The Struggle and Triumph
" Seventeen kreutiers for a morning'
work !" exclaimed a pretty but sloven
s
ly-dressed young woman, standing at
the door of an apartment in a mean
looking house in one of the narrow
streets of Vienna, addressing a man of
low stature and sallow complexion who
had just come in, "And the printer's

"Fortune! As if fortune did not al
ways wait upon industry in a proper
calling. Your patrons admire and ap
plaud, but they will not pay; yet you
will drudge away your life in this un
grateful occupation. I tell you, Joseph
Haydn, music is not the thing!"
Here a knock was heard at the door;
and she with exclamations of impatience
flounced away. The una,rtunate artist
threw himself on a seat, and leaned his
head on a table covered with notes of
music. So entirely had he yielded him
self to despondency, that he did not
move, even when the door opened, till
the sound of a well-known voice close at
his side startled him Non his melan
choly reverie.
"How now, Haydn! what is the
matter, my 110 y ?"
The speaker was an old man, shabbily
dressed, but with something striking
and even commanding in his noble fea
tures. His large, dark flashing eyes,
his olive complexion, and the contour
of his face bespoke him a native of a sun-
Bier clime than that of (;ermany. Hay
dn sprang up and welcomed him with a
cordial embrace.
" And when, my dear Porpora, did
you return to Vienna:'• , he a4ked.
"This morning only; uud my find
cars was to find you out. But how is
this? I find you thin, and pale, and
gloomy. Where are your spirits
" Gone," murmured the composer,
and dropped his eyes on the floor. His
visitor regarded Irfin with a look of af
fectionate interest.
In answer to Feora's enquiries,
Haydn told him Of ,t m he struggles and
failures by which he had been led to
doubt his genius, till he had succumbed
under the crushing hand of poverty. , —
" I am chained," he concluded bitterly;
and, giving way to the anguish of his
heart, he burnt into tears
Foment shook his head, and was si
lent for a few moment'. At length he
said :
" I can see plainly," remarked one of
Haydn's friends whom we will call
Manuel, " that he will write no more."
"He has done enough and now we
are ready for the farewell of Haydn,"
said another.
"The farewell?"
"Did you never hear the stony?
have heard him tell it often myself. It
concerns one of his most celebrated
symphonieS. The occasion was this:
Among the musicians attached to the
service of Prince Esterhazy, were sev

estates, were obliged to leave their wives

considerably beyond the usual 'period.
The . dliwonsolate husbands entreated
I taydn to become the interpreter of their
wishes. Thus the idea came to him of
composing, a symphony in which each
instrument ceased, one after another
He added at the close of every part the
direction, ' Here the light is extinugish
ed.' Each musician, in turn, rose, put
out his candle, rolled up his music, and
went away. The pantomime had the'
desired effect ; the next morning the
Prince gave orders for their return to the
capital.
" He used to tell us a somewhat sim
ilar story of the origin of his Turkish or
military symphony. You know the
high appreciation he met with in Ids vis
its to England ; but notwithstanding the
praise and homage he received, he could
not prevent the enthusiastic audience
from falling asleep during the perform
ance of his compositions. It occurred
to him to devise some kind of ingeni
ous revenge. In this piece, while the
current is gliding softly, and slumber
beginning to steal over the senses of his
audience, a sudden and unexpected burst
of martial music, tremendous as a
thunder-peal, startles the surprised
sleepers into active attention. I would
have liked to see the lethargic listeners,
with their eyes and mouths thrown
open by such an unlooked-for shock !"
A stop was suddenly put to the con
versation by the commencement of the
performance. " The Creation," the
first of Haydn's oratorios, wwegarded
as his greatest work, and had often
elicited the most heartfelt applause.
Now that the aged and honored coin
poser was present, probably for the lest
time, to hear It, an emotion too deep for
utterance scented to pervade the vast
audience. It seemed as If every eye in
the assembly were fixed on the calm,
noble face of the venerable artist, as if
every heart beat with love for him.

melodies, the musie of The Creation,"

Solar Wonders
Vast Mountains of Fire Seen on the
Sun's Sitirfaee.
Astrondmers have been revealing so
many wonders in the .tfist globe which
rules the planetary scheme, that we can
not yet hope to see the startling results
of their researches co-ordinated into a
consistent whole. On every hand new
marvels are being brought to light.—
And bne time, Mr. Lockyer surprises
us by exhibiting the amazing velocities
with which the, solar storms rage across
the blazing surface of our luminary.—
At another, the energetic astronomer
who presides over the Roman Observa
tory tells us of water within the fierce
tumult of the solar spota
The Kew observers track the stranger
influences of the planets on the solar at
mosphere, watching not only the great
tide of spots which sweeps in the ten
year period over the solar storm-zones,
and then leaves our sun clear from speck
or stain, but also the ripples of spot-for
mation which come in shorter periods,
and seem inextricably blended to ordi
nary observers with the great periodic
disturbances. Lastly, Lockyer, Hug
gins Rollner, and Secchi describe-the
magic changes of form which pass over
tongues of flame, projecting thousands
of miles from the solar surface.
We have before us as we write a.
series of colored prominence-pictures
taken by Dr. Zollner, the eminent pho
tometrican. It is impossible to contem
plate these strange figures without a
sense of the magnificence of the prob
lem which the sun presents to astrono
mers. Here are vast entities—flames, if
we will, but flames unlike all those with
which we are familiar. And these vast
tongues of fire assume forms which
speak to us at once of the action of comes
of the utmost violence and intensity.—
The very aspect of these objects at once
teaches this, but it is the rapid changes
bf place and of figure to which the spots
are subjected that are most significant
on this point. Here is a vast cone-shaped
flame, with a mushroom-shaped head of
enormous proportions, the whole object
standing 10,000 or 17,000 miles from the
sun's surface. I n the cone figure we see
the uprush of lately imprisoned gases,
in outspreading head the sudden dimin
ution of pressure as these gases reach
the rarer upper ‘ittmospeere. But turn
front this object to a series of six pic
tures placed beside it, and we see the
solar forces in action. First, there is a
vast flame, some 18,000 miles high,
linseed towards the right, as though
some fierce wind were blowing upon it.
It extends in this direction some four or
five thousand miles. The next picture
represents the same ohject ten minutes
later. The figure of the prominence has
wholly changed. It is now a globe
shaped mass, standing on a narrow stalk
of light above a row of flame hillocks.
It is bowed towards the left, so that in
those short minutes the whole mass of
the flame has swept thousands of miles
away front its former position. Only
two minutes later, and again a complete
change of appearance. The stalk and
the flame hillocks have vanish ed,
and the globe-shaped mass has be
come elongated. Three minutes later,
the shape of the prominence has
altered so completely that one can
hardly recognize it for the same.—
The stalk is again visible, but the upper
mass is bowed down on the right so that
the w hole figure resembles a gigantic
A, without the cross-bar, and with the
down-stroke abnormally thick. This
great A is some 20,000 miles in height,
and the whole mass of our earth might
be bowled between its legs without
touching them! Four minutes pass, and
again the figure has changed. The
flame-hillocks reappea i r, the down-stroke
of the A begirts to raise itself front the
sun's surface. Lastly, after yet another
interval of four minutes, the figure of
the prominence has lost all resemblance
to an A, and may now be likened to a
camel's head looking towards the right.
The whole series of changes has occupi
ed but twenty-three minutes, yet the
flame exceede . d our earth in volume ten
fold at the least. But Mr. Lockyer, has
recorded an instance of a yet more mar.
vellous nature. A vast prominence-ex
tending seventy or eighty thousand
miles front the sun's surface vanished
altogether in ten minutes. The very
way in which Zollner's drawings were
taken savours of the marvellous. We
have spoken of them as colored. They
are ruby-red, anti so the prominences
appeared to the astronomer. The real
light of the prominences-is not ruby-red,
however, but rose-colored, with faint in
dications of pink, or even bluish tints.
The fact is, that by the new method
of observation, the nnage of a promi
nence is formed by only a certain part
of its light. We may say that out of
several colored images of the same
prominence, the astronomer selects one
only for examination.
The explanation of this is worth con
sidering, as it involves the essence of the
method by which the prominences are
seen at all. When we analyze light
, with a simple prism as Newton did, we
got instead of a round spot of white—
that is, mixed light—a rose of overlap
, ping spots of different color. It was only
when, instead of a round spot, a fine
line of white lihht was a Ila 13,,d, that
one could detect the absence of images
of this lino along certain parts of the
rainbow-colored streak—in other words,
it was thus only that the dark lines of
the spectrum could be seen. And it was
to see these lines more cleafly that the
slit of the spectroscope was made sonar
, row and the rainbow-speetrum made so
long by spectroscopists. But the 'ob
servers of the prominences go back to
the old method. If they used a narrow
slit, a narrow strip of the prominence
would alone form its spectrum, which
would consist of a few bright lines. But
I by having a wide slit the whole promi
nence forms its spectrum, which consists
of a few bright pictures of the prominen
ces. There is a green picture corre
sponding to the bright spectral line
called F, a red picture corresponding to
the bright spectral line called C', and so
on. If the whole set of pictures were
formed at once we could see none of
them, for there would be side by side
with them the blazing solar spectrum
which would obliterate them altogether,
just as in ordinary telescopic observa
tion the bright sunlight blots out the
prominences from view.
But if the observer uses such a battery
of prisms that the solar spectrum would
be very long indeed, Ind if he admits to
view only that part of the spectrum op
posite which one of the prominence-im
ages exists, he ean then see that image
quite distinctly, for the neighboring
part of the solar spectrum is so reduced
in splendor that it no longer:obliterates
the prominence figure.
In this way,
then, the observer selects
one or other of the pictures of a promi
nence, either the red or the green pic
ture, to examine. And strangely enough
it is by no means certain that the two
pictures are alike. Rather it is highly
probable that they are different, though
we have not space here either to indi
cate the reasons for believing this, or to
explain the significance of the circum-
stances should it eventually be estab
tidied.
It seems to us that when we consider
the real dimensions of the solar globe,
we appreciate more fully the wonderful
nature of those processes of action indi
cated by recent researches, than when
we regard these without direct refer-
! once to the sun's magnitude. How
many of us really appreciate the enor
mous volume of the sun ? We read cer
tain figures in books of astronomy, but
do we grasp their full significance?
There is, however, a simple way of view
ing the matter, which at once opens our
eyes to the vastness of the solar globe.—
If that the earth on which
we move, the scene of all those interests
which we deem so important, bears so
minute a proportion to the sun that if he
were represented by a two-feet globe,
the earth would on the souse scale, ap
pear no larger than a cherry stone, we
see what wonderful processes of action
there must be which aro at work upon
the solar surface. We recognize in our
hurricanes the action of nature in her
fiercest moods, but the solar hurricanes
would in an instant destroy the whole
globe on which we live. We wonder
at the volcano which lays a whole city
in ashes, but our earth would be swept
like a mote before the rush of a solar
volcano. We see, lastly, in the earth
quake which upheaves a continent, the
most energetic of all the forges at work
upon our earth, but the ledst of the
throes which convulse the solar surface
would toss a globe like ours as the wares
of orean toss the lightest sea drift.

Report of the Surveyor GeneraL , penn,

or Dereirsed nutatzus.
General Jacob M. Campbell has Just
made to Governor. Geary the annual re
port of the SurveYor General's Office.
We present such parts of it as are of gen
eral interest :
During six.years, embracing the period
since the passage of the act of 20th of
May, 1864, the records shops that four
thousand six hundred and thirty (4,630)
tracts of land have been patentedand
that the -sum of two hundred' and
twenty-nine thousand five hundred and
forty dollars and six cents (522 0 ,5 4 0 06 )
have been paid into the State Treasury
through this Department as against
twelve hundred and eighteen tracts
patented and sixty-eight thousand seven
hundred and sixty-three dollars and
fifty-seven cents ($68,763 57) paid in
during the six years preceeding 1864.
This augurs well for the present system
of collecting these accounts, for if the
bare publication of the law has brought
about so much activity on the subject of
patenting lands, it is but reasonable to
expect that the lien dockets, which bring
the matter home to the people, as they
do, by showing what tracts are unpat
ented will cause the great body of own
ers of unpatented lands to liquidate the
amounts due the State.
The act of Bth April, 1869, which re
strains the Attorney General from pro
ceeding to collect the liens under the
seventh section of the act of 20th May,
1864, for one year from the date at which
the " county land lien dockets" are for
warded to the counties, respectively,
was eminently just and proper, because
it gives those interested ample time to
prepare their cases, and send in their
applications and receive their patents,
without incurring the additional cost
that a suit in the Courts of Dauphin
county would impose upon them. But
it is not thought that it would be to the
best interest of either the State or the
debtor to extend the time thus limited.
Now that the lands have appreciated
in valde to such an extent that the on
price of them, even where the whole
of it remains unpaid (and the proportion
of such cases to the whole number of
liens is very small ), is scarcely -an item
when compared with their present value,
there can be no reason, either in equity
or public policy, why payment should
not be made and the titles fully com
pleted. How manifiest and striking the
difftnrence between the leniency of the
State towards those owing her on ac
count of lands, and the rigorous collec
tion of churns against other defaulting
debtors!
Many aditional reasons might be ad
duced why these - long deferred claims
should be settled, not the least of which
is the necessity and cost of maintaining
this Department. If the necessary
measures shohld be adopted, and the
laws vigorously enforced, I can see no
valid reason why all the accounts, of
every character, should not be entirely
settled in four or five years, the De
' pertinent, as such, elosed, and the build
ing and records, with a sufficient num
ber of clerks to furnish official copies,
placed under the control of some other
Department of the State Government.
The following regulations relative to
issuing patents are published for the
information and guidance of owners of
unpatented lands:
I. The patent must issue to the actual
owner of the land or party holding title
under the warrantee, or to the executors,
trustees, or heirs and legal representa
tives of the person in whom title was
vested at death, or to the guardians of
minor children of the deceased
11. Warrantees wlio remain the own
ers of the land warranted and surveyed
to them, can obtain patents in their own
names (if no caveatsremains undeterm
: Med) without furnishing any brief or
statement of title, upon payment of back
purchase money, interest and fees.
111. Executors, trustees, and• guar
dians representing the warrantee, or his
heirs, who apply for patents, should
produce evidence of their appointment
as such.
IV. When the land has passed out of
I the ownership of the original warrantee,
F or party who took out the office right,
the applicant for patent will be required
to furnish evidence of ownership.
V. The present owner of a part of a
tract of land surveyed in pursuance of
any given warrant, desiring to have a
patent in his own name can obtain it by
haying the county surveyor make return
of survey of such part. In making the
survey the county surveyor should, be-
I sides giving the courses and distances
and quantity of acres in the particular
part, indicate the whole of the original
tract by dotted lines. The applicant
will only be required to pay: his proper
, tion of the whole amount dne on the
tract, with fees. Evidence of ownership
" to accompany application.
VI. When an unpatented original
tract has been sold and. sub-divided, the
SeNa jai present owners may unite in an
application for patent and statement of
title, and upon payment of amount due,
with patent and other fees, a patent will
issue to them, the said applicants, their
heirs andassigns, according to their re
spective rights and interests, without
setting forth the s 'partieular interest of
each.
VII. In cases where it is difficult to
submit the evidence of title required by
this office in order to obtain a patent,
any one or more of the owners of an un
patented tract can, through this De
partment, discharge tree lien against
said tract by the payment of the pur
, chase money, interest and fees shown to
be due by s the land lien docket, and the
interest since accrued, and a patent can
at any time afterwards issue to those
entitled to it upon proof of ownership.
VIII. The accounts inn the lien docket
are calculated to June 1, 1968. If to the
amount due, as shown in its proper col
umn, there be added the interest accru
ing from June 1, 1868, to The date of for
warding the docket to the Prothonotary
at the rate given in the Column of rate
per cent. of interest, arid on this sum,
Including the fees (or when fees only are
due), interest be calculated ntnthe rate of
six per cent. from the time of forwarding
the docket until the date of the applica
tion for patent, it will give the amount
required to procure a patent.
A statement of the amount due on any
particular tract or tracts, or any infor
mation in relation thereto, will be
promptly furnished on application to
this office.

Ancient Prohibitory Laws In Connect
The Hartford Courant exhumes the
annexed law, which it says was passed
by a " general court " which sat in that
city in 16CA:
For inasmuch as it is observed, that
many abuses are crept In and commit
ted, by frequent taking of tobacko:
It is ordered by the authority of this
courte, that no person under the age
21 years, nor any other that hath not al
ready accustomed himselfe to the use
thereof, shall take any tobacko until
hee hath brought a certificate under the
hands of some who are approved for
knowledge and skill in phisick, that it
is usefule for him, and also, that hee
hath received a lycense from the court
for the same. And for the regulating
of those who either by their former
taking it, have to their own apprehen
sions, made it necessary for them or
upon due advice, are pursuaded to the
use thereof.
It is ordered, That no man within
this colonye, after the publication here
, of, shall take am, - tobacko, publiquely,
in the street, higliwayes, or any barns,
yards, or upon training dayes, in any
open places, under the penalty of six
pence for each offence against this order,
in any the perticulars thereof, to bee
paid without gainesaying upon convic
tion, by the testimony of one witness,
that is without just exception, before
any one magistrate. And the consta
bles in the several) townes are required
to make presentment to each perticular
courte of such as they doe understand
can evict to be transgressors of this
order.
The Minnesota Legislature met yes
terday, and Governor Marshall's mess
age was read. The Governor reports
the funded State debt at $350,000, and
said he had communicated with the
General government in regard to the
danger of an Indian raid upon the fron
tier settlements. After the reading of
this message, the new State Officers
were installed, and Governor Austin
delivered his inaugural. He said there
were 783 miles of completed railroad in
the State against 315 miles on January
1, 1867. He also recomended action in
view of the danger of an Indian raid.
Chlnese Currency
The antiquity of the Chinese Commer.
eial System. ,
The Hong Hong correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commerciat writes :
In finance, and all the machinery of
trade by means of letters of credit and
bills of exchange . , both. foreign and do
mestic, the Chinese 'have nothing to
ream from theWestemnations. Among
diem those commercial instruments
have been in use from an antiquary
without date. They are, however', ig
norant of the protest, They regard the
indorsement of a bill as an uncondition
al requiring - no exactness
as to demand and notice of non-pay
ment; consequently, protest isnot need
ed to fix liability. They are a " hard
money" people. Their currency is me
tallic. Silver is their standard of value,
and the Mexican dollar is the recognized
exponent. Nevertheless, if weight and
purity be correct, coinage is not essen
tial.. While silver in any shape, coined
or uncoined, is money, goldin no shape
is money. It is, like lead, simply a
commodity, the value of which is un
fixed and fluctuating. The nominal
measure of value is the tael ; but this,
like the British pound sterling, has no
representative in circulation. The
Chinese tael, as a unit of measure , has,
however,aadvantages over the liritish
pound in this, that the tael is divisible
fractionally by a decimal ratio, while
the pound is divided arbitrarily.
The statement that they Are a hard
money people is true merely of the gov
ernment, and it must not be accepted
as stating that the Chinese people are
ignorant of or opposed to a mixed cur
rency derived from banking system of
their own divising. On the contrary,
bills of banks in good standing circulate
as freely among the Chinese as do
greenbacks among the Americans.—
Banking systems are not novelties in
China. The rudiments of banking and
paper money are traceable among the
Chinese back to a period older than the
Christian era. In the year 119, B. C.
an Emperor of the Hahn dynasty raised
revenue by the issue of a currency call
ed phee-phec " value in skAns "
which were bills for circulation, Viand
somely embroidered and plated, made
of skins of certain white deer taken in
the Emperors's park, and which by
royal degree were issued and stamped at
about sixty dollars' value.
It was not, however, till a thousand
years later, that paper money became a
currency common to China. And it is
wonderful to note the genevl similarity
between the financial expedients de
vised by the Chinese centuries before
America was discovered and the system
devised by the Americans themselves
within the last half century. Nine
hundred years ago, A. D. 990, the found
er of the renowned Soung dynasty cc
tablished a government bank of " dis
count and deposit." Under this system
provision was made whereby merchants
and capitalists were permitted to deposit
coin and certain kinds of merchandise
in the Imperial Treasury, receiving
therefor certificates, called piantisian—
" convenient money." These certifi
cates, being thus secured by deposits of
property (not " public stocks") were ac
cepted by the people as a currency, and
obtained general circulation throughout
the Empire. The government hank of
discount and deposit continued for more
than one hundred years in successful
operation, and its circulation reached to
about three millions of silver ounces—
an enormous sum as tire world then was.
During this time individuals, seeing
the success of this institution under
Government control, organized an 149-
' sociation for conducting banking busi
er. their nooa-Nunt Ma, reviewed
deposits and Issued their bills, called
Kiao-tsu, "exchanges." This was their
"individual liability" system the
on the principle of -P free banking." It
was directed, by sixteen of the richest
houses in the Empire, and its bills were ,
largely circulated. But the evils of the !
system were riot wanting then, as they ,
have not been wanting since. The bank
made excessive issues. The security'
proved insufficient. The " individual
liability " bank failed, turd much litiga
tion and public distress ensued.
Seeing the mischief growing out of
this " wild cat " mode of banking, the
Emperor abrogated the right in individ
uals to issue bills of credit to circulate
as money, reserving to the Govern
ment the prerogative of supplying to
the people the currency required. He
took measures accordingly, mid estab
lished a bank of issue at Vinchan, the
notes of which were called Kiantaz,
" changelings." This was their Na
tional Bank " system, and its circula
tion came to represent two and a half
millions of silver ounces
Finding that the banking system
protnoted public convenience, and the
bills were acceptable throughout the
Empire, the Government deemed it ad
visable to establish other banks in dif
ferent provinces, under local directories.
This was their " State Bank " system.
The evils inherent to the system be
came conspicuous. The banks being
provincial, the circulation of their k
sues became local, so that bills issued in
one provine were not current in an
other.
In A. D. 1160, to meet extraordinary
military expenditure, the Commission
ers of the Revenue were directed to issue
bills in circulation founded on the Im
perial revenues. and customs. These
bills were made receivable for all public
dues of the empire. This was their
" legal-tender" currency. In six years
an amount of these bills, representing
about forty-fourmillionsofsilverounces,
were issued. China was, of course,
deeply in debt ; she had probably a war
of " secession." Her " legal-tender cur
rency" depreciated, leading to a won
derful enhancement of prices for all
commodities under this immense infla
tion of her paper.
Something over a hundred years later,
in A. D., 1287, when the Mongols, un
der Kuhlahi-Kanh, became masters of
China, the issue of paper money was
almost unrestrained, and it consequently I
depreciated almost to worthlessness.
The Manchus, the present rulers of
China, unlike their Mongolian proto
types, seem to have been from the be
ginning ',a hard-money dynasty. They
have never attempted the issue of paper
currency. There is, nevertheless paper
money, issued by private bankers among
the Chinese, in circulation among them
at the present time.
The Japanese have also long had their
paper money, called Inuni-zeni. Its use
there dates back to about A. D. 1320. It I
has never been issued there to any ex
cess,
so as to drive out of use their cons
mon coin, and has consequently always I
maintained its credit unimpaired.
To Store Celery for the Winter.
If frost or water reaches the tops, the
leaves and stalks will decay. Select a
dry day, when the earth is not wet, and
make a ridge of the soil, as high as your
celery stalks are longsay eighteen
inches or two feet in height, pointed at
the top. Now dig up your celery taking
great care not to shake the dirt from the
roots, and place the heads of the celery
on
both sides of the ridge, roots up,
heads down, pack them closely together
the whole length of the ridge, and cover
the stalks and roots with dry earth.
Now place another layer of celery, then
a covering of earth, and so continue
until all are buried. Cover the whole
with earth to the depth of eighteen
inches or two feet. Before the snow
falls deep, place hemlock-boughs, straw
or leaves thickly over the whole—the
former being the most frost-proof.—
Three tiers deep is enough for one ridge.
Celery will keep in this manner fresh
and clean. Some prefer to cover the
stalks with dried leaves before the earth
is put on, thinking thereby they pre_l " rusting."
I Double Man
All the stories told of the Siamese
twins hardly equal this of the Scotch
double man, of whom the following ac
count is given by the Rerum Seotiarum
Historia :
"During the reign of James of
Scotland, and at his court, there lived a
man double above the waist and single
below that region. The King caused
him to be carefully brought up. He.
rapidly acquired a knowledge of music,
the two heads learned several languages,
they debated together, and the two up
per halves occasionally fought. They
lived generally, however, in the great
est harmony. When the lower partiof
the body was tickled, the two indivldp
als felt it together, but when, on the
other hand, one a other individuals
touched, he alone felt the facts This
monstrous being died at the age of 28
years. One of the bodies died several
days before the other.
A despatch from New Orleans, to the
War Department, announces the death,
by congestion of the lungs, of General
Jos. A. Mower, commanding in Louis
iana.
A Salt Lake despatch says the excite
ment among the Mormons caused by
the schism and proposed Congressional
legislation against polygamy con tin ues.

FURS FU RS! ell EA P AND GOOD
Where there are so many Fur Stores no there
are In the ally of Philadelphia it is difficult for
j the uninitiated to determine where to buy.—
; Those who are versed in the different qualities
of Furs, however, know where to go, and those
readers of this paper, who are not acquainted
with the various grades of Furs, we would ad
vise them to go to an establishment of the best
, reputation, where they can purchase with the
1 greatest confidence, and be satisfied that they
are honestly dealt with. We know of no bet
ter or more reliable store than that of Messrs.
JOSEPH HOSE:MAC* & CO., No. 510 ARCH
STREET, PRILADELPIILA, befiag their new loca
tion, where we are confident from their long
-aperienc in the Fur business, that persons
can get good Furs and the worth of their
money,
Their Sew Store is the centre of attraction
' on account of the good light In which they
show off all theirgoods.
tlip;On Saturday they do no busittem-“
The most fashionable Furs this season will
be the Mink sable, and this is the moat ser
viceable Fur and they have them In various
styles and qualities, and for prices to suit all ;
and since a lady does not wish to get a new
set of Furs every season, It is very essential
to know where to go and purchase good Furs.
To see the silky fineness and darkness and
elegance of finish of all their Furs will well
repay a visit to this establishment, and all
their Furs are warranted to be genuine as rep
resented.
A Mink Sable set cost 815 to 865, and some
very rare dark sets bring a little higher; but
from $3O to 850 will buy an excellent dark set,
and those sets last; a lady from eight to fif
teen years.
Then there is the Hudson Bay Sable, the
Alberean Flquirrel, Royal Ermine, German
Fitch and Chinch'lll and Ladles' Hoods and
other high and low priced Furs in endless va
rieties.
Remember the name ofirJOSEPII ROSEN
