SEEING ONk PAIR.

Mr.. Henry Watterson, the genial Kentucky
Journalist, has been gazing adown the great
"archway of American History.n 1t is be-
leved that he began turning his gaze toward
the archway the morning after the New-York
election. The returns from this State af-
fected great many ardent Democrats
in the same way. They went wandering
round in a dazed, abstracted manner, looking
for the most available position from which
they could see into the archway. Mr. Waiter
son is the only one, however, who has reported
his observations. He says he saw two figures
he could have seen great many more
than that In the NewYork returns-and
they were moving slowly hand In
"hand." They were William NJ. Tweed
"and Rutherford b. Hayes "a most remark
able conjunction. but Watterson has a way of
seeing the strangest sort of combinations-and
they seemed to him to be warnings to
"the wicked and the weak lessons to
"the aspiringi the one sign of bold
"vilany which came to bad end, the
"other symbol Of the degradation to

Important 10 Taxpayers.

We would most respectfully return
our thanks to our friends and the citi-
zens Of Wilmington In general for the
very liberal share Of patronage they
have favored us with, our special sale
of stock having exceeded our greatest
expee .ations. There, however, still
remains moro to be sold yet, as we
have decided to close out at still great
or reduced prices to make room for the
large stock Of fall and winter goods
which We are about putting in our store.
We would rather give these bargains
1t home than to dealers in the far west
and south, and by manufacturing our
own goods we are enabled to place them
in the markets for much less than store
keepers who have to pay ,ull manufac-
tursrs prices, (with freight added) and
then put on / large living profit, all Of
which the people who buy frsm them
have to pay. Just think Of this and
