The space usurped by
STORY ADVERTISEMENTS
renders the taking of weekly story papers
almost superhuous, except 10 those who insist
upon reading an exciting tale to the end. Upon
taking up one of the four great dailies-for in
stance, the Times, the Tribune, the Herald, or
the Wortd-you can never be certain OF no!
finding three columns OF tue last page occupied
by the first chapters OF a story commenced in
one of the weekles.
Mr.. Bonner commenced this expensive bit
paying means of advertisement, and several
imitation Bonners are treading in his footsteps.
Once week, on the average, the eighth page OF
these immortal dailies beams with three columns
of romances of the very tall.end of which ap.

chapters of this exciting novelette, will be found

example in Peg Wellington" ;" of making book
out of play.
This has become common work nowadays.
A Fash of lightning and The Lo cry of Life
have undergone similar transmigraMons.
THE DEMOCRATS
couldn't hold their meeting last night, because
II rslned.
Their arrangements consisted of one solitary
ramsbackle plat orm erected in Eighth street,
midway between the Bible House and Cooper
Institute.
D 1t was expected that there would be demon
strations of an unhealthy character.
The only demonstrations that were so were
those of the weather.
The police arrangements that had been i'm
provised at Mulberry street were unusually
extensive and ingenious, but will not be called
into requisition until the next fine night.
1t has been discovered that the
ALLE-NGLAND ELEVEN
are not quite as good at base ball as the Nor
risianian's.
in a recent game, that lasted two hours aud
twenty minutes they lost good deal by low,
short thro wing, used as they are to throw to-
wards the wicket, aud for the most part at
short distance.
An immense crowd witnessed the contest be.
tween them and the Union Clab of Morrisiana
at Hudson City.
Everything got equally applauded, the blum
ders as we'll as the brillancies; every miss went
for hit.
poDwoRrHs HALL,
where Blltz and Bobby have for the last few
weeks been holding forth, has just come under
the ban OF the police, and been pronounced
unsafe. The buildings to the north of it have
been torn down, aud excavations are going on.
1t Is therefore matter for congratuation that
Blitz and Bobby have removed to safer quarters,
since the northern and western walls of the
hall exhibit an unpleasant tendency to bulge.
SUSAN THE SENSIBLE
has been holding an other meeting in behalf Of
Eewing-machine operators.
The object was cooperation.
She eoquently urged the formation OF a
WOrkingwoman's Union, and impressed upon her
fellow-sisters the Importance OF their being able
to do many things besides sewing.
The sober and quietly elegant parlors of the
Carey sisters were filled on Tuesday evening
by an audience who listened with great favor
TO some readings by
PROF. ROBERT R. RAYMOND,
of Brooklyn.
His subjects were Shakespearan, the selec-
tions being from O.he'lo and Henry The Fourth
The reading was mere feeler upon the par
OF Prof. Raymond, preliminary to a public
course In this city, and, II successful here
throughout the United States.
THE DERBY ATHENRUM
promises to be an excellent thing in Its way.
1t has been established at No. 680 Broad
way, and besides exhibiting many good fea-
lures, embraces departments where books, sta
tionery, and paper-mache work are on hand.
Every purchaser of articles of the value of S.
and upwards receives certificate OF ownership
OF an undivided interest IN the works OF art in
the gallery, the distribution to be made at the
end of four months.
1t is proposed that at the Atheneum any work
that has been published in the United States
whether cheap or costly, can be procured.
AT WEST POINT,
the family and friends OF the late General Sedg-
wick had dreary time yesterday in witnessing
the unVeiling of the monument that had been
erected 10 his memory.
The monument consists OF statue in bronze,
obtained from the melting OF three large can
non captured by the 9th Corps in battle.
Launt Thompson, the artist, OF this city, fur
nished the design and the Hero OF the Wilder
ness has noble commemoration.
Strange enough, the authorship OF
''TEAR DOWN THE FLAUNTING LEI
is being claimed by Mr. William GLAND Bourne,
editor of The Soldiers Friend.a
