It is astonishing to see the great numbers of

periodicals are cast broadcast over the land, and
do their mission of good. Everything that is of
value that is produced lu the Old World is repro

ance theie. Speaking of books and works of
General interest, we would call attention to the

This eompletes our tour of the south side of
our main business thoroughfare. Retracing our
steps to the river, we again start, taking in our
journey this time the
NORTH SIDK OP CHESNUT STREKT.
The first establishment in order is that of
J. J. Kromer, Dealer In Fancy Articles.
Patent medicines, the mPrits of which have
often been tested, aud not Iound wanting in
any essential as sale remedies; fancy articles
of all sorts and kinds to please; periodicals of
the choicest literature loreicrn and domestic.
John J. Kromer, No. 403 Chesnut street, has an
establishment tilled from floor to roof with all
that can please, with all that can cure, both
bodily and mentally, with all that can gratify
and educate. Christmas presents in great
abundance; an assortment of the very best of
holiday elections.
Health is necessary to happiness. Ill-health
is misery and horrors untold. You who are
Buttering with bodily pain, bear in mind tbe
unequalled merits of the medicines here to be
Iound.
"Vou who are suffering from mental debility,
from lack ot mental gratification, t ike notice
that here can be foun t all the most popular
works of literature. Mr. Kromer is apent fur
Dore's illustrated Bible, which surpasses any
thing ot its kivd. Mr. Frderick it. Adams has

taucy articles and hair-dyes for those who
boast of shining tops. Call and make an exami
nation. T
Richard Fcnlxtn.il, Dealer lu Unadulte-
ated Liquors.
Who b;ii not heard of I'euista'i ? Not to have
heard of him is to argue oneself unknown.
Perhaps there is no one tinn that has been m jro
successtul in their way than Mr. Penistao,
whose ttore and warehouse, at No. 43i) Chesnut
street, is constantly tilled with those who desire
pure and unadulterated liquors, at a reasonaole
price. The visitor to this pi are can see large
quantities of every kind of liqtior known to
mnu. The finest winef, the most cost y bran
dies, and the most sparkling ales, are here
in profusion, and the connoisseur and the epicure
cau each go away satisfied, both lu palate and
in pocket, alter a visit to tins place of popular
resort. The establishment does not depend on the
a:d ef music or the other outside adornments to
entiauee its attractions, but only on the oneness
and good quality of all that is sold. A glass of
tho sparkling old ale, as it conies up from the
vaults built away don benea'.h the
level of the pavement, is r refreshing
draught, and a giase ' of the spark
ling Catawba, as it glitteis and flashes in the
light, gives a new zest to the appetiuj. In cases
oi slcknes.s, the liquor obtained at Pcuistan's
can be relied ou for being pure aud harmless.
The visitor would be richly repaid for a visit to
this establishment by a view of the many con
trivanees that are availed off to add to the com
fort and convenience of the employes. To give
a description of all that is worthy of notice
would be almost too difficult a task, and we
wonld ask the reader to go and ee for himself,
at No. 439 Chesnut street, opposite the Pot
Office.
McCallums, Crease it, Sloan, Manufac
turers of Carpeting.
The first and most essential thing that a good
housekeeper looks to in first taking to house
keeping, is a good earpet. That is, as it were,
the ioundation. In olden times, when the pol
Ifhed oaken floors rang with the iron heels of
the knights and retainers, or the rude earthen
floors ol the peasantry echoed the rnde tre.td
ot their possessors, carpets were unthought ot.
Sometimes, indeed, a matting of rushes would
be used as a sort of covering to hide the
inequalities of the floor, or to break the soun t
of tne footsteps of the inmates. But it belongs
to the modern nations to carry our floor cover
ings to their highest p.tch of excellence
and beauty. To be sure, the Eastern
countries and especially Turkey and Persia,
turned out from their looms the most ravish
ingly beautiful fabrics, that for a long time were
considered inimitable. But now the inventive
mind of the more civilized and enterprising
nations has improved on even thoso fine speci
mens of skill and patient work, and we have
cam ts of home manufacture that can compare
in durability, fineness of texture,' and beauty of
coloring and design, with any that can be pro
duced in the world. In our own city we have
at Germantown a manufacturing concern thaf
turns, out most exqui.-ite patterns ot carpets.
Wo refer to the Glen Echo Mills, whose pro
pnet re, McCallums, Cn ase & 81oan have their
wholesale rooms at No. 509 Chesnut street, and
their retail store at No. 519 Chesnut street. Any
one deeerving a good, curable, and cheup article
of carpeting had better give them a call,

Kockhtll & Wilson, Clothiers. ..
The clothing business Is the one that seems"
best to adapt itself to tho times. Within the
past few years there seems to have been a re
generation of the whole trade.. A tew years ago
we saw none of the palatial clothing-houses that
now tower alolt in all the beauty of Plctou,
brown-stone, granite, or Iron. They were, or
former'years, hardly more aspiring than a three
stoned brick, . and were mostly confined to
Market and Second srreete.' But now the most
enterprising of them are entering into Cbesnut
street. The MessM. Bock hill & Wilson have
one of tbe finest stores in the city, Nos. 603 and
05 Chesnut street. The building itself i of fine
Plctou stone, and is one ol the ornaments of the
. street. .. -..-.- -
Oo entering th eye is greeted with the most
complete and tlf nLt agHortmeut f everything
in tbe gentlemen's clothing Unc. Every possi
ble shade and quality are displayed to the curi
ous 'eye. and one naturally is at a loss to mnke a
selection as he looks aronnd upon such an
immense variety. But if he inquires of the
obliging sa'efmen, who are1 around in such
numbers, he will be as equally surprised at the
cheapness of everything. Indeed, the motto
of the firm Is "quick sales and small protits,"
and well they carry it out In all their dealings.
Every one can find something to suit him, both
In material and in price. The ploughboy, or the
poor hard-working mechanic, or the wenlthv
man of fashion, can each go away satisfied with
their experiences.
Perry & Co., Clothiers,
proprietors of the "Great Star Clothing Empo
rium," No. 609 Chesnut street, above , Sixth,
at the sign of the "Star," have on hand a largo
stock of ready-made clothing, the best quality
of cloth, and the latest styles, coats of all sizes,
heavy and light, broadcloth, beaver, cassimere,
etc. coats in number to clothe all. Young
men, old men, and lads can here obtain warm
ing coverings of goodly appearance of finest
qualities, suits of clothes, of the latest and most
taMcful colors, perfect fits, and moderate prices.
Perry & Co. have lonn held the enviable repu
tation of the most thorough ot fitters, the best
of cutters, and have the best of workmen.
If there Is anything that does detract from a
person's personal appearance, it is a coat that
draws in at the back, a choke tit about the neck,
a wrinkled front, skirts that stick out in every
conceivable direction an irrepressible coat
skirt which pinches, and chokes, and prevents
tho wearer irom bending over without fearful
danger of a split. Messrs. Perry & Co. have
always had the skill to manufacture one of the
best tits man ever wore, and thuv always guar
antee entire satisfaction to those who order at
their establishment. We wo'ild advise our gen
tlemen friends to take immediate steps to have
their wardrobes replenished by ordering at
Perry A Co.

robes In the most economical manner take the

warm and durable clothinar. : . . i .
There is kept on hand at all times a full stock
of fashionable, ready-made apparel for gentle
men, worked up from the hnest materials, in
the most substantial manner, and which Is soil
ing at the lowest possible rates. They have
asceitaiued tho regular prices of all the leading
clothing establishments, and buying in tbe most
profitable manner by quantities, are fully able
to put their prices below any in the city.
II any gentleman de-iirc9 to secure a well-made
and stylish garment, let him visit No. 625 Ches
nut slieet, and thereby receive groat profit to
himself.
Fairtll, Herring &, Co., Manufacturers
of Safes.
The inventive mind has found no mor fruit
ful field for its operations than the develop
ment of the lire and btirglar-prnol sa'e. So
essential to the general BtUety and sneurV.y of
tho business man in nil bw operationa have"
thesn guards against loss become, . that toe
patent sate is ot national importance. Origi
nally the chief aim was to render it tire-proof,
without any reference to its capabilities to with
stand the eiidrts of burglars to force entrance
into it. Now to such a piteh of perfection has
the manufacture ot safes arrived, that alt the
ansof the most accomplished burelar, atded
with the most perfect i ils, are unable to force
their invulnerable shells.
There has lately been invent jd an exceed
ingly hard metal, that has been named the
"Spiegel Eisen." It is so bard that, not even the
finest-tempered cast-Meel can make aiy Impres
sion upon it. This metal is used to form the
outside plating of tho burgiar-pr ol do ir of
tbe Messrs. Forrell. Herring & Co.'s safes. Of
its etlicacy the acoount ot tbe altempced rob
bery of tbe Kent National Bank, of Kent, Ohio,
is a most striking example. - The bink was
entered on the 3d of Inst month. Tbe burglars
succeeded in torcinc the outer ilre-proof door,
but the inner or burglar-proof do r. which :vn.
laced wiih tho -Spiegel liieen," deled t'l sir
utmost etlorts. Arter tbe robbers left, (he oiti
ceis of the bank pot an experienced safe msnu
Jacturer to open their sate, whici had been
damaged to some exteut. It required three
men. working jor thirteen hoiirs, to open th
door, liesldes its burglar-proof qualities, the
Ileinnp safe has been knowu to sustain th
most ii.ter.se white heat o' burning buildings
or hours, Hud even days, wituout injury t iti
contecits. At the company's o'lice, No. 629
neenui street, ine curious visitor can see some
of these salamanders that have stood a fiery
baptism in safety.
Fairbanks & Kwlng, Manufacturers of
Scales.
"An incorrect scale will gnaw the very
vitals out ot an apparently prosperous busi
ness." This is a tact that every business man
has fully tested when he settles Lis books, and
finds small leturns lor tbe navine oat of krnn
quantities of produce. In order to be success
ful in a grocery store, drug shop, wholesale or
retail establishment of any kind, you must have
a pair of scales thit wiW not eheat yourse'l or
your customers. The great difficulty with bnsi
nef men is to find a pair ot scales that can be
rcl ed upon, and which will not want constunt
repairing. Fairbanks & E wing have long en
jojed the enviable reputation of being the best
and most reliable manufacturers of every kind
of scales, irom one that will weigh with the roost
exactness a Bmsll particle ol gold, to one that
can be used in giving the true weight ol the
most bulky ai tides. .
Wekrhojasiers' beams and frames, with books,
bottonis, etc., complete tor every description of
weighing, tine gold and druggists' scales, in
great variety, for brokers, jewcllws, banks, etc.
Let all business men immediately look to the
correctness of their scales, and if found want
ing, cast them aside and buy those of Fair
banks A Ewing's manufacture, which can be
fully relied on. Be cautious in jour purchasing,
for the well-earned merit of tboe scales bus
caused the throwing upon themurketot a multi
plicity ol imperiect and worthless ones under
the name of Fairbanks' scales, but whioli are
spurious and entirely unworthy ot attention.
At the warehouse, No. 715 Chesnut street.
Masonic Hall, these valuable and reliable
buiances can be seen, and obtained if desired,
and alto a pamphlet, with diac ranis of the dif
ferent modldcations of these scales, in great
variety. Call aiound and make an examina
tion, and you will find that tney are the best
balances made.

Shades and Curtain Materials.
There are some persons who seem to shut
themselves up within their domiciles as close as
hermits, and grudge the ouL1de pedestrians
even the glimpse ot an open door. They sur
round their gardens with high dead walls, and
favor the French shutter system, which enablci
them to close their windows against the glances
of tbe outside barbarians. There are others
who seem to have consideration lor the tired and
weary perambulator, and present something to
cheer his vision. We are in our journeying
day by day greeted with some of the most beau
tiiul flowers, shrubs, and costly tropical fruits,
the property of the heirs ot one ot our wealthiest
and most lamented citizens. A conservatory,
crowded with the choicest specimens, is open
to the view ot every passer-by, and many a lover
of the beantiful in nature pauses on his or
ber way to cast a look spon their beauties.
How kindly every , one lecls towards those
who show so much regard for i tho
stranger, and for his feelings I Perhaps there
is nothing that adds such attraction to the
exterior of a dwelling, or any building, as the
adornment to tho windows. If they are not in
good taste, they detract Just as much. The In
terior, to be sure, is the main thine to be looked
after, but still there is something due to outside
appearances. It is Just as if a man were to store
his mind with tbe richest gems of literature,
anJ clothe himself In rags and filth. Whit is
more beautiful than the neb draperies that can
be found in such in Unite variety at the establish
ment of Messrs. Kelty, Carrlngton & Co., No.
723 Chesnut street ? Every taste, even the most
fastidious, can be suited, and, what Is of equal
importance, every pocket can be also. Furni
ture covering ol all kinds coverings lor shades,
and everything of that nature, are to be seen in
endless varieties. Tbe looms ot all countries
are here represented.
