Finer Than Our Court House.

Two hundred thousand pounds (§1,000.000) is the pretty sum an Argentine paper declares to be sunk in the furnishing and deco> ating of the sleeping room of Mr. M. S. Marchand, the American millionaire. The room itself is twenty-three and one-half yards long by eight broad. The walls are covered with paintings protected by rare enamel, and the carved ceiling alone cost §20,000. The carpet and curtains represent §16,000. Amongst the furniture the bed, of ebony, with inlay of ivory, which it took three years to perfect to the fancy of this capricious Croesus —stands for §20,000, and the bed curtains for about §SO a yard. There is an easy chair at §12,000; every chair is of ivory and worth §5,000; the washstand of massive silver cost §24,(XX) and the bedside table §5,000. | / Cash buys more at Judy and The Lief Buggy Company than anywhere else. Good correspondence stationery, cheap at The Democrat office. A whole armload of bld papers for a nickel at The Democrat office. When others fail to suit you in price, style and durability of buggies, wagons, harness, etc., then see Judy and The Lief Buggy Company.
