Where are Dry Goods Cheapest Now !?

This must be a hard question to answer, if one tries to make 1t out from the dealers advertisements. What with gigantic sales" in one store, sssurging tha Usands" in an- other. "Fruit of the Loom Cotton for nothing" in a thirds and so ons what with every one asserting Yourselves among the rest) that his prices are ''the lowest in the city, ssthe lowest ever knOwns" &c.s it is not easy to tell (frOm the papers at Ieast) where the goods really are cheapest. At this time we are all trying our s'Ieve1 best'' to get rid of what is left of our winter stock. We are all willing to sell such goods now without prOfits and many kinds even at 8 loss. Stand ard makes of bleached cotton do not need to be closed out IT any one of us sold all our Fruit of Loom cotton to-day, we should buy more to, morrow and the selling of it at 6 1-2c, or Pc, or whatever the whim of the moment may suggest. IS a device tO make people suppose that other goods are being sold in like proportion. For our own part we have a higher opinion of the in- teIIieence of our customers than to see any advantage in such trick. even if we were willing t0 resort to it.
 Let us suggest a way in which judgment may be formed as to where dry goods are cheapest at this clOsing-Out time. The firm that is most successful in closing out a seasons goods is certain to be the one that makes the lowest prices at the right time. Now on this point we can appeal with con fidence to the publics for we believe it is a fact noticed and often re- marked by all, that our stock is always the cleanest and freshest looking in town. We have fewer shOp-WOrn goods than any other store of the size. For instance to- day we have not a yard of last years sateens to sell while others are showing great stacks of them. And so with the winter goods we are now selling out. We are mak- ing the prices on them so LOW that next winter you will not find any old stock offered you by us, or none to speak of. People who still heed winter underwear, or dress goods, or blankets or anything of the kind, will therefore consult their own interest by buying of us now.
 The new stocks opened now are Ladies' Muslin Underwear, Ham, burg EmbroiderieJ. and Linens. These we do not pretend to be closing out, but we make sure to have D ices on them all at least as low as the lowest in town. Nobody else is closing out these goods any more than we are, and we do not intend to let anyone beat us on new goods COttons are retailsd d cheap because they cost less to-day than at any time since the war.

Pan1c in 8 aIenagerie.

terrible panic occurred at 8 menagerie yesterday which, during the New Year week, is exhibiting at Bolton. It appears that about o'clock a '' lion tanner :" entered the den occupied by tigers and before he had time to close the door one of the tigers slipped between h1s legs and bounded into the middle of the menagelie, which was thronged at the time with spectators. scene of the widest excitement followed. The tiger, becoming more and more enraged, rushed about the tent, but on the approach of the lion tanner it slunk into corner, when attempts were made by the regular attendants to secure it by covering it with 8 large empty barrel. In the meanwhile the mass of people who had obtained admission to the exhibition during the afternoon ran to the steps leading from the msnagerie. Many were thrown on the ground and not few were trampled upon. The force of the crush was such at one corner tkst the boarding between two cara vans was thrown down and through the ing and faintiDg, while others came pour
 pg out by the main entrance. causing intense commotion among the people collect cd outside. In the confusion one young woman was thrown against cage, whereupon tigress in it immediately thrust out its paw, tore of her bonnet and lacerated her neck She was taken to the inirmary. While all this was going on the escaped tiger had been secured by means of the barrel, and it was replaced in it's den. The space in the center had scarcely been cleared when a re- port spread that the animal had escaped 8 second time Again there was 8 frightful rush among those inside the menageris. The rumor was, however, groundless. The boarding broken down in the first rush was replaced, and the band having begun to play tranquility was restored.

The clergymen of Indianapolis have set 8 good example for the clergymen of other cities to follow in regard to funerals. They recommend that funerals be held only on week days and in private dwellings. with the least display possible, that the friends shall take leave of their dead in private and that the remains shall not be publicly exhibited, and in order to reduce expense, that the burial shall be privately performed on the day succeeding the funeral services. Tuner als are too often needlessly painful and ex- pensive.

l enected, but the danger IS considerably les sened. The pulse of the patient inhaling the mixture is calm and the temperature of the body is not sensibly lowered, while in only four cases out of twenty-two was the slight est appearance of nausea produced. In MT. Joha Bright's Birmingham speech he utterly condemned Henry Georges land prop ositions, saying that they were the most ex- | traordinary and impracticable and the wild est ever imported by an American inventor. MT. Georges scheme began with hitherto unheard of general system of confiscation, which Mir. Bright believed would end in i'm measurable evil and confusion. The plan, he said, was simply an insult to the intelligence of the English people. Nevertheless the system of land tenure must be altered so as to enable the land to come gradually and naturally into the hands of those most re- quiring and desiring it, most able to pay for and best able to work it for the public ad- vantage. Englishmen should try these re- forms before attempting wild and extrava- gant schemes.

 bill reducing the fees of the Sandy Hook pilots twenty five per cent. Accompanying the bill was g statement that the receipts for 1883, less the fees of the commissioners, divided by the number of pilots, gave an in- come of $4, 107 80 for each. Then there was 8 demand for the amount of the net income instead of the gross receipts, whereupon a member of the committee proceeded to SUD- ply the information demanded. He con- putsd the expenses on liberal scale, and showed that after making the most generous allowances and reducing the fees twenty five per cent, there would still be nearly $3, GOO year for each pilot. This is certainly fair pay. It is high time that these pilots were prevented from burdening commerce in the way they have.
 The terrible accident at Ashtabula in 1876 is brought to mind by decision which has just been delivered. Of all the suits brought against the company for damages, but one, that of brakeman, Vosburg, has been car ried to the final court of adjudication, the court of appeals in New York, where yer dict against the company w6th $5.OOO dam ages has recently been sustained. The case came before the court of appeals on 8 ques- tion of negligence on the part of the railway company. The latter acquired the bridge by purchase, and therefore contended it was not responsible for defects in construction. but had performed it's duty by occasional inspec- ton to see that everything was in place, and that no signs of weakness were apparent. This plea the court overrules in a long de- cision, the main part of which is that, wheth- CT built or purchased, the company must take care to know or ascertain the safety of design and construction of it's property, and shall be charged with knowledge of defects which competent examination would have disclosed.

The government telegraph in Canada has not been striking success. The expendl- lures last year were $55,O00, while the re- ceipts were only $27, 900, showing loss of over fifty per cent. It is said, however, that many of these lines are in remote quarters, and, indeed, the telegraph business appears to have been overdone in Canada, the pro- portion of offices to population being one to every 1914 inhabitants, which is almost double the ratio in the United States, and ex- ceeds even the proportion in Switzerland with it's dense population.
 At the last meeting of the Academy of Sciences in Paris M. Paul Bert gave the re- suIts of some researches which he has recent ly made respecting the administration of chloroform, particularly to persons of weak heart in surgical operations M. Bert is of the opinion that the quantity of an anas- thetic is less important to observe than the tension of the vapor inhaled and the propor- tion of air with which it is mixed. He has constructed an apparatus with which he ad- ministers proportion of eight grammes of chloroform to hundred litres of air. Ex- psriments which he has made with this have shown that not only is saving of chloroform
