Novelties in Holiday Goods.

AS the holiday season approaches, the interest

some of our business houses are already stocked
with goods purchased especially for this trade.
None are moro thoroughly prepared than the

ing already, and yet MIR. Dickinson tells us
that still there's more to follow The amount
OF stock they are receiving would surprise one
not familiar with their trade, and it is nothing
unusual for them to receive shipments by the
carload direct from the importers careful
inspection of their immense stock will soon
convince you that the above is a fact
In the toy department, the assortment is
simply immense. Every conceivable article in
the toy line can be found here, from the very
cheapest to the most elaborate and expensive.
In vases, fancy toilet articles, maiolica ware
and velvet picture frames they carry stock in
quantity and quality the largest in the city.
Nor do they conhne themselves to this line Of
goods alone. In ladies' and gents underwear,
gloves, mittens, hats, caps, trunks, satchels, in
TACT anything variety store ever kept or
thought of keeping. can be found here in great
assortment. In the wholesale department, the

That 5000 Reward.

One would have supposed that the Sattler
suicide ended with the interment and inquest
No, a new trouble has originated in the ques-
ton of who is entitled to the reward for finding
the body? 1t has been pretty definitely settled
that Loiseau. Sherman. st. John and Ebert are
the successful four. Two hundred dollars is
the amount offered, and the Sattler
brothers and the society are prepared
to pay, just as soon as it is
settled to whom they must or ought to pay the
sum. The difficulty arises among the four
finders; they have gotten up a brisk and even
acrimonious discussion as to who is entitled to
the greater portion of the reward Loiseau
claims that he is entitled to the most, because
he rowed the boat and showed the body in
shore; the others not willing to accord so
much to him. They believe in equal shares.
No agreement between the parties seems likely
to be reached, and the spirited discussion,
all parties threaten to fritter the 5000 away in
a. lawsuit

The Saturday Evening Treat.

1t would seem that the musical critics had
lost their art-or their hearts-the very mo-
ment Marie Roze came before the footlights,
for everywhere she has appeared the press has
done nothing but run frantic in praise of her
personal charms and the enchantment of her
voice. One of the most severely critical and
exacting of New York critics says of her:
1.-The most beautiful of prime dome, Mile.
Marie Roze, made successful debut in this
city at Booths theatre. Mile. Roze was the
centre of attraction; she alone bore the burden
of the night. No sooner did she appear than
her beauty and grace won for her the sympathy
of all present, and before she had sung dozen
bars her unaffected manner, sympathetic voice
and conscientious vocalism bespoke tn success
which her subsequent efforts secured. Her
voice is sweet and pure, of the rich timbre that
appeals to the feelings, and the tones are
deliciously hute-like and satisfying. She
resorts to tricks of vocalism affects no
melo-dramatic attitude, never exaggerates her
dramatic force to gain applause. Her senti-
ment. rising into strong passion, and her
tenderness bearing her down to despair, are
expressed with concentrated feeling, not with
exhaustive energy. Her triumph was com
plete The applause lasted long, flowers in
wondrous designs were heaped upon her, and a
repetition was demanded"
