Bill Posting in Large Cities.

Bill posting for places Of amusement
in this city has become quite a large
business. A theatrical manager who
has spent a good many thousands Of
dollars in this form Of advertising says
about it: No theater in this city spends
less than 500 per week in this way.
Some of them go much higher. Many
people get all Of their amusement
news from the b~illboards. Barnu1R had
great, faith in this kind of display. For
years it cost him 5000 per week for every
season in this city Reckon it up, and
it can easily be figured that more money
is paid to bill posters in New York than
the president Of the United States gets.
"The charges for posting are from
three to five cents per sheet per week.
When the weather keeps clear sheets
last two or three weeks. In rainy
weather they need frequent renewal.
The poster pays rent for space, SO that
the advertisers expense is simply for
posting and keeping posters in good con-
dition. After paying all expenses some
posters net a better income out Of the
business than the average good profess
sional man or merchant can make."-

= Word ABOUT Dress Goods and
What IS to BE Worn.

It is safe to say that Dress Goods
is q subject that is now agitatlng the
minds Of the trading public in view
Of the approaching autumn season.
Doubtless many are perusing the
leading fashion magazines and &C.
quainting themselves with the best
information as to what will be worn,
the cost Of the goods, etc, 50 that
good taste and economy will be hap
PLY blended. Adaptability is one Of
the prerequisites Of dress. Ofcourse
what would suit one lady would not
suit another. This idea has been
fully carried out in the selection Of
our Dress Goods fOr~thC fall trade.
Attend our opening on Monday, Sep
tembcr 81, and see if the correct
things in Dress Goods will not be
shown IN the way of rich PlaIds and
Stripes, and attractive things in
rough effects which are now in vogue
Polka Dots, Camels' Hair, English
Serges, Bedford Cords, Diagonals,
Fancy Robes, Broad cloths, Plain
Henriettas, etc. Over 100 dress pat

A Mad Sculptor's Wonderful Work.

When the young sculptor, John B.
Leoni, during a fit of temporary insani-
ty, was held in waiting at the Burling-
ton On. j. Jail, pending the results Of
inquiries as to his identity, he obtained
possession Of a common bar Of washing
soap and proceeded to astonish the jail
ers. With the nail Of his index finger
he began to d~exterously carve the soap
into the shape Of the "human form di-
vine," and within an incredible short
time, considering the magnitude of the
undertaking and the unbalanced condi-
ton Of his mind, had produced a o
derful model of an Alpine hunter.
The figure, which is now carefully
treasured, is said to be equal to anything
ever executed by either Maroon or
Vidouquet. 1t represents a man with
his right arm Outstretched, the fingers Of
the hand encircling the neck of q duck,
which is as carefully reproduced and rs
true to nature as the figure of the hunt
er. The left hand hangs by the hunters
side, holding d shotgun, while at his feet
lies the figure Of a dog wistfully gazing
at the game his master holds aloft.
Taken all in all it is d most remarkable
work of art.-St. Louis Republic.
