observed that unusual
precautions had been taken to prevent
outsiders from peeping inside. Here,
too, l heard peculiar sounds, which
resembled rasping, and by placing my
ear close to the wall, heard the intEs-
tinct rumble of voices. l next rung
the door-bell, but obtained no answer.
Returning to Mrs. Blanque's house,
my operative repeated parts of several
sentences he obtained, one of which
spoke of the door bell. More impor-
tant than this was the name south
gate Bank" which he affirmed he caught
distinctly.
After assuring Mrs. Blanque that I
would explain the whole matter inside
of twenty-four hours, and leaving my
man on guard, FASTENED to the office
and made arrangements to have the
second house Swallowed. l called next
day on the cashier of the Southgate
Bank, and found that the watch dog
had been found dead some days before.
TO close the whole matter l may as
well explain that the noises were made
by filing and sharpening iron tools
with which a gang of robbers meant
to break into the safe of the South
gate Bank. This work was done in
the cellar, and Immediately above the
bench on which the work was progress
ing there was an opening in the wall
through which another ventilating
pipe ran until it opened out into the
upright shaft in Mrs. Blanque's house.
This conveyed the sounds as well as
added to the mysterious quality of tone.
The excited woman had mistaken the
word bank for Blanque, and the "rot-
ting bones" referred to the dog, which
these rascals had poisoned preliminary
to effecting an entrance into the bank.
Thus was the ghostly voice accounted
for; and the incident goes to prove
what an influence our thoughts and
our brains have upon other senses. 1t
only remains to add the fact that the
gang were subsequently allowed to
enter the bank, were caught in the
very act of breaking the safe, and
finally "sent up for an appropriate
term of years. No one outside knew,
nor did the thieves guess, that they
had revealed their secrets to ghost
! catcher.

Protecting the Reporters.

Touching the various definitions
which are being given of construction"
the st. James Gazette says that news
papers were largeiy indebted for their
privilege of reporting parliamentary
debates to an act of downright obstruc-
ton committed on their behalf by Ed
mund Burke. When in March, III,
Lord Mayor Crosby was sent to the
tower for protecting the reporters of
the London Ecening Mail, who had
been ordered into arrest Burke took up
the reporters cause in the house. Mr..
Reginald Palgrave, in his interesting
little monograph on the house of COM
mons, of which he is clerk assistant,
tells us how this was done: Burke
could not prevent the committal of the
printers, but he made the proceedings
look absurd; he made them sick of the
Job. For twelve long hours-from five
o'clock one afternoon till five o'clock
next morning-by twenty-three divi-
sions, by facial motions, by jest, by
every kind of absurd proposal, did
Burke delay and make contemplate
the attempt to silence the newspapers.
The result of that victory of March II,
III, is most conspicuous-the gallery,
namely, which runs across the house
above the speakers chair.

Poverty and Distress.

That poverty which produces the greatest
distress is not of the purse but of the blood.
Deprived of its richness it becomes scant and
watery. q condition termed dnemia in medi-
cal writings. Given this condition, and scrof-
ulous swellings and sores, general and ner-
vous debility, loss of flesh and appetite, weak
lungs, throat disease, splitting of blood and
consumption, are among the common results.
