WAS HE SUCCESSFUL?

This new serial, by the very popular author of “Undercurrents of Wall-Street,” “St. Leger,” etc., which is commenced in this number of THE CONTINENTAL, will greatly add to the reputation of Mr. Kimball as one of the most graphic delineators of American life and character now living.  It will be continued throughout the year.

THE RECOLLECTIONS OF WASHINGTON IRVING,

By one of his early friends, will be found to embody many very interesting facts in regard to that eminent man, which have not before been made public.

AMONG THE PINES.

This serial, which is pronounced by the Press a perfect daguerreotype of Southern Life and Manners, is continued in this number, with increasing interest.  It will be completed in the July or August issue of THE CONTINENTAL, when it will be followed by other contributions from the same writer.
