In consequence of the general stagna-
ton in business the jewelry trade has to
bear its share, and many importers and
manufacturers have been trying 70 realize
on the stock to meet their payments,
have been able to secure several lots Of
Ladies' and Gents Watches and various
assorted lots of Jewelry at considerable
reduction from usual prices. Yet, to car
~ this additional stock is not profitable
at all. The only way to make anything
of these purchases, is if l can again I'M
load, hence l will offer genuine bargains
in these goods. l intend to sell them at
manufacturers and importers actual
cost, which will leave me fair margin
and afford my patrons unusual chances
to secure excellent goods at low prices.

l had carelessly exposed myself and
sustained a very severe and tight cold on
my chest and in my throat. procured
Allcock's Porous Plasters and applied one
on the chest, well up on the throat, and
relief came readily; the soreness of my
chest was removed, and my vocal organs
were kept clear tho entire past winter,
enabling me to fulfill public engagements

No more may be said than that AllcOck's

Some Good ADVICE.

DON'T believe all that you read. Be
cause you "saw it in the paper is no
evidence Of veracity. Truth pays better
than falsehood, and is just as cheap. If
you ever find out that l have ever mis-
represented one iota, will give you the
best in my store as a gift. When | state
that my stock of Gents, Youths and
Boys Clothing is unique and special, l
speak solid facts. When ] say that my
goods are made to order from materials
selected By myself, 1 MEAN 1T. When l
say that / Will guarantee as neat a fit as
you can get in any tailor shop, Pill DO
1T. Furthermore, if a suit does not fit
you exactly, I'll make il fit you at my en-
peRSe. When l tell YOU that my assOrt-
ment Of styles and patterns is very large
and superb, l am willing to leave it to
YOU. When l emphatically protest
against your paying as much or more for
inferior or poorly made up goods than l will
charge YOU for mine, do it in the interest
Of my patrons. 159 BroughtOn street,

The importation of eggs from Ger
many and France, of onions from Ber-
muda; of cabbages from Holland, into
such vast and fertile country as the
United States, is one of the curious enor-
MATES of our civilized life. But these
are not all the articles imported, which
can be raised in the greatest oundance
at r. comparatively little labor.
In regard to imported cabbages New
York paper says, the origin Of importa-
ton was a scarcity of vegetables about
three years ago, and an effort was made
to bring over all kinds of European gar
den stuff, but cabbage was the only
thing that proved a success. The ship
ments are made every fourteen days, and
range from 10000 to 250, 900 head in
each. The importation this season d
red cabbage for picking has not been SO
Large, the aggregate being about loo, 900.
These cabbages are much smaller than
the white cabbage, but are equally COM
pact. They are brought from Holland.
and shipments are made every ten days.
The demand being more limited, the
importation has been restricted to pre-
vent glut in the market.

The enormous disproportion between
crimes committed and those punish ed
is topic in the Century magazine for
April, and it ought to be Of engrossing
interest to all good citizens. 1t seems
that l, 500 murders wers committed dur
ing 1888, and / 1856 in the year previous.
The Century does not tell us how many
of the murderels of 1882 were executed,
but it does give the figures for the year
just past, during which period ninety
three murderers, some of whom must
have come over from 1882, paid the
penalty OF their crimes. The conclu-
sion deduced from the fact that less
than ono in fourteen is hanged is that
"the deterrent influence Of punishment
cannot be said to be very powerful"

I'm an interview Mr. W Fl Vanderbilt ap-
proves the Pennsylvania roads demand to cut
grain rates, because it will bring bring the cutting
roads to their senses. ia regard to the stock
market he sasid: "Ihe conditions of the mar
ket shows thastfsere are no stock there Bro
kers who used to borrow "a, 000, 600 are no W
borrowing only 81, 100000 They haven't got
the securities, and customers don't want to
sell Stock pays better than the interest money.
There was another large reduction in the price
of grain at Chicago to-day, and I am told that
four hundred cars were engaged recently
These things may start up business. The
grain prospects in the west are promising. May
wheat sold in Chicago to-day at SS cents. If
there is anything that will ruin this country it
is grain speculation. 1t is getting foreign
consumers to run OFF to other countries. Afew
years ago India raised 2 co., GOO bushels of grain.
Last year the production was about 5000, 600
bushels, wasn't it? We ought to sell all we can
abroad, and not let other countries get in ahead
of us. I don't believe there will be SO many
railroads built this year as there have been. A
law ought to be passed by which, if am pres
ident of railroad, cannot be president of q
construction CONF any organized to build it I
ought to be made to pay back profits made in
such case on the railroads. Some Of these
will be made to pay back, think.

rapidly. Mr.. Schel was in tears at noon on the
26th. Four sightless girls had just finished .
hymn at his bedside They had come in re-
Spouse to his dying wish. The touching way
in which they had rendered the hymn seemed
to affect deeply the lawyer, statesman and fin
ancier nearing his death, and he almost
sobbed The scene moved Mrs. Schell and the
relatives present to tears. Mr.. Schen thanked
the young woman, aud then feelingly babe
