The Volunteer, 81 College Place,
New York. an illustrated monthly maya
zine Of "a pages, with cover in the three
emblematic colors-red, white and blue
Is before us. Tho wonder Is how the
publishers can get up so large book with
SO many illustrations and choice original
reading matter at the low price of one
dollar year or ten cents each.
The magazine contains well written
article entitled Jefferson Davis Review
ed" by Major A. r. Calhoun, in which
some Of the fal,acles OF Mr.. Davis in his
apology for Andersonville are cleverly
shown. "The Coast Survey" by Prof.
Ellsworth, Of Rutgers College, gises a
comprehensive idea Of that great work, in-
teresting alike to old and young. "Olus-
tee is the title OF a war story with scenes
and incidents taken from private life In
connection with the battle from which the
story takes Its name.
There are other stories Of absorbing In
terest, all of which fully sustain the pub
fishers In their claim that The Voluntee,
Magazine gives more original reading fol
the price than any other publication In
America.

hustler.
The Philsdelphia Press says the Doctor
is great batter.
Hurley viii be with the boys this sea
son. We are glad TO hear it.
Wolyerton looks as solid as stone wall
and he says he will bat stronger than ever.
Doylestown and Lambertvllle managers
viii, We think, arrange for series Of
games.
Is Remington going to have club this
seasonf Let us hear from you Secretary
Abbott
"HerIc" is still doing good work for The
team. He is still asking everyone sWon't

Trusty is going to take weeks vaca-
ton. He aud bis family viii visit his
fathers, 10 PhIladelphia.
Thorne Is picking up fast and will soon
look as Of old. Scott says he is going to
use the stick this year to keep the fielders
busy.
Our friend I. Tho.ne, an ex player, has
not much to say about base ball, just
now. His time is greatly taken up. We
will hear from him 10 short time.
We are sorry to hear that centre fielder
Kuowlan will not be able to play In all
the games this season. John is a good
one. He will go to Easton with the boys.
We are glad TO hear that Jewell is CO.
ing on the diamond once more. When
the Doctor is In practice he is certainly a
heavy hitter and viii get there If be starts.
Last season the team stood In batting as
follows: Callan, Trusiy, Wolverton, S.
Thornc, Edinger, Schenck, Knowlan, Hur-
ley, Upiandcr, T. Thorne, Coiiigan, VIII
mot.
Schenck gained in flesh during the
Winter and looks as II he could play 10
his old form again. lie is the only player
In this city who ever made three (S) home
runs 10 one game.
II you want 10 talk base ball do not
stop In front OF store door or In store
where you may hurt mans business.
Get out In the street and talk all you want
to and then there will be 10 trouble.
We think our boys will have one Of the
finest diamonds Ia the State when finished.
We hope tue Doylestown manager win
see that their diamond Is well rolled, as
our boys say 1t was very rough last season.
In conversation with Capt. Callan, he
says that the boys are In better trim this
season than any other. aud that they are
all In good working order. We think so
ourselves. The mild Winter and the work
they performed has increased their mus
cular power aud activencss.
1t is hoped that the people of this city
aud vicinity, who are lovers OF base ball,
will commenceto lay up their loose change,
to be used as contribution to the club.
You all know that their expenses are
heavy. Our boys get nothing fer wis;
they do and II you contribute literally, 1t
will encourage them to play ball.
Manager Clossea has arranged game
with the Easton Middle State League for
April Goth, at Easton. Our club gets a
guarantee. The following dates are also
filled: Shibe, Of Philadelphia, May %;
Adams, of Philadelphia, May 30; Smyrna,

A remarkable telegram broke up the
entire establishment in big Broadway
store recently. The head OF the firm re-.
ceived dispatch conveying this informa-
ton: "a mosquito Ill to-day. Can't
come down." He called In the other part
ners and the chief clerks for consulta-
ton. They had no cipher that fitted the
telegram, but after while light dawned
upon one OF the party. A bright young
man in the store rejoices In the name OF
Amos, and, being under the weather, his
mother wrote this telegram, Amos quite
Ill to-day. Can't come down" Business
was suspended for an hour while the es-
tablishment was recovering Its equilibrium.

AN exchange says that the vendue
season is nearly at a close. Prices have
generally been good, considering the pres
ent dull outlook for farming. Farming
has been safe, honest, honorable and in
dependent business since the creation Of
man, and let no false prophet make tillers
of the soil believe that they are to all sink
In wrcichedness and hopeless ruin.

In February we made q preliminary
announcement of some of the choice dress
stuffs which had arrived up to that time,
and no announcement ever made by us
met with moro general response. Since
then almost every foreign steamer has
brought us large invoices of the latest
Partisan novelties as well as great lines Of
English and German dress goods, which
makers of late seem to rival even the
French, especially 10 many lines of goods
now much sought after.
The stock of the Spring season may
now be said to complete, particularly
EGclusige Novelties, Righ ART Fabrics,
Superb Robes, Choice Imported Dress
Patterns, aud exquisitely fine Plain STUFF.
Large numbers of these choice crea-
tons make their first appearance 10
America on our counters. Many of them
will not be found on other counters all
the season, and the aggregate make up a
collection which 1t is safe to say will not
be even approached in Philadelphia, nor
equalled by any single house either in
Europe or America the present season.
We are well aware of the broadness of
this claim, and we make 1t not alone on
our own judgment, but on the concurrent
testimony of we'll informed and disiuter-
ested authorities, as referring to our past
exhibits, compared with those of other
leading houses abroad and at home. All
that we have done in the past, however,
is even largely exceeded by the present
seasons achievements, and we now point
with pride to the greatest industrial ex-
hibit in the line of dress goods ever made.
A few leading stuffs are named below,
but 1t 10 manifest that only small por-
ton of such a collection can be named 10

There are
Silk Embroidered Robes,
Fine French Dress Patterns,
Fancy Bourette Plaids,
All-Wool Check Casimirs,
Bordered Woollen Corkscrews,
Fancy English Mohairs,
Silk and Wool Gloriosa,
Plain and Fancy Challies,
Lace Bordered Sidebands,
Fine Wool Clan Plaids,
Striped Silk Grenadines,
Wool Dotted Nets,
Satin Striped Mexicana,
Silk and Wool Persian Brocades
Plain and Figured Wool Hermann
AND
