Sales Department in the Ohio College
of Trade, in the Spring of 1861, by the
! President of the National Business
College of Trade, was the origin of
this new system of combining actual
business transactions with scholastic
discipline in the college room, thereby
originating the present popular sys
! tenn of actual business instruction, to
more practically and thoroughly teach
| young men the art of Double Entry
Book Keeping. Having had many
years of experience in various depart
ments of manufacturing, mercantile,
| lumber, and banking business, and
more recently the express and grain
and produce business, we claim the
practical knowledge of merchants,
coupled with the drill of the teachers
profession, thereby afording an OPP
portunity rarely offered for young
men to avail themselves of the bene
fit of actual business instruction as
taught in the National Business Col
! lege of Trade. aefk :Sn19ho w3H
1t has been our purpose for years to
do what we could to bring into public
notice the system of Practical 'Educa-
cation, and we are free to say that
this purpose is strengthened by each
/ years experience of the increasing de-
mands and growing appreciation CT
our system of trianing young men for
the high and responsible duties of
American citizenship. 10
New METRoPoLITAN-A fair au-
dience assembled on Saturday night,
and the plays were well presented
Tonight the celebrated American
actress, Miss Rachel johnson, viii
commence brief engagement, open
| irfg with Miss Matilda Heron's great
| play, entitled the Belle Of the Sea-
son" The manager, with his usual
tact and liberality, has effected re-
engagement with that finished artist,
Mr.. B. Macauley, to appear in con-
| junction with Miss johnson, present
ing a combination of talent rarely if
ever equalled. We clip the following
from the New Orleans Tin.e':
Miss Rachel johnson brought her
brilliant engagement at the Varieties
i Theatre to close last evening, having
established herself in the estimation
of the best judges, as fully deserving
the exceedingly high eulogiums which
preceded her to our city. That vete-
ran actor and scholarly. critic, Mr..
i Hackett, who is considered to be
somewhat chary of his approbatory
| comments upon Western actors and
acting, publicly declared it as his opin
ion, that Miss johnson is by far the
best actress on the American stage.
We are glad ito find our own opinion
corroborated by SO competent, and we
may add, so cautious and reticent a
critic. = of'a', g ss gf'iin
ITO great personal qualifications for
the stage as, fine person, an ex-
! pressively handsome face, great ease
i of action, and an entire absence from
affectati0n-this lady adds the evil
| dence of having put them all. to the
best use, in the most. careful as well
as Intelligent study. What is the use
| of possessing all these natural gifts if
they are not regulated in, their display
in sueh,lwise as to- produce we'll
combined effect? Their skillful COM
bination and application in whatever
Miss johnson, does gives her acting
the character of thoughtful and un-
Outstanding portrayal. Her voice is
one of peculiar richness, the quality
and meditation of it blending most
musically in her reading aud this
j whether In comic or serious drama.
It is only left us to say, let one and
all go to the New Metropolitan to-
night and pay their devoirs at the
/ sbrrina Of beautv grace and genius.
