Better Bargains than ever, at the Three Big
Doors.
THE subscriber would respectfully inform his eds
towers and the publicgenerally, that notwithstad
ing the unprecodented sales at the Three Big Doors,
during the present season; he has still on hand the lar
gest and most varied assortment of elegant CLO
THING that can be bought west of the mountains.—
The puler' may rest assured that all articles offered at
his store are manfacturod front FRESH GOODS, pur
chased is rho Eastern markets this spring and made in
ta garments by Pitttsburgh workmen.
Inconsequence of the multiplication of slop shops in
oar city, filled with pawn brokerselothes and the musty,
cast, off garments of former seasons, from the eastern ci
ties, the public should be cautious to ascertain the, char
acter of the establishments in which they are invited to
purchase, before they part with their money.. The arti
cles offered at seseral of the concerns in this city, are
the mere offals of New York and Philadelphia slop
shops, and sent out here to be palmed of on the Pitts
burgh public. Purchasers she 'd be on their guard a
gainst these impositions, and they may rely on the fact
thatne establishment that advertises eastern made Clo
tlaiug, can give as good an article or as advantageous
ssargains as can be had at the "Three Big Doors."
The public will please remember that all the subscri
ber's garmentsare made in this city, by competent work
men, and not gathered up like the goods now offered by
the "birds of passage" from the shreds and patches of
eastern slop shops. It will always be his endeavor to
maintain the reputation that the "Three Big Doors"
Ikutt'es4asihsed for furnishing a superior style of CLO
THIIIce in every respect, and at prices below those of
* ;my other establishment.
lle wouldagain retarn his thanks to his friends and
alle public for the unprecedented patronage b es towed
upon his establishment, and believing that they have
found it to their advantage to deal with hint, he would
repeat his invitation to all those who wish to purchase

lafflicted for about four months, and I have no hesitation
in saying that it is the most egestive medicine that I

FOR SAFETY,
TravellerJ should select Boats provided with
Evan's Safety Guards for preventing Explosion of
Steam Boilers
IT would be well for tho traveling community to
bear in mind that their security depends entirely
upon their own encouragement of boats that has e or
may be at the expense of procuring the abovo appara
tus. And that every individual making such selec
tions is contribming towards a general introduction of
an invention admitted by all men who understand the
principles of the Steam Engine, to be a sure preventa
tive against those dreadful disasters. You have cer
tainly, in the hundreds of explosions that have already
taken place, their almost daily occurrence, and the
thousand , : of lives that base already been lost, a suffi
cient warning, arid inducement to make inquiry fur a
Safety guard Boat, aud in ev cry case to give it the
preference. They have went to an additional expense
that your lives may be secure. Ought you not therefore
to meet them With a corresponding degree of liberality,
and by your preference show that you appieciate their
laudable endeavors to step this awful sacrifice of hu-
WWI life. They do not charge more than other boats;
their accommodations in other respects are equal, and
in many
,cases superior, and as there is one leaving
Pittsburgh every day, why will you run any risk, when
it is so completely in your own power to avoid those dis
asters.
All boats Marked thus r j in the List of Arrivals and
Departures, in another part of this paper, arc supplied
with the Safety Guard.

Another Visit.
Our next encounter was with an old lady notorious in
her neighborhood for her gratitude and simple minded
ness. Her loquacity knew no bounds—it was conitnnt,
unremitting, interminable, and sometimes laughingly
silly. She was interested in quite a large; chiuscery
suit, which had been "dragging its slow length afoot"
for several years, hnd furnished her with .a conversa
tional fund which she drew upon extensively, under
the idea that it: , merits could not - be sufficiently discos
, sed. Having been warned of her propensity, and be
ing somewhat hurried.when we called upon her, we
were disposed to get thrdugh our business as soon its
possible, and without hearing her enumeration of the
strong points of herlaw case. Striding into the house
or drawing forth our paper—
;
"Taking the census, ma'am," quoth we.
"Ah, yell, yes ! bless your soul, honey, take a seat.
Now do. Are you the gentlernan that Mr. Van Buren
has sent to take the scnsis? I wonder! well, gbod.
Lord look down ! how was Mr. Van. Van Buren and
family when yoa seed him 1"
We explained that We had never seen the President;
didn't know him "from 4 side of sole leather;" ar.d we
had been %.‘ ritten to to take the census. •
-Well, now, that agin ! Love your soul! well I
spose Dir . Van Buren writ you a letter, did he 1 No
I pose some of his officers done it; bless my
soul! Well, Cod be praised, there's mighty little here
to take down—times is hard; God's will be done; but
looks like people can't get their jest rights in this couri
try; and the law is all for the rich and none for the
poor, praise the Lord. Did yon ever heur,tell of that
case my boys has got agiu old Simpson 7 Looks like
they will never get to the eend of it; glory to his name!
The children will suffer, I'm Mighty afeard; Lord give
US grace ! Did yea eve: see Judge 13-1 Yes
Well, the Lord preserveus ! Did you ever hear hits
say what he Was gwir.e to do in the bny , .' case *gilt
Simpson? No. Good Lord ! Well, squire, will you
ax him the next time you see him, and write me word?
and tell me what I say.; lam nothing buts poor widow,
zu,d my boys has got no larnin, and old. Simpson tnc
'cm in. They ought to had a good start all - on 'etul
but, God bless you, that old than has used ' Ctil SIP, • till
they aint able to buy a creetur to plough with. It's Is
mighty hard case, and the will ought n't 4ever to bees

Here we interposed and told the old lady tbat'our
time was precious, that we wished to take down the
number of her family, and the produce raised .by her
last year, and be oil. After a good deal of trouble. we
got through with the description of the members of het
family and the. "statistical table" as far as the artiele of
cloth.
"How many yards of cotton cloth did yOu weave in
1890, ma'am. "
"Well, now! The Lord have mercy Lets see.—.
You know Sally Higgins that used to live down in the
Smith settlement 7—poor thing. her daddy drug her off
ou account of her having a little 'un, poor crectur
poor gal, she couldn't help it, I dare say. Well,Sally,
she come to stay along with me, when the eld man
druv her awhv and she was a powerful good hand tto
weave, and I did think she'd helped me a power. - -.
Well, after she'd been here awhile. her baby hit took
sick, and old Miss Stringer she undertook to help its

and yearbs and sich like. Welt, the Lord look down

poor creetur!—and she gin it tea, and kin it tea, and,
looked like, the more she sin it tea, the more
'My dear Madam, I am in a hurry—please tell tee
bow many yards of cotton cloth you wove in 1840—I
want Liget through with you and go on !"
"Well! well! the Lord-a-mercy! who'd a tho't you'd
a bin so snappish! Well, 05 1 was , a sayin,
child, lilt kept a gitrin wuss, and old Miss Stringer,
she kept a giv in it the yearb tea, till at last the child
lookecllike hit would die any how. And 'bout the
child was at its wust, old Daddy Sykes he come along,
and he said if we'd git sonic night shed berries and
stoo em with a little creem and some hog's lard—now
old daddy Sykes is a mighty fine old man, and ho gin
the boys a heap of Mighty good counsel about that ease,
boys, says he, Pit tell you what you do you go
InGud'sname, old lady,' said we, tell about your
'cloth, and let the sick childand Miss Stringer, Daddy
Sykes, the boys, and the law suit go the devil; I'm in
a hurry.
"Gracious bless your dear soul ! don't git aggnerne
teat'. was jist a tellin hov- it came I didn't weave. no
cloth laist year.
"Ohovell, you didn't weave any cltith last year, good!
We'll co on to the neat article."
"Yea ! you seo, the child hit begun to swell and torn
yeller. and hit kept a within its eyes, and a moaning,
and I knowed—
'Nevm mind abcia the child—just tell me the mitre
of the poultry you raised last year.'
"Oh, well—yes—the chickens you mean! why the
Lord love your pour soul, I recon you never in your
born disyi seen a poor creetur have the luck that Idid
and looks like we never shall have good luck again;
I for ever since old Simpson took that case up to the
Chancery court—
" Never mind the case; let's hear about the chick.

"God bless vest, honey, the etch destrUyed in arid

night the Lord sent, they'd come and set on the comb

"Well, well, what was the value of what you die

"The Lord abovo look down! They got so bad—
the owls did—that they tak the old hen as well's the
yoting chickens.. The night I was tern n 'bout I heard

Speck that nasty audacious owl's got, for I seen her go

was sleepin, and, says I, Miss Stringer! oh Miss String

We began to get very tired, and signifiedthe same to
the old lady, and begged she would answer as directly,
and without circumlocution.
"The Lord A'mighty love your dear heart, honey.
I'm tell in you as fast as I kin. The owls they got
wuss an %cuss, after they'd swept old Speck and all her
