Artistic.

A company has been recently organized
in Chicago called the Chicago Photographic
and Copying Company. This company
copies pictures and enlarges them to any
size. most indistinct daguerreotype or
photograph which gives but faint idea of
the subject is taken by this company and
transformed into striking picture and en-
larged to whatever size desired. From the
minutest tintype or smallest photograph
can be made full life-sized picture in oil,
India ink, water colors, crayon or pastel
in the finest style of the Art. These pic
lures are not only much cheaper than the
ordinary oil paintings but it is much in favor
of the system adopted by the company that
it preeludes the necessity of sitting for
picture, generally very slow and ted ious
process OF getting one.
The Chicago Photographic and Copyi NO
Company have delivered some work in the
city which speaks for itself and shows the
great proficiency, taste and good judgment
displayed by the artists. We have in our
mind two splendid pictures which adorn
the residence of General l.. A. Cole, one
beautiful and almost life size, Crayon pic
tare of Mrs. Cole, taken from an old dapner-
reotype, and celored picture of two Of
their children, one of whom, long since
dead, is brought back, as might be said, 10
life again. the picture is so striking and
faithful portrayal of the orig inal. Mr.. s
K. Letter, General Agent for the compap nv.
was in the city the past week attending
TO its business and appointed Mr.. John
Miller local agent for the company for This
city and vicinity to whom all orders for
work can be given.

of the soldiers who fell defending the Re-
public in the late war. The appropriate
ness Of the custom will commend itself to
every one. 1t is at once graceful tribute
to the dead whom we love to honor, and a
pleasing incentive to the living, to emulate
the good Of their example.
|, therefore, recommend that all good
citizens join, that day, in this honorable
ceremony. v bile the carrying out Of this
recommendation, in places where military
organizations at Posts Of the Grand Army
exist, is entrusted more Immediately to

not exist, to the survivors of the late war :,
