A PERFECT PICTURE.
The Dry Goods House Of Malone,
Waller & Co.
In Fact, as in Name, "A Thing Of
Beauty"

Preparations for grand holiday
opening at the popular house Of
Malone, Waller d Co. have been in
progress for some days. Without any
hurry or confusion this and thatattrac.
ton has been aided until the arrange
ment is complete, and when the fiui sh-
ing touches were given the interior
at late hour last highlands full food
OF light turned on from the jets, the
effect was magical and II seemed like
the realization of poets dream.
Their stock embraces every thing in
the dry -goodssline and their selection
of fine goods surpasses, doubtless. any.
thing of the kind in North
Texas. These they have arranged i'm
manner to produce the most happy
effect, and the loOker-on is simply lost
ia admiration and forgets for the time
that he is not in the land Of fairies. A
pen picture Of the establishment would
give such faint idea of its
beauty that we feel It would
be an injustice to the
proprietors to attempt to paint It,.
Words are too weak, and the widest
flight of the most vivid Imagination
would scarcely equal the reality. To
morrow il their opening day, and
those who neglect to pay them visit
will miss a sight trat is well worth th'
| seeing

How the Millionaire. Came TO Marry
Relative Of HE.lisssa Eaeya Gr-
son.
From the New York Journal.
After reporting what was to be seen
during the first attack On Charleston,
s. c., Henry Willard came North and
made the acquaintance of William Lloyd
Garrison, and was taken to that gentle
mans home in Boston and introduced to
the Garrison household as a hero and
strong anti slalyery advocate. Here the
young man saw Miss Fannie Garrison, a
beautiful young lady, who was about
completing her education in a Boston
seminary. She was considered one of
the bellies OF Boston society, was pa
~triotic, bright. and though quite
young, thoroughly understood
the causes which led to the breach be-
tween the North and South. Mr..
Willard passed many hours in CONVEX
sation with the enthusiastic maiden be-
fore he again started for the front. Her
~vivacious manner and winning ways
bad driven from his memory the early
resolutions made before he sought his
fortune on this side of the Atlantic,
and the modest desire for q little cot
in sunny France with the dark-eyed
girl who had first inspired him with
the tender sentiments OF love, as his
wife. Never in all his travels in Europe
or in any portion of the West and
South-for by this time Willard had
seen much of the world-had he come
in contact with a soul which had so
thoroughly charmed him. Ho returned
TO the South fully determined to
keep her foremost In his memory.
When, later on, malarial fever contract
ed in the Southern swamps forced him
Egain to return North he was assisted
back to health by the tender sympath-
les and cheering smiles of the beautiful
Boston girl. Then he declared his love
both to the daughter and parents and a
little later he led her TO the altar. Since
his marriage Mr.. Wizards life has been
one Of unusual success.
To-day the once poor but ambitious
emigrant youth may be found surrounds
ed by q lovely family of children in a
grand old mansion bordered by parks
and lawns on the banks overlooking the
Hudson. near this city. The beautiful
young Eastern girl is just as charming

during the engagement, an amusing in

ttlghlanders were fitting companions
ior their brave husbands. Mrs. Smith,
the wife OF a private of the Ninety-third,
a washerwoman, were in one of the
tents which the regiment had left stand
ing when it marched to the battlefield.
The runaway Turks passed through
the Highlanders' camp, and one of them
entered Mrs. Smiths tent. She, being
2 large, powerful woman, resented the
liberty and deSertion by seizing the col.
lar of his coat and kicking him until he
was glad to break away from her,
