House moving and Raising.

Mr.. @. L. Saers, the we'll known house raiser,
has been bueily engaged in moving a number
OF frame houses from the site near Howard
University to make room for the new reser-
voir The past week he has also raised Ave
houses In different parts OF the city, including
Two good-szed frames In Georgetown, the
property of Mr.. Cruit, whioh have been raised
three feet and six inches. Mr.. Saers Is now
engaged In raising two.story frame TO the
height of I'VE feet for DR.. Bushnell on Q street,
between Eighth and Ninth streets northwest.
In almost every instance tho houses are raised
without cracking the walls particle. Mr..
Saers has been in this business for a number
OF years and gives entire satisfaction. His
work speaks for Itself,

They walked IN the clover haunted folds
weary wording and dainty child;
He Gated and worn with the love OF self,
She fresh as the dew on the upland Wild.
He stole the blush from tho sweet wild rose,
fair;
That faint ofpoison lurked In the bloom,
And hung on the breath OF the summer air.
That life is not as good as II seems;
That faith and virtue rarer grow;
That the worm ia hiding with greedy mouth
AT the heart OF all that we love or know.
And q shade fell over the summer nelds,
And the sun In Its brightness seemed 70
wane.
Her hearts song faltered-alasi for her,
His doubt crept into the perfect strain.

PICTORIAL HISTORY, ROMANCE AND
PHILOSOPHY OF CELEBRATED
AMERICAN CRIMINALS.

Among the announcements OF new
publications for the present season 10
one Embracing the tragedy of American
history from the foundation or the
the republic to the present day.
American History has in every Pc
riod been distinguished by startling
phases. Boldness of conception, breadth
of plan, energy of execution, tenacity
and courage characterize her annals.
These traits are illustrative not only OF
her laudable achievements, and OF
those who advance her civilization
her commerce., schools, ehurches-her
| material, moral and intellectual pros.
perity, but they characterize as well
those whose efforts have beea to put
dom. and destroy. That the latter con-
stitute a material portion of that hIsto'
~. one of necessary instruction and III
terest to every thoughtful reader and
student who would be informed 10 his
country's annals, is a fact which all will
recognize. :,
"The proper study o fmankiRd is man."
wrote the Poet and Moralist, Alexander
pope. This work presents man, the
most complex Of all subjects, in his
startling phases, and as a feature OF
American history, apt in its scope and
design, it is of absorbing interest.
Gibbon. picturing truly the crimes,
| effeminancy and righteousness of the
later Roman Empire-Gillis pointing
out the terrible degeneraey Of the de.
magogues of Athens, and Hume pictur.
ing the brutal crimes of England of the
18th, Hth and 18th centuries, perform
ed the part of wise teachers in warning
their c%ountrymen against similar lapses
from the straight and narrow paths o.
honor, honesty and truth. In a similar
spirit has the author of History, Ro'
nance and Philosophy of Great Ameri'
can Crimes and Criminals" portrayed
the typical crimes and criminals of the
various eras of our country.
The work is in the main Biographical
and embraces among others the Grimes
land Conspiracies of John A. Murrell
the great Southwestern Land Pirate
the Gigantic Schemes of Col. Monroe
Edwards, the Napoleon of Forgers, etc.
etc. the Mountain Meadow Massacre
Murders and Burglaries of Ruloff, the
Great Philologist /; the Murder of DR.
Parkman by Prof. Webster the Gun
ningham- Burdell Mystery ; the Lowery
Gang, the Swamp Angels of North Car,
olina the Colt-Adams Murder Hill
Evans Feud in Kentucky Career o
Cullen Raker, the Arkansas Desperate
the Helen Jewett-Frank Rivers Murder
Ben Thompson, of Texas, the Man-Slay'
er; the Bender Family, the Kansas
Fiends James and Younger Brothers
etc., etc, etc.
Its pictorial feature is one of more thar
usual attraetion-embraeing 16l supert
engravings including personal portraits
of the celebrated criminals.
It is sold by subscription. The can,
wasting agent for such a work will inG

that will make his business assuredly
profitable. N. D. Thompson & Co., st

10 TAX Payers.


We are we'll aware that the article
essential with all the above class of CT
tizen is not oyer plentiful /; but tax"
payers should bear in mind that the
revenue law places enormous costs
upon those who do not pay their taxes
before the 3lst of December, and these
costs often exceed the tax proper. 1t
is not within the power of the tax
collector to stay execution !; so no one
should be dilatory, expecting exemp-
tion from these costs through his
friendship with The officials. Taxes
should be paid by preference, as they
rank second to no other obligation, and
the law strikes in the most direct route
for speedy settlement. Only a few
days more remain in which to pay
without costs.-Ouachita Telegraph.
