Fl. Mahler's Sons.
The new firm is composed Of Mr.
Louis Mailer and Mr.. Fred Mahler,
two Of Raleigh's cIeyerest and most de-
serving young men. They have grown
up with the business, and have
thorough and intelligent knowledge Of
it in all its spheres. The new arrange
ment Of their handsome store, its mag
nificent equipment, and the immense
stock Of beautiful works that they will
tomorrow display to their friends and
the public, are the best evidences of
their thorough training and discrimi-
mating judgment.
Their establishment is indeed q mir

woman as maiden and wife numbered
her friends by the measure of her ac-
quaintance, or that she was a child of
God. and that at her death the streets
are full of mourners? Such words are
unnecessary, but in the fullness of
truth they are given. None knew her
but to love her. The cold philosopher
would sit, and ask, why should such
a life, in its youthful days, be taken
away? He should find answer in his
own material way; that length of
DAYS constitute not true earthly life,
but the excellence and number of
good deeds. But the Christian would
say that God, in His mercy, gave her
to us, and that it has pleased Him to
pluck from our beautiful garden one
Of it's choicest flowers, and take it to
Himself. that where He is, she may be

FIGHTING FOR HIS REPUTATION.
More Sensational Charges Against DR..
Brown in San FRANCISCO.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. S.-Rev. c.
O. Brown, the Congregational minister
who accused Mrs. Davidson of black
mail, is making a determined and bit
ter fight to preserve his reputation.
There has been serious split in his
church ever since the exposure of Mrs.
DAVIDSON and her charges against Rev.
Brown, and the latter, in asking his
congregation not to Judge his hastily,
referred to his spotless reputation.
The Bulletin which has been print
ing sensational charges against Mr..
Brown, yesterday showed that he had
once before been i'm trouble, and had
been tried by council at Rochester,
Michigan This was seventeen years
ago, and DR. Brown says he him
self demanded the investigation and
was acquitted.
To-day Or. Brown relates the his
tory of his trial at Rochester He says
that Rev John Armstrong, a Methodist
minister in a neighboring town, actu-
ated by jealousy, wrote anonymous
letters accusing Brown Of indecent

who was exposed as the author of the
letters was later caught in the act of
stealing money from merchant who
was his most intimate friend. The
council met March 10 and 4. 1870, and
included the most eminent Congrega-
tional ministers in Michigan
