TO THE PuBLlc,-l affords me much pleasure
to state that in July, 1871, Front Street Theatre
was painted inside and out with RratslaY's Pat
ent Enamel paint, for which G P. Knight, No.
SO West Lombard street. is agent, ard to testify
to It's superiority over any and all other paints
for similar uses. In no private dwelling can
paint possibly be subjected to the very severe
test it undergoes at this establishment, where,
during our daily cleaning soap and soda are
constantly applied to it, and yet it appears as
sound and fresh as when first put on. Of the
numerous advantages it possesses over other
paints will mention its being mixed and ready
for in quantities to suit purchasers, its quick
ly drying properties, which saves much time in
the execution of work where paint is needed,
and its very perceptible renacity, which imparts
beauty and durability to the objects on which it
is used. AS such I most earnestly recommend
it to the merchants and tradesman of our city,
believing that it will give them greater satisfac-
ton than they can possibly anticipate.

consequence and is no ground for discrediting

belongs the chief honor of precipitating the
party in Maine to the support of Mr.. Gree
ley, when the vote shows that but little over
half OF the party strength was accorded him

In VIEW of the strenuous opposition Of
certain class Of patriotic individuals known as
office-scekers to civil service reform, cynical
reforner suggests the following solution of the
pending difficulty: Amend the constitution so
thata appointment to Office shall be as imper-
alive as draft in time of war; and in addition
to this, let Congress establish score of foreign
missions in country where it will be impossi-
BILE for ahuman being to live more than sixty
days, to which class of not over modest pa
triots shall be appointed SO industr1ousiy aS
constantly to keep the positions filed. GreAs ~
is the devotion of this class and mdelauSaoie
as it is, this curious reformcr is confident that
year of practical trial of his scheme would
so cool its patriotic aIdor that there would be
little determined opposition to real civil ser
vice reform at the end of that time.
