LEAVING, THE LOCOMOTIVE.

dslay the inevitable pursuit little, and
give us a better opportunity to organize
our plans. The brakes Of the tender were
put on still more to diminish speed, and
the reversal was made. Here is slight
conflict of authority. The pursuers say
that the brakes were not loosed again; but
our engineers are equally positive that
they were. 1t is not material, for the re-
suit is the same. The steam power was SO
low, that though the engine moved back
it was with moderate velocity, and 1 saw
the pursuers reverse also, and coming to q
full stop, whistle two or three times as it
approached-a seeming whistle Of alarm,
though there was little in the approach of
our poor General to fear; and then they
moved slowly before it for a short distance
Till the two were in contact, when the
weaker stopped and the steam was shut
off. The great railroad chase was over!

Hardly need to tell you that
we're doing the bulk of the Dry
Goods trade in Milwaukee. 1t
would be surprising if we didn't,
and no one would be more surpriS-
ed than ourselves. People have got
into the notion that the big stores
offer advantages that the little ones
can not give. It's the right notion.
If that's not it what's the advan-
tage in being big? A store is big
for purpose. It's small for want
of purpose. We want that inn
preston to beEa lasting one. In
two or three weeks we will tell you
more on this subject; meantime
let the trade whirligig that's about
the store, keep your shopping wit
in good form:
A thing or 50 to set you think
ing of all
95 cents for Twilled Broadcloth worth sl.25;
so cents for Ladies Habit Cloth. which in the
usual way sells at eve;
s10O for silk warp Henriettas, worth sl.a5;
45 cents for fancy Scotch suitings usually Csc;
40 cents for wiry, springy Serge. but soft
enough to drape gracefully; worth 50 cents.
