The great Easter edition of the “Sunday World,” as it came from the press, yesterday, was all that had been promised, both as to beauty of typog- raphy and excellence of contents. It presented, indeed, an exceptional har- Vest of news, a surpassing collection of timely special articles, a great and va ried lot of illustrations, and a rich store of literature of both the light and the solid order. There was something in it for everybody, and nothing that any- body could call dull. And besides the pages that furnished miseelaneous information and enter tainment, there were columne and col umns of advertising matter which well repaid the many thousand readers who consulted them, Nobody who looked into those columns can plead ignorance as to Where any commodity on earth can be bought.
