will be able to supply great portion of the country with these delicacies. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: For many years Louisiana and Mississippi have been in the habit of boasting of the fish and erus- tacea on their Gulf shores, their oysters, shrimp and other marine delicacies. We have held that the Louisiana oysters, the Baratarians or Bayou Cooks, were without equal in flavor and delicacy, and superior to the finest found in the Chesapeake or along Long Island. In the last few years some energetic persons have discovered that our oyster fields were valuable commercial property, not designed simply to furnish the epicurss of New Orleans with few raw or fried, but to supply the whole South Sev- eral experiments made with the bivalves, both canned and in the shell, proved highly satisfactory. They were sent out in various portions of the South and met with favor; they went even as far as the Pacific Coast, and were deemed great delicacies there.

BEER DRINKIN

BEER DR1NA1NGs
 It is beginning to be suspected that beer is not quite so harmless 6 drink as it has been said to be. Much effort has been made to show that it is better to drink beer than whisky, and until lately it has been generally admitted that such is the case. Beer, we have been told, is soothing and full of health giving properties. We have been informed have reached the height it holds had not beer been the drink of the country. And all the topers have been advised to drink beer rather than whisky.
 But writer in the Scientific American does not hesitate to declare that beer is quite as active an agent for ruin as the more alco- holic liquors. He points out that the use of beer is found to produce 8 species of deg4ne- ration of all the organs, in which profound and deceptive fatty deposits, diminished cir culation, conditions of congestion and per version of functional activities and local in- fammations of both the liver and kidneys are constantly present. He goes on to say that intellectually stupor, amounting al most to paralysis, arrests the reason of the beer drinker, changing all the higher facul- ties into mere animalism, sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied only with paroxysms of an- ger that are senseless and brutal In appear ance the beer drinker may be the picture of health, but in reality he is most incapable of resisting disease. A slight injury, severe cold, or shock ts body or mind, will com monly provoke acute disease ending fatally Compared with inebriates who use different kinds of alcohol, he is more incurable and more generally diseased. The constant use of beer every day gives the system no recu- peration, but steadily lowers the vital forces t'It is our observation that beer drinking in this country produces the very lowest kind of inebriety, closely allied to criminal insan- ity. The most dangerous class of ruffians in our large cities are beer drinkers. Recourse to beer as a substitute for other forms of al- cohol merely increases the danger and fatal ity"
 This will be rather startling to those who have been calmly drinking beer in the belief that it was beneficial to them, but there is, we believe, much truth in it. Cold water still remains the healthiest and best drink.

About the only things in our Cotton Dress Goods Stock not likely to sell were a lot of fine Scotch Ginghams at 4oc a yard and some French Sateens at 35c. They were too fine quail ties and too high priced. They are just as fine now, but the price has been made 18c. They are bargain.
 We looked through the En- broidery Stock last week and found some short lengths some soiled pieces-some pieces which have been with us too long. We laid out a table full of bargains. In the lot are some at soc which were marked $I and $I.25, some at 25c which were 75c, some not marked down as much, but all very cheap and positive bargains.
