A Rich Woman’s Penuriousness.
The deposit which Mrs..E. H. Green, the
richest woman in America, sought to with
draw from John J. Cisco A Son, N“W York
bankers, was $400,000, and not $1,500,000 as
stated last week by a New York paper. Mrs.
’Green and her father, from whom she in
herited her wealth, according to the state
ment of a gentleman who is well acquainted
with the business of the suspended banking
firm, “had kept an account with Cisco & Son
for many years. When she heard the ru
mors as to the firm’s solvency which were
put afloat two weeks ago, she at once wrote
to the firm from Bellows Falls, Vt., de
manding the transfer of her account to an
other bank in New York. The Ciscos wrote
in reply that they could not pay out $400,-
•000 in cash on such short notice without
prejudicing the interests of other creditors.
They asked for time, and said that all
would be right. She wrote back, insisting
upon having her money at once. The firm
wrote in reply, informing Mrs. Green, it is
said, that her husband owed them about
SBOO,OOO. She refused to recognize this
claim, and threatened to bring suit at once for
her money. Then the firm made an a: ign
ment, so as to put all their creditors on an
equal footing. This is the true story of Mrs
■Green’s relations with the firm. If she had
not been so importunate for her money the
house would probably not have been oblige d
to suspend. Mrs. Green is a very wealthy
woman. She is worth about $40,000,000,
and there are $26,000,000 worth of her secur
ities in the Cisco vaults. Os course they are
not affected by the failure, as they are held
in trust,”
Was Gen. Sherman Truly Loyal?
A Richmond, Virginia special states
that Mr. E. M. Richeson, a thoroughly
reliable gentleman of that city, who was
proprietor of a wharf boat at Vicksburg,
Miss., at the breaking out of the war,
makes public the substance of an
interview he had at that period with Ma
jor, now Gen. W. T.Sherman. Mr. Richeson
says he was aroused from sleep one night by
Captain Spotts, of the steamer Eclipse, who
introduced him to Major Sherma’ who
•was then in command of the Regulars being
transported from Baton Rouge arsenal to
the Northern side of the line. Major Sher
man said: “Mr. Richeson, I had you waked
up to ask if you would be kind enough to
take charge of the corpse of one of my men
and have the body decently interred?” Mr.
Richeson told him he would. He then
■asked the Major what he thought of the sit
uation. “Go you think there will be war,
..Major?” Major Sherman said: “Mr. Rich
meson, I am afraid there will be trouble,”
and then added, (in substance,) “I have
spent many years in the South, where 1
have received only the kindest treatment,
and before 1 would fight against those peo
ple I would lose my right arm.” Mr
Richeson says he is curious to know whether
Gen. Sherman remembers this interview.

“So you say you cannot help me get the
Post Office?”
“I am sorry, but I cannot?”
“Didn’t you tell me that if I voted for
you for Congress you would be under ever
lasting obligations to me?”
“Yes.”
“Well-”
“But you see if I should get you the Post
Office I would be paying off the obliga
tion.”
“Certainly.”
“And I promised that the obligation
should be everlasting. I must keep my
promise, sir.”

“Georgie, dear, said she, “didn’t you say
that you spent last Christmas in the South? ’
“Yes, Kitty, and I enjoyed it very much.”
“I suppose you did some kissing under
the mistletoe, didn’t you, Georgie, dear?
You know that is the favorite amusement in
that section.”
"i—l—no—l”
“What ? Didn’t you kiss under the mis
tletoe ?”
“She —I —she told me to, but I—I.”
“Why didn’t you do it, then?”
“Why, I wasn’t going to kiss her foot.”
A Distinction With a Difference.
A little girl who had been invited to a
wedding was besieging her mother to let
her go.
“I want to see some one married awfully,”
she announced as a climax.
“You should not use such emphatic lan
guage,” remonstrated her mother.
“Well, then, mamma, I want to see some
one awfully married,” amended Miss Mala
pert—Portland Argus.
Why the Lawyer Wished He Was An

“1 wish I was an owl,” said the young
lawyer, as he gently felt the dimensions of
her alligator belt.
“Why ?” she asked.
“Because I could stay all night, you
Enow, dear,” he replied.
“What would you want to do such a ri
diculous thing as that for ?” she tittered.
“To wit: To woo.”

And some funny people in it, too. You
have all come in contact with some that
are never satisfied. They grumble from
morning until night—we heard a man
even grumble in bed. That man would
grumble at any thing ard every thing,
without reason; but this week we heard
a gentleman grumble with good reason.
He bought a suit of clothes and paid a
good old fashioned price for it, and, hap
pening to come into the “Famous,” he
was shown a suit of the same class of
goods, and our price was $8 less than he
had paid. That gentleman had good rea
son to find fault, and grumbled at his
bad luck; but it will be a good lesson to
him, ami he will buy of the “Famous”
next time. We are through taking stock,
and now comes our annual clearing sale.
We will sell you anything in our line at
manufacturers’ cost. Our prize system
has worked charmingly, and we made
dozens of people happy by giving them
prizes. We will keep it up. Call, and
we will not only give you better goods,
cheaper than you can buy any where, but
give a prize to every twentieth purchaser
in the bargain. “Famous,” 140 Congress

When you come to think of it, it is not
odd that literary people prefer a pipe to a
cigar. It is handier to smoke when they
are writing, and ever so much cleaner.
And then it gives them the true essence
i and flavor of the tobacco.
The most fastidious smokers among all
nations and all classes of men agree that
the tobacco grown on the Golden Tobacco
Belt of North Carolina is the most delic
ious and refined in the world. Lighter
1 than Turkish, more fragrant than Havana,
’ freer from nitrates and nicotine than any
other, it is just what the connoisseur
praises and the habitual smoker demands.
The very choicest tobacco grown 1 '"’ l
on this Belt is bought by Black
well’s Durham Tobacco Co., and
appears in their celebrated Bull AQn
Durham Smoking Tobacco. It is /
known the world over. J / t<
J Get the genuine, with Bull /
trade-mark, then you will /
r be sure of having abso- /
? lutely pure tobacco. / TM|

Mr.H.N.MoorcneturnstoSanmh
We are pleased to announce
to our patrons that Mr. H. N.
Moore, who left us in May
last to superintend the manu
facture of Upright Pianos in
Chickering & Son’s factory at
Boston, has resigned his posi
tion there and is again with us,
and will, in future, attend to
our city tuning. His skill in
his profession is so well known
in this community, that the
bare announcement of his re
turn is all that is needed.
We have also with us Mr. E. S. Dcpson,
a practical Piano Maker, Repairer and
Tuner, who has for many years manufactur
ed Pianos in New York upon his own ac
count, and has practical experience in
every branch of their construction. In the
line of Repairing, Regulating and Tuning
Pianos, Mr. Dopson has no superior, and
work entrusted to him will be done as well
as any factory.
The Tuning and Rep: irlQ; of Church
and Parlor Organs is attended to by two ex
perienced workmen, who have had long ex
perience in this class of work. Several of
the largest church organs in this city are
now under their charge.
Still another workman is employed in
Polishing and Varnishing Pianos and Or
gans. In this branch, long experience has
made them perfect, and old and defaced
cases are restored and made as bright as
new. No patent polish is used, but the
work is done precisely the same as at the
actory.
Repairs npon Small instruments, such as
Violins, Guitars, Accordoins, Drums, Or
guinettes, Banjos, Brass Instruments, etc,
' etc., are done by another skilled workman,
who devotes his entire time to this class of
work.
With this force of six Experienced Work
men, a complete stock of toolsand repairing
materials, with every facility that is found
in any factory, and all undey our direct con
trol and supervision, we are prepared to
execute all work entrusted to us in the BEST
POSSIBLE MANNER, AND AT REASONABLE
prices. This department of our business has
never before been so completely organized,
and we are now ready for all the work that
the city and vicinity can offer. If more
workmen are needed we will supply them.
Next the Piano Factory, and that’s not far
off.
