Bountiful harvests make the
rich days of the earlier Au-
tumn the Golden Days Of the
year.
Additional interest centres
at this period with the advent
of such new merchandise as
the needs Of the season and
the active researches of mer-
chants bring together, from
points near and far, in this and
other lands.
1t is, therefore, quite proper
that our September occasion
for this wear should be called
Golden Days.
The Store is to be made
very attractive by bringing in
to close company with the new
goods the sentiment Of the sea
son. Myth, fable and ancient
custom-the fruits of field, or
chard, and garden-Aowers
wild and cultivated, and var
ious decorative devices have
been brought into close har-
mony with silks. pottery and
hangings for your qualification
when you come to visit us.
And you must come during
the Golden Days. You'll find
the store dressed in the COM
ing color-yElIO7O. Within the
centre door, Chestnut street,
you will find long grape ar
Dor, with leaves dark and sere,
and overhead the rich cluster
of grapes; next beyond an ap-
pie tree, bearing golden fruit,
and where the centre aisle and
transept cross, the Roman god
dess Ceres presides over horns
of plenty.
AS you pass through the
store the decorations every
where tell you the Autumnal
story of bOuntiful nature: and
you'll wonder how the ponder
Gus pumpkin, the stalwart
stalks of corn, the rich, full
sheaves of grain, the marvel
Gus vegetables, the great
clusters of fruit were collected
for the Golden Days. They
tell Of many vegetarian tri-
umphs. Many a farmers
heart has been bound up in
these things, and many a far
mer's Pocket-book has been
the fuller for the prize.
The color of the store is
golden. The thought comes
from the golden corn, the PoL-
den wheat, the golden fruit, the
golden squashes and pumpkin.
What a touch it has with the
golden merchandise, polished
brass and stuffs for dresses and
house decorations!
The arts of agriculture find
wonderful illustration in the
Basement, near the Thirteenth
and Market streets corner. In
the first century of the Chris
tian era rude reaping machines
were made in Italy. Queer
things, pushed by an OK. We
have tried to reproduce one of
these things and have placed
beside it a modern reaper of
the best sort. In the contrast
you may see the progress OF
nineteen centuries
This occasion would be quite
deficient without the old Eng
glish Harvest Home. That
finds a place in one of the Fur
niture Galleries on the third
floor. Stairways and elevators
to take you up-no end OF
them. tits a sort of Cyclora-
ma, with just a hint or two Of
the way the Harvest Home
was kept in merry England:
In the next gallery is a beau
tiful exhibition of some new
conceits in decorative Furni
ture.

A DEMOCRATIC SENATE,

With the democrats secure in control
OF the popular branch of the govern
ment, the house OF representatives, for
two years from the fourth OF next
March, and with every indication point
ing to the election of democratic pres
ident and another democratic house in
1882, the possibilities of gaining control
OF the senate are the subject of interest
ing speculation and comment. When
the Idaho senators take their seats a
few days hence, the senate will have a
membership of eighty eight. divided by
parties into fitty-one republicans and
thirty-seven democrats. This gives the
republicans majority of fourteen until
March 4. On that day a great change
will take place. The terms of the fol-
lowing senators will expire:
Allison, of Iowa; Blackburn, of Ken
lucky; Blair, of New Hampshire; Brown
OF Georgia; Call, OF Florida; Cameron
OF Pennsylvania; Eustis, of Louisiana
