Another Assailant of the Court,

Mr.. EDIToR:-I see that Joseph Bolduc has
a poor opinion of the Supreme. Court. Mr..
Bolduc took it into his head that certain prop
erty belonging to Mr.. Norris of Bradley in
this state ought, communisticly speaking, to
be shared by him, and accordingly without any
respect for the court he murdered Mr.. Norris
in cold blood. He was arraigned before Judge
Peters and plead guilty. The Judge no hav
ing due regard for his communstic principles,
told him in plain language, (for Judge Peters
will talk plain) that he had committed cold
blooded murder and sent him to state prison
for life. Mr.. Bolduc feels aggrieved and
thinks that somebody has slandered him by
connecting his name with other transactions
of like communistic nature in that vicinity
Whether Mr.. Bolduc will attack the court
has not TRANSFERRED, but no doubt he holds his
Honor, Judge Peters, in great contempt, and
in the long years to come will dance Ute war
dances in his cell and utter curses upon his OPP
pressors. The Argus and Maine Standard
with the Chronicle should be furnished the
gentleman at once in order to enable him to
take lessons. JUSTICE.

STEEL ENGRAVING,
Splendid Work Done by Portland Boy.

Splendid Work Done by Portland Boy.
Probably the art of no one country has had
such an influence on the general art of today
as that OF Japan. Several years ago Mr.. John
A. Lowell of Boston, son of Abner Lowell,
ESQ.,, OF Portland, began to make thorough
study of Japanese art, with view to using it
in the work of his firm, John A. Lowell & Co.
About three years since the first work of the
kind was issued, and it ut once made sensa-
ton. 1t was made the speciality of the firm,
and the business has increased enormously, SO
that the work is now in demand, not only all
through this country, but in Europe as we'll.
1t consists mainly of cards of various shapes
and sizes, one side of them being engraved
with artistic designs, while the other side is
left blank for whatever purpose the cards may
be used by the buyers, such as for advertising
and business cards, dance orders, menus, etc.
The engravings are SO beautiful that the cards
are much sought for, and many are sold mere.
ly on account of their artistic qua lites, taking
their place in drawing rooms with the choicest
bric-a-brac. The designs have received the
highest recognition beyond the Atlantic. and
the press of London aud Paris have praised
them enthusiastically. While Mr.. Lowell
was in Paris last summer, he was told by the
most prominent engraver that he had watched
the progress of his work with great interest,
and had tried to compete with it, but had been
forced to abandon the attempt. A few months
ago the Princess of Wales saw some of these
designs in shop at the West End for the first
time, and was so delighted with their original
ity and spirited beauty that she at once order
ed two albums of them, sumptuously gotten
up and bound in velvet, for her drawing room
at the Marlboro House. The princes-lhersel
being talented artist and a connoisseur, this
was high compliment.
Sixty hands are now employed in the estab-
lishment at $S50a week. The firm are now
about to enter on the systematic publication of
steel engravings of high artistic quality and
have selected "The Bathers' by the late VIM.
NJ. Hunt. Mr.. s. A. Schoff will engrave it nv
permission OF the owner, Mr.. Charles Fair
child of Boston. George William Curtis, A.
b. Rice. Norton and Cole, the artists and C.
g. Perkins all express delight at the proposed
undertaking. Mr.. Abner Lowell, Portland,
will receive subscriptions for the ''Bathers,"
in this city. at lat Pearl street.
