"Synchonology of the Principal Events In
Sacred and Profane History, from the Creation
of Man to the present time" is the title Of
book just completed, published by Stephen
Hawes of Boston.
The book is designed to be one of conven-
lent reference for students and literary men,
and while not quite as good as play" nor as
captivating as first class novel, for general
reading, is exceedingly handy to have in the
house and when its merits are understood,
will be considered almost as indispensable as
an unabridged dictionary. See advertisement

.IIe is certainly quite as ugly as Nasty.
7, many of his articles in broken English, he
sIrnasses all who have tried that class of
writing. But to fully appreciate him, one
must see and know him. He is about forty
eight years old, and is the quaintest specimen
OF humanity with which we have ever met.
Five years ago he was an auctloneer in
Poughkeepsire, New York. He has since
moved to New York City, where he keeps
boarding house amused by his irrepressibe
oddities. As he passes down broadway he
cannot escape observation. His broad, bent
form, his immense hat, his large, eagle like
ness is for chewing tobacco and telling stories.
There is no such story-teller in the land.
