THE FAMILY PICTURE.
McKecknie & Thompson, Every
where Embellishing Homes with
Brilliant Works of Art.

6I1lllduL w OIhb OF AHk.
UnquestiOnably there is no adornmslt tc
the household possessing greater interest, OF
that is more highly priced, than the faithful
picture of "loVed ones at home." Whether il
be the familiar face of a loving mother-the
more stern expression of devoted father
the amiable countenance Of little brother OF
sister, or yet the careworn patriarchal phil
Of defunct grandsire-there is su affection
encircling the artists efforts with more than s
magic spell. Nor does this tender sense alone
confne itself to the few Of refined feelings, for
all, even to the roughest diamond from th,
mine of industry
''KnOw that each breast contains heart
That beateth true to some one"
But, hitherto, the coveted prize OF a faithful
picture of that ''some one," or more, has been
only the indulgence Of the wealthy few, unit
recently, when the above eminent firm came
DObly forward with abundant talent and sac
rifced it at the shrine of philanthropy by Of
fering the most beautiful portraits-almost
life size-in any style within the limited in
come of almost the humbest in circumstances
Samples of these lovely pictures-faithful to a
fault-soft and yet sharp in effect-have Sc
cured the highest awards and strongest CON-
mendations at several of the local agricultural
gatherings this fall. Many persons from far
distant points have sat for, and taken away
with them, "famiiy picture" only to return
hasty request to have pit duplicated, while
Norwalk, Sandusky and even Fremont alike
exult over these brilliant gems. The latter
city has been frequently visited by Mr..
Thompson, and many of our citizens have
made his personal acquaintance, resulting in
no fewer than a score of these beautiful family
pictures being completed or under way for
Fremont families.
Mr.. c. o. Thompson, as a crayon, ink and
oil artist, and Mr.. McKecknie as an accom-
plished photographer, are certainly alike an
immense success, and form a combination of
talent, in their line, at once highly eompli-
mentary to Toledo, and but rarely equalled in
this or surrounding States. The "family pie
turo" is a novelty, and a speciality of which
any firm have just reasons to be proud-it is
large and peculiarly effective, while it is
adapted equally to any class of home. Mr.. E.
L. Cross and Mr.. MoCULLooH, of this city,
have usually specimens on view, and from
them any further information may be OBJ
tanned or interviews with Nr. Thompson Sc
cured. We may also remark, we believe it to
be in contemplation by Messrs. McKecknie q
Thompson shortly to establish a portrait club,
in view to making the famous 'family pic
ture" even still more popular among the
humber classes. OF this We purpose hereaf-
ter giving detailed account, in the meantime
wishing them unbounded success in their
worthy efforts.

SABBATH PLrAsUREs.-One Of Selkirk's
chief sorrows in his lonely Isle was, ac-
cording to the familiar song which Cowper
puts into bis mouth, that 1.-THE sound Of the
church-going bell these valleys and rocks
never heard, never sighed at the sound of
knell, or smiled when Sabbath appear
ed" But the Scotch or the Yankee lad Of
n generation back would have consented
TO pass few Sundays on Juan Fernandez
without murmur. Indeed, under the
rigorous treadmill then in vogle, IL is no
wonder that custom grew mp that still
subsists in many families, particularly in
those to whom Sunday is a tiresome day,
of cutting it short at both ends by rising
later and going 10 bed earlier than on other
days. This practice. handed down from
the olden time, is token of what tie day
bad become through the mistaken gloom
fastened upon il. The reluctance to begin
and eagerness to end Sunday are now less
often found aud 1t is partly due TO wise
and courageous ccrgymen that the old
irksomeness has been cast OIL, and that ac-
cordingly the day is likely TO remain hal
lowed in our country by common consent.
In its modern phase we have a right 10 per-
petuate its benefits by the aid of the laws

LEAD PIPES AND WATER SUPPLY. The
question whether water is poisoned by
flowing through lead pipes was lately dis
cussed in the French academy of sciences,
with results that are calculated to quiet the
apprehensons OF those who get their wa
ter supply through such pipes. NJ. Dumas
stated that in his chemical lectures he had
long been accustomed to employ a very
simple experiment for the purpose of show
ing that water corrodes lead only under
special conditions. lie takes distilled wa
ter, rain water, spring water, river water,
ETC., and drops into each pieces of lead. 1t
is found that only the distilled water acts
on the lead, the salts OF lime in the rest Of
the specimens preventing the reaction. NJ.
Belgrand read TO the academy a memoir
giving the results of his Investigations in
to this subject. The ancient Romans en-
ployed lead wafer pipes on large scale,
but yet no Latin medical writer says any
thing of lead poisoning produced by thu
water. According TO NJ. Belgrand, one
sixth Of grain of calcareous salts 10 the
quart prevents the dissolution of the lead.
He exhibited TO the academy pieces of lead
pipes which had been In service from tho
time Of Louis XVI. without showing any
sign of corrosion and analysis of water
that had passed through long line of lead
pipes showed the complete absence Of cad.

WHY FARMING Don't PAY.-Al re-
cent meeting of the Vermont Board of Ag-
riculture an address was made by G. r.
Drew, of North Danyille, upon "Why
Farming does not Pay" Mr.. Drew said
he believed when farm does not pay that
1t is because the farmer does not attend 10
his business. There is no business that is
neglected and abused as farming. II farm
ers will attend 10 their business il will paw.
In neighborhood of fifty farmers, twenty
five of them are attending more or less TO
other business and neglecting their farms.
Some are leaning, some tbreshing, and
others saving wood, others peddIing and
others are doing other things, when they
ought 10 be attending 10 their fences, maxi
ing sugar, killing weeds, or cnllivating
their crops. And so it goes, the whole sea-
son through. They keep teams they don't
need, aud spoil good one every little
while, drawing wood. Meantime their cat
tie are neglected, and everything else that
ought to be attended to. OF the other twen-
ty-five only five are reall.y' active, careful
farmers, and these are doing well aad are
satisfied. The other twenty are drones,
they don't do outside work, nor much 9TH
err work. Their heiiers never come 20
cows, because they never get feed, care and
shelter necessary 10 make milch COW.
These men declare that farming don't pay.
The five good farmers are all well satisfied
with thoir business and know II gives bet
ter returns for labor than other business.
Some farmers so into speculation. The
boy that buys a colt and makes 800 on him
is usually ruined, and so with all farmers
that speculate. Bad luck to begin with is
tho best luck that can happen TO them, If
1t sickens them of specializing. We keep
too many horses and too few oxen. On a
small farm oxen are far preferable. Some
keep so many horses that they can't keep
any other stock, and their manure is
scattered up and down the road. Don't
Dny scrub stock, and don't keep an animal
after you are satisfied it is not going TO be
profitable.

That new and most important geyser
basin has been discovered in Eastern Mon
tana seems now unquestionable. 1t was
visited last by the well known noun
taineers Jack Baronett, John Dunn and
John Allen. 1t Is represented as much
more extensive than any OF the already ex-
Piore0 basins, and to contain geysers of
much greater force and volume than any
yet described by tourists. One of these
newly discovered geysers is estimated 10
throw volume of water forty leet in diam
eter over five hundred feet high, and 10
continue in eruption from ten to fifteen
minutes. 1t is also reported that in this
newly discovered basin there are "mud
volcanoes" lar surprising in volume and
eruptive force those on the Upper Yellow
stone. This unexplored spot OF the most
wonderful of all our natural wonders is
about twenty-five miles southeast of the
summit of Mount Washburn, from which
point the greater geySers, when in action,
when the air is clear, are visible TO the
naked eye.-AVdnt Courier.

This year the Republicans, by not vot-
ing so we'll as usual, and the Temperance
men, by voting little better than usual,
agreed TO give the elections over into Dem
ocratic hands. This is the whole story. No
one can point to reason for any greater
popularity of the Democratic party at this
time. On questions of finance there Is no
evidence of superior soundness among the
people while as 10 general political puri-
~, the Credit Mobilier, salary grab and
other records attest 10 no superiority ON
that side. Hence the Democratic jubila-
tlons over their prospective return TO pow
er are wholly premature and without foun-
ddtion. 1t Is probably true, however, that
a continuance of Republican misnlanage-
ment or OF Republican discomfort or apathy
will make the present reverses of the party
permanent, and the difference between
that state of things and Democratic reac-
ton will not be of much practical conse-
quence. Boston Journal.
