i THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1872. . ATRADE EVENT. ‘Bight Leading Business Hous- es Throw Their Latch- Strings Out. Opening Bay on Wabash Avenue--- What the Shoppers Saw, and How the Herckants Tet Them. Some facts derive vastly-increased importance by aggregation. Tho opening dsy of a mer- cantile establishment is a circumstance alto- gether usul, but it is an event of uncommon occurrence when half a dozen adjoining houses in leading lines of trade unite in an opening day. ~Readers will not need to be told that this does ot mean the Iiteral opening of newly-oceupied ‘premises, for several of the fims in question vore long ago settled in the handsome business quarter, on Wabash avenue. But on opening day the merchant takes care to see that his visi- tors .are confronted with the best possible array of mew stock. It is not tog much to eay that though mumerous hendsome stores were months ago finished in that locality, the recent completion of the su- perb jewelry premises of Messrs. Giles, Brother & Co., Nos. 206 and 263 Wabash avenue, have Lad much todo with the present prominent claims of the neighborhood. The formal open- ingof this beautiful store took place yesterday afternoon and evening, though the firm have been in business in their new quarters for some weoks. Yesterday overything was in place, The_broad mirrors duplicated and reduplicated the interior effect of show cases and counters in silver, marble, plate glass, and rich carved wo00ds, filled with the sumptuous stock that has made ~ the reputation of the house and brooght them to take rank with Tif- fony' and Ball & Black in the trade. Yesterday their premises were thronged all the afternoon and evening, and not merely with curious lookers on, though these wero am- ply repaid for their visit. But trade was active, and holiday goods_aud gift purchases passe into admiring hands. Never havo Messrs. Giles, Brother & Co. made more liberal preparations For the holidsy trade, already begun, and to con- tinue for the next few weeks. ey are to be congratulated for their season’s achievement in the erection and occupancy of their beautiful store, and a multitude of citizens were yester- day witnesses to its perfections. The upper floors of the Giles building are oc- capied by the . W. W. STRONG FURNITURE COMPANY, their retail rooms being those great doumblo salesrooms at Nos. 266 and 268 Wabash avenue, and their factory, Nos. 853 t0359 West Randolph street. Never has this old and successful honse offered more and better attractions to the pub- lic and the trade than on yesterday. It would seem as if the taste must be faulty which conld ot rest with favor upon some one or the other of the styles displayed in chamber sets in all the rich woods, whose trimming had ex- hausted theupholsterer’s art, in the most approv- edmodern fabrics. Furniture forthe chamber, the parlor, the library, the dining-room, the hall, the office ; for the palace or the modest home, bed- Ging of all_decriptions in the choice and uni- form qualities long & specialty with this honso, Decorative goods, of all descriptions, cornices and mirrors of esceeding richness, with every ad- junct of marquetrie, bronze, or Egmch.in, up- bolstery goods in marvellously besutiful and varied lines, and ecattered all throughout the warerooms_the rich foreign importations of Trench and Swise goods, for which the househas an established name. These and more were the features of the ogining of the Strong Furniture Company, yesterdsy, visited by many hundreds, with large gales throughout the day and evening. Next adjoining this firm are IRA P. BOWEN & CO., Nos. 262 and 264 Wabash avenue, dealers in crockery, glasswere, and ching, some time ago occupied their new store, which is admirably fitted up and arranged for their business. It is spacious and well lighted. The shelves reach to the ceiling on each side and are filled with goods. The stands on the floors also hold part of the immense stock. Their constant throng of visi- tors yesterday had opportunity to witness that their holiday goods have been received and were freshly shown, though, indeed, every day is an opem'ng day, 88 every day mew goods ere received and placed on exhibition. There are all kinds of articles in the crockery, %lnss, and china line, besides articles of terfu.

Holiday goods were in great cemand and the demand will continue until the Lolidays are past, The firm will continue to xe- ceive ‘accessions to their stock, every day and whether purchased ornot they are worthy of inspection. €. D. ATSTIN & CO., No. 260 Wabash avenue, dealers in cutlery, mans, and powder, exhibited their stock yester- dzy. Their teble and pocket cutlery is from the best manufactories.

EAMNPSON, GILBERT & CO., farniture dealers, opened in their new quarters, Nos. 267 and 269 Wabash avenue, the first, wo believe, in their neighborhood.

BURLEY & TYBRELL, established in 1838, and one of the oldest houses in Chicago trade, and still the old association of A. G. Burley and John Tyrrell, instead of a ‘many-times changed succession under the firm name. We do not see that they are not as zeal- ous, and earnest, and successful in holding the front rank in their line asif they hadnot the laurels of so many years to rest upon. They were among the first: after the fire to reopen in permanent quarters, on the corner of Wabash avenue an Van Buren street, and their opening yesterda; svas only the choden occasion of caliing a clond of witnesses to examine their proparations for the holiday trade, comprising a variety of wares useful and ornamental for the table, the mantel, and_simply decorative and artistic, in china, glass, Parian, marble, from all the sources of supply in the plastic art from Europe to Ja- an. This house has on its hands some of the 'qiest contracts in its line ever executed in the Uniied States, and they have, within the present week, forwarded to French manufactories_the decorative designs for a home order of this kind that will be & marvel in extent and beauty. The multitude of old friends of Messrs. Burley & Tyrrell made = good turn-out yesterday, and, with them, s large and constant stream of gen~ eral visitors and patrons attracted by the fact that six of our great trade premises had solected the enme day for._this display of the merchants’ taste and liberality. WEBSTER BROTHERS, Nos. 270 and 272 Wabash avenue, opened at their new store, yesterdey, o new stock of millinery, laces, etc. The number of visitors was large. They had the opportunity to admire bonnets and hats made in the latest style, and adorned with trimmings remarkablo for the exquisite taste ex- ercised in producing a beautiful and harmonious effect. The immense variety of French hats, just imported, were enough to bewilder even the feminine mind, and esclamations of “lovely,” “beautiful,” and ** exquisite” wereheardail over the store. The assortment of laces is very fine. The establishment is under the direct superin- tendance of the members of the firm, and cus- tomers will find it Yer{) much to their advantage to examine this snperb stock, especially as they are never allowed to exceed the minimum, and n_rteyas reasonable as at any other place in the city, Justly Celebrated. Tho justly-celebrated Grover & Baker sewing ma- chines have been epecial favorites for the last twenty years, but the Company, not satisfied with their pres- ent envialle reputation, have produced, after a long eeries of experiments, and at great expense, their new improved shuttle (lock-stitch) machines, to which they ‘would now invite special attention, believing fhem to Do superior to every other shuttle ‘Eewing machize in the market. They are strong, simple, substantial, well made, and, in short, a masterpiece of power and capa- city, and, ¥ith all the rest, the price is as low as any first-class machin, and more attachments nished free, Seeing is believing.

Absence of Professional Beggars--- The Woman’s Aid Society. The lsbors of the- Relief and Aid Society at - present, though by no means what they were a year ago to-day, when an average of 20,000 femilies claimed the attention and substantial 2id of the organization, are still heavy enough to necessitate rigid economy, searching scrutiny, andhard work. There are mow on the register about 580 families, aggregating 2,125 persons. The daily report for one day, at the close of last week, shows the following exhibit: Number of sick and aged men with families, 178; number of able-hodied widows with families, 164 ; num- ber of sick and aged widows with families, 207; total, 549; sick and aged single men, 2; sick and aged single women, 81; open account on rogisters, 582, number of men, mot in- cluding single men, 178; women, not in- cluding single women, 519; children, 1,365 ; total, 2,195, Averoge number in each family, 892{. Permanent rent is being paid for 54 fami- lies, and temporary rent for 67 families ; total, 121. Permanent rations are being distributed among 186 families, and temporary rations for 134 families; total, 820. Permanent fuel is | being received by 333 familics, and temporary fuel by 156 families ; total, 589, Fuel rations consist of one ton of coal for six weeks. For the month of November the Society hes furnish- ed 250 tons of coal. The monthly report for November is 28 yot incomplete, the bills for gro~ ceries and other provisions not having been pre- sented yet. The customis forbutchersand grocers to present their acconnts on the first day of the month. These accounts necessarily consti- tute & vory important item in tho expediture of the Society. For the month of November, it is expected that tho expenses will be abont $25,000, exclusive of the medical department, and tho cases under treatment at the hospitals. The ofiicial monthly report, which is made dur- ing the first week of the month, will give zll the figures. During the past week the cold weather has driven a large number of persons to seck assistance, and this has increased the work and expenses of the Society, and this, it is ex- pected, is only the precursor of more heavily in- creased Inbors during the next two or three months. There is one point in connection withthe re- lief work of the Society and of the county au- thorities which has Litherto escaped general observation, eud thet is, the freedom of the city from professional beggars, This immunity from & torment to which human nature can never be- come convoniently hardened, is owing to the labors of the Relief Society and the Dopartment of Public Charities under the Superintendency of Dr. Ben, C. Miller. Strangers from other cities are frequently struck with the pleasing absence of beggarsin our strects, and attribute it, unthinkingly, to tho amazing entorprise of tho citizens and the opportunities for work offered by the business of the city. ‘There are plenty of peoplein the city who be- long to the pauper clas, people who appear to have been born beggars, and who can bo con- verted into workers by no sort of process, hu- man orsuperhuman. = These aradealt with by the county suthorities, and either transported to ealthier climates or furnished quarters at the County Poor House. Really deserving persons who, but_for timely aid, would bo beggars, aro assisted by the Reliof and Aid Society, and thus kept alive until the snows of winter shall have vanished, and the kindly sunshine of spring thawad the frozen ground, and thrown open the avenues of commorce, and transformod the de- pendents into independent workers, WOAN'S ATD SOCIETY. A meeting of the Woman's Aid Bociety was held yesterday afternoon in the oftico of George Seovil, Esq., i‘o. 158 Washington street, Mr. C. Culver in the chair, Miss Dryer acting as Secre tary.

The motion prevailed, The report of the Committeo on the Work of | the Society, laid over at & provious meeting, was taken up and amended. The gist of the report, 29 adopted, is contained in the following resolu- tion : Resolred, That ome of tho objects of the Woman's Add Association bo to establish & home for the working classes of women and girls; the immediate eatablish- ment of an Employment Agency at our hesdquarters where women and girls, either residing Bere or strangers coming info the city, can be Teceived and aidod to find employment in all departments of labor ; plso, that this Socety cstablish and_sustain industrial schools and mothers’ meetings in all paris of thecity.

A Remarkable Experience with a Grizzly. From the San Francisco Bulletin. A gentleman who arrived o few days ago from the lower country, where grizzly bears help the ‘herders to take care of tho sheep, relates a curi- ous bear adventure which occurred to an Indian herdman in his employ. He sent the man to o distant portion of a large ranche to look after a herd of sheep, The Indian ot nightfall got un- der a shed with a roof of branches, but open on all sides, and lay down in his blankets, ter a few hours sleep, he was awakened by feeling tho hot breath of some animal on his face. He ‘moved his erms, and at once understood the sit- uation—a huge bear was snnfing him. The man, with great presence of mind, dotermined to keeg perfectly atill, for ho know if he moved or crie: out, one blow of thoso huge paws would break his slkull like & walnut. Bruin scratched off the blankets and seized the Indian by the leg. Though suflericg terribly, the brave fellow did not allow 2 fironu or ery to escape him. The bear dragged him from the hut for some dis- tance and then commenced to dig a hole to lay the Indian in and cover him up from the coy- otes. After the grave hadbeon dug deep onough the bear (contenting himself with about n pound of flesh from tho victim's thigh) moved the body to the hole and covered it up. The Indian man- aged to kecp tho earth over his face loose enongh to aliow him to breathe, and when the bear retired, he crawled out toward the musteng, which was picketed some yards outside of the hut. With great difficulty he mounted, and then rode toward the ranche house. A doctor was sent for, and pronounced the wounds, though severe and painful, not likely to prove fatal. The next day a hunt was organized, and the grizzly was killed in the neighborhood of the spot where he had stowed awsy his intended meal. ——— Dedline of Reverence for Birthe Trosingular examples of the manner in which reverenco for high birth is decreasing in Great Britain havo eceatly bosn mado public, In tho first case, at the Warwick County Petty Sessions, two Lords and ubout & dozen County AMagistrates wero oceupied _during nearly a day in deciding upon & complaint made by Lord Conyers against a Mr. Edward Tackwell, tutor to Jr. Liebort, of Wellesbourno Hall, charging the_defendant with Dbaving violently asseulted his Lordship. Tho evidence was contradictory and not partioularly interesting; but it appeared that the tutor, hoving become involved in o guarrel with the Lord, in which each of the par- tios exhibited decidedly sggressive pro- pensities, wound up tho diseussion by pummel- ing his Lordship on the gravelled paths of his own lordly domain, and_executing his work so eftectually that Lis Lordship was obliged to nso crutches In coming iato court to fell his story. An yetit did not appear that any great moral shock had followed this summary way of usi g & nobleman; but the Conrt, waiving 21 distinc- tions of birth, appeared merely dosirous of ascertaining which of the two men had acted the most like a blackguard in order to apportion the blame justly. The other case was worse still. Her Majesty the Queen of England wished to open the roads 'in the drowsy little town of Richmond on Thames, in order that a water- ipe might be laid from the Crown conduit on 1chmond Common to the royal laundry at Ker, and the Town Vestry, as a matter of form, was re %nesled to issue an authorization for the work to be done. But it nfizpeus that there was an apprehension that the water supply of the Richmond folks would suffer danger of being injuriously affected ,2? the proposed work ; &0 the Vestry gargmgbo ly refused to gr&nt the re- quired authorization. A request that this de- cision should be rescinded received still less favor, and Her Majesty was given distinctly to understand that her Richmond subjects were determined fo hold to their rights though Her Mejesty should never get her clothes washed. So the Queen's washervomen must go eleewhere for their water; mnd the Queen finds herself Lelp- less to prevent it. SEA-SICKNESS. New Neans of Averting the Malady— DMir. Bessemer?’s Theories Reduced to Practice. Tho London Times, in itsissne of Nov. 11, thus refers to the subject of *‘ the Bessemer ship saloon:” The germ of the principle, it says, lies in the'ship’s compass and in the sus- pended cabin lamp ; in fact, it has often been suggested that cabin furniture should be simi- larly suspended, and the idea appears feasible, althongh really it is not practicable—nt least, il would not prevent sea-sickness—for the reason that, although an article of farniture so sus- pended wonld enable its occupant to maintain a horizontal position, it would still follow every vertical motion of the vessel. But there is in every vessel when pitching or rolling & neutral axis, or point of no motion, and it occurred to 3Mr. Bessemer, in thinking out tho matter, that Dby suspending & saloon &t & point coincident with this axis, he would attain this desired end. The iden promised well ; it needed but one con- dition to be complied with in practice to insure its_success in preventing sca-sicknoss ; that con- dition was that the equilibrium of the saloon should not be disturbed, or, in other words, that the Joad should be equally distributed at start- ing, and that no change in its disposition shonld be made during tho passage. This, of ‘course, meant that no passenger should move from his seat, much less Erominmle the upper deck, & condition which of itself would be fatal to tho adoption of the system. There was_also the apprehension that disturbance ‘might arise from the oscillation to which 2 pen- dulous body suspended from a body in motion was liable, So that idea was abandoned, but not before Mr. Bessemer had designed a vessel with a suspended cireular saloon, 50 feet in diameter and 25 feet high, retained in s horizontal posi- tion by menus of & heavy counterbalance weight. Purzuing the subject still further, it oceiurred to Mr, Bessemer that if he could not prevent mo- tion by his method of susponsion, he could, at any rato, arrest it, the moment it was set up. To this end ho has designed asaloon 70 feet in length, 30 foet in wWidth, and 20 feet in height, carrying onthe top & promenade deck at & height of 7 fectabove the ordinary deck of the vessel. Tho points of suspension of this saloon will be in a lino with the keel of the vessel, and coincident with the neutral axis of tho ship when rolling. The saloon will be well lighted and ventilated, and will be fitted at each end with four 1pri.ucipul rooms for ladies and four for gentlemen, which, as well as the romenade deck, will bo accessible at all times y means of a broad steircase free from all mo- tion. The governing principle of this suspended saloon coneists of & sct of powerful hydraulic apparatus connected with the under side of the flooring, and so arranged that as_the vesgel rolls ‘to either side the pressure or resistance afforded by the water is instantly brought into play, and utilized in checking the motion. There is no doubt that this arrangement could be made automatic, and it probably will be in the course of time, but for the present Mr. Bessemer controls the apparatus by & pair of vory, sensitive equilibrium valves, actuated by a hand lever. At this lever stouds o steersman, Who, with & curved spirit-level before him, ‘watches the slightest indication of rolling in the vessel, and in an instant suppresses the least tendency of the saloon to follow the motion of the l!hlifi. It will be seen that, so far, the rolling action of the vessel has been provided against.~ It moy therefore be asked how the effects of pitchin, are met? In the circular saloon propose by Mr. Bessemer, both motions wero pro- vided against ; in the present saloon tho effects of rolling only can be prevented. The difficulty of pitehing, however, is overcomo by increasing tho length of the vessel to such an _estent a8 to insure longi- tudinal stability. The principle of the saloon, in fact, is to bo carricd out in & steam- ship which has been ‘epecially designed by Mr. T Reed, C. B., for the channel passage. This vessol will be 350 feet long, with & 45 fect deck beam, and 65 fect over her paddle-boxes, and whicli, when fully londed, will draw but 7 feet 6 inches of water, thus enabling her to meet the requirements of the present shallow harborage on either side of the channel. The saloon will be placed in tho centre of tho vessel, o position now generally occupied by the engines, which will be placed fore and aft, and will dnive two pairs of paddle-wheels, as the small draft of the vessel will not admit of the use of a BCrew. Bhe be propelled b cngines of 730 homsc-power _norhinal, indicating up to 4,600-horee power, and it is ex- Eeczed to nitein's speed of twenty miles an our, which oxpectation her small immersed area of midship ection fully justifics, The ves- sels will be double-ended, £0 as to enable them to enter and quit existing harbors, aud ot each end will be & well-eppointed cabin for second- class passengers. At each extremity these ships will have & very low freeboard, go that they may cut through the waves instead of rising to them. This, combined with their great length, peculiar shape, and the distribution of the weights they carry, will render the pitching motion o elight as to be Bearcely appreciable in a saloon eituated midway of the length of the vessel. To an engineer the results of the principle propounded by Mr. Bessemer are self-cvident ; thero are, however, othors to whom they can- not, of course, be made 50 clear on paper. In order, therefore, to domonstrato to all the feasi- bility of bis scheme, Mr. Bessemer has construct- ed 2 large working model in tho grounds of his residence. Modelit can hardly be called, either, inasmuch 28 it is larger than the midship section of one of the Citizen steamboats. The arrange- ment consists of & twenty-feet length, the hull of a vessel of twenty feet beam, sunk in a brick it, and carried on & longitudinal axis, Similar- ly . suspended within the Tepresentative ship i8 & cabin mensuring sixteen fect by ten feet, beneath tho floor of which is the hydraulic arrangement for arrest- ing motion, or, in other words, for locking the cabin. A small square hole in the floor admits the body of the steersman, who sif double-bandled levor working horizontally, and having just beyond it a curved spirit-lovel sur- mounted by a graduated scale and a pointer. In the centre of the scale is the zero point, and so long s the cabin preserves a true level the pointer stands at zero. Directly, however, tho slightest deviation from the horizontal occurs the pointer will stand_either to the right or left of zero, according to the direction of the roll of the cabin. The object of the steersman is, of course, to keep the pointer exactly at zero, ond this he easily accomplishes by slightly moving the handle either one way or the other, a5 may bo necessary. An oscillating mo- tion 18 given to the Lull through n crank-shaft worked_through toothed gearing by & small en- gine placed outsmde the hull, ’Ehis motion amounts to 14 degrees each way, ropresenting & in front of a total roll of 28 degrecs, the number of oscilla- |- tions being ten per minute. It need hardly be pointed out that both the extent and frequoncy of the roll are much in excess of the average in practice, but, notvithstending this, tho cabin oes not indicate & deviation of mora than from 1 degreo to 134 dogrees from the_horizontal, It is, moreover, to be borne in mind that the light glructure forming the cabin is very readily in- fluenced by the slightest vibration, 2nd buf in- adequately represents a saloon weighing many tons, the inertia of which alone would id its stabilit The Society of Arts, ever on the alert to stim- ulate invention, and to promote ecientific prog- Tess, some time since offered its gold medal for the best design for & steamer in thich the horrors of the_Chennel passage should be re- duced to o minimum, if not altogether abolish- ed. To this Society, therefore, Mr, Bessemer's invention became an object of direct interest, which led to Mr. Bessemer inviting the Couneil to witness the working of his model. The invi- tation was readily accepted, and a number of §f;:tlemen from the Society met on Saturday ot . Bessemer's residence and inspected the er- rangement. Among themwere gentlemen of em- inence 08 practical mechanicians, and others equally eminent in naval matters, 'After o core- ful investigation of tho_model, the opinion was unanimous that the principle was sound, and that it would work out successfully in practice. Perfect 08 it now appears, it may yet prove ca- pable of even further development.” Mr. Besse- ‘mer himself, with the epirit of a true artist, states that he by no moang believes ho has reached perfection in the invention. Evennow he gees his way to the automatic governing ar- rangement by which the services of the steers- ‘man mli bo dispensed with, although he recom- mends the employment of a steersman in the first instance; and he frankly admits that some ]olthgr bmi? tzugxtlus fiwg may push on the work 0 has initiated to a higher point than h, o ag @ has ot~ —_— Beacon Light Division, S. of T., will g stor auppr und socidl :l::tlogainmeg;v::;: ‘ednesday evening, at Bethel Hall, ¢ Liako and Desplaines stroots. v SSEI et MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH New York Financial News.
