Very few, perhaps, Of our readers are strang-
ers to the popular dry goods establishment of
Strawbridge & Clothier, Philadelphia, but on
ly those who have visited their store within the
past few weeks can form an idea of the immense
assortment, now on exhibition, Of those unique
French novelties in dress textures, which OF
late have become 30 fashionable.
Forseeing the great demand for these goods
member Of the frm visited the nanufacturirs &
centres Of France and personally selected the
choicest styles, many of which are confined to
themselves and are shown nowhere else in thii
country.
The cheaper fabrics, this firm now, - hereto
fore, are distributing to their customss At the
same price per yard As the country merchant
pays for the identical goods by tho case.
Every department Of the house is conducted
on the principal of delivering goods to the peo
pie at one small uniform profit above cost o
production.
We would remind our lady readers who can
not spare the time to visit Eighth and Marke
| streets in person, to avail themselves of thi
firms original system of shopping by mail,
which gives the most distant consumer a. near
y as possible all the advantages of the Phils

The virtues of early rising are set down
by Miss Bracket, an accomplished school
teacher, of New York, as entirely overdone,
and in an amusing little paper, entitled "a
Triad of Superstition" she calls upon people
to renounce the worship of this fetch, and
to give over being ashamed when early ris-
ers take on superior airs of lofty scorn to-
wards people who come down late to break
fast. These last, she argues, have really
done nothing to be ashamed of, in sleeping
their sleep out If they haye wasted an
hour or so of daylight they may have saved
up more strength of nerve tissue, and econo-
missed their vital forces more wisely than
the monomaniacs on the other side who get
up before the sun does, and burn gas in the
early mornings, to shave or study by. But
the whole point, which the satirst fails to
touch, depends entirely upon what the early
risers get up for, when their work begins,
and on what hours of the twenty-four they
must put the heaviest strain. The teacher s
work begins at nine in the morning, and
she may make an eight, ten or twelve hour
business of it and its collateral occupations,
continuing these till midnight. Obviously
it would be as fanatical in professionals OF
this sort, or in those called to active appear.
ance at ten in the morning to trouble their
heads about DR.. Watts teachings, as il
would be in night editor, compositor oil
night watchman to be disturbed, because
their working hours continue while Other
folks are asleep. 1t is altogether in the ad
iustment of work and hours that the true
balance lies. If the clothes are to be hune
out for the short winter sunlight it is a wis
laun dress that lights her gas early over th
tubs, and duties that call to work at sever
and are over by six at night, justify the ear
ly to bed and early to rise motto.
But there is questionable practice @
working before break fast which is not virtu
by any means, but process that may b
perm icious and exhausting. The sagaciou
t French, whose second breakfast comes q
, eleven o'clock or noon, have their big bow
of coffee and roll before they get-fgurativt
r ly speaking-on their legs for the day. BIT
:, there are people so injudicious as to considt
: that they are taking a constitutional, in
e long walk, ride on horseback, or even sti
= ring exercise in the way of work, for sever,
) hours, fasting, which is about equal to tt
:. :. wisdom of putting the blast on in a furnac
when the fuel is low. 1t ought to be r
; membered for domestic employees who ms
" have to work for hours before the family
ready for breakfast that cup of tea in tin
may save a good deal of unnecessary wear
ness, and that it is in the little thoughtful
ness for the comfort of others that tr,
management depends. The same wisdo
will send people to bed and get them out
it in accordance with the work they have
do, and the hours this work is to be done

The New York Sun in its report from Mauch
Chunk of the execution of Fisher, alludes to
Boomsburg and says that Sheriff Hoffman was
drunk when he hung Hester and the others.
This is a lie, without any foundation whatever.
The sheriff performed his duty without single
mistake in any Of the details. But the trouble
with the 300 pounds of Sun reporter was that
he became impertinent and insulted the sheriff
in the Jail short time before the execution,
whereupon The sheriff ordered two policemen to
eject him from the building, which was accor-
dinghy done, and the reporter is now taking
sweet revenge by circulating the above false
hood. The only thing the sheriff is to be blam
ed for is that he afterwards accepted an hum
BILE apology from the fellow, and resdmitted
him TO the Jail yard.

day to break Jail. The window sill made o.

to leave in the same manner as before. How

know the parties visiting the Jail. If Ifstrangers
they should be compelled to furnish recomuen-
