The following criticism Ly Dr. Canfitld, a
prominent and successful physician at Renovo,
is timely hailing for our ta'rons. He says:
I have made a careful examination nnd
omparison of ihe first 4 v t lnrm b of the Ency-
clnpn.'dia Brilannica ard of tho American Cy
olo;:elis. I did so to satisfy mystlf as to which
was the best work. 1 commenced the exami
nation with a bias or ; nji.dke rather in favor
of the Britannicn, but the result of my labor
was wholly nnd entirely in favor of the Amer
ican work. In the Britannicn Hall Imprint for
the evident purpose of cheapening the work,
by reducing the size cf ihe volumes, the man
gins of the leaves ate almost entirely pa-cd

half obliterated, or made practically useless by
being bound in so close to the back as to be un
readable. A grand objection to Ihe work for
the Amciican reader is that it is distinctly and
entirely un-amerunn. The claims of Amerie-i
arc in every instance slighted, in many ignor
ed, and in general, Rpoken of snoeringly. No
patriotic American ought to patronize the
work. I might spt cify hundreds ol invidious
comparisons but will enly si-y that I find very
many objections lo the Britannicn that I do not
find to the American work by tho Appleton.

ton's prophecy, and liavo given It to them
generously,
Indeed, so many various scraps of this
precious document liavo been printed at one
timo nnd another that if ouo should put
them together It would tnkoalmoU ns many
years as Mother yblpton lived in order to
read them ; nnd wo cannot help thinking
that ingenious penny-a-liners have supplied
verslclt'R to the good tlnmo to help her oat,
with a noble disregard of authenticity, nnd a
decreet knowledgo that four hundred years
and over nro likely to render anything of a
logenuary character more or less corrupt nu

""lied to fulfill llsolfln the year 1820 bIio
haviug declared, It is slid, Unit London
streets should bo deluged in blood when tlio
dragon of liow Church and tho grasshopper
of the Royal Exchange should meet, which
event happened, without the expected ro
suit, at n time when both of theso vanes lny
together in a Btone-mason's yard 'awaiting
repairs since that time peoplo have not tx-
peeled so much of Mother Uhlpton as thy

" TOxai the world thoughts shall lly
In the twlaklo ot on eye ;
Water shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange, It shall bo true,"
runs one ol the quatrains in n copy that may
beas douotfiil as all the rest, prophesying
after the fact,
' Through tho hltls man shall rhlo.
And no hor-o nor as4 he at, Ms side;
Under waters men shall walu,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk,"
runs another; and although sho skips the
telephone and the phonograph and the pho
tophone, she winds up with something hav
ing rather n special interest to our own
generation :
"Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall admit a Jew,
And tho world lo an end all-ill como
In clghtien hundred an 1 eighty-one."
There is many a simple soul sitting by
country firesides theso winter nights, reared
in a grew-ouio faith which puts Heaven
chiefly in the attitudo of tlio angry and out
raged avenger, to whom thoso lines havo
had a vague terror of possibility. They
aro people who wero taught in childhood to
expect the end of the world, lo whom then
n peculiarly bright mooulijht spread the
earth with ghastly corpse-color that fort
boded nothing else, to whom an easterly
storm seemed something that not improba
bly might bnve unclose, and in whose quak
ing nightmaro dreams a day of judgment
was a prominent factor. They would per
haps be ashamed to tell you, but ever since
they heard of Mother Shipton's name they
have secretely felt that they should be a
little glad when 1SSI was over and dono
with.
Nothing to them does the word of science
signify, no notion comes into their heads as
universe simply to destroy it b'foro bring

ELWELL & BITTKSBEHDER,
Oolumbian Building,
Near Court Houso, East Sido
The Great
Bargain Room
at Oak Hall.
There never was any
where before, so far as we
know, such a sale of clothing
as is now going on at Oak
Mall, taking up the whole
ground floor. A hundred
thousand dollars worth 01
good clothing, nearly all of
it new antt iasnioiiitoie, uu ui
it well made and of good
materials without exception
(for we make no other) is
being sold at prices which
bring loss instead of gain.
Clearing sales occur at the
close of every season ; but
they commonly are sales of
broken assortments and odd
garments, and of small quan
tities.
Here toward the end of
our most successiui season
we are clearing out what
ever, for any cause, has
shown signs of being slow.
Thousands of whole suits
and overcoats and odd gar
ments as well.
Now the sole reason for
selling this mass of valuable
clothing, without even an at
tempt at. profit, is that stated
above, which may be put into
different words, thus : J o get
our stock into the most at
tractive condition, without
regard to immediate profit.
And so, wliile this sale is
roing on, the choicest, most
approved, most successful,
clothing we have is up stairs.
1 he prices there are not re
duced at all. This sale will
hurt that while it lasts, be
cause the clothing in the
bargain room is extremely
good. For this reason we
want it short ; and to make
it short, the prices are low.
Bnnsr back promptly what
you don't want at the price.
You can order by letter,
