THE EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1868.
CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Baum & Co.'s Nbw Btoke. If there b nj
one point of difference, any ono prominent
feature In which the cities of the Old World are
htlnfruihed from those in tb New, it Is In the
character ol their stores. Over the great water,
In London and Furls, or Instance, the storei
even of firms of wo'ld-wide reputation, doiusr
business on tho grandest scale, if not eiactlj
limited In exlep'i, are poor, worn, and dingy In
appearance. There you may frequently find
beneath a low-browed Iront, uninviting,
tloomy without a vestige of paint,
the fflces of a house employing
hundreds of clerks, keeping busy perhaps thou
sav.ds of workmen, and exporting annually mil
IVons of dollars worth' of goods. Here, on this
-Hide of the ocean, we seem lo entertain different
pinions in regarJ to the style, structure, and
appearance of our places of business. All oar
lariie cities contain specimens of store architec
ture that would put to f hanie the most preten
tious in Europe. Our men of bubineas seem to
have Initiated a spirit of rivalry in this respect
to engaee in a coutcbt as to who can build
the most palatial and extensive of stores and
e lavlnh of money in procuring marble fronts,
broad plate b1ss window, and costly adorn
ments. The discrepancy existing betwpenour
stores and those ot the older people across the
water is one that escapes no traveller's eye.
But the contest goes still iunuer. It is all
owe tided as far as regards Kuropc. The f ict is
at once conceded that we far surpass her In this
matter and we have no trouble lu suo-Untia-ting
oiir claims to superiority. She readi y
acknowledges that the New goes ahead ot the
Old World in the tearing of ruagniQcent edifices
devoted exclusively to the purposes of trade.
hoi content with this graceful surrender to us
as a nation, our men of business must needs try
to outvie each other; and Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New Orleans ettcu
advanre claims and arguments in their support
to possess the most gorgeous, costly, and ornate
ot business structures. Modesty would perhaps
compel us, as rhiladrlphlans, to yield tho palm
of tuperlonty to either ot the cities named,
while yet we may think, and that honestly, too,
that our own city could justly bear It off. Were
comparison to be made, we doubt not that
even the Metropolis ot the Western World,
as New York proudly styles herself,
would have to recede in our favor,
and Broadway back down to Chesnut street, in
the number of superb business structures they
relatively contain. Be it as it may. aud grant
It g that the victory is still uodecided, the
Quaker City makes no reel in eflorts to outdo
tnem all; and within the past few months many
ot oar firms have erected aud opened stores tor
tbe carrying on of their busiues. which could
well match the best anywhere in this country,
and which, lor beauty in design, grandeur of
architecture, substantial character, and con
venience of construction, compare with any in
the world. Tbis growing tendency to five and
six storied bu I dings, marble or grauite
fronts, and lofty rooms, may easily
be accounted for in the case of
large manufacturers, where looms, engines,
saws, lathes, benches, and what not, are re
quired in countless numbers and diversity; but
it may tax the ingenuity of many to discover a
reason why jewellers, w?ioe business it seems
may be confined in the smallest comoas, should
follow hard lu the footsteps of the others, and
run up structures almost squares in extent, em
bracing apartments upon apartments, loug,
broad, and high. But so it id. Hardly has one
well known Drm on Chesnut street opened with
a glare of brilliancy a store which seems to pre
clude the possibility of a rival, before another
firm, equallv as welt known and euorgetic, lays
the foundation, erects tho walls, marbles the
front, glasses the windows, and frescoes the
ceilings of another that, it may be, puts Into the
hnrit thn former.
Pnr ii'ftnv months rnsttheold firm of Bailey
k Co.. iewelli rs. lone established on Chesaut
stree, between Eighth aud Ninth, has been
pushing vicorously ahead the completion ot a
tore at the sou' beast corner of Twelfth and
Cbesnut streets. It is now finished, and to-day
is opened to the public. No expeune baa been
murpd in its nnluff up. and its owners can
proudly boast that it it does not top off all other
stores occupied by parties cniragcd in a similar
business, it at lcait stands lank aud rauk with
lho hpst.
Rloiner in macntflcent proportions to the
Wffht. of five stories it covers the entire depth
of a lot reaching to bansom street. In width it
is 44 feet. Constructed in the main of brick, its
face glistens with the purest ol marble. Air,
lt .ht. anrtsnretv are evervwbero through it.
Myriads of windows open on theTwelith street
BldC, really BO many in uuiuuer iuut me uarruw
strips ot wail oetween tnem appear Dareiy capa
tole of upholding the massive roof above. Not a
sintrle lire for warming purposes is to bo found
in the building. The heating is all done by
means of the steam-pipe arrangement a vast
network of tubes ramttving the whole place. Toe
tructure is fire-proof from cellar to eaves; lu
every detail the most guarded precautions bare
been taken to protect the wood woik and com
bustible portions. So thorough have been other
measures of precaution, that an iucendury could
hardly nna a place to appiy ms matcn.
There are several entrances to the building.
the principal one, of course. beinjr on Chesnut
street. This is truly majestic, receding Jike a
vestibule, highly nuiunea in carvca wooa work
of black walnut, the edges of the plate glass in
the windows whiCh flank its sides rimmed with
silver, Us pavement pretty with cubical blocks
ox varigatea marDic, ine entire noor ot me
main store is laid with these sam3 cubical
blocks. From the flagstone without you
immediately tread hard upon the marble within.
Once inside the place, tbe first thing which
sTrUi the eye is tbe peculiar manner in which
the window are constructed, anl tbe cliasto,
simple, yet elcffsnt character of their finish.
Ot coure the fore pari of escb. window U on a
line with tho irout of the building. As the
main doorway recedes between them from this
4.'.u5, Itffivtt tbem dePl.n corresponding to Its
own. Nothing Is a (idea to uu uf suoiractlng
eoace for the store, for the windows after tbis
being made by the making of the doorway,
are left to themselves. They are also constructed
in what is termed the vestibule stylo their floor
being the floor of the store neither shelves nor
plattorms marring their sides or bottom. Here,
ai everywhere throughout the place, the finisb
is done in black walnut. With only tho vacant
space of the doorway intervening, the windows
are parallel with each other, lb either, huge
mirrorB cover the sides. Note the effect. Stand
ing either in tbe entrance or In the window
Itself, and looking eastward or westward, you
gsze down a perspective, through a Bort of
corridor that appears without end.
Tbe principle is a woll-understood one, but
bai never yet been applied in any of our stores.
The beauty of the illusion cannot bo questioned,
leaving the windows you proceed up the room.
With a general Rlance around your eye finally
rests upon the ceiling, and resting there it turns
not away without admiration for the magnificent
fresco with which it is covered. Tbe celebrated
Kaiser wai the artist, and in this work he has
anrpMtcd himself. Patterns without number,
color laid npon color, ttjlea rectangular and
arabesque, a pertcct tinted confusion.
As a work ot art it is fault
less! It makes one of the prettiest, if not
the prettiest, feature ofthe store. Scattered over
the large space between the doorway aud the
central counter, stand a number of marble
pedestals white black, Sienna, eeaalloll Mip
fortiug various statues, mythological or bis
torical. all of which display the touches of mas
ter cblt-eJs. (Jetting through this group, you
reach the central counter, with its base of
white marble, it3 cases or clear heavy
glass and poll tied silver. It stretches up
tbe room, then making a perfect lieml
rnbere in rounded beautv, it stretches dowu
tbe room. Between i s wines is a space some
three to six feet In widih.for the accommodation
ol the clerks. Tbis counter is devoted to flue
iewclry of every description. 11 leg uf braoeleN,

splendor. Opposite Is the watch department.
Time there Is kept in silver and golen cases. A
matchless array of watches all kinds, slzs,
stjles-the delicate lady's, barely the circum
ference of a half dollar; the massive gentleman s.
which would turn tho beam with a pound
weight on the other side. Between me winuows,
on a line wltn tbis last counter, me uuKo
heavily carved walnut cabinets, com
pletely enclosed in glass, in wu'tu au
displayed the finest of silver ware goods. In
the recesses made by these cabinets and the
windows are placed sofas and elegant tables,
designed as resting pliers for the wearied la
endeavoring on inspection of the coantless
things tbe store coutains. The idea was a
happy one, and many are meieminine customers
ot the firm who will thane them for their
consideration. Against the wall opposite
s one long waluut ca?e some sixty
feet in lenpth cont ilDing every kind
of plated poods, linck of the counters,
twenty In number, is placed the bronze room.
This apartment is gorgeously carpeted and fur
nished in the most lavih manner. The prints
and pointincs cover tho entire surface of tho
walls; tables In the centre, with a double row of
ihelvirg, support the beautiful spielmensof
handiwork In bronze and stone.
In the rear of this dennrtment. looking upon
Sausoro street, Is a lieht and airy littlo room a
kind ol retiring place for the firm and tbeir
customers. Above are pleeping apartments lor

occupy the whole of the firat floor, 44 feet in

the leaders of the Democratic party will be ex
pressed in no uncertain tone. Upublicans will

Fi om Our Own Correspondent,
Kkadino, Oct. 19.
Yesterday (Sabbath) was an eDoort in the his
tory of Methodism In the city or Heading. At
an early hour In the afternoon the ltvtog tide
of humanity began to set la towards tbe neigh
borhood of Mnlli and Kim Bireis. Tola is one
of the most beautiful locations of the moil
rapidly lrupiovlng section of thlaclty. At 8!$
o'clock the crowd was Immense, and to ft t.ha
Habbath Hcbools of the Khcnexer and8U Peter's
M. K. Churches were added, having rnarotied
together tbiongh l'eun afreet, reaching a dis
tance of over two squares.
The exercises were onened by the reading of
tbe declaration, or Introduction of tbe service,
by the Hev. T. A. Fernley, who had charoof
an me arrangements or me oocrtiion
This was followed by the hymn "This Rtone
to Thee, OUod, we Lay," etc. itev. Dr. Puttl
son rend the prayers.
The 123d Psalm was read by It-V. T. A. Fern
ley, the pecple, having all been provided wltn
printed programmes, responded by reallug
encli alternate verso, sounding as the noise of
ninny wattrs.
Mr. Fernley then stated that the occasion ws
one ot very special interest, not only to the
Metrodlst denomination, hut to tbe whole
Christian community. God has many ways of
accomplishing urn worn, wneti a cnuro'i is
needed He sometimes puts It Into the hearts ot
the gotid people to arise and build. Hoiuetlrnes
he permits a schism or party spirit to drive
out. a colony nolm voien.t, but in tbis case lie
had moved upon the heart of one mau, filled
with the spirit of practical consecration, and
blessed with means to do toe whole wor
hlmtelf.
tie then read a part of a covenant written on
parchment, and signed by Henry Crouse, in
which be agrees with God, as a tbank-onTerlog, to
fresent to the Metbodl t Episcopal Cnurch the
ot of ground at the southeast corner of Ninth
and Kim streets, and to build tbereupon a
chapel or church. Tbis lot Is 120 ft. deep by 60 ft.
front on Ninth street, and is undoubtedly one
of the best and roost beautiful lots In theotty.
The cbapel Is to be of brick, with a handsome
brownstone base; to be Mulshed In Go'hto style,
having a spacious end gallery, and all tbe
modern improvements. It will tie Stl feet front
on Kim street by 65 feet deep. The whole value
of the gift will not fall far short of tV2 000.
Addresses were delivered hy Rev. Dr. Pattl
son, or St. Peter'; llev. Mr. Freer, or the LUp
tUtCburcb; Kev. Mr. Rhodes, or the Evangeli
cal Association, and by a prominent layman of
the Herman Reformed Church.
The contents of the box to be planed In the
corner-stone were then annonuced by Kev. T.
A. Fernley, and the Hev. Father Boehm, the
companion or Bishop Asbury. and the founder
or Methodism In Reading, now in his ninety
fourth year of age. laid the stone la the usual
solemn form prescribed by the ritual of the M.
E. Church.
We have never attended a more Impressive
occasion of tbe kind, or one tne moral effect
or which was greater. The munificent girt of
Mr. Crouse will act powerfully, and accomplish
mncb good, not only in tbe beautiful house he
is building but In stirring up others to uHk,
"What am I doing with the money God has
given me?" To Illustrate. At the close of the
services yesterday a gentleman connected with
the Ptesbyterlan Church In this city said, "I
will give one hundred dollars a year to support
a minister In this church for as many years as
It Is needed." Others will be fonnd of the s ime
mind. There is no such word as "fill" in the
Christian's vocabulary. Success lo the causa of
God and of Methodism in Reading.
We should have stated that this new enter
prise is lobe called the Church of tbe Cove
nant, or "The Covenaut M. E. Chnrob," allusive
to tbe peculiar circumstances of Us origin. Hov.

WiBHiMjTON, Oct. 19. Though it is not now
a matter for such open discussion, still the pro

few prominent men who disfavor the scheme
liave dashed cold water upon it; but the
preater number, seeing Inevitable defeat for
their present candidates, witrmly nrge their
withdrawal. Montgomery Blair thinks the

FROM WASHINGTON.
Vpctial Derpatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, Oct. 19.
The President
yesterday sent for tbe Aeent of tho Associated
Press, sod to-t'ay a statement appears through
that source denying that the Presideut had
an; idea of bclr.g a candidate on tbe Demo
cratic ticket, provided Bejmour were thrown
overboard. This whs evidently an af.erthought
with Johnson, for "Warden," who telegraphs
directly from the White House to parti an
newspapers, used Johnson's name several times
last week, as a feeler, and in his despatches to
day forcibly arpues tbat the Democrats ought
to change their candidates. lie would not dare
take tbis ground In oppositiou to the President.
Tho Associated Press despatches probably repre
sent Johnson's Ideas before dinner, and War
den's tbe fcntiirents o bis patron after dinner.
This la the Interpretation put upon these con
flicting statements here. It Is notorious that
Johnson was highly elated with the proposed
withdrawal, and would bave gone on the
ticket, but CLdinp the principal leaders of tbe
party averse to change, he now denies that lie
ever encouraged It.
The Intelligencer
to-day, in a labored editorial, tries to prove
that tbe contest which has just terminated in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, snd Indiana, is a defeat of
radicalism. It still favors a change of candi
dates for tbe Democracy.
lostinaaterOener.U Randall
bas gone to New York to consult Democratic
lead era there in regard to withdrawing Seymour
and Blair. This idea Las not been abandoned.
Despatch to the Atsociated Press.

TIte Arms
recently captured in the Mississippi river were,
it la knon to tLe War Department, privately
purchased oy tne uovernor or Arkansas and
United States eeiiatorWcDonsld. They expected
the Legislature would appiopriate the necessary
amount of money to buy tbe arms from them.
The Governor's telegram to the Secretary ot
War, statins; thiit be is satiated that armed
resistance to the laws is contemplated, occasions
much comment among prominent officials, who
say they csnnot understand why he should
entertain such fears, as he himself states tbat
the arms were thrown overboard by the captors.
Tlie Queen of Blndugaacar
kas presented to the Government some beauti
fully wrought and variously colored fabrics of
heavy silk and other materials, probably in
tended for table or bed spreads. She also nends
a silver pia'ed oooee urn, but tbis Is of interior
