Visitors to Philadelphia are
invited to visit the store,
whether to see or to buy.
Your parcels are checked ; a
waiting-room is provided,
where you may rest with
ladies and children; guides
conduct you througn the
house, or you wander at will ;
there are many things of
interest to see, and a wel
come. For two years, perhaps, we
have had the richest, largest,
most varied and most exhaus
tive collection of dress-goods
in Philadelphia. Before that,
we may have had the largest,
and even the most exhaus
tive, but perhaps not the
richest. The slowest trade
to come to a new merchant
is the trade of luxury. It is
the slowest to change from
one to another. But it does
change.
We may say our dress
goods of all sorts are at
about their highest now.
Second and third circles, aoutheaat
from center.
Silks of all sorts have
come; and never were silks
more acceptable. And these
words have a meaning here
beyond any they could have
elsewhere; because of the
greater variety of wants tha'
look to us for supply. We
must have all accepted styles,
and all the approved quali
ties of those styles; and, as
to colors, can you think of
one that we can do without?
A store that has only one
class of trade can get along
with comparatively few silks.
Which jstock would you
rather buy out of?
Next outer circle, south entrance
to main building.
Two damask towels at 15
and 18 cents may serve to
show what we gain by buy
ing of the makers. The very
same towels are in the whole
sale trade in New York at
about 21 and 22 cents, which
means at least 25 cents at
retail.
We are not going to say
that all our retail prices are
below New York wholesale;
nothing of the sort " More
than one swallow to make a
summer." But where such
towels are to be got for 15
tents is a good place to look
for bed and table-linen, and
all the other linens. That's
what we mean exactly; it's
true, too.
Outer circle. City-haU square entrance.
A very wide and surpris
ing!y good navy-blue twilled
flannel for 50 cents; 45-inch.
Do you remember a 35
cent flannel for 25 cents, of
which we had 18,000 yards
last fall? Afterward we got
7,000 yards more of it; and
a little of it is left yet. That
is 23-inch. This wide flan
nel is fully as good as that.
Third circle, aoutheast from center.
All the warmer sorts of
underwear are ready; for
men, women and children;
thick-cotton, merino, wool,
and silk. All the sorts need
ed for all sorts of people
with all sorts of notions;
and, for people who want it,
there is quite a little wit
lbout underwear to be pick
id up at the counter. YVhere
else would you look for it ?
Not in books surely; for
goods are changing all the
time; and so get ahead of
books.

THE SHADOWY HAD.
I am a traveler and collector for a large
house which executes many orders through
out the country. When I have an extensive
district, which is often the case, I frequently
have a considerable sum of money about me,
and on several occasions the possession there
of has rendered me verv uneasy ; but no
more than that of which I speak.
I had been assigned to a laree territory in
the West, a region rough and mountainous,
and which, I had cause to believe, aboanded
In lawless spirits who might possibly give me
some trouble. A person of my calling ts
always supposed to hitve a large sum of mo
ney about him when he has been out for a
number of days or weeks, and many is the
time that I have seen people look at me with
an expression on their faces that spoke loud
er than words how much they would like a
chance of seeing; what my wallet contained.
But thus far they never have had their wishes
gratified in this respect, and, so long; as my
faithful six-shooter does not play me false, I
don't mean that they shall.
One day at noontime saw me in one of the
little villages ot the West, hemmed iu on all
sides by high peaks and lofty summit passes.
I had transacted my business there, and now
soHght the landlord of the inn to learn tie
way to the next village that I had wished to
visit. From him I learned that It was t wen -ty
miles by the public road, and rough and
billv into the bargain.
"But is there no nearer way?" I asked.
" If the road is in the state vou say, it will
be long after nightfall before I can reach
there, and it looks, much as though we might
have a rainfall presently."
"There Is a road over the mountains," he
answered, after a pause, " but it has not
been much used of late years, and the way
is rough. Still, it can be got over, and as it
Is but little over half the distance it Is by the
main road, you will get toSilby fully an hour
t earlier than you could by that way."
j "Then I shall try it. for I want to get
! there before the storm, if possible."
' " Keep the road straight ahead, and keep
, your eyes open," he said.
j Thank you, I shall do so," I answered.
"Good day."
I "Good day," and the landlord waved his
I hand as I rode away.
j For hours I wound along the most wretch-
ed road I ever saw. Every now and then a
j path would branch off, leading, apparently,
; Into the heart of the forest. The afternoon
I passed away and night came on, and still
there was no change in the road, no sign of
my being near to Siloy. All was the same
dreary wilderness as that through which I
had been passing so many hours. With the
oming of the darkness the rain began to fall.
This added to the disquiet I had already felt.
for I feared that I hsd left the road aDd got
into one of those paths that led I knew not
whither.
Faster and faster fell the rain, and with
very moment the gloom increased, until the
darkness was such that it could almost be
felt. Still I plodded on, feeling there was
little chance of reaching my place of desti
nation, but with the hope that I might stum-
ble upon some cabin that possessed human i
inhabitants, where I could find a fire and
shelter for the night. More than an hour
Dassed, and I had nearly given up all hopes
of finding shelter, when I beheld the gleam
of a light before me. Encouraged by the
sight, I urged my horse onward, and In a few
minutes found myself in front of a low cab
in, thro' the one window of which the light
gleamed that had attractedmy attention.
Dismounting, I approached and rapped
loudly upon the door. There was the sound
of shuffling feet within, then it was thrown
open, and a man, holding a candle In his
hand, apneared upon the threshold and de
manded what 1 wanted. As the light flashed
upon his face I had the Impression that I
had seen it before ; but it was gone In a mo
ment. In answer to his demand, I told him
I wanted shelter for myself and horse for
the niKht, and that if in the morning he
would guide me to Silby he would be suit
ably rewarded.
He made some reply, the burden of which
I could not catch owing to the driving of the
rain ; and then, setting the canale down upon
the floor, he came out. saying, as he laid his
hand upon my horse's bridle, " Tain't very
good quarters that you'll get here, mister
but perhaps it's better than it is out in the
rain."
"Any shelter is better than none on such a
night as this," I answered, and I followed
him round to a rude hovel, where he did the
best be could for my horse's comfort
Then we went Into the cabin. He pisked
up the candle he had placed upon the floor,
observing, as he did so, "I keep bachelor's
hall here so you are hungry, I suppose ?"
I replied In the affirmative. As I drew up
to the:fire that shorn, upon the hearth, the
heat of which was very grateful after my
exposure to the storm, I watched my host as
he placed some bread and meat upon the ta.
ble, and his very look and motion went to
confirm the impression that I had seen him
before; and then it flashed uuon my mind
when and where, it was among the rough
unshorn loafers that were hanging around
the bar.
The food being set out, he placedla rude
seat near the table, and told me my supper
was ready, making some excuse because it
was not better. I answered him that it was
as good as I desired ; and as hunger is tbe
best appetizer a man can have, I did the
coarse provender ample justice. When 1
was satisfied I resumed my seat once .-sore
by the fire, and tried to enter into conversa
tion with my host, but I made poor head
way. He did not seem inclined to talk, and
after a while I gave it up and we sat there
in silence for some time, tie ever and anon
stealing a glanca at me from under his shag
gy eyebrows, which, In spite of myself made
me feel uneasy when I reflected about the
money upon me. At last, tired of this, I
told him I would like to go to bed, if he had
a place where I could lie down. Upon this
he rose and led the way into the other small
apartment of the cabin, and setting down
the candle, went out and closed the door.
There was a rude bed In the corner of the
room, covered with a ragged quilt, and upon
this I threw myself without taking off my
clothes. My six shooter I placed beside me
where I could lay my hand upon It at a mo
roent's notice, and then I blew out the can
dle and tried to eleep. But that I soon dis
covered was Impossible to do. A nameless
something kept me awake. I could hardly
define It as fear. It was more of a nervous
ness which I could not shake off, try as I
would. My eyes would not stay shut but
wanted to remain wide open and fixed upon
the wall where the firelights shone through
craeks In the partition against which my bed
stood, played wltU a wekd sort ol light.
Try as I would, I could not keep my eyes
from the wall. Did I close them, the next
minute they would be again wide open. Did
I turn my head, I would be looking there
agnin almost before I kn?w it. What I ex
pected to see I hardly knew. Yet it came
at last.
Suddenly upon the wall, where the light
from the flame shone the brightest, there ap
peared the shadowy hand of a man clasping
a long and deadly-looking knife.
For a moment my gaze wrs riveted upon it
that I could not turn my eyes ; but a sound
in the adjoining room broke the spell.
Starting hastily up upon my elbow, I peered
through the crack that was close to my head,
and the sight 1 beheld caused another thrill
similar to that which the shadowy hand had
given me. My host, with along knife in his
hand, was approaching on tiptoe the door
which led to my room. It was the shadow
of his nplifted hand that I had seen.
That he had designs upon my life I could
not doubt, and thankful for the warning I
had received, 1 prepared to meet him.
Noiselessly I crept from the bed, and, with
my six-shooter in my hand, stationed myself
at Its foot. The door was noiselessly push
ed open, and the would-be murderer entered
the room as silently as a phantom, and ap
proached the bedside. Ilis arm, with the
deadly knife grasped in his hand, was for a
moment held above the bed, and then it de
scended with a force that would have sent
it through the body of a man, had one been
lying there.
This was ail I wanted. Surely it was evi
dence enough to justify me in what I did.
I raised my arm and fired. With a gToan the
villain fell forward upon the couch where I
had lain hardly a minute before. With my
finger still upon the trigger, should another
shot be needed, I struck a match and lighted
the candle ; then holding it out before me, I
approached the bed. The villain lay mo
tionless. My bullet had found a way through
his heart.
You can Imagine how the rest of the night
passed to me. With the earliet dawn I
mounted my horse, and as good luck would
have it, rode directly towards Silby, where I
arrived in a .couple of hours. I was not
long in searching out the proper officers, to
whom I told my story, and a little later I
guided them back to the cabin, where they
found all as I had stated it, and at once ex
onerated me from blame in causing the vil
lain's death. Western Watchman.
THE ROMANCE OF MT. VERNON.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Sun says : It was in 18.r8 that Colonel
John Washington saw that Mount Vernon
would have to go by the auctioneer's ham
mer if something did not turn up. And here
comes in the romance of Mount Vernon A
woman who had been a confirmed invalid
since her nineteenth year raised a fund of
5200,000, and embodied a plan that gave
Mount Vernon to the nation. This was
Anne Pamelia Cunningham, of South Caro
lina. She was an onlv and Indulged daueh-
j ter. In her childhood she had visited Mount
1 Vernon, and when she resigned 'all of life
except that which could be enjoyed in a sick
room, in her early womanhood, she took hold
of a project to buy Mount Vernon, or rather,
the project took hold of her. It is one of the
most singular instances of indomitable ener
gyand practical perseverence recorded. This
frail woman, from her sick bed. aroused an j house always, manufactures a heap of wool
enthusiasm, especially among Southern wo- , en goods. I think it has a paper mill, and is
men that resulted in a splendid success. She j surrounded with beautiful scenery. Some of
inspired Edward Everett with ber spirit, and i the views from the great ridge that towers
his lecture on Washington poured money into ; above the town are very famous. The soft,

Washington, and 200 acres of land belonged
to a national organization. The Legislature
of Virginia granted a very sensible charter
to the organization. The capital stock was j
limited to 1 500,000. It was granted in per- i
petuality, and no disposition of the property
could be made without the consent of the
Legislature. None of the Washington fam

ought to originate some new table jokes
that will be worthy of the age in which we
live.
Children should ettrly learn the use of the
fork and how to handle it. This knowledge
can be acquired by allowing them to pry up
the carpet tacks with this instrument, and
i other little exercises such as the parentmind
! mav suggest.
The child should be taught at once not to
wave his bread around over the table in con
versation, or fill his mouth with potatoes
and then converse in a rich tone of voice
with some one out in the yard. Fie might
get his dinner down his traches and cause
his parents great anxiety.
In picking up a plate or saucer filled with
soup or with moist food, the child should be
taught not to parboil his thumb in the con-
tents of his dish and
to avoid swallowing
sonp bones or other indigestible debris.
Toothpicks are generally in the last course.

other exercises. While grace is beinn said
at table, children should know that It is a
breach of good breeding to smouge fruit

bowed down and their attention for the mo

boys should, before going to the table, emp

If a fly wades into your jelly up to his

Miss Susie Pollard of Cleveland, Ohio, i
only filteen years old and is the daughter ot
: a wealthy merchant of Cleveland. Being
j an only child, she has been allowed great
liberty siuce her tenth birthbay. Extiemely
iienocous tor ner ace, she attracted much

talenta, and
her literary
efforts, notwithstanding their
; crudity, were surprising. On October TtU
she disappeared from home. Her father aod

: absolutely no clue to her whereabouts. As
( she was unusually attractive in person, and
j as she was known to have a considerable
j sum or money in her possession, it was fear

' designing villain, or had been forcibly ab

Some of the lady boarders took quite a fancy
to the lonely girl, attracted by her youth and
innocence, and she readily made friend
with them. During ber stay or two weeks,
however, she allowed no one to penetrate
the mystery that surrounded her. She dis
couraged ail prying auestions. and showed
that she was perfectly able to take care of
herself and keep her own secrets On
Thursday when the hotel authorities con
fronted her with the published description of
tbe missing Cleveland girl, she looked the
picture of innocence. When they addressed
- '
, ner as .Miss .sUsie Pollard." she said

I The hotel people beit a retreat, and tele-
graphed at once to Cleveland. Intberoean
time "Miss Gordon " gathered up her effects
and prepared to depart. She gave it out that
she intended to go West, and had engaged
to join some friends in an adjacent town,
j who were to accompany her. When she ap
, rlied for a ticket, however, she found that
', the hotel people had anticipated her action,
i and Instructed the ticket agent not to sell
her one.
At this point another character appeared
on the sceue. George W. Mann a detective
from Jackson, Michigan, arrived at the hotel.

' whom he was looking. It seems that he had
; traced her from Cleveland to Toledo. There
j be had lost all trace of her, but supposed
the ofneers were scouring the country In
search of her hiding place. On tbe arrival
of Detective Mann, it was decided that Miss
rollard. alias Miss Gordon, be handed over
( to the care of Dr. Richard Foster, at 10 War
ren Avenue. Dr. Foster had patients at the
Palmer House and it was on their recom
mendation that the action was taken. The
girl Is now under the physician's hospitable
roof, pending the arrival of her father.
Just what incited Miss Pollard to her queer
I escapade is unknown, but it is believed that
she was actuated simply by a desire to see
the world by herself. ITer intention, a-, she
laughingly said, was to make observations of
life In an untrammelled manner, and then
write a book detailing her experience. She
