HARPER,S BAZAAR.

Free from all political and sectarian discus,
sion, devoted to fashion, pleasure, and in
struetion, it is just the agreeable, compan-
lonable, and interesting paper which every
mother and wife and sweetheart will require
every son, husband, and lover to bring home
with them every Saturday evening. PJtiia-
delphia Ledger.
This paper at the outset occupied place
not hlled by any American periodical, and
won for itself a deserved popularity. 1t is
really the only illustrated chronicler of fash
ions IN the country Its supplements alone
are worth the subscription price of the paper.
While fully maintaining its position as a mir
ror OF fashion, it also contains stories, poems,
brilliant essays, besides general and person
al gossip. The publishers appear to have
spared no labor or expense necessary to make
the Bazaar the most ATTRACTIVE journal that
can possibly be made.-Bostoar Saturday Zee

THE Best WAY 40,

Every successful advertiser will say
this. Seed strewn there-if the seed

ly a hundred fold. Placarding the
dead walls, and showering hand-bills
among the people, are anxiharies in
advertising, but it is doubtful whether
they more than pay the expense, while
there is no doubt that they are a nuis-
ance. The blankest of dead walls is
only disfgured by posters, provoking

Our genial young friend Gus Hirsch,
who displays marked ability in the
newspaper reporting line, very nearly
escaped being cut last week. The
editor of the Sentinel threatened to
cat his acquaintance. We are happy
to inform our readers that Gus still
lives, although the terrible threat was
almost enough to kill common NOR

Tuesday afternoon visible change
in the atmosphere took place, and
since that time we have experienced
weather that is quite wintry. A good
lire is an almost indispensable COM
fort, and thick clothing necessity.
The sugar planters rejoice at the
change, as the cane will now ripen
very fast, and the yield of sugar
iperease greatly in consequence.

An Gttache of the railroad informs
us that there is no foundation for the
rumor that the company intends to
place two daily passenger trains on
the road between here and New
Orleans within any definite space of
time. There is no doubt that it will
be done eventually, but not for several
months yet, perhaps.

The idea occurs to us that man
might find lucrative business in
travelling up and down the railroad
and picking up the hats that blow
from the heads of passengers on the
trains. From all accounts, we are of
the opinion that there have been
enough hats scattered along the road
since it has been opened to fill small
sized hat store. We lost one ourself
while coming from New Orleans on
last Tuesdays train, and would have
been compelled to walk bareheaded
from the depot to our Office, If con-
ductor Bayley, with his usual regard
for the comfort and convenience of
others, had not kindly loaned us a
covering for our unkempt locks.
