has been nominated for President Her platform demands equal rights for Women, Education and Accomplishment being a potent factor. She demands as starter that the men purchase for their wives an elegant Shoninger Piano or Organ. She believes in freer trade, and thinks they ought to buy low. Knowing the extra ad- vantages Shoninger & Co possess in their line of goods she does not hesitate to give them the preference over all competitors Buy Piano for what it is worth is her motto At the same time company with business stability is preferred over those who shin along like reed shaken before the wind and can in no wise be responsi- ble for what they sell, but instead spend what little money they have purchasing some of Shoninger's stock sold long years ago, and their time running down their neighbours goods, thereby proving Shon- ingers popularity. She says hard work will make followers of cold water, Tippecanoe- and-Tyler-too, and even the blood-red ban danna prove an omen of success We have taken her advice and are doing more business than all the rest put together.

erty formerly valued at two million
dollars. 1t is noteworthy that
William T. Coleman, the head OF

whose name has been mentioned in
connection with the Presidency.
In view of this commercial catas-
trophe, produced by the mere APP
prehension of free trade in /. single

of the panic that would follow the
adoption of free trade in all the
articles now included in the pro-

Mr. Coleman, it viii at least have
one good effect in opening the eyes
OF the people of California to the

Character in Autocraphs,

Recent statements about the economic
and wise mothcs OF Napoleon show that
he, while always speaking to her in Italian,
wrote to her in French. How she ever
contrived to decipher his manuscript, il
that also developed corresponding contor-
tions Of his signature, We cannot divine,
unless, indeed, as often happens, there is
n way OF reading with the understanding
heart rs well as the affectionate eye.
No;oriously had writers like Choate,
Greeley and Balzac have always some
body contemporaneous who can readily
interpret their hieroslyphics and when a
noted western editor furnished copy that
any printer might suppose TO be ancient
Egyptian. there was born into the world
a compositor in that town who preferred
it to copper plate inscriptions and set it
up with celebrity and dispatch.
Tracing IL mans character by his hand
writing is deceptive unless we know the
mans career by heart, and then We di-
vine what is not hidden At the same
time il is not a little curious to follow the
commissions Of Napoleon's signature from
the obscure time of an artillery lieuten-
antcy to the victory Of Austerlitz, the re-
treat from Waterloo and captivity on that
