BriberY at Albany,

Assemblyman Bradley, of Cattarau-
gus, a well-known stalwart, created q
sensation on Thursday by rising in the
midst of the debate and saying
rise to question Of personal privilege.
l received last night $4,000 if would
vote for Chauncey NJ. Depew. l de-
posted the money with the Speaker and
now ask a committee of investigation. "
The Speaker aided the sensation by
holding up an envelope containing
money, which he said had been handed
him last night by Mr. Bradley. n stir
ring debate followed on the motion for
an iIIYGstig gatiUTI, MI. Tow, tn admins
tration Republican, of Niagara, reading
an extract from newspaper in which
it was charged that he could get $40, 900
or $50, 900 for voting for Chauncey M.
Depew. SSuch statement = assever-
ated Mr.. Low, striking the desk in
front of him forcibly, lis as false as
hell. y He further hinted that wit
ness could prove that two members
who voted for Roscoe Conkling on
Wednesday had been influenced by inn
proper means.
MI, Bradley is a wealthy oil merch-
ant, and first voted for Reuben E. Fen
ton, though he has voted for Conkling
for three or four days, The admins
tration people charge that the whole
thing was put up by the stalwarts to
defeat Depew, whose growing strength
is alarming them. The charge is that
the money was offered, or the scheme
originated by S. B. butcher, who has
long been a Conkling striker " and
who has the success of his master much
at heart. The "exposure did not
have the effect of reducing Depew's
vote, which went up to 50. An inves-
tigating committee was appointed.
The ballot yesterday for U. S. Sena-
tor was as follows: For the short term
Conkling, "a Wheeler, % Cornell,

THE SUPREME COURT of NEW
YORK has granted the order to change
the name of the corporation of "Scrib-
ner'S & Co." to "Ihe Century Co..
the order to take effect on the 21st Of
June The July issues Of Scribner's
Monthly and St. Nicholas will have the
new corporate imprint.
RECENT political events give especial
timeliness to the consideration of the
growth of the machine, and the most
effective way to smash - it. 1t is an
nounced that the July numbero of Serb
ner will contain the first Of a series Of
important papers entitled 1.-The Peo-
ple's Problem, /" discussing the subject
in a new and vigorous way. The wri-
ter, Mr.. Albert Stickney, is a we'll
known lawyer of New York City, and
though his remedies may be found rad
ical, they have the advantage of being
those of one who has given thorough
study to the subject in its historical and
moral aspect.
Mr.. HOwELLs, in resigning the edi-
torship Of ''The Atlantic" evidently
means to carry out his plan of devOting
himself asSiduously to authorship. He
has Just put the last touches to "a
Fearful Responsibility" which, although
covering as many as forty-two Of
Scribner's pages will be given complete
in two numbers of the magazine,
namely, those for June and July. The
scene of this story is laid in Venice.
Mr.. HOWELLs is now said to be busily
employed upon longer serial story for
SCRIBNER's MONTHLY, and has in
contemplation other literary enterprises
whose scopehasnotyet been announced.

CLOTHING!

Though we aim always to give our
very best and closest attention to the
purchasing of all the goods for our many
departments, yet there are some kinds
of goods which sometimes require
little extra scrutiny and carefulneSs in
their selection, in order to get the best
and most desirable. Nothing requires
this more than clothing. There is so
much shoddy goods sold as all wool, /"
and SO much poorly made, ill-itting
stuff i'll the markets that buyers have to
be exceedingly careful and particular in
making their purchases to get the full
worth of their money. We have always
endeavored to give to our customers the
best goods at the least possible prices. y
This is the secret of our success, and in
order to carry it out, we have given, if
possible, even more than our ordinary
amount of carefulneSs and attention to
this branch of our business, Of which
we are now writing, viz. :: Clothing.
Our purchases were made direct from
some of the largest, best and most reli-
able manufacturers in New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia. Every article
was carefully inspected by the senior
member Of the firm, assisted by one of
our most experienced statesmen, with a
view to quality, make, fit and style,
which, we feel, justifies us in saying that
we believe we have one of the choicest,
handsomest and most desirable stocks
of clothing for Men, Youths and Boys
ever offered to the people of Delaware
and Eastern Maryland. Our stock is
large and of great variety in style, price
and size, so that none, large or small,
old or young, rich OF poor need go away
disappointed. The following small list
will give slight idea (only), Of some of
our goods:
Mems Cashmere Suits, all sizes,
from $3.50 to $1,000
Youths 9 & 400 to 1900
Boys and Childrens' 200 to 500
We cannot undertake to mention all.
We most cordially invite all who want
clothing to come and see us. We will
do you good.

ALMOST every day, as we see by our
exchanges, some country editor breaks
down from oyerwork and, by the adj
vice of his physician, goes off to the
White Mountains, OF some other pop
ular summer resort, to recuperate his
failing health, and to pick up a few
pounds of flesh and a gallon or two of
new vigor. 'Tis well. Too many cOun-
try editors are working themselves into
early graves by searching through
countless exchanges for bright items to
transfer to their local columns, with
out credit, while some goOd-for-nothing
fellow is waiting for vacancy SO as to
marry the widow and live at ease on
the interest accruing from the EDITORS
bonds. An editor who will go deliber-
ately to work and break down his health
hv incessant use Of a pair Of scissors
and die before his time comes, perhaps
when his country needs him most, is
not doing his duty to himself, his fam
lily or his paper. When the gentle
summer time comes, with its vernal
beauties and fragrant scents of new
mown hay and village pig-pens, and
the county treasurer cashes the order
for legal printing, then it is that the
overworked nature of the country edi-
tor begins to assert itself, and he feels
as though he wanted to go off some
where and rest for couple Of hundred
years. He calls in his family physician,
who feels his pulse, looks at his tongue
and tells him that he needs rest, and
advises a trip to a summer resort. The
editor goes home, tells his wife, has his
night-shirt and an extra collar packed,
turns the scissors over to the ''boys, 2
pockets his railroad pass, and is off
with a mind free from 'tcopy," spring
poets and advertising agents. We think
we shall call in a physician to look at
our tongue, pretty soon.

FORKS n! SPOONS Q!
SPOONS FORKS

These are articles of such every
day household use, that few people
who handle them stop to consider
now troy arc made, or what
material.
With many purchasers, it satisfies
them to be told that the articles are
Of solid silver.
But it is not enough to know that
a fork or a spoon is made Of silver.
There are great differences in silver;
and there are all grades OfwOrkman-
ship in the making Of these articles.
Our Forks and Spoons are made Of
Solid Silver, Of the British Sterling
Standard.
This Is the only silver that will per-
fsotIY answer the purpose.
American Coin Silver is too soft, and
wears poorly when put into such every
day use as is required Of Spoons and
Forks.
Our facilities for making Spoons
and Forks in very large quantities,
and for purchasing entirely for cash,
enable US to sell these important
articles of table service at even
lower prices than people are paying
elsewhere for inferior ones.
In patterns and designs, our
Spoons and Forks present the
latest novelties, as we'll as the
most artistic ideas.
AZ with all our other goods, so in re-.
gard to Forks and Spoons, we invite
examination, comparison, criticism, and
approval orrejection, as may yseem good
to those who judge for themselves.

SPECIE is somewhat abundant in

last the National Banks held S122, ,628, :
562. This is 38, ,OOO,O 900 more than was
held at the date of their April state
ment, 1880. But, while this, immense
amount of specie indicates that the
country is quite healthy, financially, it
is not doing the people much good
lying in the vaults of tile National
Banks. Country editors never allow
their specie to lie that way. They keep
it moving, and do the lying themselves.
