best to locate certain classes of goods and
necessarily, changes had to be made. The
present arrangement of the various stocks
is now regarded as probably permanent.
Goods of kindred character have been
obtained as we have grown to understand
the peoples wants.
None but polite, patient and painstaking
clerks have been retained, and the service
has been much improved.
The system of collecting the cash and
delivering parcels has also been greatly
improved, so that in no large store in any
city, can customers be safely served more
quickly. It is always important to buyer
as well as seller to provide against mistakes,
if possible, though it may require two
minutes longer.
The principles of the business are not in
any way modified. We propose to sell
every thing throughout the house uniformly
and new articles that all persons may not
be Judges of, will be alike cheap.
We propose to sell at quite low prices, in
order to sell large quantities, which will
serve us just as well, and serve our custom
erS better.
We adhere to our purpose to satisfy the
people, and, therefore, take back any
article if returned in proper condition
within reasonable time, and pay over
whatever we receive for it. This rule in
cludes dress patterns, ribbons, velvets and
dresses, unless the latter are altered under
special instructions.
The stock of goods at the Grand Depot
is intended to include the finest as we'll as
the lower qualities of goods, and it is Curl
Gus to note the difficulty had some times
in convincing people that qualities are some
times up to the highest standard, when the
prices are, from various reasons, SO much
lower than have been common.
Anything we have not on hand may be
ordered at the counters, and it will be pro-
cured so soon as electricity and steam power
can bring it here.
Each department of the house will be in
the hands of skillful and watchful persons,
and must improve from day to day under
the system inaugurated.
The Grand Depot is an inexpensive build
ing, located in the very heart of the city,
and admirably adapted to the business con-
Quoted in it. The expense of carrying on
business is always smaller where the larg-
est quantity of goods is distributed. The
economy thus attained is an important con-
sideraton in these times. By the rapid
turning of goods into cash, even though
with small profits, new and fresh stock can
always be offered to our patrons. These
considerations, together with our unbend-
ing purpose to make the house always
worthy of the confidence asked for it, just
ify us in commencing the Grand Depot to
the fair consideration of the buyers of this
great city and those who live adjacent
thereto.
Those who only come to see are assured
of cordial welcome.

PAY OF METHODIST BISHOPS.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS AND FIGURES
The last General Conference, in May,
1876, ordered the publication of the sala-
ries of the bishops, book agents and edi-
tors, but did not direct who should make
such publication. The Book Committee
j. L. Smith, Chairman, and L. C. Mat
lack, Secretary--however, assumed the
duty, and on May gath, 1877, Immediately
after their first meeting subsequent to the
General Conference, published in the
Christian 4dyocate that the bishops saa-
ries were $4,000 per annum each, with the
further allowance of $1,000 year for
house rent in New York and $1,000 else
where. The same salary and allowance is
made to each book agent and editor at
New York, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis, in all fifteen persons, exclusive of
the eleven bishops Then there are fur
Their allowances of salaries, amounting to
$40, 700, to editors of Methodist papers in
Pittsburg, San Francisco, Oregon, SYRIA
cuse and Atlanta. In dollars the expen-
diture is:-For bishops salaries and rent
allowances, S44, 800; for book agents,
missionary secretaries and editors, $780,
200-to say nothing of the possible con-
tingency of an unstated but small amount
likely to be required to aid the experiment
of running a Methodist paper in New
Orleans.
The Bishops of the Nj. E. Church each
receive salary of IS, 900, and rent allow
ance of 1000. Their names and locations
are as follows:
Bishop Levi Scott, Odessa, Del.
Bishop M. Simpson, Philadelphia, Pa
Bishop E. r. Ames, Baltimore, Md.
Bishop Thomas Bowman, St. Louis, Mo.
Bishop w. L. Harris, New York, n. Y.
Bishop r. S. Foster, Boston, Mass.
Bishop |. n. Wiley, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Bishop s. NJ. Merrill, Chicago, Ill.
Bishop f. G.Andrews, Des Moines, Iowa.
Bishop Gilbert Haven, Atlanta, Ga.
Bishop J. T. Peck Syracuse, N. Y.
There are two book agents, three editors
and two missionary secretaries in New
York who receive 81, 800 each; two book
agents and four editors in Cincinnati, who
get $4,000 each

AN ASTONISHING FACT.-A large proper
ton of the American people are to- dav
dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or dis
ordered liver. The result of these dis
eases upon the masses of intelligent and
valuable people is most alarming, making
life actually burden instead of pleasant
existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it
ought to be. There is no good reason for
this, if you will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice of Drug.
gists and your friends and try one bottle of
Green's August Flower. Your speedy re-
lief is certain. Millions of bottles of this
medicine have been given away to try it's
virtues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy sample bottle for 10
cents to try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gists on the Western Continent.

Economies of our Wonderful Congress.

We have just learned as we are about going
to press, that the Pension Office is unable to
proceed with the settlement of cases of claims
for pension, for service in the war of 1872 be-
cause they have no money with which to pay
for the necessary printing, such as circulars, and
pension certificates.
The necessity of this appropriation has been
made known TO the proper committees in the
House long since, but our Congress has not time
to vote the sum required, and men, and women,
are left to drag on unaided, because of the
pinching and nail-paring economy of Congress-
Thousands Of dollars are wasted by all man
ner of absurd committees engaged in pretended
Investigations, but the pittance long since
known to be needed to do justice to the PEN
sioner, is neglected and withheld.
Until it pleases our temporary rulers to con
descend to look at as small thing as this, the
machinery must stop and the old soldier wait,
And this is Representative Government.
The National tribune., 1878-04-01

determined No signs of relenting on either
side. No movement in any direction that gives
promise of unravelng this complicated national
snarl Some of the Eastern Powers are playing
circus in the way of mediation and negotiation,
but it amounts to nothing beyond dumb show.
1t may engage public attention, but it promises
to accomplish no substantial results.
In the meantime the Grand Duke NICHOLAS
has returned to st. Petersburg and General
ToDLEBEN, the hero of the Crimean war, has as
sumed command of the Russo-Turko army
This, however, indicates nothing, except that
the Grand Duke desired relief and recuperation,
and the Nihilists of his country need looking
after in person General ToDLEBEN is said to
be greatly the superior of the Grand Duke,
either in the council or the field. IF negotia-
tions are to be opened with England he is much
wiser, more sagacious, and more discreet than
his superior, and if there is to be active demon
powers, General ToDLEBEN has courage, sagacity,
and experience in an eminent degree.
So far as the Russian interests are concerned.
this change of commanders is greatly in favor
of that cause. The change of command took
place last week, and the Grand Duke left for
the Russian Capital. 1t will soon transpire,
no doubt, whether peace or war is to mark
the immediate future. Peace cannot be main
tanned much longer under the existing cond-
tion of affairs. General ToDLEBEN will soon
ascertain if peace is attainable upon honorable
terms, and if not, the old hero will take meas
ures to sustain the honor of the Russian cause
A change of aspect cannot be much longer de-
layed.

Veteran Bounty.
I. A. BENTLEY,
Commissioner Of Pensions.

Those soldiers who, after having served nine
months or more, were honorably discharged and
then re-enlisted in another organization for three
years, between January |, 1868, and April /,
1864, are regarded as VETERANS, and should
have received S402 bounty from the United
States for their second service, provided that
they were discharged by reason of wound or in
jury mot diseasel, on account of the Govern
ment no longer requiring their services, or for
expiration of term of enlistment.
Many did not receive this veteran bounty by
reason of having been mustered into the second
service as " recruits instead of "veterans"
All such should send their discharges to George
E. Lemon, Lock-box AZ, Washington, ID. c.,
who viii, without delay, secure an office mus
ter" and collect the difference between 'sre-
cruit and veteran bounty, amounting to
$1O2 or 1902, according to date of second en-
istment.
OF course those who have received full $402
from the United States for their second service
are not further entitled.
