Aikin, Lambert & Co., a full line of gold pens; Ed. Todd & Co. also displayed gold pens. Messrs. E. I. Horsman, New-York, and Milton Bradley & Co., of Springfield, and Selchow & Co., all had full lines of games. The Morgan Envelope Company, fancy papers and envelopes. John Gladding & Son, of Philadelphia, a great variety of diaries. The Worthy Paper Company, of Mitteneague, had a fine assortment of papers. John D. Emack exhibited all his specialties, and Messrs. P. F. Van Everen made a fine display of book-covers and library numbers. The Claremont Manufacturing Company showed a full line of pocket-books, etc. The stationers generally are satisfied with the result of the Fair. Most of the trade took part in it, and such houses as did not, regret their failure to do so. It is thought that next year stationery will be as fully represented as the book interest. The display of fancy goods at the Fair was an important element of the exhibition. The fancy glass inkstands and paper-weights displayed by Charles D. Pratt and Willy Wallach were greatly admired, and met with a ready sale. a A first-class article always meets with ready sale. This is particularly the case with " Ye Centennial Paper." Mr. Bainbridge states that during the Fair over two dozen orders were taken for it, amounting to nearly $10,000. "Ye Centennial paper" is as well adapted for printing as for writing. A full line of American pocket-books shown at the Fair by Henry Levys & Co. attracted considerable attention. Competent judges expressed the opinion that they were equal in every respect to the best imported goods. This is a new line of industry, and it promises to become important and profitable. Copying pencils promise to become very popular. Rehbach's, imported by Willy Wallach, were the first upon the market, but the Fair has been the means of introducing several of American manufacture, which are said to be equal to the foreign. Large quantities of both the American and foreign pencils were sold. Some of the handsomest goods at the Fair were the photograph albums. The sale of these goods was once confined to the book trade, but now they are considered a portion of every stationer's stock. Some of the larger styles sold well.

LITERARY AND TRADE NEWS. WHAT Sunday-schools need, and where and at what cost these needs can be supplied, is pertinently answered by Messrs. Yohn & Porter, of Indianapolis, in a little pamphlet published by them, giving a " Price-list of Sunday-School Requisites." The list is very carefully and accurately compiled, and is quite full, both in the number of reference-books suggested for the aid of teachers and superintendents, and in the various maps, charts, etc., which now form so important a part in the successful working of the schools. Messrs. Yohn & Porter issue the list for the benefit of their customers, and keep in stock all the articles included in it. To supplement their recently issued "Twelve Months in Madagascar," the Messrs. Carter have published a map of the central provinces of the island, prepared by the Rev. Jos. Mullens. The map is most carefully and admirably drawn on a large scale, so that it gives a very clear idea of the field of missionary labor, thus adding much to the value of the work. IT is stated that the late Bulwer-Lytton left a large quantity of MSS., which will serve as notes for a biographical memoir which the present lord is editing and preparing for the press. He is also preparing for the press the novel left un MR. WILLIAM H. WHEILDON'S "New History of the Battle of Bunker Hill" has reached a second edition, and he has in preparation "Beacon Hill: the Beacon and the Monument." MR. SMILES has nearly ready a work, to be entitled "Thrift," which will form a companion volume to his popular illustrations of "Character" and "Self-Help."
