Holloway's Pills.-One of the great merits of these Pills is that they are specifics for such an immense variety of internal diseases. They inevitably do good in all cases where the digestive organs and the liver are affected. No dyspeptic, no bilious sufferer ever took them without being benefitted. They have been standing and triumphant proof for half a century, that mineral medicines are not needed either as purgatives, alteratives or correctives. Sold by all A NEW PRACTICAL HEBREW GRAMMAR.

CAPITAL STOCK,

PUBLISHERS OF THE STATESMAN,

$100,000.

A Weekly Review of News, Politics, Business, Literature and Art.

Since the beginning of the New Year, THE STATESMAN has made its appearance, enlarged by the addition of four pages or twelve columns. Each weekly number now contains twenty pages or sixty columns, making an aggregate, at the end of the year, of one thousand and forty pages, or three thousand one hundred and twenty columns of printed matter-three-fourths of which are Reading Matter-the balance being made up of Advertisements representing nearly every description of business carried on in this city, besides the advertisements of persons engaged in business in New York, Boston and elsewhere. The rapid increase of Advertisements consequent upon the growing estimation in which THE STATESMAN is held as an Advertising Medium, necessitated the enlargement of the paper already spoken of. The circulation of THE STATESMAN-the only legitimate foundation of an advertising patronage as well as of the usefulness of any journal as an organ either of news or opinion-is steadily growing, and already extends to nearly every State in the Union, from Maine to Texas, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast; besides which, copies of the paper are mailed to persons residing in London, Paris, Berlin, Geneva, and other places abroad.

The Reading Matter of the paper embraces a greater variety of subjects than is to be found in any other weekly journal of the same character published in the United States, or than is usually found in papers of the same class published abroad. Besides the usual variety of Editorial Matter, each number of THE STATESMAN contains Critical Notes, Musical, Dramatic, Artistic or Literary; Reviews of New Books; a department of Correspondence, in which the widest latitude of discussion upon the greatest range of subjects is freely permitted; short pieces of Poetry, original or selected; a Condensed Summary of the News of the Week, and of the Proceedings of Congress and of the Maryland Legislature when in session, and a carefully prepared Review of the Markets. In the department of Fiction, each number contains one or more chapters of HAMMER AND ANVIL, a new Novel by Friedrich Spielhagen, now being published as a Serial in Germany, in the Berlin Hausfreund, and which is being translated expressly for THE STATESMAN. The most distinguished foreign critics have united in assigning to Spielhagen the first place not only among German, but among living novelists. This, it is believed, embraces a greater variety of departments than can be found represented in any other weekly paper, political or literary, published in this country.

The form of THE STATESMAN, compact and in book-shape, is very convenient for handling and for preservation. The bound Volume at the end of the year or of six months will furnish a complete Record of Events-a History of the Period-easy of reference, and capable of filling a place upon library shelves.

The subscription price of THE STATESMAN for one year is Three Dollars, payable in advance; of a single copy, Ten Cents. A liberal deduction is made upon these Rates in favor of Newsdealers and Agents, and also of Clubs subscribing for four or more copies to be forwarded to a single address. The Table of Advertising Rates can be had upon application at the Office. Address

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

[From the New Eclectic.]

THE STATESMAN is the rather aspiring name of a new political and literary weekly review, which has recently been started in this city. In form and general appearance it is quite closely modelled after the New York Nation, being a well printed quarto of sixteen pages. In politics, it belongs to the opposite school, and like The Nation, will, we suppose, represent the most enlightened and respectable wing of its party. From the few numbers we have had the pleasure of reading, we should say that it amply fulfils the promise of its prospectus, that it will be edited by a corps of able and experienced writers-that it will endeavor to deal with public men and measures, not in a spirit of narrow partisanship, but to discuss them at all times in a tone of enlightened statesmanship, liberality and candor." A journal of this class, conducted at a distance from the metropolis, is always at some disadvantage, and rarely escapes from a certain provincial narrowness. We fail, however, to discover any indications of such a spirit in this case; and although there is the strong native flavor, which always distinguishes good writing, there is no obtrusion of local prejudices and foibles. Indeed, we think it is not at all behind its older contemporaries, The Round Table and The Nation, in any of those elements of character which promise the widest influence: in liberality, breadth of sympathy, and high-toned manliness, it is, to our mind, somewhat in advance of either. It is with great pleasure that we notice the establishment of such a paper in our midst, and it will be a serious reflection upon the community if it is not liberally sustained.

[From the Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist.]

THE STATESMAN is edited by a corps of experienced writers, chiefly lawyers at the Baltimore Bar; it is a grave, weighty, argumentative sheet, strictly Conservative or Democratic in political faith, and with a fair amount of critical and literary matter, to impart to it that variety which readers in general think they have a right to expect. The tone of the paper is peculiarly dignified and impressive. Moreover, we are glad to observe that while its articles are well considered in point of thought, they are distinguished likewise by a scholarly finish and style very unusual in the newspaper lucubrations of our shrewd but careless American editors.

[From the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist]

We again call the attention of our readers to this able and interesting paper, published every Saturday in this city. It is on the plan of the New York Nation, and is well sustained. It is not an importing but a producing paper, THE STATESMAN may always be relied on for short and strong articles upon subjects of prime importance.

[From the Harford Democrat, Bel-Air, Md.]

THE STATESMAN, in its general features, resembles its New York contemporaries, The Round Table and The Nation, and in a merely literary point of view promises to be not inferior to either. It occupies ground hitherto untried in this State, and we hope will supply a want which many of us have felt. The numhers already published indicato a capacity to occupy creditably even the high position to which it aspires, and on the strength of what it has done, as well as what it promises to do, we recommend THE STATESMAN to the readers and thinkers of Harford.

[From the Staunton (Va.) Spectator.] ** Conducted by able and vigorous writers. have appeared give promise of complete success.

The numbers which

[From the New York Evening Mail.] THE STATESMAN is to the South what The Nation is to the North.

[From the Winchester (Va.) Times.]

We venture the prediction that THE STATESMAN will take rank among the most brilliant, interesting and reliable newspapers in the country.

]From the Philadelphia Universe.]

THE STATESMAN is conducted with much ability, compassing great variety in all departments, and is strongly Democratic in sentiment.

[From the Turf, Field and Farm.]

THE STATESMAN is a credit to the Monumental City. It is an able literary paper.
[From the Quincy (Fla.) Monitor.]
Edited by a corps of able and experienced writers, it is a valuable Democratic
weekly.
[From the Pittsburg (Pa.) Catholic.]

A high-toned Democratic paper, well worthy of the patronage of all classes.
[From the Knoxville (Tenn.) Press and Messenger.]
Destined to supply a want long felt in Southern literature. We commend it to
our readers.
[From the Baltimore Sun.]

The political and other subjects are handled with interest and ability.
[From the Austin (Texas) State Gazette.]

Its appearance is creditable, and its contents still more so. Its political Notes of the Week are sensible and pointed.

[From the Middletown (N. Y.) Mercury.}

Evidently conducted by gentlemen of taste and ability.

[From the Iberville (La.) South.]

We commend it to all who wish to read a sound and instructive sheet. [From the Canton (Ohio) Democrat.]

We desire to call the especial attention of the reading public to the new serial story which was commenced in the Baltimore STATESMAN of Dec. 12, entitled "Hammer and Anvil," by the greatest of living novelists, Frederick Spielhagen. The story is being simultaneously published in Baltimore and Germany, and is sure to attract a large share of the interest of romance-readers. THE STATESMAN is a first-class weekly.

[From the Orange C. H. (Va.) Native Virginian.] THE STATESMAN is undoubtedly one of the ablest papers in the country.

[From the Chicagoan.]

In politics, THE STATESMAN is strongly Democratic, but aims to discuss public men and political questions in a spirit of liberality and candor. It is compact and convenient in form, neat in appearance, and ably edited.

[From the Cumberland (Md.) Alleghanian.]

It is a publication similar in character to the Saturday Review in London, and Round Table in New York. The contents are varied, and the articles written with marked ability. It is Democratic in politics.

[From the Westminster (Md.) Democratic Advocate.] The Democratic Party in this State have long felt the need of such a journal at the commercial centre, and we hope the gentlemen who are the originators of this weekly will meet with such success as to be able to establish a daily, as they intimate in their prospectus.
