Just six cents apiece, and that is all.
They are common Autographs, print
ed in colors and are printed in this
city by the million. Prang of Boston
makes chromss that are really fine,
bat they sell at high price, and new
err get in connection with the Fog
Horns. I say that the "chromos'
hawked about the country as prem
iums for newspapers, cost only six
cents each, and You can buy them by
quantity for even less than that. When
the dodge was not quite as well un.
derstood as now, some of the religious
papers run up enormous circulations
by their use. The woman who took
them was tolerable well pleased with
them till she found the same pictures
on the walls of all her neighbors and
then how many thousands of them
were taken down and quietly con-
signed to the ash barrel Beware OF
the chrome man this Fall, for the ad
vance army are already in the field,
the chrome mills are running to their
full capacity, and the meek-faced
young man is leaving the city, with
the oiI-cloth case ander his arm.
Tweed on the Stand.
An investigating committee had
Tweed on the stand, but they have
not thus far got anything new out OF
him. Every body knew that the city
had been robbed of millions, and
they knew exactly who did it, and
how it was done. Tweed's testimony,
thus far, is only valuable as confess
sion from the leader of the thieves,
with some minor particulars added,
He may make some new disclosures
before they get through with him, but
1t is doubtful. The old man keeps up
wonderfully we'll, and will, if he ever
gets out, make trouble for his enemies.
He is very bitter and desires moth
ing so much as to get chance at
those who deserted him. He does not
blame the citizens, generally, for
what has befallen him-he magnani-
mously forgives them-but to have
shared the plumber with men and then
have them 60 back on him, angers
him. He says it was pleasant read
ing when in Spain, the denunciations
of himself by men who were his part
ners, and who were .living on the
money they stole when with him.
Business
is increasing every day and every
hour. Broadway hasn't looked SO
much like the Broadway of old for
five years. There is the comfortable
old time certainty of being run over,
if you attempt to cross any time from
nine in the morning till six at night
there is the crash and smash of vehi-
cles, and the cursing of drivers, there
is the crash and din of thousands OF
wheels on the stone pavements, there
is the blockade of long lines of street
cars, and the stages apparently in in.
extricable jams-there is, in short
the good old uncomfortable Broadway
of the olden time. More goods are
leaving the city now than at any time
since 1872, and the merchants believe
that the rush will continue till late in
the Winter. May they not be dis
appointed.

In 1873 Gussy Griefstack was not
running a Democratic paper in Grant
County and the Republican majority
was only Sol.
In 1875 Grizzly Gusstack run the
Democratic organ and the Republic
can majority increased to 864.
In 1876 Gussy was still the Demo-
cratic editor and the Republican ma
jority became 1925.
In the Spring of 1877 Grizzly in a
Gusty spell took the whole Demo
cratic party into his office, nominated
the ticket, spread his lengthy legs and
arms for desperate race, poured bot
ties and barrels of Grief and Gush in
to the canvass and the Republican
majority floated up to $500
We have told this before in various
forms but SO far have been unable to
make Gussy Griefstack comprehend
its meaning. Other Democrats ap.
pear to understand it fully and they
tell us, ''For Gods sake, why didn't
you have mercy on us and keep him
in your party when he lately Topped
over 2" But we may have to repeat
it many more times to have the de-
sired effect.

Our Ticket.

Our exchanges use emphatic Ian
guage in expressions of appreciation
of our State ticket. Nearly all of
them think it as good ticket as was
ever offered for the suffrages of Wis
consin voters. 1t is certain that no
Wisconsin ticket ever had better
head, and it may be that w. O..
Whitford, at the other end of the
ticket is just as good a man for the
place he occupies. We do not know
him and we wait for more light be-
fore giving him hearty support. SUI
perintendant Soaring, though not of
the right politics, has made good
officer. We would take him again
before we would wrong man, and
we expect Democrats to be just as
honest and vote for our men when
they are the best men VIM. e.
Smith once lived in and was an office
holder in one of the strongest Demo-
cratic counties is this State. 1t so
happens that that county, though
Democratic, is next to Grant, the
most economical and best governed
county in Wisconsin. We hope
that that good old Democratic coun-
ty will help elect him. Grant County
has two or three hundred men who
have been vexed with the Republic
can party for putting up men whom
they thought of doubtful integrity.
1t these men were honest in their
complaints they should now step to
the lore and show they are our best
Republicans when Republicans do
right. In VIM. E. S it'll we have a
man whom all men capable of judg
ing for themselves kno,0 is right, and
that in office he serves the people and
not hlmselfsLet us, citizens of Grant,
lay aside our prejudices, and choose
a good servant, not an uncertain
master or a tricky Jockey to call
Governor.

To PRESS AUTUMN LEAVES Press
the leaves carefully between newspa-
pers taking care to avoid tapping
one over another. The next day take
out the leaves and dry the papers.
Put the leaves again in press, and the
next day repeat the drying process.
This should be done three or four
times, until the moisture is extracted
from the leaves. This is troublesome,
but the result will be brilliant. If
the face of each lea, after the first press
ing,is brushed over with sulphuric acid
diluted one half with water, the color
will be still brighter. Do not wax or
varpish the leaves, as it gives them
an unnatural gloss. They can be
made into sprays or garlands by
means Of the fine wire which florists
use twisted lightly around their stems.

Greenbackers in Co. with Bankers.
The HERALD two weeks ago, refer
ring to the kind of men who are lead-
ING the Greenbackers said

The HERALD two weeks ago, refer
ring to the kind of men who are lead-
ing the Greenbackers said:
at may surprise some of our readers but it
is our reasonable conviction that the ring lead>
ers in the so>called greenback movement
would be the last men to adopt the measures
they pretend to advocate.
There are men of wealth who do not want
silver remonetized nor bonds to be exchanged
TOR greenbacks. If they can raise $500, 900
TO bring Lloyd from Europe to hoodwink our
Congress they can send out Carys to divide
people who, otherwise, were coming to an in
cvitable result
And last week upon the same sub
ject we said:
"The Greenback party is fraud. The OBJ
iect of its leaders is to make fools of the hon.
est men who honestly believe in the green
back policy, lest by their massing with one OF
the other parties their policy might be made
successful In Iowa we know it to be in the
hands of a set Of graceless scamps."
We supposed such remarks could
apply only to the fellows who are out
of sight, but it is apparent that the
yeomanry of the party will fall into
any arrangement that may be made
very readily. Last week tlhrty-three
Greenbackers assembled in County
Convention in the Courthouse. They
pretend to abhor courts and detest
lawyers, but not content to use the
courtroom like other Conventions
they all went into the lawyers bar.
Then when they went to voting, at
their very first ballot they voted for a
LAWYER. He refused to be candi-
date and then they voted for q
preacher and a "middleman," and
these two are their candidates. Fhat
business done with thGir Chairman
acclaimed with Stentorian voice that
he could not let them go without the
pleasure of informing them that "just
now" while they were nomi mating q
ticket, their leader and candidate for
Governor, Mr.. Allis, was in consulta-
ton with Cat their request) the U. 5.
Bankers Association, they, to the
number of 500 being then assembled
at New York The same evening
the old fraud Harper, of Illinois, who
addressed them told the same fact
with great delight. Yes, friends, you
who are willing to labor for what you
eat and wear and own, TO you we say
in all candor, the Greenback move
ment Is q conspiracy with Wall
Street bankers, railroad monopolists
and revenue thieves to get and keep
you in their power. Beware.

Hon. VIM. L. CARTER declines TO
accept the nomination for Attorney
General. His reasons are that he
did not expect the nomination and is
unprepared to receive it. His bust
ness at present is in shape that he
cannot possibly leave it to make the
canvass which he thinks one in that
position should make. His declina'
ton will be universally regretted.
Papers throughout the State speak of
him in the highest terms. 1t will be
no easy matter to put man in his
place who will be equally strong on
the ticket.
