You've been TO the cupboard,
And found that its shelves and its drawers were
OF sheets for your bed, and of clothes for your

And come with me. where9 well, you have but to

III show you place where a small sum in cash
Will purchase fine linen, or Sheeting, or crash,
Or tray cloths, or napkins, or towels, in fine
Anything you may need in the housekeeping line
III like Flora McFlmsey in direst despair
Because you're convinced that you've nothing to

The cream Of all fabrics, and not the skim milk ;
They've print, and they've gingham, gay colored
The best and the cheapest, and all grades be-
They've pant cloths, and cloakings, and if a new

You're in need of, Just come, they can satisfy all.
And handkerchiefs too, they've not kept them

There are lots of plain white ones and gay bor-

You'll certainly buy them,
They're cheap and they're pretty,
If in search Of place where you're sure of square
No cheating, nor shoddy. nor big-profit-steang
Where on every ones word you can safely depend
And each can be sure whether stranger or friend,

Where goods are delivered in all parts OF town,
And ladies of Deering no longer are known

FISHERMEN FLYERS.
Preparations for the Coming Race
at Boston.

BosToN, April 1.-Thursday next the
fisherme n 'srace will take place in the out
er bay, and all the arrangements are made.
The Carrie e. Phillips on Friday last took
out considerable ballast, and yesterday
morning trial sail was taken to see how
she would act under the new conditions She
had both topmasts on and her big mainsail,
and she sailed very well. The John Ii. Nc
Manus is at the south side of Commercial
wharf, and is also being fitted out Her top
masts are on end. and her sails are being ov-
hauled. Both the Phillips and the McMan-
us will haul out in Simpsons dock, tomor-
row, to be put in order for the race. The
Roulette was hauled out on Lockwood s
ways yesterday, and she will be put in the
best of trim. 1t is said she is to be pot-lead-
ed for the race. Capt. Harty has finally
decided to start in the race, even If the
course is triangular. The Carrie e. Phillips
has by farnthe best of it, because she has the
greatest length and sail area, and for which
she is not taxed in time allowance. Any
ordinarily designed vessel, witn the extra
length and greater sail spread that she has,
ought to win over the smaller boats, sailing
some reason, has a good following, both
here and in Gloucester. Stories are going
that she has done wonders in Ipswich bay,
and that she is sailing fast enough to outsail
the McManus. The friends of the Merritt
give out that her chances are poor against
the Phillips, but they are willing to give
odds against the McManus. There is con-
siderable interest in the race, and the fish
dealers will be glad when it is over, as it
greatly interferes with trade.
All day long yesterday crowds visited the
fish wharyes for the purpose of seeing the
vessels being fitted out. The Phillips is the
fayorite, with the Merritt second, the Nc
Manus third, the Roulette
fourth and the Babson fifth. Capt. Blake
says the Roulette may surprise them all.

show ever appropriated that name. But
this man of pluck and iron nerve, who in the
early days-long before the whistle of the
locomotive ever startled the herds of buffalo
that roamed over these western prairies-
was aot less respected than feared by the
Indians, is now at the head of this great
humanizing and civilizlng agency.

A YOUNG MANS FALL.
Death from Drink and Exposure In
NobIeboro.

DAMARIsCoTTA, April 1.-Charles G, Oil
yer, young man about 20 years of age, the
son of Edwin Oliver Of Nobleboro, was
found dead this morning at about O'Clock,
opposite the town house in that place. His
face was badly bruised. and as he was last
seen in company with several wild and dissi-
pated young fellows, Of unsavory reputa-
tion, Coroner Patterson of Wiscasset was
notified, and held an inquest this afternoon.
1t appeared in evidence that Oliver and four
others became more or less intoxicated last
night, and that Oliver could not be induced
to go home He was left sitting~on the wall
near where the body was found. That was
the last time he was seen alive. ,Drs. Dixon
and Stetson, of this place, were summoned
and held post mortem examination, finding
no evidence of violence, but the stomach
was badly congested as result of excessive
drinking. The jury rendered a verdict that
the said Charles c. Oliver came to his death
between D. m. March 31st and a. m. April
1st, from an accidental overdose of alcohol
and exposure.
The affair has caused great excitement and
much feeling in Nobleboro and the surround
ing towns, as Oliver was a member of the
Good Templars' lodge and school teacher.
He bore good reputation His fall is at
tributed to the influence of his associates.

TWENTY.FouR DEAD.
Funerals and an Inquest at Rich
Hin, Missouri.

KANSAS CITY, April 1.-The latest reports
from Rich Hill place the total mum ber of
deaths from the mine explosion at "A. 1t is
now reasonably certain that no more bodies
are in the ruins, although rumors have been
circulated to the effect that several negroes
were still entombed
r. II. Keith, one of the owners of the
mine, thinks that an overcharge of powder
caused the disaster, and declares that there
has been no gas in the mine.
A Journal special from Rich Hill says that
II of the dead miners were buried yesterday
afternoon in Green Lawn Cemetery. A
long procession followed the bodies to the
burial ground. Coroner Rice began his in
quest yesterday afternoon before a jury
composed of four farmers and two miners.
David Rice was the first witness. He said
that he had helped take out the bodies and
did not think the mine properly ventilated
on account of the insufficient number of air
shafts. Thomas Handy testified that he
thought the mine properly supplied with APP
paratus for ventilation, but thought the pit
boss did not distribute the air properly and
neglected his duties. DR.. Allen testified
that of the % miners all were asphyxiated,
and that none were burned. Thomas Eddy
quit work in the mine last February because
he thought the gas in the mine made 1t dan
gerous work there.
