We have just completed another
large purchase OF Dress Silks, which
we are going to offer to our out-of-
town customers until February goth,
1884, and after that time we presume
that what remains will soon be taken
up by our city trade.
we are told that in January and
February Silks We're bought by our
selves and other large buyers for less
than the amount of duties which the
importers paid the government. This
was a very disparaging thing for the
manufacturers and importers, but a
grand opportunity for the people, so
long as it lasts, and one which we ad-
wise our patrons to take advantage of
at once. This Is the last large sale of
Silks which we will be able to make
this season, and probably this year.

4 Curious Geological Formation.

In what is known as the Orange noun
tain, New Jersey. within fifteen miles Of
New York City, the opening up Of a
quarry has brought to light counterpart
OF the famous Giants Causcwav, in Ire.
land. Indeed, Professor Cook, of the Geo.
logical Bureau of New Jersey, declares
that this American series of columns of
basaltic trap rock surpasse> in extent and
geological Importance the Irish causcw;v.
The formation is evidently due to repeated
volcanic cruptions that forced the trap rock
while in molten state, through the old
red sandstone upon which it now stands.
The columns are from IS to 40 feet high,
as perfectly cut as ii nodded in forms, and
owing to their heNagonal and pen.ayonal
shapes, are considered by biologists to be
OF crystalline formation. This curious
freak OF nature is attracting .r.a, deal OF
attention from all parts of the country, and
tens OF thousands OF people will in time
paya visit to this American prototype of,hc
famous Irish Giants Causcwav.-Dtmo.

Now that the result Of the election Is
usually known thirty-siZ hours after clos
ing the polls, one can not but contrast
this rapidity with the slow movement Of
news In the days of Jackson. Mes Reg
iStsr Of November %, 1928, (three weeks
after the electiOn), gives careful resume
of the various States, and concludes thus:
sHThe result of the election wall probably
BE- I7S for Jackson and SO for Adams"
This state Of things is more clearly
shown by the following letter written by
the old hero to the citizens of Lynch
burg, and which also copy from Niles,
the italics being my own:
HERMITAGE, December g, 1924. GEN
TL.EAIEN - have received your letter Of
the 22d ult., presenting to me the con-
gratulations Of my friends in LynChburg
and its vicinity, and inviting me, in their
name, to pass through that section of
country on my way to Washington IN
the event of my election.
So lively an expression Of regard for
my character and service as that which
you have been pleased to convey on this
occasion, is received with every senti-
ment of respect; and beg to offer in re-
turn for it the grateful assurance that it
would afford me great satisfaction, were
It probable that 1 could comply with it.
But as shall feel myself bound to await
the complete attainment of the election,
before make any arrangements on the
result; and, then, In the event of my
election, would be compelled to take the
most expeditions route in order to reach
the city by the 4th Of March, the pleas
ure of paying you my personal respects
must be postponed to some future
period.
I pray you to accept for yourselves
and present to those you represent the
assurance of my respect and high con-
sideratiOn, and believe me, very sincere
", Your Obedient servant.
