A Wonderful Establishment

One of the sights afforded by our city at
the present time, which 10 one visiting the
Centennial should fail to see, in Wanama-
ker's Mammonth Clothing Depot, Thir-
teenth and Market streets
This is the largest establishment ofits
kind in the world, comprising, as it does,
between two and three acres of store
room on one floor, and containing on its
hundreds of retail counters a stock of Cloth
ing, Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, and
Mems Furnishing Goods valued at over one
million of dollars. Some idea of the extent
OF business done at this giant establishment
may be gathered from the fact that nearly
two thousand hands are constantly employed
in the different departments-of these five
hundred being always in the store engaged
in the capacity of clerks, statesmen, cutters,
sewers, etc, etc.
The business is all done on one floor, and
is carried on in all its branches with the
most perfect system. Everything works
as smoothly as clockwork, for the simple
reason that every employee in the manu-
featuring department has his specifce work
to perform, and particular, place to per-
form it in, while the clerks and statesmen
are under strict discipline from the time
they begin work in the morning until they
leave their posts in the evening.
Visitors to this mammoth house are al
ways welcome, and are treated with uni
form courtesy and attention, whether they
purchase or not. The different stages in
the manufacture Of clothing, from the re-
ception of the fabrics in the piece, direct
from the mills, down to the folding of the
ready made garments for exhibition on the
counter, may be seen here to the best ad-
vantage, while the wonderful-team cutting
machines and other improved labor-saving
appliances used in the tailoring business,
are constantly in operation.
The proprietor, Mr.. John Wanamaker,
is also the senior member of the firm of
Wanamaker & Brown, of the celebrated
Oak Hall Clothing Store. Sixth and Market
streets, and of the house of John Wana-
maker & Co., SIS and $40 Chestnut street,
this city. These two establishments en-
ploy over a thousand hands, and do an i'm
mense business.
Mr.. Wanamaker began business in 1861
with Mr.. Brown, under the new famous
firm name Of Wanamaker & Brown. The
business relation continued until Mr..
Browns death in 1868, when the entire
business passed into Mr.. Wanamaker S
hands, and has since been carried on under
his personal supervision with degree of
enterprise and success that has not only
made his name a synonym of American
goaheaditivcness, but has enabled him to
build up a princely private fortune

The Suns DOings.

Depue Roseberry, farmer residing near
Belvidere n. j., q short time since set
hen on nine turkey eggs. She performed
her work well for two weeks, when it doubt
less became too rronotonous, and she left
the nest to return no more. Her unusual
conduit was severely censured by Mr.. r.
but his reproof didn't seem to affect the
hen in the least She maintained a stoical
Indifference, and needed not the appeals
made to her to finish the job. The eggs were
not disturbed, but were left in the nest to
do their own Matching. And this they did
IN due course of time. Upon examing the
nest the other day what was Mr.. II. IS great
surprise to find that FIVE of the nine eggs
had Matched out, and there were the five
turkeys apparently as happy and contented
as if the maternal hen had warmed them
into existence The sun had done the work
assigned to the eRratic hen, which goes to
prove that hens amt good for much after
all, and can't be relied upon Warren

Political Notes.

A New York burglar has come out for
Tilden. He came out of the penitentiary,
on pardon from the great 'reformer.
John Blum an old and respected Ger
man citizen of Des Moines and always
Democrat hitherto, writes long letter to
the Register, avowing his intention to vote
for Hayes and Wheeler.
William McNally, a well-known Demo
crat of New York city and member of
the Tammany Hall committee, has sent in
his resignation to the organization named
and announced his purpose of opposing
Tilden.
In the trying days of the war does any
body remember of having heard of either
Tilden or Hendricks making speech, or
saving one word of cheer for the brave boys
who were at the front fighting for the life
of the Government?

has performed in twenty-five years" None

Mr.. Tilden as Friend Of the Working
Man.

1t is scarcely in the nature of things that
a man like Samuel j. Tilden can have any
sympathy with the working man. He Is
mcrceuary aud ambitious, and his life as a
lawyer and politician has been given to pill
lug up money and intriguing for personal
aggrandizcment. How the men who earned
their bread by the sweat of their brow got
along has given him no concern, as is shown
by the following, taken from the Lancaster
E1amciRer
When Samuel j. Tilden's Michigan Iron
Company went into bankruptcy in 1873, it
was owing It's miners and laborers about
$4,000. Just before the event. and after
It was seen to be inevitable several Of the
honest stockholders would unite, to raise
the full amount due to the laborers out of
their private funds 1t was an honest pro-
position from men who understood the
rights aud needs Of the men on whose labor
they had profted. All the stockholders,
save one refused, and consequently the
workmen did not get their pay, and
have not received it. 1t would have cost
that man about 81 300 to have paid his
proportion Of this honorable assessment.
1t was an honest debt but he was in New
York and he knew the poor workmen could
not sue for their rights, OF they had no

Hendricks as Salary Grabbcr.

The following appears in the indianapolis
Joaraai: "Gov. Hendricks is a salary
grabbcr that is to say, while in the United
St Senate he voted to increase his own pay,
the increase to date back from the begin
ning Of the session. In 1866, the Miscel-
laucous Appropriation bill being under con
sidcratiun IL the Senate. Senator Riddle. of
Delaware, moved the following amendment g:
That the compensation Of each Senator.
Representative, and Delegate in Congress
shall be s., 600 per year, and mileage as now
provided by law; and this provision shall
he construed to operate from the beginning
Of the Thjrty-ninth Congress.
The mileage was then forty cents per mile
Senator Henderson, of Missouri, offered an
amendment providing for twenty cents d
mile instead Of forty cents. Senator Hen
bricks moved an ameudmeut providing that
those members living east Of the Rocky
Mountains receive ten cents per mile, and
those west twenty cents. We quote:
Mr.. IIendricks-I move to strike out
"twenty' and insert "ten," and also to add
that members west of the Rocky Mountains
shall have twenty cents per mile. in
t.ud atterward to propose that the mileage
shall take effect from the commencement
Of the next Congress.
Mr. Grimes-And the salary, too?
Mr. Hendricks-No Sir.
Thus we see that Mr. Hendricks wanted
the increased salary to date back to the be-
ginning Of that Congress, but wanted the
decreased mileage to take effect at the be
ginning of the next Congress. a few days
later, Mr. Hendricks amendment having
been voted dowd, the Senate came to vote
on the original proposition, and upon that
Mr.. Hendricks voted in the affirmative
that is, he voted for the amendment giving
Congressman $4,000 per year instead Of
$4,000. Thus Mr.. Hendricks stands on
the record as having voted to increase his
own pay and to give himself back pay
The record shows that under this act, passed
IN part by Mr. Hendricks vote, he drew in
back pay s., ,805 So"

The storm of Sunday and Monday nights
was very severe along the whole Jersey
coast, from Long Branch down. The
amount of rain that fell was enormous No
serious damage was done, except in the way
of interrupting railroad travel Washouts
are reported at two or three places, and two
or three places, and two deep crevasses
were made in the line of the Pennsylvania
railroad, near Farmingdale. In consequence
of this the passage of the morning train
from Long Branch was prevented.

Alimony Suit Against Brigham Young

SALT LAKE, 3l.-This morning Judge
Schaeffer rendered decision in the case of
Young VS.. Young to recover alimony. The
decision reduces the amount made payable
by the order of Judge Mclean from $500
to 500 per month, and gives defendant
thirty days in which to pay the amount,
and provides in default of such payment
that execution shall issue against his pro-
perty. The court also decided that the
cost of the suit shall be paid by defendant.

benefactor of the laboring men of the ma
