skeptical gifts truth. We called into his
establishment yesterday, and were shown
through his stock of goods suitable for

cauters and glasses, sets Of Wine-giasses
and gOblets. vases, toilet sets, and the
thousand and one little nick-nacks
that are made so beautifully by the BO-
hemian artists. IN china and porcelain,
there are full decorated dinner sets, the
fashionable gilt band tea sets, breakfast
sets, toilet sets, vases, punch-bowls, etc,
from the manufactures of Limoges, and
other points In France and Belgium. In
this line we must not forget TO mention
