Why, the old upright chairs would give one a backache by merely looking at them. This is one thing, at least, in which wc moderns have improved upon our foretathcrs. To see how much we have done, it is only necessary to call at the extensive wareroonis of the Messrs. G. J. Henkels, Lacy k Co., at Nos. 1301 and 1303 Chesnut street.

Comfort was also given to that much-despised portion of humanity, the bachelors, that there was still a hope lor them in the trradual but certain reduction that was taking place in the prices of dresi goods, so that h would not be so terrified at the mighty row tHmirea that would a year or two ago frighten the unhappy husband on the presentation of his wife's drv goods bill.

Cotton goods were perfectly splendid for purchasers, but de cidedly ruinous to the sellers. Just to think of a pood article of Canton flannel at 20 cents per yard, and the nnest qualities at 31 to 37 rents; most beautiful Merrimac calicoes at 20 cent: and yard wide shirting muslin? at 23 cents.

Prlec & Wood, Dealers lu Dry Unixln, It has been said that, iu the square on E.ghth street, between Arch and Mai ket streets, then is more retitii dry goods business done than in the same space in any other city in the United States. The statement is certainly a very bold our, and would need some most convincing data to satisfy any one of its truth. Yet it is, nevertheless, a fact. The square is wholly de voted to the retail trade. There every day resorts the fashion aud tae beauty ot the city to purchase their '-fixings" to adorn their pretty selves. There is hardly au hour during the day, when the weather is at all favora ble, that the street is not jammed.
