The Hnvseed,s Delnsion.

Should Uncle Jerry Rusk succeed in
introducing to the other states the
wooden nutmeg Of Connecticut, he will
achieve fame for himself and give agri-
culture boost it has never received
from any other quarter -Courier-Jour-
nal
Beyond setting an honest example,
General Rusk will not be able to do much
for agriculture, because the Office he
holds is a sham and delusion created by
demagogues in Congress and the White
House to humbug the farmers Of the
country but we may be sure that he
will never be a party to putting off upon
anybody any fraud ike the wooden nut

UPHOLSTERY.

To intending purchasers Of Up
holstery Goods, Curtains, ETC., we
would say that the lines Of goods we
are showing viii be Of very great in
terest to you. Our Curtain Depart
ment is specially attractive, our sales
daily increasing, and no wonder
every one knows that honse is no
longer furnished without draperies
Of some kind, and the idea Of taking
down your heavy curtains in the
spring without replacing them with
some lighter fabric is thing Of the
past. Etimine Laces fill want of
the more economical buyer, and they
are very pretty, coming in whltes
eoru and colors. Noting ham Laces,
cheap, good aud pretty. Among
the prettiest summer draperies is
Madras. We have it in white and
colors, one and a half and two yards
wide, SOC. and 65c. per yard, and
have duplicated our orders on this
goods already. Silkine, a very close
imitation Of China Silks, light, airy
and very pretty, only zoe. per yard
Cretonnes are good as usual, many
people preferring them to any other
summer curtain. Another lot of
those all-around tapped Nottingham
Curtains at $l.00 per pair. Walnuts
Ash, Cherry, Ebony, Antique, Oak
and Brass Poles, 25c. to $500 each
We ask your careful inspection Of
these goods and their prices.

he playfully poured the laudanum into
glass of book beer and Laank it. Shortly
after he went sound asleep. Dr. Block
