"Bessy Rane," "Roland Yorke," "The
Channings," and all the previous works
by this favorite and popular author.
"Dene Hollow" while containing the
characteristic features ofits author'ss sstyle,
may be considered equal il not superior
to anything previously written by Mrs.
Wood. This lady has a marvellous fac
ulty of charming her readers, with the
skill with which she puts her characters
on the stage, of multiplying her plots, of
sustaining her dialogues, and OF lntensi"
fying all her minor incidents; and as the
work itself presents all those character
istics of the author which have establish
ed her reputation among the first writers,
there is but little doubt of it's success
with our novel-loving community. The
story is one of absorbing interest-inter-
est that would be objectionable to an.

This factory is now one of the largest
in the world it is magnificent five sto-
ry structure, fronting an entire block on
Eutaw ST., and covering, together with
the Lumber Yards attached, some two
and one half acres of ground. Three
hundred and fifty men are constantly
employed turning out over forty instru-
ments per week.
Among the thousand and one Pianos
offered to the public, we scarcely know
any instrument so fully uniting all the
desirable qualities sought for as the
Knabc Piano. 1t is a matter Of some
difficulty and perpleXity to inexperienc-
ed persons to select a good instrument OF
any capacity. We too often rely upon
the Judgment of friends in the selection
of piano, and are thus frequently dis
appointed. The only sure way, in our
opinion is to go to the best maker. For
this reason, we recommend to our read
ers to purchase Pianos Of VIM. Knabe &
Co.'S manufacture. This will relieve
them the vexatious necessity of wasting
time in long search. The reputation OF
tho Knabe Pianos is an intallible guar
anty of excellence. For durability we
would specially recommend them, as be-
ing made in Southern City, with spe-
cial view to the trying changes of South
