<<jTWO MARVELOUS CIGARS! |>o
THE GREAT CIGAR OF THE DAY.
-Grand Republic “CigarrosRive Cents Each-
Has no connection with usual grades sold at 5 cents. Extensively imitated.
Don’t be deceived by counterfeits. “Grand Republic Cigarros” (Factory 200, New York), are the FIRST, the
ORIGINAL, and the ONLY GENUINE ALL HAVANA FILLED “CIGARROS.” All others are mere servile
copies of outside looks only. Outside looks are easy to imitate. The “nut to crack” is the “material.” Our
Cigarros are positively all Havana Long Filler with Sumatra Wrapper of highest grade, addressed to critical tastes.
That nut is too hard for the copyists. They float their poor counterfeits with larger profit to retailers, hoping to hood
wink both retailers and smokers. They know they cannot crack the nut. It don’t suit false teeth, aud falsity is falsity,
as truth is truth. All the counterfeits have failed. “Grand Republic Cigarros” sweep all before them. ’
As leading and responsible manufacturers, we ask the confidence of the public in the truth of our statements

THE INVENTOB OF ROLLER SKATES.
He whs l’oor, bat HI. inventive Genius
MiwIh Him Rich In Two Yenr..
There is an interesting history as to the
iuveuiiuu ui roue* s.ateS, says t&s St
Louis Globe. In Richmond, Ind., lived
Micajah Ilenicy, a poor young man who
sawed wood for a livelihood, but who was
energetic and always looking nround for a
chance to trade aud barter nnd make an
honost dollar. Another poos man of the
town invented a roller skate which was
crude in construction and not n success.
Young Henley, fortunately, possessed, an
inventive genius, and he saw in a twink
ling that the skate could be improved
upon, or, rather, that it was merely «n
idea to work out to a full nnd complete
invention. He purchased the right for a
trifle, and set to work to perfect the in
vention. When he had worked ou^ the
idea and demonstrated that he had in’den
successful invention, he found he had no
money to procure a patent on his improved
mode), which was entirely diflerent from
the patent right he had purchased. Hen
ley tried to interest several moneyed men
in the invention and get them to establish
a maimfai lory, a- lie was < ..i:ti !i nt of
making a fortune out of it, but he was an
swered with laughter. IIU invention was
looked upon as a foolish tiling—a trifle too
small for a dignified capitalist to become
assjeiated with, but Henley, with a won
derful yHil and a firm conbdence that a
fortnne lay ahead of him, managed to
scrape together a few hundred dollars and
then began the manufacture of roller-
skatesin an old barn. As the profits were
immense—from 200 to 500 per cent.—he
soon increased hU trade and capital many
fold. The craze started over the entire
country, and orders poured in uprn him
so fast that in a few months he had no
trouble in securing financial backing
from the very men who had fos-
merly laughed at hU invention
as foolish. Ho erected an immense
brick building than whieh no one com
mercial building of tiiat sta'o has more
square feet of rxifing, and established the
greatest roller-skate manufactory in Ahe
world. He prospered, atd but two j (Tars
after he had been sawing wood for a living
was worth 5250,000, and owned one of the
most cosily and beautiful residences in the
little town in which he lived. HU phe
nomenal success in- pired other* to enter
.he business, and, Augncttii'liStr, iitCIt
an over-rush. No lets than twenty-seven
roller-state manufactories went up in the
city, and it became the great center
of the trade. But when the craze died
they |ietered out with it. Henley'a manu
factory U the only one remaining, and it
U now piincipally devoted to the manu
facture of patent wire fencing and other
inventions. •

The Siamese ape U said to to be in great
request among Siamese merchants as a
cashier in their counting houses. Vast
quantities of base coin obtain circnlation
in Finn, and the faculty of discrimination
between good money and bad would ap
pear to be poneased by these gifted monk
eys in each an exraordinary degree of de
velopment that m human being, however
carefully trained, can compete with
them. The cashier ape meditatively puts
into bu mouth each coin presented to him
in busier— payments, and tests it with
great deliberation. HU method of tilting
is regarded in commercial circle* as infal
lible, and, as a matter of fact, bU decision
U uniformly accepted by all partite inter

FIIASCE FEELS LIKE FIGUTING.
Crashing to Aruilciul Kgs-.
The artificial egg factory, which was
started at Newark in 1883, has been closed,
and the industry os such has collapsed.
Tbs operators of the company and its
methods of working have of late been
kept a profound secret, not only from the
gcne-al public, but also from the stock
holders. There seems to have been a
reckless outlay of money in managing the
affairs of the concern, which has helped
bring about the final collapse.
A large shipment of experimental eggs
with new process shells failed to Btand the
heat of the tropica in 1886, anil the corae-
quence was a claim lor damages. A gen
tleman who pretends to know a little
about the matter, says that tho concern
never made a dollar, and that its aflaira

Yes, Let Ua lie Picturesque.
From the St. James Gazette.
hy should not men wear embroidered
evening clothes? For considerably more
than a century women have had a monop-
1 oly of sumptuary elegance and it is time
that the longing for fine raiment which re
sides in the bosom of every man (if he
would only admit it) should be gratified.
It is proposed to differentiate the gentle
man who goes out in the evening to amuse
himself, or because he cannot help it,
from the gentlem m who wait* upon him,
by placing a strip of embroidery upon
each lrg of his continuations. We hope it
will be dupe, and that the movement in
favor of picturesque male at'ire will not
atop there. Let us have silken waistcoats
and cerulean velvet pampa and shoe* of
red morocco adorned with rosettes and
something in the nature ;f a doabM
J iinked and slashed with divers hues. Thu
athion would be a heavy blow to the
tradesmen who let oat dress sniU on hire
by the evening or by tbe week.
Predictions or nu Knrly War Wltli Ger.
umny—lloulnnger’s Affairs.
From tho 8t. Louis Republic.
1'Aftis, Dec. o.—France can probably
boast of a more completely mixed up state
of affairs, politically, than any other na
tion that is or has been on this earth. For
an outsider to attempt to form an opinion
ns to what will happen is nonsense. A
careful study made in Paris during the
early part of the week proved tome that
tho French themselves could only guess
vaguely and that their guesses were gener
ally wrong. A few months ago they
guessed that Boulanger was dead and
buried. Today he is positively a greater
man than ever. On Sunday morning tho
Frenchmen were positive that the Boudin
demonstration would be accompanied by
bloodshed, but it was about the mildest
big political demonstration that I have
ever seen in France. The only thing
which is perfectly sure is that the present
state of things cannot go on, but no one
has a good theory os to what statu of
things will follow.
Camille Dreyfuss, a clever writer and a
leading member of the Chamber of Depu
ties, urges war upon Germany as a means
cf clearing up the trouble. France, he
ssys, has spent two thousand millioi s on
her army; her artillery is the be t in
Europe: her rifle is supeiior to all others,
and if she is not ready to fight r.ow, when
will she be? and if she is reads what is
she wailing for? He demands that every
German shall be turned out of France
and the war begun.
M. Bourgeois, deputy from tho Jur.i,
whom I have known for years as a Re
publican of tbe conservative type, and one
oppoa-d to war, expressed to me Ids opln-
ion that it could do longer be delayed.
1 he indolence of the Germans was unbear
able, and the best way for the government
to do away with its internal troubles and
silence the factions opposed to them would
be to rush into a war which would unite
ail Frenchmen, and stand or fall by the
result,

From the Pocatells (Idaho) Reporter.
Engineer O’Mnlie of the Oregon Short
Line, who runs the helperont from Glenn’s
I'erry. killed a deer out of the cab win
dow last Thursday while tbe train was un
der good headway. Theze were two deer
about one hundred yards from the engine,
and O Malie took a couple of shots at
them with his Winchester, knocking over
one of them. The other ran direct! v up
lo the engine and then O’Maiie lost his
head. He got so rattled that he could not
(It the shell out of Lis gun. Then lie tried
to hit it with the monkeywrench, ami
finally attempted to jump on its back, but
was restrained by the fireman. At any
rate, daring the excitement the deer got
away. The dead one waa picked upon
the retunf of the helper, and O’Mailie and
his friends have been reveling in venison
ever since.

(ierman Intercut* In Africa#
From the Manchester (K. II.) Union.
It is a queer story which comes from
the east coast of Africa, by way of Lon-
with slaves and money, which had fought
their way through the coast tribes, were
equipped witli arms and ammunition by
tiie Germans and sent back to fight the
tribes again. There was every reason why
the coast tribe of negroes should hate
these Arab slavers and fight them at every
opportunity. The Arabs seize their wives
and children and carry them off into
slavery, killing thpse they cannot capture,
and the negro tribes would be lacking in
even so much of independent spirit as is
manifested by brutes if they did not resist
their enemies to the bitter end. The
course of the Germans credited witli thus
ding kidnapers and slave drivers should
arouse the indignation of the entire
civil zed world, and it certainly goes far
to confirm the suspicion that the present
blockade about Zanzibar has been de
clared for some other reason tban the
humane purpose assigned by the German
government.
A Lost Friend.
My frlcml ho war; my friend from all the reat,
With childlike faith beonc'd to me his breast;
No door was locked on altar, grave or grief;
No weakness veiled, hidden no disbelief.
The hope, tho sorrow, and the wrong wer#
bare,
And, ah! tho shadow only showed the fair.
I gave him lovo for love, but deep within
I imignitled each frailty Into sin:
Each hill topped foible In the aunset glowed,
obscuring vafes where rlvered virtues flowed;
Reproof became reproach, till common grew
The captions word »t every fault I knew.
He smiled upon the censorship and boro
With I litI. I11 love tin- ttiic li that wounded sore;
Until at length,so had my blindness grown,
lie knew I Judged him by his faults alone.
Alone, of all men. I who knew hfin best,
Refused tho gold, to take the dross for test!
Cold strangers honored for tbe worth they saw;
Ills friend forgot the diamond In the flaw.
At last It camc-thc day he stood apart.
When from my eyes he proudly yelled his
heart;
When carping Judgment and uncertain word
A stern resentment In bis bosom stirred;
V lien in Ills fin e I re id u iint I loot In'll.
And with his vision saw what he bad seen.
Too late! too late! Oh, could ho then have
known
When his lovo died that mine had perfect
grown; . . _ .
That when the veil waa drawn, abused, chas
tised.
The censor stood, tne tost one truly prized.
Too late we learn a man must hold his friend
Uojudged. accented, fauiileu to the end.
