THE great dry-goOds house of A. T. Stewart &
Co. seems to have fallen into competent hands.
Messrs. E T. Denning & Co.. the new proprietors,
are young men who we're long in the employ
ment Of Mr.. Stewart and are thoroughly con-
versant with the way the vast business was con-
Quoted. With the prestige of occupying a we'll
advertised stand, they are moving to acquire all
the advantages of the old firm. They have
bought back the Glenham mills in New York,
where the cheaper grades of carpeting are man
ufaetured, and the mills at Nottingham, Eng
land where hosiery is made. The foreign rela-
lions of the firm being re-established, and
agencies are now opened in different cities of
France and England. In order to get back the
Out-0f-town trade, the firm have adopted the
novel plan of sending goods to all parts of the
United States free of all mall express charges,
upon receipt OF the order for them. This liberal
action on the part of the firm has proved strik-
ing success in the expansion of business, and in
the last two months the orders in the mailing
department have gone up from 200 to 1,5O0
day. The new firm, like the old, has a due APP
probation of the advantages afforded by adver-
Using, and their announcements appear in all
the papers.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat does not taHe
kindly to the change of name by Asbury Univer-
sity, no matter under any circumstances or
conditions. 1t says:
"The institution is distinctively Methodist.
and the sect in this country owes more to old
Francis Asbury than 1t owes to any one else. 1t
was he who labOred necessarily In the canse Of
the Lord, and moro than any other man brought
MethOdism from state of weakness to one OF
strength and stability. He Is the central figure
of the early days of the American church, and
his memory is held in affectionate regard, il th0
light Of which the proposed change must seem
very much like dissertation. 1t is but Just to
Mr.. DePauw to say that he proposed to found a
new institution. but that the trustees of Asbury
suggested that he should put the money there.
Mr.. DePauw will cover himself with more glory
by giving the money and leaving the name as it
is than he will by becoming party to depriviDg
Francis Asbury OF any of his hOnors."

The outcome of the Democratic State Con-
venton in Virginia is not regarded AZ wholly
satisfactory by the party at large. The alb
surdity of denouncing Malone and adopting
his policy in the same platform is so apparent
that even the Bourbons cannot ignore it. The
Boston Post says 1.-The democrats of Viz
gina may have trimmed their sails in the best
way to catch the popular breeze in the Old
Dominion. but they have not satisfied the better
judgment of the party in other parts of the
| country, or taken the high ground that their
past record gave us right to expect. either
the questions of the State debt. the tariff. or
internal revenue The Augusta (Ga Chron-
icle takes the same view and remarks 1--WE
trust that the democrats of Virginia know what
they are about, and have pursued the wisest
policy for victory. We wish them success in
this undertaking, although it looks a little
ridiculous to hold up Malone as Il monster of
infamy while making but small if any issue
with him on the great questions of the time"
The Virginia Bourbons have been congratulate
ting themselves that their convention was 4
great success. That opinion, it is evident, is not
very widespread in their own party.
