There are 80 many subjects treated of in this

poor Greeley for the present. since DR..

we suppose that Harper & Brothers, or any
of our other great enterprising publishers
would be happy to take charge of the Doctors
book. which, from the synopsis above given.

instructive. In the third place. we advise the
Doctor not to push his black eye and blue eye

races Of editors would prove, no doubt one Of the
most curious ever written. There is Greeley,

There is the Chevalier Raymond, who

as regards our own photograph and personal
appearance, we must decline the Doctors kind
offer for the present. 1t would, perhaps. be an
easy matter for him to tell us our tempera-
ment If we informed him of the particulars he
desires; but we are pretty well acquainted
with our temperament already. Besides. it

Well, the Chinese entertainment tailed and the

were thrown upon their own resources
and forced to all sorts Of shifts for

engaged in the retail candy and peanut

Singularly enough, numerous Celtic ladies, in
She same trade, occupied about the same To-
calities, and before long the Celts and the Ce-
lestials entered into partnerships, not only in
business but for life. A priest blessed the
bans, and there was 70 Cuylerism about the
ceremonies. They are living together now;
