however, while it has an i'm

with the business, does not
amount to much unless it con-

ordcrt to meet the requirements
we have visited the cities in

best houses secured the best
terms, and used our best judy
mcnt in making selections, and
while we do not claim to carry
as large or varied a stock as
Philadelphia or New York

demands of the trade and are
willing to compare prices with
any. We are grateful at the
growing appreciation of our
efforts, as is shown by the con-

and the orders we receive
from all sections. But we are
not satisfied with oyr attain

and to do better for our custo-

us to do it. We want to merit

slipped his hands out of the knots and was
manipulating the tambourines, when he VEN
tured too near the front row and one young

back to his chair and slipped his hand in the

tanned the ring, was that of Miss Worthington,
rich young society lady.
The trick went off well, though Twas obliged

heart bounded into my mouth. She was the
owner of the ring. With great composure

ROYAL WEAKLINGS.
Very Few European Monarchs Possessed
OF Sound Bodies and Sound Minds.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The average monarch Of Europe is a being
sadly out of repair and his lot is far from
being healthy or a happy one. With
two or three exceptions, a sound mind
in q sound body cannot be affirmed
OF any Of them. Queen Victoria is reported to
be hale old lady, with many years to live, but
the prince of Wales, what with Brights dis
ease and varicose veins, may be set down
as confirmed invalid in quest of health,
and finding it not; while Albert Victor, or
collars and Cuffs" as he is Familiarity known
the next in succession, has neither the
mental nor physical sturdiness to qualify him
for the task OF governing the British empire
The German emperor, with his withered arm
his painful ear complaint and insomnia, though
very active Young fellow, shows a falling of
in physique as compared with his robust grand
father, who reached a ripe and sturdy old age.
The car of Russia is a hypochondriac and the
czarina is even in a worse condition, as it bor-
ders upon insanity. The emperor of Austria,
though physically better of than most of his
royal fellows, has become a melancholy man
since the violent death of his son and heir, and
the empress is a victim to almost identically
the same complaints which are tormenting
the czarina of Russia. The king Of Hol-
land has been reduced to a wreck by
disease and has just recovered from
berg Is more than half crazy and the king of
Bavaria wholly so. The king of Italy, per-
sonally an excellent man, is distracted with
chronic dyspepsia, and the late king of Spain
left the present infant ruler the bequest Of a
deranged stomach and generally disordered
constitution. The king of Belgium could
probably plead not guilty to the general
charge were it not for lameness King Charles
of Roumsnia and his queen are both the yic-
tins Of hallucinations. The king of Servia
can have no comfort, as he is in daily dread of
assassination, and the sultan is a melancholy
man, fearing the same grim fate or all the
European sovereigns Queen Victoria, the king
Of Greece, the king of Sweden and Norway and
the king of Belgium are reported to be the
