Tbo Bargain Store, ever ready and anx
ious to bring thcinnelveH aud their goods
prominent before the public, have intro
duced a new plan to benefit their cus
tomers, in the following way, which, if
the different ways and means adopted by
other firms lo draw trade for is taken in
consideration, supersedes any thing in its
line. It is not in the shape of a drawing
or a gift to the largest purchaser, or the
lucky owner of a ticket, but it is a plain
greenback certificate in size aud color of
tne regular twenty-five ceuts paper cur
rency, und calls for (25c) twenty-five
cents for every rurchaseof (#5 00) Fife
Dollars wonh of goods bought at lhe
Bargain Store.
We have only a limited amount of these
tickets, and paities wishing *o save tw»u-
ty-five cents on every Five Dollars will
please call at once and ask for tlism. To
those not understanding the above de.
sciiption, wo will slate plaiuly, that in
purchasing tire do 1 ira worth of good-,
from us, we w ill lake four dollars and
seventy-five cents iu money and the
twenty-five cents ticket.
Having adopted this inode of offering
induct tu nts lo the pstrous of the Bar
gain Store, the Proprietor assures ull,
that it will in no way interfere with his
motto i f Quick Sales tn I Small Pr 'fits,
goods for less at retail than the regular
merchaut can buy them at w holesale.
We will make mention of the fact that
money is anil has bo»u very semee in the
past f.iw months, and considering this,
wo have dt-termin^d to still lower the j
| prices on all our goods. Our stock is i
j c iiiplete in all its brandies, and we htc j
determined to sell, profit or no profit,
cost or no cost.
We continue to sell all Pornewtics nt '
j stiic ly factory prices and have a large
' assortment in « very line. We continue I
i to r.c ive goods bouuht from auction :
and chance sales and off r special drives j
! d seasonable goods often at one-fourih
, of their original cost.

FRAUDS IN THE PENSIONS.
Commissioner Block to-day is
sued ihe following circular:
"To Pension Agen.s: Investi
gation now in progress show that
ting the mouth of his pistol to its
bead, he pulled the trigger, and the
centipede was gone. But a centi
pede's claws are quicker than gun
powder, and Cruca began to cramp
in a few minutes. The track of the
insectalong his leg turned a brown
ish yellow, and the place where it
was killed swelled up frightlullr.
Cruca rapidly grew worse, and in a
little over four hours afterward he
died in great agony. But the most
singular pait of the story is that
the bullet from Cruea's revolver
cut a small nick in the foreleg of a
mule that was tethered near by,
and at daylight the next morning
the ruule was also dead, with the
leg so swollen that the skin had
burst in several places.

from the beginning until tbe ending
of the d nner some one is on tbe
floor sing'ng, dancing, telling a
story, making a speech, doing a
card trick or amusing the company
in some original manner. Actors

When Gen. Grant became Presi
dent, in 1869, although there had
been lew changes made by Mr.
Johnson during bis term, tie im
mediately recalled every minister
of tbe United States, with perhaps
the single excep ion of Mr. Maish,
who was retained in Italy through
Hie influence of Senator Edmunds.
The present incumbents do not
relish the revival of this principle
of rotation, bnt Mr. Bayard holds
that the ministers abroad should
stand in relation to the department,
so far as public policy is concerned,
precisely as Hie cabinet officers do
to the President,
