FOREIGN.

LONDON, July 3-One effect of the politi-
cal upheaval in England has been the COM
plete rehabilitation of Gen. Sir Peter Lums-
den, the late Afghan frontier commissioner,
and his elevation to a greater degree of royal
and official favor than he enjoyed in his
palmiest days before. Less than a month
ago he was scurrying home across the whole
breadth Of Europe and half Of Asia in obe-
dienee to an unwelcome recall, and scatter
ing along his path such Objurgations and
maledictions upon the government that the
Liberals loudly demanded that he be
cashiered There was moreover no lack of
desire on the part of the government to in
tiict that disgraceful punishment, and there
is every reason to believe that the blow was
only averted by the fear that it would make
him martyr, and be interpreted as an act of
trucking subserviency to Russia. Wednes-
day night Sir Peter was graciously enter
tanned by Queen Victoria at dinner at
Windsor Castle at which the only other
guest was the Marquis of Salisbury. This
unusual honor was supplemented by letter
said to have been written by the Queen her
self, in which she expresses warm admira-
tion for his conduct in the management of
British affairs in Central Asia during most
critical period. The heaping of these honors
upon Sir Peter is hailed with delight at the
Tory military clubs, where it is regarded as
deliberate and significant expression of dis
approval by the Queen of the attitude of the
Gladstone cabinet towards an officer whom
she dnli0btS to honor

| Large Dry Goods Establishment

A Large Dry Goods Establishment.
Yesterday afternoon the reporter cap
tured the head salesman of the immense
dry goods establishment Of Devareux,
Rogero & Son. and had him to act as
pilot through the various departments.
The store room is one of the largest and
best appointed business houses to be
found in the state, having a width of
forty-five feet and depth Of seventy
five feet, with shelving on either side
and in the center, affording ample room
for the large stock always carried by this
firm. On entering the main entrance on
the right the first department the custo-
mer reaches is the dress goods, where
can be found all the latest novelties in
this line. Here white dress goods, silks.
and in fact anything wanted for plain
or combination suits can be found, Of
both imported and domestic goods. Adj
joining this is the white goods depart
ment, complete in every detail, and
bolts on bolts of goods are closely pack
ed together. Across from this, on the
center shelves, is the ladies underwear
department, where everything new can
be found, and there are enough corsets,
hoopskirts, bustles, ETC., to supply several
counties. Nearer the front is the lace
department full of the latest novelties,
and buttons and trimmings to suit every
conceivable taste. Adjoining this is the
glove and hosiery department, supplied
with large quantity of goods from ordi-
nary to the very finest. A very large
stock of ribbons and notions are also
shown. The west side of the store room
is devoted principally to clothing and
gents furnishing goods, boots, shoes-a
department very complete, in which a
speciality is made of ladies and childrens
fine shoes, hats, trunks and valises,
umbrellas, carpets, mating ETC., in fact
there are too many goods to attempt to
mention them in detail The firm keep
themselves thoroughly posted as to all
the latest novelties brought out, and fire.
quently have the goods on sale as early
as the retail stores in the northern cities.
The establishment in size and complete
ness will compare with any in the state,
and is a credit alike to its enterprising
owners and the city.
