The CHEAPEST FASHION MAGAZINE
Among the meritorious publications
devoted to the subject of Fashion, we
would invite the attention of our lady
readers to one, which we think possesses
in large degree the essentiaanls of per-
feet work-viz., common sense and taste.
We refere to "EHRICHs' FASHION QPAT-
TERLY." the Spring number OF which
has just reached us.
1t will DO found instructive, useful,
beautiful, valuable. The very low sub
scription price at which it is issued will
surprise our lady readers when they ex-
anime its contents. The leading idea OF
the work, the presentation of a reference
book and illustrated catalogue of the
contents Of this great establishment, is
handsomely conveyed; and the fund of
information, instruction, and thought
thereto added will make it welcome in
all homes where taste and refinement
dwell. The beauty of its illustrations,
the topics so ably presented by its able
lady contributors, its practical common
sense suggestions, above all, the value
of its price-list, make it the best inv est
ment we have seen in its line. No house,
hold should be without it.
To Fortunes favored ones it offers
manifold attractions in its choice and
rare styles pertaining to the wardrobe
and personal adornment. To those in
moderate circumstances opportunity is
given for q. display of the same refine.

TIM GAMBLERS
Are having u bad time Of 1t In New
York. The law against pool selling
Is being rigidly enforced, and Sena'
tor MOrrissey, Mr.. Tilden's friend,
has moved his establishment to Jer
sey City, just across the river, aud
the others have followed suit. All
the pool houses have gone there,
much to the delight of the ferries
for that part of the gambling fra
ternity whose husines is betting on
horses and base ball, 80 over every
night. And, as the Jerseyites arr
attempting to put their law in force
the pool. sellers have fitted up barg
cs, which they anchor out in thu
stream, beyond the jurisdiction OF
both States; and therein they not
only sell pools, but they indulge II
faro and similar pursuits. The law
seems powerless to prevent lneI
from making fools OF themselves
when they get their heads set II
that direction.
THE END OF TILDENIsM.
Tilden has announced that III
will not contest the claim Of Prcsi.
dent Hayes to his Office, "becaust
it would be likely to drench thu
country in gore.' The fact is, the
old man has had the best lawyers
of the country at work ever since
the decision against him, to ascer
tain if there was not some hole
through which he might crawl into
the Presidency. Last week they
announced to him that Hayes claim
was impregnable, and that he might
as we'll throw up the sponge. And
he does it tearfully, but, Tilden' like
tries to make some capital in the
doing of it. II it cost the lives o
fifty thousand men to get the Pres
idency, Tilden would have sacritic
ed them without a wink. The cOun
try is to be congratulated that thu
law puts the position in the hands
of the right man. T;lden's cxpens
es for something over II year and
half have averaged over $4,000 ;
day. He has bled freely, and the
host of impecunious politicians arr
sorry that he has finally abandon
ed the contest. AS enormous as is
the amount he has spent, the ole
man has plenty left. Railrao;
wrecking has been a profitable bus
mess to him.
THE WEATHER
Is very cold and disagreeable ; and
following so closely upon the ex
IRENE heat of last week, has made
great deal of sickness.

of being all American citizen. These
titles may please the recipient and
his friends, but really in this coun'
try amount to nothing. The Fair
