A breathless, excited individual, says a San Francisco paper, rushed into the police office yesterday and inquired for the chief. ' What do you want of him ?" inquired an impassive officer. ' I vants," said he with a Teutonic accent, 'I vants eiu paper to kill a dam tog vot pites me in te leg." "Ah, you wish an order of execution issue against a vicious canine," said the officer. "No, I taussant vant 110 such ting, I vant a paper to tell me to kill a tarn bup. He pites my leg so pad, I have got te hydrophobe, und will kill him, or I goes mat, too." "Ah, now, I see," said the impassive temperant; "you require authority to proceed with force of arms against the dangerous animal." "Mein Got, no?dat ish not what I vants. J vants ter Jeaf to give me license to kill te tog he can nicht go inser de l>olice court and swear against me." "The dog ?" to HfW* to rnon vnf ntirtro fo <lr?rr V*t? WV VV &1UUI T VII VMilO VV You see if I kills him?" " What the man ?" "Nein?te tog. Und te man sues me for de price of te dog, den 1 vants ter law on mein side, d'ye see V" "Oh yes!" said the officer, who was quietly chuckling at the caution evinced by the German, and intent on exhausting his patience, "then you want to get a warrant to arrest the man who owns the dog, so the animal may not again attack you." "No, no ! Got for tarn, you gits everything by the tail," cried lager beer, who began to think the officer was quizzing him. "I dink you vant to make chokes of me. Tunder blizen ! I vants shustice not chokes. I vants tocuttetam tog's head off, and if shustice will not give me pai>er, I cuts his head off anyhow." And the lover of sourkrout started to leave the hall; but meeting the "Jeaf uv Bolice," at the door, he conversed with him in the German dialect, made known his wants, and received an order to execute the vicious animal. As he was going out, he met the impassive officer. "All right ?" he inquired. "Yah, all right." I goes straight off to te owner of te tog and kill him. "What, the owner V" "Xo, te tog. You make tam fool of yourself py saying tog ven I means man, und when I means man you say dog. Now you gone to ter tuyval!" and the German incontinently hurried away to meet out vengeance to the animal, who had crossed him in his "glorious path." A Soft Place.?I was down to see the widow, yesterday," said Tim's uncle, "and she gave me backbones for dinner. I went down rather early in the morning ; we talked and laughed, and chatted and run 011, she going in and out occasionally to see to things till dinner was ready, when she helped me graciously to back-bones. Now I thought that, Tim, rather favorable. 1 took it as a symptom of i>ersonal approbation, because every l>ody knows 1 love back-bones, and I flattered myself she had cooked them 011 purpose for me. So I grew particularly cheerful, and f thought I could see it in her too. So after U dinner, while sitting close beside the widow, I fancied we both felt sorter comfortable like? I know I did. I felt that I had fallen over head and ears and heart in love with her, and I imagined, from the way she looked, she hail fallen teeth and toe-nails in love with me. She appeared just for all the world like she thought it was a coming, that I was a-going to court her. Presently, I couldn't help it, I laid my hand soltly on her beautiful slioulUer, and I remarked, when I had placed it there, in my blandest tones, Tim, for I tided to tlirow my whole soul into the expression, I remarked then, with my eyes pouring love, truth, and iidelit) right into her, Widow, this is the nicest, softest place I ever had my hand in all my life." Looking benevolently at me, and at the same time flushing up a little, she said, in melting and winning tones : "Doctor, give me your hand, and I'll put it 011 a much softer place." "In a moment, in rapture, I consented, and taking my hand, she gently, very gently, Tim, and quietly laid it on my head?and burst into a laugh that's ringing in my ears yet." "Now, Tim, I haven't told this to a living soul but you, and, by jinks ! you inusn't ; but I couldn't hold it any longer, so I tell you ; but mind, it musn't go any further." Hon. P. K., late Probate Judge of a neighboring county, was waited on one warm afternoon, by a buxom matron, with a child in her arms, whose business was, as she said, "of a Probate nature." Mr. K. being a polite man, intimated bis readiness, to learn her wishes. "Now," said she, hushing her baby, autl squaring herself for a regular talk, "you see, Judge, my husband was a forehanded man, and left a good farm, well stocked ; and just because I am a lone woman in the world, his relations are going to throw me out of all but my third. "Now, Lawyer ? told me, some time ago, that if there was an heir, he would take it all, and I should be his guardian." "How long since your husband died," asked the Judge. "About thirteen months," was the reply. "And how old is the child?" "Four weeks," was the answer. "I am afraid this case is beyound my jurisdiction," said the Judge, "you had better go back to Squire ." "But," said the woman, "if your Probate Court can't establish an heir what is it good for V" ? School Learning.?A female teacher of a school, that stood on the banks of a quiet English stream, once wished to communicate to her pupils an idea of faith. While she was trying to explain the meaning of the word, a small covered boat glided in sight along the stream. Seizing upon the incident for an ilInstmt.inn shp pYplaimpd? "If I were to tell you that there was a leg of mutton in that boat you would believe me, would you not, even without seeing it yourselves V" "Yes, ma'am" replied the scholars. "Well, that is faith," said the schoolmistress. The next day, in order to test their recollection of the lesson, she inquired? "What is faith ?" "A leg of mutton in a boat,'" was the answer shouted from all parts of the schoolroom. 5^" A Quaker, it is said, took a remarkable line looking horse to market, for sale, and asked a high price for it. The animal attracted much notice, a bargain was soon struck, the money paid, and a receipt given. The buyer was examining his purchase with scrutini'/iurr admiration when the Quaker said : "Well, friend, dost thou see any fault in him "None, whatever," was the reply. "Neither will he ever sec any in thee," said the Quaker. HT "Coine here,, my lad," said an attorney to a boy above nine years old. The boy came, and asked what case was to be tried next V The lawyer answered: "It is a case between the people and the devil?which do you think will be most likely to gain the action ?" "I guess it will be a hard squeeze," said the boy ; "for the people have the most money, but the devil has the most lawyers!" The Plague of Women.?The Shah of Persia, when he was told that a workman had fallen from a ladder, called out: "Who is she V who is she ?" "Please your Majesty, 'tis a //c." "Nonsense !" said the Shah, "there's never an accident without a woman ; who is she V" The Shah was right ; the man had fallen from his ladder because he was looking at a woman in a window. Q3T I)r. Gross, the justly celebrated surgeon, was once dangerously ill. Shortly after his recovery he met one of his lady patients?who remarked to him: "Oh ! Doctor ! I rejoice to see that you are out again ; had we lost you, our good people would have died by the dozen!" "Thank you, madam," replied the affable Doctor; "but now, I fear, they will die by the Gross r A bright cnild asked his mother where he should go when he died ? "To Heaven, I trust," said the mother. "Shall I have anything to eat there ?" "Yes, love you will be fed with the bread of life." "Well, I ho{>e they'll put lots of butter on it,".concluded the youngster. {pn&lbafiif leading. | AN "APPEEL" OF YE OLDEN TIME. An old friend has found among the literary scraps preserved by him for more than a generation, the following "Appeal for Are (air) to the Sextant of the Brick Meetinous," which we publish as a specimen of the humor which sometimes possessed our forefathers: 0 sextant of the meetinouse, wich sweeps And dusts, or is supposed too ! and makes hers, And litesthe gass, and sometimes leaves a screw loose, in wich case it smells orful?worse than lamp ile; And wrings the Bel and toles it when men dies to the grief ol surviving pardners, and sweeps pathes; And for the servases gets $100 per annum, Wich them that thinks doer, let em try it; Getin up befoar star-lite in all weathers and Kindlln fiers when the weather is as cold As zero, and like as not grean wood for kindlers; 1 wouldn't be hired to do it for no some?

THE STOCK LAW. special message of gov. 1iacood approving tiie act. Immediately after the Legislature reassembled, on the llth instant, Governor Ilagood sent to that body a special message approving" the stock law, but suggesting a modification of the recent Act, which, if adopted, will restore the ancient right of common of pasturage, without replacing the fence burden ui>on the farmers. The message created a marked sen 4.: *-* LrtH, 1*? **?,! if il' imrlnrcfnoil I .-Villi! >11 ill UUtll uuuora, (liiu 11 la lUlUbi giuvu k?i? suggestions it contains meet with but little approval among the members. The following is the message i?i full : Columbia, S. C., January 11,1882. Gentlemen of the General Assembly: 1 herewith return with my approval the Act to provide a general Stock law and regulate the operations of the same. In doing so, I desire to accompany the approval with some comment. The Agricultural Department at Washington, in an elaborate and carefully prepared report, in 1871, ut>on the cost of farm fences it. the United States, estimated the cost of such fences in South Carolina at $21,136,800. Before and since 1871, some of the most accurate agricultural writers of the State have established the fact that that the cost of the boundary fences alone in this State is about four dollars to every acre enclosed. I have not the figures of the census recently taken, but the numbei of acres of improved lands in Soutli Carolina was put at 4,000,000 acres. This gives tlx sum of 810,000,000 as the cost of our boundary farm fences, and is corroborative of the estimate of the United States Agricultural Department, which includes cross as well as boundary fences. The duration of the ordinary rail fence ol the country is known not to exceed ten years. With therefore, an annual depreciation of 1< per cent, upon the capital, and interest at 7 per cent, upon the investment, it clearly apl>ears that the annual cost of boundary fences to our agricultural industry exceeds 82,700,000. The State and county taxes levied for all purposes for the last fiscal year, as shown by ?? ? * i nj__ (*1 OAA tlie comptroller's dooks, amounted to 91,000,310. It is, therefore, apparent that theabolition ol boundary fences saves annually to the agricultural industry twice as much money as if paid in taxes by all the industries of the Stati combined. In view of the facts and figures I have given, the general scope and object of the Act 1 return to you meets with my approval. I regard it as eminently wise and judiciously pro gressive. There is a feature in it that doef not commend itself to me, and which is 110I necessary to the accomplishment of the object sought. You will permit me to call your attention to it, and suggest its removal by supplementary legislation. Common of pasturage 011 unenclosed land is a feature in our public policy coeval with our history, and has prevailed unimpaired with us until a very recent period. Along with it came our law of enclosures, which the law under consideration so fundamentally changes. Common of pasturage was the right of every citizen to graze his animals on the unenclosed (winch was then synonymous with the unimproved) lands of his neighbor. It was a right founded not only in a supposed public i>olicy, but in abstract equity. The theory of our law of real estate is, that in the origin of social organization all lands belonged to the people in common. When they began in parcels to l)e assigned to individuals it was, except perhaps in a few cases, ui>on broad grounds of general benefits to accrue; that thus assigned they would become improved, and through taxation add to the general welfare. The grants from the State to the individual were all free, and there was 110 other consideration than tins involved. No present proprietor, whatever sum he has paid for his title, can stand 011 higher ground than the original grantee from the State through whom he ' - T T..1.M ii- 1 i. 1 ?.t.i 1... CUUIUS. UIllll 1IOW II IlilS 11UU UCCIl SUUgUL U.) legislation to place liiin higher. When lie improved his lands and fenced them, as existing legislation required, he was carefully protected by law from intrusion by men or animals. When he failed to improve his lands, and left them unenclosed, though paying his taxes on them at their unimproved rate, the law protected him in the enjoyment of such value as he derived from them?the use of its timber and water. But that value which was left, i. e., the right of pasturage, which he had not appropriated by improvement, was left to public enjoyment. The first infringement upon this common of pasturage by our Legislature occurred 'u 18(50, when it was enacted that every entry on the enclosed or unenclosed lands of another, after notice from the owner or tenant prohibiting the same, should be a misdemeanor. The Act which we are now discussing goes further and absolutely abolishes common of pasturage. It makes it a trespass for the owner of any live stock to i>ermit it to run at large beyond the limit of his own land. While the lands of much the larger part of our State are de\ )ted to agriculture, there remain sections in which it isMiot so. Small j areas are highly improved and devoted to prof-; itable culture, while the larger i>ortion remains in a state of nature and affords only I wood and water and a pasture of limited i value. Even in the most highly improved sections, portions of the country are waste, and there j would seem to be neither policy nor propriety , in forbidding to the general public the con-; sumption of the pasturage on these lands ! which the owner does not himself appropriate, , and the consumption of which does not impair j the value of the lands themselves. It seems to me, therefore, that the Act to provide a Ceneral Stock law is seriously defec-1 tive in abolishing common of pasturage, and should be amended so as to restore this ancient right while retaining all the economic advantages proposed by the Act. Let common of pasturage be restored upon all unimproved lands, properly defining what constitutes unimproved lands, properly defining what constitutes improved lands, and require no fences around improved lands to protect them from trespass of men or animals. The account between the landholder and the general public will then be fairly adjusted upon equitable principles. The landholder will have no unnecessary burden imposed upon him in the development and enjoyment of the property upon which he pays taxes; and the non-landholder will enjoy that right which remains from the original general fund, and has not been appropriated by the grantee through the improvement contemplated in the grant. Observe now with such amendment the operation of the law. The agricultural landholder is relieved of the heavy burden of fencing of which he complains. The pastoral landholder or the non-landholder is deprived of 1^0 right which he possessed. He may still have the pastoral use of all waste lauds; he is only required, in so using them, not to abuse his neighbor. While pasturing his stock upon his neighbor's waste lands, he is not to pasture them upon his neighbor's crops. That is all; and surelely unless the ownership of live stock without the ownership of land confers extraordinary rights, there is 110 iniquity in the requisition. A system of individual or co-oj>erative herding, entirely practicable and comparatively inexpensive, as evidenced in the exi>erience of other countries, will take the place of our present inellicient and exi>ensive system of enclosures, and we will as a people soon recognize the passage of the Stock law as an era in our progress. Johnson IIaoood, Governor. tcgr The railroad bill now before the House of Representatives, is in many respects a codification of the present laws in this State, and so far it is very good, but where changes have been made it seems to us that the bill is very objectionable. For instance, one section allows discrimination in freights at terminal or junctional ]>oints, but prohibits it elsewhere. The effect of this section, if put into practice, would again establish the discriminations which existed in favor of Seneca City, Greenville, Spartanburg, Columbia, Florence, Aiken, Chester, Charleston and perhaps one or two other points in the State, to the injury of all other points in South Carolina. It also allows railroads to carry freights through the State to points beyond the State cheaper than they will deliver them in the State. It prohibits the consolidation of railroads or the purchase or lease of one railroad by another. The effect of this, if put into effect five years ago, would have been to leave all of our railroads in the hands of men incompetent to run them, and kept us impoverished by a horrible system of mismanagement which existed in this State before the consolidation of the various lines of railroad, under the management of men who have the capacity and capital necessary to give us good roads, cheap freights and quick schedules. We want railroads built in South Carolina, and must get our assistance from outside capitalists.?Anderson Intelligencer. "Wiiy Dogs Hun Sideways.?More than one person has doubtless entertained this speculation. A correspondent of the New York Sun explains: There are several reasons of a scientific character why a diagonal position of a dog's body to the line of his motion is the most advantageous for the dog when going at a trot. 1. lie is less liable to be upset. Any oblong body moving forward on the ground lias a broader bearing when turned athwart or diagonally than when going directly endways. A dog gains fifty per cent, or more of base by thus running, so to speak, upon a broad gauge, that is to say, a direct line of his length. Being liable to kicks and blows, and to be pounced ui)on by other dogs, it is obvious that he is able to offer greater resistance when moving diagonally. 2. In ease a dog's safety requires him to turn suddenly and run in an opposite direction?as he is frequently compelled to do?his diagonal i>osition is then most favorable to him, because lie is partly turned around already, and his feet are in a position to serve his object most effectively. <J. Tiie diagonal position enables him to throw a backward glance of his eyes more readily, so that he is safer from attack in the rear. The nature and habits of dogs are peculiarly interesting to mankind, and especially to young people. Does not their diagonal trot show in a familiar way the wondrous faculty of instinct ? Male Pockets.?The full-dress male animal abounds in i>ockets; he has coat pockets, vest-jKickets and pants-pockets ; breast pockets, side-pockets, hip-pockets, pockets in his overcoat, his ulster, and his rubber overalls ; never less than 10 to 20 of these economical hiding places for lots of articles, cash in change, cash in bills, lawyers' briefs, sermons, tradesmen's accounts, doctors' prescriptions, architects' drawings, tax gatherers' lists, blank books of all shapes and sizes, enough to * "? * ?

All kinds of pocket articles are enumerated and defined in the dictionary? l>ocket comb, pocket compass, pocket pistol, pocket money, pocket glass, pocket volumes, pocket inkstand, pen, i>encil and the like. A schoolboy's pockets are a curiosity: a repository for nails, balls, jack knives, ginger bread and apple cores, fishing twine and angle worms, and, as he grows older, billets from the girls, 'excuses" from his mother, and extra problems from his teacher. A female lecturer of some celebrity said, "the only thing for which she envied a man was his multitude of pockets.?Troy 'Times. C'oi.d Feet and Sleeplessness.?The association between cold feet and sleeplessness is much closer than is commonly imagined. Persons with cold feet rarely sleep well, especially women; yet the number of persons troubled is very considerable. This is the plan to adopt with cold feet: They should be dipped in cold water for a brief period. Often just to immerse them and no more is sufficient; and then they should be rubbed with a pair of hairllesh gloves, or a rough Turkish towel, till they glow; immediately after getting into bed. After this a hot-water bottle will be successful in maintaining the temperature of the feet, i,.:il.niittliia i-iroliiriinarv if. id UlUU^Il ? 1 LllVlll/ HIIO juviiuumwj ?v .w .^.rw?v.. v to attempt to do so. Disagreeable as the plan may at first appear, it is ellicient and those who have once fairly tried it, continue it, and find that they have put an end to bad nights and cold feet. Dills, potions, lozenges, "night caps'1 and all narcotics fail to enable the sufferer to woo sleep successfully; get rid of the cold feet and the sleep will come of itself. Why They Often Fail.?Young men often fail to get on in the world because they neglect small opportunities. Not being faithful in little things, they are not promoted to the charge of greater things., A man who gets a subordinate situation sometimes thinks it not necessary for him to give it much attention. He will wait till he gets a place of responsibility, and then he will show people what he can do. This is a very great mistake. Whatever his situation should be he should master it in all its details, and perform all its duties faithfully. The habit of doing his work thoroughly and conscientiously is what is most likely to enable a young man to make his way. With this habit a person of ordinary ability would outstrip one of greater talent who is in the habit of slighting subordinate matters. But, after all, the adoption by a young man of this great essential rule ol' success shows him to be possessed of superior abilities. "What for Dinner?"?"If I only knew what to get for dinner," is the housekeeper's troubled cry. If she cannot do more she can at least vary the old varieties by bringing them to the table in a different dress. Even this is more of an art than may be supposed. A reasonable variety of food is indispensable to bodily comfort and health ; not necessarily a variety at each meal, but from day to day and week to week. There is hardly anything more delectable than broiled steak and mashed potatoes, if you are only hungry and have not partaken of them for a considerable time ; but let them be set before you every day for months, unvaried in their manner of preparation, and you get to dislike them. Potatoes boiled with their skins on are nice enough for anybody; but let potatoes so cooked be the order of every meal, and everything that bears resemblance to a potato peeling will soon become an object of disgust. fg- Galvanized iron is iron covered with zinc in a zinc bath. Formerly it was covered by the aid of electricity, created by a galvanic battery, but lately it is covered with zinc in the same manner that tinned iron is made, still keeping its old name.

The Bible teaches us that all men are lost. Experience and observation teach the same thing. No doubt,- many persons could be found who really do not regard themselves as very wicked, but it would be a difficult matter to find a single individual who believes he is morally what he ought to be. We are so constituted that we cannot reason ourselves into the belief that we are not sinners. Conscience will not die. It is God's monitor in our souls. We never can drive it entirely from its seat. In an unexpected moment, it will become aroused and pierce the soul. Such is the universal experience of all mankind, our observation corresponds with ourex* perience. Now the question of importance is, What must we do to be saved from this lost and sinful condition ? Shall we sit down and reason ourselves into the belief that we are mistaken ? That we are not lost ? That tire goadings of conscience are only bodily pains, produced by a derangement of the animal functions V This we cannot do. Food will satisfy the cravings of w?e appetite, goiu win purchase houses and lands, but gold will not quiet a troubled soul. "What must we do to be saved" is the question which presses upon us. That we may be saved, we must do several things. One single sentence will answer the question, but short as it is, it is very comprehensive. "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." This is the Bible answer to the question, but what does it include ? It includes, among other things, a belief in the existence of one, and only one, Supreme being. The voice of the multitude proclaims "I believe this." Deists believe in the existence of one and only one God, and so do lost spirits and lost men. That we may be saved, we must believe in the God of the Bible. We must believe in his beingand in his attributes. Our notions of the Supreme Being must be clear and distinct?not vague and undefined. It is not meant that we must understand God. This is impossible. "Who can find out the Almighty to perfection ?" Notwithstanding this, we must have a clear and correct knowledge of God, as revealed to us in the Bible. The God that saves sinners is the God of the Bible, not the God of our vain and foolish imaginations. Another thing that we must do in order to be saved, is confess our sins and deuart from all iniquity. It is true that there is no purchasing merit in either confessing our sins or departing from them; but God requires it and we must obey. "We are saved by faith, but if we have faith, we will work the works of righteousness. Another thing that God requires of us, in order to be saved is, that we take up our cross and follow Jesus. The cross suggests so much that we are unable to comprehend all. It suggests suffering. Those who would be saved, must suffer for Jesus as well as believe in him. J The cross suggests shame. Those who would be saved must follow Jesus through shame, if i they would reach glory. We must follow Christ. We must do as he did, think as he thought, and be like him in | that we go about doing good. * Original.] INFIDEL TRUTHS. A celebrated infidel once said, in contempt of Christianity, that Christians were agreed on only the following things, viz.: There is one God and only one God, there is one Saviour and only one, Jesus Christ the son of God ; there will be a resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. On every thing else, he said, they disagreed. He omitted to state that all Christians agree that all men are, by nature, sinners. No doubt this was a mere oversight, on his part. Had he reflected for a moment, he never would have made this .admission. It is true Christians agree on these points; he saw it, and, without thinking, uttered a grand truth. The things on which Christians agree are, it will 1>p. sppii first nrincinles. Thev differ onlv on matters of minor importance. But how is it with infidels ? Do they agree among themselves V Do they all believe the same thing ? There is but one thing about which infi'dels are agreed, and that is that the religion of the Lord Jesus must be banished from the world. On every thing else, they are like the witnesses who testified against Jesus Christ?they agree not among themselves. They have one end in view, but every one has his own plan to accomplish this end. Their language is like the language of those who undertook to build a tower which would reach to heaven. It is strangely confounded. Some infidels undertake to overthrow the religion of Jesus Christ, by showing that it conflicts with science. These scientists have coined new and strange words, framed long and obscure sentences, which make them appear learned in the eyes of the multitude. In reality, they have very little real scientific knowledge. They have investigated nothing. They are mentally unable to investigate anything. Generally they are prodigious talkers? that and nothing more. [Original.] THINGS CHANGE. About a century ago, a portion of the world went crazy over Materialism. One of the most learned men England ever sent to America, wrote a long tract to show "the impossibility of an immaterial, indiscerptible, immortal soul." There was nothing original in his theory. More than two thousand years before he saw the light, the same notions had been held by many. Now the effort is to propagate a theory, the very opposite of this. A century ago, there was, according to some men, no such thing as spirit. All was matter. Angels and the souls of men, according to these sages, were words which denoted the creations of disordered braius?tlie ravings of sick men. Public opinion, in some quarters, has changed, and matter has now no existence. All is spirit. "What we see, according to this spirit theory, we do not see; and what we hear we do not hear; and the strangest thing of all is, that we see things we do not see with our eyes, and hear sounds which we do not hear with our ears. All this stuff sounds, in the ears of some, like learning. What are we to think of that theory which requires us to call in question the testimony of our senses ? Our senses may, and often do deceive us; but how can we avoid believing their testimony V The thing is impossible. The man who advocates the theory that the human soul is nothing but well organized matter, matter well adjusted, deserves to be laughed at. The same may be said of the man who claims that there is no such thing as matter. What are we to think of the man who holds that the Rocky Mountains have no existence?that they are a mere notion ? There are some persons who are constantly asking for special rules of life. They would have an individual Bible, with particular instructions for each hour of their lives; but Christ dealt with great principles, which are to be the basis and motive of all action ; from these, with the aid of his Spirit, we are to draw out our own applications. They who tread life's pathway ever bearing on their faces an expression of cheerfulness, are radiant ministers of good to mankind. They scatter sunshine on all they meet; depression and gloom fade away in their presence. tiT Let us learn that everything in nature, even motes and feathers, go by law, and not by luck, and what we sow we are sure to reap. THE YORIVILLE ENQUIRER. PROSPECTUS FOR 1883.

Everybody wants it, but very few get it, because most people do not know how to select coffee, or it is spoiled in the roasting or making. To obviate these difficulties has been our study. Thurber's package Coffees are selected by an expert who understands the art of blending various flavors. They are roasted in the most perfect manner {it is impossible to roast well in small quantities), then put in pound packages (in the bean, not ground,) bearing our signature as a guarantee of genuineness, and each package contains the Thurber recipe for making good Coffee. We . pack two kinds, Thurber's "No. 34," strong and pungent, Thurber's "No. 41," mild and rich. One or the other will suit every taste. They have three great points, good quality, honest quantity, reasonable price. Askyoxir Grocer for Thurber's roasted Coffee in pound packages, "No. 34," or "No. 41." Do not be putoff withany otherkind? your own palate will tell you what is best. Where persons desire it we also furnish the "Ideal" Coffee-pot, the simplest, best and cheapest coffee-pot in existence. Grooers who sell our Coffee keep thorn. Ask for descriptive circular.
