Champagne of tae "Golden Seal," la a fine wine, but that flavored with "Greenbacks" is more acceptable.

It's along lane that has no turning. Summer is now approaching at last— the season for pleasant evening drives on tbe splendid roads leading out in every direction from this city.

It is so nice, convenient, and healthfal to have a carriage of your own, going at your pleasure, to say nothing of cutting off expensive livery bills.
Baur, tbe druggist will erect a very han some residence this season. A drawing of the front elevation is shown in the window of Bartlett A Co's Central Bookstore, where everybody places anything they want to have seen, because it is here that everybody goes to see the largest selection of standard and miscellaneous books, light and heavy reading, every variety of plain and fancy stationery, chromos, photographic and stereoscopic pictures, games, toy books and other articles to please tho eye, instruct the mind, and while away the hours.
Tbe most refreshing and healthful summer drink that luxury has ever suggested or science compounded is soda water, cold, sparkling and delicately flavored. Ambrosia was no mere to be compared to soda, such as Buntin A Armstrong draw from the "Frost King," than a puddle in a horse track to tbe cool spring on the hillside. Here yon get soda that soda—not the sweet slop dispensed at many fountains in this city—but the purest syrups, holding the foaming: nectar until the last drop, the last bubble, is drained from the bottom of the glass.

One way toao tfiTs ls"to select one good grocery establishment and there buy all your table supplies. We recommend that of Milligan A Johnson, northwest corner of Fourth and Cherry streets.

Cleanliness is nexf to Godliness." This is true in all things, and especial ly is it agreeable in what we eat. Samuel Stone, the groceryman, on Main street,near Seventh, is a strict observer of the same, and consequently bis establishment always loooks as trim as a tidy woman's dwelling alter spring house cleaning. And it is well stocked with the choioest groceries, the freshest country produce, poultry, fruits and vegetables in season. 'Twas a calm, still night, and the moon's pale light sbohe soft o'er hill and dale" as a fair young couple walked out together, each of them adorned with choice specimens of jewelry purchased at Riddle's elegant establishment.

He selects such styles of jewelry as be knows will please the public, and he always places temptation pric's on everything he sells.
