'SUCCEssETL STOCK OPERATIONS. -
The banking house Of Messrs. Lawrence
4 Co., No. 81 Exchange Place, near the
New Y ork Stock Exchange, has recently
inaugurated a system of operating 10 the
Stocks dealt in at the Board shat gives
great satisfaction to their customers, and
is the most successful Of any plan ever
adopted, The reports Of fabulous profits
realized to numerous parties by this plan
during the late continued activity in the
Stock Market. has led US to investigate
the matter closely. Prominent members
OF the Stock Exchange state that the
system is based on correct and safe bust
ness principles, and is the only method by
| which large operators attain their greatest
success, The plan is simply one of pooling
or combining the orders of thousands of
customers and operating them on one
mighty e0ltoIe. This places the pool on an
equality in every respect with the leaders
of the street, such as Vanderbilt, Sage,
Keene, Gould and others Whoever
knows anything of the way things 60 in
Wall street is aware that the big opera
tors who can command unlimited capital
are able to raise or depress the marked
at any time, by large pur-
chases or sales in such manner as
to secure immense profits, Lawrence &
Co., by the com bination method, are able
to accomplish the same results, and can
bull or bear the market in the interest OF
their customers. As their whole interest
lies IN the commissions made out of the
business, they naturally wish to make their
operations aggregate as largely as posi-
BILE. The unceasing activity of the aver
age American citizen always has. and al
ways will, lead bin to buy aud sell and
trade whenever aud wherever he can see a
reasonable prospect of making profit
While we do not recommend any one to
rush bllpdEy into speculation, We believe
the method of Lawrence & Co. to be the
most safe and successful of any that can
be found for people who are lot them
selves millionaires, bat wish to become so.
Any sum from $40 to $4,000 can be
placed with this firm. and will be entered
IN the pool forming at the time, and profits
divided pro rata to each customer every
thirty days. New pools are formed every
day or two, The firm will send their COM
prehensive circular, giving full details, to
any applicant.

John Rogers the Sculptor.

Possibly no one has done more to give
America high place in arts than John
Rogers, and it can truthfully be said that
some of his works have won an enviable
place along with the old masters IN stat
uary. Some Of Rogers groups have been
pronounced by severest critics as the best
ever produced 10 America. His Wash.
ington", Before the Parson", The Fa-
vored Scholar, have each in turn been
very favorably received, but his latest and
decidedly his best is THE Photographic"
which is representation SO lifelike, 60
true to nature and so admirably portrayed
as to enforce admiration. The group. OF
pair, represents a photographer in
the act Of taking picture of baby
The little fellow is pilIowed against his
mothers breast and to attract the little
ones attention a jumping jack is placed
on the instrument. The pleased expires
sion of the young mother, the look of in
terest of the child and the thoughtful ex
preston of the artist, are so cleverly
drawn as to almost cause one to imagine
the picture is a reality. 1t is fine worI
of art and must of its own merit add frest
laurels to the already enviable reputation o
the greatest of American sculptors. On
point in Rogers works is the absence o
anything overdrawn. There is no attemp
to overreach, no effort to picture impossi
bles, but only a clear, we'll defined copy
from nature This has won the artist hi,
laureIs, the conclusion invariably arrived
at by those who see bis works, is ''Hov
true picture" How lifelike," 1t seem
so real" No higher tribute to the geniu
of Americas sculptor could be paid; i
places him in the front rank of his calling
profession to which he is devotedl
attached, and which has won him tn
well-merited homage of Americans an
the envy of foreign talent THE Photo

Office, and we feel confident that the d.

Ease Attainable by the Rheumatic.

Yes, although they may despair of re :

for there is remedy which carries of, by
means ofincreased activity Of the kidneys
important channels for blood purifca

ogists the most eminent attribute the pain
ful symptoms-a theory completely borne
out by urinary analysis. The name of this
grand depurent is Hostetter's Bitters, a
preparation likewise celebrated as a RENE
dy for constipation, which causes contain
ination of the blood with the bile--and a
certain means of relief in dyspepsia, fever
and ague, and nervous ailments. It is,
perhaps, the finest tonic extant, and is
highly recommended as a medicinal stimu-
liant by distinguished physicians and anal
ysts who pronounce it to be emineDtly pure
and very beneficial. The press also en-
dorses it.

Ammonia Versus Malaria.

The Augusta (Ga J Chronical says !;
" The Georgia Chemical Works, which
are OF very extensive character and
manufactures annually large quantities of
commercial fertilizers, are situated in
the southern suburbs of the city on
South Boundary Street This portion
Of the city is low and damp, and the
people living here have always been sub
ect to chlls and fever and other mala-
rial diseases. We say had been subject,
for Yesterday morning Mr.. Lowe, of the
chemical works, informed us that the
works had exterminated malaria in their
neighborhood. He contended that since
the company commenced operations it
had routed chills, etc, and that persons
living rear there who once suffered a
great deal, suffer now on South Boun
dairy no more The effect of the works
on the health of the country adjacent
had been as marked as it had beneficial.
There could be no doubt as to the cause
of the change, A practical test had
been applied in the buildings of the
company. Men had been employed
there who were ague-shaken and fever
fired, but who in a comoaratively short
time were entirely relieved Of the com
pamonship, Of their ma!arial friend. The
theory is that ammonia does the bust
