added that an artist is often
engaged for months in the re.
production of a single picture,
thatin lithographing some pic
lures more than thirty differ.
ent stones have to be used, and
that, throughout the whole
work, degree of skill-to say
nothing of artistic genius, pa
tience and care is requisite,
such as is demanded in few
other omployments of the hu:
man brain and hands, it will be
seen that such an inference is
unwarranted. .t.-,... ..r
Everybody knows what lith-
ography is-or rather that it is
the process of printing from
stone, and chromos such as are
made almost exclusively at
Prang & Co.'s establishment,
are the reproduction of oil or
water color paintings by this
process of chromo-li lithography,
which in its application to this
end reaches in the hands of
skilful artists the climax of
adaptability to artistic pur-
poses. To produce such chro-
mos requires conditions for suc-
cess other than mere excel
lence of stone and material,
and the perfection Of the print
er's skill; there is something
more important than either or
all of this. The hand that re-.
produces on the stone the
painting to be copied must be
that of a true artist. No daub-
er or botcher can do this work,
which demands in him who
does it not merely manua!
skill and fine artistic vision,
but a thorough understanding
of and earnest sympathy with
the purpose of the painter
whose work is before him,
strong powers CT analysis and
rare knowledge of colors. Few
men possess these qualifica-
tions in the requisite degree;
but that of these few Prang'S
establishment has its full share,
is attested by the fidelity and
general artistic excellence of
his chromos. .
Within six years Prang's
chromo-li Autographs have at
tanned a popularity unprece-
dented in the history of Art.
In less than twenty years since
the first chromos, from England d
and Germany, were brought to
this country. Their circulation
was very limited, owing to
their high cost, and other rea-
sons; but day there is hardly
a person of moderate education
who is not familiar with
Prang's American chromos, and
few families who do not pos
sess one or more OF them. Of
a single picture, Tait's "Chick-
ems" over 10000 copies have
been sold; and the Barefoot
Boy" published only a few
months ago, the "Easter Morn
ing" the @Reading Magdalen"
and a dozen Others, bid fair to
become its rivals in popularity.
These facts tend to disprove the
common assertion that the
..-ass of the people have no
taste for or appreciation of art.
1t has not been a question Of
taste, but question of money.
Nine persons out of ten covet
a fine painting, wherever they
see one; but eight of the nine
have not the means to crafty
their longing. Mr.. Prang has
made possession an easy Sc
quence Of desire. For ten dol.
lars the working man may glo-
rify his house with one of Cor
regio's masterpieces for the
same sum he may delight his
eyes and his soul with the har-
monicus richness of Bierstadts
"Sunset in California;" be may

as the City Council passed the ordinance allow

pany to construct bridge across the Savan-
mai, and enter the city that tn. Gtigation be-
tween that corporation and the South Carolina
Railroad would commence afresh, and the
United States Court would be the scene OF war
fare. That this opinion was correct was dem
onstrated on Wednesday last by a notice beng
served on Mayor Russell, by Messrs. Gould
and Hull, the plaintiffs attorneys, that on the
third of next m,nth an application would be
made to Judge Erskine. in the United States
Court at Savannah, for au Injunction restrain,
