Profitable Stock Investments.

Before Messrs. Lawrence & Co., the New
York Bankers inaugurated the combina-
ton system of operating in stocks, it was
often very difficult for inexperienced ope-
rators, or even old stagers, to deal profita-
bly, by their single handed ventures. Now
the field is open to every one for successful
operations, and capital in any amounts,
from $40 to SIC, 900, can be used with equal
proportionate profit Instead of distract
ing efforts among many customers, the Or
ders of thousands are concentrated into
one vast pool and co-operated for the bene-
fit of all, dividing profits pro rata every
month. A prominent citizen of San Fran
cisco made 81, 264 SO from an investment
of $500 last month. Other customers are
doing better still. $25 pays $l25 during
the month, 5000 returns 81, 200, or 6 per
cent. on the stock, and so OH as the market
moves. New circular contains 1.-TWO un-
erring rules for success" and full instruc-
tions for any one to operate proftably. All
the advantages of unlimited capital and
careful manipulation are secured by the
combination method. Stocks and bonds
wanted. Government bonds supplied.
Deposits received. Apply to Lawrence &
Co., Bankers, 81 Exchange Place, New York

PURE BLUE GRASS MILK.

Your average New Yorker does not
take kindly to cold water farther than
the instinct of personal cleanliness re-
quires its external application. He can
at pinch use drop or two in a whisky
toddy, little in a lemonade with stick
to it, or some Jumps of ice in his cob
bier of sultry summer afternoon; but
to drink the fatulent stuff, your nobby
New Yorker is not there, not by any
manner of means. And now the in
sidious milk man has been endeavoring
clandestinely to smuggle this fluid
into the stomachs of the
innocent and unsuspecting Man
hattanese through the fraudful milk
can; but luckily for the cause of pure
morality, has caught a Tartar-not tar
tar-emetic, which the rascally milk deal
ers evidently merited, but broadside
from a Milk Convention held at Ka-
tonah one day last week. This meeting
was participated in by John Jay, Ex-
Minister to Austria, Joel Marble, father
of Manton Marble, Judge Robbins, Mr..
Strong and others. The latter said that
the Westchester County farmer received
but two cents per quart for his milk, and
could only afford to sell it at this price
by watering it, Others asserted that the
middlemen added more water, and
the retailer followed the fashion
of the farmer and the middlemen,
so that the consumer in New York might
consider himself happy if his Orange or
Winchester County pure milk contained
no more than Is per cent. of water when
it reached his table. What wonder,
therefore, if the outraged New Yorker
breads the horrors of treacherous milk
cans? A few years ago it was the distil-
lery stuff that was vended as the pure
juice of the dairy, and now he sees in his
minds eye animalcula, polly wogs, water
dogs and what not from the pasture ponds
where the supply of lacteal fluid is aug
mented. Our readers will be prepared
to learn, therefore, that society is
to be organized for supplying the
fastidious New York public with una
dulterated milk fresh from the dairy at
moderate prices to the consumer and at
living prices to the farmer, This gives
the citizen of the metropolis an opportu-
nifty, nay, in a measure compels him to
take the generous product of the dairy
straight or be at pains to supply the tad
poles and other ct ceteras of the frog
pond in such variety as his appetite or
fancy suggests.
