INTERESTING TO THE LITTLE
- ONES,
AN ABUN DANCE OF PRESENTS IN STORE
FOR THEM.

AN ABUNDANCE OF PRESENTS IN STORE
FOR THEM.
The children Of Wilmington and in fact
the whole Peninsula will be pleased to learn
that Adams & Bro, sos Market street,
have procured larger stock Of toys than
ever before for their customers. Many
months before the toys are needed they send
their orders to Germany and the goods are
shipped direct to them, the boxes never
being opened until they arrive here. In
buying from first hands, of course
they get their goods much cheaper
than if they bought from jobbers
and are thus enabled to sell at as
low prices as any one in this country, and
II is Just the same with the domestic goods.
They deal directly with the manufacturer,
and mark the goods SO low, that there is
but small profit on them.
This season their large store, the third
story Of Ferris g. Garrett's building, and
their cellar is literally packed with every
thing in the toy line, from cent chair to a
$25 doll. It is really interesting to older
people to take look into the third story Of
their building and see the variety of articles
made to please the fancy of children, rich
and poor.
For those who are really so poor that they
only have cent to spend, they can find
over 225 different articles to select from.
Then they have two large stands, besides a
number of shelves, filled with what they
call "Bellows Goods" and in this lot they
have Farms with moveable animals for 25
cents, bird cages, all kinds of animals,
musical toys, Kriss Kringle, horses, don
keys, ,and fifty other things. The man swal-
lowing himself is quite novelty, and the
hair-covered animals, with movable heads,
are worth all they ask for them.
In the puzzle and game line they have
,added several new articles among them being
the Pilgrims Progress, steeple chase, Life's
mishaps, Every Interestingly, Centennalia, q
patriotic young American History, corn and
beans, cheap edition of Parcheesi, dissect-
ing pictures, all kinds of blocks, picture
books, and in fact as great variety as any
= one could wish to select from. ..-..
It would simply be impossible to enume-
rate half the articles they have on hand,
but their mechanical toys, china goods, and
their immense stock of dolls, from the penny
china infant to the S25 little girl, are worth
looking at, and we think our citizens can
get suited at Adams & Bro, as well as in
: Philadelphia.

Reconciliation RepudiateI.

The solid men OF Virginia are making a
stout fight against the policy of population,
which had a certain unpleasant foothold In
the last legislature of that state. and which
promises to show its ugly face again, If not
resolUtely crushed by the expression OF an
overpowering public reprobation. IL is sat
1sfactory TO see that at a large meeting held
at Charlottesville, on Monday, 10 consider
whether or not the state of Virginia should
repudiate her debt, a series Of resolutions de-
nouncing population in the warmest terms
as not only wrong in itself, but as unwise
and mischievOus as a matter of policy and
expediency, were adopted with but one dis
SentiDg vote.

AS was 10 have been expec ted, the incen-
diary address OF General John S. Preston at
the University Of Virginia, in'which he char
acterizes the suppression of the rebellion as
"the most unnatural crime God has per-
United man 10 perpetrate-" and says our
country is now "the skeleton of nations, but
that "our children must be free" has called
out much excited comment. 1t would be
unfair, however, to hold the whole South
responsible for the Incorporate utterances of
this crazy South Carolinian. His expressions
are repudiated by every Southern paper on
our exchange list, SO far as we have SEEN and
the New York Tribune states that earnest
appeals were sent TO IL by telegraph from the
University not to print the address, on the
ground that it was on all hands disapproyed
and ceplored, and ought not to have the
circle of its mischievous influence widened
by publication II Is not so easy, however
10 suppress such mischieyOus utterances
and we have no doubt these wild sayings of
General Preston will figure largely in cam
raign documents and campaign speeches. to
''fire the northern heart at the next national
election The unfortunate affair should at
least serve TO teach college authorities, and
Others, TO exercise some discretion in the
choice OF speakers at their anniversaries.

sisters have been debauched Will, instead OF
calling jury Of twelve, take the law into
their own hands II says in this connection.
There is no doubt that If, even so late as
a year ago, Theodore Tilton had walked into
the pulpit Of Plymouth church and shot Mr..
Beecher dead before the congregation, and
then exhibited the testimony which he pos
sessed, the whole world would have justified
the deed, Plymouth church would have gone
