MIR. BEEcuER,s DISCOURSE.

NO one dies whose death Is not momentous.
Of all who have passed away not one has gone,
for 4 long time, who will curry with him SO much
reverence, so much honor, much devotion, the
deceased Who is this lnan who receives all these
civic lonors? y? Was he one Of those great princes
of wealth! Was he one of great military renown?
No! And yet here are men from every walk In lile
Here Is our Chief Magistrate; here are most promi-
nent citizens from all parts Of the country gathered
around the bier OF this man, who Is now Lo more.
Here esee that citicism Is disarmed OF her darts
A little time ago and mems political passions were
all aroused and we differ much In politics ever
but here lies before Us this man, who, but brief
time ago, was great leader IN tue land. And why
do men OF all parties gather here in reve-
renee around his remains! 1t is because the
man is greater than the politician. Here to day
between the two oceans there Is scarcely man
or child who has not felt the benefcent Influence OF
the character of Horace Greeley. This man gave
the strength Of his life to education. TO humanity,
and especially 10 the poor, who could little help
themselves. He had great heart that longed for
sympathy. Though he may not be remembered by
those memories which carry other mems names
down, ne Will be remembered throughout this iand
for those great qualities OF mind and heart w.nch
make his character commensurate, as IL were. Win
the genius of this great kepublic Ills influence mas
gone out TO teach nObler manhood to the mechanic,
the laborer, and the farmer. What more can we
say in eulDgy Of the character OF this lHustrlous
dead? Alas, alas, he through long and not 1ntem-
pestu0us voyage has reached the snore: HOW
blessed are the dead that die IN the Lord may Goo
grant that, In the solepnity OF these thoughts IN
which we have gathered here, IT may be our nappy
lot tnat when we die angels shall open the gates aid
receive us into the glory Of the Lord"

WEDDING CAKEs.-The upward ten
dency in the matrimonial market has
stimulated Charley Behler to exceed
even his former successful efforts in
building handsome cakes. He has now
on hand some of the noblest specimens
Of that species of architecture that have
ever been exhibited in this city. The
prospect Of obtaining an interest in the
ownership of one OF those magnificent
wedding cakes ought to be sufficient to
reconcile almost anybody to the trouble
Of getting married, and il any one OF
our tender hearted young men could
only induce his Mary Ann Eliza to take

Owens To-NIGHT.-To night the in
comparable actor John E. Owens, with
his fine dramatic company, will present
the great comedies of Everybody's
Friend and the Peoples Lawyer,
in which Mr.. Owens will sustain the
characters of Major Wellington de
Boots and Scion Single. These i'm
presentations are entirely dissimilar and
are sustained by the artist in such a
manner as to make them stand out per.
feet and complete pictures. Mr.. Owens
is without rival in his line. We have
seen him at the Gsiety Theatre in New
Orleans, in New York and in Philadel'
phia, and speak whereof we know. The
company he has selected to support
him is an excellent one, and we can
promise all who attend tonight such
an entertainment as has never been wit
messed before in Wheeling. Seats may
be procured to-day at She!b's Music
Store.

TIE GREAT MILLINERY OPENING
The opening of the fall fashions in
millinery goods at VIM. Bacharach's
Wholesale and retail millinery establish
ment, No. 100 Main street, was largely
attended by the ladies Of the city, yea
teriay. who are au tait in matters oftbis
kind. They we're loud in their expires"
sions OF admiration Of the new styles,
which include many very novel and
beautiful shapes, rich effects in TRIM
ming and dressiness in general appear
ance. Some of the bonnets, or rather
hslf.hats-for the full bonnet shape Is
not the style this winter-are OF the
new color, sage green and are trimmed
to match. Others are trimmed with
the new marine green, and other novel
shades.
Among the new shapes we notice the
Lucca, a very handsome one; the Ida
Greeley, a dashing hat for young
lady; the Nellie Grant, also dashing
hat; the Arab, one of the newest and
most becoming styles; the Estelle,
Alice and Norwood, all very quiet,
handsome shapes; La Militare, an odd
shape, calculated to give heighth and
dignity to the appearance The favorite
Sailor shape is still worn. But we
could not enumerate all these new and
tasty designs short of q newspaper page.
We must therefore urge our lady read
ers to call at Bachsrach's emporium
and see the beautiful display for them
selves.
Mr.. Bacharach has also on exhibi-
ton some of the finest French artlfi-
Gals we ever saw. They are perfectly
lovely and 80 very closely do they imi-
tate nature that one is almost tempted
to believe that they exhale the fra
GRANGE of the natural flowers. The at
tention of jobbers is particularly invited
to this magnificent stock Of artificlals,
as we'll as to the stock Of felt, straw aud
velvet ribbon., cut ve.vets, velveteens'
ribbons, trimmings, laces and the like, as
they can find no more elegant or exten.
siye assortment this side OF New York.
The stock Of zephyr worsteds is extra
ordinarily large and cannot be matched
either in extent or beauty in the city OF
Wheeling.
To the ladies all, we say so to day
and see the styles for yourselves. Courte'
GUS and accommodating saleswomen will
show YOU over the establishment, and
you will see many beautiful creations
Of the artists who prepare them. We
do not believe that any house in New
York can show you handsomer or
cheaper hats, bonnets, feathers, flowers,
&c. than you can see at this opening.
Go to-day, ladies, by all means.
