A RELIGIOUS PACK OF CARDS.
Their Service as Bible. Almanac nnd
Doek sf CsDmsn Prayer 10 n soldier.

A private soldier by the name oi
Richard Lee was taken before the
magistrate at Glasgow for playing
cards during divine service. The ac-
count ol it is thus given:
A sergeant commanded the soldiers at
the church. and when the parson had
read the prayers he took the text.
Those who had bible took it out, but
this soldier had neither bible nor COM
mon prayer book; but, pulling out n
pack of cards, he spread them out be-
fore him. He looked first at one card
and then at another. The sergeant
saw him. and said:
"Rchard put up the cards; this is no
place for them.
"Never mind that, said Richard.
When the service was over the con-
stable took Richard n prisoner, and
brought him s,eforc the mayor.
''well, what have you brsvght the
soldier here forl' says the mayor"
"For playing cards in church.
Well, soldier, what have you to say
for yourselfl'
"Much, sir. ] hope"
"very good; if not, / will punish
you more than ever man was pun
nished."
II have been,' said the soldier,
"about siA weeks on the march. l
have no bible or common prayer book;
have nothing but a pack Of cards,
and l hope to satisfy your worship of
the purity Of my intentions.
Then spreading the cards before the
mayor. he began with the ace.

that there is but one God.

to those contemplating purchasing.
Our prices are all extended, and Gus
toners have no difficulty in estimating
the exact amount Of their bills. Ouss
prices are based to hold good for each
month, until the next Herald is issued.
As We have trade that requires the
issuing of over thirty-six thousand
Herald's year, which are all sent
out, postage paid, at letter rates, the
expense is ne small matter. Al the
circulation is constantly on the in-
crease, we take it that our efforts are
appreciated.
Fifth-No house in our line enjoys
the large trade that we do, nor 10 there
any SO well situated to supply the
wants of our out-of-town trade. Our
experience in this line give Us superior
knowledge over younger firms. The
greatest care is taken in the filing of
country orders. Our object is to
supply your wants in such manner
as to retain you as permanent custo-
mer. While it is to be expected that
customers who always purchase for
cash are likely to change around, we
can safely boast of our success in re-
tanning our customers when once they
favor us with their orders. A com.
parison of our prices and goods with
those of other dealers cannot fail to
result favorable to US.

A GREAT SUCCESS.

Trading through the mails with out
of-town customers is by no means an
experiment in business. 1t has been
successfully carried ON for years by
many houses in the dry goods business,
most Of the purchases being sent by
mail or express. The advantages to
be gained by bringing the customer
and merchant together through the
medium of the mails, even in the re-
mote part of California, Nevada and
the Territories, must be mai if I'D.
First-We claim there is great
saving to the purchaser over the
prices charged BY country dealers.
Second Our goods always turn out
fresh and are more desirable than the
shop worn stock that moves slowly
from the shelves Of dealers who have
only limited trade for such goods.
Thirdly trading with us you
always get the benefit of market
changes. Rarely, if ever, does the
country merchant make any change in
the retail price on account of decline
in the price from the manufacturer.
Forth-We issue q Grocery Herald
and Consumers Guide on the 6rst of
each month, for the information of
out-of-town customers, which is sent
free to any address upon application,
showing all recent changes, the prob
able advance or decline on certain

Charge 1t to Bunthorne.

Yesterdays Journal, in its account of the trial
of Dock Sing, the Seymour Chinaman, who
wound up big opium smoke with an ornate
American drunk. the chief establishment being
a Remington revolver Of mammoth proportions,
included the name Of Chang Fun the Massachn-
setts-avenue laundryman as participant. The
early morning promptness with which Mr.. Fun
called at the Office, his wild desire to see the man
what write this'-at which hour the reporter,
unconscious of wrong doing, was enjoying ma
lures sweet restorer-was an imitation of the
American style, we'll calculated to deceive Mr..
Fun however, was net as unreasonable as the
'misrepresented' citizen usually is nor SO pain
fully voluble. When hours after, he found the
reporter, he actually accorded him an oppportu-
nifty to talk back. The reporter gave the infor-
nation that the eminent Mr.. Bunthorne, attorney
for Dock Sing had furnished the name of Chang
Fun as one of the ceebrants with the Seymour
Chinaman Mr.. Fun's handsome yellow counte-
nance glowed with indignation, after which it
assumed an honest expression of injury He
not only protested and with an earnestness that
carried conviction with it, that he was not of the
party, but that he never Shit the pipe as opium
smoking is called and had never in his life ex-
perimented with whisky, beer or anything intox-
icating. Mr.. Fun is good looking, intelligent
young Chnaman, who talks English fairly we'll
and is learning more of the language every week
at an orthodox Sunday-school He thought it no
more than fair that he should be set right with
his many American friends and customers and

Mr.. Fun has suffered should be charged to Mr.
