SurroS's LEi.uRE-lloUR MISCELLANY. of
which we have before taken occasion to speak
with appreciation. has now reached its elcv-
enth and twelfth numbers. of the forty form
ing the series and we feel shat we are per-
forming nothing more than duty In again
calling public attention to the excellence of n
publication eMbodying AS much of novelty as
Of merit. To find so much thoroughly excel
lent matter, so uneXccptonably printed.
and so handsomely illustrated, at the very low
price of % cents per number-is something
tor which the body Of readers have cause to
be grateful; and Judging from what we un-
der,tand of the increase Of circulation, We
have no doubt that they are so. The Miscel-
lany, as we may before have remarked. does
not pretend to be entirely original In its con.
tents and makeup, but to blend the very best
of original matter, In every number. with the
cream of foreign periodicals, adapted to
American needs and tastes. whenever any re-
vision is necessary; and beyond a question.
in many regards, "A publication thus allowed
to have the skimming and picking Of two
continents. holds an advantage over those pe-
riodcals Of which the principal boast is that
what they publish has never before been put
In type. Not. las already said.that the Misecl-
lany yields to any other In the quality of It's
original matter, as II certainly docs not In
pictures, typography or material. For the
past five numbers. now. we have noticed the
running of All original story In II. called.
Safe Unsafe or The Man From California"
written especially for it by a well-known
American writer. which strikes as being full
OF droll Misunderstanding. as well as incl
dent and mrrrimcnt. and quite equal to any
other novel now in course Of publication.
That those who pick up the al, cnturcs Of
Fred. Gwiler, the mi.chievous, and the equal

otherwise than follow them to the end We are
safe In assuming. Plenty ofothcr and short.
