when his iustrious grandfather exclaimed on

WHAT REPORTERS WILL DO SOMETIMES
At the Conservative banquet, at the Philhar-
monte Hall, Mr.. Disraeli, who spoke rather
late in the evening, made use of the following:
Gentlemen, am not one of those who scat.
ter ambiguous voices in the market place"
There were some reporters from Scotland,
eagerly catching up the pearls Of eloquence
which fell from parliamentary lips, and in the
North British Daily Mail we find the passage
rendered thus -" Gentlemen, am not one Of
those who stagger and use big voices in the
market place. "-Liverpooi Courier.

PRoGREss OF ART.-The success which has
attended the Photographic art, that wonder of
the present age, the various purposes of utility
and beauty to which it may be applied, and
the progress of improvement by which it is so
rapidly approaching to perfection, are truly re-
markabie.
Some time since, while in one of the largest
bookstores in Boston, my attention was called
to large collection of finely executed and
beautiful ambrotypes of various and interest
ing subjects, including views of remarkable
edifices, landscapes, and portraits of distin-
guished personages. They were put up in
frames of various and appropriate styles for
the walls of parors and other apartments, and
Twas informed that they met with a ready
and rapid sale, for all parts of the country, par
ticularly in the larger cities, where they were
much admired and sought for.
Being in New Bedford, shortly after, l was
led to visit the establishment of Charles Taber
& Co., the extensive booksellers of that city,
where these ambrotypes are manufactured on
a large scale | found that the best European
pictures are procured as fast as they appear,
and are thus reproduced in style, and at
price, which makes them most desirable orna-
ments for the parlor and boudoir, wherever
they can be procured. The manufacture is
under the immediate supervision of the senior
partner of the firm, who took up the business
as an amateur, and who, to mechanical inge-
genuity, adds fine taste, and that enthusiasm
for art which is the surest guaranty of success.
He has devoted much patient thought to the
subject, and made many experiments, result
ing in valuable Improvements in the various
and delicate processes by which the most per-
feet pictures are obtained He is now engaged
in perfecting the details by which, By an entire
ly net1 process of his own invention, he procures
cOLorcd ambrotypes, with all the delicacy and
nicely of tinting that are attained by the elab-
crate efforts of the pencil. The perfecting of
this process is desideratum in the art. R.
Specimens of these photographs may be
seen and procured at the store of Edward Mel

LIT US BE CAUTTous,-Let us be cautious
as to lottery transactions. There are thousands
of people who oR try their luck for fortune in
the lottery, and under these circumstances it is
our duty to call there attention to such lotteries
as are conducted honestly. There are many
bogus lottery concerns in the United States, all
of which are duly shown up in the New York
Herald. OF the Maryland State Lottery, man
aged by r. France & CO., that paper says
From The NeIo York Herald, December 26.
The Maryland State Lottery, which is con.
sdered the most substantial lottery in the coun-
try, and which is carried on under legal char
ter, conducts its drawing in a very simple man
ner, and 1t IS always attended by large num-
Der OF persons Near the wheel, the commits
sloner who is elected by the people, conducts
the drawing as required by The charter.
The commissioner is in duty bound to make
public, as soon as the numbers are open from
the TN tube, and all drawings without his sigma
ture are illegal. The Commissioner of the
Maryland State Lotteries always, issues a GER
tlhcae OF each drawing. And the result of each
drawing IN Maryland, is known in almost every
city just as soon as the result can be telegraphed
over the wires.

ance towards one another, gentleness, and
affectionate effort for mutual elevation of
character, are the virtues which it especially
commends. The plot of the story is hap
nily conceived, and is unfolded with much
skill. The style is easy and agreeable, and
well suited to the capacities of young read
ers. We are glad to learn that the book is
quite popular, for we think it calculated to
do great deal of good. 1t may be had of

New Hampshire.

The Republicans of New Hampshire
have taken the field in earnest, and will nc
doubt keep it till March They have made
strong nomination fer governor, in the
person of Mr.. Goodwin of Portsmouth
and while we are thus speaking of their
able nominee, we must also express our
hearty admiration of the platform adopted
which we see was reported by the able ed
itor of the Independent Democrat Of Con-
cord. They speak out on the slavery ques-
ton without fear or favor. They declare
for the passage of law forever prohibit
ing slavery in all our territories now ac-
quired or hereafter to be acquired-that the
democratic party has but two controlling
ideas, the enjoyment of the offices under
the federal government, and the extension
of human slavery as the price of those Of
fces-and that the only way TO put an end
to the agitation of the extension of slavery
is to put an end to the Democratic party
(good) and that the mission OF the Repno-
lican party is ''to restore liberty to its long
lost nationalty-to yindicate and protect
the interest of free labor and to make our
whole country the land of free men," The
policy of trying to ignore the slavery ques-
ton don't go down in New Hampshire, nor
will it in any of the free States.
In the third Congressional district, Hon.
Thomas NJ. Edwards has been nominated
for Congress, and will no doubt be elected.
He is the one who spoke in the grove here
in 1856, and compared Frank Pierce to the
negro when walking alone with the corpse
of his child under his arm, and when spoken
to replied, "Don't speak to me, I'm a fune-
raj p
