Tas Myrtle Navy tobacco is aot burdened with the usual costs which swell the price of most articles to the consumer; the firm employ po travellers whatever, their orders come to them instead of being sought by them. The merchant does not require to keep alarge stock on hand swelling its price with interest, for the factory is an immediate source of supply to him,at the cost of a postal card, or at most a telegram. He Ioses |} nothing, therefore, from being overstocked. The article is a staple one, for which there is as constant a demand as for wheat or flour, and the merchant can therefore, sell it at a ninimum rate of profit

A LARGE audience grested the Guy Family in the Market Hall last evening. The play was the ever-popalar ‘‘ Uncle Tom's Cabin, and was exceedingly well performed. The Topsy” of Mr. G. R. Guy was, beyond doubt, the best representation of th at charac- ter ever given in this city, and, aided by ‘*Marks” and ‘Phineas Leach,” both of which were also capitally impersonated, kept the audience in excellent humor throughout the evening. The ‘“‘Uncle Tom” of Mr, Guy, senior, was a good representation, while “ Gumption Cate,” ** Deacon Perry,” and the remainder of the cast were well up in their respective roles.

excellently placed in the central arcads, where, including annexes, transepts, cor- ridors, 34,890 feet were provided. HExten- sions then run into the west gallery, with 20,280 feet of space, and the west arcade with 2,080 feet, which, with additions in the east and west quadrant, the o nserva- tory and gardens, Albert Hall, and the new building adjoining, make in alli just over 73,830 feet of gross space = First ‘to claim attention, are the decorations, the basis, as it were, of the whole display, and bera one is at once struck by a leading distinction between the courts of Canada and ths other Colonies. The coloring is subdued, and in @ sense unobtrusive, From the eastern cor

ridor, through the transepts and central gallery, to the wastern corridor, a leagth of 600 feet in a strighi line, handsome show-cases of dark Canadian woods line the sides at intervals. The wails are draped with maroon cloth, relieved by ad sap old- gold valancein the bays round tha court, with painted plaques bearing the word Canada,” and the letters “V. R.” while on either side of the upper lights hangs a pale lilac valance. The arches ara picked out with gold-tipped leaves, and at each spring of the arch, 12 feet high and 10 feet apart, appropriate flags on spears are fes- tooned over shields ornamented with maple leaves bearing the names of the Provinces of the Dominion. The effect thnsd stinctly differs from that produced by the magni- ficent tapestries and briiliancy of endless

paints met with in maay other courts, and herein lies an _ indica- cation of the primary objects of the exhibits from the various Colonies. Tha

displays of Canada and of Eastern Colonies and Dopendencies can naturally have bat little in common. }
