consists of three things large waists, fat cheeks
and small feet. a,s

Street, New York. The price is Sc year. 1t
gives us about twelve pages of reading matter each
week. In politics it is conservative; and strongly
opposes the wild fanaticism that has brought the
country so near to ruin As critical journal it is
most useful; and it has opinions wish OF
faint-praise, damning and milk-and- watering the
matter in hand, but decided opinion. The opin-

is given with point and power Halleck, the poet
says of the Round Table, sit equals the London
Spectator, and excels the London Saturday Re
vieo." The Spectator is the voice of Old Eng
land, and the Saturday Rerieo is that Of Young
England. .......
