All women know that il is beauty rather

wondered al then. thatso much OF women's
time aud attention should be directed to
the means of developing and preserving
their beauty? Womon know, 100, that when
men speak Of the intellect of women they
speak criticlly, tameIy aud cooly; but when
they come rospeak of the charms OF heau-

Weld & Quackenbos' Grammar, adopted by
the Superintending School Committee at their
last meeting, as the standard grammar for the
schools of this city, is published by Messrs.
Bailey & Noyes, and is admitted by gooo
judges to be the best in use. Some zO,OOO
copies have already been sold, and the demand
is constantly increasing.
Messrs. B. & N. are the publishers of twenty
different school books, among which is
"Smyth's Mathematics" which are extensive
ly used throughout the New England States.
They have in press the "History of Portland"
by William Willis, Esq. This work is pre-
pared with much care, and is being printed
on fine paper, with good, clear type, and illus
trated with elegant engravings. This will be
the most careful written and best printed book
ever issued in this State, an honor alike to the
author and publishers, and work of which
every Portland man will be proud. The num-
Der printed will be limited, so that those who
desire to secure copy should enter their
names on the subscription book. 1t will be
issued about the first of December.
Messrs. b. d N. have also published several
other works which have met with popular
favor and had ready sale. Their facilities
for publishing are the best probably in the
State, having an extensive binding, with dies
of almost every variety, and presses Of great
power.
They keep large stock of miscellaneous
and school books, and are prepared to supply
the trade on as favorable terms as any other
establishment in New England.

The Varian-Hoffman Concert.

To the Editor Of the Press:
was greatly surprised to see in the Courier
such notice of the above concert as appeared
few days ago. What's the matter with the
editors of that sheet? Don't they know what
good music is? Have they no music in their
souIJ? Or what is the trouble? Madame
Varian humbug! Hoffman no claims to pro-
fessional skill! These editors are great Judges
truly! 1t is universally conceded by all good
judges of music that Madame Varian and Mr..
Hoffman are artists Of unquestionable merit
and entitled to much credit for their study,
practice and perseverance, the one to make
herself an accomplished vocalist, the other to
make himself an accomplished pianist. Both
have succeeded in their professions, and now
stand high in public estimation as American
artists.
Ii these editors know nothing about music,
as is generally believed they have no business
to speak thus of musical-performances and
injure the good name American artists have
wrought out for themselves by dint of hard
study and long practice. Such ignoramusses
as these editors would appear to much better
advantage If they would conine themselves
to telegraph news and every day affairs Of
common life, and not NEEDLE with other mat
tiers which are entirely above their reach.
There is an old Latin maxim which these edi-
tors ought to read often, to wit, Ne sutor
ultra crepiddna, which means, "Let not the
cobbler go beyond his last" have written
the above in justice to Madame Varian and
Mr.. Hoffman, and hope the editors of the
Courier will, in the future, stick to their legit-
innate business, and not paddle off into deep
water before they learn how to swim.

FORTY MILLION SEvEN-THIRTY SUB
scRIBED.-The subscriptions to this popular
loan are now over forty million dollars, and
they continue to come in at the rate of about
a million day. The public are satisfied that
there are no other investments so profitable as
U. 5. securities. While nearly all the hum
dreds of miscellaneous stocks sold in the New
York market have been declining for several
weeks lin many instances twenty-five per
cent?, Government stocks have remained
firm; and while lenders loan very sparingly,
and at high rates, on the best mercantile pa
per, they have plenty OF money to lend on
Government paper, at as low rates as ever.
While the Government needs the peoples
money, and pays for it literally, it offers the
highest possible consideration besides, and
that is, safety.
