Procure Something Useful.
THE PuBnIsHERs.

In making our selections for Christ
mas presents, we should endeavor to
pro euro such articles as will prove
useful to those who receive them. As
rule, we are too much given to pur-
chasing such things as will only for
while please the eye. In making our
usual rounds, we have been observing
the many beautiful things now on ex-
hibition, but one OF the most attractive
places we have yet visited is the Bos-
TON ONE PRICE CIoTHrSa HOUSE.
This immense establishment is stock.
ed to repletion with all manner of
beautiful and useful articles, and the
crowds that daily throng this house,
is an4unmistskable evidence, that the
energy and enterprise of the genial
proprietor, Mr.. v. E HobmEs, heartily
appreciated by our citizens.
To give detailed account Of the
many beautiful things now on exhibi
at this Mammoth Clothing Establish
ment, wocld more than occupy our
entire columns, but suffice it to say,
here can be found the most beautiful
and useful things suitable for Holiday
presents.
As we were looking through the i'm
mense stock, admiring everything in
its turn, we could not help but notice
the immense line of Cardigan Jackets,
made in every possible design, with
prices ranging from, rs, cents to 81,
and the thought occurred to us, what
an excellent present one of those beau
tiful Jackets would be. 1t 10 useless
for us to tell the Wilmington people,
that the Boston Clothing House, is
ahead of all its competitors, for that
bias long since been an established
fact.
The prices here are ind, ed surpri-
singly low, notwithstanding the heavy
advance on all wooden goods. Mr..
Holmes made his purchases before
this advance and hence his customers
are having the. advantages of hisrwis-
dom in this respect. Suits of clothes
he is now selling at figures, that he
cannot replace, the for, and SO 1t is
with his immense line of overcoats.
ulsters, s.. We were shown mems
fall suits as low as So and &c., over
coats as low as $3.50, children's suits
as low as 49,. He has also an excellent
line of silk handkerchief, in, fact the
furnishing department, is full of the
most beautiful and useful things. It
will pay you to visit this depot Of use
fulness and see for yourselves that it
is the place to make your purchases.
Mr. Geo, Mccall is now with this
house, and would be pleased to see his
many friends.

THE TENNESSEE DEBT.

A MOVEMENT By THE REPUDIATIoNIsrs FOR AN
EXTRA LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
"A NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dec. 1S, 1872
Tho low tax democrats in the Legislature held
caucus here last night. 1t conducted
with much secrecy that tho fact did not
become known until to-day. 1t is said to have
been called by Representative Gregg. the intimate
political friend Of Governor Marks. who is said to
have advocated petitioning the Governor to call
another special session of the Legislature to pass
law levyng tax to pay the interest dollar for dol
lar. on Capitols Hermitage aud agricultural bonds.
amounting to $2,105 900. which low tax call the
State debt proper. The proposition discussed at
great length the bulk Of the debt being left entirely
ont of consideration.
The only result reached was that II the Governor
desired to call q special session Of the Legislature
looking to Q levy of tax and the payment
of interest the above specified bonds
he could do so. This movement on the part Of the
low tax democrats Is looked upon an attempt to
flank the State credit democrats who favor equit
able adjustment Of the entire debt and who are en-
phatically opposed to the reputation Of any of it,
1t is believed that the movement Will recol upon
the low tax democrats. who have been steadily losing
ground by o vacillatng policy.

DEATH OF DANIEL DREW,

:. Eighty-two years Of existence seldom
pass over one head finding the owner
more constantly busted with varied af-
fairs than tho,e vouchsafed to Daniel
Drew, who passed away yesterday. He
belonged to the pioneers of speculation
In the United States and outlived his
generation, but two or three of them
reaching to our day. He was built of
the same sturdy through material as the
late Commodore Vanderbilt-the men
whose native push aud persistence lift
ed them out of their earlier pursuits,
who were never too old for newmethods
of making money, and who nevertheless
carried through all their affairs, large as
well small, the characteristics of their
early days. Neither Mr.. Drew nor Mr..
Vanderbilt was polished by successes
out of their early methods Of speech or
ever lost the homely turn of that grim
humor which was so wont to be the out
come of shrewd action, as witness the
hundred "reminiscences that survive of
"Uncle Dan'p and "the Commodore"
ON the "street." Mr.. Vanderbilt, began
lite as Staten Island boatman, and MIR.
Drew catching the eye of a limited pub
lie as an iiinerant Snowman, passed on
to cattle driving, hotel keeping, steam
boat owEing, banking, Wall street specu
lation on the largest scale, = church and
seminary building, the same Danl Drew
as when he began. He combined piety
and speculation and was dead in earnest

of combination OF diseases, aggravated
Oy general debility, the result of his
advanced years. On this account he
was unable of late. years to follow any
active business, and kept a boarding
house.
Mr.: Groves was born in Red Lion
Hundred this county, on February 28th,
1905, and was therefore in his 10Th year
Of ms age Mt the time of his death. He
resided in the lower part of New Castle

wilmington, and engaged in the com
mission business. In 1874 he was nomi-
mated BY the Democratic party tor Coro-
ner OF New Castle connt,, and was
elected at the General election Of that
year. After h election he reli nQuist ed
The commission business and attended
only 10 the the duties of his office, max
ing competent, honest and worthy
official. He was a candidate for nomi-
nati0n again, last year, tut was not sue
cessful. He also held tue offices If tax
collect0r and consts BILE at various times
Mr.. Groves was an earnest and consis-
tent memb ber of the M. K. SDcie;y, being
connected with the Union and Asbury
churches during his residence in this

TON MILL THIS MORNING.
cry that the Arlington cotton mill
was on Hire, threw BrandywiD village
intO a tumult at an early hour this morn
ing, and the sharp blowing Of the whis-
lie called out the fire engines.
The fire was among the cotton in the
picking room, and the blaze from the
burning cotton gave the Interior of the
mill the appearance of being enveloped
in devouring conflagration. The fore
men and getting the hose into play soon
had the fire fairly under control. BY
this time the Phoenix fire engine had
arrived upon the scene, but through a
Misunderstanding it was sent back again
iuto town. Mr.. Gambrill, hearing of
this, had the whistle blown again. .wh lch
called nearly all the engines out. They
went into service and flooded the room
in which the fire had occurred, with
water, thus making the recurrence OF
the fire an impossibillty.
The tiIe broke out in the picking room
and was caused by the heating of a
bearing. The mill had been running
nearly all night in order 10 make up for
loss of time which would be caused to-
tay by by storpage to have serious
break in the machinery repaired. While
the watchman was busy elsewhere, the
fire caught and blazed up quickly. The
loss is trltiing, and the whole thing, in
cluding damage TO cotton by fire and
water and the burning OF a belt, which
was the onlypart of the appurtenances to
che machinery injured, will not amount
to more than five dollars. Had 1t gained
little more headway nothing could
have saved the mill from serious damage
if not complete destruction.
