RETAIL TRADE

RETAIL TRADE
is just as complete as it can be, and a
man can be suited at almost any price,
from the very cheapest to the very best
material made, and satisfaction is al
ways guaranteed. No half guarantee,
but entirely so, and when they warrant
any Glass of goods 10 be of a certain
quality, they mean what they say, and
should the goods prove otherwise, they
will make it satisfactory.
GENTS FURNISHING GOODS.
This is department in Mr. McTeer's
trade to which he gives his special at
tention, and you will find it as complete
as it can possibly be. He always has
the very best of shirts, collars, cuffs,
handkerchiefs, neck-wear, underwear,
and everything of that kind, in ali
styles, at prices to suit the purchaser.
BOYS AND CHILDREN's CLOTHING.
This is a special feature, and never
before has any dealer kept such a com
plete stock of boys and children's cloth
ing as Mr.. McTeer keeps, and be has a
special room for this department of his
trade in the rear of the Trade Palace,
and adjoining his main store room,
reached by side entrance in the rear
portion of his store. Parents viii find
this great convenience, as they can
now clQthe their boys at the very lowest
figures, and much cheaper than they
can purchase the goods and have them
made to order.
THE MERCHANT TAILORING DEPARTMENT
is under the charge of Mr.. Moon, of
Washington and New York, an expert
enced workman, who has cut and fit for
the very best houses, and especial atten-
ton has been given 10 the selection of
piece goods for this department. You
can select the style of suit wanted and
the quality of goods desired, and have
your suit made 10 order, at prices that
will astonish you for cheapness, and re-
member, too, they warrant to fit and
give satisfaction or no trade. He keeps
the best of workmen, pays a good price
for the work, and insures satisfaction to
his customers.
1t has only been few years since
Mr.. McTeer commenced his business,
and then on acomparatiVely small scale,
but by prompt attention TO business, and
being thoroughly a. quainted with the
wants of his customers, dealing fairly
and squarely with them, he has con-
stantly increased the same until now he
has the whole of East Tennessee, and
sections of the adjoining States, for
field, and from every section merchants
are sending their orders for clothing TO
this house. Ali the attaches of the es-
tablishment are polite and eocommodat-
ing, and customers are always treated
in a manner to be pleasantly remembers
ed, and.ar always sure to call again.
Those of eur friends whs have not tried
this house will do well to give 1t call,
and be convinced that we have stated
facts.

Astonishing Feats Of Memory.

The Nature prints the letter Of cor
respondent who was struck with some
remarkable exhibitions OF memory that
he found in the hotels Of this country.
In some of them, he SAYS. many hun
hundreds Of persons dine simultaneous
lv in the same room. Before entering,
the guests leave their hats with 4 scrv-
ant standing at the entrance for the
purpose Of receiving them. The servant
does not check the hats or arrange them
in any particular order, and yet he
promptly hands each to the owner as he
returns from the diningrOom. The
most remarkable case noticed by the
writer was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
in New York. There the attendant, he
writes, sometimes has as many as five
hundred hats in his charge at one time.
Most of them belong to persons whom
he has never before seen. The owners
20 in and out in crowds. But, without
a moments hesitation, the servant re-
turns each one his own hat. He ex-
plains his ability to DO this by saying
that he forms mental picture OF the
owners face insi lie his hat. and that, on
looking at any hat. the wearer's face is
instantly brought before his minds eye.
There was a person who did remarkable
things of this kind at the Metropolitan
Hotel, in the same city. years ago. He
was very genteel and intelligent-look-
ing colored man, of middle age, who
stood in the broad hall or entrance, near
the dining room door, He was the
wonder particularly of many Western
ers, who were then in the habit of stop
ping at this house when in New York,
and his doings were one of the things
that they talked about on their way
home. More than once did they con-
spire to defeat or puzzle him by large
number hurriedly crOwdlng into the
dining room together, and at the same
time thrustingat him their hats, many of
which were designedly new and as near
ly alike as possible. But whether the
conspirators came from the dining room
together, as they went in, or in smaller
groups, or singly, the ready and self
possessed master of the hats promptly,
cOurteously and unerringly handed each
one to its owner, whose face he now saw
for the second time. These were un-
doubtedly unusual feats of memory, but
not necessarily feats of a remarkable
memory. They are more the result of
training than the exercise of extraordl.

they attempted to arrest him, by whirl-

to give up his weapon and surrender
himself, bu: in vain; whereupon the
detachment received orders to fire at
him with bla'.k cartridge, in the hone
of frightening him into submission. All
this while he was yelling at the top of
his voice, fouri>ling his hatchet, and
threatening to kill any body who should
approach him. Recognizing the impos-

How He Took II the Governor.

There is a good story told about town.
in which Governor Blackburn figures
quite prominently. A Maysville saloon.
keeper, Martin Grimes, was fined $3.50
at . recent term of the Criminal Court
for keeping pool table, ON which he
allowed minors to play, in violation of a
city ordinance. Martin was a Federal
soldier, and lost leg in the service of
his country. He has supplied the miss

Before going to the Governors mansion
he unscrewed his cork leg and left it in
the caro- of friend, and witha cane and
crutch hobbled into the Gubernatorial
presence. He told his story and showed
his honorable discharge from the army
"for wounds received on the field Of
battle" and was reading a long list of
Maysvillins appended to his petition
for remission, when Mrs. Blackburn
entered the room. Discovering that her
husband and the one-legged man were

back to the table. rose to his feet,

japanese Magic Mirrors.

Some very curious observations about
these mirrors, says the DepOir, have been
made by Professor r. w. Atkinson, of
the University of Toxic. They are of
metal, small, round in form and beauti.
fully polished. On the back are Japa nese
figures in relief. A ray of sunlight is
let fall upon the metal surface and this
surface is then turned toward a screen.
when the figures on the back of the
mirror are projected on the screen, the
parts in relief more distinct than the
rest. Professor Atkinson finds the fol.
lowing the the only possible explanation
of the phenomenon: During the process
OF polishing, the surfaces in relief natu.
rally receive a greater pressure than the
other parts. This pressure effects certain
molecular changes which enable them to
reflect greater quantity of light. "Be
this as it may" says the Devoir, "the
phenomenon has never been known to
our savants before the appearance of
these Japanese mirrors" The explana.
tiOn of Professor Atkinson seems wholly
inadequate; but who can give a better?

An Independent Barber.

Lord Augustus Lotus is now the
ruler of the Queens colonists in New
South Wales. Lord LOTUS, whose name
would seem to harmonic with his
temper, sent for a barber the other day
to come to the Government House in the
morning and shave his lordship. The
barber came in a cab and was detained
in the outer rooms until he sent word
that he could stay no longer. He was
then admitted and performed the SER
vice, for which he charged his lord
ship more than dollar. He complained
at the price as outrageous, and was
answered that "a hanson cab had been
waiting outside for an hour" So he
was paid. but next day on being sent
for, said, II can't CO." The messenger
could hardly believe his ears, and re-
peated his message, to which he gave the
same answer. HOl FOR stricken he carried
back the insolent minion reply One
of Lord Lotus sons was sent to the
saucy varlet to cleave the rascal to the
chine; but he confined his cleaving to
the chin, when the insolent knave told
him IL won't CO. The young man said
this was an insult to Her Majesty and
that he must take down the royal arms
from off his door. To which the basin
born barber replied that the Duke of
Edinburgh had given him permission to
put up the arm; and that he would see
Lord Lotus in lowlier, not to say a
hotter place than New South Wales in
January, before he would either take
down his arms or 60 On his knees at the

A Tremendous Spider Story.

A correspondent writes from Plain
view to the Chicago Inter- Ocean: The
following facts transpired on the farm Of
an honest old farmer, about two mile,
from the town of Plalnview: Last Mon
day morning, on entering his barn, the
farmer found, to his great surprise, his
pet bulldog and old cat and her kittens
suspended from the crOss.bcams in his
barn. On examination he found them
to be suspended there by cord about
the size of common wrapping cord. the
fiber of which much resembled silk, but
proved, however, to be spiders web.
At first he thought the kittens, which
were on the hay just above the beams,
had accidentally dropped into the web,
and the old cat, following the instinct
of her maternal nature and endeavoring
TO rescue them, had herself become en-.
tangled. As to the situation of the bull
dog, he thought he had been trying to
get at the cat while in her trouble. and
had himself to succumb to the same fate
as the cats, but he afterward came to
the conclusion that they had been
picked up by the spiders as they went
"oOu0 oSCAiuS "HOui luCS HiSHt uCNOuI.
The farmer went out to call in some
neighbOrs to witness the marvellous
scene, but imagine his surprise when, on
his return, he found sucking colt as
cending to the web, having been encir-
cled by two different fibers, one Just be-
fore his hind, and the other just behind
his fore legs, he was being drawn up by
the spiders. When the colt had been
drawn up five or six feet. a spider,
apparently we'll versed in physiology,
came down one of the fibers and began
boring for the spinal cord, Just between
the ata and the axis, as have seen
small ones do with flies. but the farmer
was unwilling to sacrifice the colt for
the benefit of scientific investigation,
and so he was rescued.
The spiders were then taken from the
iovecote and killed. One measured
three and one-half inches in length, and
weighed one-half pound. They are of
q dark brown color, with a light stripe
down their backs, strong, active and
ferocious. Several men of good repute
in this section are willing to testify to
the above facts.

Greeley and Long Writers.

Congdon says: When Mr.. f. G..
Stedman, who was then much younger
writer than he now is, and by no means
so well known, offered his poem about
Lager Bier" I remember that Mr..
Greeley was much pleased with it,
which was the more remarkable because
he probably did not know the taste, even
if he knew the smell, of the mild tipple
which Mr.. Stedman celebrated so melo-
diOusly. He called out from his den
that the poem reminded him Of Track
eray's ballad of "Bouille Baise''-a re-
mark worth repeating, not because Mr..
Stedman's poem is particularly like Mr..
Ihackeray's, but because it shows that
Mr.. Greeley was familiar with the great
novelist's best things. There was we'd
ding about that time which created much
sensation in New York society of GER
tain class, and which was very fully re-
ported and magnified and glori6ed and
commented upon in the New York
newspapers. 1t was called "The Dia-
mOnd Wedding" because the bride was
reported to have received most costly
gifts of diamonds. Mr.. Stedman came
forward with light satire upon fashion
able frivolities and unequal matches,
which was printed. The young bard
meant no harm, but he nearly involved
the newspaper into libel suit for which
there was not the least possible reason,
and himself in duel with the irate
papa of the bride, which would have
been more unreasonable still. Alas!
this was great many years ago, bnt
remember that we had no end Of fun ont
of it at the time. l cordially bear testi-
mony to the fact that Mr.. Stednan was
much pluckier about the matter than he
would probably be in like affair lust
now, since years have brought him mul-
tiplied responsibilities. literary reputa.
ton well worth nursing, and, if he will
pardon me for saying so, Just a little
more of the commodity called and known
as common sense.
