Christmas Week among the American
Slaves!

Ready Tuesday, December 10th. Beadle's Christmas Story.

Maum Guinea,

And Her Plantation "Children ;"

OR, CHRISTMAS WEEK AMONG THE AMERICAN SLAVES.
By MRS. METTA V. VICTOR,

Author of " Alice Wilde."

LOUISIANA PLANTATION LIFE DURING THE HOLIDAYS IS

seized upon by the author to weave around the barbacues, night-dancing, story-telling and love-making of the Slaves a romance embodying all the tragedy and pathos, the sorrow and enjoyment, the happiness and humor of Slave Life and its two-fold experiences. The negro and white characters introduced are all "representative"—each illustrative of some peculiar phase of a strange history.

220 pages complete, beautifully illustrated. Price Twenty Cents. For sale by all News Dealers, Booksellers, and Army Sutlers, &c. Sent post-paid on receipt of price.

TO CONSUMPTIVES.—The advertiser, having been restored to health in a few weeks by a very simple remedy, after having suffered several years with a severe LUNG AFFECTION, and that dread disease, CONSUMPTION, is anxious to make known to his fellow-sufferers the means of cure. To all who desire it, he will send a copy of the prescription used (free of charge), with directions for preparing and using the same, which they will find a SURE CURE for CONSUMPTION, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, &c. The only object of the advertiser in sending the prescription is to benefit the afflicted, and he hopes every sufferer may try his remedy, as it will cost them nothing, and may prove a blessing. Parties wishing the prescription will please address
