Is made for tlia purpose of extending our

We do not believe in the chroino busi

profit Is very small, and unless nil subscri

profits. We consider that our renders get
tho full worth of their money out of this

ford to give every subscriber n gold watch
or a piano, nt that price. But we will do
this 1 Every subscriber who will pay up

the whole body, Imported from Paris nt a
cost of oyer 300, and by numerous large
Diagrams, Prof. Groll Is able to show to an

ney said i
"I call my friend, Rev. Dr. Everett, ot
Trinity M. E. Church, tho American Lacor
dalre, because he began life as a journalist,
and like tho popular French preacher, does
not forget his duty to live questions after
entering the ministry. It is pleasing
uud prolltable to hear him nt nny time and
on any topic.
Prof. Balliet, the lecturer for Wednesday

has assisted at Institutes in thirty-eight
counties iu this slate. He is a pleasant an
forcible speaker.
On Thursday evening, R. J. Buidette,

were greatly pleased. It Is unnecessary

Why Seih Green Believes in Governor
Cleveland.
Seth Green says President elect Clove
land is a truthful man. IIo was ask
ed by a reporter liftw ho knew it. IIo
said :
"One year ago last fall Governor
Cleveland was Hpendini; his vacation in
the North Wcodn, nt Woodliull Lake,
shooting aud lishiug. The dogs were
put out ai;d a deer btarted. The Gov
ernor was put on a favorite runway ;
bo heard the hounds j they were com
ing his way, my word for it. The
thought of otlico-i'Cekci's ami political
enemies went out of his head and tho
blood went tingling through his veins j
lie did uot think ot any of his friend''
not even Hill Howiuan nor Hob Roose
velt, nor II, U. Sherman. IIo is naitl
to have great affection for all his
fiieuds. but as the hounds ncaieil him
I knovv it was the best musiu be had
ever heard. I huo been there, and
my opinion is that the blood went Hin g
ing in and out of his heart. It sound
ed as loud to him as n bass drum, aud
the only thought hu had at the lime
was to bee the deer and keep that heart
still so that it would not scare him be
fore he eanio iu f-iuht. Well, tho deer
came and stojipul broadside, within
six rods of the Governor. Ho stopped
for some cause j I do not think it was
thumping of the Governor's heart that
stopped the deer, but the Governor may
have thought diiierenl. Well, tho ileer
stopped. I didn't think the Governor
lost his head, fur he had a gun, und he
fired it off, and the deer ruined his flag
uud bounded off without a scratch.
That tlag looked as largo to the Gov
ernor as a good-sized sail us the deer
went hounding oil. If tho Governor
had had it little talk with inu before ho
went, ho would not have missed the
deer. I would have told him to not
shoot at the whole deer, Initio pick out
a little spot just back of tho shoulder
aud draw a head on that spot. IIo
would have killed him. Soon after tho
Governor had got tho shot, a friend of
initio thought to screen him, aud wrote
11111 Irom Woodliull that the Governor
eamuveiy near getting a shot at tlie
doer there was only a little point of
rocks that hid tho deer when ho passed!
ami when I met tlio Governor, I told
him I heard ho came very near getting
a shot at tho deer. His "face lit up as
ho Raid, 'I did get a shot nt a big buck
standing not over six lods front 111c and
I missed him.' Now the man, and an
amateur nt that, who would not tell a
lie under tho circumstances can bo be
lieved at all times without putting his
hands oil tlio Bible."

clothin of every sort. No
matterliow cold the end of
December and January and
February and March may
be, the fact is fixed already
by the warm beginning that
thousands of people will Ifcar
the cold with less proiv.ution,
because it comes so slowly.
We arc hardened to the win
ter by long expecting winter,
and by its slow appro ich.
We' therefore change me
condition of trade by making
prices so low as to attract
unwilling, buyers. The
change is gradual, very grad
ual. Indeed the change is
less, because we made" low
prices months ago ; lower
than ought to be made in
proi-.perous times ; lower than
can be made in any but
calamitous times.
There is every reason to
believe that wholesale prices
have got to the bottom. Raw
materials of several sorts
have begun to be firm ;
and some have begun to rise.
The prices of nothing in trade
have risen. Prices are there
fore at the very bottom. The
only further downward move
ments are reasonably sure to
be exceptional. Chances arc
overwhelmingly the other
way on everything.
On the other hand the
probable behavior of retail
merchants with bills to meet
and stocks of goods on their
hands is worth your thin Jng
of. The instant the stay of
holiday trade is over there is
sure to be a general scram
ble. Had you better wait
for the chance of buying for
