OFFICIAL PAINTING.

At the recent session of our legislature an
act was passedincreasing the fees of the printer
for publishing delinquent tax lists. 1t pro-
vides that the printer shall be paid, for ad-
vertising, twenty cents per tract and ten cents
for town lots. In counties where there is a
daily Published, with the exception of Cock, j
it is provided that the list shall be published
in the daily and weekly editions at compen-
sation to the publisher of twenty-five cents for
each tract, and twelve and half cents for
town lots. The bill for this act was prepared
by Hon. II. G. Withers, member from Jer-
sey, assisted by E. L. Merritt, (of the State
Register practical printer, and introduced
into the house by Hon. N. r. Casey, member
from Pulaski county. To these gentlemen
-(all democrats) are the printing fraternity
mainly indebted for this much-needed add.
ton to their hardly-earned wages. For series
of years the pay has been confessedly mad
eauate. The increase could not be made to
q more deserving portion of the community.

Durinpra recent visit to Rock Island we had
occasion to visit the establishment OF Geo.
w. d. Harris This gentleman, be it re-
membered, sacceededthe popular firm, Lang
lev & Co., as dealers in agricultural imple-
ments. His warehouse is capaclous, and
gives evidence ofthe most systematic arrange
ment in every department. Mr.. Harris is a
man of rare personal as well as business
worth; SO say his acquaintances, and so
say we after more than a casual acauaint-
ance.
Among great variety of implements in
store, we noticed the qualities of the follow
ing Calls seed sower for vcornstalk and
weedy ground Being eleven feet wide, in
going over a tract of so acres times it will
SOW just one acre. 1t win put in from % to
80 acres per day
; Mr.. II. is also agent for Calls combined
sower and cdltivator, eight feet in width
This implement is not likely to clog, as each
shovel works independent of the other.
Coles patent stalk cutter is machine,
too, that should recommend itself to our far
mers. 1t cuts the stalks and leaves them to
enrich the ground. Another advantage is
that after it has gone over once the ground
is ready for blowing.
The wood reaper and mower is also ON
hand. 1t being both reaper and mower,
the expense of a separate gear and bar is
| saved. This is important to farmers viewing
| it in the light OF economy.
| We also saw a corn planter which We were
surprised to learn eXcels Browns. 1t is
| known as Selby's Celebrated Union Corn
and Bean Planter. From the examination
we believe it to be superior to any. and all
others. This Planter has respectively been
| awarded the FIRST premium at the state fairs
| of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, over
a large number of competitors, among which
| we believe was Browns. The following are
somesof the points claimed as establishing
its superiority over all other implements
lst, it runs lighter than any other implement
| Sd, the driver is seated back of the axle, SO
| that there is no weight on the horses necks
Sd, the depth Of planting is so regulated that
it is not in the least affected by the position
or weight OF the operator, it being SO ar
ranged that he can plant from one TO six In
ches deep as he desires. This planter is fan
ahead of all other machines of its kind in
simplicity and durability Of construction
Amy part or portion may be removed without
| interfering with any other portion of the ma

The national democratic committee held a
meeting in New York on the 9TH, at which,
it appears, the question of calling national
democratic convention at any time before the
regular nominating convention next year,
was considered. The committee decided not
to call such convention. The decision was
wise. A convention now could accomplish
no good results whatever. z,geT
Two calls for national democratic conven-
