It seems that few of the so-called friends

It would seem to be a good Ulea to have

It is contended by the siste -s of Lady

However well supplied with rivers the

them. Thirty years ago St. i/iuis bad 60

Some of the Washington correspondents
appear to take delight in annoying the
department clerks. The Tribune corre
spondent a day or two ago said that the
first official act of Mr. Higgins, the new
appointment clerk of the Treasury De
partment, was to rend a requisition to the
Stationery Division for 500 discharge
blanks. The item, when it appeared in
print, sent a cold chill down the backs of
the Treasury employes. Higgins appears
to be the sort ot a man who would take
delight in “bouncing” about 500 o( the
T.-easury clerks.
Detectives as well as their victims
frequently get into amusing predica
ments. The other day a hotel thief went
to Washington city and registered at the
Ebbitt House as Carl Schurz, St. Louis.
An enterprising lady newspaper corre
spondent soon “caught on” to the signa
ture, and sent up her card with intent
to procure aa interview with the distin
guished Mugwump. In the meantime
the thief had left the hotel and the de
tectives were on his track. While they
were searching his room for clues the
lady was shown up, wbeu she was at once
arrested as a supposed accomplice. She
wa* indignant, but on explaining her
miasiou was at once released with an
apology fut the very natural mistake.
The IVesident Complimented.
The President is being complimented in
some quarters tor bis firmness in refusing
to listen to the demands of the office
seekers. The impression is getting abroad
that when he announced his purpose to
obey in good faith the letter and spirit of
the civil service law he meant exactly
wuat he said. During the two weeks
that he has been President he certainly
has not given any one reason to hope that
there would be any general removal of
Republicans. It may be that he doesn’t
want to bring on a debate in the Sen
ate with respect to his policy relative to
the offices, and hence has determined
not to make many nominations as long as
that body is in session. If the work of
replacing Republicans with Democrats
in the South were begun at once there
would be devoloped, doubtless, a very
strong opposition in the Senate. The Re
publicans would talk for the benefit of
their party about the tenure-of-offlee act,
and while they might not be instrumental
in preventing the confirmation of any
nomination, they would do their utmost,
probably, to make it appear that the Pres
ident had violated his pledges with re
spect to the civil service.
There will not be any removals worth
mentioning in the departments at Wash
ington except for incompetency or to re
duce the force. That point appears to be
pretty well settled. The Secietary of
State has informed the employes of the
State Department that they would not be
discharged as long as they attended to
their duties faithfully and intelligently.
The policy of the Secretary of State is
the policy that will be pursued, doubtless,
by the heads of all the other departments.
The Civil Service Commission is going
forward with its work just as if there
had been no change in the administra
tion. The Commissioners say that they
have every reason to think that no per
sons will be appointed to the minor places
who have not been recommended by the
commission.
If the idea is once clearly understood
that civil service reiorm has come to stay
the pressure for clerkships and other mi
nor places in the departments will soon
cease, and the government employes will
tie as loyal to one administration as to an
other. Men of talent, character and edu
cation will seek employment under the
government because they will feel that as
long as they are deserving they will not
lie in danger of losing their places. The
public busiuess will be attended to by
trained officials, and hence, will be done
iletter and at much less expense than
where the force is changed with every
administration.
There are no particular reasous, how
ever, why those who hold Presidential
offices—that is, offices that are of so much
imrortanoe that they are tilled by the
President—should be retained when there
is a change in the administration, even
though they may be thoroughly well
fitted for their places. The most of them,
at best, are mere figure heads, and their
removal at any time would not seriously
interfere with the public business.
Notwithstanding the effort that is being
made to secure the reappointment of
Postmaster Pearson, of New York, there
isn’t much reason to doubt that a Demo
crat will succeed him, and that Demo
ocrats will succeed Republicans in all
the important offices as rapidly as the
terms of Republican officials expire.
Toe matter that is of the greatest in
terest just now, however, is whether Re
publicans will lie removed before their
terms expire. It is pretty safe to assume
that they will, and that the work of mak
ing the changes will be begun pretty
soon after the Senate adjourns.
What Colored Men are Thinking.
There are indications cropping out that
leading colored men at Washington and
in various parts of the country are begin
ning to think that the transfer of the gov
ernment to the control of the Democratic
party may be a good thing for them.
When the Democratic victory was first
announced a great many colored people
were apprehensive that their rights
would, in some way. be interfered with,
and when they saw there was no cause
for alarm they felt confident that those of
them who were in the public service
would be dismissed as soon as President
Cleveland was inaugurated. The inau
gural address and the attitude of the ad
ministration convinced them, however,
that tbeirrights were just as sale in Demo
cratic as in Republican hands, and that
they will get about as much in the way of
offices from the present administration as
they would have got from the Republicans
if Blaine had iieon elected.
It is not to Ik? expected that much pa
tronage will be distributed among them,
because very few of them have allied
themselves with the Democratic party,
but they would not have got much if
Blaine bad been elected. The Republi
cans have always felt so sure of the ne
gro vote that they reserved the offices for
the white party workers. With a very
few exceptions the colored people receiv
ed only insignificant places. The Demo
crats will not disturb, probably, the col
ored men who hold small places in the
government service. They may even give
places to a few more colored men. If a
considerable portion ot the colored peo
ple had acted with the Democratic party
they would doubtless be treated with pro
per consideration in the matter of offices.
Many of the ablest colored men, it is
believed, recognize the fact that the col
ored people have made a mistake in unit
ing themselves so generally with the
R •publican party. It would not le at nil
surprising, therefore, if Within the next
year or two a very large portion of the
colored people should determine to act
with the Democratic party. It is pretty
certain that in the next national contest
the negro vote will not be entirely con
trolled by the Republican party.
The Fvt raviiftancc of Congress.
It wouldn’t be out of place for Congress
to introduce a little reform into its ex
penditures. Its employes are paid more
liberally than the employes of any other
branch ol the government, and they have
much less to do. The clerks get from
$-2,000 to $:5,000 each per annum, the mes
sengers from $1,440 to SI,BOO, and laborers
from $750 to SI,OOO. These salaries
wouldn’t i>e so large if it were not for the
fact that the most of the employes have
work to do for only ten months of the
twenty-four lor which they are engaged.
In fact they get twenty-five months pay
for doing ten months work, because they
always get an extra month’s pay.
It is probable, however, that there will
be greater extravagance before there will
be retrenchment. The Senators now have
secretaries at the expense of the govern
ment, and it will not be at all surprising
ir Representatives also insist upon having
secretaries.
It would be interesting to see a com
parison or the expenses of a Congress of
the times of Webster, Clay and Calhoun
with the expenses of a Congress of the
present day. It is probable that a million
is spert now where a hundred thousand
was spent then. ,
There is certainly no good reason for
giving the employes of a Congress a
month’s extra pay. It is estimated that
this extra pay for the Congress that has
just expired will amount to SIOO,OOO. Such
extravagance a half century ago would
have aroused indignation throughout the
entire country.
President Cleveland is having the civil
service overhauled to find out the useless
employes in order to dispense with their
services. Quite a number has already
been discharged. The next Congress
might tbllow his example with advantage
to the country. It is safe to say that 10
per cent, more persons is employed by
Congress than there is any need for.
The popular craze for building new
cities has not yet subsided. The Grand
Bend Ileal Estate Company of Chatta
nooga has arranged to purchase the cele
brated Moccasin Bend, opposite Point
Lookout. It is proposed to divide the
land, comprising some three square miles,
into city lots, to open a canal through the
bend and thus secure almost unlimited
water power for manufacturing purposes,
and to build a grand Union university.
It is proposed also to bridge the river and
have railroads to run through the bridge,
and to do many other wonderful things.
Before becoming enthusiastic over this
project it will be well for the reader to
ascertain how Sheffield is progressing,

Let It Stand on Its Merits.
Congress having failed to pass the
river and harbor bill, the Represen
tatives of the Mississippi river section are
divided in opinion with respect to the
best course to pursue in continuing the
work of improving the river. They held
a meeting Monday, and having been in
formed of the amount of money available
for the river, concluded to ask the Presi
dent to so change the membership of the
Mississippi River Commission that it
would favor Capt. Eads’ plan for improv
ing the river.
Some of those present indulged in pretty
sharp criticisms on the River and Harbor
Committee of the last House. They
charged that the committee was respon
sible for the failure of the river and har
bor bill. They further urged that in the
future appropriations for the Mississippi
river should be made in a separate bill.
We are not so much interested in the
plan adopted for the improvement of the
Mississippi river as we are in having the
appropriation for it made in a separate
bill. One of the great objections to the
river and harbor bill is the large amount
which it appropriates. If it were not for
the Mississippi river appropriation it
would be at least a third less. It is prob
able that it would have passed last Con
gress if it had not been loaded down with
that appropriation. The five-million bill
which passed the House was defeated in
the Senate simply because Senator Van
Wyck insisted, for several hours, on talk
ing about the Mississippi river levee sys
tem.
We have no objection to the improve
ment of the Mississippi, but we tlo ob
ject to having appropriations for rivers
and harbors in this section of the South
defeated by the claims of that river.
The Mississippi river people themselves
* ought to see that their Interest is in the
direction of a separate bill. Two small
bills are passed much more readily than
one large one, although the large one ap
propriates no more than the small ones.
The Mississippi river appropriation was
originally put in the river and harbor
bill in order to make that bill help carry
it. It needs no such help now. Congress
Is committed to the improvement ot the
river, and all that is necessary to get an
annual appropriation is to keep the ap
propriation within reasonable limits. We
hope that the Representatives from this
State in next Congress will insist that
the Mississippi river improvement shall
be divoreed from the other public im
provements. It is able now to stand on
its merits.
Water Gas Wins.
The fight between the gas companies is
ended. We did not expect that it would
last long. The people enjoyed it while it
lasted, and would have been glad if it had
continued a good while longer. Such
fights always come to an end too toon for
the people.
The old company has withdrawn
from business, and the new com
pany undertakes to supply gas to the
city. The price at which it will be sup
plied is about as high as it could be rea
sonably put, although a great deal
tower than gas was supplied before
the new company entered the field as a
competitor. Will there 1m? complaints
about large gas bills and poor gas? This
question cannot be answered at present.
The first quarter’s bills under the new
order of things, however, will be scanned
pretty closely, and many of them will be
compared, doubtless, with the bills of the
company that has retired from business.
Advices from Pennsylvania indicate
that almost every Democrat in that State
is a candidate for some kind ot office.
About three-fourths of them want post
offices, and the balance will take any
thing they can get. W. en the terrible
defeat they suffered at the hands of their
Republican neighbors last fall is con
sidered it is very gratifying to know that
not more than one in ten ot them can bo
rewarded.
CURRENT COMMENT.
.Mutual Congratulations.
Washington Star (hid.)
W lien they met at the White House yester
day Sir. Blaine probably congratulated Sir.
Cleveland on his success in reaching the Pres
idency, and Mr Cleveland probably replied
by congratulating Mr. Blaine on his luck in
esca’ ing it. Of the two men. Mr. Blaine may
lead the life more congenial to a philosopher.
No Accident I’robsble.
Xerc York World (Item.)
Finally, onr Republican contemporaries
may gather consolation from the knowledge
that Sir. Cleve'and will “go slow." and hence
that any mistakes he may make will not
be likely to throw tho Democratic train or
the Republic from the track and cause a dis
aster which they would deeply regret.
The Solid Missouri Democracy.
St. Louis Republican (Dem .)
The attempts of Republican malice and
envy to separate the Missouri Democracy
into factious of "Kids” and “Colonels” are
futile. We of Missouri are brethren in
Democracy, linked in aeommonholy brother
hood of principle. There may be differences
in degrees in our colonelcies, blit there are no
"Kills” is contradistinction to Colone’e.
From tho New Madrid bend to the cave of
Henry Clay Dean on the lowa line, we are
all Colonels.
Destroying their Influence.
Xetc York Herald (hid.)
In our judgment there is noway in which
President Cleveland cm so surely and thor
oughly destroy the influence of the Republi
can leaders—such men as Blaine, Kvarts.
etc.—as by refusing to make removals from
office except for cause, and thus establishing
a faithful, nonc9t anil nil partisan civil service.
By strict justice and fair dealing in this mat
ter Mr. Cleveland will rally to Ins support the
good elements of both parlies, who will see
that lie is President of the whole country, and
not merely the head of a section or of a clique
of politicians who rule and use the country
only for their own seltlsh ends.

Anew order of physicians in Boston holds
that mind has control over matter, and that
all diseases will yield to mental force in the
physician. It is popularly called the “mind
cure,” and marvelous stories are told of the
working of this new process in eradicating tho
most obstinate diseases. A scientific training
is said to be needed for effective work along
this line, and its advocates have little sympa
thy with Christianity or its supernatural
forces. But there is another party who aim
to combine science and Christianity, holding
that all discißc is unnatnral and tho result of
sin. No Christian who alt-, inutile true stand
ard of piety need suffer from illness, much
less be the victim of painful disease. Boston
is wrought up considerably over these mat
ters.

SUSIE JOHNSON’S LOVE.
A Beautiful Runaway Pupil from Mary
Sharpe College—Determined Love that
Defies the Watchfulness of the Teach
ers—The Truant Tracked to the Com
mercial Hotel in Nashville and Recap
tured—The Man She Wants to Marry.
Nashville last night witnessed the se
quel to a sensational attempt at a runa
way match, says the American ot March
16, the plot of which was laid at Winches
ter, and whose heroine was a highly re
spected and wealthy pupil of Mary Sharpe
College. The facts of the affair combine
to form quite a romance.
About two weeks ago Miss Susie John
son was brought to Mary Sharpe by her
brother from their home at Cottage (trove,
Tenn. Her father, Mr. J. A. Johnson, is
an influential planterof that section. The
lady was placed in charge of the faculty of
the institution with instructions to waste
neither money nor care in fitting her for
that circle in society to which her native
graces and family connections entitle her.
She duly matriculated and obtained board
at the home of Mr. Hutchins, a prominent
resident of Winchester. She was intelli
gent, and for 10 days applied herself vig
orously to her books with no more ap
parent" predilection toward the sterner
s.' x than one might naturally attribute to
a beautiful miss of 18 summers who had.
indeed, known but not over much the
fascination of receiving manly admira
tion. On last Thursday, however, mat
ters assumed a difterent phase, and the
fair lady demonstrated that she bad a will
of her own that would not ill fit even one
of Black’s heroines.
On that day Mr. J. N. Engles, who, by
the way, bad appeared lit Winchester on
the verv day that Miss Johnson was
brought’to school, presented to Mr. Hutch
ins a letter purporting to be from the
father of the lady, in which he was
granted full permission to visit her. An
interview between the two was granted,
for the gentleman was plausible anil bis
document apparently genuine, and surely
it was thought no harm could come of it.
The visit was deemed merely a friendly
courtesy on his part,but when he requested
a second interview on the same day,
Mr. Hutchins had his suspicions aroused
and communicated the circumstances to
the college faculty. That body agreed
with Mr. Hutchins that the solicitude of
the gentleman to meet the lady was
rather intense for a casual acquaintance
ship, and prudently forbade granting
his request. The lady seemed to little
care that affairs had taken this turn, and
it was believed the affair was at an end.
Not so, however. Bright and early Eri
day morning a billet doux, directed to
Miss Johnson, was presented by a sable
messenger at the front door of Mr.
Hutchins.
That gentleman refused to accept or
transmit it to bis boarder, and it was re
turned to Mr. Engles, who the lad said
had sent it. At noon another note came
in and met a similar fate. Mr. Hutch
ins was now on the alert, and watched
every move on the checker-board. The
gentle subject at these machinations was
then poring over Shelly and Ganot
within the walls of Mary Sharpe, but at
5 o’clock she was at leisure, and
strolled back to her boarding house.
Mr. Hutchins met her at the door,
but her lace was so bland and her
air so gentle that the faithful guardian
was half persuaded that it was all a
dream, and no direful love escapade was
on foot. The docile mis3 had hardly
lain down her satchel of books ’ere an
other note from Mr. Engles put in its
appearance. She heard ot its presenta
tion. but still manifested no chagrin over
a failure to read its contents. Mr. Hutch
ins at tills point hurriedly laid the fast
accumulating facts before the faculty.
They were now all deeply anxious and
doubly wary. Saturday morning was
void of developments. About 0 o’clock
the thunder commenced to roll, and the
contest between pupil and tutors began
in dead earnest. At that hour Mr.
Engles went to the couit house and ob
tained license to wed the beautiful Susie,
lie solicited secrecv, but in vain, and
baldly had he put the document in his
pocket ere a messenger was dispatched
to the college informing the faculty of the
fact. A runaway marriage was evidently
on toot, l’rofs. A. T. Barrett and J. M.
Bledsoe and Mr. Hutchins were appointed
a committee of three to foil all plans.
Mr. Hutchins kept guard over the lady
all the afternoon, but refrained from tell
ing her that sue was under surveillance.
She then began to manifest uneasiness.
About dusk it was discovered that the
persistent lover had baffled all eyes, and
gotten a note into the hands of liis lady
love while on her way to school on that
morning. It was surmised that her grow
ing nervousness and the license meant ?.n
attempt to marry that night. According
ly the two professors came over in haste
to 31 r. Hutchins and there held
a consultation. Tho result was
that they secreted themselves in
his front yard when darkness had
well arrived and awaited developments.
About 11 o’clock they came. At that
time the streets were deserted, the rattle
of approaching wheels was heard, ar.d a
hack drove rapidly up to tho pavement
and the daring lover alighted. He had
made but two or three strides to
ward the gate ere the professors
pounced upon him. They informed him
that his plan was discovered and all was
over. He took it like a man, and folding
his arms, told the Arguses that he would
win in spite of them; turned on his heel,
re-entered his carriage and was driven
off. The professors then passed into
the house, and were escorted by Mr.
Hutchins to tiie lady’s room. They
knocked, beard a response and entered.
The lady was dressed and stood at the
window with her bonnet firmly- fastened,
and traveling satchel in her hand. At
sight of them she shrieked and fainted.
Restoratives were applied, and in a few
moments she recovered. She grew vio
lent. and swore that she was determined
to marry tho man that she loved, and 11c
power could balk her. Finally she be
came quiet. She was told that she must
go homo by Prof. Barrett, and that she
must he ready to accompany him 011 the
7 o’clock train.
She said she would go, and accordingly
they reached Nashville at noon yesterday,
and went to the Nicholson House. She
was given a room and promised to re
main there. She then appeared willing
to go home, and sorry that she had acted
as she did. She ate dinner and went back
to her room. At 5 o’clock Prof. Barrett
knocked at her door. Hearing no re
sponse he entered and found the bird had
flown. The following note lay on tho ta
ble)
I’BOFESSOR--I have gone with one of En
gles’ iriemls to Dixon, and perhaps will lie
married by the time vou read this. I would
not have done it. but under the circumstances
I think best if we don’t live together two
weeks. 80 vou will please burn this. I am
going to dispatch home to papa. Manv
thanks to vou for your kindness. You need
not go to any more trouble, for ’twill all bo
useless. Susie.
The Professor was thrown into a fever
of excitement and commenced to search.
At 10 o’clock he was joined by Mr. J. W,
Baldridge, a cousin ot the lady, and to
gether they scoured tho city. They
hunted everywhere, but in vain, and after
midnight retired to their rooms. But all
was not ended. About 12:30 o’clock an
American reporter, while examining the
register of the Uommercial Hotel, noticed
the name of “Miss S. Johnson, Carters
ville,” on the register.
He inquired if she was traveling alone.
The clerk replied “yes.” Subsequently
he learned that two gentlemen who had
registered at the Nicholson had been look
ing tor a young lady at another hotel.
He put two and two together, andhurried
to the Nicholson, awoke the gentlemen,
and gave them the clue he had discovered.
They were overjoyed, declared that the
girl at the Commercial must be the one
they wanted, and sallied forth.
The reporter accompanied the Professor
and h>s almost frenzied companion to the
Commercial Hotel, where the trio looked
upon the register and there saw recorded
in the angular bandwriting that is pecu
liar to school girls of this decade: “Miss
S. Johnson. Cartersville, Tenn.,” and
that room No. 14 had been assigned to
her. Mr. Baldridge informed the hotel
clerk of the state of affairs and also of
his relationship to the young .girl, and
asked to be shown to her room at once.
The clerk immediately sent the porter
with a kev and bad the door opened.
A light was burning brightly in the
room and the escaped 3liss was lying
souud asleep in the bed. Her hair
was done up in what seemed to be white
papers, which the reporter afterward as r
certained were for curling purposes. The
Professor touched her and she instantly
awaked w ith a start, and half suppressed
shriek. A consciousness of her condition
dawned at once upon her, and she threw
up her arms and exclaimed: “Oh, Lord,
I’m found, I’m lound.” She at first re
fused to look gt anybody, but. turning her
face to the wall, and jerked the cover up
over her head and entire body. Mr. Bald
ridge persisted in trying to talk to her,
and at last, by assuring her that it was
not too late to retrace her steps and es
cape the terrible future that awaited her
If she persisted, got her attention.
The Professor and the reporter here left
the room, while Mr. Baldridge continued
for about fifteen minutes in conversation
with the wayward girl, and at last ob
tained from her the agreement to dress
and leave the hotel with him. The two
friends considered that every moment was
valuable, as the girl’s lover was expected
to arrive at 1 o’clock and meet her at the
Commercial Ilotel. This was known
from what the clerk told him. He said
that she had twice telegraphed Engles to
come at once to the Commercial.
After some little time Miss Johnson
made her appearance. She was a re
markably pretty girl, with black hair,
dark brown eyes, much swollen from ex
cessive weeping, fair complexion and
graceful, rather plump figure. She was
evidently not more than 18 years old, and
seemed to be full of the impulsiveness and
ardor that is characteristic ot the age.
When she made her appearance, she was
dressed very nicely in a brown worsted
dress,a gray’closely-fitting cloak, and a hat
that sat jauntily back upon her head.
Before entering the carriage that bad
been summoned she veiled herself closely.
The party then proceeded to Gilchrist’s
Hotel, where they spent the night.
If they succeeded in retaining possession
of their fair captive, they will leave at T
o’clock this morning for Cottage Glove,
where the young lady will be turned over
to her parents.
It was ascertained that Engles was a
young widower who had known the lady
for years; and further that this is the
second attempt she has made to rnn
away, the first being when she was 14
year's of age.
TILDEN FAST FAILING.
A Republican Humor Says lie I* Strug
gling to Retain His Physical rower.
New York, March IC.—The resigna
tion by Samuel J. Tilden of directorships
in three stock companies in which he is
a heavy owner, has caused some talk
among financiers. He has also been so
careful to be a controller of his own in
vestments that search has been made for
a reason tor the change of policy. The
true one undoubtedly is that he can no
longer hope to regain sufficient strength
tor the slightest activity. For the first
time in his life he has spent a winter en
tirely away from this city. His sump
tuous mansion in Gramercv Park, com
plete in ail its decorations and luxurious
furniture, even to the paintings
on the walls, has no other occu
pant than a watchmaft. Tilden has
not come down from Grevstone,
his country place on the Hudson, since
last summer—September—nor has he been
aboard his yacht, though it was fitted up
in the fall with the ' means of comfort for
a cruise which its owner was understood
to contemplate. Nobody is nearer to him
than John Bigelow, who says: “Mr. Til
den was never in greater mental vigor
than he is to-day. The best advice which
the managers of Mr. Cleveland’s cam
paign got in the canvass was from him.”
But he would tell nothing concerning
Tilden’s physical condition. A man in
equally favorable position to know the
truth says: “Tilden will never leave
Greystone alive. He knows it, and that
is the cause of his retirement from the di
rectories of railroad companies. His
health began to fail alarmingly during
bis Presidential campaign of 1876, and he
has steadily lost strength. I remember
that, on his departure Tor a European trip
in the ensuing year, a notable reception
was given to him,on which occasion he had
to be literally carried into the house where
the ceremonies were held. That was his
last attempt to make a public speech. He
has since attended two meetings, but only
as an auditor. He is now helpless to an
extent appalling to the very few who get
the opportunity to see him. Still, he firm
ly believes that he will improve in health
—so much so, that I believe he even hopes
to be a Presidential candidate in 1888. It
was reluctantly that he became convinced
of his physical inability to take the nomi
nation last summer, and his willingness
to be an adviser to President Cleveland is
due to an anxiety to contribute to a suc
cesstul administration, in order to
strengthen the party for bis own ensuing
campaign.” Such talk may be purely
speculative, but it comes fromasoarce
which makes it intere-ting. The more
important fact is that Tiiden is very low,
and, in spite of any possible expectation
of future political activity, is getting his
financial allairs in shape for death.

AN ALMOST ENTIRELY NEW STOCK!
MR. STERNBERG DESIRES TO ACQUAINT HIS PATRONS AND THE PUI’LIC AT
LARGE that he has just returned from New York with an exquisite selection, of D1 V
MONDS, BATCHES and JEWELRY of all kinds, far superior to anv ever seen in .this city
under one roof. Owing to the extreme dullness of the trade in New York amt all over this
country, he has found the Wholesale trade and Manufacturers of Jewelry extremely auxious
to realize at. any price. In most cases, strange as it may- appear, they were wilting to dis
pose of their wares at almost the actual cost of the Gobi, and, in consequence, I feel gratified
in saying that I have not only the NEWEST STYLES, but the CHEAPEST GOODS IN SA
VANNAH. and, as I am willing to part with them at a small advance on cost, I consider .it a
rare opportunity for the purchase of goods in my line-an opportunity that will not occur
again very soon. I feel that my reputation is sufficiently established that I need not again
assure the public that my goods are as reliable as if they were purchased of a liivli-nncec
establishment at TWICK THE ACTUAL VALUE. 1
