Stereoscopic Views.—Those of our readers who are fortunate enough to have in their house one of the beautiful instruments know as stereoscopes can appreciate any praise and notice of such articles.  The photographs which accompany these instruments seem pictures no longer.  The figures seen in very truth to stand out in as bold relief as flesh and blood could do, and to be tableaux of real life.  Appleton & Co., of New York, have published a great quantity and variety of these stereoscopic pictures, a large assortment of which are for sale by J. R. Cobb & Co.  These represent a great variety of subjects. One set of half a dozen or more capitally illustrated Miss Flora McFlimsy who had “Nothing to wear”—others present statuary, landscapes, negro life, family groups, &c., &c. No pleasanter amusement can be devised for a family taken a stereoscope with a dozen or two pictures. Call at Cobbs and select.
