The statement of the National Democrat
that we have been getting up a how'll
about the State Printing will be news to
those who peruse our columns daily. All
the bowling which has been done about
the State printing has come from the office
of f. f. Pillsbury & Co. They have not
only howled but have beseiged the legisla-
ture, in season and out of season. for State
printing, and in their rapacity have caused
their friends to violate the contract which
the State has with us. They accuse us of
divers offences-of threatening others who
might wish to compete for the State print
ing-of plundering the treasury-of bull
doing our workmen-and last and most
heinous of all, charge us with offering to
do the printing for rates lower than they
can afford to do it. We deny all these and
several except the last, and that ought
to be no offence in the eyes of legisla-
ture pledged to economy in expenditures.

ONE OF THE OLD MASTERS.

scene from the hand of one of the oldest and
most accomplished of ''thc old masters. "
Like the works of Raphael and Angelo, his
works all have point of resemblance, or
"manneri.m," in technical language. They
are figure pieces-kings. philosophers. poets,
peasants, paupers-every phase Of human
life has occupied the genius of his pencil.
Palaces and novels alike have formed the
background for his wonderful portrayals.
"The dying mother" leaving rs legacy to
her loved ones, her new born babe, is one of
his most pathetic pieces" The name of this
artist is Disease. Scarcely home in all this
land that has not one of his pictures hanging
in some of its rooms, invisible to the stranger
perhaps, but to its inmates distinct as il
painted but yesterday. He has dreaded
assistant tn whom he often contides the fin
ishing' of his pictures-Dcath. If you would
prevent Disease from placing one of his fatal
shadow pictures" in your home, you must
take the requisite precautions to prevent his
entrance. At the first sign of his approach
general debility, sleeplcssness or habitual
drowsiness, loss of appetite, impaired appc-
tite, constipation, unusual pallor, cough, night
sweats, headache, or ausea,-mcasures for
relief should be promptly taken. The sys-

DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgatve Pellets. which are ac-
knowledged to be the best Alternative, or blood
cleansing, and cathartic remedies ever before

system and impart to it healthful, vigorous
tone.
