Ten YEARS IN VAIL STREET.-This
is the title Of one of the most interest
ing and peculiarly exciting works yet
published, aud Astounding rs it does
with important Information and
deeply interesting glimpses at the
mysteries and miseries Of stock and
money speculation, it will be read
with peculiar interest by all, not only
in this section but everywhere else.
We have been shown some Of the adj
vance sheets by Mr.. William Marriott,
sole agent for the work In this section,
who is now canvassing Gold Hill for
subscribers. It IL q handsomely pre-
pared work Of $50 pages, well bound,
printed in clear type, on heavy white
paper and deliberately illustrated
throughout, with finely executed en-
cravings of scenes in Wall street, and
truthful portraits OF the "bulls and
bears" and other celebrities of the
street" The author, William w.
Fowler, is son Of Professor Fowler, of
Amherst College, and son Of Noah
Webster, whose name, as the author OF
Webster's Dictionary, Is known the
world v Mr.. Fowler was himself
IN Operator" for many years. and
his sketches of the noted spectators
and incidents In the lives Of those who
have made Wall street famous through
out the world, are graphic and fasci-
mating. He shows up, with n facile
pen, the inside operations Of the
.'ring," records the mysterious doings
of the spectators, tells how the "cor-
nerSs, are gotten up, exposes the
tricks and stratagems employed to
plumber the unwary, gives n complete
history of the panic Of '57 and the gold
conspiracy of go, together with a full
account OF his own experience while
in search of q fortune. There Is moth
ing that we read with more intense in
terest than stories Of sudden wealth;
there is something dazzling In the
quick accumulation of property, and
there Is something painfully interest
ing in the speedy loss of it. The
chances of speculation have fascina-
tions for almost all classes. There Is
nothing in fiction that has more pleas
ing romance than the tales Of hunting
buried treasure, and there is nothing
that ordinary readers are so much for
rs the tales of the ups and downs OF
personal adventure In the money mar
ket. The sketches of Drew, Wander
bilt, Jerome, Fisk, Gould, and others
in this work will be read with interest.
The author writes in q very lively,
readable style, with the frequent
humor which usually characterizes
operators in Wall street. But MIR.
Marriott, as we said before, Is canvass
ing for the work, and Dur citizens will
all be able to see, read and appreciate
for themselves.

another column, a grand benefit for

cises, Professors Pasmore and Sauers

sion.
