STEWART AS AN ADvERr1SER.-One of
Mr. Stewards last business acts was per-
sonal supervision of an advertisement for
the newspapers. He never found he WAS
doing As much business as he cared to
do" and never committed the folly OF
throwing away money on "circulars" and
cheap job work, reaching few hundreds
OF persons who never read them. He
believed in newspaper advertising and
readers by the thousand; and, strangely
enough, never reached the point of imag-
lining himself and his great establish
ment so we'll known that advertising was
unnecessary. Perhaps he was mistaken.
but it was eloug mistake. and he new
er abandoned it. If he was right. many
lesser merchants are wrong in neglecting
To reach the people and invite trade in
the only ways the great merchant approved
or found OF value. He left to qHackery
the multifOrm nuisances that annoy the
public and make business announcements
offensive Hi, advertisements was always
worth reading, it was always read and he
followed the system because he found 1t
profitable. In these days of demoralized
vews and mistaken modes of reaching the
public, the great merchants testimony aud
| life practice should be valuable 10 their
suggestions to the mercantile commun-
| ity.-Brooklyn Union.

THE DRUM AND FIFE. A Centennial
fife and drum corps, numbering fifty mem-
bers, Is now IN course of organization in
Philadelphia. The uniform adopted is the
same as tina; used by the Centinentals OF
l776, and the drummers propose to per-
form the same beats that sounded through
the Revolution. The standards used will
be the old Continental flag and the stars
and stripes. This is probably the largest
drum and fife corps ever organized in

HISTORY OF TKE CITY OF NEW YoRK,- By Mrs. Martha J. Lamb, which has long been anticipated with much interest, i> shortly to be issued by A. s. Barnes & Co.,, publishers, l3 William street, New York. The preparation of the work has occupied period of over ten years, and its scope Is such that it is destined to fill an important place in the literature of the nineteenth century. It opens with a brief outline of the condition of the old world prior to the settlement of the new, and proceeds to give careful analysls of the two great Dutch commercial corporations which made such noise all over christendom about that time, and to which New York owes its or igin. It sketches the rise and growth of the little colony on Manhattan island; de scribes the Indian wars whA which it was afflicted; the transformation of the little dorp into city gives color and lite to it's Dutch rulers; paints its subjugation by the English, its after vicissitudes. the revolu, ton of 1889 with its causes and effects, po- litlcal disturbances; in short, it leads the reader through one continuous chain of events down to the American Revolution, and the part sustained in it by New York. Then, gathering up the threads, the author gives an artistic and comprehensive account of the progress of the city in extent, educa- tion, culture, literature, art, and political and commercial importance, during the last century. It will contain maps of the city in the different decades, and several rare portraits from original paintings, which have never before been engraved. The H. lustrations are all of an interesting charac
 ter. The work will appear in about twenty
 four parts, of sixty four pages each. Il
 will contain about 250 illustrations, and fol each part full page tinted engraving
 drawn expressly for the work by the bes New York artists.
 It will be sold only by subscription, ant
 will appeal to all classes of readers, having
 certain, sure and inestimable value tt
 every private and public library, and tt l anyone who cares to know about the grea
 metropolis of the new world.

A CENTENNIAL HIsToRY.-The Cent mi al History of the United States, new work by James D. McCabe, and published by the National Publishing Co. of Pnls- delphia,is probably the best book for agents to sell during this centennial year. It con- tains 925 pages and 442 historical engra- wings; and the history of cur country from the discovery of the American continent to the opening of the centennial year of 1876, is here given in manner which, though necessarily somewhat abridged, will com mand sale at sight. The typography of the book is excellent, the print being large and distinct and will not weary the eyes of the aged. who will find great pleasure in refreshing their memory of the scenes and incidents which occurred during the early years of our countrys existence. The book is especially valuable for reference; all matters of any prominence in the nation history, with the date of their occurrence, and all necessary information concerning them, are easily and quickly found, so sys- tematica!ly arranged is every feature of the work. As we said above the book is pub. lished by the National Publishing Go. of Philadelphia, and is sold only through agents by subscription. Agents are want ell everywhere,
