Such sight as the house of Lords was

noblemen's minds is as empty as poor-box,
as deserted as theatre by daylight. In its
brilliant moments as many as eighty peers
may be found doing penance for their IN
herited rights. Last night beheld miracle.
The strangers, gallery was filled, no end of
peeresses occupied tloir regularly vacant
seats, and the floor was what under the
circumstances we may call a scene Of wild
excitement No fewer than 2SS peers of the
realm were assembled. If hadn't known

LOUIsvILLE COURIER-JOURNAL

Is determined that its Forty-sixth year
shall more than maintain its supremacy
as the great newspaper of the West and
South.
The CoURIER-JoURSAL combines the
experience. ability and material resources
of three old.time Louisville newspapers
of national repute-the Louisville Courts
er, Louisville Journal and Louisville
Democrat-and is fortified in the respect
and con fidence resulting from nearly half
a century of their individual and COM
bined success. Its thoroughly independ~
ent Democratic position will be fully
maintained, and all its departments will
be most carefully prepared. II gives, in
the course of year, several attractive
serial novels, romances, &c, written ex-
pressly for it's columns; its telegraphic
summary faithfully reflects all the news
of the world; able special correspondents
write from all the great capitals; the
financial and commercial reports are CO.
Pious and trustworthy; the agricultural
department is becoming more and more
complete and interesting; the Patrons OF
Husbandry have in the CoURIER-JoURSAL
the advantage Of a great newspaper; pub
lished in the city of their National Head
quarters, with a grange department writ
ten by member of the order, whose de-
votion, ability and prudence are univer-
sally acknowledged; wit, satire, gossip
and photographic pungency are represent
ed in many varied departments.
The CoURlER-JoURNAL is submitted TO
the people as embracing a combination of
all the conservative elements which have
Joined Lands over the altar of the Con-
stitution in forming a great, national,
Democratic party. 1t is also presented
as the largest, Invest and cheapest news
paper in America No other paper pub
lished in the South OF Southwest can ap-
proach it in these respects.
For the truth of these assertions, the
reader is simply requested to compare
the CoURIER-JoURNAL, line by line and
column by column, with any other news
paper south Of the Ohio river. ii the re-
suit is not found to leave balance in its
favor, we will not urge the point. Our
aim is to produce the best article on the
market and TO sell it cheapest The
law Of trade applies not less to neuspa-
pers than to other articles of everyday
life. We look to the unvarying rule Of
this great common law for our success -
By giving the public the largest, Invest,
fullest, freshest, cheapest and most rep
resentative press. the CoURIER-JoURNAL
expects to snrpass all rivalry in circula>
tion and influence.

as style of delivery, are rarely equaled
by any one. His first lecture, giving
his personal experience, was perfectly

awfully solemn in facts. His very
