General Topics. 
—Everything is dull this month iu the 
form of hiH-ology. We could hardly sup- 
ply matter enough to ^^fill out," but do not 
fail to get 7iext mouth's paper, 
— Will the person who recently sent us 
the Eaven's(?) egg please have the kind- 
ness, next time, to be sure and rub off the 
number 426 if he should chance to send an- 
otlier? We don't like to see two numbers 
on one egg, that's all. 
— Next month we shall begin a new and 
exceedingly interesting piece, entitled, the 
Reminiscences of a Collector." It is 
written by a practical youth, and is just 
what every collector should peruse.
