AN IRISH LEADER.

In no case during the last five years
have / advised any combination among
tenants against even rack rents, and
any combination of this sort which
might exist should be regarded as an
isolated combination confined to the
tenants of individual estates, who Of
their own accord, without any incite-
ment from us-on the contrary, kept
back by US, without any urging on our
part, without any advice on our part,
but stung by necessity and the terrible
realities of their position, may have
formed such a combination among
themselves to secure such reduction
of rent as will enable them to live in
their own homes.

Charming is the never failing word
on the lips of citizens of st. Paul who
have had an opportunity of visiting the
jewelry store of Messrs. Myers Il Co.,
II East Third street. Nothing could
exceed the effective character of the
display in their window. \ plantation
negro, with his banjo, is perched upon
a log, connected with which are chain
and an anchor. The latter is surrounded
with Jewels, rare and beautiful, for
which this firm is noted, and the whole
presents picture at once pleasing and
attractive. Artistic as the outside show
is. it is nothing in comparison with
the splendor and superior assortment
of the goods inside. An innate sim
plicity pervades the interior, and the
whole of the vast stock may be viewed
with little exertion. The point of in
terest to lady visitors is the diamond
case, with its countless gems in ear

to femininity. SilverWaTe is quite the
rage this season, and in all respects it
would be difficult to match the dis
play of this class of Messrs.
MYERS IL Co. Their sales within
the last seven days have been
enormous, is the report of T. B.
Myers. and yet from the goods on sale
their supply is well nigh ineXhauStible.
They include holiday presents OF more
than an ornamental character, and
novelties in the way of library and
toilet goods of the most ingenious de-
scrbtion. There are gold watches,
chains and jewelry in profusion, and
every variety of umbrellas and canes in
gold and silver mOuntings. But the de-
light of all visitors is considerably
heightened by peep into the art
room. This adjunct to the store is
quite on innovation, the draplng

and burning fire. There are several
Zines of goods in this room; all choice
and chaste in design, and such as can
not fail to please the most fastidiouS
person. The cut glass, Royal Worcester,
piano and banquet lamps, and the onyx
pedeStalS are in themselves elegant
works of art, but convey little idea of
the vases. bronzeS. French clocks and
other articles on exhibition. There is
magnificent mahogany, cased English
clock. fitted with the Westminster and
Wilmington quarter chimes. which for
elegance and finish cannot be equaled
in the city. The characterization and
setting of this room is not merely pic
turesque-it is a credit to the skill and
ingenuity of the designer. In fact, the
whole establishment is a marvel of
business enterprise, combined with pure
artistic taste

There is no reason why st. Paul

is strictly proper. as another has been

forgotten neither is the fact that the
