ART PUBLIsHING.--Few people are aware
of the wonderful progress that Art has made
in this country during the last quarter of a
century. 1t is but few decades since, that
those who desired to beautify and adorn their
homes were obliged to depend almost entire
" on foreign artists. But such state Of af-
fairs in this age Of progress and improvement
could not last long with the great American
people. Genius from the East to the West,
from the North to the Gulf of Mexico on the
south, answered the demand for beauty, taste
and refinement, and to-day our leading artists
are not surpassed by the leading modern mas
tiers of Art i'll Europe
Great Art publishing establishments have
sprung up and by various processes the finest
and most expensive paintings are reproduced
in all their elegance and beauty, and at price
within the means of the masses. So that no
one need be without the refining influences of
beautiful pictures at home.
Among the progressive leading Art Publish-
ing firms of the country, sss take pleasure in
mentioning George Stinson q Co., Of Portland,
Maine; they were among the first in the bust
ness, and we can only understand the coloss-
al propositions their trade has assumed by re-
Numbering that this is great and mighty
nation Of nearly fifty million people. We cam
not better Illustrate the magnitude of their
business than to state the amount of money
paid by them for postage stamps during the
year 1875; we have the figures direct from the
firm, or we should think there was some mis-
take. They paid for postage stamps during
the year 1876, thirty three thousand one hun
dred and four dollars and ninety-two 1888, 104,-

remembered that only the small orders were
sent by mail, the larger going by express and
freight. George Stinson y Cos. agents are

TWO ADDITIONAL REPoRTs-LEGIsLArIoN ASKED


TELEGRAPH 10 Ink Ihlbl Ne
WAsHINGroN, Nov. 1s.-The Jay Commission ap-
nointed TO investigate the affairs Of the New-York
Cpstom House has submitted to the Secretary Of
the Treasury two additional reports, the fifth and
sixth Of the series.
The fifth report relates principally 10 the methods
NJ conducting business in the Custom House, and
contains suggestions for facilitating the passage Of
entries Under the present system there Is general
scramble of merchants and Custom House brokers
for recognition by the clerks and the entries have to
be carried by the merchant or Custom House broker
from clerk to clerk and from one department of the
Custom House to another causing great waste Of
time and making the corruption Of dishonest clerks
easier than il otherwise would be. The commission
IL understood to suggest that this be changed, and
that the entries, after they are once presented to
Custom House official shall pass in regular order
from one to another, without the personal super
vision Of the merchant OF broker. There seems 10
be no reason why some such system as this
should not be adopted. Accounts and warrants
passing through the Treasury Department have to
receive the signatures sometimes of dozen different
persons but il Is not necessary for those interested
in the business % carry the papers from officer 10
another. " hen an account has once been hled IN
the Department 10 passes regularly from ONCE 70
Office. until the warrant has been issued and the
check OF draft signed.
The sixth report. which reached the Department
Yesterday. contained SUGGESTIONS of legislation
deemed necessary bv the commission for carrying
out the reforms which have been suggested in It's
former reports TINS has not set been examined by
the secretary Of the treasury and until he has h1l
an opportunity TO look 1t over, 1t will not be given
