d. weisbsln & Co. IS Grand Opening.

The grand opening of the above named
firm, which, according to previous an
nouncement in the NEWS, came off yester-
dav, was really a brilliant affair, and an
event of unusual interest 10 the gentle sex
of our city. The first object to attract at
tention was the magnificently decorated
windows, adorned to a degree of beauty as
to fully satisfy the most a sthetic. One of
these was dressed in laces OF every
description and name, while in the
centre stood the figure of a
lady handsomely clad, and displaying in
profusion fine Spanish silk lace, which at
tracted general attention. The other was
filed with all kinds and descriptions Of
embroideries, and In its centre also stood
the figure of a woman dressed in the latest
style, and all her clothing of deliberately
embroidered articles. 1t was the universal
verdict that even Worth, the celebrated
Partisan dressmaker, could not have dis
played more skill or taste.
The interior of the store presented equal
~ as handsome an appearance as did the
outside, and In this respect the opening OF
this well known firm was in marked con-
trast to New York openings, where
all the display is outside, while within
our most fashionable and beautiful ladies
thropged the spacious esta lishment
throughout the day, giving 1t the appear
ance more of a gay ball room than a dry
goods and fancy store. The work and taste
displayed in the arrangement Of the various
articles were really beautiful, and It is no
wonder that the attention OF our gentle
readers was so much attracted thereby.
We are not sufficiently well versed in
dry goods and fancy technicalities to de-
scribe each of these articles by name, but
such a mass of beautiful embroideries has
never been seen in Savannah, while In one
cluster alone were forty-fve different styles
of elegant insertions, each apparently pref
tier than the other. OF lace edgings there
was apparently no end, while the
centre OF attraction were beautiful but cost
ly handmade laces. Point and Duchesse, at
S4, S., Sc aud $40 per yard, besides, real
Point and Duchesse collas, 6chus, barba,
scarfs and handkerchiefs. A number OF
imported lace dresses for children also
proved the delight Of the many mothers
who were present.
Space does not permit US to go further
into details, but the enterprising proprietors
and the army of attendants are to be con-
graduated upon their success and the skill
which they have displayed AS the opening
will be continued until the end Of the week,
we have no doubt that every lady in the city
will avail herself of the opportunity offered
TO view the beautiful goods on exhibition
certainly they will lose much if they fail to
do so,

THE KNIFE AND PISTOL.
An InsOlent Negro Cuts a Watch
man and Is shot.

About quarter to two O'Clock yesterday
afternoon VIM. O'Hearn, who is employed
as a Waterman at the store of Messrs. Solo
mon Bros, on Bay street, to keep parti S
from carrying of articles from the ruins,
had lively little encounter. He noticed a
Swapping negro loaing about the place, and
suspecting that he was prowling
about for no good purpose, ordered
him to leave. The fellow refused to go,
aud became very insolent and threateniL g
in his manner. Mr.. O'Hearn then gave
him a gentle push 10 accelerate his move
ments, when the fellow quickly drew q
large dirk from his pocket and plunged it
into his left breast Just above the heart, in
fl.cting a deep and dangerous wound, from
which the blood flowed freely, completely
saturating his clothes.
Mr.. O'Hearn, though surprised by this
unexpected and sudden sanguinary assault,
drew his pistol as the negro was retreatin !,
gave him one barrel, the bullet striking the
fellow In the back near the shoulder, aud,
It is supposed, he is badly hurt. There
were very few persons about at the time,
and the affair was so sudden and occupied
such a short time that the negro managed
to escape. Mr.. O'Hearn was conveyed to
his residence, on Indian street, where he
lies in a dangerous condition. Up to late
hour last night the negro had not been cap
tured.

A certain rich, parsimonious gentleman,
on being taken to task for his uncharitable-
ness, said: "True; don't give much, but If
you only knew how 1t hurts me when l give
anything, you wouldn't wonder. l am in
hopes to feel different when / inherit
brother Bill's property. Then l will go to
the Famous and buy me nice suit of
clothes, for hear they are running off all
their winter suits for very little money.
You know they are the leaders of low prices;
they believe in quick sales and small profits;
one price; all goods sold for cash, which
enables them to sell at small profit, for a
credit business requires a good collector,
who must be as patient as a poet, cheerful
as a duck, socisble as flea, bold as a lion,
weather proof as rubber, cunning as a fox
and watchful as a sparrow hawk. They
haven't a man capable of filling the situa-
ton at the Famous New York Clothing

The under jawbOne of the whale, which

Lotta Cook, drifted over on Tybee beach
Yesterday. Some idea Of the size of these
monsters may be formed when it is known
that this bone measures fourteen feet in
length. Il was quite curiosity to many OF
the Tybee residents, but the odor from IL Is
fntoIerabIe. and they would gladly be rid of
r. on that account, and efforts will be made
to start Il seward.
1t is so pOnderous that q number OF men
would be required to move it, and the task
of handling it is not inviting.
