What People Want Nowadays. ~-People--nowadays,; in perchasing articles of any kind, require stocks which are extensive, varied —and fresh toselect from Especially is the above fact true when applied to purchasers ot dry goods, They know that, with the exception of a few staple articles, stylea are continualdy changing, and each year brings about Improvements in the manufacturing world by which the ree quirements of an advancing and discriminating age are kept pace with, All of the most eminent men in the mercantile world, having learned these things by experience, measure their prospective success by the pres. ent efforts they may put forth. They know the latter is a sure criterion of what the results will be. A striking exomplification of whervin enterprise is the measure of success is to found in the case of the triumphs achieved. by the well-known dry goods house ot A, Blumenthal,in this city, In avothercolama we publish his new advertisement, a perusal of which by the intelligent reader, will make plain the trae secret of his success. eee = Wholesale Hanging. Hester, Tully and McHugh, the condemned Molly Maguires, were curly on Monday last, at Bloomsbury, Pa., at-théir devotions, which Were interrupted by workmen erecting the scaffold, jast outside and in full view.of their cell. Tully and McHugh seemed resigned, but Hester clung tenaciously to hope and frequently aseerted his innocence. At 1@ o'clock the three condemned nen were led out of their cells to the scaffold, attended by their spiritual advisers. McHugh ascended the scaffold first, followed by Hester and Tally. None fajtered. Each was given a few moments to speak. Tully spoke fa.a low tone to the ‘priest, McHugt said that if he had taken 00d advice he would not be on the scaffold. What Hester said was the-hearts of all three ceased to beat. The necks of Tully and McHugh were braken. Hester died from atranbe long remembered by thos from . . de Vir a 8 Sherou! “I am alwo-t in guards with oop talbll roperty— . . morigeged_ up to the very bie dite so it in: the Nevada Bank vaults, his Justice almost v.Jueless, bis other stocks choked up with assessments, his V. »1d.T', Ruilroud in the hands of D.

To drop metaphor, they say that Mark three weeks, and that nothing but the closest kind of management and the blindest luck will avert a catastrophe.: The San Elizario Massacre. The reports from the El Paso and San Elizario Commission, appointed by the President and the Governor of Texas to enquire into the terrible affair there which resulted in the assassination of three Americans by a mob of Mexicans mostly residing _ there, others from the Mexican side of the river, are not yory reassuring. The Texan Commission is reported as very indignant at the ‘officers appointed by the President. The eburge is made tbat they were feasted and toasted, flattered and thas cajoled inte a conclusion entirely unsatisfactory to the Texan Commissioner. The only part of their report. which bas as yet been is, merely a recommendation that a force of two hundred United States troops be stationed thereat. If this . : _j be all, it would appear that the next . ’ proper thing to be done is to -appuint some proper tribunal to investigate thone two military Commissioners. But it would not be just to condemn them unheard. However, if that be the sum of their report, it is disgraceful, The people of those placea and vicinity are mostly Mexicans, who hate and detest the Americans and our Government. It is known that they obtained possession of those three men by promising them tection, and thut they immediatefy, without semblance of law, led them out'to a place of execution and nrassacred them, Isthat act to be endorsed, condemned, or ignored altogether?

What People Want Nowadays. ~-People--nowadays,; in perchasing articles of any kind, require stocks which are extensive, varied —and fresh toselect from Especially is the above fact true when applied to purchasers ot dry goods, They know that, with the exception of a few staple articles, stylea are continualdy changing, and each year brings about Improvements in the manufacturing world by which the ree quirements of an advancing and discriminating age are kept pace with, All of the most eminent men in the mercantile world, having learned these things by experience, measure their prospective success by the pres. ent efforts they may put forth.

Tully and McHugh seemed resigned, but Hester clung tenaciously to hope and frequently aseerted his innocence. At 1@ o'clock the three condemned nen were led out of their cells to the scaffold, attended by their spiritual advisers. McHugh ascended the scaffold first, followed by Hester and Tally. None fajtered. Each was given a few moments to speak. Tully spoke fa.a low tone to the ‘priest, McHugt said that if he had taken 00d advice he would not be on the scaffold. What Hester said was the-hearts of all three ceased to beat. The necks of Tully and McHugh were braken.

The reports from the El Paso and San Elizario Commission, appointed by the President and the Governor of Texas to enquire into the terrible affair there which resulted in the assassination of three Americans by a mob of Mexicans mostly residing _ there, others from the Mexican side of the river, are not yory reassuring. The Texan Commission is reported as very indignant at the ‘officers appointed by the President. The eburge is made tbat they were feasted and toasted, flattered and thas cajoled inte a conclusion entirely unsatisfactory to the Texan Commissioner.

But it would not be just to condemn them unheard. However, if that be the sum of their report, it is disgraceful, The people of those placea and vicinity are mostly Mexicans, who hate and detest the Americans and our Government. It is known that they obtained possession of those three men by promising them tection, and thut they immediatefy, without semblance of law, led them out'to a place of execution and nrassacred them, Isthat act to be endorsed, condemned, or ignored altogether?
