WHAT WE SAW AT THE FA1K.

half-grown ones, it took the fortune OF
rising family to get q really creditable oil
painting to put on the walls OF the family
home, but now, since the chrome lithograph
has been invented and brought to perfec-
ton, as shown by
Enrich.
at the Fair, people of quite small means can
have the most exquisite gems of art hanging
on their parlor walls, and the only differ
ence between the copies and the originals
in the appearance and use of them, is that
they cost not a tenth of such as are by artists
of more repute, nor the hundredth part of
the cost of those of artists Of renOwn.
Look at Bierstadt's ' Rocky Mountains" or
the "Lady of the Lake" as shown at the Fair
in the Octagonal Building, and say whether
real painting could surpass the copy.
The Times stove.
This stove is suited to the times. when
men must economize, ana wives and daugh-
ters must oftentimes cook for the want OF
ssprofessional" assistance. 1t takes the least
fuel. it bakes bread the most perfectly, 1t
adapts itself to every want, and II Is

can not enjoy life or be welcome even at
home.

ing ranges, and by their splendid display OF
TIN and Japanned ware, are making great
sensation at the fair, and are, doubtless,
contracting to deliver to many customer.
The New Pnrham Sewing Machine.
We have not heard whether the Secretary
OF the Parnam Sewing Machine Company,
who is exhibiting their admirable long
armed machine at the fair, has secured
suitable agent yet or not; though 1t is posi-
bic that some one ere this has obtained 1t. II
YOU are man of enterprise and energy,
| nv friend, we advise you to apply for 1t. as 1t

gets the agency. Mr.. Parham has Deen
making sewing machines ever since t9eir sis
| first invention, and has now made one OF his
| own. combining all the excellencles and
remedying all the defects, as he thinks, and
| as Mr.. Kenner will show you in Department
c in the Fair, to be the case.
Artificial stone.
The invention of an artificial stone which
will not only look well at first, but continue
| in good looks always, and harden more and
more as it grows older, Is An event OF the
| greatest importance to US in this region,
xhere building stone as to be brought from
| the greatest distances. The stone manu-
| featured under the superintendence OF New
| ton Richards, ESQ, and known as Frear
stone from the inventors name, Is mace OF
materials to be found over the lake, ana OF
| easy procurement, and the chemicals en-
| ployed to cement them are not very dear, SO
| that this stone, as handsome as brown stone,
| or any other fine sandstone, can be made
| ha1 OF X.
while it is as durable as the brown stone OF
| New York city.
New Orleans sllverware.
The beautiful display Of New Orleans made
| silverware exposed to universal admiration
in the octagonal building, has always a
| crowd around it. 1t deserves this; for II IL
as beautiful as any brought from Europe OF
| the North, and is as pure and wei! con
structed as any. Being the workmanship Of
one of our own citizens, we are certainly
| proud of it, and hope that he will receive
the lust reward of his skill and persever.
ancs. MIR. Pescay has labored hard to build
up for the city of his adoption the credit o.
| being in the front rank ID this respect, ano
his workmanship shows not only this perse
yerance but his skill and proficiency, which
must have been aided by no small degree o.
| genius to have accomplished so much.
Grover q Baker.
Never behind are these gentlemen
Though they stand among the. first in th'
sewing machine race, they have never
tagged, and having secured an un-
eoualled stitch, and the easiest an(
smoothest running of machines, Away
family favorites, and having taken hign
est premiums. and gold medals, and siive
ones. and all sorts of pretty things, at mul
titude of fairs, they still compete with al
rivals, secure of public favor, at the least

varied assortment of bright tools and si

meuts and sections Of railroad and othe

Tho Howe Sewing Machine.

chine is the most likely to find out its de
fects and be able to rectify them. Ella

Only Twenty-Five Dollars.
