AFlnS shoe Store.

Lemuel Mari, No. IL East Fourth
street, claims now to have the largest
and best fitted up shoe store in the
city of Wilmington, and those who
have investigated the matter find that
Mr.. Mari is backed up by the most in
contestible proof, that his claim is
founded in truth and justice Mr..
MARI career as shoe dealer has been
~ remarkable as it has been successful.
Prior to 1875 he had not been shoe
dealer but the panic coming on he
found himself out Of employment and
compelled to do something to support
his family no matter what it was, 80 it
was honest and respectable The happy
thought struck him that he was adapt
ed to the shoe business. To think vas
but to &C with him and it was but a
day or two until he had little store
opened In his house near Seventh and
Spruce streets BY being polite and
obliging, something he adheres to yet.
customers began to flock to him and the
| shoe merchant found that he had made
decided "strike" After three yeaIs
! OF success Mr.. Mari came up towE and
leased his present quarters on Fourth
his friends who said that the move
ment would be failure. Mr. Mari,
bo xever, turned deaf ear to these evil
prophecies; his stock was not large but
the store was, and he triel to do the
best he could to make show with
small stock and a large store. His sue
CESS was noted and continued. Mr..
Mari made improvements from time to
time and now his large show room &C
cupies the whole of the first floor. New
shelving has been put in, old shelving
painted and vanished, boxes labeled,
IN suort he has q place for everything
and everything in its place. His vari-
ETY. of sho-s is not excelled or even
equalled by any other shoe dealer in
the city, and now when people want
good shoes and cheap shoes they know
that Mari always has them. In short
Mari Is a success and his SUCCESS is
owing to his attention to business. po-
likeness to customers, keeping the best |
Of goods and plenty OF them, and by
making his large store attractive.
Mr.. MARI has no hesitation in saying
that much of his success is due to lib |
eral use of printers ink in such live. |

NEW YORK, March 3.-The attend
ance was again slim this morning at the
Garden. Hazael continued his tramp
without intermissiou for several hours,
from about half past four o'clock. His
trainers have been supplying him with
stimulantS pretty freely. Rowell
seemed to have the hearty sympathy
of all the spectators. At % minutes
past this morning he came upon the
track, after a rest of two hours and
seventeen minutes, which did not seem
to have the effect of refreshing him in
the least. After travelling three miles
he retired, and remained in his tent for
over an hour. Again coming out he
added another two miles to his score,
and then at 80 minutes past he again
went into his tent. Fitzgerald during
the morning had been been keeping to
bis schedule, and had rested but a little
over twenty-e.ght minutes from two
O'Clock until nine. He was very brighS
anu fresh looking.
Hughes, at % minutes past three.
came on the track after rest Of over
three hours, which seemed to have made
. marked improvement in him. He
then continued his journey for five hours
with short s'oppage. At 56 minutes
past nine there wa. slight commotion
around the entrance 10 Rowell's house.
In a second it he'd spread over the
Garden thar the little Englishman was
retiring from the race, and in few mo.
ments heappeared dressed for the street
and SUR unded by his trainers, pick
ing his way through the crowd. He
retires with 4l5 miles and $50 Yards to
bis credit. MIR. Busby went up to the
scorers stand and directed that Rowell's
name be taken from the blackboard:
While doing 50 Hu ghes was just passing
the stand, and AZ he heard tho order
his eye lighted up, his features broke
into broad smile, and he stepped AZ

chance OF Winning by pushing the En-
glishman 30 hard at the beginning Of |
the race that he could not hold out.
At the beginning of the sixth and |
last day, Hazael was Is miles and 4 |

the race, and II miles III front of Sulli.

Sullivan made only 50 miles today the
smallest record Of any owe in the race,
except the ~ miles aud laps M de by
Hughes on thu preceding day.
Hazael, with his lO6 miles and lap,
beat the bes: fifth day record. that Of
Noremac, by nearly two miles.
After midnight Hart enjoyed a hearty
meal on the track, while Sullivan was
in particularly j vial mood, e4hang-
ing compliments with men along the
fence, who saluted him as he passed.

A lively excitement was created
ameng the egg dealers of Washington

morning, undiscovered one which was
a natural curiosity. Within the egg,
which was Of the ordinary size, imbe l.

and perfectly formed, shell and all, as
a robins egg. The shell was of same

The whaelar Reflector.

Tie Wheeler reflector was placed on the
gas lamp on Exchange street, opposite the
Press office, yesterday, and proved quite an
influence in giving greater power to the light.
1t is claimed that these refectors give four
times as much light as is afforded by the gas
lamp without them, and arc thus, il desired,
more economical.
The system consists of entirely new and i'm
proved forms, made up by combinat ions of the
surfaces generated by the revolution of one or
more of the 'conic sections" curves which, as
all mathematicians know, contain valuable
and remarkable properties. THE combination
of the surfaces about common focus (the GEN.
ter of the light used) with such arrangement
as will produce uniform dispersion of the
rays over the area to be lighted, and also con-
structsd to intercept the rays which ordinarily
go upwards and off into space with no practi-
cal efficiency, and throw them, with the re-
maining volume, into the space desired, thus
utilizing all the light, is what is accomplished
by the use of these refectors. In other words,
this system of refectors, no matter where ap-
piled, saves the light which heretofore has
been wasted in space, and throws it where it
is wanted

Mr.. EDIroR:-W Winthrop Village has hither-
to rested peacefully between its two lakes;
Annabescook and Maranocook, until the rail-
road company took it into their wise heads TO
provide place of amusement for all the tribes
of earth, and thereby replenish their Golfers,
whereupon "peace folded her tent and quietly
fed away"
Your correspondent wishes to be informed,
why, when the aforesaid company, on their
voyage of discovery in search of suitable
spot for the above mentioned object, espied our
little village together with its lakes, did they
not, while inquiring the relative merits of a
certain tract of land, also inquire the name of
the lake which borders it, and gives it, its
chief value?
Now if. as, that jolly Portlandite exclaimed
with the enthusiasm of school boy, as he
clapped Payson Tucker on the shoulder 'This
is the best water that was ever padded in,' is
it not also worthy of its true name?
For the benefit of the uninitlated will here
give the Indian legend An Indian chief had
two daughters, Mara and Anna. Anna could
cook and Mara could not. Therefore the
chief gave the south lake to Anna. Anna
bescook, where can be found our famous white
perch. The north lake he gave to Mara
Mara-no-cook, no perch, nothing to cook.
Query-Where is Maran-a-cook? Ii it is not
too far away your correspondent would like to
visit it.
