ZOE inc lauleS. LII Is as good as the
best.

"THE CIRCUS IS COMING. We
have received q circular from Dan,
CASTILLO, stating that during the next
month, he will pay visit to Colum-
bia. And in addition to his other
attractions, will have the Barnum and
Van Amburgh menagerie on exhibi-
ton. He states that his circus COM
pany is perfect, and is positive that
no more complete and diversified an
entertainment has ever been brought
South. Save your fractional curren-
cy, little folks, in anticipation of the
arrival of Daniel, and his attendant
attractions.
SOMETHING NEw.-Mr. T. Nj. Pol
lock, of the restaurant of the same
name-a capital place, by the way
has just obtained a patent for the
manufacture and dispensation of
new tantalizer-the "Base Ball"
The name is an excellent one, and
the preparation ditto. It is COM
pound which the most fastidious in
dividual could hardly object to
unless he was "strictly" temper
ance man-from the fact that the
principal ingredients are health-pro-
ducing and invigorating. Be careful,
though, in imbibing, and not take
too many at one time, or you may
meet the fate of the Georgian, who
put "grass in his whiskey," by di-'
rection Of gay cavalier from the
Old Dominion.
A SOLID HoUsE.-Among the great
establishments which are the pride
of New York, the publishing house
of D. Appleton & Co., 443 and 445
Broadway, is worthy of special no.
tice. known for many years as the
means of introducing some of the
most eminent American authors to
the public, no less than for its judi
cious republications of transatlantic
literature, this house has gradually
extended its operations over the field
of letters till it has laid every reader
and thinker in our land under deep
and lasting obligations. The educa-
tional textbooks of the Appletons'
alone number more than 200, en-
bracing some of the most popular
works produced in America. On
their catalogue are found the time
honored Speller of Webster, with its
enormous sale of 1,25O,00O yearly,
and the Webster Reader, destined,

larity; also, Cornell's Biographies;
Quackenbos' Standard Text Books,
his United States histories, his
grammars, his natural philosophy,
and, lastly, his recently published
arithmetics, which are admitted to
surpass all others in the practical
tone of their teachings, and their re-
cognition of the important financial
changes which the last six years have
wrought. We may also mention
Youman's Chemistry, Harkness' ex-
cellent Latin Series, Hadley's Greek
Grammar, Arnold's admirable Latin
and Greek Manuals, Ollendorf's Sc
ries, and their various French, Spa
nish and German grammars and
dictionaries, confessedly the best COL
lection extant on the modern Ian
guagcs. In other departments, the
Appletons' publications are equally
valuable.
Above all, we would commend the
Appletons for the high moral tone Of
their publications. Their weight has
