N. B.-A WORD OF EXPLANATION to those
who have known us under the style of Evans &
Co. The Business located by us at No. 677 Broad
way, New York City, is the oldest established
house in the country, and is known worldwide as
the original Swans & Co.'s Gift Bookstore. ="
Many have taken the advantage of our popularity
to advertise under the same name, to increase
their trade-to protect the few who may be unac-
quainted with us, we would state that we have no
connection with any other Gift Book House-and
though many advertise under the name of Evans
& Co., the firm constituted by ID. W. EVANS and
]. III. PRESTON, is the first and only concern
rightfully using the name. But to prevent all con-
fusion in the future, we shall use the style of
ID. w. EVANS & CO.,
and all persons wrongfully using the appellation
to mislead the public, will be made to suffer the
penalty of the law.

statement of the business of the New York Central Rail
road Company for the last six years. framed from the
companys reports from 1855 downwards. The
ces and earnings of the company have been decreasing
yet the company stuck steadily to semiannua dividend
of four per until the last The statement shows that
such dividends made out of capital by the
of bonds-that is, creating stock and bonds in
order to maintain the appearance Of remunerang bust
ness and consequently increasing the price of its stock in
Wall street. When the directors Of railroads
among the most rabd spectators on the bourse, al
ways infer that there great probability that the stock
in which they speculate, Of railway companies in
which they directors, jobbed according to the
management Of the road for Wall street purposes At the
present there many railroad companies that
cannot pay their hired laborers regularly or in FULL and
back debts for mere wages are accommodating.
Railway property is among the most important of the
country but there too many competing roads, and the
transportation OF of tho Western railroads must fall
off from this alone In mild winters like the last,
the water navigation will enter into successful competition
with tho railroads.
The West is suffering from the continued manufacture
Of irresponsible shin plaster currency instead Of using
the precious metals alone.
