presence Of the brass band discoursing
sweet music to the crowd engaged in
getting rid of their loose change at ten
cents q chance. "Will you take a

w AGENTS wanted, ladies and gentlemen
in every County in the United States, to
sell the Ink Powders Of the American
Ink Company. The powder sells for
forty cents per package, and will make
ink enough to fill fifty bottles of the
size usually retailed at ten cents per
bottle. A smart agent can sell gross
of it a day, and clear $2760. The ink
can be made from the powder in three
minutes i'll common boiling water. II
is perfect black ink, the best in the
world. 1t flows easily, does not corrode
the pen particle, never gums up, is not
injured by freezing, and its color will
last forever. Every family in America
will buy it, as a package will last a
family for years, and ink can be made
in small quantities as wanted. With
each gross we send thousand circulars
with testimonials from clergymen, law
yers, teachers, merchants, commercial
colleges, editors, &C., aud the agents
name on the bills Only one person
will be made agent for a county. The
first one sendingS3 for gross of the
powder will receive it by return express
together with one thousand circulars
and the right to sell in the county he or
she designates. If others send for the
same county, the money will be returned
to them free Of expense. To make sure,
one had better designate several coun-
ties, either of which he or she will take.
Send for trade list and circulars if you
dare run the risk of waiting, o. send the
money for a gross. Letters addressed
to the Mayor, Postmaster, cashiers Of
the banks, or the express agents Of this

The TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES CELEBRATION To
DAY.-A very interesting proceeding comes on
In the city to-day-a procession of the Father
Mathew temperance societies, In honor OF the
birthday Of the benign and venerable founder
OF the total abstinence system, the late Rev.
Theobald Mathew. The influence Of these
societies a. moral agents, conservators Of Order
and promoters Of good conduct and prosperity
among q large class Of the community can
hardly be overrated. Apart from the good
which they effect as benevolent institutions,
operating within themselves, their influence in
furthsring industry and sobrlety among the
working classes is far greater than they either
seek or receive credit for. In all our outdoor
demonstrations II must have been observed
that these societies comprise most respect
able portion Of the procession, attracting uni
versal attention by their numerical strength,
handsome insignia and orderly demeanor.
Not the least interesting feature Of these bodies
Is the number Of young boys from the schools
attached to the different chur ches who form
part Of the pageant In clean and gay attire.
