class city shops and conviction that, by do
ding, we woad merit and obtain large share of
shat class of work. which has not heretofore been
undertaken in this section, but which had to be
brought from the cities The result has proved
the reasonableness of expectations, and en-
.courages US to press forward with renewed ener-
gy aud with ever increasing and charging ia
cilities
We invite an inspection of our shops by those
contemplating the purchase Of machinery.
We endeavor to make all purchases for
cash, and having limited amount of capital, we
are consequently compelled TO require cash or

for there were pillarcd halls and cloisters
Of emerald and pearl, where fountains
sprang aloft in the silent noon and along
luminous visias, where, hand in hand,
these two lovers walked in the sinless
beauty. Then there were pinnacles and
domes of sapphire, blazing in the sunlight
by day, and glitte ring in the starlight
by night From court and terrace, wa

Mr.. wilIoughby Aspen was a young

How Graphic Pictures are Made.

A correspondent Of the Boston Tran.
script describes a visi, to the GTorhie es-
.ablishment. The art department, in
which exists the peculiar exeellcnce of
the Graphic, is especially worthy Of note.
Of this the writer says; ''SOme of the
sketches that appear in the Graphic are
frstdrawn by hand on paper with pen
and ink. They are finished up just as
they are to appear in the paper. The
sketch is then copied upon a glass plate
through the instrumentslity Of camera.
This plate is called negative, and from
it, by the aid Of the sun, or a powerful
artificial light, a copy of tho picture is
obtained on transfer paper. The transfer
paper is very thin, and so made that 1t
il will readily yield ink to the liihogra-
rhic stone. After having been properly
prepared, the transfer paper is placed
: face down upon the stone, from which the
Graphic is to be printed, and transfer
is made. The result is, the picture which
was originally drawn with pen, appears
upon the surface Of the photographic stone,
: and is an exact fac simile of the original
y 1t looks as if printed on the stone, and tc
g all inients and purposes is so printed ii
n what is known as lithogrnphic ink. Th'
transfer, a, all photographers know. j
made in a hand press. Thus it will b
seen that the cngravcr's tool has Seen en-
tirely dispensed with. Having once GO
copy Of the picture, the rest Of the Pre-
- ces is mechanical. The whole outside {
' the Graphic or that part which is illnstr'
ted. is printed from lithographic stor
as large as the newspaper. The lctte
press is Autographed as we'll as the pi
lures, by the aid Of the camera and Il
- ~ transfer process. The stone is placed in
: Aa,.bed steam press, and printed from c
acily as if it was so much type with th
difference the surface of the stone
:. perfectly smooth, the ink from the role
:, adhering only te the linked surface OF t
: stones, which represents the pictures a
,, type. The blank spaces of the stor
:, appear white on the paper, arc Kept "
=, by boys who sponge over the surface Il
p prevents the ink from sticking, and the
-, suit is exactly as if the paper had be
