PHILADELPHIA, July 81, 1851
Linen lawns at remnant
prices. All our printed linen
lawns are down FIVE cents a
yard, the finest seven-and-a-
half; IS to 80 cents now. We
could not buy in the whole
sale market for IS cents the
lawns we are selling at is;
the same of the 20, IS and 80.
Clearing out. Can afford to
lose a little.
Our linen is linen, remem-
ber-you never get cotton for
linen here. Our colors are
fast-been tested, every one.
You can safely buy by beauty
OF printing. What comfort /!
BY the Telegraph Office Mt Tie foot of the Ar
cade steps.
Cotton lawns, S and s cents,
are about as pretty a little
way off, fast colors also-a
little coarse, but not so coarse
as the prices. The s cent
lawns are I2H cent lawns.
But for beauty, every sort
OF summer beauty, look at
batlste at 10 cents. Batiste
is a finer lawn; not so loosely
woven; but the thread is fine.
Two grades Of batiste, I2H
and 10 cents. The l2H has
heavier thread, more sub
stantial fabric; 10 is sheer and
delicate.
Northwestern the CENTRE
Pepper-and-salt, two shades
OF gray combined BY mixture
and mixture-plaids, in a fabric
mostly of wool-about a quar-
Ter cotton-a pretty travelling
dress, a very practical dress,
$3.50 for the dress pattern,
two thirds of its value.
Quite a similar stuff in a
way is mohair plaid, more
color-variety, I2H cents a
yard; the wholesale price was
81.
Northeast from the centre.
Why do you buy your mus
lin underwear rather than
make it or get it made? Be
cause, we suppose of these
reasons. First, it costs less;
second, you have a great va
riety set before you, you can
easily choose what suits you
best; third, you avoid the risk
OF inventing or copying;
fourth, you avoid the risk of
cutting and putting together;
fifth, you think you get what
you want, and next day, if
you change your mind, you
bring it back and get what you
want-all the difficulty, doubt
and danger are taken away;
and your money goes further
besides.

It is said that Washington was the

In common with other Delaware papers
the GAZETTE has printed gratis the
summary of analyses made by the State
Chemist, DIR. Wolf, but we agree with the
Milford Chronicle that, as the State
chemist is employed ut liberal salary to
furnish this information to the farmers,
the State should not expect the news
papers to lay it before them for nothing.
The statement has certain news value,
and is of very great Importance to all
the GAzETTE's agricultural readers,
and for that reason we have done our
share towards placing it within their
reach; but, while doing this we heartily
endorse all that the Chronicle says on this
topic, and especially these concluding
| sentences;
| II is a beggarly business for State that
brags on its financial standing to be always
compelling poor newspaper men to work
| for il for nothing. If ii is necessary for the
| farmers to know the result of these analy-
| ses, the State should make the phosphate
men pay for its publication. 1t makes the
insurance companies pay for publishing its
| statement, and this business should be on
| the same footing.

The salary of General Grant from his
recent restoration to the army closes with
his life. The trust fund raised some years
ago mainly under the auspices of George
Jones, ESD, of the New York Times, is
invested in Wabash railroad bonds under
guarantee for 10 years of the estate of
the late Hon. Z. d. Morgan. The income
from this is now about $4,000 year,
but as the bonds are greatly deprecated
and the guarantee has but about six years
to run, that income is not likely to last
beyond the expiration of the guarantee
Mrs. Grant will probably have about $780,
000of property inh erown right. Inaccord-
ance with established precedent Congress
will almost certainly add Mrs. Grant to
to the list of pensioned widows of ex-
Presidents, which now includes Mrs.
Tyler, Mrs. Polk and Mrs. Garfield, who
receive annuties of $4,000 per year dur
ing their lives.
