Among the Cotton Dress
Goods yesterday were some
hundreds of pieces of a single
sort just brought into the for
ward stock. Clerks were busy
selecting the duplicates and
stripping the papers from the
pieces to be shown. The sam.
pie pieces had hardly appeared
before successive ladies were
asking in tones of decided in
terest.
Are these the new Bran
denburgs?"
Yes, Madam" was the
quick reply to each.
The oft-repeated question
started others. Isn't it quite
strange that so many know
these goods instantly? How
very remarkable that among
the fine distinctions of light
printed Cottons, this one sort
should be SO readily known?
1t as strange and remarkable,
but after all, natural. On the
9th of April last year the Bran
denburg Cotton Dress Cloth
was first introduced to the
civilized world through our ad-
vertisement. Never was worthy
merchandise more quickly well
coined, and the advertisement
was widely advertised by quo
tahons in the reading columns
of some of the New York pa
pers for which we received
credit and through its use by
dealers for which we got no
credit, but the flattery of imi.
tation.
The Brandenburgs were a
grand success. Other Cotton
stuffs sold at a similar price and
claiming kindred merits were
quickly limPing. The clear,
hue printing, the strength, the
lightness and the cheapness-
20 cents a yard-were to great
a combination to be beaten.
The lesson from the over
heard question is instructive.
1t teaches that the women of
this city are close observers,
that an appeal to intelligence
is not lost, the good meTchAn-
disc at right prices is appre-
ciated, and that well put adver-
tising is impressive.
Evidently many have been
waiting for the Brandenburgs.

Atlanta Constitution.
When the Constitution some months
ago proposed that the South institute a
business boycott against the North In the
event that the Force bill became law,
there were many to endorse the PROPOSE
tion and many to laugh at It. Even some
Of our esteemed Southern contemporaries
raised their llly-white hands ia horror at
the suggestion, aud yet the substantial
andor orsement that IL received enabled the
Constitution to carry out to perfection the
plan 1t had in view. 10 ecompl she'd
precisely what 1t 81 artod out TO accom-
plish. and 10 is natural that we should
regard the boycott as quite feather IN
the Constitutions cap Under the cir
cumstances, we may be pardoned for
briefly referring to the mattsr here.
When the boycott suggestion was made,
public opinion at the North was in a
state Of profound torpor so far as the
Force bill was concerned. The business
men-the conservative elements-were
not interested in the fate OF the bill one
way or another Ii they discussed
tie matter at all, It was in passive
way. Il was piece of political legisla-
tion affecting the South, and they were
not interested in the outcome. Such
was the situation. SO far as any serious
expression or opinion was concerned, the
whole North might have been Judged 10
be ia favor OF the Force bill, aud It Is
certain hat the partisan Republicans
we're pushing that infamous measure in
the belief that it met the wishes OF a
msj0rity of the people North II was at
this iuncture that the Constitution
brought forward It's boycott proposition
II was intended not only to test the
public opinion Of the North, but to pre-
cipitate discussion and to give the people
Of that section an idea Of the real nature
Of the bill, and Of the real extent Of the
opposition Of the Southern people We
need not say that the purpose Of the
boycott suggestion was successful. That
Is A matter OF history. IL aroused the
attention Of the whole country, and
the Force bill became the subiect of
discussion in the counting room and
10 the business places Of the North
The sentiment of opposition that. really
existed fiared into action as II torch
had been set to train of powder, aud
the fact was soon made manifest that
the conservatives and business elements
of the North were unanimously opposed
to the infamous measure. Opposition
that had been passive became EctiVe and
when election day fell, the Northern
people gave the Republican party
touen Of their temper from which that
organization will not soon recover.

Latest Ruse OF the Lazy Partisan to Bleed

An eXpedient resorted to by an ingen-
ious female swindlcr in Paris for eX-
torting money has, been very successful
of late. The woman, says the London
Telegraph, provided by nature with q
ple;lsing countenance, and dressed with
care, went from house to house. When
she had presented her card for the
master, or, better still, the mistress of
the house, and gained admittance, she
related, with all the appearance of
genuine distress, tale Of woe, the ele-
mcnts of which were husband who
had deserted her, family from whom
her marriage had estranged her, and
pressing need OF G2O or $50 to stavc off
diShopor.
In nine cases out of ten the applicant
met with q refusal, whereupon, throw
ing the right note of despair and des-
perate resolution into her attitude and
voice, she announced her determination
TO commit suicide, and, suiting the ac-
tfon to the word, drew q bottle labeled
Poison" from her pocket, the contents
IF which she began to drink.
This, it seems, in most cases produced
the desired effect. Bat it will probably

CAST-IRoN BRICKS.
An Ingenious Invention In the Line OF
Building Material.

An Ingenious Invention In the Line OF
Building Material
Most Of the building materials now.
In use have been employed with greater
or less skill for thousands of years.
Since primitive man discovered the
adaptability of stone, wood and burned
bricks composed of clay and sand for
house-building, no equally useful build
ing material has been added to the list.
According to the American Furniture
Gazette, q German mechanic has recent
" patented an invention which has Ger
tainly many advantages over the old
fashioned brick of clay, though use may
not prove it to be in all respects supe-
rior.
Its practical design and ingenuity are
characteristic of the modern tendency
of inventions 1t is in the form and of
about the size of an ordinary brick, but
is composed of cast-iron and is hollow.
The shell is SO thin that the brick
weighs less than one made of clay A
wall is built Of such bricks without the
use of mortar, and no skilled labor is
required in laying them. The upper
and lower sides of the bricks are pro-
vided with grooves and projecting ribs,
which fit into each other easily and
perfectly and form wall of great
strength.
There are also two large circular
openings in the upper side of each brick,
arranged so as to receive projections on
the lower side of the brick that is to be
placed above it. One of these projec-
tions is hook-shaped, which insrlres
solid hold. A wall of the bricks is very
quickly put together. ...ra .a..'
After the wall is built it is covered
with paint. This closes all the cracks,
renders the wall alright, and prevents
the bricks from rusting. BY the use of
good paint the wall can be made highly
ornamental. The bricks are very dura-
bic, and building made of them is per-
haps as nearly fire-proof as possible.
A wall thus constructed can be taken
down or rebuilt as readily as it can be
put UP. There is no mortar to be re-
moved, as there is when clay bricks are
used. A house with such walls is cool
in summer and warm in winter, for the
large air spaces prevent the passage of
heat
With a supply of such bricks n man
can put up his own house, and be en-
tirely independent of brick-laycrs. NOR
tar-mixers and hod-carricrs. If ne does
not like his house, he can take it down
and build another with the same mate.

FsaDEsG ACT

The expediency of some legislative action by our assembled solons, relative to the Congressional Funding act de- serves consideration, if the Territory proposes to avail itself of the benefit of the act, if any there be. Not denying the power of Congress to legislate in a supervisory manner concerning the af fairs of the Territory, yet the question able shape ill which it comes, ian amendment to the Revised Statutes, :" and such amendment never having been enacted by the Territory,-it will not be amiss to suggest that the Assembly take proper action to remove all am bignity, and afiirmatiyely approve and adopt the provisions of Congressional act; and especially 50, as this act was ''approv5d and confirmed, subject to future Territorial Legislation. With out discussing the legal intricacies and difficulties that may arise in the nego- tiation of the bonds, as matter of pol icy, to forestall all bubbles and en- nance the value of the security, would it not be preferable, by direct legisla- tive assent, to assure tine purchasers of the bonds that the indebtedness was assumed voluntarily by the people of the Territory, the Assembly being the only body legally authorized to make such an assumption. This certainly would be within the purview of the Legislature, extending as 1t does to ''all rightful subjects of legislation, not inconsistent with the constitution and laws of the United States. " At least no harm could result, while the market value of the bonds might be improved 1 by confidence strengthened by the same having been issued with the consent and approval of the people of the Ter ritory, through their legal representa- l tives
