Every person who has visited ths
Columbian Exposition at Chicago is de
srous, no doubt, Of securing books that
give a history and description of the greal
Fair, together with fine illustrations
Until recently it has been impossible to
secure such a work that comes anywhere
near doing Justice to the subject.
The great historian. Hubert Howe
Bancroft, undertook the task of describing
the Fair, and he has done so in his usual
charming and exhaustive manner
Besides dealing with the Chicago Fair
sketches of all the worlds expositions
ever held are given, together with fine
engravings, making the work doubly
valuable.
To any one who desires to preserve a
memento of the Great Exposition now IN
progress, and visited by millions of oul
citizens, we know Of no souvenir more
complete and beautiful The world will
probably never see an exposition pos
sessed of 80 many merits and beauties,
and those who desire to preserve them in
an enduring from will do well to purchase
this periodical All that is best and
most attractive is here set forth and
described, the scenes of fairy-like splen-
dor are reproduced, and those who have
visited and desire to preserve memento
as well as those who by adverse circum-
stances have been prevented from view
ing this great ninteenth century wonder,
will gaze with admiration on its pages.
The work Is one entitled to the highest
commentator. We stand as 1t were in
fairy land and that the beautiful scenes
depicted have a reality and existence
seem something marvellous. Cores
pondents from all quarters Of the globe
have We'd with each other in their de-
scriptions. Here II is in an enduring
form. We advise all lovers Of the beauti

peare of modern times, but he is certainly
a most popular writer and the most pros
porous the American stage has known.
Every play that he has written has been
splendid popular success and has made
great deal of money for himself and
other managers, and has always been q
source of delight to those of the theatre
going public who enjoy that class o.
plays that were written for laughing pur'
poses only. Mr. Hoyt's later plays, "The
Midnight Bell" and"A Temperance Town.

Perhaps some of our readers would like
to know in what respect Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is better than any other.
We will tell you. When this remedy is
taken as soon as cold has been contract
ed, and before it has become settled in
the system, it will counterfeit the effect Of
the cold and greatly lessen it's severity,
and 1t is the only remedy that will dc
this. 1t acts in perfect harmony with ma
ture and aids nature in relieving the lungs
opening the secretions, liquefying the
mucus and causing its expulsion from the
air cells of the lungs and restoring the
system to a strong and healthy condition.
No other remedy IN the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No other
will cure a cold so quickly. For sale by
