THURSDAY MORNIKG, FEBRUARY 1 9, 1885. " m. 42." UNTIL 27th OF FEB. That is, until we take account of stock, we shall not have much to say in advertisements. We have quantities of new goods bought to arrive early, in March. Some are coming innow, for instance the new wash fabrics, Ginghams, Seersuckers, Indigo - Gambles, &c; but in the meantime ourehief aim is to reduce stock, and to that end there is only one way that we know of, namely, mak ing things cheap enough. You may not want a winter dress at this late part of the season-' if you do, you can buy the material now cheap enough in all conscience but how about Silks? Black Silk is never out of season, and the time for Summer Silks is coming. ' And yet just on these two articles at the present moment you j will find unprecedented prices in our store un precedented is just the word prices never be fore seen on the same quality of goods. Never mind why we are selling these goods now in such a way. We have reasons that are cogent enough to our selves, and for you why, if you get the goods at three-fourths to two-thirds of value it's all pure saving. Our competitors are worried, not to know why, but how we can sell Silks in that way. Well, we are not under any obli gation to explain, and if you get Silk so cheap you needn't puzzle over the reason. By the way, just one word in anticipation of first week in March We are "laying the pipes" conspiring with a large maker of Ladies' White Underwear for a great dynamite explo sion (figuratively) ' i n that department.

The Democrats in Congress who have waked op to tbe faot that there is a silver question in existence are late, and it is not probable that they will accomplish anything this session, even if they mean to. Still, the bill introduced by Mr. Dorsheimer of New York is interesting, especially that part of it which says: "And silver coinage shall be free for silver dollars of the United States and for standard silver bullion, the product of the United States; but no silver coin shall be made at any mint of the United States from any foreign silver coin, from any for eign silver bullion, or from any bullion in which foreign silver is mixed. No foreign silver bullion or foreign coin shall be ad mitted into the United States without the payment of the highest rate of duty now im posed on any manufactured silver coming from abroad." It would be pleasing to know how Mr. Dorsheimer expects to determine whether silver coined under his plan con tains any foreign silver. The friends of Mr. Dorsheimer'a bill hare much to say in its favor. They say that its adoption would do away with the great dan ger, caused by present laws, that the govern ment will some day pay its interest and other obligations in an eighty-five cSnt dol lar. They urge that if a dollar's worth of silver be put into a silver dollar it will be easily convertible into a gold dollar, and that the two coins, being of equal value, will pass current side by side. Tht, they add, will extinguish the silver question. They say that the issue of silver certificates based on 480 grain dollars will provide a sufficient currency for the country, with the security of a dollar's w'orth of silver held the treasury against every dollar issued, and thus do away with the necessity of special legislation to preserve the national banks and relieve Congress, which seems un able or unwilling to preserve the national banking system from a troublesome ques tion. The feeling in Washington against the bill is based on the idea that it substantially makes the United States a silver country; that it is only an expedient; that it goes very far in doubtful directions, as in providing for the unlimited coinage of silver, while the value of silver in the world's markets is still unsteady. It seems to ns that the opponents of the bill have decidedly the best of the argument. It is really a preposterous measure. It will, of course, please the silver men, but their interests are not the chief thing to be looked after. EDITORIAL NOTES. There is quite a boom in real estate in New York city. The sales within a week have aggregated over $1,000,000 and the brokers say that an immense amount of capital is seeking investment. Beal estate is cheap enough in New Haven. The last of the prisoners taken during the Franco-German war have juBt left Germany. Some Tureos, who, "during their imprison ment, had killed a keeper by whom they had been badly used, and who, in- consequence, had been condemned to imprisonment in a fortress, reached Cologne the other day from Wesel. They were dressed in new uniforms, which had been sent to thorn by the French government. Every traveler in France will welcome a long-expected reform, effected by the Minister of Public Works. A circular has been sent to the Boards of all the railway companies, requesting them to arrange by the 1st of April that free access shall be given to the platform and trains to all passengers pro vided with tickets. The misery of prolonged incarceration in waiting rooms will soon be come a thing of the past. According to the Louisville Courier Journal, there is a great deal of useful work for the Kentucky legislature to do. The abuses of the past dozen years have been de veloped through legislative enactments. The State debt has steadily Increased, with little to show for the money expended. Justice is stone-blind and laggard. Criminal prosecu tions are burdened with charges that breed corruption. In its convict system, Kentucky is "half a century behind the most advanced methods." A Canadian has been conducting some promising experiments in the manufacture of gas from sawdust, and the results show that a vast amount of useful material is lost every year from the saw mills. White pine sawdust produces an illuminating gas of from twelve to fifteen candles, and yellow pine produces even better gas. It is shown that 100 pounds of dry wood contains three times as much carbon for gas as 100 pounds of bituminous coal, and the gas is free from sulphur and ammonia, and does not give off offensive odors. The coming man of Congress, says the Cleveland Leader, is a young Irishman, still under forty, who is now serving his first term. His name is John J. O'Neill, and he comes from St. Louis. He has had a curious career. He started life as a newsboy and wharf-rat in St. Louis. He saved his money, got in some way a common school education, and finally engaged in manufacturing. He became very popular in his district and was sent to the legislature. Hera ho made a reputation, and two years ago he was elected to Congress. It is all well enough for the Leader to think that Mr. O'Neill is 4he com ing man. Possibly he is. But what this Congress most needs is some men who are already present. The "White Cross" movement, which has lately been started in this country, deserves hearty encouragement. It is a crusade or ganized by Bt. Rev. Dr. Lightfoot, bishop of Durham, and introduced into this country only a few months ago, and it has for its purpose the promotion of personal purity among men, that women may be more fully protected. It is in short an agitation for the observance of the seventh commandment, not only in its letter but in its spirit. The order of "The White Cross"has the following very commendable planks in its platform: 1. -To treat all women with respect and protect them from insult and harm. - 2. To put down ail indecent language and coarse jest. S. To maintain the law of purity as equally bind ing on men and women. 4. To keep thyself from impurity and to spread these principles among young men. and lead them to adopt them. The annual report of the managers of the Feabody fund, established to benefit the poor of London, is encour aging. Tha total amount of the fund is now $4,086,595, on which building loans to the amount of $1,706,666 are owed. During the year the trustees opened eleven blocks of buildings in Pear Tree Court, Clerkenwell, containing 514 rooms, all of which are occu pied; eight blocks at Little Coram street, containing 450 rooms, now being let; five blocks at Islington will be opened befcre midsummer, and five blocks to be erected at Westminster will be ready for occupation at the end of the present year. Up to the end of last year the trustees had provided for the artisin and laboring pOor of London 10,144 rooms, besides bathrooms, laundries and washhouses, occupied by 18,453 persons. The average weekly earning of the . head of each family at the close of the year was $5.91, the average rent of each dwelling was $1.17 per week, and of each room twenty eight cents.

Nietz says about it, and in a measure he is no doubt correct as to "underconsumption," but he must see that underconsumption, from whatever cause,don't change the situation. He probably has had some experience and must know that who ever does business and gives employment to others must supply capital to do it, conse quently takes all the risk. Therefore it is proper and his duty to so conduct his busi ness that he can pay for his material used and his workmen promptly as he may agree to do, and in order to do this he must sell his productions, and it is with him in selling as it is with his work men he has to be governed by the market price. He must sell as low as his competitors, and he pays his workmen as much as bis com petitors. This is all that can be expected in either case. And this is all any reason ible man, whether the workman or the business man, can expect. And where the market is glutted the production must cease until such time as more goods are wanted. It is im possible for anybody to know just how much of anything will be consumed in any given time, and the business man who insists in building machinery, etc., takes a great riek, while his employes take none at all, except it be to get their pay from week to week or month to month, as may be agreed upon. And the market is open for labor as it is for the goods labor produces. When one branch of busi ness is dull labor can go to someother branch of business where its production in the mar ket is not overstocked. In this labor has the advantage, for the man who has invested his all in a venture is tied down. He must either make a success or fail. The writer's experience comprises starting as a poor boy, learning a trade, working as a journeyman at one dollar and fifty cents per day. I saved a little money, had an opportunity to take another'sbusiness who bed not made a suc cess, and with a great struggle to get along I havo found that success in any business is no easy thing. There are exceptions of course in almost every walk in life. Some apparently move through the world with ease troubles never touch them. Yet al most every rose has its thorn, though we may not know it until we pluck it. It is no argument to say that while " warehouses" are loaded down with good "food and cloth iner" huneer and nakedness exist. This state of things does exist and no doubt always will exist, but, as we said before, be prudent and saving in good times that you may tide over dull times. The unfortunate will always be among us, and such should be cared for from overstocked warehouses, or, in other words, by those who have been fortunate, and this is the law of our blessed land of plenty.

A famous Woman as Seen at Home Her Undying Love. Col. McClure in Philadelphia Times.l Just forty years ago, on the 5th of March, 1845, Mrs. James K. Polk entered the White House at Washington as the wife of the President and chief lady of the land. She had then reached even beyond the full noon tide of her years, as more than forty wintera had entered into the story of her honored Jife. ..Few of the people of the present have personal recollections of the gentle grace and easy dignity with which she shone in the cir cles of the nation's most cultured men and women of the day; but the pleasant tradition of the White House that makes the name of Mrs. Madison illustrious as the most beloved of the early mistresses of the home of the President is supplemented by the lingering memories of the oft-repeated tributes in every section of the land which tell of the well merited and more than generous homage paid to Mrs. Polk while presiding as the central figure of the social jewels of the re public. She welcomed at her hospitable board the Clays, the Websters, the Calhouns, the Bentons, the Bells, the Buchanans of our history, and in all the bitter conflicts of the disputing giants of the last generation the more than respect that grows into the rev erence of affection was commanded from all by the lady of the White House. Soon after the retirement of her honored husband from the highest civil trust in the world he was suddenly called, in the full vigor of his life, to join the great majority beyond, and the whole nation mourned the common bereave ment it suffered by the death of James K. Polk. Widowed and alone, Mrs. Polk fitted the dreamless couch of the dead in the green lawn that fronted their beautiful home in Nashville and there the ashes of the lord re pose, in daily view of the one whose life has had a single sorrow that makes all other sor rows fade into forgetfulness. Unforgetting as if unforgotten, the modest panoply that covers the tomb of her buried love is the shrine to which go out the devotions of each succeeding day, and the room in which the ex-President sank calmly into the sleep of death has stood unaltered and unoccupied, save as widowed love returns to the altar of blighted but unwearied affection. Thus while a full generation has come and gone has Mrs. Polk kept faithful vigil over her husband's dust and her husband's honor. She has Been ten Presidents follow Mr. Polk in the chair he so worthily filled, and is likely to see the eleventh successor before the long halt shall come. Of all the women of the land, the widow of James K. Polk has long been accorded the largest measure of the nation's respect and reverence. While ever faithful to the one bright memory of her long and beautiful life, she has made friend and stranger, old and young, high and low, welcome to her hospit able home, and the visitor to Nashville who does not cross the threshold of Mrs. Polk's home and receive her welcome is forgetful of one of the most delightful opportunities. Every day her house bears the greeting of the journeying stranger, and the bright faces of childhood, of early man and woman hood, and or ripened age come and go as the grand old lady smiles upon them with the weight of more than four-score years upon her. I saw her in ths midst of a large re ception she had given to Philadelphia ladies, and although bowed with age and unable to stand without support, she was sprightly as any of the many accomplished ladies who as sisted in her queenly hospitality, and her un clouded memory and unabated interest in public men and public events made her ever the center of attraction. THE FRENCH DETECTIVE SYSTEM. Every Class 01' Society Under the ITIost Active an (1 Insidious Vigilance. Paris Letter in Chicago Times. ! M. Audrieux, late Prefect of Police, is con tributing to his newspaper, La Lr gne, a very interesting series of papers on the inner ways and working of the French detective system. As anything from such a man on such a subject is well worth studying, it may not be considered out of place in this cor respondence to give the substance of what he has lately written on this question. M. Andrieux takes care to classify the secret agents into two distinct bodies, to wit, those who are enrolled in the four different brig ades and those who are not enroll-d in any brigade or public or private force whatso ever. The former have their cards, which, in cases of danger, will insure them the pro tection of the regular police. They are strictly forbidden to show these cards to any one save to State officials of high standing (when the indirect services of such officials are required), or to the sergeants de viile, to whom I have just alluded, and under the cir cumstances referred to. They frequent clubs and other meetings, the wine-shops of the exterior boulevards and houses and streets of ill-fame, and also attend at the Senate and Chamber of Deputies during the parliament ary session. In the morning they prepare their reports, generally speamng, at tne rre fecture, in the archives of which are to be found detailed accounts of the career and character of hundreds of thousands of indi viduals in France. These records form co lossal pyramids in thelumber-rooms, and are alnhabetically arranged according to the names of the persons whose histories they chronicle, so that when anyone comes sua denly to the front or is compromised in any criminal affair the librarians can have no difficulty in laying their hands on the official summary of his or her antecedents, bo com plete is the collection that the name of the most obscure rag-picker in Paris has its chronicle as well as the President or tne re public In reeara to tnose secret agents 01 tne sec ond category Mr. Andrieux is as explicit as he is indiscreet. "A man's coachman," he says, "a man's mistress, a man's barber, a man s valet may Deiong to tnis oattauon. Manv saloon-keepers and house-porters are actually compelled, under pain of forfeiture of their licenses and positions, to act as the spies ef the prefecture, beveral journalists, who are the bitterest political opponents in opposition newspapers of the powers that be, and not a few frantic orators who "do'' the stump at Socialistic gatherings and denounce the criminality of capital amid the cheers of the workingmen, are in the pay of the po lice authorities. The high-born and respect able Imperialist, who mixes in Prince Napo leon's society and calls him "My Lord." Your Majesty" and sports a violet m nis buttonhole on the occasion of the anniversa ry mass for the rapose of the soul of Napole on HI. at the Church of St. Augustine, keeps np his gorgeous equipages and pays for his isonapartist dinners out 01 me puunu fnnds. The siinnerimz royalist, who carries about with him over his heart a tattered fragment of one of the old white flags of France, and who is gushingly tender and en thusiastic in his defense of the throne and altar, is "rigged out" at the expense of the State, and is paid to spy on the movements and actions ot tne rtoyuiisis, just u m nvu. r.nT.iat cnllnaones to look after the Imperi alists. The few journalists and public speak ers who attack the government with the greatest violence, who are more or less in the confidencH of these dupes, are in receipt of a fixed salary. The others are paid by results. The master mouchards, who "do" the draw ing-rooms of the Faubourg St. Germain and the itonapartist dinners, draw heavily on the public purse, owing to the expenses they are torjed to incur in such aristocratic surround ings. Each of these agents must have some ostensible trade or profession at which he may occasionally employ an hour or two of his time in order to avert any suspicion that may be entertained of him. Thus every class of society in Paris is under the most active, although the most insidious, vigi lance. As much precaution is taken against n rnvnlnt.irm to snbvert established authority under the republic as during the reign of Na TTT . when nr twelve people family oiroles apart could not sit down to table without having at least one mouchard among . them. About 120 persons were present at the meeting in Waterbnry on Tuesday of the Grand lodge, K. of P., of the State. The re port of the grand chancellor, the Ttev. John Lyon of Bridgeport, showed that the society, now twenty-one years old, has 150,000 mem bers. Grand K. of R. and S. H. O., Case of Hartford, reported that there has been no increase or decrease in the number of subordinate lodges dur ing the year. Forty-five new members were admitted during the day. The officers cho sen were: Willis Isbell of New Ha-;en, G. C; A. J. Smith of Danbury, V. G. C; John H. Hall of Waterbnry, grand prelate; H. O. Case of Hartford, G. K. of K. and S.; W. L. Morgan of Bridgeport, G. M. of E.; P. Selbie of Bridgeport, M. of A.; A. MuhlbeTger of Hart ford, D. G. ; Daniel Brown of Fair Haven, O. G. ; Dr. Soul of Jewett City, representa tive to the Supreme lodge. The Eev. John Lyon, P. G. C. , of Bridgeport, was presented by the Hartford members with a gold jewel. Daniel Brown, aged 71 years, for seventeen years outer guard, was presented with a purse of $212. The next meeting will be he d in Meriden the second Tuesday in Feb ruary, 1886. grij Qjoocls.
