It will give us great pleasure to forward a copy of our catalogue to any 
one who "goes a-fishing." Some -people charge for their catalogues, some 
charge for the postage, some charge for both. We are more than willing to 
give away our catalogues and prepay postage on them. No angler, after 
looking at the catalogue, can resist buying from us or from our trade- 
customers all the fishing-tackle he can afford to pay for. That is where we 
get back a good deal more than cost of catalogue and postage.

THE NEW IDEAL EIPLE. 
That Soap Story 
told in our issue of Oct. 6, as an extract from Dr. Peirce's "A Man 
from Corpus Christi," was only one of the funny episodes told of in 
the book. There are scores of laughs and hundreds of chuckles 
between the covers. We would not dare to go into camp with that 
man who could read the chapters and not chuckle over the scrapes 
and escapes of the original citizen of Corpus.

NEW EDITION. 
Lancaster's Famous Book, 
THE ART OF SHOOTING. 
By CHARLES LANCASTER. 
AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 
At the special request of many gentlemen who have placed themselves in my hands f or 
instruction in the Art of Shooting, 1 have written this treatise. I have endeavored to meet 
the special requirements of those who are anxious to become proficient in the art, and who 
have hitherto been unable to obtain, in a precise form, the information necessary for study- 
ing the first principles of shooting at moving objects. 
I have had the honor of coaching many gentlemen, and have carefully studied the 
points especially requiring attention that have cropped up from time to time while giviug 
instruction. I hope that those who favor me by studying this treatise may qtxickly gain 
the knowledge so essential for the making of an average if not brilliant shot. 
I have purposely refrained from touching on the several merits of any class of gun — 
being a gun-maker myself; and, indeed, so many good works on the subject have been 
written, that it is really unnecessary. 
1 trust that authors from whose writings I have made extracts will pardon me when 
they recollect that I have at heart one object, viz., the advancement of a manly sport 
which gives pleasure, health and occupation to many, and to the patronage of whose fol- 
lowers I am indebted for many pleasant days.

these arms for many years. To his great knowledge of them he adds a pleasant and clear 
style in writing, which adds to the value of his books. Every American who uses a gun ough t 
to read these books. Sent postpaid on receipt of price.
