Goods at ..Ha,f Price,"

The mill agent, importer or manu-.
facturer takes orders for IL line of goods
from jobbers and from large retailers
for a full opening supply, but u great
many OF them are thus sold on a guar
antee-that is, the buyers can return
what they do not sell-a pretty safe
business for the buyer. When the goods
fail to move at u stipulated price, the
sellers are notified that u certain guam.
tity will be returned. Then new nego-
tiations begin.
If they are in iobbers' hands and the
quantity is large, a drive may be ar.
ranged for; if not large enough for this,
a sale may be arranged to a larger re-
taller. Then comes his announcement
of a large purchase from a we'll known
manufacturer or importer, greatly be.
low cost, and being content with a
small profit they are to be sold below
cost. Very often, therefore, these sales
do not mean a loss to the retailer or to
the importer. but usually to the maker
of the goods, whether domestic or for
eign. OF course, buyers from agents
who make up the goods into garments
or convert them into bleached, dyed or
printed articles cannot we'll fall back
upon the mills.-TeXtile World.

Romance of a Diamond.

At the beginning of the eighteenth
century u soldier belonging to one Of
the French garrisons i'll India became
enamored of the eyes of Erahma in the
temple of Serringhah. These eyes were
diamonds, moro brilliant than ever
shone under the eyebrows of Crapaud's
European divinities. Their i1stcr cap.
tivated his soul. He haunted the tenn
pie and, yielding to the might of the
god, became u convert to his worship.
AT least so he persuaded the priests,
who went SO far as to admit him to
some care of the temple, doubtless
trusting Brahma to protect his own.
But Gu a stormy night the convert dis
appeared, aud with him one of the
IDOLS eyes, the other having resisted
all his efforts to dislodge it. So Brahma
was left squirting. and the perfidious
Frenchman sold his prize to a captain
in the English navy for about $40, 900.
Later it was bought by the Armenian
merchant Schatfras for more than five
times this sum aud shown by him to
Catherine of Russia, who offered for it
about $500, 600, a life pension Of $751;
900 and a patent of nobility. Schaffras
refused this offer and subsequently, sold
the diamond to Gregory Orloff for the
same sum without the patent of nobi!i-

THE OREGON ELECTION.

THE more the Oregon elections are
studied. the more Respondent they
make democrats. They see the Issue
upon which they staked their party
life disappearing as suddenly as itarose
aud there is no probability that it can
ever be revived. If the democratic
party had anything to gain by the sill
yer departure. the deposition of its old
and honored leaders and the abandon
ment of the democratic middle states
and the loss of all the districts in the
east and west heretofore democratic

thought to lie irresistibly strong. And
here at the first opportunity. when 16

Sam Shankland, the eloquent editor
of the Custer Chronicle. who has lots
of friends among henewspaper boys
and as many syinpathizers until proven
guilty-has resigned as editor.
In the last issue OF the Chronicle he
said: "With the present issue we with
draw from the position of editor of the
Chronicle. We realize the feeling that
must i'll all cases be cngendered in the
public mind when an infamous charge
is preferred against IL citizen. be the
citizen guilty OF innocent. Our plea
of innocence is II matter of record and
until that plea is fully sustained by a
verdict of acquital and the cloud that
is at present hanging over us is re-
moved, W. deem it proper to retire from
the editorship of this paper, hoping,
however, that in the meantime the peo-
pie of this community may consider
the fact that we have only been charged
with an otfense of which we have
not yet been proven guilty."
