Few people are aware Of tire wonderful
progress that art has made IN this country
during the last qusrter of a century. 1t
il but a few decades since, that those who
desired to beautiiy and adorn their
homes, were obliged to depend almost en-
tirely on foreign artists. But such a state
Of affairs in this age Of progress and inns
, provement could not last long with the
great American people. Genius from the
East to the West, rom the North TO the
Gulfof Mexico on the soatb, answered the
demand for beauty, taste and refinement,
and to-day our leading artists are not sur
passed by the leading modern masters OF
Art in 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. andat price within the means Of
the masses. SO that no one need be
without the refining influences of beauti>
full pictures at home.
Among the progressive leading Art
Publishing firms OF the country, we take
pleasure in mentioning George Stinson x
Co, of Portland Maine; they were among
the first in the business, and we can only
understand the colossal proportions their
trade has assumed by remembering that
this is great and mighty Nation of nearly
fifty million people. We cannot better
illustrate the magnitude Of their business
than to state the amount of money paid
by them for postage stamps during the
year 1876; we have the figures direct from
the firm or we should think there was
some mistake. They paid for postage
stamps during the year 1916, thirty-three
thousand one hundred and four dollars
and ninetY-two cents (33, l04. 92) and, in
connection with this it should be remem-
bered that only the small orders were
sent by mail, the larger going by express
and freight. George Stinson Il Cos,
agents are to be found in every State in
the Union and Dominion of Canada, and
in every county with scarcely an excep-
ton.
Long since, this entcrprising firm rec
ognized the value of printers ink judi>
ciously used in advertising, and they in
form us that without it they could never
have extended their business as it is to-
day, in three times the number Of years.
A short time since they paid in a single
day twenty-four thousand dollars (S2i,-
000) on a contract for newspaper adver>
Using. They evidently long since found
the. road to success and have neither
turned to the right nor to the left. Three
things are necessary for eminent success
in business. First, standard honest goods
that the people generally need and desire,
let them be best, whatever the line OF
business. Second, let your prices be rea-
sonable-as low as possible. Third, let
the people know what you have, and
what you can do, by liberal and persists
ent advertising, and you will find low
prices. made known and proved, will bring
trade that will give larger income than
can be made in any other way.

A Had Example.
frankfort Yeoman.l

The boys of the country are being
ruined by the mob spirit The boy nat
urally follows the mob. He gets a
glimpse of power and taste of plumber.
He likes to see big fire, to hear the
crack of pistol, and to see a poor
wretch swinging to lamp post These
things are novel and exciting to him.
They educate him. He sees the crowd
do it, and he thinks the people do it.
This is peoples government, and what
the people do must be right. Hundreds
of boys during the late riots took a part
in the unlawful and criminal acts of the
strikers. They caught the infection OF
the mob spirit, and were IN sympathy
with the very worst characters. They
will remember the wild scenes at Pitts
burg. Chicago, and other places, and
some Of these dayr. as veterans, they will
appear to lead other riots and disorders.
What pity il is that such fearful les-
sons are given to the youth OF the coun-
try. The impression is chiseled in and
never departs. Those who saw mobs
successful are hopelessly ruined. The
triumph will never be forgotten.

notice in your issue of 22nd, CON-
munication signed "a Teacher" which
/ think is calculated to create a wrong
impression, and in fact, to do a great
deal Of mischief.
There seems to be considerable misap>
prehension in the minds Of many as to
the design of an institute and the man~
ner of conducting it.
An institute is not designed to teach
arithmetic, grammar nor any other
branch, but to. improve those who
are already sufficiently acquainted with
the matter, in their manner Of imparting
that knowledge to others. Therefore a
lecture before an institute or any other
subject than show to teach, is time mis-
appropriated and wasted.

ed. The teachers were frequently urged
both by the lecturers and commissioner
to discuss, but owing tn their Unborn

Let the teachers attend every institute

BradIey's Extraordinary Vote.
ALBANY Argus.1

l"SHy hiBesJ
The exposure by the New York Sun Of
the way in which Bradley the unjust
Judge, turned from right to wrong be-
tween dusk and dawn, on counting the
vote Of Florida. has only confirmed in
the peoples mind what every body be-
lieved before No one has thought for a
moment that the famous-or infamous
eight decided honestly in behalf Of Hayes.
The pretence that there was even a SEM
blance Of right to his claim is preposter-
GUS. The corrupt carpet-baggers at the
South, the Inscriptions leaders who had
managed the Republican campaign, the
desperate railroad and subsidy jobbers
who infest Washington, combined to
keep Mr.. Tilden out of the Office to
which he was rightiully entitled; and to
do this, after the preparation Of crime
upon crime, they obtained Brailsys vote
by the most extraordinary means. Brad
ley is the Judge who astonished Chief
Justice Chase by turning the property Of
the Memphis FL Paso road over to the
Texas Pacific; and his record altogether
is 50 odious as to corroborate the state
ment that these jobbers thrOnged the
house until they induced a change Of an
opinion written in behalfof Tilden to one
for Hayes.
There must have been some strong
reason impelling the terrOr-stricken
thieves to this course. Was it only the
fear of Tilden1 Did they simply count
upon the negative favor of Hayes, or did
they expect him not only to prosecute them
but entirely to favor new schems Of rob
nery1 At least, they have escaped the
scratches exposures which would have
followed Tilden's Inauguration. What
the future will secure for them remains
to be seen.
