BUSINESS EwTERPR1sE.

The Opening Yesterday at Coyken-
da1l's Establishment on N;co11et
Avenue. The Visitors, Purchasers.
the Store and the Stock Carried,
Notions and Dry Goods.
One Of the most successful openings we
have ever had in this city and probably
in the State. was that on 243 and 245
Nicollet Avenue on yesterday. Although
the day was not one of the most favora-
BILE ii: point of weather, the crowd was
all that could be desired and transact any
business. It is fair to say that the change
Of location and the larger building Afford
ed by the fine Herrick block have been
kendall Bros. s. Co. The announcement
of general enlargement of the dry goods
department and the addition OF the
wholesale branch. Yankee notions, at
tracted trade, local and State, that had
not heretofore been reached. It has re-
suited in orders from all parts CT the
northwest, and even from the re1notest
sections Of the country, from the most
unexpected parts. The outlook, there
fore, is one of the most encouraging kind.
1t is in fact brilliant.
We will briefly sketch what the visitor
saw on Saturday. The building is three
stories high with~splendid basement,
The first floor is devoted to the retail de-
partment, which embraces as choice q
dry goods stock, as beautifully stielved
and displayed as can be named outside
of the great cities. The whole front is
glass, including three fourths of the
doors. It is the largest glass front in
Minneapolis. This with the large win
dows in the rear makes the room unexcep-
tionably light and attractive. There is
not dark corner in the room. There is
plenty of light for the most exacting buy
er. The arrangement of goods in sight
is skillful and tasty. It equals the ge-
Mus exhibited at a State exposition,
where the goods are similar to the stock
here presented. We cannot enumeratc,
but will remark that our readers will find
their visit to Coykendall's paying one.
The dress goods. we will mention, range
from ten cents yard to six dollars and
half per yard. That range should hit
most every body.
The second floor is given up to notions
and the cloak room. The cloaks run in
price from 81 to SIS. Another range
that ought to suit most everybody. The
third floor is occupied by notions and
full line Of underwear for men, women
and children. The trade of the notion
department will be very large, and deal
ers throughout the State and adjacent ter
ritory Will find it to their advantage to
order from Coykendalrs in the future.
A speciality is their house furnishing
goods, and customers will do we'll to re-
member it.
We can sum up by adding that every
department is full, and everything i'll the
Yankee notion or dry goods line, is in
their stock. We have large maufactur-
ing interests in Minneapolis, but there is
another growing that will soon challenge
the best Of the former. 1t is the interest
represented by Coykendall Bros. s. Co.
We anticipate great career for it. Our
indisputable advantages will guarantee
such career.-Pioneey Press, Mznneaf-

his old friend Don Alphonso gave him a
beautiful country house, whittier he re-
tired, Disguised with courts. Here he
espoused lovely young wife, named
Antonia. who soon died, leaving him
disconsolate.
The prince, whom he had served TO
his own loss, succeeding sometime after
wards to the throne, Gil Bias was per-
suaded to try his fortune again at court.
The king received him kindly and re-
commended him to the new prime min
lister, Count d Olivarez, with whom he
became an even greater favorite than
with the Duke Of Lerma. Repenting
Of his former evil courses. Signor Gil
Bias, instead of selling his influence,
used it in behalf Of his friends, especi-
ally Don Alphonso, for whom he pro-
cured a viceroyalty. Another old friend,
Fabricius the poet, found his wit an un-
satisfactory reliance and was discovered
in the hospital by Gil Bias, who Of
fered him assistance if he would prom
Use to write no more works of genius"
''Dost thou not feel thyself capable, =
he asked, "of making such sacrifice 2"
II have already made it." cried the
poet, 81 am firmly resolved to abandon
the muses., and when thou camest in was
just composing an eternal adieu TO them
in versep
Gil Bias shook his head at this dubi-
ous sign of penitence, but gave sixty
pistoles to Fabricius, who thereupon
plunged deeper than ever into the mire
of authorship.
The prime minister's secretary con-
tinued in high favor during all the years
of his masters ascendency, and for his
many services was made q don. But q
sudden and successful revolt in Portu-
gal, then under Spanish rule, brought
on the overthrow of Count d Olivarez,
and the faithful Gil Bias went into re-
tirement with the disgraced minister.
Ere long the latter fell i'll, and, sending
for three famous physicians of the San
grado pattern, they made an end Of him
within a week. By his will Gil Bias
received ten Thousand pistoles, and with
this sum and some pensions acquired
at court he withdrew once more to the
country seat given by him to Don AL
phonso.
Here he was so much struck with the
charms of the fair Dorothea de Jutella.
that he resolved, after being for twenty
years a faithful widower, to tempt again
the perils and pleasures of matrimony.
The lady accepted his addresses, and
the happy Don Gil Bias soon found
himself the father of two happy children
whose education became the amusement
of his tranquil old age.

NrHE UNIVERSITY TOWER.
NEW YORK, July, 1863.


Is Il the wind, the many-tongued, the weird
That cries in sharp distress about the caves
Ia II the wind whose gathering shout is heard
With voice Of peoples myriad like the leaves
Ia IA the wind? FLY TO the easement, quick,
And when the roar comes thick
Fling wide the sash,
Await the crash
Nothinp. Some various solitary cries,
Some sauntering womans short, hard laugh
Or hOnester, dogs bark-these arise
From lAmplit street up to the free Flagstaff,
Nothing remains of that low threatening sound ;
The wind raves not the caves around;
Clap easement to,
You heard not true.
Hawk, there again a roar that holds shrek
Rnt NOT without, no, from below it comes;
What pulses up from solid earth to wreak
A venReful word on lofty towers and domes
What angry booming doth the trembling ear,
Glued TO The stone wall hear
So deep, no air
It's weight can bear?
Grieve STis the voice ef ignorance and vice,
The rage of slaves who fancy they are free,
Men who would keep men slaves at any price,
Too blind their own black manacles to see.
Grievel IT'S that grisly specter with q torch,
Riot-thAt bloodies every porch,
Hurls justice down
And burns the town.

p Manners In Business.

There are ways of attracting custom.
says the Fancy Goods Record, as there
are ways of repellng it; and we are re-
minded of the value of manners in
business by an incident of our own ex-
perience when we accompanied some
ladies shopping in quiet country town.
The shop-keeper's manner was we'll cal
culated to drive people from his shop.
He was q slovenly, bushy-haired man,
with . smileless face and suspicious
eyes, that seemed to regard every passer-
by as q burglar and every customer as q
possible sWindler. His till was fitted
with patent burglar alarm, which gave
a clang every time he opened it to change
ten cent piece. He watched with the
glance Of a detective every lady who
handled piece Of goods, as if she pur-
posed slippinga whole piece of Horrock's 's
cotton under her cloak. Indeed his
entire manner made the people feel un-
comfortable and anxious to be out of his
place. Finally, when one of the ladies
gave him q five dollar bill to pay for her
purchases, he put on his glasses to
examine 1t slowly and carefully, then
pulled out the burglar proof drawer
with its ring OF alarm, closed it on
second thought with another clang, and
hied away to the further end Of the shop
to make sure from an old bank note de-
tector that the note was not counterfeit,
after which he moodily made change.
The party have never called upon him
since, and no member of it ever will.
The whole conduct of the man said, as
if in 80 many words, ''Look here, you
people, you can't cheat me, and you
can't have my goods until am satisfied
about you. I have every device for
swindlers, so keep your distance" The
result was that he lost custom, for no
one cares to be suspected obviously of
being thief. It is possible to please q
customer by your manner and your
business arrangement, and also to dis
gust him or her by pettiness or dis
courtesy. Proper caution isa good thing,
but it need not be exaggerated, as in this
case, into universal distrust and offensive
suspicion. A shopkeeper, to attract
customers, must see that the looks, Is
well as the ways of his shop, are invit-
ing. .rr

GIL Bias, or, the Adventures of Sa'
gaoiOus Valet.

Gil Bias the clever son of two worthy
serving folk, was brought up by his
uncle. Gil Peres, an honest little priest,
and well taught by DR.. Godinez, the
most expert fogger in Oviedo. At
seventeen his uncle started him, with
forty ducats and q sorry mule, to push
his fortunes in the world. At the first
inn brisk cavaier saluted him as,
"Signor Gil Bias, the ornament of
Oviedol the eighth wonder of the
worldr'
The flattered youth swallowed this
homage with delight; the stranger swal-
lowed in return. at the young travellers
expense, the best part Of two omlets
and delicious trout, and then staIked
away with q laugh, saying:
ssHenceforth, beware of praise; don't
be duped again, nor believe yourself
the eighth wonder Of the world, though
people shall swear it"
The chagrined Gil Bias fell shortly
after into the hands of Captain Rolan-
dos robbers, who lived in an under
ground retreat, and made him assistant
for six months to their red-haired cook
maid, Leonardo. At last he escaped,
with the beautiful Donna Mencis, of
Mosouera, whom the thieves had cap
tured. But the doublet and hose he
had taken from the cave being recog-
nized by the man from whom they were
stolen, he was clapped into prison,
stripped, and left naked on the straw of
his cell. Being released at last, he
made his way, in footman's frock, to
Donna Mencia, who gave him q diamond
ring and bag Of ducats. he was now
much elated; but he had hardly bought
blue velvet doublet, and hired valet,
before two sharpers, named Camilla
and Raphael, pretending to be relations
of Donna Mencia, neatly swindled him
out Of both ducats and ring.
In this plight, Fabricius, q shrewd
old school-fellow, bade him be wise and
turn valet.
"Go to service" he cried; "study
your master, gain his confidence, and
then lead him by the nose"
Liking this advice, Gil Bias settled
himself with gouty old canon, named
Sedillo, and sat up o nights for three
months to tend him, in hopes of fat
legacy. Growing very i'll at last the
canon sent for the famous and solemn
DIR. Sangrado, who had kept the under
takers busy forty years at least.
1.-THE business here, quoth he sis to
supply the defect Of prespiration, which
is obstructed. Pray, what is your diet?"
Broth and juicy meat and wine, "
said the canon.
"Oh, frightfulI You ought to have
been dead long agol If you had drunk
pure water and been satisfied with sim
pie nourishment, such as boiled apples,
you would not now need sitting to
rights"
Sangrado then prescribed copious and
frequent bleedings, and the incessant
drinking Of warm water, whereby in
two days the canon was reduced TO ex-
tremity, and had barely time TO make
his viii before he became food for
worms. He bequeathed his library Of
five or six moth-eaten books to Gil Bias,
Who tranquility left this legacy behind,
and transferred his services to DR.. San
grado. Here he dieted moderately on
peas and beans, and the like; but was
sumptuously regaled on abundance Of
water. When this created great disor-
der within, the good doctor blandly
said:

What a Convict Discovered
From the Toledo Commercial.

From the Toledo Commercial.
The life of compa rative leisure which
those who spend their days in the peni-
tentiaries enjoy, often give them an OPP
portunity to make some wonderful dis
coveries. Among the more curious OF
these was something lately found out by
a convict in the Ohio State Prison, which
while it does not vastly benefit the hu
man race, furnishes amusement to the
children. The trick is to take piece oil
paper quadrangular in shape, and fold il
several times, so that when completed it:
shape is not materially changed, il
merely being reduced in size, and render
ed thicker by the series of folds. Their
cut the paper in two, lengthwise, once
only once-and sort out the fragments
The result will be found to be wonderful
The pieces of paper will be found in the
following named forms: A cross, two
mortised blocks into which it is set, two
tapers standing on either side. two spears
with which the body of Him who died
on the cross was pierced, and the dice
with which the men cast lots TO decide
who should have his garments

a Cautious Granger.

If all farmers are as cautious as the
one near Newport, R. L., the spring bed
and lightning-rod men won't find any
dupes on a second visit. A short time
since, after he had been paid check for
a hundred dollars, he presented it at a
bank for payment. He was told it
would be necessary for him to indorse
his name on the back of the check before
receiving the money, No you don't! !"
he exclaimed; you don't get me to in
dorse anything,-I've got caught that
way before" 1t was explained to him
that this was rule of all banks, that
where check was made to a mans order
it was necessary for him to indorse it be-
fore receiving the money. Il can't help
that, said the still obdurate customer,
" I've vowed never to indorse another
thing, and / won't" All arguments
were lost on him, and it finally resulted
in his returning the check to the maker
of it and receiving the cash from him.

A Theory of the Deluge.

One of the widest of theories, | fear,
is the Astronomer-RoyaPs, that of the
deluge was simply great rising of the
Nile. Sir g. Airy is 50 confident re-
specting this that he says: ~ cannot
entertain the smallest doubt that the
food of Noah was food of the Nile, y
precisely as he might say, " cannot en-
terrain the smallest doubt that the earth
moves round the SUM-" On one point
we can entertain very little doubt, in
deed. If it ever rained before the flood,
which seems probable, and if the sun
ever shone on falling rain, which again
seems likely, nothing short of a miracle
could have prevented the rainbow from
making its appearance before the flood.
The widest theory that can be invented
to explain the story of the deluge cannot
be wilder than the supposition that the
rays of sunlight shining on falling rain
drops could have ever failed to show the
prismatic colors.-Belgrdrid.

Stripping for the Fight

In an Ohio circuit there fourished
once, like green bay tree, a preacher
by the name of Burdsell, who showed his
earnestress over a theme by the amount
of clothing he removed during the dis
cussion of the text. When the Sunday
was rather warm and the text was q
pretty good one, such as How can We
escape if We neglect so great salvation?' -
this brother would take off his coat early
in the hour of the elucidation. As the
terrors of the world, from which man
ought to escape, would open up to his
rural imagination, his long black neck
erchief, which was more like bandage
for broken limb than for clerical dec
Grafton, would be suddenly unwound
and be hung across the high box in
which the elocution was taking place,
and onward would move the language il
not the thought. By the time this me-
morable preacher had reached the close,
and was pounding on the Bible by way
of peroration, there was nothing left on
the man except a few of the essential
articles of toilet-Pr0E Sniaq's alliance.
