son, bill poster, established his agency
in this city to aid in the recovery of
lost children.
Mr.. jackson who is gentleman of
humane impulses was moved to provide
this agency through the distress OF
parents over lost children, and from the
distress of children who wandered
away from home and We're too young
to tell the names of their parents.
AS proof of Mr.. Jackson's hui
manity and kindness, we have only TO
state that he opened his house as an
asylum, and has steadily refused to
accept compensation for his trouble,
though it has often been offered.
From the time Mr.. jackson opened
his asylum for lost children up to the
present da:e, lacking two days Of seven
years, 957 children varying in age from
IS months to I years, have been cared
for until they could find their parents.
Since the first of January last IS

one who comes across lost child
takes it forthwith to his residence, and

Monday:

A daily ramble throughthe
store discovers some new
thing of interest somewhere.
In summer and winter. at "the
heightot the season" or when
business lags, there is still a
steady stream of new goods
coming in that keeps every
point fresh. Many of the
hotels on the continent are
named LIE Quatre Saison,"
or Hotel of the Four Sea-
sons, and this store might
fifty be called the store of all
seasons, inasmuch as the
stocks are not suffered to run
down, though unexpected
sales often clean out certain
things entirely before we can
duplicate them.
Our constant aim and ef-
fort is to forsee the move
ments of trade and keep up
the stock every day alike, so
that customers may rely on
finding at all times what is
wanted. Each department
is under strict command to
keep up a perfect assortment,
and if it is not at the counters
SOMEBODY'S at fault.
Our customers could not
do US a better service than
to drop a postal to us at their
convenience when they find
our stocks deficient.

and the request was granted.

THE TRADE DOLLAR.
Action or tho Banks and Othe,
Places OF Business,


For several days past New York and
Philadelphia spectators have caused a
furry in the trade dollar, and as a con-
sequence the banks, telegraph Offices
and business men in general have re'
fused to accept them upon their facs
value, while the speculators have been
buying them up at So cents apiece.
The news soon spread from city to
city Of the depreciation Of the trade dol.
lar, which created such a furore through.
out the country about u year or two
ago. The news reached this city last
week, but no action was taken by the
banks, Railroad G Companies and Others
until yesterday, when the officers ofthe
steamer FELTON, refused to accept them,
This morning the order was given along
the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company not to receive the ill-fated
dollar, and persons who presented one

pany soon followed suit, and in q short
time after the banks opened, small
piece Of paper was posted at the Receiv.
ing Teller's window "no trade dollars
received" A number of business men,
influenced by the action of the banks
have also shut down on them.
In conversation with a prominent
bank official he stated that there an.
peared to he disposition this time
among the spectators Of New York and
Philadelphia to crush out the trade dol.
lar from our midst, and with that OBJ
ject in view all public institutions are
joining hand in hand.
A number of business men were inter.
viewed on the subject, many of whom
said that they would be guided by the
oanks, and II the banks refused them
they would do the same. Mr.. Belts at the
Adams Express Office stated that he rs.
cieved and paid them out this morning,
until he learned that the banks had re.
fused to accept them, when he issued
orders to the same effect. That will no
doubt be the disposition of many others.

ray, of No. 8 French street, said he was
afraid of them, but would risk twenty
Wales 8 cent cigars on each one The
workingmen were not consulted as to
what they would do, hut if all the mer.
chants refuse to accep: them at par
value, they would he robbed of heir
hard earnings if they continue to re-
ceive them.
There are quite a number of persons
who think the whole thing a piece of
bold speculation, and the kings of Wall
street and the shrewd speculators in
Philadelphia and other large cities will
amass fortunes by this action, and in
less than thirty days the trade dollar
will be received AZ heretofore.
They also say that our merchants
should continue the circulation of the
coin as heretofore. for, as far as intrin.
SIC value is concerned, the trade dollar
IS really worth more than the Bland
iollar, and Congress, at its next session
should place them on an equal footing
With the Bland dollar and further trou-
Die would be averted.
