reason why farmer should not grow

8i7 cases of tobacco in tho building mono

Harmon and David llarnish 40 cases OF

aud cases by G. G. Shaub ogarmaker,

1t is not known whether Murphy & Co

Mad blood BreakIng Out.

There .s a noisome scandal In England
because noble lord Is indicted for inde-
cent assault upon housemaid within
gates where he was guest. 1t is pre-
dicted that IL his demand to be tried by
his peers is yielded to, he will get Of, as
that sort of citizens-made wondrous
kind by fellow feeling g--are expected to
condone such offenses as his, 80 low Is
the moral tone OF the English nobility
at present. 1t looks as though Lord st.
Leonard was being made the scapegoae
Of a social system OF which ne is sne
very natural blossom and fruit. The
Prince OF Wales, the heir apparent ana
who in the order Of nature will soon
be England's king and ought, meantime
10 be the Grst gentleman Of the realm, Is
we'll known to be profligate and liber-
time: whose debauches are the shame OF
his own country and, when transferred
20 Paris, transcend the most fragrant
native orgies Of that metropolis Of reck
less dissipation and subtle vice. He Is
over there now, engaged in ''painting
the town red, )" by giving free rein to the
Inherited vices OF an ignoble line OF
royal ancestors aud while it is claimel
that attendants carefully guard him
from attacks of dynamite, it would not
be surprising il he yet encountered cas-
tigation with a cowhide.
His royal mother once had the respect
and sympathy of all Christendom in her
son's waywardness, but her conduct of
late years has been highly indiscreet and
silly, to say the least Of 1t; and her re
cent ridiculous performance in seeming
to carry off notorious old Continental
roue from his lately contracted left
handed marriage, to be the guest Of her
palace, II not the bridegroom Of another
daughter, has greatly weakened her hold
upon popular confidence and esteem
With the fountains of social life thu
poisoned in England, no wonder tha
the stream is polluted and Mr.. Thack
eray's intended compliment to Americ;
loses much of its force. He said that tn
thing here which pleased him most wa
to find homes as pure, firesides as genia
dul NitluCo tS hChbiC 10 Al
England.
1t was the same pungent satirist VIII
told his countryman. Of a royal Georg
who was "in youth, manhood and OIL
age, gross, low and sensual !" of anothe
ga fribble dancing in spangles !" and, G
an earlier one of this bad lot, he wrot
that when pallid death seized him IN hi
travelling chariot it was the conceit {
one If his concubines that his spiri
metempsychosei into great ravel
came flying or hopping back to cheer be
grief. Mr.. Thackeray INDUCED the hor
thatwhen this chaste addition TO Englis
aristocracy died and her plate and plur
der went over to her relations in Hanovt
her heirs took the bird too, to soar owe
Herrnhausen. 1t looks moreas thoug
he was now iapping his black wins
against the windows Of Windsor.

walnut and oak, and capped with black
walnut. At the rear of each front office
| will DO built brick vaults with niue inch
walls 10 enclose tho safes. Tho offices will
also be furnished with running water,
closets and other conveniences, and

apparatus TO heat not only the mayors and

a Saturday Afternoon Late market.

The executive committee of the Eastern
market has decided to try an experime ent
of Saturday afternoon market, for the
benefit of those who do not receive their
weeks wages until and p. m. OF that
day. No provision has heretofore been
made for the convenience of the large
body of the working classes who receive
their wages too late to take advantage OF
the early or late morning markets, and 1t
is believed the enterprising' move of the
Eastern market executive committee will
be promptly followed by increased patron
age from these people. TIE first market
under the new system will be held next
Saturday afternoon, aud will begin at 8
O'Clock. No extra charge will be made to
regular stall holders. The early morning
markets at the same place will continue as
usual on Tuesdays Thursdays and Satur-
days
