There is in England society for the
suppression Of basphemous literature and
it has suddenly wakened up to a sense Of
its awful responsibility. The society has
been letting philosophy and science run riot
until its members are panied to find wide
spread in6delity and rank atheism in Eng
lands cultivated families, and they have
taken a big contract to suppress the works
of Huxley Tyndall, Darwin, Herbert Spen-
Ger, Mill, Strauss, swlnburne and othe,
Mneteenth-century lights, as blasphemous
and demoralizing. They propose to bring
their cases as fast as their funds will ALLOW
against the authors who live and the pub
lshers who continue to print the blasphe-
nous and pernicious literature. If the So
ciety lives long enough and Its funds hold
out 1t will collect and burn all the grea,
books Of the century and start the world
back towards the dark ages.
Curiosity prompted 8 TO step into lie
establishment Of Mrs. s. Williamson yester-
day, to learn something about those new
"crushedn fruit shades and other novelties
in the fancy goods line, which are now be-
coming the rage in fashionable circles and
we were firmly impressed with the opinion,
that for things of besuty in the way Of mil

scription, every hue, every form, and they are
all srrsyed IN manner that catches the eye
and compells expressions of admiration even
from one who has no millinary education.

things pertaining TO her business, and che
carries the heaviest stock of notions and
fancy goods generally in the city. This
large stock, arranged with excellent taste
and tact in show cases, on shelves, wires,
stands, and counters, presents scene that
is dazzling in its uniform beauty, bewilder-

entering the store is the name of the pro-

When, after expressing our admiration OF

! little hsttered at the evident correctness
If our judgement. But no idea CT the real

rise ladies to visit Mrs. Wiliamsons estab-
ishment to-day which is the last Of her
grand opening" days.
