Other Things as Cheap as
 the Books.

We can sell dry goods Just as cheap as books, and a good many of them are cheaper to- day than the last time you looked at them. That's the way nowadays.
 All our 12Hc. and 15c. Chambrays down to JOG. That sort of thing is not quite pleas ing to those who bought them of us or of other dealers last week at the former prices. But we can't help it.
 Those soc. Homespuns are as cheap as the books-think of it-a 40 inch, elegant, stylish looking, rough cloth for soc. a yard.
 And the Silk and Wool Pon- gees at 65c.-silver gray and brown mixed-how often have you paid $1 for just such goods?
 The gentlemen's Summer Scarfs you will see exhibited near our east door you will quickly recognize as similar to other displays up and down the street; but you will find on in- quiry at the counter that you can have three of them for soc, while they are asking 25c. each for them in other places.
 We have Pique Scarfs at 25c. a dozen-yes, that "aogem" is not printers mistake-25c. a | dozen white ones included if desired.
 Here's one of the things we have to do occasionally. We have gathered together out of all the corners a mixed lot of ill-assorted sizes and various kinds of Children's Summer Undervests, and have laid them out on table from which you may take your choice at I5c. There's not a single one there that didn't cost us more than that, some of them much more.
 Nottingham and Madras Lace Curtains are in the rear of the store near where the books are, and they (the Curtains) you will find to be almost as cheap as the books. They are cheap in different way, however. The books, incredible as 1t may seem, pay us a profit; but we are sor- ry to say the curtains don't. We had somehow got in too large a stock of them, and-you know the rest. If you need any, come now while we are at it, and gee your share of the T0IIIndor

The ladies of this country can
avail themselves of the opportunity
presented by the visitation of the
seventeen year locusts, to improve
their beauty. The women Of Cir.
cassia are regarded as the most
beautiful in the world. Their food
is largely of the kind Of which John
the Baptist partook, locosts and
wild honey. In the portion Of Asia
where they live, locusts are aerv-
ed Up in various styles, and con-
stitute one of the leading articles
of food. They are stewed in goats
or mares milk and are said to form
a dish that can scarcely be distin.
guished from one Of stewed oysters.
They are fried in olive, broiled
on Goals, and mixed with dates, arc
baked after the manner of nince pie.
Large quantities Of locusts are also
dried, and afterward %pulverised,
mixed With millet meal, and made
Into loaves, which arc baked IN rude
owens. These loaves serve the pur.
pose of both bread and meat. Dried
locusts are articles Of commerce
in many parts Of Asia and Africa,
and are often transported Gu eamela
long distances.

WHY Bismark is What He Is.

Bismarck has explained why he is
a royalist. 1t is his piety that
prevents him from being q republl'
can. He says.
If were not a Christian ! would
not serve the King another hour.
If l did not obey my God and put
my trust in Him my respect for
earthly rulers would be but small.
I have enough to live Upon, and as
a private man I should enjoy as
much consideration as / desire. Why,
then, should l exhaust myself with
unwearyiug labor in this world ?
Why expose myself to difficulties,
unpleasantness and ill.treatment if |
had not the feeling that / must do
my duty before God and for His
sake If l did not believe in a
divine government OF the world
which had predestined the German
nation to something great and good
I would abandon the trade Of d.
plomacy at once, Or rather l should
never have undertaken it. / do not
know whence my sense Of duty
should come except from God. Ii
ties and decorations have no charm
for me. The confident belief in a
life after death--that is it--that is
why / should by nature be a republi-
can. All the steadfastness with
which for this ten years ! have rests.
ted every conceivable absurdity has
been derived OILY from my resolute
faith. Take this faith from me, and
you take my country too. Z
How willingly / would leave it all I!
l am fond of country life, of the
fields and of the woods. Take away
from me my belief i'll my personal
relation to God, and | ain the man
to pack up my things Tomorrow to
escape to Varzin and look after my
crops.

AUDITOR STEELE has declared that
tax collectors, in making adiudica'
tons to the State or property sold
for nonpayment Of taxes, are not to
pass a separate act for each piece
of property thus adjudicated, but
they are to embrace all the sales in
one act. The Auditor holds that
the act Of sales, or process verbal,
adds nothing to the force and effect
Of the adjudication, but is intended
only to afford proof Of it. This
ruling will save the State a large
amount of costs-the difference
between the fee for one act and
several hundreds--States.

The P%ardoning Power.

From time to time we see In the
papers that Executive clemency has
been exercised in favor of some
inmate Of the p%eniteutiary.. We are
of the opinion that not enough
prudence and circumspection is used
as the gravity Of the the subject
requires. Under the moral decad.
ence Of our jury system, it is a
dif6cnlt matter to bring offenders to
Justice. Their conviction is obtain
ed only after great labor by the
officers entrusted with their posecu.
ton aud after great expense to the
respective parishes where their
crimes have been committed. Ii
should therefore, be only when thor
oughly satisfied that the applicant
for pardon is worthy Of executive
clemency, that the Judge. District
Attorney and Board of pardon
should recommend such an one to
the Governor. Neither the infu
ence nor opportunities of friends Of
the condemned should weigh q
feather. Facts and facts alone
should be required and sought after,
Under the present working Of the
pardonlng system, the poor and
friendless stands but little chance Of
that Executive elemency Of which
they are, in many instances, a thou
sand times more worthy than those
who are dismissed from the walls o.
penitentiary.- MarksviIle Review.
