Military Notes.

The American Rifles have decided
that as they could not well attend to
the reception of General Torbert's re-
mains and make their proposed trip to
Atlanta, Ca, the latter should be given
up. At a meeting of the First Battalion,
last evening, Col. Macallister reported
that the remains Of General Torbert
would be brought from New York to
Philadelphia by an escort, and would
lie in state in the latter city, from
whence they would be moved to Milford.
The Battalion will meet the remains
either at Philadelphia or at the State
line and escort them TO Milford.

Americana, as a horse car is there
called. The distinguishing name oil
the shop, to the exclusion Of that of
the firm, is placed over its doors, and
in most cases the name given CONVEYS
no idea whatever of the goods to be

may buy her boots and shoes, at the
Infant Jesus she may procure her
furs. The Faithful Shepherd. the
Lion in Love, the Little Bride. the
Gross of My Mother, the Good Devil.
the Little st. Thomas, and many other
signs equally curious, ATTRACT the eve
at every turn, creating in the mind of
the average woman a strong desire to
enter the shop thus singularly named.
If she yields to this feeling, nothing
can equal the politeness with which
she is received. Several attend
ants spring forward at once to inquire
her wishes, and as soon as she is dis.
covered to be English or American.
the English clerk of the dc.
partment devotes himself to her Ser
vice. he takes her about the shop.
he shows her all the newest goods,
he tells her their prices, translated
into dollars or into pounds. And lest
ly, he advises her to come apail ON a
certain day, perhaps in the following
week, when he can sell her a fifteen
franc silk for nine francs a metre.
These grand sale days" with which
ne thus makes her acquainted. VIII. n
the entire contents of the shop are re-
duced to the lowest prices, occur in
the large stores-principally at the
Magazins de Louvre and the Bon
Marche about two or three times in
the cours Of the year. Iii is then that
the economical FrenchWoman. or the
foreigner who has learned the Gus
toms, makes tbe greater part of her
purchases for the season.

French or English newspapers with
which the large centre table is strewn.
Pen, ink and paper are also provided
for general use. A large picture gal
