street. A store that has no superior in tb'
whole South, and rarely In the North, for it
magnificent dimensions, while its array o
fabrics is admirable. We have particular
interest in the house, remembering SO vel!
it's founder, the late Abraham Levy, ar
Israelite without guile, and q man with {
| heart open as day to charity, and who Wen
| to the grave with the blessings of the com
munity. The second generation now main
| tains the establishment, and not only con
tinue its wellearned fame, but add i'm
mensely to the amount of its business and
the enterprise of the house Of Levy.
In all the branches of the dry goods trade
here may be found the various grades and
the superb fabrics which the wonderful ge'
MUS of the age works and fashions for the
enchantment of men, but more particularly
ladies! Look at the LEvys' catalogue. Tho
products of all countries seem to be brought
into requisition to make out its spendorS.
We can only refer to the gorgeous list. 1t
will more than do for Christmas.
CARDozo, FoURoUREAN & Co.-What a
maze we have in going through the
magnificent, fashionable stores of this
city Here is one Of superb attrac-
tions, elegant stocks, tastefully display ed
and presented and sold with remark
able cotnplaisance and accommodation.
They say they have "a large stock of fancy
goods suitable to the approaching holidays"
and they speak truly. For all reasonable and
fashionable articles, it should 60 hard if the
most fastidious of the most charming pur-
chasers shall not be suited.
SYCLE BROTHERS, 429 Broad street. Rich
supplies of dry goods that almost perplex
the purchaser as to what he or she shall buy.

BosoHEN & Son, Nos. 500 and 5l1 Broad
street. Here We ind boots and shoes, trunks
and valises, in great variety. Every shoe
can find fit, and every one may find trunk
to suit. The lot OF children's fancy trunks
is very fine. 1t is needless to say that g
iaunty, shining shoe is absolutely necessary on
Christmas morning. Boschen & Son can
furnish the shoe that comes up to the speci-
fication. Shoes for tiny feet, and pretty
trunks for keeping safe Juvenile properties,
are very nice presents for the season, and
these, too, the same place will readily sup
D. COLUMBUS, 521 Broad street. Notwitb-
standing the ruthless attempt of Goodrich
to rob The Columbus family of the renoWn
due to the achievements Of their ancestor,
we find our friend Columbus neither pul
down nor set up. He pursues the even te'
nor of his way conscious that nobody car
impair his standing as an experienced artist
and fair-deaIing man. One look at him as
sured us; and we say down with Goodrich
long live and prosper the Columbus family
Columbus makes superb cakes, and he car
supply fruits and nuts and toys enough tt
supply everybody, and he keeps the best a:
everybody knows who has dealt with him
He is an honor to an illustrious namesake. M
Colum bus that ever preceded him excel!et
him in the successful and satisfactory per
formance of all he undertakes to do. w
imagine there can be no higher commenda
| ton.
GEORGE ScHQS, corner Of Main and Ele
yenth streets. This is the store where sod

summer season, and now in winter it sup
plies people with the divine consolation 0
cigars, pipes, and smoking and chewing TO
bacco. To these We may add that. ScE9l
keeps every description Of smokers equip
ments. The Rev. Spurgeon said cigar wa
thing to thank God for, and Schen ha
that very article. We profoundly belIey
| in the divinity OF the joys from tobacco
INIT as we never took but one chew an
never smoked but one-fifth Of cigar, ou
thanks in that direction are somewhat limit
| cd. hut we save them for SchGn's soda
wafer. BE is good fellow, and deserves t
have his store reduced to smoke with It'll
ceremony.
