Its reading-matter is of a high order of literary merit—varied, instructive, entertaining, and unexceptionable.—N. Y. Sun. Harper's Bazar.

Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co., FOR SAVING VALUABLE PAPERS SHIPMAN'S PATENT ADHESIVE Letter and Invoice File. We would respectfully call the attention of Business Men, Bankers and others, to our Patent Adhesive Letter and Invoice File. We claim that it is the best article in use for the preservation of all kinds of printed or written documents, such as Letters, Invoices, Bills, &c., &c. They are in use by most of the Business Firms and Companies in the United States. Its form is that of a scrap book, of various sizes, having narrow leaves with adhesive surface, which requires only to be moistened and the document applied; thus it becomes a book of 250 or 500 letters, arranged in the order of dates, secure from loss or misplacement, and as convenient for reference as a ledger account—and this with the least expense of time. Every lover of order or economist of time must appreciate its importance. We also keep constantly on hand, in great variety, Invoice and Scrap Books, Letter Copying Books, Blank Books and a full assortment of Stationery. ASA L. SHIPMAN & SONS, 25 Chambers Street, New York.

The above route is superior to all others, as there is less time consumed on the road, more rest, and the whole route gives finer scenery than by any other, from the fact that after you strike the foot hills, you pass along the dividing ridge between the Tuolumne and Merced rivers, to the East, the Sierra Nevada, with Castle Peak, Mount Dames, and other prominent points, to the West, is the San Joaquin, and the Coast Range; also less dust than any other route, as the route is East and West, and the north winds that are almost constantly blowing, carry the dust from you. And as a round trip is always desirable; parties can go by Coulterville, and out via Big Trees and Mariposa, or vice versa. By the first of June, there will be but 2½ miles horseback riding into the valley. The nights at Bower Cave are cool and refreshing, unsurpassed on the whole route.

It comprises the Mammoth and the South Park groves. The Mammoth grove contains ninety-three of these Giants of the Forest, MOTHER OF THE FOREST, the bark from which was exhibited in the Crystal Palace, London; the FATHER OF THE FOREST, through whose prostrate trunk thousands have ridden on horseback; and the ORIGINAL BIG TREE, the stump of which forms the floor of the famous Pavilion, thirty-two feet in diameter. The South Park grove, six miles distant, has thirteen hundred and eighty of these trees, many of them of immense size. One, still standing and growing, has the inner portion at the base burned out, making a room large enough to contain sixteen men on horseback at the same time; and yet, enough of the outer rim of the tree is left to support the colossal proportions above. The Calaveras Group surpasses all others in the grandeur and beauty of its trees, and is the only one having hotel accommodations. Tourists leaving Stockton will take the cars of the Copperopolis railroad at 9 o'clock, A.M., to Milton, twenty-eight miles, connecting with a daily line of Concord coaches via Winthrop's, for the Big Trees, making the entire distance in ten hours. At Murphy's, stages leave daily for Yosemite Valley per Hutching's new route, being the shortest and best to Yosemite Valley. A daily line of coaches leave Galt for the Big Trees. At Melton, and Murphy's, private conveyances can be obtained for the Big Trees and Yosemite Valley, at low rates. THOMAS HOUSEWORTH, Agent, NEW HOTEL. GILROY.

The latter course might be preferable to the majority of tourists, who would desire to visit en route the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees, which is but five miles from Clark's. The trail from Clark's leads through Alder Creek, Empire Camp, Sentinel Dome, Glacier Point, and the far-famed "Inspiration Point." From the latter is obtained the first grand view of this wonderful Valley, lying four thousand feet below the "Point." LAKE TAHOE, DONNER LAKE, CALAVERAS BIG TREES, THROUGH TICKETS:
