[Denver Opinion,] There are many varleti si of the genus tnulee. There’s the smile that’s childlike and blend, the cultivated smile, and the plebeian anile that rlpplet forth like the first Joyous laugh of ths boiler factory, and that spreads out with a gurgle that dueei the eye, trota out the svisdom teeth and than •bows a roguish dimple In the tonsils. There might be enumerated, also, the classical smile, the subdued smile, the parlor smile, the eaorad smile, the before-election smile, and the after-election smile. Then we here the etage smile and the por trait smile.

An Appropriate Hymn. (Christina Standard.} At u recent Sunday school meeting in Chicago a long-winded clergyman consumed too much of the time with a wordy address, When he sat down the leader of the meet in? unwittingly announce.1 the hymn beginning, "Hallelujah! ’ti* done!” A Patriotic Irlwh Statesman. A joy 1 do not feet. Joy is something that wo cannot eeite ruthlessly and lead it into the photograph er’s laboratory by the ear. I’ve tried tliat. 1 always leave my umbrella and my hope behind when I go into the photographer’s gilded hell. I can laugh while the dentist pulls out my sound teeth and plugs the poor ones, and I can even be gay while nature and the cucumber of commerce are engaged in mortal combat, but I cannot affect a joy tlwt I do not feel while the cast-iron hat- ruck of the artist leans against my love of homo, and the artist bids me look at a place on the wall that is freckled with iodine. I am poaitive that the art of photograph ing is upon the eve of u graud stride toward perfection. Those who have never soen any thing on the eve of a grand stride will find little of interest in what I am about to say; but the day is not far distant vhen uo sane man will have his photograph pulled with out the administration of an anaesthetic. Cut this out and see If I am not right. That Statue of Liberty Again iPuck.] TB* LATE ALEXANDER K. BULUVaN. 1be cause of good government in Ireland reieired a severe blow by the death of Mr. A M.

Here goods arrive and disappear rapidly. On the Qrst of September last this new store was opened with ons ot (he largest stock, of Dry bloods, Clothing, Cloaks, Hats, Shoes and Millinery ever brought to Ameri cus. Every day since then, new and fresh goods bought by tlielr New York bnyer arrived, and now hs finds himself compelled Ok go to New York to make bis second com* pletc purchase in all lines. Never lias anything happened to equal it in tho history of the Americus dry goods trade. Tho only and best reason that nan bo assigned to this extraordi nary success, may be summed up in tbe pluck and enterprise used by tbe proprietor, and the fact that the purchaser Is not slow to find out that ininn is tbe place to trade. While other merchants have held their goods at regular prices and profits, he saw fit to reduce bis entire stock to such prioes and profits tliat would meet tbe approv al of everybody and everybody’s pocket, and succeeded with flatMr- ing success. But we are not near at the end yet. Money is getting scarcer daily. Still harder times arc coming, and what will be tbe final result Is better imagined than told. The Barga’n Store man’s pro gramme will be a regular march. He proposes to march down with the prices oi all his goods yet In stock, in order to march to Mow York with the proceeds to buy goods lower than they were bought before. In order to raise as much money as possible, tbe Bargain Store offer* before his leaving during this week extraordinary inducements to everybody, including country mer chants. Goods will be sold regard less of o'ist, price or profit. Respectfully, S. M. COHEN, The Bargain Man. Cotton Avenue. Sign of red flag, opposite Bank of Americus. 2C6th EDITION.
