Church, New York, and in other Episcopal
Churches. This number also has an article

Selleck & Co., corner of Town and High
streets, have laid upon our table che April
number of this interesting and fashionable
magazine. Its chief illustration is ''The
Suit of Armor," very beautiful steel plate
engraving, and dodble-page fashion plate.
Beside these there are lesser fashion designs
in abundance. The music, The Guards
Waltz, is very pretty, and far superior to
the ordinary run of magazine music. The
literary contents are superior.
Selleck & Co. have also favored US with a
copy of the Atlantic for April. The never
ending history Of Abraham Lincoln and
William II. Herndon appears in new dress
under the title of Pioneering" This is a
very interesting number.

piece of music, simple and easy, "The Song
of the Robin" enbellishes this number.
Andrews & Hull also have the Atlantic,
and all the late illustrated papers.

The NINTH WARD MEErING.-No man
can say that we are not in favor of the
Nicolson pavement. We have worked for
it and written for it, because we did and do
believe that it is the cheapest and best inn
provement ever devised for this city, but
we cannot, will not indorse the course of
factious men who are using the popular
feeling in favor of the Nicolson to distract
the Democracy and wreak puny VEN
geance on those who have beaten them for
nominations. STAND BY YOUR PAR
TY NOMINATIONS. You have more
assurance that a regular nominee of your
party will obey the behests of his constitu-
ents than one who, pretending to be DEM
ocrat, allows himself to be used by the
enemy. Men of the Ninth Ward, men of
Seventh, close upi Present front to the
enemy they cannot break, and when your
men are elected, tell them your will, and
it will be obeyed.
What assurance have you if you elect
one of these Republican candidates, that
be will 60 for the improvement, more than
his word? Not resolution was passed at
any of the Republican Ward meetings in
favor of the Nicolson pavement. Nor was
there any such resolution passed at the Re-
publican City Convention last night. Were
the Republican party, as party, in favor
of that kind of an Improvement, they would
have passed resolutions 80 that effect at
their Ward meetings and at their City
Convention. 1t is the doctrine of their
party organ in this city, that the capitalists
should control and direct the management
of the affairs of this city. The Republican
capitalists are opposed to the improvement,
and will control the Council, if it
shall be Republican, to defeat the
confirmation of the:contract for the con-
struction of the Nicolson pavement. Than
this nothing is more certain. Has the organ
of the Republicans in this city ever pro-
nounced in favor of this improvement?
Not once. In no issue has it proclaimed
itself in this matter, but sits mumchance,
waiting for something to turn up" Never
allow the utterances of men who are anx-
ious to get power at the expense of the
Democracy to control you. Vote clean
straight ticket and see that every Democrat
in your ward does the same thing. There
is more at stake. say these same men, this
spring than Nicolson pavement. The i'm
peachment of the President and the en-
franchisement of the negro both depend
on your votes.
DUPREz & BENEDIcT's MINsTRELs.-We
are sick. Attending the Opera House last
night to witness the performance of Duprez
and Benedict's Minstrels, we laughed till
we were sore. We had an idea that we had
seen all that is funny in the Cork Opera
But we, like the Queen of Sheba, had not
