Davenport and Morey.

w ASHINNTON, Oct 24th.-lt is thought
here that John l. Davenport's object is IL
hold back his threatened pamphlet on the
Morey letter as late AS possible, so that its
leading statements cannot be denied before
election day. The whole thing was offered
to mem hers Of the Republican Congressional
committee fng two thousand dollars, but
the ot1-r WIS refused, as it is not regarded
as of any political value at this time. Mr..
HUhbell, the chairman of the committee,
is reported to have said that he thought
Davenport 5 expose was s. about four years
too old to be of interest one way or an
other" The pamphlet will he issued from
New York by the Republican State cam
paig gn committee. Copies of it will be
mailed to all of the Republican daily papers
of New York, as well as IN other papers
elsewhere, under the promise that it shall
not be published until fixed day and then
it shall appear in them all at the same time.

The Farmers Fire insurance Company
OF York. Penn.

This is the only fire insurance company
OF the titty-Seven companies Of other
States licensed to transact business in
New York State that is conducted upon
the mutual principal. 1t was organized
i'll 1853, nearly thirty years ago-a ster-
ing instance that the mutual principle in
fire risks is not Incompatible with security
and economy when applied with skill and
prudence. Those qualities have been ex
erclsei by tine management of the
Farmers in Il surprising degree. and the
result has been the most perfect success
The cross assets OF the company at the
close OF 1881 amounted to ::iG3. Al. its
premium receipts to 5226, l16. and its to-
tai income to :212, SIS whilst its losses
were $l34,1l9. slightly h excess of half
its income; bat on the first of Jauuarv
lSS2, it had Il net surplus uf SITS. 800.
On the whole tie COMPANY made net
profit ul the business OF 1851 of :l3. 10l .
which. although apparently small. is a
profit of comparative n Ieatness when it is
considered that OF the fifty seven COM
panics OF other States transactlng bust
ness in New York State twenty-five made
losses aud the profits of fifteen othel S
were under $4,000.
In the uperintendent's Chart, which
contains the .Jateme is Of the companies
for the six months Of the current year

Sented As having added 500. }JS to its
gross assets, and 42G,5il.Gfl. whilst the
six months premiums and LOSSES present
a favorable relation to each other. an aa-
vantage enjoyed by very few com panies

WANTED, PUBLIC SPEAKERS.

| !an orator, like poet is born, and not
made, Still II very successful and ser
y:ceabie public speaker can be made by
| judicious training and constant practice;
and many born orator is developed
whose talents might not have been other
wise suspected. The present difficulty
Of the political committees everywhere
i'll securing campaign speakers will per-
hahs have good effect on our pduca,ion-
al institutions, in shown. that the pub
lie speaker is still in demand; that men
| wit the power to move an audience are
still sought tor, notwithst anding the gen
eral substitution of the newspaper for
the personal speaker.
in many of our colleges and schools
the best opportunities for acquiring pow
Ell in publie speech are afforded by stu
dents debating societies. Such clubs
have Inherent advantages over any other
method Of education in this branch. They
throw young men on their own resources; :;
they do away with the restraint or super
vision; they encourage readiness and force
of speech, and they afford that without
| which nothing else whatever is of any
avail-practice, constant practice. We
know a young man who, when he entered
college, had no good qualities in his
speaking save earnestuess and pluck, but
who. by constant exercise and training,
became, before he left college. one of its
best speakers. and within year after his
| graduating from the theological seminary
was called to the pulpit OF large, cul-
tured and critical city church. OF course
no college or school must depend entirely
upon such societies to give training in
this branch of art. Personal drill by a
! good teacher will do much; class exercise
| under the eye Of a professor who under
| stands his work will do much, and in.
creasing attention has of late years been
given to this branch in most of our col
leges.

TOf TWO years, perhaps, we
have had the richest, largest,
mostvaried andmost eNhaus-
tive collection of dress-goods
in Philadelphia. Before that,
we may have had the largest,
and even the most exhaus-
tive, but perhaps not the
richest. The slowest trade
to come to d new merchant
is the trade of luxury. 1t is
the slowest to change from
one to another. But it does
change.
We may say our dress
goods of all sorts are at
about their highest now.
Second and third circles southeast
from center.
Silks of all sorts have
come; and never we're silks
more acceptable. And these
words have a meaning here
beyond any they could have
elsewhere; because of the
greater variety of wants that
look to us for supply. We
must have all accepted styles,
and all the approved quail
ties of those styles; and, as
to colors, can you think of
one that we can do without?
A store that has only one
class of trade can get along
with comparatively few silks.
Which stock would YOU
rather buy out of?
Next outer circle south entrance
10 main building.
L WO damask towels at IS
and rs cents may serve to
show what we gain by buy
ing of the makers. The very
same towels are in the whole
sale trade in New York at
about 2I and p cents, which
means at least 25 cents at
retail.
We are not going to say
that all our retail prices are
below New York wholesale;
nothing of the sort. More
than one swallow to make a
summer. But where such
towels are to be got for IS
cents is a good place to look
for bed and table-linen, and
all the other linens. That's
what we mean exactly; it's
true, too.
Outer circle, City-hall square entrance.
A very wide and surpris-
ingly good navy-bluc twilled
flannel for SO cents; 45-inch.
DO YOU remember a az
cent flannel for IS cents, of
which we had $4,000 yards
last fall? Afterward we got
1000 yards more of it; and
a little of it is left yet. That
is 23-inch. This wide flan-
mel is fully as good as that.
Third circle, southeast from center.
All the warmer sorts of
underwear are ready; for
men, women and children;
thick-cotton, merino, wool,
and silk. All the sorts need
ed for all sorts of people
with all sorts of notions;
and, for people who want it,
there is quite a little wit
about underwear to be pick
ed up at the counter. Where
else would you look for it?
Not in books surely; for
goods are changing all the
time; and SO get ahead of
books.
