WASHINGTON CRY, April 20, 1919
hr. Freeman Hunt.-SIR: owe you many t1anls
fer the opportunities have had 10 read the Merchants
Magazine and have found it in reality 20 be Nigga
zine. and that well replenished Of all the useful
matter which the title would imply, and presented
with funess and clearness which delights while l.
instructs. 1t is, in fact merchants magazine in
the large acceptation OF the term-merchants whit 20
between nations, whose large operations bring many
departments OF knowledge, and view of the state Of
the world into daily requisition But it is not the
great merchant only bat the OF more modest,
but. nevertheless, of most useful operstions-tbe
merchant of the interior also-who will find this ma
gazine to abound with the information the pursuit
of his business and the elevation Of the mercantile
character requires. Nor is its utility at all confined
to merchants but extends TO the legislator and dpo
matist, and to all who are charged with managing
the affairs of the nation. For myself have found
il most useful TO me in my senatorial labors, aud
have been in the habit for many years of carefully
consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant,
THOMAS III. BENTON.

who are taken in company are apt to share
the same fate.

know whether Uncle Sam or the MANAGERS
OF the Washington Assemblies pay the ma

tonight.
BzB The Court house this morning was
pretty well attended, it being expected that
the case ofW. B. Sasscer would be taken up;
but the word having gone forth that the
case was postponed till Thursday next, the
crowd was soon reduced.
B9| The alarm of fire this morning, was
caused, we learn, by the burning of
Smiths shop and some old frame dwellings
in the Fifth Ward.
Watch report.-Another Cabin closed
Ben Cooper, VIM. Carpenter, and Ann
Brown, free negroes, were taken out at a dis
orderly house last night, and sent to the

PROSPECTUS OF THE
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
To Mechanics, hacentors, and MANUFACTURERS.
THE publishers Of the Scientific American re-
i spectfully give notice that the Sixth Volume of
this valuable journal commenced on the twenty rsi
OF September Offering favorable opportunity for all
to subscribe who take interest in the and
development of the Mechanics, Arts. and Manufac-
lures of our country. The character of the Scientific
American is too well known throughout the country
to require detailed account of the various subjects
discussed throug its columns.
The aim of the publishers is and has been to render
1t the most thorough aud useful scientific journal in
the country; and to judge of this, by comparing its
circulation and Influence with other publications of
the same class, they have unequvocal evidence of its
Value as the leading exponent of the Arts and Sci
ences.
1t is published weekly as heretofore, in quarto form
on fine white paper, aording at the end of the year
an illustrated Encyclopedia of four hundred
pages with an index, and from five to six hundred
original Engravings described by letters of refer
ence; beside vast amount of practical information,
concerning the progress of Scientific and Mechanical
improvements, Chemistry, Civil Engineering Manu-
featuring in its various branches Architecture, Ma
sonry Botany-in short it embraces the entire range
of the Arts and Sciences.
1t also possesses original feature not found in
any other weekly journal in the country, viz; an
Official List of Patent Claims prepared expressly for
its columns at the Patent Office thus constituting it
the ''American Reportory of Inventions.''
In connexion with the publishing department, the
proprietors transact the most extensive home and
foreign Patent business done in this country;
quently their facilities must be correspondingly
perior.
Terms-ss2,0O per year, in advance; LOO for six
months.
