G3 Buf all such orders must be accompanied by the money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are kept with mail subscriptions. ey a Although his life was so little interwoven with that of the American public, considered a# a political body, that the news of his death willsend no shock through the country, yet the usefulness of such a career as Allen Thorn- dyke Rice's cannot be questioned, Independ- ently rich, of good birth and antecedents, he did not content himself with spending his in- come on high living, or in the gratification of any purely selfish taste, but in the exercise of the talents with which nature had endowed him. His purchase of the North American Keview when it was made for and read by a mere handful of New England scholars, was regarded by many of his friends as a foolhardy investment; but his editorial instinct had pointed to a plan for popularizing the old and dignified period- ical and giving it a constituency unbounded by sectional. partisan, or scholastic lines, He made it everybody's review, end for the most part conducted it with strict fidelity to the principles which he had laid down for its gov- ernment, in spite of manifold temptations to step aside. It cost him time and money, and brought down upon his head, now and then, a storm of criticism; but he accomplished his end, and his success was the sharpest possible retort upon the carpings of those who had tried to discourage him at the outset. Mr. Rice was the inventor of the modern sympo- sium form of debate in print, and by its use contrived to bring before the people the best ideas of the most eminent thinkers on the serious topics of the day. His positive achieve- ments as an editor, therefore, not less than the example he set of enterprise and practical labor to other young men with more money than enough to supply their wants, are worthy of commemoration. SS The license court which has jurisdiction in Philadelphia has just finished its labors tor this year. It has followed the example of the Pitts- burg court in decreasing the number of licenses granted, but either because it has not applied so stringent a rule as the latter court. or because the Philadelphia liquor sellers have behaved better during the past year than those of Pitts- barg, the reduction in the number of licenses is not so great. The number of retail dealers is decreased by 140, and of wholesale dealers by 33, only 58 per cent of the latter class of appli- cants being successful. As in the case of the action of the Pittsburg court, the decisions do uot appear to be flexible, or merely prelimi- nary in their nature, intended to be reverzed | in favor of applicants when the proper induce- ments shall be presented. but seem, so far this court is concerned, to be final. The man- ner in which the license law is enforced ap- pears to satisfy public opinion in Philadelphia. It will be profitable for the people of every other city with a substantially similar system to note carefully the course pursued by the licensing bodies as they successively act and the effect of their action, with the purpose of learning what it will be wise and practicable to attempt under this system at home. A high license system, intelligently, honestly and energeticaliy applied, can. in our large cities, accomplish the greatest practical results for temperance and good order. Concerning the restraining influence of the system upon liquor sellers, the Philadelphia Press says: The whole influence of this license court ordeal is disciplinary and educational. Those who allowed their saloons to become scenes of riot and disorder, or who had a suspiciously large number of back door visitors on Sunday, or who on any account brought themselves under grave suspicion which they failed to clear away. were refused a license. All learned that a reputation has a money value, and most of them will guard zealously that reputa- tion during the coming year, knowing that it will serve them better than the most eloquent and expensive counsel when they again come for judgment before the license court. a Butler says that Porter ran away at New Or- leans; a friend of Porter says that Butler ran away at Ft. Fisher; and Gen. Wolseley of Eng- land says in substance that Jefferson Davis did not manage the affairs of the southern confed- eracy as weil as he (Wolseley) could have man- aged them. These serious charges, if accepted as true, point to the future discovery that the officers of the Union army and navy were all cowards, and the southern leaders imbeciles, and cause one to wonder how it was possible for either of the combatants in the war of the rebellion to ever win a victory. ———— The mutterings of discontent in the London | Times directory over the performances of that | paper in the Parnell case are now said to be taking concrete shape. There is talk of some | of the other proprietors of the paper making an effort through the courts to hold Mr. Wal- ter personally responsible in damages for the | mismanagement of the whole nahappy bu ness. Mr. Walter will presently wish that he | had put into the editorial chair a young man who knew enough to inquire into the history of an important manuscript before accepting it as genuine. ——— The coffin trust is making Canada uneasy. It is, however, the one from whose gripe it is actually easiest to escape. The example set by the late David G. Croly, of New York, in his | request that his friends bury him simply in a bed of fragrant evergreen boughs, has drawn forth much commendation. A coffin is a neces- sity only to those who are governed by con- ventional prejudices. Others may use it from WE'RE LOADED WITH REMNANTS.

Such a reduction in price makes you credulous and rigutly demands an explanation, Here itis: Silk Gloves are growing in demand and the sale of Kid Gloves must be forced, be- cause next fall we open a new stock, The gloves now advertised will not be tried on unless the reular price is paid, and we may not have just the shade and style you would prefer. That's the worst we can write of our $1.68 Kid Gloves for 8c. These cloves have sold well at $1.68 a pair, and, like all “Palais Royal” Kid Gloves, have been trie@ on and warranted, and, though thousands of pairs have boen sold, less than one dozen have been returned.
