WILMINGTON. N. C MONDAY. JULY 27, 1885.
At the Old Stand.
Messrs.' Giles & Murehison have re
turned to their former stand, in tbe
Mnrchison building. onFront street, and
a ramble through their extensive es
tablishment this morning was interest
ing, as showing not only the magnitude
of their .'business, but the excellent
arrangement ot their goods for the con
venience of salesmen as well as cus
tomers. The business requires the full
use two stores, with basements under
each. The basement under tbe crockery
store is devoted to the storage of crock
ery and glassware in the original pack
ages as they are received from on board
the vessels, while the other is devoted
to the storage of ploughs, plough cast
ings, steel shapes for agricultural im
plements, bar iron in appropriate racks,
nails, buggy and wagon materials, pot
ware and wood and willow ware. All
these different articles are arranged in
the most complete order with a strict
regard to detail, so that there can be
no posssible delay or confusion in se
lecting any article desired.
Entering the first floor by the South
door we came to hardware in all its
variety, conveniently stored or packed
upon shelves. In the centre of this
room is tbe private office of the propri
etors which i3 well lighted and from
which they can see tbe entire length of
the room. In the rear of the office are
bins containing tinware, so arranged
that one can see at a glance whatever
article be may desire to purchase, ilere
are also large quantities of tin ware in
the original packages. Near these is
arranged a large sample tablo upob
which every variety of hardware kepi
in stock. from a needle toi plough, may
be seen without causing delay to
either salesman or purchaser. The
stock of the entire room is arranged in
most perfect order, and eyery available
space is utilized either for the storage
or display of the merchandise.
The North store room of the building
is devoted exlusively to the display and
sale ol crockery, china and glass ware,
and here, a3 everywhere else on tbe
premises, the arrangement ot the goods
is as perfect as human skill can devise.
All of the goods in this department,
which arc known under the trade
names of "C. C." and "W. G," wares,
are direct importations from the large
potteries of Ennland, via Liverpool.
There is a large room in the rear of
the crockery department where goods
are taken from their original packages
and stored for salo as occasion may
demand.
The hard ware and crockery rooms are
of alike dimensions, each being MOlcet
long and 27 foet wide, .with 17 feet
pitch, and are well lighted and venti
lated. Literary.
The contents of the August Magazine
of American History are varied and of
substantial worth. It has four essays
on the Civil War, and an equal number
on other historical topics. Gen Thomas
Jordan's second paper on the "Begin
ning of the' Civil War in America,''
touches many controverted points in an
able manner; General Henry M. Cist
writes a chapter on "Cincinnati with
the War Feyer, .1801;" General Co
chrane discusses "The Charleston Con
vention,1' of which he was a member ;
the Editor, in a sketch of "Major Gen
eral John A Dix," describes the great
Union Square War . Meeting in New
York; Hon. James W. Gerard con
tributes a paper on the "Revocation of
the Edict of the Nantes;" Professor E.
W. Gilliam, in "Presidential Elections
Historically Considered," calls the at
tention of every voter in the land to the
inconsistencies of the electoral system ;
Ethilbert D. Warfield writes of -'John
Breckenridge, a Democrat of the Old
Regime." The pictures are by Theo. R.
Davis, and the portraits of Jefferson
Davis and'his first Cabinet are given
with much effect. Published at 30 La
fayette Place. New York City.
Won the Prizes.
From a private letter received from
Ashe vi lie this morning, by a gentleman
of this city, we learn that the Second
Regiment N. C. S. G. won the prize at
the State encampment for drill, dis
cipline and efficiency. This will be
good aews to the citizens of this section
who take pride in our State Guard,
and who feel a special interest in our
military organizations.
We also learn, from the same source,
that the Cornet Concert Club of this
city won the prize for the best music;
which is just what we predicted. It is
a mighty good baod. and there is none.
North or South, which can discourse
music in better style than the Cornet
Concert Club of this city.

How to Treat It.
Good watermelons are now abundant
and cheap enough to be within the
reach of almost every body. To enjoy
this delicious fruit properly, says an
authority on the subject, select a dark
green, fat one. with a yellowish spot
where it has hugged mother earth.
Pat it on ice for twenty-four hours, cat
a hole in one end of it and pour a bottle
of claret into the hole, plug it up and
put it on ice some more. . Cut
t in longitudinal slices, bring
t on the table surround
ed by wild flowers and other fancy
fixings, and you have a dish fit for the
ga(. Some luxuries palates, happily
accompanied by means enough to grat
ify their gustatory whinis. find one or
two bottles of campagne emptied into
the almost frozen melon, in place of
claret, a decided improvement. But
the man who cannot like a good, ripe,
sweet ' watermelon without wine, is
deserving of much pity.
