A man of respectable character, a woman
hi comfortable ciicunitances, or a child
happy in the possession of a full stomach
and a top, gees out in the merninj,', is seen
te readt the cetner of the sticer, ami then
is never heeu aain. Of ceiuse, a bank
c.ishier'i. disappeiuanee is of a totally dif-ft-i
cut character, and nc.ds no explana
tion, but the dis.ippeatance of eleigytuen,
journalists, millionaires, and ether people
e! unimpeachable character and peifectly
sane mind is te the la.it degree mysterious.
A ctimmal who wants te disappear and
who is cunning in disguises and acquainted
villi all setts of obscure hiding places can
nearly alay: be tracked and discovered
by the police, but the lespectable man

explanation could be.
Vc new tce what become? of the men
who niystciieusly disappear. They aie
men "who have taken some explosive med
icine. A slight shock, such as a collision
with a small-boy or an unbrclla cariied
under the arm of some heedless pedestrian,
causes the medicine te explode, and the
tcpeit i.s se slight and the disappearance
of the victim se instantaneous and com
plete that the whole affair passes unno
ticed. Let the doctors leek into this matter.
It is one which closely concerns their
piespciity. If theyarote have the geed
will and assistance of undertakers and
the confidence of the public generally
they must prescribe no mere explosive
medicines.
Tlie Killing of Zabab and Zalmunni
N. V. Sun.
The gicat fighter of the ancient Jews
was Gideon, a fearless and headstrong
man, net unlike old Jehn Brown of Ossa Ossa
watemic. The c 8 of Gideen and his
conduct en a famous occasion have just
been brought under debate bore through
some passages in the sermons of two
eminent preachers of this city the Rev.
Dr. Ueber Newton, n Gentile pieacher of
Christianity, and the Rev. Dr. Metidcs a
Jewish preacher of Judtdsm. It is ciiriciis
te observe, in the present clash of opinion.-'
about Gideon, bow the lines that divided
the hosts of foemen in tbe battles of
antiquity stieteh down te the present time
and hew, in disputes between races, men
are still apt te find themselves ranged en
the side that was taken bj- their ancestors
aes age. It is the Kcv. Newton, of
Gentile stock, who eulogizes the Gentile
kings of Midian who fought against Gid
eon, and it is the Ilev. Dr. Jleudes, of
Jewish stock, who boldly comes forth
here in 2s ew Yeik te defend the Je wish
Gideon against all assailants.
The question in debate, and that must
be settled belere the restoration of peace,
is whether these "splendidly brave fel
lows," -ebah and almunna, were unjus
tifiably killed bj- the " savage Jew '
Gideon; or in ether words, whether the
warlike patriot, Gideon, was fully justified
in slaying tbe two Midianite oppressors
just named. Almest cverj- debatable
question of history in hammeied en the
anvil in these d.ijs ; but theie is an op ep op
peituuitj' for combatants who would de
justice te tbe theme net jet worn out.
Let us feiru a ling and see what v. Ml hap
pen if thee paitics can be brought te the
scratch.
The Ilev. Dr. Newton was the first te
biing up the e.ise of Gideon m such a way
as te give umbi.ige te the Rev. Dr. blen
des. As all the world knows the Rev. Dr.

"Ner could I ask the people (e unite in

W sxm maker's.
Silk novelties Innumerable
and indescribable. Everydiing
diat ladies or dressmakers have
occasion for in matching, deco
rating, combining. What we
are remarkable for, mere than
for anything else in silks, is va
riety ; or, at least, we are re
puted se. Yeu hear it said by
everybedy: "If you want te
match anything, or find a rare
silk, even an unexpectable one,
go te Wanamaker's."
The ether peculiarity that
everybody expects te find here
is less pleasant te speak of;
lower prices. We put it second,
because there are people who
don't credit us with lower
prices. Still, we imagine that
if one should assert the con
trary, almost everybody in Phil
adelphia would believe it.
Oftener we speak of ether
aspects of our trade ; aspects
less obvious or less recognized.
It is well occasionally te give
old news.
Next-outer elicit, south entrance fe miilii
building.
Warm skirts for ladies, and
leggings for ladies, girls and lit

satin, satin-and-cloth, satin-and-felt,
satin-and-Italian -cloth, and
Italian, all quilted; cloth, flannel
and felt prettily trimmed, net
fluilted, warm enough Avitheut.
The lecfo-Ine-s are all sorts ; one
very useful and fairly pretty
sort, woven, at two-thirds value,
25 te 65 cents.
West of south entrance te main building.
Furs have te be thought of.
We're busy enough as te mak
ing. If we advertise at all, we
ought te say what will net op
press us with tee much making.
Perhaps this it is. A great many
seal coats and fur lined circu
lars are ready-made. Mere
sizes arc ready-made here than
anybody expects; especially the
unexpected sizes. Ready-made
work we can make in July.
Why shouldn't we make all the
shapes and sizes ready-made ?

Black satin rhademaes and

as we can afford ; and that is 75
cents.
Loek out for such new. It's
time for ever-buying and all
sorts of mistakes te show them
selves. We try te keep ready
te turn ether folk's mistakes te
