The weather has been unfavorable for heavy selling of cold weather goods since the beginning of our Discount Sale and we think it advisable to offer some greater bargains while there is yet several weeks of cold weather time before us, rather than run any risk of carrying over any of the stuff. ..

GREEK FIRE.

the Terrible Engine of Dostraotion Wm UI«d In Warfare. Joinville, who Eerved under King Louis.IXin the seventh cmeadeof 1248, gives a graphic description of the terrors of Greek lire: "It happened onenight that tho Turks brought up an engine that they called the perriere (stono thrower), a terrible engine of destruction, and placed it in front of sonic cut castles (chaz chateil) that M. Gaultier de Curel and I wero guarding that night, and from this engine they throw Greek fire at us in great quantities (a plante). It. was tho most horrible thing that ever I saw. When tho good knight, M. Gaultier, my comrade, saw tho lire, ho cried out. and said to us: 'Seigneurs, we are lost forever without remedy, for if they set lire to our cat castles wo shall bo consumed and burned, and if wo leave our post wo shall be disgraced, and so I conclude that there is no ono who can defend us from this peril except God, our blessed Creator. Ordor all our men, every time tho enemy throws tho Greek lire, to throw thomsolves on their bauds andkneos and cry, "Tiinnks to our Lord, in whom is all power!' And whenever the Turks fired the lir.st shot we threw ourselves thus on our hands and knees, as our commander had ordered. Tho nature of Greek firo wan BUCII that it advanced toward us as big as a tun, and its tail extended a yard ill length (uno domyo-cannedoquatropans). It made such a noise in coming that it seemed as (hough it were a thunderbolt falling from heaven and appeared to me liko a groat dragon flying in the air. It threw out such brilliant light that it was as clear as daylight in our host, .-=0 gre&t was its flame of fire. Three t-inu\« that night tliey throw this Greek firo

us from tho aforesaid perriero and four times from the great crossbow (arbeleste a tour), and every time our good King Kt Lonis hoard that they wero throwing tho lire at ua in this manner he

cast

himself upon tho ground, and stretching out his hands, with his face upraised to heaven, ho cried in a loud voice to our Lord and exclaimed as ho shed groat tears, 'Bean Sire Diou Jesus Christ, gnrdo moy et, toute ina gent.'

("Hi.s-

toire de St Louis," Petitot, volume page 235.) The cat castles mentioned by Joinvilic wore wooden towers used in sieges, iw the word canno ia a Frjnch measure of length equivalent to six feet and consisting of eight pans of nino inches each. There was nothing novel in the mere throwing of tire. It has always been ono of tho usual incidents of sieges. —Gentleman's Magazine.

SAVED BY A CAT.

llow a liashfu! locni Man at Last (Jut a Spoon. There is a man, well known in judicial circles as one of tho most polished and courtly of gentlemen, who tells the following story:

Ho had not, in hid early youth, those advantages which tend to produce ease of manner. When about 15, he was much in lovo with a neighbor's daughter, and, according to his statement, was at this time nearly feot tall, ungainly, shy and with'the proverbial ubiquitous hands and feet.

One Sunday ho was at dinner with his rosy cheeked sweetheart, and when tho gnosts had been served with soup tho youth discovered that ho had 110 spoon. Ho grew red in tho faco and was in an agony of mortification and dismay. If I10 asked for a spoon, ho folt suro every one would look at him if ho did not eat his soap, his hostesi would be sure to remark it. What was I10 to do? He felt his hands growing larger and moro in the way titan ever, and his feet oauKerl mi tr 1 'on by absolutely refusing !o go uutim- his chair.

SLAVE RAIDS IN AFRICA.

Moto Tlian a Hundred Villages Destroyed I11 One Campaign. As wo approached the falls wo paw that the river bankH had been depopulated and the villages were in ashes. We passed dead bodies floating in the river. Canoes were standing on end liko hollowed columns crowds of fugitives were afloat, and hiding among (he reedy islands. These wore all signs of a general terror, but wo could get 110 information of its character. Vaguo ideas of an invasion from some savage tribe camo to our minds, and now and then wo had a misgiving that there must bo Arab slavers in tho neighborhood.

Continuing our ascent, on tho third day we came in sight of a huge Arab camp on the right bank, and before long wo discovered that tho Arabs of Nyaugwe (Liviugstono's farthest point), hav1 ing heard the most exaggerated reports of our successful dosoent of tho Kongo in 1S77, had hastened after us to reap a harvest of ivory and slaves. They had been too successful. Over 11S villages bad beon destroyed boiow Stanley falls alone, a rich plunder of ivory was in their camp, and several hundred slaves, old and young, wero herded like goats and heavily fettered in the slave pen. Itthen appeared- that while wo had been negotiating with the negro chiefs along tho river, making roads, building stations and hauling stoamers overland, tho Arabs of Nyaugwe had been coming down the river, laying the country waste. Wo had at last met, about 50 miles bolow tho falls. A glance at tho scenes of tho camp was sufficient to reveal what a future awaited the Kongo valloy had wo not concoived tho project of opening tho river to civilizing influences. Tliero was not a moment to loso.

We had no authority to open firo on the miscreants. They wore subjects of the Prince of Zanzibar, who was a protege of England, and to plunge into hostilities with them might possibly involve us in .serious complications. But while we dared not use force we belioved that by continuing the samo system wo had found so successful with tho native chiefs wo could check the audacity of tho slavers by our more preseuco among them. After some days spent in cautious and friendly negotiations with the Arabs wo wero permitted to establish a station at the falls, and after seeing it, well advanced wo turned tho prows of uur steamers down river toward Leopoldvillo.—Henry Al. Stanley in Contury.

No Kick Coming:.

One day when a coupe driven along Broadway at the rate of ten miles an hour had come within a liairbroadth of running me down I followed it up for three or four blocks until it came to a halt beaido the curbstone. "Do you know," I.said to tho drivor, who grinned as I10 saw 1110 approach, "that you nearly ran me down ten minutes ago?" "Yes, sir," he promptly replied. "You had me in between your carriage and a cable car, and it was a close call." "Yes, it was, sir. "You didn't even try to pull up your horse,'' I persisteyl. "No, sir." "Then you didn't care whether you ran mo down or not?" "No, sir." "Well, that's cool 1 Aro you in the habit of killing people who may bo orossing tho street as you come along?" "Not in the habit, no, sir. You see, ifc was this way. A gout picks mo up at tho Fifth Avenue and wants to git down to tho Star theater in five minutes. I enn't git him there in five, but I can in eight if thero isn't a block and tlio wheels stay on, and I does it and gots 50 cents extra." "But where do I come in?" "You? Why, you escaped with your life, and there's no kick coming to you. Wait till you are run down and killed and then let the widdy do the kickin." —-Detroit Free Press.

Rough on tho Assembly.

Sir Herbert Maxwell, M. P., retells a tale about the lord high commissionership of the general assombly of tho 'Ciurch of Scotland. When Mr. Disraeli I w. forming his administration in 1874, a certain noblo earl, noted, in addition to many estimable qualities, for his fecundity of forciblo expletive, expressed a strong desire to become masfor of tho buckhounds. "Well," said Disraeli, "I had myself thought of that post for your lordship, but the truth is that her majesty is very particular about the lati-
