FOR INSTANCE TAKE
OUR OPERATIONS FOR LAST WEEK.


On Monday week the mammoth wholesale dry
goods house, No. 314, Broadway, N. Y, took
fire in the third story. The whole house was
deluged in water, destroying thousands of dol
lars worth of goods, in mercantile view, but
not damaging them in the least as far as actual
wear is concerned. The entire stock, embracing
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods
was bought by our wholesale house, at less than
one-half their real value, and at handsome
profit of 70 per cent. we can then offer them at
half the wholesale prices. This is very easy to
understand, and the most simple minded can
readily comprehend the wonderful advantages
which we every day prove to you we possess
Hence, if we offer Doeskin Jeans at 335 cents
which the manufacturer asks SIXTY cents for
before the goods have to pay dozen or more
profts-yoW can readily understand how aoe get
them.
Heavy Cottonades at 16s cents, worth 35c.,
which are very cheap.
A lot of lawns, in mourning and colors at Is
to zoe, worth Is to 373 cents.
Where can you get such hose at 121c as we
give you; Mems socks at 127 cents
Children's hose at 10, 123 to Is worth Is cts.
SWISS NAINSOOK,
PLAID MUSLINS,
JACKONET CAMBRIA,
WHITE BERAGE
AND PIQUES,
at Prices which make them sell at the rates of
RAILROAD SPEED.
We open this campaign in earnest and are de-
termined through all opposition to add new lus-
ire to our crown of Glory, to be in the future as
we have been in the past

Be a Man.

The following good advice is clipped from an
excellent little paper called the Worksng Man
''Foolish spending is the father of poverty.
Do not be ashamed of hard work. Work for
the best salary or wages you can get, but work
for half price rather than be idle. Be your own
master, and do not let society or fashion swat
low up your individuality coat and boots.
DO not eat up or wear out all that you can earn.
Compel your selfish body to spare something
for profits saved. Be stingy to your own ap-
petite, but merciful to others necessities. Help
others and ask no help for yourselves See
that you are proud, too. Let your pride be of
the right kind. Be too proud to be law: too
proud to give up without conquering every diff
hcuity; too proud to wear coat you cannot
afford to buy too proud to be in company that
you cannot keep up with in expenses too proud
to be stingy.

THE WASHINGTON TREATY The
''Peace Society" at their recent meet
ing in London, resolved that the diff
culties which have arisen in connection
with the Washington Treaty, star from
discrediting the general principle of in
ternational arbitration, only furnish an
argument the more in favor of that sys-
tenn of preconcerted arbitration for
which the friends of peace have always
contended, and which would provide for
referring misunderstanding as soon as
they arise to impartial adjudication, be-
fore the original difference has been
complicated by diplomatic controversy
and popular excitement. This meeting
therefore hopes that the proposal invit-
ing the British Government to enter in
to negotiations with other civilized gov
ernments, with view to the establish
ment of general and permanent system
of arbitration, viii more than ever en-
list the sympathy and support of the
British people"

GENERAL GRANTS LETTER. What
ever may be the opinion of individuals
as to the propriety of Gen. Grants re-
nomination and reelection, all will cor
daily agree, with him, in the desire ex-
pressed in his letter of acceptance, pub
lished in another column, that we may
have a country at peace within its own
border, at peace with outside nations,
with credit at home and abroad, and
without embarrassing questions to
threaten its future prosperity. And
that there may be speedy healing of
all bitterness of feeling between sec
tions, parties, or races of citizens, and
the time when the title of citizen carries
with it all the protection and privileges
to the humblest, that it does to the most
exalted.

National Union Republican NOm-
The Non,inations.

The responsei from all sections of the
country, to the nominations OF Grant
and Wilson, is most cheering and indi-
Gates, beyond all cavil, that the wishes
of the people both north and south, has
been respected and satisfied. The brief
enthusiasm among those who had been
for years readers of the Irib1t1ae, which
greeted the nomination of Mr.. Greeley is
FAST dying out, and his real position as
an opponent of the loyal Republican
rarity and an humble bidder for Demo-
cratic votes-being dependent almost, if
not entirely, on the support of the party
which he has always professed to abhor
and abuse-mal<es it apparent to all that
the great mass of patriotic Union loving
citizens desire continuation of the
policy of the present administration.
The people, as well as the soldiers,
who stood firmly by Lincoln during the
dark hours and days of the rebellion,
watching the tolls, the struggles and tri-
urnphs of our brave army, under Its gal
1dUJ ltuilcI, pIclut3 NV
that he shall have another presidential
term, in which to complete the work OF
peace to which he was called four years
ago, as he completed at Appomatox the
victory over secession and rebellion. On
all hands, in all sections of the country,
by the press and the people, the nomi-
nations are hailed with appreciation and
applause.
But one thing is now waited for. The
discordant Democracy must name their
candidate 1t makes little little differ
ence whether they conclude to stake it
straight" or mix it with a little ''Liberal-
ism, as it is called. From present APP
pearances, it is certain that Grant and
Wilson will receive the largest vote cast
for any candidates within the last thirty
years. The Republicans are united,
their ranks are closed up, and their
numbers are being daily increased by a
large class of their former opponents
who value principles more than men.
Philadelphia had the honor of naming
the next President and Vice-Presidcnt
of the United States.

PRcGREss OF THE MEXICAN REvoLU-
TIoNIsTs. According to special dis
patch to the New York Herald, from
Nlatamoras, in the defeat of the Juarist
General Corella, at Monterey, his army
was killed, wounded, captured and scat
tered, and he lost everything, including
his trains, artillery and money chest,
with its ten thousand dollars in cash. In
consequence of this disaster at Monterey
the Juarista forces along the border line
of the Rio Grande down to Matamoras
are not only in great state of trepid-
alton, but in position Of great danger.
Trevino and Quiroga, the revolutionary
generals, encouraged by their late sue
cesses, and materially strengthened by
their capture of small arms, artillery,
provisions and money, are pushing back
again towards the river, and from pres
ent appearances the chances for their
capture and occupation of Matamoras
and the whole of North Eastern Mexico,
from the mountains of Monterey, are
very good. But as nothing in modern
warfare is more uncertain than the con-
flicts of these fighting factions of Mexico,
we shall not be surprised if the next
news from the Rio Grande shall be that
of crushing defeat for few days of
Quiroga and Trevino.
