PHOTOGRAPHIC MINIATUREs.-Yes yesterday
we made a visit to Mr.. |. L. Teliga's Daguer-
reotype rooms, at Mr.. Hiram Nelson's house.
on Main street, near the canal, and examined
a number of specimens of his skill as anartist.
We have visited great number of Daguer-
reotpe Galleries in the cities, and never saw
better evidences of the perfection to which
this branch of art hasarrived. His likenesses
are colored in the most life-lke manner. His
long experience at the business, and his con-
nection with Prof. Hawkins, the best Da-
guerreotypist in the West, substantiate his
claims as a successful artist. His likenesses
are taken in the interval of from halfa dozen
to fifteen seconds, and are perfect. Read his
advertisement, and give him call.

Mr.. Greathouse, we r-r-rather think, s-s-s-so-

DEAR BEN Sir: We had a pleasant time
to-day. We were honored with the presence
of the beautiful ladies of Indianapolis, as we
are every day, but more extensively so to-day,
on account Of Gov Wright's inaugural adj
Dress which was able and instructive. We
then proceeded to the Senate accompanied by
those beautiful creatures, (the soul cheering
cause of mems ambition) to hear Lieutenant
Gov. Lanes address.

Job Printing.

We have now obtained the assistance of an
excellent Job Printer from Louisville, and having
the largest and most fashionable assortment of
types between Louisville and St. Louis, we can
do work in better style than any other Office in
this region and on as reasonable terms:
The Journal Office is now prepared to print
Steamboat Bills in plain or colored inks, and in
the handsomest styles. We have one of the fin
est and largest cuts made in the West, with
smaller ones for large cards, &C. If our work is
not equal to that of Louisville in beauty and
neatness, no charge will be made. Steamboat
cards of all sizes and quality executed on reas-
enable terms. We respectfully solicit of our
steamboat friends share of the patronage they
90 literally bestow on the Louisville and Gin
cinnati offices.

DOnly few days ago Sanders said the
Commercial had been in the habit of doing
job work at rates so low that they afforded no
profit. On yesterday he underbid US, and
actually did a job at price which was refus-
ed b. US. What has the Journal to offer in
extenuation of this palpable offence against
fair competition? True, the work was not
as -well executed as it would have been at the
Commercial, but that is no apology-work
should never be bOtcheb because the printer
takes it at half price, Commercial.

which are fair for the patron and the office
less than which we nerer take, except when
the patron has large amount of work to do
when we can afford to make discount. We

us he would have one or two sets of bills Del
week during the winter Tor us TO print, wher
a reasonable discount was made as in every
other branch of the business, to wholesale pa.

made of US, that we are Undertaking othel

hands to make this course desirable The
