school, We are enabled TO save the stu
dent from FIVE to twenty dollars on blanks
alone, The entire expense Of the course,
inclusive OF board, need not be more than
from $40 to $500. It will be always the
object of the principals to make the ex-

SELF DEMONSTRATING an unwi-e
parent works hard, and lives sparingly all
his life, for the purpose Of leaving enough
to give his children start in the world,
as it is called. Setting young man atloat
with the money left him by his relatives,
is like tying bladder under the arms of
one who cannot swim ten chances to one
he will lose his bladders and 90 to the
bottom. Teach him to swim and he will
not need the bladders. Give your child a
sound education See to it that his mo-
rails are pure, his mind cultivated, and his
whole nature made subservient to the laws
which govern man, and you have given
what will be of more value than the wealth
Of the Indies You have given him a
start which no misfortune can deprive him
Of TIE earlier you teach him to depend
upon MS own resources and the blessings OF
q cd, the better.

AMERICAN CHAIN OF
COMMERCIAL COLLEGES.
ITS GENERAL AND LOCAL MANAGEMENT.

IL IL Che design OF the founders OF this
Chain to bring the best possible facilities
for procuring sound business education
within the reach of the young men and la
dies Of all sections Of the county.
The Colleges of this Chain are in effect
one great school; all employing the same
course of instruction, and being connected
by perfected system of correspondence,
thus carrying out the great plan of actual
business instruction to an extent never be-
fore contemplated.
Each Of the schools has Resident Prin-
cipal and full and able corps of teachers,
rendering it complete in itself; while it is
the object Of the General Managers to
place all the schools upon the same footing.
Ii is the special aim of each of the Resi-
dent Principals to render his school supe-
rior to the others. Thus there always ex-
lists healthful rivalry, not only between
the students Of the different Colleges, but
between the Colleges themselves,
The management Of the Chain is as fol-

PROF Blossom, BANGOR COMMERCIAL

Dear Sir; In appreciation Of the ad-
vantages which your College affords to
persons wishing to acquire IN educa-
ton in the art of penmanship, take
pleasure in recommending it to the
public.
Those wishing to become expert in
plain and ornamental penmanship, will
find all the instruction necessary to ac-
complish their object. The best evil
dence a teacher can give of his ability
to instruct is a practical illustration with
the pen. Any person who will call and
examine the specimens in your College,
cannot fail to be convinced that it is
just the place for gentleman or lady
to acquire thorough education in any
department where the pen is employed.
The systematic arrangement Of your
College, its thorough drill in the ele-
mentary principles of writing, the gen
tlcmanly and obliging department of
its Principals, cannot fail to meet the
appreciation Of all who feel interested
in the advancement of this department
of education.
Accept my hearty congratulations
for your success thus far, and may your
College receive in the future that pat
ronage which it so richly merits and
your efforts be crowned with success
Respectfully yours,
MARK PALMER.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April l6.-An attempt was made
last week by the Federal troops stationed at Lees
burg to arrest the notorious guerrilla John S.
Mosby, for appearing on the street dressed in a
Confederate uniform. MOsby took to the woods.
thus evading the guards, who fred several shots.
There is official evidence that the Emperor Ma
poleon is Withdrawing his troops, and that Maxi
milan is substituting Austrian and Belgian re-
cruits.
Some excitement has been caused here by the
discovery, within a few days, of gold quartz on
the Potomac.
Mrs. C. C. Clay returned from Fortress Monroe
within few days, and laid before the President
recommendations for the release of her husband
on parole, from such officials as Gen. Grant, Sen
atOrs Wilson and Stevens. They all express the
opinion that Mr. Clay will observe his parole, and
his conduct in voluntarily giving himself up en-
titles him this much consideration. His release
from confinement at Fortress Monroe is expected
within few days.
Among the mass of testimony submitted to-day
from the Committee on Reconstruction, was that
of Hon. A. ii. Stephens. Mr.. Stephens gives as
his opinion that an overwhelming majority of the
people of Georgia are exceedingly anxious for the
restoration of the Government and for the State
to take her former position in the Union and en-
JOY her rights and adjust all her obligations as a
State under the Constitution of the United States
as it stands amended. His opinion is that the
people are perfectly satisfied with the experiment
Of secession, and that they will never resort to
that measure of redress again. He believes the
only hope for their liberties now is the restora-
ton Of the Constitution of the United States and
of the Government under the Constitution.
The President O-day nominated to the Senate
for confirmation, Mr.. Smith. President of the
Central North Bank, to be Collector Of the Port
Of New York; Hon. Mr.. Courtney, U. S. Attorney
