ILLUMINATIoN.-The extensive Book Store of
J. B. Cobb i Co., one hundred and fifty feet deep,
presented last night blaze of glory-being splen-
didly illuminated from tront to rear. The trans
pareucy which shone out at the window announ-
ced to passers that "Books for the Holidays
were to be found within, and although it is well
known that all manner and styles of good books
ale at all times to be found at Cobbs, so that this
statement might seem superfuOus, yet an entrance
into the store convinced visitors that there was
enough extra matter to warrant the proprietoTs in
changing their banners on the outer wall" 1t
would be impossible with our limited space, to
enumerate the books worthy of particular notice.
| We can only speak of several of the most prOm-
nent and rare-among which is Audubon's Birds
of America, the entire set costing Sis. This is
a most laborious and complete collection of the
works of the renowned naturalist. The "Gallery
of Famous Poets, printed on heavy tinted paper
and most superbly illustrated and bound is another
rich and worthy present for the Holidays. The
Dresden Munich and Berlin Galleries are cOllec-
tons of engravings from old and rare paintings of
the artists of those localities, and present never
falling st1dy to the lover of art Many other rich
books Of poetry, history and biography are to be
found upon the shelves of this mammoth book es-
tablisbment A larger stock of Holiday Books are
exhibited here this year than ever BEFORE and the
enterprise of the proprletors is meeting with fit
response from the readers of Cleveland, as the
crowds which fill the salesroom at all times will
testify. The store will be again Illuminated to-
night, and if you, kind reader, wish for juvenile
books, books for the aged grand-parent, or for
youthful companions, call at Cobb Il Co.'S and be
satisfied

WOODEN VS.. SILVER WATcHEs.-We saw a
good 'isen" acted out yesterday morning as We
were passing up Superior street. A countryman
who had probably brought to town load of pro-
duce for the market, was walking toward the
Square near the Forest City Store, stopping 10
look curiousy into the windows of the stores and
examine the arrangements for the holidays, when his
eye caught sight of Goodmsns big wooden watch
which pointed TO twenty three minutes before four
He gazed incredulously at it for moment, then
drew up huge warming pan Of a silver watch
from his capacious pocket, and compared the two.
His own watch had probably kept correct time for
quarter of century, but his faith in Goodmans
'city time" was complete, SO he pulled from his
pocket the key, and carefully set his time to com
pare with the other. Then thinking of course that
he was four or five hours behind his usual time of
getting home, he made some rapid tracks across
the Square toward the market, giving no one an
opportunity to correct his error "Phanzy his phe-
links" on arriving home and finding he was so
much ahead of time.

Mr.. HENsHAw's LEcTUEE.-The lecture ofMr.
Henshaw last night was one of interest, instruc-
ton and entertainment. The Art and Graces Of
Conversation were treated ofin scholarly and eff.
fectiye manner. The speaker gave no preamble
but opened at once with his subject All human
beings had some means of communicating ideas,
and the term conversation applied to all informa-
ton obtained, whether by printed, written or col
loquial media. He should speak merely of the
latter, and should speak of this under three heads
requirements and uses, topics, and abuses of
conversations. He then spoke eloquently of the
duty we owe to society, in cu!tivating conYersa-
tiona habits, as well as the personal enjoyment we
ourselves derive from such cultivation. Pleasant
coloqUial powers would more than cancel any
physical deformity, instancing Richard the Third,
Currau, Madam De Stael, &c. The ability to con-
verse well is great lever by which we can accom-
plish wonders. The first requisite in conversation
is a social and kind heart that we may please by
beng pleased The idea that all facts should be
presented in blunt and stern manner, is errone.
Gus We should do with our friends as Rarey does
with his horses, treat them kindly. We must
eradicate all envy jealousy, and all uncharitable
ness, and instill gentle emotions. The second re
quisite is knowledge ofsome sort, whether obtained
from books, nature, or otherwise. But this alone,
nor this knowledge with kindness would not be
enough-we must have social atmosphere
Grave and studious men are generally poor takers,
because they think it beneath them to talk non
sense Far better to talk nonsense than to allow
such awful pauses as are sometimes allowed when
the conversation flags. There is however an oppo-
site extreme, when thu tongues of men and women
like race horses run the faster the less they carry
A medium should be aimed at, and the advantages
of silence studied. The choice of subjects was
passed over with many valuable hints
The p.ovincialisms of our land were alluded to
with many capital and humorous anecdotes, show
ing the local pronunciation of many common words.
The Yankee, Southerner, Pennsylvania aud "0ut
Wester were faithfully represented with many
jokes, which kept the audience happily relieved
from tedium.
The lecture throughout was attentivey listened
to and heartily enjoyed by allpresent The speaker
has made himself faYorite of the Cleveland lec-
ture-goers. We regret that our space will not
allow more extended report of the discourse.
