Hall on Thursday evening, Mr.. ltiS's voice

GALLERY or ART-But few of our read
ers are aware, We believe, that we have artists
among IL, who take life-size pictures which
much surpass all portrait painting. Such we
bcliyc to be the fact. The life-sizc photo
graphs, eolorcd in oi!,-now beng made ut
Gage's-must Of necessity take the place Of
all sketching by hand for while the latter
only opproxmates to the original. so one can
guess who is intended, the former gives the
features and expression like life itself

WHY TIE NEW NuRK WEEKLY TRIBUNE
CAN NJ AFFORDED FORA DoLLAR.-Thc Week
IN Tribune is made nf,-ef matter which Ia,
been used in the Daiiy Tribune and, there
fore, the expense of setting up the matter foi
it is saved and all the Weekly costs the pro
pt1tAOIh IL lNt hnllc paper anu inc press
work. To make this matter plain 10 III,
reader, we will calculate tho expense of set
ting up the type for the JoiuHdL The pric,
of composition; or OF setting type, is in the
printers language, % cents a 1000 ems. Il
taxes about 10000 ems week 10 I'LL tn,
Journal The cost of setting up this amount
of type is $3.50 week. which re- leutct
every week through the year, costs 500. i
must be seen, then, that five publish Dali,
without setting it over this 500 would b,
saved. c., il would cost the proprietor
S6lO less than it now does to publish il. II
we could save this sum from the expense, we
could we'll afford the journal for dollar
and even for lcss.--Cong. Journal.
If there is ono obstacle greater than an
other in country newspaper publishers cx
perience, it is the crowling into the countrl
Of city wecklics made up of their dailics, of
which the \. Y. Tribune is foremost Ant
chief. The above is n fair expose of the wa!
in which these city papers can be afIordc,
for less sum than II smaller country paper
And yet these same country payers hav'
done more to extend their ciculation thar
any other ono thing. They are expected t,
do more or less "blowing" every year, fo
the privilege Of an exchange. We woul'
like TO add one article TO the creed of al
those who think their whole duty done wheI
they vote the Republican ticket, sustain th
Maine law and read the Tribune andttha
is, subscribe for your County paper first, a"t
for IT,
ORLEANS COUNTY seems to be wide awak
