READ CAREFULLY.

We are now building an extension of Box
III feet to our already magnificent establish
ment, which, when finished, will give us the
finest Show Rooms in the United States. We
have the finest Electric Light In the country,
making ut night our entire building as bright
as the finest day in sunlight. No heat of gas,
or from the engine running the Electric Light,
as one would imagine, because the store Is
cooled by 10 large Patent fans distributed
throughout the building, making breeze
equal to that felt on one Of our steamers while
sailing against the wind on the Potomac. All
of this is worth seeing, and you are cordially
invited to come and enjoy the breeze, whether
or no you wish to purchase. We have come to
the conclusion that we have more goods and
less money than we want to carry out our new
enterprise of running our building through to
Eighth street. We shall open this new ad-
diton, with new goods only. We shall com
mence to run off our present stock, without
regard to cost. Our assortment Is large, much
larger than necessary to carry. We will, must
and shall sell. Call and be convinced that 1t
is a pleasure to deal with LANSBURGH IL
BRO. No misrepresentation are made. Every
article is guaranteed as represented or money
refunded.

crowded Iowa Circle and the avenues radi
ating from it last evening when Company
b, Capital City Guards, and the Nation
al (colored) Band took their placesin front
of General Logan's residence. A COM
mittee of colored men entered the house
and were received in the parlor, W. Cal
vim Chase and Charles Marshall making
the presentations. A. st. "A. Smith de-
livered an address expressing the joy of
the colored people at General Logan's re-
turn to the Senate, their appreciation of
his championship of their cause and their
hope that he will be called to a higher
office four years hence. General Logan
walked to the front door and was greeted
with tumultuous applause. When it had
subsidized he thanked the people for their
congratulations and expressing his appre-
citation of the spirit prompting the demon
stration. AS long as this Government
guarantees rights to any class of citizens
and fails to enforce them in all places and
at all times it is that far failure. His
energy, his strength, and his influence,
would always be devoted to the work of
securing equal rights for all classes of
American citizens. AT the conclusion OF
his address he invited the crowd in to
shake hands, and moresthan one thousand

of T1E CRITIC well know, are just now

no eager desire to enter upon their offices
They would rather wait until the first of
July when they can get some money.
Therefore they have in n number of in
stances failed TO take the oath of Office.
One of the most prominent OF these APP
pointecs did not know what he was bring
ing upon himself. Not taking the oath of
Office and not entering upon his duties, the
Republican whom he will supersede sent

 Made Against Him by the Notorious

Seeking Quarters.


 correspondent writes from Fort Keogh, M. T.: When the gallant Fifth infantry first came to this part of the country, in 1876, they passed their first winter in huts built of rongh logs. The weather was terrible for people who had spent several years in the latitude of Fort Leavenworth, ,and sometimes, to drive away the cold, kill time, or some other equally good reason, some of them would interview John Barleycorn. Upon one occasion one of the old bachelor officers of the regiment, whom I will call Brown, and who is not now in the service, was vending his way homeward late at night after indulging little too freely in fire water, and owing to the similarity in the appearance of the huts, mistook another officers for his own. Not being able to open the door, he commenced hammering upon it and awaken ed it's occupant, who got up and went to the door, when the following dialogue was in- dulged in:
 stWhat do you want2''
 '1 want to get into my house."
 HThis Is not your house."
 s'Whose house is it?'
 'tSmith's."
 ssOh? we'll, good night, Smith,"
 Goodnight" After smith nad got comfortably settled in bed, and had smoothed down the goose-Hesh a little, he heard a knock at his back door, Disguised, he arose again, and rather gruffiy asked:
 'sWho is there2'
 sfBrown."-
 "Well, what do you want nowa" "I want to come in." 'tNow look here, Brown; told you this was not your house. and wish you would go home and not bother me any mo1e!n "Whose house is ita' "Why, Smith's." HOh, goodnight" } Smith had hardly closed his eyes before he
