WHO MAKES THE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLDP PENS!

TIE MoRToN GOLD PEN.-The shadow attends the
substance with no less certainty than imitation FOL
lows success If man builds magnificent house
on q novel plan some other man is sure to build
another as nearly like it as possible The conflding
cluckng hen lays an egg; but human skill has pro-
duced a china porcelain imitation which to some
degree is made to in the place of the original
The hen very stupidity sets the China egg as II 1t
were genuine one the rObber of her nest is enjoy
ing her real product in the shape of an omelette
But after ALL the hen is not whit more stupid than
many specimens of humanity, who accept spurious
substitute and only too late to find out their error.
Take for instance, Morton's gold pens. Morton put
his skill, bis capital his labor and his brains to
work, and by means of his patented machinery pro-
duced pen which satisfied everybody Envious
and covetous knaves noted his success and aware OF
the gullibility of mankind, made miserable imlta-
tions. They stole Morton's name and, altering the
initials, so as to avoid legal consequences, announced
their puerile efforts as " The Morton Pen" Some
even went further and issuing circulars, promised
receipt Of IA certain sum of money to send back
Morton pen by mail the money would be sent, but
no pen at all would be returned. Generally, how
ever, spurious pens would be palmed off on unsus
pecing individuals.
To remedy all this Mr.. Morton has decided to sell
his pens only ut his store, No % Maiden-lane, or
through his authorized agents, who are in all cases.
provided with an official certificate from headquar
tiers, and with good stock of the Morton pens In
this way purchasers need only buy goods that they
can previously examine for themselves. The writing
public may therefore hereafter purchase their pens

Mr.. MORTON The manual labor of writing had
always been difficult and painful to me. had never
been able to purchase gold pen adapted to my
hand quilts were too and soon wore out, and
steel pens were harsh and stiff
In March, 1865, after half an hours experimenting
you selected gold pen for me, as flexible as quill
and as fine as ] wanted. / had never found any
thing with which could write half so easily before
But lost it in California, and for few months
scratched away as best | could with steel pens On
the day after reaching New-York again, with your
aid found another gold pen in your establishment
as good as the first have used it daily ever since
and now write these lines with it, with an ease to
which was a stranger before l met you two years
ago. One Of my friends adopted your pens from the
same cause and with the same results. l am conf
dent that you can fit any hand, however cramped
and help any writer however hard to suit.

MoRTOS's GOLD PkNs.-Mr. Morton, who Is an
old friend of TRIBUNE readers, makes hls
appearance again this morning in our advertising
columns. Our opinion of his pens has been
too often expressed to be doubtful but we take a
pleasure in saying that we know of no gold
pens in the world equal to those manufactured by
Mr. Morton We have used them Tor more years
than we care 10 remember and we have sent many
thousands OF them 10 friends who extending
our circulation There never was but one testimony
about them. They write with unequaled ease and
rapidity with almost. or. if you choose, with quite
the elasticity of - quill and their durability
is as remarkable as the niccty of their work
manshp. There in Il reason for this perfection. Mr..
Mortons pens are made by machinery of his own
invention of the most costly and delicate cOnstruc
ton which enable him to make pens nj once better
and cheaper than can be fabricated by hand. They
have superseded steel pens with all who study ex-
idly superscding other gold pens. Mr.. Morton now
sells by agents rs we'll at his own store, No. %

teIesting way, all needful information 10 purchasers

The Case of Smrratt. |.

WAsHINGToN, April 3.-The trial of Sur
raft vet awaits the pleasure of the court,
no time having been fixed. The stories
ahoat of the rigor attending his contine-
ment are wholly imaginary. He has the
entire corridor, thirty feet long, with three
cells, for his exclusive use.
On pleasant days he Is permitted to en-
joy the open air in the Jail yard, the keeper
alone being within hail. On such occa-
sions, as on all Others, he is spared the in
dignity of irons, and dresses In fine clothes
furnished by his friends, manufactured in
the most approved style.
His sister spends at least each alternate
day with him, and-his provisions are sent
to him by his friends from the neighbor-
ing restaurants. Whatever he desires to
read is also supplied him. He Is very re-
ticent in conversation in regard to the
crime with which he is charged, but seems
rather to delight in the mystery attending
his movements during the last two years.
He claims that he left Canada In daylight
from a principal city, wholly without dis
guise, and had for a fellow-voyager Swany,
who distinctly recognized him.
