ting forth low prices, but as all are pretty wide awake, each will be pushing to get out first of their high cost goods, and what was high cost to the merchant will be low cost to the consumer. As competition will regulate prices, and as the press is a medium through which the people look for information, we advise a e.ircful looking around before making irclinses and see where the mod attractive stocks and the lowest prices are to be found. The recent decline in prices indicates a healthy future for I he merchants, as prices must lie near the bottom and, as in all probability, (here will be no reaction, daily wants can he supplied without fear of higher prices in future.

On Wednesday last Abram D. Allen, a well known and highly esteemed citizen of Honey Creek township, accidentally shot himself, causing immediate death. He saw a hawk near his house, and telling his wife to watch it, took down his gun, and to ascertain whether it was loaded, pushed the hammer of the cock back, and was in the act of blowing into the muzzle, when his foot slipped and the charge in the gun passed up through the brain and lodged in the back part of the head. He did not speak afterwards and died in a few minutes. He leaves a wife and one child. —————

POI.ITENE.HS.—Wc

saw a specimen of

politeness yesterday morning that is worthy of note. A gentleman going down Main street, observed a fussy little dog in front of astore, shivering in thccold, and manifestingby certain unmistakable signs that the situation didn't suit him. Ashe whined and looked up imploringly into the face of our friend, he stopped and opened the door. In bolted the dog, with a smile of canine thankfulness, and a gratified wag of his stub of a tail. It was a little act, but it betokens *a good heart. He had no acquaintance with the dog, and had nothing toexpeet from him, yet he did him a favor for the simple sake of doing good to a fellow creature.

ARREST OF THIEVES.—A man by the name of Charles Dove was arrested on last Saturday at the Depot, wearing the overcoat of Sam. L. Bridwell, which was stolen from a buggy in front of the Centenary church, in this city, two weeks ago yesterday. Officer Hayward took him to the Mayor's office, where he fold a pretty straight story as to where he got the coat. But the Mayor instructed Hayward and Marshal Whiteman to go and search the premises—on Chestnut street, between Sixth and Seventh—where Dove and his partner, Herman Miller, lived, keeping bachelor's hall, where they found a large quantity of stolen property, most of which has already been identified. The stolen property consisted of a feather bed and bed clothing, horse blankets, chains, harness, buggy whips, a quantity of smoking tobacco, worth about twenty dollars, and numerous other small articles.

Dove and Miller have only been in the city about six weeks, and have been steadily at work for Thomas Cahill, contractor for the grading and graveling of Thirteenth street.

When they came here they brought two horses with them. The bed, bedding, canned fruit, coffee pot, coffee mill and other household goods were stolen from the house of William Troutman, who resides on South First street, and was temporarily absent with his family at the time. They waived an examination and were held to bail, each in the sum of seven hundred dollars, which failing to give, they were committed to jail. —————

JOSEPH JEEKERSON played one of his earliest engagements in this city about twenty years ago. Early's pork house was the theater and tallow candles made the foot -lights.—(litzetlc.

Our neighbor is in error as to the place and date of Jefferson's "engagement" in this city. His first and only appearance here was in Hauler's old pork house, on the corner of Mulberry and Second streets, some eight or ten years before Eail) pork house was built, and his performance consisted of two or thiee comic songs. Young Joe, then a boy of about twelve years, was traveling with his father, who had a small itinerant troupe They desired to give'a performance here, but found that the licen-e fee for a single theatrical entertainment was fifty dollars, a sum larger than their gro.-s receipts were likely to be in a small place and in "hard times." Inquiry developed the fact that a concert license could be had for five dollars. On this hint .Jefferson, Sr., acted. He advertised a concert which consisted, as we have said, of two or three comic songs, by little Joe. lho letter of the law being thus satisfied, the company gave their usual entertainment. The present Joe Jeflerson's father was not a distinguished actor, but his father took leading rank in the profession. No one of the family, however, has ever attained such fame and fortune as have come to the Joe Jeflerson ot to-day through his unapproachable rendition of Kip

Van Winkle." If, as we hope will be the case, the proprietors of our magnificent Opera House should accetfc to the proposal, already made, to ha\ that beautiful Temple of the Muses dedicated bv Mr. ,Jeflerson in his favorite character, the event will derive added interest from the great actor's early appearance here. The contrast between the little Joe of thirty years ago, singing comic songs in a tallow-candlc-lighied pork house, in an obscure town, and Joe Jefferson, of world-wide renown, playing a part with which his name is indissoluble associated, and must thus stand forever among the brightest annals of the drama, in one of the most beautiful dramatic halls on the continent, amid the intelligence, refinement and wealth of a prosperous citv of more than twenty thousand inhabitants, will presciu one of those suggestive scenes thai are possible only in such a country as ours, where talent, industry and en'erprise are sure ot their splendid reward, whore men and cities alike may grow in a few short year:: from poverty and obscurity to greatness and lenown. Mr. Jefferson will (ind that time has wrought vastly greater changes here since his former visit'than those which occurred in Falling Water during Kip's long sleep, but he will not find himself a stranger to our citizens, nor will he fail of cordial welcome. *'Kip can ne\cr sleep again long enough to be forgotten.

The last but not the least <seance> given by the "astonishing wonder" in the <role> of mediumship, occurred on Thursday evening. There was a larger attendance than usual, a number of our city officials and prominent business men composing part of the audience. This was the time designated at a previous assemblage, when sundry "tests" would be permitted, the performance of which would still further astound the people, confirm the faith of those whose confidence in Spiritualism had been shaken by the recent exposure, and fully retrieve the lost laurels of Tuesday evening.

A member of the committee who acted on Tuesday evening stated, that the meeting was by appointment, the result of the acceptance by the medium of certain propositions which if carried out would be satisfactory to them.

This gentleman was named to act as one of the committee. The medium strenuously objected, urging that the spirits had forbidden him to serve and that a more modest man must be chosen—otherwise the medium would be subjected to unsalutary influences that would seriously impair the nature of the manifestations. Not wishing to disturb the "conditions," the excommitteeman gracefully retired and took a back seat. With the substitution of another gentleman, the medium was visibly gratified. She assumed a bolder attitude and almost defiantly stepped forward and requested the committee to tie her in any way, by the wrists, thumbs or otherwise. The confident manner that attended her now struck terror to the skeptics and the weak-kneed began to tremble.

The committee having completed the tying operation, the doors of the cabinet were closed. Soon they came open, and the medium asked what they wanted her to do. The reply was, to untie herself. She said that no such promise had been given for this appointment, and appealed to the former committee to confirm the statement. It finally decided that the only real promise that the "spirits" had made, was to take off the sealed sack without breaking the tapes or the seals.

Having untied the "tom-fooling" knots the committee proceeded to place the tape on her neck, and having tied it, they settled it with green sealing wax, impressing the initial N upon it.

The medium then entered the clothespress. In a few moments she opened the door and asked if there was not a name on the seal. The reply was that there was

110

name, buj simply a letter.

"I (old that there must be nothing of that kind

011

the sealing."

The knot -'s then sealed with red wax, but notwithstanding this concession on the part of the committee, the "conditions" were such that she could not extricate herself from the sack, and the attendants luul to release her.

The medium was now exceedingly embarrassed and asked for a private interview with the gentleman whom the "spirits" had ignored. Aftcrobjecting, he consented, when she urgently begged him to have regard for her feelings and not expose her any further, to be as easy with her as possible, for her own and her mother's sake, and not to tell the audience what she had said to him, for she had reasons for her conduct, which she was not prepared to make known at present.

At this juncture a general desire was expressed to see something in the way of 1 te.-t. The medium replied that the pirits were not with her as a band there were only one or two and they could not aid her very materially. She scolded the entlemen, calling them "barbarians," heathen" and other cniearing epithets. She said there had been so much confusion during the evening, that the medium was excited, Ac. Here a gentleman intimated that there had been no restrictions placed upon conversation and laughter, but lie would pledge the audicnee to solemn stillness lor the space of an hour if the spirits could thereby be induced to operate. A follower of the "new system made a few remarks, enlightening the crowd with the gratifyingintelligence that he was also a -n^Hinn (he was certainly not an rr/iYiVthat he was only partinllv developed the had a very healthy look) and that he could tell a medium whenever he passed one on the street, by day or night. The effect of this oratorical effort was somewhat dampened by somebody saving that he would prefer such a meeting

011

the street to happen by daylight.

The "undeveloped" subsided. The programme was evidently about finished, when one of the managers explained the cause of the entire failure in the customary style, and asked if there was anything additional desired before adjournment. An emphatic veiecdisclosed the desire of its owner to reeovcr fifty nts that had been invested earlier in the eveuinsr. Figuratively, we have often heard the persuasive words, "Here's where you get vour money back! Literally "and positively the admission money was refunded at the-door, implying, perhaps, not so much a tacit acknowledgement that the afiair was a grand hoax, as a wholesome dread lest the Chief Magistrate of our citv should carry out his threat to punish the managers for evading the licence-tax on shows!

But the weight of denunciation and withering scorn should not be directed so much against the individual as toward ihe satanic doctrines that are disseminated through such sacreligiotis demonstrations. The propagators of Spiritualism first endeavor to blind the ordinary senses, thus preparing the way for their anti-ehristinn sentiments to take root in the minds and hearts of their victim-. Let the voice of warning be raised b, the.churches and the people let all seize vhe weapons of truth, go lorlli valiantly agMiist the monster now striken to the ground in our midst, and rest not, dav nor nigh until his death-struggles be" overpast. INVESTIAGTOR.

COUNTRY PEOPLE are already complaining of the condition of the roa4ft leading to the city.

Spiritualism.

The details of what took place at the scance, when the alleged expose was perpetrated, arc substantially true, but the deductions drawn therefrom, are what I shall endeavor to controvert. Facts aft stubborn things, and are not to be explained away by any amount of theory, however plausible it inav appear at first night. f,

This '"tomfool" knot is not objected to because it is impossible to untie it, but because of the great amount of power it uses up, required for other work. The writer, and many other, witnesses, are ready to testify that the most skillful •knots, and closely drawn, have been untied, but always under protest, for the above reasons.

The objections^ a square knot, by the skeptic is that, by a certain twist of the wrist, the knot becomes two half hitches, or slip-knot which may be^ enlarged so that the hand can be withdrawn all of which, if the writts are not drawn too closely together, is admissible. But there is one fact that must not be overlooked. The knots when once reduced to two half hitches, can not, by any possible twist, or strain, of the wrist, be restored to a square knot. It will not do to assert that, when the hand is withdrawn, it is then free to adjust the knots, for if they were restored to their proper form, and to the size of the wrist, the free hand which did it could not be replaced.

The printer's ink trick was not "humilating" to the few spiritualist who were present on that occasion, and annoying only in as much as it interfered with the work of the serines. The trick is not new in its conception the same has been done with other mediums in the Eastern States, and by careful investigation and experiment, jointly by a committee of spiritualist and skeptics, it was decided, and so published by their authority, that, any coloring matter placed upon the person of the medium, the hand for instance, if this member be materialized, the stain also conveyed or materialized. On the other hand, if printer's ink or like subance be placed upon any object, and the materialized hand comes in contact therewith so as to become also stained, and when the hand is again disolved it at once returns, with the stain, to the hand from which it was materialized. With this view, the mystery which overhangs this part of our subject is solved, so far as we are capable of understanding the chemical laws brought to bear upon tins wonderful manifestation of spirit power.

Investigator's theory for the manner of removing the sack is so very unreasonable, that one's organ of credulity must be more severely taxed in its' embrace than it would be by believing that "there^are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than is drempt of in our philosophy."— If we assert that tlie-e things are done by human hands, (such a feat as removing the sack cannot be classed amongst slight of hand performance—having the appearance of reality and is not), we are obliged to acknowledge that the work is done by the voluntary agency of the medium, or else bv some agency outside of her physical powers. Now, Investigator, in claiming the former theory, has not only the facts agaist him, that no professed juggler or performer of ledgcrdemain has ever yet been able to satisfactorily imitate these manifestations, even when allowed all the paraphernalia of his profession, and lurtlier, that they are only performed by avowed spiritualists—-those who he would fain have the world believe are crazy fanatics and fools—and this ioo, without anv machinery about their persons or sur roundings to aid them, but his theory has nothing to recommend it but that the thing is done, and hence there must be somewa} to do ii and it will never do to attribute to the work of disembodied human be ings. It is truly sad to reflect upon how much materialism there is yet existing among mankind, after eighteen hundred years of Christian labor, and how everything spiritual which appeals to our sen ses as rational beings—stripped of the miraculous and its total dependence upon blind faith, is ignored and hunted down by the Christian world.

To claim that the medium can untie the tape, melt the wax, take oft the sack, retie the tape and restore the wax so: nearly to its original form that the difference. if anv, cannot be seen even by the mcHt scrutinizing, and this within a dark cabinet, in which she has also the duty to perform of almost constantly sounding the whistle and bells, is simply absurd. From whence came the heat spoken of to melt the wax was it a common match? /The burning of a single match ill that- small apaartment for such purpose would have been detected by the committee in.^tantl^

on ojiening the door. On last evening the visitor was present at another seancc of this medium, at which there were about forty persons, mostly men. There was but little done in the cabinet manifestations, so little indeed, that it was considered almost an entire failure, and at about 9 o'clock the assembly dispersed, receiving their monev back as they passed out. «WW«MHIII

The reason for this failure was obviously owing entirely to the disturbed mind of the medium. During the day she had read the article of Investigator, wherein she is changed with nimble fingered dexterity, legerdemain and the perpetration of a transparent fraud with surreptitious. ly obtaining the signs, tokens, grips and work of several secret orders (how very probable) ancfa call upon the press and the public to frown down mid denounce the practice of such deceptive acts, .Such charges and anathemas wonld not set verv comfortably on older heads nn:ch less upon this young and sensitive orphan girl, who-e only offeuce con-ists hi her putting herself into the hands of the

Angel world as an instrument through whom they are enabled to offer new and moresatisfaotory proofs that the accounts given in the Bible of spirit presence and Angel visitants, without which that book

The ink in the medium's hand was shown

011

the materialized hand, from

which it was conveyed to the mouth piece of the whistle. The whole form being materialized, the ink was transfered from the whistle to the materialized lips, and from thence, as just, explained, disolved back to the lips of the medium.

For the truth of this view of the subjeet wc challenge investigation. Tiuth cannot be crushed permanently to earth, and under till circumstances worthy of our most careful search. As this suggestion is offered in good faith, let there be a committee chosen of Gentlemen and Ladies, to consist of an equal number of spiritualists and skeptics—not from such as take sides only with a view to victory, who were never known to yield a point as Santa Anna said of the Indiana Boys in blue, "dont know when they are whipped," but those who love truth, wherever founil however damaging it may be to long cherished and popular opinions. The material for such an investigation is at home, and the people are ready for instruction upon these scientific questions.

A sense of duty impels us to make the following disclosures regarding the "wonderful child?' who (according to coramn-'nications-priblished in the papers of an adjoining city, as well a.s brief and mysterious allusions in oilr own papers) has caused such a marvel!"'is sensation among-the Spiritualists, con' lining their faith, tiprooting and tossing the winds the usual logic of the skeptics, shaking orthodox believers from their "sure foundation" eclipsing the far-famed

Davenport ,i)oy$ and revolutionizing things generally. Wc heard "of her, and "went for to see,"'to satisfy curiosity, for such manifestations1 were a novelty, to us, and also to thoroughly investigate the matter in order to establish its truth or falsity in our own mind. slender girl of 15 or 1(5 years, neatly rc^ed in a plain br ring ft linen collar fastened by a small pin, to which was suspended a gold chain, bright prominent eyes, well shaped nose and mouth, and a pleasant smile hair brushed back and hanging loose about the neck a plain gold ring upon the third finger of1 the left hand ear-rings lasting gaiters and white stockings. This Ls the Medium..

A plain wooden structure resembling a very cheap wardrobe, about' seven feet high, fiv.e feet wide? and two and a half feet deep, elevated from the floor ten inches'ujwiTtfessels7 with clcar space between it -and' the ,walls and ceiling,'two doors in front—one twice as large as the other—each of them secured in the inside by a small bolt which shoots back of an upright that separates the door's A seat extends across the left end, at the back of which is fastened a wooden strip perforated with .half-inch boles a shelf at the same height is placed against the back car the right end a carpet is on the oor a rug is on the seat for a cushion on the shelf arc seen two quarter-inch cotton ropes about six feet in length a drum, tambourine, and several other musical instruments, including three or four bells. I11 the center of the large door, at the height of five feet, is a diamond shaped orifice on the inside of the door is tacked piece of black cotton velvet, which forms it curtain to the opening. Thix is the Cabinet.

Now for the manifestations. The medium occupies the seat the doors close click go the bolts, and down goes the gas— (a dim light is one of the essential condition*.) Very soon the sound of a rope is heard as it is rapidly drawn through the holes in the strip at the back of the seat moment of silence, the bolts fly back, up goes the gas, and there sits the girl very composedly, with her hands tightly Lied behind her the committee make an xamination and report that there arc iglit hard knots whereupon they proceed to tie her still more securely, and leave" her, satisfied in their own minds that she "can't get away." The doors are again closed, and immediately bolted

the outside, then drops to the floor in sight of the audience a hand is distinctly isiblc, a left hand, on the third finger of ichich is a plain gnld ring. A coincidence, to say the least!

Almost instantly the bolt is thrown back, the doors opened and the girl is calmly occupying the seat with her hands firmlv tied behind her. The Committee report that she is secured just as they left her, prior to the wonderful manifestations.

Now comes the great sack demonstration. The article is composed of two breadths of dark calico about six feet in length, stitched together at the selvage edges, open at the ends, with drawing tapes at both extremities. It is examined thoroughly inside and out the sewing is pronounced all right—there are no openings except at the ends, and the singular garment is drawn over the form of the medium. The committee-men draw the tapes a caput and pedal, tie them in bow-knots and seal the knots. Now let us see her get out of the bag without breaking the seals. The doors are again closed and in a very short time arc open the ropes which were on the shelf have disappeared! Where are they? I lie Committee search the ward-robe—they are gone! Some one suggests that the hands of the medium shall be felt through the sack. This is done, when lo! her hands arc tightly tied behind her back. Again, the doors are closed and there arc no manifestations for nearly ten niinulr.and on opening the doors once more, the girl is sitting with untied hands, and the sack is lying upon the shell' neatly rolled up. The Committee examine it thoroughly and pronounce, it whole and the seals unbroken. This is a "poser" to the unbelievers, and the great "test"' in the present series of manifestations.

Before advaucing our theories concerning what we have related, we will describe ihe concluding act in the performance- of the evening. The Committee proceeded to tic her securely, audit did seem as though she could not possibly untie herself. One of the committee was provided with some printer's ink, and while making the final examination of the knot, lie adroitly rubbed some of it on the palm of her left hand and in closing the door lie smeared a portion on the knob of the |j0ll—Very soon the instruments were heard giving forth very unmusical sounds then a hand appeared and was withdraw

A few more demonstrations and (lie doors were fluxgopen and the girl was on the scat, tied firm by ihe strip a' her back. But what is the m:nter with her mouth? four or five black spots

remark, and the Committee upon examination report ttat it is printer's ink 1— Farther search fin 1' it oil the bolt and on, the mouth .^icce JJ -the ichulkl It was a moment of surprise and humiliation—the exposure was so unmistakable, and the deception was so palpable that a feeling of pity pervaded the minds of those who were present for the child who had been practising such nn imposture. But the •'forces" soon came- to her rescue. She was placed in an abnormal condition, and a very illiterate spirit, professedly speaking through her mediumship, attempted an explanation of the last phenomenon by saying that in materializing the hands any mark or stain that Is on the hands of the medium will he transferred to the spirit baud, (tiuprv.) How did the ink get on the luedium's.mouih?

s(

the bolt by taking tho knob in her mouth. No attempt was made to explain this feature, nor did the medium condescend to enlighten the audience on the point involved in the following questions, propounded by one of the committee. "Do spirits materialize from animate or

inanimate objects?" Answer. "From animate objects for there must be vitality to draw from.

Question. "You cannot materialize from wood or iron or other inanimate substances. How then can you operate upon printers ink?"

No answer followed this '"leader," and the voice of the medium ran into a torrent of ungrammatical invective, evincing great discomfiture on her part. A half hour was consumed a rapid discussion of some phesis of socalled spiritual development, mingled with strained logic and filtered commonplaces underneath all a keen and stinging sense of exposure, which broke forth in personalities at very short intervals. And thus ended the programme for the evening, with ihe promise that she would permit further "tests" at a future entertainment.

The medium asked whether intelligent men wonld allow what had transpired, (even admitting that the expose proved a humbug,) so to prejudice their views as to overbalance the visible and tangible demonstrations that had been given Could they explain the great increase in the weight of the girl, when successively lifted from the floor? Could they explain how she became acquainted with the secrets of the Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodge rooms—their signs, grips, &c?

Now we have the wonderful array before us—the tied hands—the hands at the windows—the sealed sack and the ropes the dead-weight and the mystic secrets of 1 lie Fraternities. Let us lay them, one by one, upon the shelf. The girl's dexterity in untying and tying "comnionensc" knots, is indeed wonderful. She c.tn slip her left hand in a twinkling from any ordinary knot, and replace it again as quickly. When released from the rope it can easily be shown at the opening and

110

one has yet scon a right hand appear. There are knots, however, that she will not attempt to untie, and these are denominated "tom-foolery knots," so that it is unallowable to secure her in such a way that she cannot possibly accomplish her own release. While the left hand is free, asjust described, it is an easy matter to "upset things generally" inside of the cabinct. This will be conceded without going into detail.

The sealed sack trick ran be performed by any clever artist in that line of businesfi. The drawing string at the throat is sufficiently loose to admit of the passage of a finger from the inside of the sack this finger is ready to hook upon the rope, which, having been grasped by the other hand, with the intervening calico also in the hand, is passed up to the head, the rope is then easily drawn inside, and can be adjusted at pleasure,by tying the hands or otherwise. The unbroken seals do not seem wonderful in the light of this explanation. The upper seal is broken by the untying of the bow-knot by the medium, enlarging the opening, and slipping the sack from her person. This can be accomplished ill a minute or two. now are the other five or six minutes occupied? The upper opening is carefuliv adjusted by the drawing-string to its original size when about the neck of the medium, a bowknot is tied, and by the use of heat and wax the Seal is again intact. The garment is rolled up and placed

and this miracle is ready to be launched upon the audience. Again, her weight is undoubtedly increased—at all events it takes increased exertion to lift her the second or third attempt. When first lifted, she stands naturally, her lungs fully jnflate.d, aud her weight occasions

surprise. Her entire

system is then relaxed, the lungs emptied of air, and it is morodifficult to raise her. There are undoubtedly, In addition to the above, p-ychologica! -causes for the degree of apparent weight. Sometimes strong men cannot lift her as easily as boys do. Yet this is not wonderful, for wc are all famliar with the freaks of imagination witnessed upon the platform when a Professor of Psychology is giving an entertainment. We will admit that it is some natural force, imperfectly understood, but which will be fully explained by and bv. It is simply absurd to attribute the phenomenon to spiritual agency.

Lastly, the signs of the secret orders claim attention. How she became possessed of them we do not know that they have been witnessed or overheard by her must be admitted, for we do not suppose they were intentionally communicated to her by any member of said Orders. She has undoubtedly become acquainted with them by sonic inexplicable human ageney which she is not disposed to disclose to the public at present.

Here rests the ca-e as far as prosecuted to this date. We will freely concede that this young girl is wonderfully expert in her manipula'ions. In all probability her equal in nimblc-flngercd dexterity cannot be duplicated a do-en times in the entire republic, and were she to use her talent in the line of legitimate legerdemain she would certainly find ii a profitable avocation. But when a person deliberately commits such a transparent fraud as we have described solemply asserting that it is all accomplished by extraneous causes, then it becomes the duty of the pres.«, and all right-minded and light-hearted persons to denounce the means that arc thrus.ing such impositions upon the credulous portion of the community. The practiser of such arts should feel the crushing weight of public sentiment, and pause in such a demoralizing career.

There are candid inquirers among Spiritualists—men who are above all suspicion of insincerity, and who value their honor more than their lives. Such a man made the cabi-1 net which (lias been descri declared emphatically that

The resumption of specie payment lias nothing to do with Boots and Shoes. "The influence of Boots upon the mind is very different from that of any other garment. A man may have a shocking bad hat, but he forgets it his coat may be threadbare, but his mind is not directed toward it? hilt we defy a man to stand upright in a pair of boots with woi n-down heels, and we believe it is just difncult to feel upright in them. A sense of meanness possesses him lie feels that everyLodv is noticing them. He cannot look people straight in the face and feel upon the square with them, lie feels the weakness of his foundation, and he mistrusts the character of the superstructure that they support, however, ini-po-ung in other respect. A man sliabbv in the Boots sometimes Hatters himself that he carries ofl' attention from them by the use of a splendid necktie but this is a delusion and a snare. The Boots are the key of the position, and we feel sure that no man ought to undertake anv ^erion- matter, unless lie stiuids up in a good, stout pair of Boots."
