~tAt ~ 1877
When the Autumn season
opened we announced the
greatest stock Of Dress Goods
10 any market. The same
statement could have been
truthfully repeated every day
-could be intensified today
at every point.
Advertisements OF special
ties and bargains appear else
where. But they are all match
ed and surpassed here many
times over. At yocr command
to-day in this store are, bar
gains enough to make a dozen
ordinary stores wild.
Take a single price-Miyy-
se0en and One- haJ ecnts. Over
four hundred styles of Wool
Dress Goods at that price,
nearly all of which were soc a
yard ten days ago. A walk
through New York stores
three days since showed scores
of the identical goods paraded
as bargains at E1fy cents.

Passes in Russia.

People who think that the free pass business is carried to extremes in the United States should note how they do it in Russia. The Railroad Gazette says that the Russian railroads have been accustomed to give free passes not only to their employees, but to relatives of their employees, practice which may have been heard of on this side of the At lantic. The term relatives" however, has been found to be extremely elastic, and recently the Great Russian com pany put its foot down and issued posi- tive orders that hereafter passes will be granted to no other relatives of em- ployes than their wives, though Q trifiing reduction of seventy per cent. on the prices of tickets will be made to the parents, brothers and sisters of em- ployes and of their wives, but all aunts, cousins and stepmothers must pay full fares. If your brother receives a sal ary of as much as fifteen hundred rubles (seven hundred and fifty dollars) from the company you can get your discount only on first-class tickets; if he has from three hundred to fifteen hundred you have second-class tickets; if less than three hundred rubles, third-cIass tickets.

JOHN HOWARD PAYNE'S CRUEL

The Author of "EIome. Sweet Home"
 Wanted It Above All Things.
 John Howard Payne, the author of Sweet Home," was when young man deeply in love with Mary Harden, a southern girl of grace and beauty. The New England Magazine recalls the fol- lowing incident concerning the two, which serves to show that even poets may sometimes present themselves in prosaic phases.
 One morning, while Payne was stay ing in the town where the young lady lived, he entered her house with pale and dismal face
 Miss Mary" he asked, pathetically, ''do you know what grGel is?"
 'Indeed do," she answered. ''Why, what is the matter?'
 ''Oh! those horrid biscuits at the tav- ern seem to be made of saleratus, lard and half-baked flour! Could you have a dish of gruel prepared for me?"
 Certainly" she answered, and hast ened from parlor to kitchen to lay the case before Aunt Minda.
 "Oh. Miss Mary" exclaimed that ebony priestess of pots and pans, ''yer know yer ma not gwine ter like that. I never lznowed gruel carried inter her parlor to company. Yer got no pride, chile. Go in ther house an give ther gentleman fruit cake and pineapple cheese"
 "But, Aunt Minda, MT. Payne has dyspepsia and wants only gruel."
 So the gruel was prepared and Rob Roy, the house boy, was summoned 70 serve it. He, however, proved to be as greatly frustrated as Aunt Minda by such compromise of family dignity. He would have presented syllabub and cake proudly, but gruel would smirch the family escutcaeon forever. Still, his wounded feelings were modified when he saw the steaming beverage quaffed like nectar.
 Rob" said Mir. Payne, ''is there any more gruel where this came from?"
 Bless you, sir, Y" replied Rob, there's bushels!''
 ''Then bring me another bowl!''

Big SchOoDers.

A great deal of transformation is be- ing circulated as to which is the largest schooner afoat. Everybody on the American coast thinks that the i've masted schooner Governor Ames is the largest of all fore-and-afters, but this is mistake. The largest schooner in the last published government list is the Golden Age, 1,763 tons, built at Alb bott's Bridge, O., in 1883, and hailing from Sandusky. The Governor Ames is the second in the list and the largest schooner on salt water. She was built at Waldoboro, Me-, in 1889, halls from Fall River and registers 1889 tons. The Millie G. Browne, built at Camden, Me-, in 1889, measured 1,596 tons, but, as she was lost on the first trip, she doesn't count in the present list. The four-master Tecumseh, 1,590 tons, built at Bath in 1889, is the third largest schooner afioat, and the John F. Randall, 1,5S5 tons, built at Bath in 1889, is fourth in point of size. It is thought that the limit of size has been reached in this class of vessels, but there is a possibility that some ambitious down easter may yet produce 2,000-to1 schooner

FISH CHARMED BY A SNAKE.
Fascination of Denizens Of Pool for a
 Water Reptile,

Fascination of Denizens Of a Fool for a
 Water I;epEi.e.
 Approaching Q pool as large as a big dining-roorn, WIG found millions in it, '' and the fright that our moving bodies gave them sent them scurrying in every direction with such energy that the mere contact Of one with another killed them by dozens. Then we laid our selves quietly down upon the ground by the pool. one on each side, and re- mained motionless for few minutes, and we were rewarded by sight en- tirely new to US.
 The water was perfectly clear and not above two feet deep, the day calm and bright and the proceedings below the surface easily observed. n the deepest part of the pool school of lit tie fish was swimming around and around in a ring of about two feet in diameter, the school being about six inches wide and apparently two or three layers deep.
 Around and around they went, at the least motion on our part breaking ranks, to resume their circus at once when we were quiet again. We were interested, of course, and puzzled, and we tried for half an hour or more to learn the cause of such unusual move ments.
 Our talk, for we did talk. did not dis turb them, from which we inferred that they could not hear us; our slight est movement did, from which we in- they could see us.
 Carefully crawling little nearer, we discovered the center of the moving cir clc was large watersnal1e, coilcd, quiet and watchful. Ornithologists have told US, in unreliable school books, that snakes can, and often do, charm birds, and some have, in their more elaborate works, tried to substantiate that theory. I never believed it, says a writer in the American Angler. and certainly never heard of snakes charm ing fish, but what were these shad do- ing? Were they charmed?
 If they were afraid of his snakeship why didn't they swim away, as they did when we stirred? Why, when OUT dis turbance ceased, did they persistently return and take up their ceaseless round in so dangerous a neighborhood? These are conundrums that can't answer.

FOR POSTAL CLERKS.
A Measure for Their Classification and
 Promotion.

Promotion.
 The bill for the classification of clerks in first and second-class post offices which congress is considering ought to become law without opposition, says the Century. It was. prepared by the National Association of Post Office Clerks, and is measure conceived and designed for the sole purpose of secur- ing just and fair treatment to a very hard-working and meritorious body of public servants. It fixes their com pensation upon an equable and reason able basis, insurcs promotion according to service and ability, and makes faith fitness and efficiency the sole requisites for permanent employment. It is a measure in the interest of true civil serv- ice reform, as we'll as national justice, since it classifies the service, makes it mandatory that all appointments to the higher grades shall be from the lower grades, on the ground of proficiency and length of service, and requires that all new appointments shall be to the lower grades after competitive exami nations as required by the civil service act.
 Under the present system, or rather lack of system, the clerks have no classification which insures promotion according to service and ability, have long hours of labor, are poorly paid and have no annual vacation. To say that a great and rich government like ours is justified in treating its employees in this heartless, unfair and parsimo- pious manner is obviously absurd. A private employer who pursued such a course would be censurcd roundly by all reputable men, AS nation we are abundantly able to pay our servants fair wages, and we ought to sec that it is for the best interest of the whole public to have our post office clerks a permanent, well-drilled, intelligent, capable and contentcd body of servants, for it is only from such body that the best service can be obtained.
