Business Education.

We copy the following notice ofthe
Commercial College at Portland from the
Price Current of that city. No doubt this
School is worthy of the high praise Of our
contemporary.
We take pleasure in calling attention to
the most interesting Commercial School,
kept by MIR. l.. A. Gray, in Clapp's Block
on Congress Street, in this city. This
Schuol is one link in the chain of Colleges.

Stratton T. Co, of New York.
Mr. Gray, the principal of the school in
Portland, is thorough scholar, discipliua-
rian and gentleman. His School is arrang-
ed in the most methOdical manner, and
embraces the full range Of Commercial.
Commission and Banking npei atoms, az
they will transpire In the routine Of actual
business.
Much teaching Of this nature 10 eimple

many have learned hy unhappy experience
that aetna! business transactions cannot he

perfect it NAV be. There are ~ many un-
/ certaintes and contingencies that cannot
be provided for in advance. connected with
the actual tansaction Of business, that a
system which takes up aud carries ont tu

1t is for this peenlarity ofbringing actu.

business men, who have sons to educate.
and to every one who would like to become

the constitutional amendment will not DO

with Kentucky and tho ten excluded States,
make thirteen opposed TO il. As it requires

rejection Of the amendment is now likely to
