SMITH & MURRAY.

We cannot afford to enter 1893, un- til we've paid our respects and hearty thanks to good old 1892 The year that is past brought us increased busi- ness beyond our plans and dreams. The year was filled with opportunities; and we'd have been blind not to have accepted were grand. It has seldom been the privi- vilege of business house to have the for tune to pass over to their patrons so many ex- ceptional values, brought about by constant watch in all markets for break in prices, thereby securing for our trade the best possible values
 We'll begin 93 with brighter future than any preceding year.
 On Tuesday, Jan. Sd, we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over Western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an op- portunity presented itself in the way of break in prices. While we do not welcome such state of affairs yet manufacturers will make too many goods; partners will disagree-some of them die stocks have got to be sod cash got to be raised. These and other circumstances give us the priv ilege to offer to an appreciattve public the best values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies' Muslin Underwear. This branch of our business requires but little comment. Con- mencing last April we made contracts for this class of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation of goods and low prices that will play an important part in this great sale. Noth- Ing unworthy is offered
 In connection with this sale every department in the house will offer special values
 The sale begins TUESDAY, JAN. Sd, at a. m.

 We don't like a ''fake' or "faker'' any better than we like any other liar. The ''fake' is 8 sensational, made-up story, based usually on very little founda- ton of fact, sometimes on none whatever, but prepared in an interesting style and sold to some newspaper for publication as alleged news. The faker is the thing who prepares flakes"
 But it is, nevertheless, our opinion that the legislature of Connecticut might as we'll leave the "fakeys" alone. Somebody has presented bill against them which, while crudely drawn, is intended to pro- vide fine or imprisonment for them. The object, that of suppressing printed lies and libels and punishing the authors of them, is one with which many people will sympathize. But the majority of news paper readers and buyers, these days, pre- fer flakes" to news, and, so long as that is the deliberate and manifest wish of the majority, just so long will they be made and sold and printed, and all the legisla- lures that have ever met or ever will meet in Hartford can't stop them.
 The whole subject is self regulating. Just the moment that people cease to se- lect for reward those papers whose col umns are made interesting" by daily fakes, just that moment such papers will cease to publish them, because the sort of men who run that sort of papers are look ing for dollars, and nothing else. Just so long as the public chooses them out to give it's dollars to, just so long they will continue to publish what the public calls for.
 It's pretty contemptible business for the great public to run The Daily Roorbach's circulation up to couple of hundred thousand, solely because of it's regular supply of daily fakes, and then gravely denounce its own hirelings for doing that which it is paying them to do. Such conduct on the part of an individual would expose him to the charge of hypoc- risy. It is no less contemptible when it is the conduct of the newspaper buying pub ,;o

The report that MT. Cleveland had told congressman that he did not intend to ap- point newspaper men to office for the reason, among others, that he might be accused of subsidizing the press, does not hold good. Congressmen Cookery, De Armond, Cobb, Burns and Morgan of Missouri have called on the president for the express purpose of ascertaining the truth about the 'no journalists need apply" rule. MT. Dockery, asked Mr. Cleveland point blank, whether it were true or not that he had discriminated against newspaper men, and the answer came straight that there was no such ill., tention. There is no reason why news paper men should be prescribed class by president who already has two of them in his cabinet. But there has been big waste of gushing editorials con- mending the president for his supposed intention.
 THE New York and New England rail- road was levied upon yesterday for debt of $13O,O0O for coal bill, and officers have attached locomotives and cars at 1 the East Hartford yard. The engines were afterward released and tender made for the payment of the bill. It is thought to be a move of adversary parties to beal the stock of the road, so that it can be bought up at low figure.
 Before adjourning Saturday evening the California legislature, in both branches, passed a resolution submitting to the peo- pie constitutional amendment which provides for the removal of the state cap- itol from Sacramento to San Jose.

CHAPTER Xv.-CoNTrNuED.
Once more at home, she found her
darling convalescent, and-her thrilling
story told, with certain reservations
Carolyn Clay bent all her energy, and
every resource of tonics and medicines
she brought, to curing her boy. And
two days showed wondrous improve
ment in the yellow. shrunken little
form under her care.
Two days more brought great news,
and that sensitive scale, the heart Of a
patientwaiting nation, that went up
with ightest hope or sank heavy under
doubt and disaster, danced airily under
touch Of great cavalry victory.
Spite Of the bitter weather, federal
, cavalry had massed above Washington,
had crossed the Potomac, three thou

swiftly forced march, that dropped
man and horse by the way--bore down
upon Stuart's advance. This the fed

himself opposed by the smaller forces,
intrenched on vantage ground and
ready TO join battle.
Furiously the 6ght had ragged; but at
last the invading force was hurled back,
broken, decimated, but stubbornly con-
testing every foot Of his retreat. This
much only was known at the capital; II
was great, II resultless, victory, but
one bought by the blood Of many gal
liant fellow.
And soon In its train-as In that Of
many another Of these indecisive killings
--came sequele, sad enough to dim the
glory Of victory-to shadow, rs with

eyes, and, with sigh OF infinite con-
tent, yielded to the drug and slept
again
Then, still not turning her face, the
wondering woman whispered;
"What does 1t all mean?"
Taking her hand, with all the defer
ence Of the cavalier, Stuart led Miss
Clay to the open room adjoining. There
his story was briefly told. The dispatch
Evan brought across had saved fatal
surprise. Before the dawn Of battle
morning, as the confederates lay in
rilepits, waiting the attack, firing
was heard in front Soon Fitzhugh
raced in, closely followed by federal
troopers. That day he was in the very
forefront of the fight. When the enemy
broke, Charlton's troop was first to
mount, in close pursuit; a rally, and
they broke in turn, leaving their cap
tain hemmed by hostile sabers. Like
lightning Fitzhugh cut his way to Charl-
ton, Just as he fell pinioned by his
horse Then Evan reached the pair,
fighting on foot, Just as Fitzhugh fell.
The boy sprang from saddle, threw the
wounded man across his horse, and
brought him safely in, under a very hail
Of lead
AS she heard this terse recital, the
woman's brain reeled; but will cocrced
it to calm at its close, and she gasped:
"But--all this for-a spy'"
''Yes--for mine" Stuarts eyes, CLINT
ing as he recounted the fray, softened
to tenderness, as did his tone. "Peyton

and insult from both sides-to serve the

and accept troop. He refused, until

"And Capt Charlton's story"
"Wns one Of the strange ones he tells
after country parties, Miss Clay"
Stuart's eyes were dancing In their
deep blue depths again. "But his gal

With slow, quiet step Carolyn Clay
moved to the bedside once more, look
ing down long and earnestly upon the
face Of the sleeper, now flushed with
healthier glow. Then, hiding her own
in clasped hands, she sank upon her
knees.
Presently the sun, peering through
the western window, Furnished the

DOROTHY LEE.

"Sweet Dorothy Lee"
Every bird light and FREQ
Keeps singing TO me,
As II flles TO its nest,
In the tall maple tree.
Don't you hear its soft notei
Don't you see as 1t floats,
tits saying to me;
'She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And the clover bells say,
Swinging over my way,
Nodding down their pink crowns,
To the brown bumblebeei
They know IT right well,
They've o secret for me:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And the pines overhead, ia'e-
With their century tread.
Sounding low through the leaves,
As they toss In the breeze,
From the blue dimpled sea,
am as sure as con be
That they whisper TO me:
"She loves you, she loves you.
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And o rapture Is stirred
AT the song OF the bird,
And the whispering tree,
Az my heart and my brain
Catch the rapturous strain
They are singing to me-:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And I roam through dream
OF golden-wrought sheen;
A soft web Of delight,
For my heart is so light;
Every flower on the lea,
Every wave OF the sea,
Has this message for me:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And l fancy tonight
/ will ask her outright
II tits true what they say,
The clover and tree,
And the brown bumblebee,
And the parleying breeze
That comes up from the sea;
They have all said to me,
AS plain as could be:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
