Those who do not take especial pains to investigate the subject, have but little idea of the MAGNITUDE Or TRE 'MERCANTILE DUSINR3S of the city. The general impression is, when visiting a store to do a bit of trading, "Theis must be nigh on to $lO,OOO worth of goods in this 'ere store; a heap of goods, flint it." Coming down Water street let's step into No. 120: Mr. Dormaul has been absent in the eastern cities three weeks selecting goods for his mammoth store. A long time to: `select $lO,OOO worth of goods. one might think, but as we enter, and begin, Yankee like, to ask questions, and look at goods $lO,OOO is used up before We pass thirty feet into the 100 before us, and there are two more floors above,• equally well filled.— The shelves and counters are literally packed and piles of goods for which there is no room on shelf or counter, are visible in convenient corners. .41 brief mention of some of the goods in this TIIMUNSE. noes:, one of the largest of any dry goods house in the city, may be of interest -to the many readers of the Gazette, and be to them a guide when they wish to purchase tine goods at a remarkable low paice, Iu DRESS 000 W there is no stock in Southern New York of equal magnitude and variety, from prints, to the richest silks, or at such prices.— Prints of all the latest styles, black silks plain and with flue satin finish at all prices; fancy Bilks, striped grisaille of various pat terns, at the remarkably low price of ninety-eight cents per yard ; Irish - poplins, Japanese silks, mourning dress goods of en tire new and elegant fabrics, and an im mense stock of black alpacas of all grades, 6 the largest ever brought into this market ; its() a large stock of black cashmeres for )ollman cloaks. in fact there is nothing •n the dress goods line. that cannot be found it E.

The attracts especial attention, nut only by the' great variety displayed, but in the quantity, quality, and the low figures at which they are sold. In this department may be found double damask table linen of beautiful de sighs ; towels of magnificent quality, a fair size retailing as low_as one dollar per dozen; linen napkins in great variety full size and only one dollar per dozen. The stock of Marseilles quilts aro especially noticeable for quality and b'eauty. No one need be without a table cloth,' when extra fine bleached loom dice table linen can; be bought at DORMAITI..B, for twenty-five cents per yard. The array of linen goods looks $55,431,451 94 like a wholesale stock, and those desiring this class of goods especially, will find the best bargains can here be made. The stock of mastitis bleached and unbleached, of all the leading brands, is equally large, and will be sold at retail at the New York wholesale prices: Now is the tinie to lay in a. stock. In' the 'UPHOLSTERY DEPARTMENT may be found an elegant stock of striped reps, plain terrys, damasks, etc., of a great variety of patterns.' The . HOSIERY DEPART NT contains a fall line of the best goods. Thee celebrated Balbriggan hose selling as low as fifty cents per pair. A new feature is the seamless woven French corset. Mr. Don 'sum. purchased a large stock of these goods and will be very popular and eagerly sought after by the ladies. They are the best yet introduced. On the first floor also is the RETAIL MILLINERY DEPARTMENT, where will be found a fine stock of millin ery goods, patterns, hats elegantly trinimed, straw goods of all kinds, and first class mil liners of large experience, in constant at tendance.

In addition to the goods already noted, everything usually_ found in a dry goods house will be found here in great variety . The second floor is especially 'devoted to carpets, and it is packed from ono end of the floor to the other, with one of the best and choicest selections ever brought to this market. Ingrain—one, two, and three ply body brussels, tapestry, brussels; and other varieties, too numerous, to mention, and at prices that are desperately cheep.

Some one eras madly in ore with her." " If you were to guess till this day out you would not find the cause," said my friend. "Let us sit down here, and I will explain. It's no secret. I wonder the ma. jor has not told you." " Down here" was on a rustic seat that the major's wife bad. made at the end of his garden, close to where a little rill, soon to be lost in the blue Hudson, tinkled its way through his grounds. " Miring the war," began the doctor, " I served in the army in the same regiment with an old schoolmate. He was as line a soldier as ever drew sword; hale, hearty, sound in mind and body, and eager to see service—and he saw plenty.. I thought he' bore a charmed life, till one day he was car ried into the hospital in a bad way. A ball had entered his shoulder, glanced on the clavicle—what you call the collar bone— and had gone—somewhere. That is all we could tell, for there was no other orifice; but whether it had passed up or down, or taken some erratic course around about, such as balls will take, we knew not, and no probing could find out. , Well, be recov ered, went North to regain strength, and for nearly three years I lost sight of him.— When the war was over, and I had begun to practice as a civilian in New York, Imet him again.* But how changed. He was a living skeleton, and I saw in a moment that he had become habituated to opium. Do you know what that means? No. Well, throw a bucket of water into a piano, and then light a fire under it, and its strings will not be more out of tune than au opium smoker's nerves are out of order. He asked me if he might call on me at my office, and of course 1 assented; but it was days before he came, and when he did arrive I knew that he had been preparing himself for a fight with himself. Some foolish patients come prepared to hide the truth, some to magnify their ills. It is a part of our busi ness, in serious cases, to examine a man's mind before we ask about his body; and hardened as a surgeon must be, I confess that the condition of my poor friend fright ened me. There was an expressipn in his eye that I had never seen in any being; and /Oat made this worse was the calm, busi ness-like manner m which he Spoke. Lie told me that soon after he had (apparently) recovered from his wound he began to stif fer from pains in his head, which increased in severity till they became so agonizing that he had recourse to opium to allevitkte them. ' But I have not time to consult you about this,' he said; this I can bear—must bear. Would to God they were always tearing me! The tvorst is when they are not.' " 'They leave you very weak?'

I happened to have 'tt "strong preparation of hasheesh by me; I gave hint a dose, and whilst lie was under its influence I carefully examined his head. 'Now the head, you must know, does not fattenor waste away in prOportion to other Parts of the body; 'still his had become mere skin and bone; and this state, perhaps, gave me an advantage over others who had made the same examination. At last I felt, or thought I felt, a faint twitching—a sort of abnormal pulsation—about two inches abovellie left ear. It might be Merely ner vows, hilt it'inight be caused by the ball. "I then set my mind to work,, and tho't the whole case over steadily. 14 the first place, was that impulse to take human life, of whielkey_poor friend bad spoken, really uncontrollable? For example, suppose that 'one day'he did iake a pistol ' on' purpose,' and go to that young lady's garden—would he shoot her? TO suppose that ,the insane mind hover changes its purpose, or - turns from the full completion of its IS.iirpose, is to say, in other words, that the insane mind is stronger than the 'sane. If adman with alreahly-broken leg was to tell you he was going to run a foot race you would not be 'Wye him; because your common sense re- I volts against the Idea of his running with a leg disabled„ But if one with. his brain disabled declares that lie is going to do something dependent upon thei action of his mind, common sense does not always argue so well. "In the second place, did mot my poor friend;= . with his impaired riIeRSIS of judg ment, believe that the impulse v,:as uncon trollable? Besides, if he did, the end wo'd be the same so far as he was concerned.— Ile would sacrifice his owir life Ito protect that-of others, thbugh they were in no ac tual danger. "In the third place, might not this story of the impulse be a mere pretense to excuse the commission of suicide? Now there are no forms of madness more obscure in their origin, more difficult to detect,l more per sistent, and more fatal than suicidal mania; and as there have been numerous cases in which persons who have destroyed them selves have carefully prepared evidence tending to show that their death was acci dental, why should there not ilhe one in which the fatal act was to be (so f r as pos sible) justified? "In the fourth place, granting ,th 4 there was either real homicidal.mania or f .ncied homicidal mania tending to suicidal, cr ply the latter—was there a poSsibi_lty of cure? "As the three first questions rested for their solution on one set of facts, and the deductions to be drawn therefiem, I con sidered them together. A victim of suici dal mania rarely, if ever, speaks of suicide. When a man says he is going to drown himself, you- may generally direct him to the cars which will take him to the 'river side with the fullest conviction that he will not breakf,ast with crabs, If, in an excep tional case, ;suicide is mentioned, it will either he treated lightly, as an act that is not a crime, or the patient will be very earnest in his assurances that ho would nev er commit it. Remembering the manner of my poor friend, I noticed that he' l spoke of taking his own life with much more emotion than he evinced when he told me 'of the im- pulse to shed the blood of others. ' His word; ' I must have human if I had had a pistol with . me I should have shot her; some day soon I shall take a pistol on pur pose and shoot her; I should Murder my keeper and go straight for that innocent girl,' were spoken as calmly as though he had said, I owe five dollars'—l must gonna pay them,' and at the same time With a tone of deep commiseration for the predestined victims. They were to die for no fault of their own, but. they were doomed jto death —if ho lived. When, on the other band, he spoke of saving their lives at the sacri fice of his own, his manner changed. No one afflicted With suicidal mania ever treated self-destruction with the horror, the' con sciousness of its wickedness, and: the reli gious doubts as to its being pardonable-un der any circumstances, with which he con sidered it. lie had never once spoken of murder as a crime: " After a long and careful consideration I came to the, following conclusions: " He is not laboring under suicidal mania; his impulse is real, and will have fatal re• suits; confinement in au asylum would have no curative effect. Then 1 took down my books bearing upon the anatomy of the hu man head. " The next morning I addressed him thus: ' Before 1 answer you as to whether you would be justified before God,' tinder the impulse you have told me of, in takingymir own life to save that of another, you must answer me several questions.' " Go on,' he said. " When you consulted those doctors did you tell them all that pin have told me?' " ' No, I did not dare. I said that I had horrible thoughts and cravings, but without -entering into details as to what they - were. thiee---1-went so far as to say I feared I wan becoming - dangerous, and the old fool smiled.'' " ' Good. Did they ever spea of search ing for that ball?' - - ' " Yes; they said it might be the cause of my sufferhigs ' supposing irhad lodged near the brain, but that no one - would take the responsibility of - searching for it—so to speak—in the dark.' "rimy were right—the operation might kill you, and the ball not be found after all.' " lie looked up, and the dull, dejected look that had become habitual passed from his face, " And even if it was found,' 1 went on, `its extraction might cause your death all the same.' "lie laid his hand on my arm and tried to speak, but he could not. " Still it would give you a chance—just a chance of more than life.' His., grasp tightened. I could feel his heart beating. • And submitting to such an operation—al most hopeless though it. would be—would not be quite suicide.' "He fell on his knees and sobbed like a child. ' You'll do it!' he cried. ' God 1.- mjghty bless you! You'll do it?' " Well," odd my friend, iishtius a fre 1873.---WffH SUPPLEMENT. cigar, "to make my story short, I did! it with the assistance of a 3foung surgeon whose nerve 1 could trust.'

" Very neatly put," said the doe*, " but our friend does .not think -of committing suicide now." "Mercy, doctor!" I cried, "you don't mean to say that the man who wanted to murder the major's wife is—is—" • "The major himself? Yes, sir." Sumptuary laws are directly at valiance with the spirit of free institutions, and the legislation.of this country has for the hist half century given them no countenance br - support_ But a member of the Ohio Legis-' lature has recently shown that the narrow spirit of the old laws forbidding the wear-- ing of gay clothing, and the display of wealth in other ways, still commands his approbation.. Mingled with his' unwilling ness that other people should enjoy what be regards as luxuries, is a selfish desire to monopolize for his own benefit a certain priceless boon with which his fond parents endowed him. The name of this conserva tive and selfish legislator i. 4 John` Smith, and he has introduced into the ,I)ody of which he is a member a bill to protect him in the uninterrupted enjoyment of that mel lifluous appellation. By the provisions of this bill he endeavors to prevent any citizen of Ohio from hereafter naming a son "John Smith," and ho thus stands forth as the ad vocate, for purely selfish reasons, of an il liberal and objectionable sumptuary law. That Hon. John Smith is proud of his name, is apparent from the fact that he has not attempted to disguise it by the weak subterfuge of spelling " Smith" with a " y" And an " e," and the open cowardice of abandoning "John" in favor of a solitary initial "J. This is on the whole rather creditable to him, but he should be content with the happy possession of his fortunate name, and not proceed to deprive his un born fellow citizens of all chance of a like blessing. If his motive be simply to pre serve future generations from the enerya ting influence of indulgence in luxuries,The has made a mistake in selecting the use of the name "John Smith" as a luxury dan gerous above all others. History teaches us that the luxury of the governing class among the Romans led to the downfall of, the Empire, but there is not an instance on record where the prevalence of the name "John Smith" resulted in the ruin of a na tion or a. community. There are names which might exercise a disastrous influence upon a people, were they to come into gen eral use. It may, for example, be question ed; whether a nation, the majority of whose citizens would wear such a name as " Gin erY Twitchell"—estimable as the present sole owner of that name may be—could long maintain the respect of the civilized world. Ninety-nine Americans out of eve ry hundred might, however, be named "John Smith" Without in the least depreci ating the price of American securities. It may, therefore, be unhesitatingly of that the Ohio legislator is as much in error -in selecting the object against which his sumptuary law is directed as he is' in revert ing in any shape to an illiberal and obsolete species of legislation. There is too much reason to believe that his real motive is a miserly desire to monop olize his name. Probably ho comes ,of family noted for longevity, and 'hopes that by cutting off the supply of -further John Smiths, and outliving his present rivals in the possession of that name, he may yet be known as the sole John, Smith, of the United States—the unique possessor of that noble name. Let him remember, however, that the people, who strongly reprobate selfish ness in a member of the Legislature, will not forget the name by which•such distinc tion was won. This very prominence as the unique John Smith of the period—the very renown that will have brought tourists from all parts of the globe to gaze upon him—will but intensify the popular horror at the selfishness which made him famous, and maite_hini the object whereat the finger of juvenile scorn will be pointed by boys _who, but for his grasping covetousness, might also have enjoyed the blessedness of owning the name which he is now striving to monopolize.-1V Y. Tonal. In a notice of "The Brook and Other Poems," by William 13. Wright, the .New York ?Imes thus discourses: There are agreat many nice words in Mr. Wright's volume. Indeed, except in an unabridged dictionary of the Nery largest size, it; would be impossible to find so exten sive a collection of swept things In polysyl lables; and beautiful words in one syllable. These pretty words Mr. Wrightlas lavish ed all over his pages, and at tries has so grouped them that they seem to express in telligible ideas. Tire latter, however, are not sufficiently numerous to merit much at tention, and are neither fresh nor brilliant. It is as a collection of nice words that Mr. Wright's volume must be judged. The author has arranged his words in the form of verse, a form which, since it ad mits of a wide margin of white paper, dis plays his work to better ^advantage than closely-printed prose could have done. In deed, had he carried this idea still further, and - made his pages wholly blank, the pub lic'would have - been his debtors.- To select one of his minor poais - as _an example of what can be accomplished by - a - skillful use of the dictionary, and an entire indiffereiCe to the meaning of the words employed, let us take the verses entitled. " Reminiscence." In' his poeht Mr. Wright remarks that he has "Forgot the beach I frolicked o'er, The ocean whose smaragdino floor Reposed tmawent by mortal oar." "Smaragdine" is , tfnquestionahly a Very pretty i, word, and Mr. Wright knows it.— liencelie writes id order to introduce it, and cares little for the connection in which it is used. lie is not, however, guilty of reckless &sertion, for every, one will - agree that the floor of the ocean haknever been swept, or, for that matter, scilibbed with soap and brushes—a state of things that reflects no credit upon Neptune's house maid. Further on, Mr. Wright speaks of Nature, appareled its s bride, Opening 111Dit her maiden gait."_ • I 4 et no ono fttoo7 that l o iutoodoti to " John Smith." A Spiny Critique.

A leaper•wlio can clear pales in this tri umphant manner and proudly rest on a heart " which is melt," ought to devote himself to the flying trapeze, instead of the duller and less exciting Pegasus. Precisely what, if anything, is Meant by the myste rious allusion to "Day's inharmonious round" is not quite certain, though it may. refer to the inharmonious rhymes in which the charms of Day 443fartin'd,:blacking were formerly celebrated. Can =it be that Mr. Wright was formerly the poet of that en terprising firm, and that he has proudly ceased this honorable employment? • Of his poetry the author has as high an opinion as that which he entertains con cerning his ability to leap over pales. . He even warns the reader against the danger ous intoxication of his verse: • '"Who drinks my fountain may repent it, finch flay ferments and so rare The long, eternal BUDS have lent it : And Temperance guar& with fa/chlon bare This stately wassail of the heart, . And sifts all men that enter there." In deference to this warning we decline to invite the reader's further attention to Mr. Wright's volume. If to read these po ems is to incur the danger of being - sifted with a bare falchion, the safest course'wo'd he to leave them unread, and to firmly 'de cline to meddle in any way with - the dan- glirouS, ,eyen if stately,. wttssail :of Mr. _ Wright's heart. ll , .• A Strauge i ttorsrH There are few reader of modern English history or Oriental adventure, of social lit erature and any, who have not learned something of the strange career of Lady : "11 1. 1 1 , e e t s ci t s e t i i r i l i l S l ti t v a a l a sl r i l i els i i ) t e li i t i o i a l t s i t e i . n u s ) , s t i n h . et il i i I , l y e e a r a n a r r c s i i e a s s g u o o e f travel in Palestine. and the memoir of its age.

Leaving Munich as un ceremoniously as she quit London, she went to Italy and contracted six marriages, 1' as she termed them., in half that number of years. --Five years after the first elopement she removed to Greece, and was speedily married once more to Count Theodoki.— But Theodoki, though god-given by name, was altogether too mortal for the much marrying heroine, and having divorced him by her usual method, she was next an Athe nian celebrity and hostess, as. the wife of a Pahear chief. The Athenian shared the fortunes of Italian, German, •and Briton, and The much-husbanded wife struck - Lady Hester's trail at Bevrout. She lived something of the opulent and iiperious life of her predecessor until, while journeying to Damascus, Sheik Ab dul,. captain of' the caravan, pleased her fancy, and was instantly—married.

Hints on Shopping. It is poor economy—or, rather, no econo my at all—to purchase 'inferior fabrics be cause they are cheap. Persons in limited circumstances often commit this error. If a calico at ten cents a yard looks about as well as one at twelve or fifteen cents, the prudent purchaser will often think it econ omy to choose the low-priced goods. As it is low-priced, she may indulge in a yard or two more for ruffles or bias folds, flattering herself that cheap ornamentation is an equivalent for fine quality. '['his mistake may be seen permeating the entire wardrobe of many sensible people. The result is simply this: they never have anything of .really good quality, are always shabby, and always buying. None but rich people can to buy poor goods. This rule applies to all sorts of good—muslins, cloths,- car: pets, and table linen. We grudge the time we ace women speu'l in making up mulles of low grade for un er-clothing. There are so many stitches in a shirt! And.when it lasts one year instcld of two, as it should, there is just twice as much work done as need, to lie. Better make three shirts of fine quality muslin than six 'of a lower grade of muslin. Just so in flannels. A 114 y-cent all-Wool Shaker flannel will wear two or three times as lou as your flimsy cotton and-wool stuff a fey pennies cheaper. Es peCially in a. fami y of childreh, fabrics should he chosen fo. service that when made up they may deacon I from one child to an other, thus saving the mother tirn'e to stitch into her,,brain a little embroidery of thought and culture.

By this means Sou will be saved from sudden temptation to buy whAt is not really necessary, and forget notltlng, that you require.

Third: In the Fong run one aiwaya does better to buyAit one and the same place than to run abouClor the purpose of hunt ing up bar g ains!A regular 'customer can often get iavnis denied to an occasional pur chaser. Fourth: Never buy what ybu don't want simply because it is cheap. Cold Ablutions in Fever. In a,valuable article contributed to one of the-French medical jdurnals by Dr. L'Am _ben, he presents the following conclusions concerning the use of cold ablutions in fe ver, as practiced in France: They are es pecially useful in typhoid and the eruptive tevers, and strongly indicated in malignaht cases. They act upon the chief and most constant phenomena of these diseases, are especially antilehrile, and reduce the tent• perature materially. - They favor the re-es tablishment 'of a full, profound, I regular perspiration; render the secretions more active; make the skin supple, moist, and fresh; favor the anteoming of the eruption; allay cerebral and other nervous excitement; suppressing headache, coma, delirium, anti restlessness, and - induce sleep ; cause the pulse to fall eighto thirty heats. From twi, to eight hours is ;Jae duration of their ac tion, the ablutions to he repeated two to four times in the 24 hours. They have no laftuence upon the length of the sickness, bat na4or it milder. El IVUOLE NQ. , 1,00 I USBPUL AND ,S'OIIGEST/VE. .

Foreign countries have not only to pay tribute to England of their wealth da ting life, but even their bones have to fol low, in order to enrich British soil, as while living they worked to till British pockets. Australia sends an enormous quantity of bones to England. It has become such a heavy trade that the article itself was found too light for profit.
