BEAUTIFUL PICTURES,

We have received from the Fine Art
Publishing house of George Stinson &
Co., Portland, Maine, several pictures
recently published by them. The sub
jects, as works Of high art, deserve the
highest praise. Stinson & Co. were
among the pioneers in the Fine Art
publishing business in this country land
year by year their business has grown,
until at the present time it has assum-
ed colossal proportions.
A short time since they published a
chrome that had a run of over one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
copies. The weight of them unmount-
ed was over nine tons. In the selec-
ton of subjects, Stinson & Co. show
correct judgment of the public taste,
which natural talent, aided by long
experience, alone can give. They
publish every description of fine works
of Art, from chrome to photograph
from fine Crayon drawing to the
most elegant Steel Engraving.
They bring into service the skill of
the most talented artists.
Messrs. Stinson & Co. are at present
in want of a large number of new
agents, to whom they offer the most
liberal inducement, headed, ITO the
Working Glass; in our advertising
columns.

HOW TO DESTROY sTUMPg.

In the Autumn bore hole one. or
two inches in diameter according to
the girth of the stump, vertically in the
center of the latter and about eighteen
inches deep. Put into it one or two
ounces of saltpetre, fill the hole with
water and plug up close. In the Spring
take out the plug and pour in about
one-half gill of kerosene and ignite it.
The stump will shoulder away without
blazing, to the very extremity of the
roots, leaving nothing but ashes. >

TO THE BABY.

Funny thing a baby is,
Curious little creature
Funny is its little phiz,
Comic every feature.
Helpless thing a baby is;
Tiny hands uplifting
Der the troubled tide of life
Into which tbs drifting.
Mystery a baby is
Memories of heaven
Still must hover in the soul
Such a short time given.
Solemn thing a baby is,
iSince it must inherit
All the loss and gain of life,
All the sin and merit.
Funny, helpless, mystic, sad
Let me tell you, Freddy,
Hall the good and sweet or lie
Is the getting ready.
Yours the sunshine-take it all
While you're weak and tiny;
By-and-by the days that come
May not be so shiny.

The MOurnerS We're Few

From the Albany Evening Journal, january 3.
The departure of the late Governor
Tilden from the capital foreshadowed,
in melancholy way, how he and all
his aspirations
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
When Governor Hoffman left the capi-
tai he was attended to the depot by a
vast throng and by every evidence of
the regard in which he was held.
When Governor Dix retired there was
similar demonstration, and hosts of
friends mingled their regrets with their
cheers. In the case of Governor Til
den two or three personal friends and
a few boys witnessed the departure.
Without wishing to be ungracious, the
contrast could not fail to be noticed.
The Pennsylvania Railroad does
what every railroad in the country
ought to do, but what we fear but few
really do-has Spring and Fall in
spection Of every bridge on the road.
The Chief Engineer visits them all
himself, descends into the structure,
carefully inspecting every portion of
the bridge, and every defect, where
one exists, is at once thoroughly
remedied.

President and Vice-President have
agreed upon areport. Senator Morton
and a Democratic Representative OBJ
ject to the bill. The bill provides for
each House appointing number
believed to be fve-to act with five
members of the Supreme Court to be
appointed, and that the tribunal thus
constituted shall decide all questions
as to the election according to the con-
stitution, and laws in accordance there
with. Its passage is doubtful.

And so let us reason together.
You remember, that just previous
to the last Presidential election, you,
with evident self graduation, stated
that you voted for Mcclellan for
President, (who ran on reasonable
platform, and for severed Union, and
a Rebellion successfully in 1864, and in
vehement speech, you also stated in
substance, that Grants administration
was the most corrupt that ever filled
Office, and that he personally, had
feathered his nest out of the public
chest, and by official peculation, and
you made the clinching statement, else
chow could he, who entered office,
comparatively poor, now be possessed
of half a million of dollarsp'
You must recollect that your aston
lshed auditor asked how could these
things be, and so we'll authenticated by
you, when over twenty democratic
committees last winter sat weary
months, and at great expense to the
nation, investigating President Grant
and his administration, and with parti-
san hate nosing for corruption, even in
their own filth, turpitude and malice,
unearthed but Belknap only, and not
spot was found to tarnish the fair char
acter or escutcheon of General Grant.
and notwithstanding your slanderous
speeches of him, your auditor declared
that he still believed that Grant was as
honest and upright man in all things

PRoF.TYNpALL,s WARNINa,.

In concluding the address at University Col
lege Uondon) Prof. Tyndall who is unquestion
ably one of the most indefatigable brain workers
of our century, said, ''take care of your health.
Imagine Hercules as oarsman in rotten boat; !;
what can he do there but by the very force of
his stroke expedite the ruin Of his craft. Take
care of the timbers of your boat" The distin-
guished scientists advice is equally valuable to
all rorkers. We are apt to deyote all Our ener-
gies to welding the oars, our strokes fall firm
and fast, but few of us examine or even think of
the condition Of our boats until the broken or
rotten timbers suddenly give way, and We find
ourselves the victims Of . calamity whcl, could
have been easily avoided by little foret thought.
even q careless exposure to disorganizing inhu-
ences ends in the complete wreck of the life
boat. The disease which began with . slight
headache or an undue exposure to cold termi-
mates in death, unless its progress lie checked,
and the disease remedied. The FIRST symptoms,
the heralds of disease, give no indication Of the
strength Of the on-coming foe, and the victim
trusts that his old ally, Nature will exterminate
the invader But Disease is an old General, aud
accomplishes his most important movements in
the night time, and some bright morning finds
him in possession of one Of the strongest fortifi
cations and when he has once gained . strong
bold in the system, Nature ignominously turns
traitor and secretly delivers up the whole physi
cal armory to the invader. Like the willy poll
tician, Nature is always OH the strongest side,
keep your vital powers in the ascendant. Keep
your strongest forts-the stomach and liver
we'll guarded. Do not let the foe enter the arte-
rial highways, for he will destroy your richest
merchandise and impoverish your kingdom. To
repulse the attacks Of the foe, you can find no
better ammunition than DR.. Pierce's Family Med
ieines. (Fnl directions accompany each pack
age.) His Pleasant Purgative Pellets are espe-
cally effective in defending the stomach and liv-
or. His Golden Medical Discovery for purifying
the blood and arresting coughs aud colds. If you
wish to become familiar with the most approved
system of defense in this warfare, and the histo-
~ of the foes method of invasion, together with
complete instructions for keeping your forces in
martial order in time of peace, you can find no
better manual of these tactics than 'Tho Peo-
ple's Common Sense Medical Adviser" !" by DIR. r.

r Judge Otis held Court just three days last
week. The result viii be seen by the record of
cases disposed of, printed in another column. In
those three days. be got through with more bus-
mess than his predecessor usually accomplished
in term of three or four weeks; and he could
have got through with much more, had not the
lawyers been unprepared, and asked for contin-
uances. He decided nothing by guess; but in
every cases, he gave full and clear statements of
his reasons, which were founded upon principles
Of law, and will serve as guide in all subse-
quent cases involving the same points. The
Judge allows no useless waste of time by the
members Of the bar, but requires them to be
prompt, and to have their papers in proper shape.
The members Of the bar are especially we'll
pleased with him. By the time Judge Otis has
held terms of Court in the several Counties, it
will be pretty universally admitted that the
Chief pursued the right course in the last cam
pagn.

e Scotchman, who has counted them, says
there are 30 900 promises contained in the Bible.
This will disgust the hard money monomauiacs
with the Bible. They want no promises, but de-
mand the real metal. The reason why they op-
pose greenbacks is, because they are promises to
pay. The Christian accepts the promises of the
Bible at par, and has faith in them, even though
be knows he cannot live to see them all fulfilled.
So the patriotic citizen has faith in his Govern
ment, and accepts its promises as legal tender,
even though he may not live to see them redeem
ed in specie. They answer his purpose, and give
him comfort and happiness-he can live by them,
and he feels safe in knowing that they are his.

THE CoUNT.-The Joint Commission has de-
cided Louisiana in favor of Hayes and the vote
of that State has been 80 counted. Frivolous
objections are being made to Electors in other
States, evidently to consume time, but none Of
them will amount to anything until Oregon is
reached, when the final contest will come. It
was proposed, in q Democratic Congressional
caucus, to 20 back on the Commission, refuse to
meet with it again, and elect Tilden by the
House-in short, revolution. This proposition
came from David Dudley Field, TiTden aud
Tweed's lawyer, who was elected by order Of Til
den, to engineer his interest in the count; so
that there is no doubt that the revolutionary
proposition was inspired by Tilden himself But
it was voted down. 1t was opposed by South
ern Democrats generally, who refuse to he
duped into another war by the Northern Demo-
Gratis. The dog is evidently dead.
