j, I. Mullin Il Son at sixth and Mar
Bet streets still maintain their DO itIon as
the popular clothier1 of his city. Tht ir
establishment is the largest aud best ap
pointed in the State, while their facilities
for manufacturing clothirg are not ex-
celled by any, and equsled by but few,
even In the large cities. The greater part
OF their goods are bought direct rom the
manufacturers, for cash, consequently
this gives them advantages such as are
not enjoyed by those who buy from job.
bers, on time. They furnish employment
TO large number of hauds, and the same
care is exercised in making clothing for
stock, as with that Tor custom work, con
sequently their goods are vastly different
from the ready 'made clothing that comes
here from the Philadelphia factories,
which is scarcely more than bastcd to
gethcr, aud liable TO rip or fall apart the
first time 1t Is WON. Mr.. hulln has been
engaged in business at his present locA
tion seven years last fall, and during that
time has by fair and honest dealing built
up an immense trade, which however Is
not confined TO this city, but extends
! through tho entire State into Penn
eylvania, aud down the peninsula.
:
ment is devoted exclusively to the sale OF
ready made clothing and the huge stacks
Of oyeTcoAts, coats, pants and vests in
every part teem sufficient 10 clothe every
man and boy IN the City OF Wilmington.
There Is clothing Of all sizes, to suit all,
and supply all with suits, and OF every
grace Of material, except shoddy, which
is never used or permitted In this estab-
lishment. The prices are remarkab low
conside' ing the quality OF the goods, and
hrss class dr1 IS suit can be obtained foI
a small amount OF money. The second
iloor is used for custom work, aud the
many tables are piled with rolls OF cloths
and cassimeIes, from which the customer
can make his own select
At one end OF this room is the cutters
department, where several OF the best
cutters 10 be obtained are kept busy con
tinually In attending to customer work.
The mandatory is on the fourth floor,
and is filled with hands, whose busy
i gers are actively employed In putting
together the different aItic es OF clothing,
fashioned by the cutters. The firm fur
nish employment to about one huodred
bands, aud 1t Is an exible rule That all
work, whether custom, or for stock, mus,
be made in The very best manner. Thit
room, the same as the store, and tailoring
department on the second floor, is "a by
10 feet, and like them we'll lighted and
ventilated. They have man continually
travelling taking orders, which with the
immense trade they do In this city keep
them busy at all seasons, and enablcs
them to retain their hands, some of whom
have been with them Tor years, the year
through.

Americans Abroad.

Some of the Americans who visit
Europe are such odd personages that
it is not to be wondered at if they give
the people they meet a queer idea OF
our nation. Some of these are very
fond of boasting that they come from
a part of our country where currants
are as large as grapes, grapes as big
as plums, plums the size of peaches,
peaches like melons, melons as big as
great clothes es-baskets, and other things
to match. Others complain if they can
not have ice-water and griddle-cakes
in every European city they visit;
while others again are continually
growing because walters and drivers
expect small fees, not considering that
at home they not only pay much more
at hotels, and for carriage hire, but
sometimes are expected TO give fees
which are ten times as much as the
poor people of Europe are accustomed
to receive. | once saw an American
girl, whose patents had become very
rich since her education had been fin
ished, who was walking through the
galleries of the Louvre. She had been
looking at some pictures by Raphael,
all of which represented the Virgin
Mary, and turning to companion she
said: Il do believe this painter must
have been a Catholic!"
But such Americans are not true rep
resentatives of their country; and it

quainted abroad.-Frdnk r. Stockton,
