Many persons suppose, without investi eating.
that they can buy cheaper on 9TH street, in small

Five first class establishment. This IL entirely a

on moments reflection, or, what is great de al
better, by q personal ex animation. 1t stands to
reason that SINGLE FIRM, having q COMPLETE
STOCK of everything In their line, with an ExPK-
RlENCE OF MANY YEARS, BUYING LARGELY in the
CHEAPEST MARKETS, and doing a handsome bust
ness of $500 900 PER YEAR, can sell goods at Fss
PROFIT, and of course GREAT DEAL LOWER, than
they can possibly be sold by ten different firms
whose stocks are incomplete, who buy in small lots
and consequently at higher prices, and whs must
pay from their dirded profits the confined erpeHs.
Of separate business stands and fifteen or trsntu

MRS KEMRLE,S READINGS.

The long promised Readings from Shake
speare by Mrs. Kemble will be given next week
at Steinway Hall. They will take place In the
following order: On Monday evening, March
2, Corolanus on Tuesday evening, March 3,
Midsummer Nights Dream; on Friday even
ing, March 6, The Tempest; on Saturday morn
ing, March Z, King Lear The Evening Read
ings will begin precisely at 8 o'clock. The
Reading on Saturday will begin at o'clock, p.
m. The sale of tickets for the four Readings
will begin at Steinway Hall this morning at
o'clock. The price of tickets for the course,
with reserved seats, is s., and the agent as
sures us that no more tickets will be sold than
the actual number of seats in the Hall. He
also makes the same request for Mrs. Kemble
that Mr.. Dolby made for Mr.. Dickens-that the
audience will be seated and in order before the
beginning of the Reading
1t ought to be, and doubtless is, superfluous,
to inform the public that Mrs. Kemble's Read
ings whether considered as elOcutiOn or inter-
probation, are very far superior to the Readings
of any other living person. She has the finest
presence, the most powerful and the sweetest
voice, and mind the keenest and most
thoroughly trained of all the many readers
who have appeared before our public. Those
deepest read in Shakespeare know best how
to value the light she throws upon scenes and
characters with which they are familiar; those
who know little of Shakespeare can never have
Mrs. Kemble's presence without feeling drawn
to closer study of the man of men. Ongi-
nally famous actress who took the world by
storm at seventeen, she abandoned the stage be-
Cause of natural distaste for il but, her train
ing and experience on the boards were put to a
higher use when she began the Readings
from Shakespeare, which gave her q

THE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDING.

There are those in positions to obtain anthem
tic information who hold that the impeachment
measure will be sustained in the Senate with
equal unanimity as in the House. But such
opinions must be taken with allowance for the
heat and ardor of the situation. good deal
depends on the character of the articles of i'm
peachment. A verdict of guilty can be more
certainly counted upon on a full review OF
the Presidents official conduct, beginning with
his great original misdemeanor than if the
prosecution proceeds on his last offense merely;
but the proceeding against him on single
count is advocated with view of making the
trial short We believe it would be better to
make it sure. Many still hold that the true
way of proceeding is for Congress to arrest the
President, suspend his functions, and try him
for all his high crimes and misdemeanors at
leisure. 1t seems an inadequate treatment
of so important subject TO slur 1t
over by trial on a single ISSUE and that, ex-
cept in its animus, a comparatively unimportant
one; and it may prove fatal mistake. But IN
view of such advice as was given in the House
on Monday by Judge Woodward of Pennsyl-
vania it may prove a still more positive error if
Congress does not put all such revolutionary
suggestions as his under their feet by rendering
their realization impossible. There are times
when boldness, and even audacity, is prudence.
The peace of the country should be preserved
at all hazards. A prompt concurrence OF
the Executive and Legislative departments
would put all revolutionary designs to flight
and give instant tranquility to the country,
whatever aspect the impeachment trial might
assume, or however protracted its duration.
A great and vital proceeding like this should
be treated in a broad and statesmanhke man
ner, and we may hope it will be- There should
be, during the proceedings at least, no room
left for doubt whether it was the criminal or
the judges who were on trial. If Congress
deals with the preliminaries of this great pro-
ceeding properly, as we must presume it will,
its results cannot be otherwise than healthful
and tran quilting.
