A RARE BUSINESS OrENING.--Thcre

take to make specially of children's cloth
ing. When we refer to that business we
mean every species of outside clothing worn
by both sexes from birth until they are say
twelve years old. II some one with taste
were to advertise the fact that they would
make speciality of the business, supply
themselves with the latest patterns and fash

would have, without break, more work
than one could d. and as it would be an I'M

rewarded, or better, than is that of our tail

community that long remain untitled, but
when once taken hold of by some one of tact
and energy, proves to be one OF the most re-

several items "cribbcd, whole from The

oversight, but when we are required to &C
count for this same thing in every issue and
further find other items reprinted with 80
slight change as to leave the theft patent,
then we conclude that it has been adopted as
a rule, and that it has not occurred through
any oversight. 1t is mere courtesy and one
that costs not little trouble, that is true, but
if the rule is bad one, it should be abolished
by common consent and until it is, its in
fringement will be considered mark of dis
respect. 1t is not that we like to see our

that we dare not because we do not resent
