THEODORE T1LroN will be the next lee

THEODORE Triton will be the next lee
turer at the Opera House, on the 18th
inst. He is the finest speaker in the
country, and we advise our friends far
and near to come and hear him. His
subject will be ''The Worlds To-Mor-
row." AS a lecturer che is esteemed by
many to be without a peer. He usually
speaks without notes, dispenses with the
time-honored stand with pitcher and
glass of water, and with everything else
calculated to interrupt the sympathetic
connection between himself and his audi
enee. Demosthenes defined eloquence
to be Action, Action, Action" Mr..
Tilton belongs to- the Demosthenian
school. All his lectures are of the most
elevated type, and so utterly does he cast
himself, mind and body, into his sub
ject, that only the most robust constitu-
ton could respond to the drafts made up
on it during the course of a long lecture
season. No other lecturer, except, per-
haps, Mr.. Cough, uses up SO much nerv-
Gus energy in an hour and a hall"

We believe it to be the imperative ,du-
ty of every man to provide for those who
are dependent upon him, in case sudden
death or disaster should befall him.
There are various methods by which this
may be done, and after examining and
thoroughly looking into the majority of
them, we are firmly of the opinion that
a membership in the Knights of Honor
is the cheapest, best and safest of ALI
1t is not an e~phemeral eoneern-but n
SO solidly built up, that tested by the se-
verest experience it has not been found
wanting and is beyond all doubt capable
of meeting any emergency. There is a
furnishing Order in Eaton. 1t has had
one death among its members, and the
1000 on his life was paid promptly
We understand efforts are being made
to start an Order in Camden and West
Alexandria. We. advise, every laboring
man in these communities to assist in
the organization and connect themselves
with it. The expenses are light, while
Its benefits and security to its members
far exceeds any other insurance in the
country.

The best evidence in the world that
man is either an unmitigated coward or
a very bad citizen, is the fact that he
carries upon his person wherever he goes,
day OF night, a revolver or other deadly
weapons. Whoever carries such5death-
dealing weapons in a civilized commune
ty like Eaton, isa dangerous man who
is to be feared and Stunned. With but
few exceptions, such men are rascals who
do not hesitate to do a dark deed, and
they try to make themselves believe that
every body else is as mean as the esti-
mate they put upon themselves. Men
who deal honestly and want to live peace
ably with all mankind, do not make
walking arsenals of themselves by
weighing their persons down with re-
~volvers, knives and "~knucks." 1t is a
disgrace for a young or old man to be
found with such weapons upon their per-
son.. It; Immediately brands them as
towards or desperadoes who would take
undue advantage of their felow-citizens
should occasion require it. -

Messrs- Sr1NsoN & Co, of Portland.
Maine, are the largest Art publishing
house in the country. Last year. they
sold over 10000, 900 pictures, and paid
out for postage alone over $122,ooO!-
Their trade extends all over the civilized
world. We have lately received four ell.
egant steel engravings, published by
Messrs. Stinson & Co., and adozen beau.
tiful chrome flower panels all are fine
works OF art, and do credit to the pub
fishers. The steel e~ngravings are very
large-size of each 80 by 40 inches. The
; plates were engraved in London by well
known English masters of art, and cost
when they came into the owners hand.
| in Portland, custom duties paid, isomt
~thirty-two thousand dollars. These en-
cravings are of the class that sell in Eu
rope for three guineas per copy, which i
over fifteen dollars. To engrave a singh
: plate of this size and description of work
S manship, requires the labor of a mos
skillful artist from one year to two years
and often longer. These elegant engrav
S ings are entitled Choosing the Weddin
Gown" 'The Prayer for Health,
Tending Coats" and s'The Highlan
d Hearth" 1t is believed, and general
e conceded, that these ~engravings max
up the finest and most elegant set {
n works of high art EYER brought out b
o American publishers. American home
should be made beautiful by refine
works of art, and prices for really goo
meritorious pictures are now so low the
there can be no excuse for the walls t
remain gloomy, unadorned, and chez
less. American homes should be mad
a beautiful, and the tendency of this wi
be to make more refined and beautif,
m the lives of all jewellers therein.
