With the New Stoky, by the Great French Writer, ' 
VICTOR HUGO, entitled 
THE MAfeS WHO LAUGHS; 
OR, 
“By the King’s Command.” 
For which the French Publishers paid the 
distinguished Author 300,000 Francs. 
This Work has been in the author’s workshop for twenty 
years, the idea of it having arisen in his miiul contempo¬ 
raneously with that of “ Les Miserables." M. Hugo here 
tries his powers in a new field, that of English history and 
English character, of which he lias been a student and ob¬ 
server during his Guernsey exile. 
The Department of Literature will embrace Fiction, in the 
form of both serial novels and short stories; Essays upon 
literary and social topics; Sketches of travel and adventure; 
Discussions upon art. hooks,and kindred themes; Papers 
upon all the various subjects that pertain to the pursuits and 
recreations of the people, whether of town or- country, and 
poems by our foremost poets.

cartoons, consisting of views of American scenery by our 
most distinguished painters, and illustrations of character 
and life, by our foremost draftsmen. They will he printed 
with extra care, on separate sheets, and may he either bound

ELGIN WATCHES ! ! 
CAUTION—The public are respectfully cautioned against 
purchasing our watches, or watches purporting to be of 
our make, of parties who advertise to send them “ C. O. D. ’ 
We have no connection witli such houses, and do not furnish 
our goods to any house for that purpose. The excellence 
and good repute of the real Elgin Watches have caused 
several Foreign and American Watch Companies to make 
inferior imitations, with the same or similar trademarks 
as ours. Avoid all parties who advertise to send our 
goods “ C. O. D.,” no matter whom. To get the real Elgin 
Watches purchase only of dealers in your vicinity or else¬ 
where whom you know to be honorable.

Carbolic and Cresylic Soaps and 
Saponaceous Compounds, 
Patented. 
We ask attention to the following testimony. 
Office Brooklyn City I!. R. Co., Nov. 12,1808. 
I take great pleasure in recommending the Carbolic Dis¬ 
infecting Soaps manufactured by Jas. Buchan & Co., for the 
cure of all external diseases to which horses are subject. I 
tried the “ Ointment ” on a horse with a severe fistula in his 
shoulder, as a first test, and with entire success. Ami I can¬ 
not speak in sufficiently strong terms of their healing quali¬ 
ties in all eases of galls, scratches, bruises, swellings, &c. I 
am using tlie Soaps in all of our stables. No person owning 
a horse should he without these Soaps, for in my long expe¬ 
rience with horses I have never found anvthing to compare 
with them. HENRY PALMER.
