Bankers and Dealers in Government Securities, 
No. 5 Nassau-st., New-York, Dec. 10, 1870. 
Funding Five-Twenty Bonds.— Within the past three 
months a very large amount of Five-Twenty Bonds have 
been funded through our office into the First Mortgage 
Bonds of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, be¬ 
sides large sales of the same securities for new invest¬ 
ments. 
We deal in Central Pacific Bonds the same as in Gov¬ 
ernment Securities, and regard them as affording the de¬ 
sired medium for funding Five-Twenty Bonds, without 
reduction of interest and with unimpaired security. 
They are well known , and have a ready market in 
all the money centers of this country and Europe, are daily 
quoted at the Stock Exchange , and can be sold at current 
market price as readily as the Bonds of the Government. 
Earnings from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1, 1870.$7,417,317 
Earnings from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1, 1869 . 5,260,882 
Increase in 1870...$2,156,435 
We keep a supply of these securities on hand, and fur¬ 
nish them at current market price. 
The advantage of exchanging Governments into these 
Bonds is about as follows : 
Proceeds of $1,000 5-20 bond of 1867, at 110.$1,100.00 
Cost of $1,000 Central Pacific bond, at 93. 920.00 
Difference realized. $180.00 
We continue, as heretofore, to buy and sell Govern¬ 
ment Bonds, make Collections, receive Deposits, subject 
to check at sight without notice, and allow interest on 
balances, and do a general Banking business.

Facts for Housekeepers.— Doty has 
made our washing days all sunshine. A little nine-year- 
old lassie took hold of the wash and put it through, much 
to our admiration and astonishment, so simple is its ar¬ 
rangement and successful its execution.— Rev. Joseph M. 
Wilson, Philadelphia , Pa.

The great design of Harper's is to give correct information 
and rational amusement to the great masses ot the people. 
There is no monthly Magazine an intelligent reading family 
can less afford to be without. Many Magazines are accumu¬ 
lated. Harper’s is edited. There is not a Magazine that is 
printed which shows more intelligent pains expended on its 
articles and mechanical execution. There is not a cheaper 
Magazine published. There is not, confessedly, a more 
popular Magazine in the world.—-Veto England Homestead. 
At once the most popular and, in its scheme, the most 
original of our Magazines. * * * All the periodicals which the 
Harpers publish are almost ideally well edited.— Nation. 
The best publication of its class In America, and so far 
ahead of all other weekly journals as not to permit of any 
comparison between it and any of their number. Its columns 
contain the finest collections of reading-matter that are 
E rinted. * * * Its illustrations are numerous and beautiful, 
eing furnished by the chief artists of the country .—Boston 
Traveler. 
Harper's Weekly is the best and most interesting illustra¬ 
ted newspaper. Nor does its value depend on its illustrations 
alone. Its reading matter is of a high order of literary 
merit—varied, instructive, entertaining, and unexceptiona¬ 
ble- N. T. Sun. 
Free from all political and sectarian discussion, devoted 
to fashion, pleasure and instruction, it is just the agreeable, 
companionable and interesting domestic paper, which 
every mother, and wife, and sweetheart will require every 
son, husband and lover to bring home witli him every Satur¬ 
day evening .—Philadelphia Ledger. 
By all means buy Harper's Bazar. Not for yourself, but 
for.your wife, or daughter, or sister, or sweetheart. There 
never was any paper published that so delighted the heart 
of woman. Never mind if it does cost you a new bonnet; 
it will save you teu times the price in tlie household lecono- 
my it teaches .—Providence Journal.
