Political Notes.

The New York Times says in relation to
candidates for the Legislature: "A sale rule
to follow is-to take as candidates only those
who are not anxious to be such; the more
man wants this trust, and the harder he works
to get it, the less, as general thing, he is fit
ted for it,
The Cincinnati Commercial, the organ of
the Liberals of Ohio, wants a candidate for
Governor entirely unknown to politics, and
not troubled with record. In view of the
farmers movement, it further says that the
Liberal candidate must be ga cultivator OF
beef and bacon, beans and buckwheat, cows
and corn, cabbages and cucumbers, with a
strong smell of the soil in his blouse and
the fragrance of barn-yards in his boots"
This compliment is evidently intended 10

CART TREASURES OF GERMANY.''-A collec-

the most celebrated masters and biographical
sketches, by A. Goring, DIR. Meyer and Prof.
d. A Wotmann, author of "Holbein and his

Issued in thirty numbers, each containing
four engravings from the most celebrated pic
lures and one portrait; one hundred and twenty
masterpieces therefore, in all, for fifteen dol
lars, with biographies and criticisms included.
'Sold to subscribers only"
What lucifer matches are to the old flint and
steel contrivances; or postal cards to the price
we used to pay for letters, or telegraph to pack
etships, railways to turnpikes and mail-coaches
and photographs to costly miniatures, which
after all, were oftentimes no truer in features
or expression, are these wonderful engravings
at taoelye cents piece; treasury indeed, and
worthy of a place in all our cabinets and libra
ries, whether public or private.
Some of these landscapes and groups are pic
lures of themselves, with all the leading char
acteristics of a painting, light and shadow, ar
rangement and expression and where we can
not have the original at any price, though we
should offer kings ransom for it, nor afford
to pay for decent copy, still we may have
what is far better than a feeble or untrue copy
of these great masterpieces for the merest trife.
and gloat over them at our leisure with our
children about us and our neighbors leafing over
the collection, as if they had got among the
crown jewels in the Tower of London, or into

goes about laden with precious stones, and scat
tering his glories more extravagantly than did

But enough Our friends who cannot INDULGE
in great libraries costly collections, or mag
nifceEt pictures, may satisfy some of their
longings by subscribing for this ART TREAsU-
RY, without delay.
About one half the numbers are now before
me, and if the others are equal to this-apd
they cannot well be superior-f shall have some
thing more to say.
The letter press, too, and the sketches and
criticisms are worthy of high praise, ami must
not be overlooked in our enthusiasm for the en-
cravings. j. NEAL.
