K An Experimental friend of ours from
Carroll twp, brought into the Office a few
days since, somo apples which he had
placed under about two feet of snow in the
early part of February, leaving about to 5
inches of snow beneath the apples. When
the snow had melted away so that the
apples could be seen they were found to be
in excellent condition, and did not seem to
have been touched by the frost. In fact
we never eat apples that tasted better.

A New Era in journalism.
THE GREAT ACHIEVEMENT OF THE NINE
TEENTH CENTURY. M
1.-THE DAILY GRAPHIC!"
ALL THE newsstand FULL OF PICTURES.

THE DAILY GRAPHIC is the title of
newspaper, published in New York, which is
achieving the most remarkable journalistic
success ever chronicled. 1t is an eight-pape
evening paper (three editions daily, elegantly
printed, and conducted by the ablest editorial
talent attainable. rrIfr ra.,tf ",
As newspaper, THE DAILY GRAPHIC
stands In the first rank, and contains regularly,
THE VERY LATEST AND FULLEST NEWS
FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.
Its great feature consists in the fact that 1t is
not only newspaper, but an illustrated News
paper as WE'LL Four of its pages are filled
with choice reading matter--telegrams, edito-
rials, general and local news, items, gossip,
and correspondence on the freshest and most
interesting topics. The remaining four pages
consist of SPLENDID ILLUSTRATIONS ex-
ecuted in the most faultless and artistic style,
and portraying accurately and fully all leading
events within twenty-four hours after their oc-
currence. Those who have made journalism
study, and fully appreciate the great enterprise
manifested in the collection and publication of
news by the aid of the telegraph, steam presses,
and the development of journalistic talent, have
been fond of advancing the theory that the next
advance In that field would result in news
paper furnishing In Its regular issues, pictures
OF all the current prominent events. The theo-
ry Is theory no longer the newspaper of the
future is the newspaper of to-day, and that pa
per Is THE DAILY GRAPHIC. The processes
which render this marvellous achievement an
existing fact are the result of the most careful
study and an endless variety of experiments,
gradually perfected during the past twelve
years. The depend upon improvements in lth-
ography and the application Of the photograph
ic camera. BY their aid picture is engraved
and made ready TO print in from twenty minutes
TO two hours. Costly and elaborate plates,
works of art, scenes Of interest, are reproduced
and pictured forth with equal facility and the
most scrupulous fidelity. Illustrations of lead
events are engraved and prepared for the press
even before the accompanying written narra-
tive or description leaves the hands of the COM
postor.
For the proper practical working Of so great
an enterprise, THE GRAPHIC COMPANY

that not even an intimatiOn can be given OF

certainty that the prospect is not SO favorable
for an adjustment of the Eirginus difficulty as
several days ago.
'"rhere we're grounds for believing the report
that the Spanish cabinet had agreed TO surren-
der that vessel, predicatei mainly on PROBES
sions of amity. ard expressions of willingness
on the part Of the Castelar, cabiret to do every,
thing compatible with houor, in satisfaction CT
the wishes of the United States, and also from
the friendly assurances of Admiral Polo, the
Spanish minister, and hisac,ion in the premises.
