Lamps.
Seventeen houses out of twenty are furnished
with chandeliers, the other three using side
brackets. Either way, one can have beautiful
articles III o&idized silver aud old. gold Persian
devices worned 10 the last extremity of fine

room, and can be mads to give light equal to
other burners. Shades arc of cut glass, pro-
ducirs a delightful sparkle for u parlor, or for
a library of soft pink or green glass blown IN
waves, OF increasing and diminishing color.
VI these last there was only one-a
sample-as yet in America. For nails

made very handsome and in very graceful
shapes, at from $25 to $500. The Pompeian

New India Goods. y
Among the new goods is u soft India cash

should be aolo to manipulate. at a store
where they make India goods y specially is

adays is Benares and Persian wares. The Be-
mares looks like pure gold. which does not dull
with time, chased in queer designs and formed
into iardinicres, pitchers, cups, bells, etc. It
also is made into gourd- sha ped lamps, which
are used by the muezzIn in calling the people
to prayer at night from the top OF a miuaret.
The Persian ware is like enameled silver and
gold, and comes in q large variety of articles,
all beautiful and remarkably cheap. Theu
there ara sets of sword, shield and helmet,
such as LoheDgrin appears in, all wrought in
this same stuff, and with as MANY figures as
had Achilles shield. A number of pieces 0
