its engravings. In addition TO a beau

trating tale by Frank Lee Benedict, it
has a charming little love-story, by
Ella Rodman Church, with numerous
engrsvings. There is also very able
article, on the late George Eliot, the
novelist, with illustrations. That pow

monds,' by Mrs. Jane G. Austin, is
completed in this number; and will be
followed, we see, in the next, by Held
for Ransom by Sidney Trevor, said to
be even more thrilling. There are two
colered patterns; a colored steel fash

other illustrations. Uaaquestiona6Iy this
is the best and cheapest Of the lady'E

Almanacs Wanted.

AImanacs Wanted.
The medical fraternity, or rather the
quack EosLrum dealers, or to be more
polite the patent medicine men, are re-
ouested to send down a few tons Of their
almanacs, as the demand just now far
exceeds the supply. The colored chill
dren go for them with an avidity truly
astonishing. What they want with
them we can't understand. It's lively
to be about the Drng Stores as the pic
caninnies come by from school, to see
them 60 for Almanacs, bat the Drug
gists don't appreciate it as fully as they
might; and when they are waited on
by score of little darkeys and asked
for an Almanac, they show signs of i'm
patience. We were in at Fants one
afternoon last week, when squad Of
colored urchins came in with the usual
request -"take 'em, take 'em ALL" said
the Doctor, who tired of doing retail
business concluded to close out at one
venture. They did not wait for a Sec
ond invitation and in a twinkling the
Doctors counter was bare, and be
fetched sigh of relief as he said, dog
on-'em, that lc,,i is off my mind"
