In al degrees OF sorrow. half and whole, or
deep mourning, all Of the finest quality. The
rush OF the crowd and the variety Of the goods
bewildered our person Of taste 70 such a degree
that a critical examination was out Of the
question. There was abundance OF mourning,
and variety enough 20 suit the whole city for
LINENS.
Adjoining the mourning goods. the display
Of house furnishing linens was very hne in
deed. Beautiful tablecloJhs Of the finest tex
ture, and g~listening almost - silk, were there,
With all taeir ~adJuncts Of napkins, towels,
nne linen sheetings, and everything requisite
70 the complete furnishing Of any drst-class
establishment IN the land.
FURs.
The fur department is replete with every
thing that 10 handsome. desirable and service
able. The following furs may be found in
that stock: Hudson Bay lynx, seal, sealskin
sets, mink, black martin, ermine, Russian ga
bic, etc. etc, and In all sizes, for ladies',
misses and children. The arrangement or
this department was such as 70 make an I'M

those polar treasures were displayed.
SHAWLS.
Between tho linen aud fur departments. the
space was filled with shawls, displayed to
great advantage. In shawis there IS an end
less variety. We viii mention a few. The

the price Of which Is one thousand dollars.
Closely allied 10 shawls come ladies scarfs,
IN AL shades and widths. The Reversible OF
toman and Rainbow are beautiful articles OF
dress. They are both snowy and graceful.
CLOAKs.
Passing from the consideration Of shawls,
one naturally thinks Of cIoaks. The
cloak department IN the great dry goods
emporium Of B. LOwensiein, al the corner
or Main and jefferson streets, is an
immense affair. Il is located in an apartment
entered from where the display Of furs was
made. During the night this splendid apart

70 a few prominent features. We were struck
TIE VELVET CLOAKs,
Among them a velvet cloak, a half-ntung
sacque, with pockets, trimmed in handsome
gros grain ribbon bows, with bugle passemen-
tho and in handsome guipure lace and fringe.
