A Washington dispatch snys the
President feels kccn'y the DETECTION of
the Independent Republican press in
New York. When such men as Curtis
and others equally reputable declared
that rs long ms he carried ont his civil
service plcdg $, hc should have their
support, the President believed them.
That they have had n good deal Of in
ilucnce over him cannot be denied.
Penrson's rc.nppointment in New York
is directly attributed to the influence of
this class; but rs soon as they had
killed Blaine, because they hated him,
they returned To their old affiliations.
The President feels he has kept the
promises he made TO the country, no
matter what others may do. The first
intipntion he had Of the coming defec-
ton was the notice Curtis gave him In
Hnrper's Weekly that the Mug-wuDips
would not vote for the Democratic nom.
incc for Governor Of New York this
Fall. The President would not ut first
believe they meant IL, bul he knows !
now.

No one who has failed to try it knows what con-
veniencc this is to the public. Instead Of being
obliged 10 make a trip to town, or to annoy some
city friend with your shopping, a few lines to us will
bring the goods desired in prompt return.
In sending directly to us no obligation is incurred.
and if s goods do not suit they can be returned.
The cost of postage, freight or express charges is
the only extra expense, and amounts to but little as
compared with the saving usually made in buying
from US.
Customers are served, in fact, even more carefully
by mail than those who shop in person, as we con-
slider ourselves responsible, not only fer the quality,
but also the suitability of the goods.

power has yet been conceived to enable the
human eye to see one Of the atoms OF musk,

not even be imagined, and the same grain
Of musk undergoes absolutely no diminu-
tion in weight. A single drop of the oil of

sappho and Homer sung and old Euripdes

Byron, Mr.. CoX's poetic predecessor,

subsequent events, seems to have been
touched by the spirit of prophecy.
Lord Byron altered his Tyre to the fol

'Tle Oils Of Greece the Oils Of Greece,

Where grew The arts Of war and peace,
Where DclO- rose and PhHbus sprang;

substituting in the first line of this

that in many parts Of the world, ac-
