SPECIAL SALE.

tinue 80 Days.
Though Mr.. II. J. GILLEN has been devot-
Ing great deal of time and attention OF late
to the new grocery department of his business,
noticed elsewhere, there has been no neglect Of
the dry goods house. Rather, with the en-
largement OF the one comes the enlargement
and perfection of the other.
In the dress goods stock there have been
large additions of new goods of all descrip-
tons, among which special attention is direct
ed TO the lines of black and colored silks, vel
vets, black and colored cashmeres, brocade
goods for over-wraps; something choice in
new effects in black ottomans, Queens cloth,
Henrietta cloth, silk warp goods. In all lines
in this dress goods stock are new effects and
decidedly lower prices. This stock is com
pete and contains all fashionable and desira-
Bile goods.
The week has seen also immense arrivals in
TIE CARPET STOCK.
As this line of goods is Of peculiar interest
at this time, we can assure our readers that no
house in the city is offering line more rich
in variety of goods or desirable patterns in all
grades. The line contains at least 10, 600 yards
of all qualities: Wiltons, Moquets, yelyets,
ingrains-in short, everything from Il cotton
chain ut - cents to the finest 5-framc body
Brussels, making the best assorted stock ever
shown in the city. The
CURTAIN DEPARTMENT
l. one we are sure has never been equaled in
the county. The most extensive additions
have been made to the stock, particularly in
the way of goods for hangings and uphoster-
ing; among them being lace curtains, Turkish
damasks in new and exquisite colors and eff
fects, brocade satins in new colors, spun silk
goods, pushes in the new Havana, porcelain
blue and sunset shades, new cross stripes,
iutes, &c, from which the richest and most
fashionable effects are obtained Brass goods,
rods and fixtures, poles Of all kinds, and the
various materials for shades, complete the
stock all Of which are made up and hung
by the best workman in the city.
The carpet stock also contains, of course,
rugs, mattings, oil-cloths, and all housekeep-
ing goods, in their line.
THE POINT OF THIS SALE
Is the fact that having been compelled by his
repairs and improvements to delay the bulk
of his purchase until late he has secured the
advantages of the break in wholesale prices
caused by the general stagnation of wholesale
trade all over the country. In accordance
with his custom his trade gets the benefit OF
these reductions.
These reductions are bona fde. The bar
gains are real, and the sale will be as adyer.
tiscd:--a genuine 30 days sale of genuine
goods at &c n uine bargains; full value on all

The Worlds Greatest Iron Works.

The great iron and cannon founding
establishment of Herr Krupp at Essen is
constantly charging its space and per-
sonnel. In 1860 it contained but 1,7G4
workmen, and this number had increased
by 1870 to 1854, while at the present
time it is over 20, 900; if also the women
and children dependent on the establish
ment are included, population of 10
less than Go, 3S1 is gathered together, Of
which 30, 900 persons are actually living
in houses belonging to the works.
The various departments of the Krupp
undertaking are eight in number and
embrace the workshops at Essen, three
collieries at Essen and Bochum, 547 iron
mines in Germany, mines in the north of
Spain (in the neighborhood of Bilbao,
the smelling furnaces, trial ground of
II kilometres at Meppen for proving can
non, together with others at different

WISE WORDS.

To count but few things necessary Il
the foundation of many virtues.
A thing is never too often repeated
which is never sufficiently learned.
Our happiness and misery are trusted
to our conduct, and made to depend upon
it.
By general mistake, ill-nature as often
passes for wit as cunning docs for Wis
dom.
No matter how unworthy a man may
be, he should have our sympathy il he ID
suffering.
A great many people in this world
praise goodness, and then do as they have
mind to.
Recollect every day t. things seen,
heard or read which make an addition to
your understanding.-L Watts.
True wealth consists in health, vigo.,
and courage, domestic quiet, concord,
public liberty, plenty of all that is super
tluous. - Fene529.
No good or lovely thing e''sts in the
world without its correspondent dark
ness. The universe presents itself contin-
ually to mankind under the stern aspect
of warning or of choice, the good and
the evil set on the right hand and the
left
When it once enters mans head to
have an ambition to be thoroughly Graf
ty, all other evils ore necessary conse-
quences To deceive is the immediate
cndeavor of him who is proud Of the ca
pacity of doing SO.
