There must be "a day of small things”
moratory as in everything else, and all
mtr great public speakers have realized
this. Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd
Garrison, Henry Clay and hosts of other
celebrated men trypan talking to small
•tuliences in country villages without
Mupusation but by each effort building
up the reputation that was to be fame.
hi my own experience the revelation
that 1 might be a speaker came to me
ts t end: Utter l was married. I had al
ways Wen a talker at home, being the
t: rail -r of the family willed upon to en-
trtbiin guests, but in the conservative
c ribs of my retiring the thought of
public speech in a woman was regarded
with horror.

bis lost by this prejudice. Edmund
b'arkv haj a sister, Mrs. Fraser, who was
famous tis a conversationalist and who,
Ui opportunity been given, might have
nuiled him tis an orator; for it is safe

speaker.

The Fashions of Paris.
Jackets for the young and middle
aged are oftener seen now in fee gay
Paris streets than any other form of
outdoor garment There are two styles:
the ehort jacket, somewhat in the
reefer style, with pretty little pockets
Bet rakishly askew. The high Russian
or Medici collar is indispensable in
some sort of fur, or else of the material
of the garment, covered with rich pas
sementerie trimming in arabesque pat
tern. In this case the sleeves are alec
covered with this trimming. But fur
is everywhere, on dresses, jackets, long
wraps and hats and around the tops of
children’s boots.
Every kind of fur is seen, and ruffs of
cock’s feathers as well as long boas and
short ones are worn. A most beautiful
reception dress was mado of old rose la
dies’ cloth, gathered plainly in the back
and with the front breadth slightly
wrinkled.
The very coarse tweeds and English
homespun materials with rough and tuft
ed surfaces for walking dresses are grow
ing steadily in favor. Batin, after many
seasons’ undeserved disuse, is now a fa
vorite material for handsome dreesee.

In the second round Slavin directed
his blows at Kilrain’s ribs directly under
the heart, and he landed too many of
them to please Kilrain’s friends. Not
withstanding this, Kilrain again had the
best of the round. He nearly knocked
Slavin over tlie ropes by a blow, on the
neck, and hammered SI ivin’s head and
face unmercifully.
In the third round Kilrain again
pounded Slavin to the ropes, but this
seemed to exhaust his strength. Slavin
struck Kilrain under the left ear and
knocked him flat. He got up, rallied
and clinched, but in the break away was
again knocked down. The gong saved
him from defeat in this round. He was
in great distress. His seconds braced
him up, and he managed to respond to
the call of "time,” but Slavin hit him os
he pleased. Kilrain was knocked down
four times, and he was bleeding in
stream? from a broken nose. Kilrain’s
only hope was in clinching tactics, but
eacii time he tried it he received terrible
punishment in his ribs.

In the fifth round, Kllrain was again
knocked down and nearly knocked out,
but ho rallied.
In the sixth round he was little more
than a chopping block for Slavin. He
got in several blows, but they had no
force.
In the sixth and seventh rounds only
the friendly gong saved Kilrain from
defeat.
In the eighth round it was only a ques
tion of endurance on Kilrain’s part. He
was heljplees to defend himself or
mischief.
In the ninth round, Kilrain started in
pretty good shape, and managed to get
m a couple of blows on STavin’s head,
but they had no force. Slavin, on the
other hand, was hitting as fearlessly as
ever. Finally Slavin hit Jake a tembli
left-hander on the neck, and Jake went
down as if shot; but, still game, Jake
slowly and painfully rose and reeled,
and as the gong sounded, had to be car
ried to his corner, and Referee Jere

Wishing to largely increase the circulation of this
paper during the next six months, we have made
arrangements with a New York publishing house
whereby we are enabled to offer as a premium to our
eubeoribers a Set of the Works of Charles Dick
ens, in Twelve Large and Handsome
Volumes, with a year’s subscription to this
paper, ior a trifle more than our regular sub
scription price. Onr great offer to eubeoribers
eclipses any ever heretofore made. Charles
Dickens was the greatest novelist who ever
lived. No author before or since his time has
won the fame that he achieved, and his works
are even more popular to-day than during
his lifetime. They abound m wit. humor,
pathos, masterly delineation of character,
vivid descriptions ol places and incidents,
thrilling and skillfully wrought plots. Each
book is intensely interesting. No home should
be without a set of these great and remark
able works. Not to have read them is to be
far behind the age in which we live. The

K imium to our subscribers is handsomely printed from entirely new plates, with new type.

EDWIN DROOD.
TBie above are without question the most famous novels that were ever written. For a
v Amy have been celebrated in every nook and corner of the civilized
world. Yet mere are thousands of homes in America not yet supplied with a set of Dickens,
the usual high cost of the books preventing people in moderate circumstances from enjoying
this luxury. But now, owing to the use of modem improved printing, folding and'stitching
machinery, the extremely low price of white paper, and the great competition in the book
trade, we are enabled to offer to our subscribers and readers a set of Dickens’ works at a
prioe which all can afford to pay. Every home in the land may now be supplied with a set
of the great author’s works.
