| TAX ON DRUGGISTS PREPARATIONS. -
Tue Com missioner of Internal Revenue
has. for some time, been engaged in the
preparation of a set of instructions to
his officers regarding the stamp ta1 on
druggists preparations. Already the
druggists and perfumers who have heard
purts Of the intentions of the Commits
sioner have begun to complain. The
new regulations, it is stated, generally
arc considered about as rigid I'd the
laws permit.
PoRrRAIr OF Rev. DR. PLUMER We
had the pleasure, yesterday, of examin-
ing, in Mr.. Bryaus bookstore, q portrait
OF this venerable divine, from the pencil
Of MIR. Albert Query. It is triumph
for the artist, being in attitude, color,
expression and surroundings. AS artistic
aud finished as it is life-like aud truth
full The head, which has been carried
erect more than three-scorc and ten
years. is still stately, the features firm
aud expressive, the form unbent and
majestic. Only the hair, which is sill
vered with white, and the snowy beard,
which flows in waves down the breast,
show the patriarch, far advanced in the
journey Of life. The likeness is superb,
and altogether the effect of the picture
is striking and eminently pleasing.
| OrR Book TABLE.-We have been
furnished by Mr.. w. J. Duflie with
copy OF new novel, by Frank Lee
Benedict. entitled "Miss Drothy's
Charge" The story is one in which the
characters are types Of the Americsn

The style is easy and unaffected. and

price OF the book is 81.
