"Mail Order Department."

To those who have not and do
not anticipate leaving we would
say there is in every branch Of
business many lines of goods
which must be sold in August,
and as a house carrying no goods
over from one season to another
must close out these lines while
in season, we shall now devote
our entire attention to such lines.
These goods we shall bring
forward from time to time, as
the occasion demands, and mark
them at such prices as will COM
mend themselves to the public
as exceptionally good values in
every sense of the word. Mean
while all the "Odd Lines" which
were reduced and not entirely
disposed of will be held at the
prices previously advertised, and
are well worthy the attention Of
the entire trade as genuine bar
gains.
National Republican., 1885-08-03

We now consider ourselves
between seasons, and feel it in
cumbent upon us to again thank
our patrons for their most gen
erous response to the special
sales inaugurated by us, and
assure them of our most earnest
appreciation.
We fully understand that to
sell unsatisfactory merchandise
is to "sell" the customer; hence
the cardinal principle of our
business: "Whatever you buy
of us not proving entirely salts
factory, return it at once and we
will cheorfully refund the price
paid"

ADVICE FROM CALIFoRNIA.-The Sec.
retary Of the Navy is in receipt Of letter
from Oakland, Cal, written by an indi.
vidual who offers suggestions as to new
vessels for the navy. He says: "For
the steel plating on ordinary steamers the
regulation army hard tack may be sub.
stituted. The great imperviousness Of
this to water, and the immense resistance
it offers to all attempts to break it, are
too well known to need any comment.
guarantee that the hard tack plating
will protect the ship from any serious in.
jury.
"The offensive side must be carried on
in an entirely different manner from what
it is now. The ordinary army mule must
be brought into service. The power of
the demure.looking animals feet is sim.
ply immense.
'For coast defense l would suggest
that by act of Congress all the people
within certain distance from the coast
be compelled to keep Limburger cheese
in their homes for about month. At
the end Of the required time a great
quantity of the cheese should be made
and spread along the coast. II this will
not drive away any vessel that would
come within 'nose.shot,' so to speak,
then let that nation have the country,
and we will retire to the north pole.
GAS regards the Apache difficulty,
think the government should engage
Nine. Patti to sing to them. 1t is an
old saying that Music hath charms to
soothe the savage breast But, per.
haps, the music Of a rifle ball is the best

"VICTORY!"

Our expectations fully realized. AL.
though in the extreme eastern part of
the city, our trade has extended north.
west and southwest to equal any. What
is the cause Of it? We can tell you.
We have never advertised one item that
is not in our stock. We always have a
good quantity to select from. We make
specials of certain lines that no other
house can get, and our prices are above
reproach. See what we are offering for
the next week:

That 5000 Deficit.

The paais Royal advertised that the sales

thanks to the hearty and spontaneous reply

the deficit, but beat July of last year by $3.50.

came when he did, but many of them
will not depart when he does, not be.
cause they are unwilling, but owing to
the limited condition of finances. There
has not been an hour since the Presi.
dent took his seat that these people have
not manifested the deepest regard for
his health, and his going away will
make them extremely sad. Some want
consuships, and others will be satisfied
with offices of state importance. Some
who wanted nothing but good paying of.
fees are willing to compromise and
take anything now. The next week will
be to them one Of anxiety and impa.
tience. They will make every attempt
to reach, and induce the President to do
something Tor the good oil the country by
giving them good positions.
The local aspirants for the District Of
fees will also regret the Presidents de-
parture. For four months they have
waited and worried for him to do some.
thing.
There are half dozen offices to fill,
and there are great many candidates
for some of them. 1t is generally be.
lieved that the President will not make
any appointments for this city until he
returns from his vacation a month hence,
and he is reported to have said in con,
versation with friend that he did not
propose to make any more changes ex.
