His Own Son.

A maiden lady of Berlin, Miss g., had
tbund sutton in the person of a young
lawyer, who at an early hour in the
morning ran up to pay her short visit.
Scarcely had he entered the room when
a knock was heard at the door. The
young lady, not wishing to be surprised
by some spying fair friend at so early an
hour, prevailed upon her swain to take
refuge in wardrobe, and turned the key.
Great was her terror on opening the door
of her room to see Sheriff walk in and
scrutinizingly glance at the furniture.
That officer had coms to seize some Of
her goods III order to satisfy the claim Of
an impatient seambtress. The Sheriff
had fixed upon the wardrobe as the
piece of furniture Lest likely to cover
the demand of his claimant, and, suppos-
ing the wardrobe contained the very
dress which was the cause of his official
interference, lie asked the lady to open
the same. This Miss 8. declared to be
impossible. as she had lost the key. The
Sheriff smiled incredulousIy, and left tho
room III search of locksmith, not. how.
over, before have put lis official seal on
the keyhole OF the wardrobe. Scarcely
had the door closed behind the myrmidon
of justice when the prisoner, first ten
derby, then threateningly, demanded the
wardrobe to be opened, the trembling
maiden all the while imploring him to
bear the inevitable with fortitude. A
loud knock ct the door announced the
return of the Sheriff. Without giving
him time to tell the lockemith as to what
was expected of him, the young lady
quickly pushed the honest workman into
she adjoining kitchen, and, with a pitiful
=aien and gesture, handed the Sheriff the
key from her pocket. Making straight
tor the wardrobe, that imperJurbable off
Ger opened it, but started back, and, to
the discontinue of the alnlost-swooning
Miss S., exclaimed: "Bombs and gre
aades Charles, my boy, how the deuce
did you get into that box?" The situa.
ton leaving nothing to be desired in
point of comical effect, became palpably
lucid.

have frequently been asked by
parties in the Red River valley to give
the location, extent and general appear
ance of lake Rosa. It's situation cannot
be accurately described, being in the
unsurveyed lands, but we expect it will
be near the eastern boundary of town
ship 1G2 range SO. It covers about
5000 acres, being four miles lorg
and varying from half mile to three
miles in width. With regard to its gen.
eral appearance great many would be
disappointed on seeing it. Lake Rosa
is simply what most people would call a
large slough, with this difference that
the land on all sides of it is high and
dry. This lake is invaluable to the
farmers Of this section of country, as it is
about the only place for miles around
where hay can be procured. and here it
grows in abundance. The soil so far as
1 have seen is good, and settlers are
coming in rapidly. -Four weeks ago there
was not house to be seen west Of the
lake. now it is settled three. or four miles
back.

A Card from MIR. Max Goldsmith.


SIR: In view of the report of the trial in
the police court yesterday Of myself, on the
charge of receiving stolen goods, as published
in yesterdays Euening Star, beg space of you
to correct the erroneous impression likely to
be received from the manner in which that
report was written, and to state my whole
knowledge of and connection with the case.
On the twelfth day of last October gentle
manly dressed person, equipped like an agent
of iewelry house, came into my store and
offered to sell goods. He represented himself
as an agent of jcwelry firm on Broadway
N. Y, and said that as his firm was about
to close business hei would sell cheap.
After examining his goods l purchased
to the extent of $3l.50. The goods so
purchased were placed in my cases, and
with the reserve stock, which is kept in the
safe. Since then have sold in the regular
course of business few dollars worth of
them. i have not sold any to Mr.. Callisher
or to anybody else who wanted to sell again,
except about $3.50 to small dealer Of this
city, who is a regular customer of mine. The
transaction, on my part, was II perfectly le-
gitimate one, such as any other merchant in
any kind of business would be likely to make
under similar circumstances The article in
the Star leads TO tho inference that pur-
chased the whole amount said to have been
stolen ($l,700), and sold them to other mer-
chants. did neither, and l had no suspicion,
of course that the goods were stolen. Judge
Smell in dismissng the charge against me fully
exonerated me from any suspicion in tho mat
ter, and | take this opportunity of protesting
against the unjust inference that may be
drawn from the Stars report.

An Inauguration Long TO be Remem-
uered.

An Inauguration Long to be Remem-
bered.
The presidential contest, are scarcely at
tended by greater spirit of rivalry than that
which during the past few years has sprung
up among tho merchants along the avenue.
That enterprise and pluck invariably win the
dag is forcibly shown in the unparalleled
success attending each new venture of the
Palais Royal. Now there comes to us news of
still another--this time one which we rejoice
over To-day will be marked as the great inau-
gural day ofa department in white goods. Spe-
cial sales will also continue Friday and Satur-
day, thus enabling those who may be crowded
out on Thursday to take advantage of similar
bargains offered for the two ensuing days.
Everywhere the charm ofnovelty prevails
goods never before brought to this city are
seen in lavish display.
The coming season brings among its novel
ties in their white goods by far the most ar
tistic designs in fancy, spotted, and brocaded
swiss of any we have yet seen-things so
sheer and lovely that it would be impossible for
one even to feel warm under the most glow
ing noontide sun.
An entirely new brand of goods has the
name Linon de Dacca, and comes plain, satin,
barred, or figured. Another novelty is i'll bro
cade satines having the appearance of the
finest damask. This will be extensively used
for polanaises or suitings, as taste may dictate.
To attempt justice to such n stock is fairly
bewildering in so limited q space; so, merely
taking bird's-eye view, we pass on to the
household linens. Here is trulya splendid as
sortment of napery of every description, from
the cheapest makes in the market to the
finest satiny damask-damask suggesting
feasts and all manner of good things.
Sheeting and shirting cottons, bleached and
unbleached, in all widths; pillow case mus
lins, towels of all grades and makes-in fact
all that the most exacting and fastidious
housewife could desire. Bottom prices every
where prevailing affords to even the owner
of the most slender purse an opportunity OF
closing with bargain.

Funeral OF Mr.. Hugh Pugh.

The funeral of Mr.. Hugh Pugh took place
from his late residence, No. 626 Q street
northwest, yesterday afternoon. The cere-
monies were peculiarly affecting, occurring as
they did just one week after the death of
Mrs. Pugh, at which time the deceased APP
peared to be in full health. Rev. O. =. Rams
dell, who conducted the services, spoke feel
ingly of the propinquity of the two deaths,
showing the uncertainty of life, and expressed
the belief that the severe shock and great grief
occasioncd by the death of his wife, who had
been his companion for over forty years, had
much to do with the sudden termina-
tion of Mr.. Pugh's life. The scene
at the cemetery was very touching,
the open grave, containing the romans
of the mother which had just been re-
moved from the vault, and by their side the
case ready to receive the body of the father.
The grief of the children was almost uncon-
troablc Floral tributes covered the casket,
the most noticeable being massive pillow at
tho head, with the simple inscription,
Father" and a sickle with n sheaf of grain,
the last being sent by the draughtsman's di-
vision in the patent office, in which Mr.. John
Pugh is employed. The pail bearers were the
same as oiliciated ut the funeral of Mrs. Pugh.
