Where Bin skies Put oliver Twist.

In Chertsey, writes a correspondent, is
a house which, if rumor says true, is of
immense interest to readers of Dickens,
and it is for sale. 1t is believed to be
that into which Bill Skies put Oliver
Twist for burglarious purposes. The
house is good one, and ought to fetch a
good price apart from its value of asso-
citation. If any one of a philanthropic
disposition and keen admirer of Dick
ems were mindful to erect yet another
memorial to his genius, a purchase and
endowment of this house as the home
for destitute boys would be in every way
suitable.-London Star.

Chamberlain,s Cough REMEDY.

This remedy does not dry up cough,
but loosens and relieves it. 1t prevents
coughing by producing free eXpectora-
ton, and by allaying the inflammation
and irritation of the throat. 1t is the
only preparation in common use that
produces an expulsion of mucus from
the air cells of the lungs, renders the
mucus less tenacious and easier to ex-
pectorate, and opens the secretions.
1t completely undermines cold. 1t is
especially adapted to children, as it
contains no injurious substance. 1t is
great favorite for Group, and has never
yet failed. 80 cents per bottle. For
sale by G.. f. Heinzeman, 222 n Main
street; Jno. A. OFF, corner Fourth and
Spring, and all leading druggists.

The brooks Song.

The Brooks Song.
Through al the drifted snowx
That I'm the woodland nook,
In iisping music flows
The dark, untitled brook
While winding swift along
Upon its icy way,
Its song is but the song
1t sang in rosy May.
All, happy brook, to sing,
While winter days depart
The melody of spring
That ripples in its heart!

Mrs Robinson took for her text "How
shall We escape II we neglect so great sal
vation?"
Salvation is great" she maintained, "be-
cause Of its cost. Jesus left his glory aud
became man OF SORROWS. His sufferings
are not measured by the brief three hours of
Calvary, nor by the brief night of Gethse-
name, bat by the life from Bethlehem to the
cross. He chose his associates from the
poor, the Ignorant, the sin-defled, that he
might save me from sin. This salvation is
great because of its extent, for 'whoSoeVer
Will may take the water Of life freely
THE grandest minds have never been able
to weigh its conceptions, yet the most ignor-
ant may fulfill its requirements. Abraham
LINCOLN said he could not manage the affairs
Of this nation without the grace of Christ.
Tie friend of Lincoln is your friend. The
this salvation. and so far reaching is it in
its provisions that no obstacle can keep an
honest soul from God. This salvation is
great also because Of its depth, for il is a
wonderful thing to be forgiven as God for
gives. He fOrgives and foreets. Mems sins
are covered by the blood of Christ. But if
it 90 no further than forgiveness it will not
meet my need.
IS once heard a Methodist preacher say
at camp-meeting. Il go to a horse-race

want to; but thirty years ago God took all

THAT POsTOFFICE SITE.
The President VIII Veto an Unreasonab
lott

The President VIII Veto an Unreasonable
Appropriation.
Although the San Francisco Real Estate
Exchange has Endorsed Representative
Clunie's bill for the appropriation of
100000 for the purchase of site for
the Postoffice, there is, nevertheless, de-
cIded opposition to the measure among a
number of real estate men who are not
members OF that organization. The prevail
ing opinion seems to be that the present ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the purpose is
ample, and that any attempt to increase the
sum will be indicative of selfish motives on
the part of those who participate in it.
Charles W. Pope, who has lately returned
from the East, was seen yesterday by a
CALL reporter, and stated that in his opinion
the price asked for the Howard and Second
streets site, 100000, is preposterous, the
property being worth not more than half
that amount. He believed the sum large
enough to compensate the owner of any lot
In San francisco for the condemnation of
his property.
" | called upon the President when I was
in Washington" said Mr.. Pope. "and
placed before him the facts of the case.
assuring him in the first place that my mo-
tlyes were unselfish and that l had no AK to
grind. As real estate agent and one con-
versant with the value Of San Francisco
property, L urged upon him the fact that
the present appropriation is sufficient
found the President a plain, matter
of-fact man OF business, and received the
assurance from him that no moneys should
be spent in this behalf with his consent
unless the full value were received therefor.
III San francisco landowners continue to
raise their prices as the possibility of secur-
ing larger appropriations presents itself, he
VIII proceed to condemn the land and pay
for it only such price as is assessed under
the direction of the court"
