Right uow, sitbe beginning OF tho busiest sea-
son OF the year. when buying Is virtually ns-

come out and try by strange means to diver,
trade from its natural or legitimate channels
We are not croakers. We are not scoida. we
DO not by this confess thG, our business rfa or
can be hurt by such operations, but We do say
thatirs an outrage upon the community. Itiss

crumbs from the table Of those who may es Is
good merchants, abo may deserve as much, but
who haven't the busioess % justify them 10 buy
page advertisements, or oven to advertise at sill.
We tell the people that there ls no foundation
in fact in such bold announcements. They are
not the golden opportunities that you arc look
ing for to enrich yourselves. We can prove and
ws riH prove that every blessed bargain adver-
tseI at bold sacrifice prices by other houses Is
here at oil times aud always has been here FOR
less - than rsgu,ar prices.
We DO not object % any one selling good,

IT is not often that strike is sue.
cessful, but there was one in Boston
which terminated last winter in sue
cess. The iourneymen in a large
cigar mandatory struck, and the
result was the ruin of the proprie-
tors business and his bankruptcy.
In this, the strikers were as success
full as they could have hoped to be.
But the victory was even greater
than had been expected. All the
employees were deprived of work
during the severest weather of the
season. and are still idle, with little
prospect of obtaining employment
in Boston for some time. Other
manufacturers are afraid to take
them in lest the strikers will play
the same game with them that they
did with their employer whom they
forced into bankruptcy. Many OF
the strikers are poor women and
children, who were compelled to go
out because some disconnected men
said so.

some French doctors have discov-
cred deadly poison in the human
breath. The fluid, which was OBJ
tanned from the respiratory ira ct,
was tried on dog, aud at first pro-
duced sort of paralysis of the ex-
tremities. s'After dose of twenty
centigrammes the animal always
succumbs in the space of seven
hours. The poison thus extracted
is an organic alkaloid, and not, as
might have been supposed, mi
crobe, or rather, series of micro
hes. From these curious researches,
the following conclusions may be
deducted: l. In confined air is
found volatile principle, most
deadly in its effects, emanating from
the lungs, and much more danger
Gus than the carbonic acid which is
also met with in it. 2. Human
breath, as we'll as that of animals,
thus contains poison which is
most wonderful. What is fell
low going to do about this thing?-
