Choice Beef.

The words "Choice Beef' are fre- quently seen, but the experience of the
 epicure in search of the real article" bears out the statement of the poet,
 who says: 'Things are not what they seem." Especially true is this of the dealer who labels his stock of Bull Beef" with some tempting sign by which to "catch the unwary." After the unwary buys some of it and in turn finds himself ''sold" and also stcaught" and "held fast" in the pains and penal ties of indigestion he is almost ready, in view of his unhappy experience, to be- come a strict vegetarian, and thereby escape further affiiction. But, gentle
 reader, there are dealers in this city
 who are conscientious and careful in
 the selection of their goods. Among them, and certainly in the front rank, is the well-known and popular State street marketman, Jacob F. Sheiffele.
 MT. Sheiffele has long borne and justly sustaips the reputation of keeping the best beef that money can buy. In con- sequence his store attracts many from all sections, and he has among his pa- irons large numbers of our best fami- lies who know they can be suited and get just what they want at his store. The supply of beef at the present time at MT. Sheiffele's market, 409 State street, is exceedingly fine. Huge sides of beef, the like of which has not been seen in town for the last fifteen years, are now exhibited there. Scores of people were attracted to the display yesterday morning and doubtless hun dreds will visit the market to day. Everybody, including aldermen and men of aldermanio proportions, will be made welcome.

A Kind Young Friend.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The members of engine company No. 1 and hook and ladder company No. 2, located on Howard avenue, were the recipients of fine basket of fruit as a Christmas present yesterday from Master Roy McEwen, son of Wilbur F. McEwen of Howard avenue.
 Master McEwen is quite an enthusiast in regard to fire matters, and by his gentlemanly manners has won for him. self the friendship of all the firemen with whom he has come in contact.
 Master McEwen has. seemed to make it his especial business to see that the firemen located at this station should be provided with some pretty and tasty present in the shape of fruit, flow CTS or cake every Christmas since he was old enough to walk alone.
 His efforts at showing his admiration for the firemen and the fire business are much appreciated by the f1remen.
