Our aim is to give our customers First-class Goods for very little
money. We mark our goods down to a• bare -living profit, and have but
one price. We do not advertise any Big Discopnt Stile in order to draw
trade, for every intelligent person knodvs what that means. When a firm
advertises in that way, it 1s quite easy to understand what they do; they
simply add to the regular price the percentage they intend taking off.
This is.a fact that has been proven in the so-called Great Discount Sales.
-When buying, don't simply look at the discount offered, but deduct that
discount from the regular price, and then compare it with the prices of
others. If you call on us we can show you the beat assortment o urni-
• tare in the County, and our -prices aro as low as the lowest

'The follpwing.extracts from a letter to a
friend in Clinton, will be read with inter-
est. This is only a small part of the letter
and further extr.tcts will oe made from it
in another issue;—
"After six days beautiful voyage we ar-
rived in Liverpool at J p.m. Friday, Deo.
lst, and at once take the special train to
London. After a frightfully cold ride of
five and a half hours (the oars are not heat.
ed in England) we arrive in old London,
and it is 3.30 a. m, Saturday before we are
safely and ` comfortably quartered in the
famous old hotel, referred to by both Dick-
ens and Thaokery in their books, the Bed-
ford. As we leave London the following
Friday, we have a busy week before us;
our tropical wardrobe has to be looked
after, and the rest of the time must be put
in sightseeing. I will now try and give
you (without order) the many sights of in-
terest we saw. This is all I can hope to
do in a letter. I drove down-- through
Whitechapel on a London buss at nigbt
and saw the peculiar, though interesting,
specimens of humanity of which that
district boasts. I was on London Bridge
—"the .bridge of sighs"—ceveral times.
Once at night and saw many of those poor
wretched downcast creatures, of whom I
bad often heard, lying down to spend the
night in the littlo recesses in the bridge -
way, put there as resting places for way-
farers, and what a struggling, seething
mase of humanity one sees there no matter
what hour he may go. I went to St.
Pain's Cathedral, a very fine structure,
and saw the tomba of Wellington and nu-
merous other heroes of the past. I also
went up into the whispering gallery, a
most wonderful thing to see and hear; I
saw the old Bow church and heard the old
Bow Bells that chanted_ _b.e_ear •saf. Pick,
'Miffing such inspiring lays. I saw the
old building that was used as the castle of
Henry VIII, and where, no doubt, that
amorous prince was wont to woo and
marry as was his custom. I walked Fleet
Street, Strand, Cheapside and other fam-
ous thoroughfares down town, and on one
of them caw the tailor shop of Dombey &
Son, still doing business at the same old
stand. I went 'through the Law Courts,
scarcely lerger or finer than our own Os-
oede Hall, and just opposite the Law
Courts, on Strand, I wandered carelessly
oto a little 6 ft. lane and after a few yards
alk that lane led me to a large opening—
church yard, and in the centre the quaint-
st, o'--desl, prettiest little church I have
ver seen, all covered with ivy - and sur-
ounded by a broad paved walk of large
marble stones, and every stone in it bore
nscription showing it to be the the monu-
ment of some or other of the prominent
itizens cf London of years ago, and across
he yard, away over in one corner, I found
ne of the stones bearing an inscription
hat showed it to be a spot than which I
ould nothavefouud a spot more interesting.
he simple inscription was, "Here lies
liver Goldsmith," and as I stood over his
ust, I thought of how much pleasure and
elight he, my favorite .poet, had afforded
he world. It' Careless, rollicking, roving,
rge-hearted Goldsmith. I left the spot
ith regret, and was soon out on the busi
st street in London again. Passing Tenn -
le Bar—the limit of old London—I am
oon at Trafalgar Square, an asphalt
quare,dotted-with magnificent monuments;
ith an immense one of Nelson in the
ntre. This is the great open meeting
ace of London, and on Sunday afternoon
passed it when an immense anarchist
eeting was assembling, while the police
ere endeavoring to disperse them without
olence. I went to the famous Spurgeon's`
bernacle on Sunday morning, and heard
e son of his father deliver a fairish ser -
on. Sunday afternoon we go to West-
inster Abbey, and hear Canon Farrar
each an eloquent and powerful sermon.
nd what a place is Westminster Abbey?
ike an immense cemetery of all the great
d good whom Britain has produced for
es past. The very atmosphere seems
pregnatecl with sombthing of the majesty
bpd awe which the combined personalities
(those buried or monumented there might
expected to produce. A peculiar hazy
aviness is apparent, which I am unable
adequately desoribe, but which, 'never.
elese, is responsible for the feeling of
lief which one unconscicusly feels on
ming out from its precincts, however
uch of a pfeaeure—and it is a real delight
it may be to be there. We did Picadilly,
d there I saw the London residences of
any famous men; drove through Hyde
rk, took in several theatres and the Em.
re music hall, a description of which I
11 reserve till we haply meet again. We
e t some time in the Museum, saw
mer a confusing mase of wonders the
eserved mummy of Cleopatra, many
gnificent relics of ancient art, and other
nders too numerous to even mention.
ent several hours at the Royal Academy,
ed at the Holborn Restaurant (the lin-
in the world) saw the famous waxworks,
dame Tonseands, crossed Biackfriar's
dge, and, Oh ! I can't' think of all, the
hts of absorbing interest we were privi-
ed to see, in one 'holt week, in London,
ou might be interested to know my
nion of London snd Englishmen, from
short acquaintance of both, however
ch'your own opinion might differ from

Imo no chances offered them for bettering
their positions. A man's occupation there,
if honest, though menial, counts against
him as much for rising in the world as
though his occupation were thieving with
us. The faithful clerk is never rewarded
with a partnership; .the apt mechanic can
never become the master mechanic, the
clever sailor can never become a captain,
and I might go on. Confound it l I hate
their system. Take, for instance, the sys-
tem in vogue on our Ship. A boy starts in
as a sailor before the mast, and no natter
how efficient he may prove himself to be,
the highest position aboard ship he pan
Ever attain is that of quartermaster. To
the gentry above is permitted the privilege,
of becoming captains. A young whelp of A
boy not out of his teens, fresh and green
from school, comes aboard, and because he
has influence and money, starts as fifth'
officer, and is over the old experienced tars
who have spent their life on water, and the
like of whom have made .Drl.ta,i}1 what She
fe-tlee'in stro-s of tiro seas. Dues it seem
right.
Of Englishmen I had formed in Londoite
very much the same opinion as I now have
of their system, but since leaving there I
have meta number o@ such delightful Eng.
fish people that I cannot bat feel that it is
their system and habits and manners that
are so outrageous to a Canadian's mind,
and not the people themselves. Ono has
to overlook entirely the peculiar superi-
ority which Englishmen claim for them•
selves over all other people, as well as their
looking upon us as mere Coloniltls—inferi•
or mortals, to their minds. But when I
think of the rot with which I have filled
the last few pages, T fear you will think I
am running eJlort of material of
which to
write you. Far from it, I oan assure you,
and yet these ideas have been so thoroughly
impressed on my mind since coming here,
that I could not but give expression to
them. Whatever little spirit of "imperial-
ism" there may have been in my make up
before coming, 'has entirely vanished, and
I feel more than ever that Canada and Ca-
nadians are the equals of any in the world,
and their true course is to look out for
themselves, regardless of Britain .or British
interests. Pardon my preaching such
heterodoxy, I fear it will distress you.
I almost forgot to tell you I was in the
House of Commons three times, our own
Edward doing things up in good style for
us. Mrs Horsey was there once also. The
chamber is a very disappointing affair,
about Ane -third the size of our own House
of Corremons, and the average standard of
debate is decidedly' not superior to ours.
I heard speak Chamberlain, Balfour. Web
ster, Russell, Dilke, Harcourt, and Goschen.
Our Blake is as far ahead of any of these
men as one can well imagine. But I also
heard the grand old man, Gladstone, twice,
and what an old debating Hercules he is.
.Lie Wee grander,moree-eloquent,.. and more
powerful than I had ever pictured him in
fancy. Sitting in his seat, he looked a
feeble decrepid, worn-out old war horse,•
and I, for the time was disappointed in
him. But the debate grew warm, the
Government was hard pressed, Goschen
was rubbing it in pretty hard. The Old
Man is'paving strict attention, he scents
the battle from afar, and immediately on
Goschen taking his seat, Gladstone takes
the floore amid the ringing cheers of his
followers, a peculiar excited breathlessness
of the galleries, and a general rush of mem-
bers to the Chamber. His first three
words, and the tone in which they are nt-
teeel, are an inspiration. "Me honorable
friend." With what peculiar mellowness
he uttered this I can never tell you. And
then he went on for fifteen or twenty min-
utes in a real downright fighting speech,
full of power and wit and eloquence and
fight. His grand figure, the head's mag-
nificent poise, the .delightful gesture, and
the peculiar-mellowy power of voice in-
stinctively lead one to exclaim, "Ecce !
Orator." I felt when I had heard' Glad-
stone that the supremest delight of a'Lon-
don visit had been mine, and when I heard
him in such a speech, I considered myself
treely fortunate. Blake had never heard
him to better advantage."

A Racking Cough
Cured by Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
Mrs. P. D. HALL, 217 Genessee St,
Lockport, N. Y., says :
" Over thirty years ago, I remember
hearing my father describe the wonder -
Ful curative effects of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack of La
Grippe, which assumed the form of a
catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accom-
panied by an aggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions. •
While some of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs which
would seize me the moment I attempted
to lie down at night. After tell or twelve
such nights, I was
Nearly in Despair, '
and had about decided to sit up all night
in my easy chair, and procure what
sleep I could in that way. It then oc-
curred to me that I had a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took a
spoonful of this preparation in a little
water, and was able to lio down without
coughing. In a few moments, I fell
asleep, and awoke in the morning
greatly refreshed and feeling much
better. I took a teaspoonful of the Pec-
toral every night for a week, then grad-
ually decreased the dose, and in two
weeks my cough was cured." -
