IT, The Cincinnati Gazette SAYS
Z" on the 1st of January last, we abol-
ishcd the old fashioned and time hon
ored yearly credit subscription system,
and adopted in its stead the fast, mod
ern. go-ahead, cash in advance princi-
pie. The vestiges of this ancient Gus
tom remain, and are likely to remain
with us, in the shape of piles of anti
quated and musty tones, upon whose
ample pages might bc figured up, at n
moderate calculation. the snug little
sum. of one hundred thousand dollars
in delinquent subscriptions running
back through two generations, most of
! the dclinquents having long since paid
the debt of nature. and rs a natural
sequence thereto, eflectually cancelled
their obligations to the Gazette.
Since the adoption of this system,
we have rigidly ahcrcd to it, discon-
tinuing all mail subscriptions at their
expiration, unless renewed by advance
payment, and making all city sub
scriptions. without exception, payable

20 carriers.
Ii may be a matter of interest to
some of our contemporaries from a
number Of whom we have received let
tiers of inquiry on the subject, tC
know that the result of this policy
has been an increase of nearly .fffy pen
cent. in the circulation of the Daa,
Gazette during the past year; and l.
advancing at this time, in the face o
the financial pressure. more rapidly
than at any previous period.
We hope soon to see the Press. no
only of the larger cities, but of th'
country especially, which has hereto
fore furnished information to so nu
mcrous a class Of people gratis. ASSUME
a more independent and business-lik
position; and a system, which ha
now grown SO antagonistic TO their in
, terests, and the necessity for the exist
ence of which is past, give way to on

sensation. On Christmas day he dincd

On the morning of the Goth he com
planned of being sick, and at last took
to his bed.

bite the hand which the cat hal bitten

avail, and at s o'clock on the 9th,

IN SPLENDID WORKS OF ART.
THE GREAT LIBRARY OFFER.
AGENTS GETTING RICH..

The union of EMERsov's Magazine and
PurNAM's MONTHLY has given to the consol-
idated work a circulation second 10 but one
similar publication in the country, and has
secured for it a combination OF literary and
artistic talent probably unrivaled by any
other magazine in the world. During the
first month, the sale in the trade and demand
from subscribers exceeded 80 900 copies, and
the numbers already issued of the consoli-
dated work are universally conceded to have
surpassed, in the richness of their literary
contents, and the beauty and prolusenoss OF
their pictorial illustrations, any magazine
ever before issued from the American press.
Encouraged by these evidences of favor, the
publishers have determined to commence the
new volume in January with still additional
attractions, and to offer such inducements to
subscribers as cannot fail to please 1t, in
circulation, ut the head of American maya
zines. With this view they now announce
the following splendid programme. They

Gen. Walker at WashinytOn.-What
he wants Done.

w AsHINGToN, Dec. 81.
Gen. Walker, having been released,
as illegally arrested, claims indemnity
for all his losses, and demands that
the Government shall send him and
his men back, rc-hoist the Nicaraguan
flag, and order it to be saluted. There
is great excitement among the South
ern members of Congress, who throng
Walkers apartments.
Judge Gale, of the Federal Court at
Mobile, decided that the schooner
Susan was illegally detained with her
cargo of supplies for Greytown. The
Collector at Mobile refused clearance
to the steamer Fashion, when applied
for by Captain Fayssoux, on the
ground that the Captain was not a
citizen of the United States. Captain
Caughlin afterwards obtained it.
Gen. Walker is still here, and, /

THE LAST SUPPER

and will present a copy of it to every three
dollar subscriber for the year 1888. 1t was
engraved at cost of over 5000 dollars, by
the late celebrated A. l.. Dick, from the
original of Raphael Morghen, after Leonardo
Da Vinci, and is the largest steel plate en-
craving ever executed in this country, being
three times the size of ordinary threc-dollar
engravings.
The first impressions of this engraving are
held al ~ dollars, and it was the intention of
the artist that none of the engravings should
ever be offered for less sum than dollars,
being richly worth that amount. Thus every
three dollar subscriber will receive the mag
azine one year-cheap at dollars-lnd this
splendid engraving, richly worth dollars;
thus getting for 3 dollars the value of . dol
lars.
We shall commence striking off the en-
cravings Immediately, yet it can hardly be
expected that impressions of so large plate
can be taken a. fast rs they will be called for
bv subscribers. We shall, therefore, furnish
them in the order in which subscriptions
are received. Those who desire to obtain
their cngravings early, and from the first
Impressions, should send in their subscrip'
tions without delay. The engraving can be
sent ON rollers, by mail, or in any other
manner as suhscribers shall order.
