It is err- • r. t si nly s most attractive object, aiifl * ' sight vrhioh more than repeys the innm. J venienoe of an early toilet. Prof-R. II. it l'roomr thinks this is the comet ot 1888, r. * hicb be trace* hack to the famous cornel " I* of 1843. The cighputatloui made al f r, Washington have been regarded as going . •s far towsrd identifying it with the comets ' It of 1880 and 1843, which in turn have been id supposed in be the asms as the comet of i * IMS. If these great opmeta arc ail one j, and the same, and if the dates mentioned s lt comprise every visit that tbb cuuxg has L ,r paid to the sun since it was firat seen, then * « maniteatly, its period it grnxring shorter (, al a marvelous rate. The poeailile effects i ii of the tall of a comet upon the sun have H been frequently dlacaaaod of late, though s the idea that such an accident might prov. disastrous to tbc earth is not a new one. having boen entertained by Newton two hundred years aga Some months ago.

I . INVITATION. . Strangers pasvlnre through the'-'ty :ire reKijally invited to visit the store, and maka r free use of its conveniences ; leaving their hiegage under , check at any o. the doors, or in the Luggage Room in the Department of lhtbiic Coml fort. Really we meant to have ;j this important department in : full operation before every- ■ body got back from sea and mountain, lt is made for ■ strangers ; a^td they seem j to enjoy it. so far as it has - got. It consists - of a free S ' Reading Room for gende- , I men, a free Resting R,oom j for ladies, free writing-fiftiii " ties in both, closets, and other little conveniences; a soda and minerai-waier fountain ; that isn't free ; and a lunch- . j room to be added, j We make the great public ■ welcome there, beyond the ;; wont of any other house, so. far as we know. We think it will pay us to look after ro Public Comfort a litde, as a means of advertising. . There's nothing sly or crooked abolit it. We want vls- • itors to Philadelphia to have a good time, and io conned our ilort with it. New* tilings are coming, . apd 'fall trade is already begun. New things do not : come all together. They • come in a steady stream from now till Christmas. And ; they go in the same way. : They- have to. You may ; easily believe it, when you : see our house full all the : time, of goods^and of peo- ; pie taking them away. It . would be hardly worth speaking of so obvious a fact, bat ; for the moral; which Is: • Buy when you find what you ; want; for tomorrow some- [ body else will be after it New- tilings will crowd ; upon us now for mention ■ every day. Only a few can ■ get into the papers, except i m the most ' general way. ' It will be fair to come for | whatever you want and ^ expect to find it New foreign wraps have . come. There are jersey ' coats, jersey ulsterettes, 1 pelisses, and • others. The writer of this' hasn't even seen them. He has only heard of the flutter they are going to make. Wonderful silks have come. But we must say more about the .least of them than we have time for today.

Wc have neither time nor knowledge uxHy-to go into particulars. This is only an early notice that' the store is filling up with goods for fall. We need to say further to 1 you who live at a distance that you needn't go to the , city every time you want-any-J thing. We. take so much pains to send you what you want, that you ri k little in ! writing - tyr goods. Let us •• know, as/nearly as yotf can, " what ymi wan:, and we will send y4u sampl' s and prices, or takelpthi r it ans of finding out c;.» ■; tatyou do want J ohn W; . , a maker. ^yuKTII SENDING FOR.
