Starting from Kennedy, N. Y., after waiting for tbe train eome two bourn, it belnc delayed by ether western trains, we arrived at Buffalo, where we bad a abort wait, which we nliKxed by occupying our Ume in eating lunch. Said lunch waa an drlictoua, and we to hungry, that It tanhbrt! very rapidly. Arriving al Niagara Fvllr " allttle BUr omT o'cfcS, sre hired one of tbe moat commodious sleighs with plenty of warm robes, we bed a moat delightful ride to I'roapect Perk. When 1 flrat caught a view of tbe wonderful winter picture, I thought if one could see Niagara Falls but ooca, let It be In winter. Tbe water above, and aa It fell oner the Amet Ican Falls, wgiuf that beautiful green that one admires to touch of tbe Horse Shoe Falls. All the trees on Goat Island (iboee . facing Uw falls) were beautifully fouled. Tbe Park looked like fairy land, everything was covered with the tame fowl ornamentation; trees, buildings and arch way. At the foot of the American falls ibe mist, sucoeaalvc snow falls and frees, log have made what they call tbe Ice mountain. It Is a hundred fefet blgti and at tbe base of tbe fells tbe moet gourvque sod curlout formations of ice.

£4lanamaferr'«. j If you want to know what j sort of spirit Guinct puts . into his work, look at his nit aiu st silk here under a mat' miy inji glass It is only a 75 ci ot silk. That price hits io jmy lor the silk, the ili'-in*.;. *the tnaking. the maker's jirolii iransporta lion, the I . S. I a rill of fifty j per cent., and our profit — j not very much lor raw mart - . rial. I ht're isn't a waste | ouii.t- in a piece of it. The j iross threaifs are supposed about them. 'I lie warp is as bright and even and strong as in the higher grades : but very little of it. That's the secret of (iuinet's strength. His silk is .silk. How we manage to put it below competition \\ e'd rather not tell jusi now. llut 51.65 for 51.25. 52 lor 51.50. and so on. Thai unprecedented dollar ladies' cloth 'or ;> rents — unpret i «J<"iited is exa.iJy the word— . iikout fifty colors one ccnsiaiiupiality ol clotli. ^6 inch . 54 sO ' for a 56 ilress. six ) arils. If we liad a lot nf unacceptable colors, the ' 1 loth might still lie dollar latlies'cloth but there wouldn't lie our putting it down to 75 cents. If there were some Haw in the making, or if the market were over-full, or if cloths were going out of use. this still might be dollar ladies' -cloth ; but it would have 10 go down to get sold. Not so. The colors arc right, the wool is right, the making is right, the market is comparatively empty, and fashion favors cloths. This unexceptionable dollar la-dics'-cloth goes down to 75 * cents ; and no one but us and another knows why. It doesn't concern you why. 1 Just like the black silks. Silkgrenadineshavecome; tiircc sorts: sewing-silk, plain I open-mesh, velvet brocade. "Sewing-silk " is a taking 0 name : ought not to be taken too literally. The silk is twisted and waxed and very j strong, though not so strong * as sewing-silk. The fabric * is perfectly plain and woven almost closely; $1.25 to $2.50 ; of exquisite fineness. The open-mesh is plain in thesenseof notfigurcd ; half-a-dozen styles ; $i to J1.75, * according to weight- The " silk is but slightly twisted, quite strong, and locked so tight in the meshes as not to slip with a little strain. The velvet brocade is the usual" combination of openmesh grenadine ground and velvet figures. About fifty styles have come. $2.50 to&i^ Fifteen-cent ginghams for ' ten cents: chambrays, little bits of checks, little checks ) and not so little — no compli- . cated plaids. Another roomful of Brus- . sels today, best five-frame Brussels, $ 1 a yard ; and still another part-of-a-roomful of Brussels not a whit better, 1 5'*25* The $1.25 Brussels are crowding out the Ingrain * best " extra super " at 60 cents. The Moquette room is full again : $1.25 for the richestlooking parlor carpet ! Moquette with its long, full, smooth pile ; richness itself, i If it doesn't wear so well as Axminster and Wilton at double the money it is quite as rich. Velvet, two qualities, $1 and 90 cents. Velvet is Tapestry cot No great mystery about it. Tbe mystery is further back, ia Tap- * estrv itself. 1

Tapestry of many makes utwl grades, but only prices ; best at 75 cents, and all the rest at 50. • Those who want the very best Ingrain for 60 cents a yard had better come quickly. And, if we can say it without conveyinga wrong impression, those who want any sort of carpet for threequarters had better come quickly. John Wanamakek. I THE CHAMl'loNi l'lcase note carefully the following reasons why this light is superior 10 all other artificial lights. 1st. Brilliancy, being equal to 45 sperm candles. 2nd Economy. This great volume of light costs on^-third of a cent |>cr ^ hour. 3d. Never breaks or smokes the chimney. No odor. 4th. Perfect safety, being of brass and nickle, cannot brake il it falls.aud having a current uf air cariicd through the centre of lamps and a non-conductor between the burner and oil fount, keeps the vessel and oil cool, so that explosion is impossible. 5th. !
