ed that they pay for postage stamps,
, not only more than any other firm in
this country, but more than any 9TH
er house in the world at large.
During the year 1879 ,hev paid
for postage staInps over eighty y-seven
thousand dollars. During the year
1880 they paid for postage stamps
over one hundred and twenty-five
Thousand dollars, while for the year
I 1881 their postage bill amounted to
over one hundred aud forty-four
thousand dollars. Thus il will be seen
that Messrs. Stinson 4 Co. pay the
two hundred and fiftie.h part OF all
postage collected by the United
States Government, and it should be
remembered that we live in coun-
try having nearly fifty thousand post :
Offices and over ten thousand news
papers and periodical publications.
While such sums are paid for post
age, the fact should not be los, sight
of that only the smaller packages are
sent by mail, all large orders being
sent by express and freight.
Their trade extends all over the
civilized world, though, of course,
America comes in for the lions share
Mcssrs Stinson & Co. are not behind
the times in properly understanding
the great power of TIE judicious use
Of printers ink, and, IN this connec-
ton, We wish to state that in less
than dozen years past they have
expended in newspaper advertising
over three hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars.
Enterprise, industry and good
judgment will accomplish great things
and in the success Of this great art
publishing house we have "a forcible
example of that fact, and now they
may, we feel sure, fairly claim to
stand at the head of the art publish
ing business in this country.
We have lately received four ele-
giant steel engravings, published by
Mcssrs. Stinson & Co. All are very
fine works of high art, and do credit
to the publishers. These engravings
are very large, thirty by forty inches
each; the original paintings, and the
steel plates, cost some thirty-three
thousand dollars. The engravings are
sold at $1,000 per copy. To engrave
a single plate ofthis size and descrip-
tion of workmanship, requires the
labor of most skillful artist from
one to two years, and often longer.
These elegant engravings are entitled
Sing Birdie, Sing,' Remembrance
The Bather's Attendant, and The
Garden Gate
1t is believed, and generally con-
ceded, that these engravings make
up the finest and most elegant set of
works of high art ever brought out
by American publishers. American
homes should be made beautiful by
refined works of art, and prices for
really Y good and merritorious pictures
are now so low that there can be no
excuse for the walls to remain gloomy
unadorncd and chez. less. American
homes should be made beautiful, and
the tendency of this will he to make
more refined and beautiful the lives
of all dwcllcrs therein.

A Difficult Question.

Before the Court of Commissioners
of Alabama claims at Washington
comes a singular question, involving
millions of dollars. The question Is:
Was the Boston "a Confederate
Cruiser" The Boston was tOwbOat,
owned by merchants of Boston, Mass,
plying between the port OF New Or
leans and the Gulf OF Mexico. In
June, 1863. she had Just entered the
mouth of the Mississippi River with
vessel IN tow laden with ice when
her captain concluded that little of
that ice would go well with some
brandy and sugar and lemons he had.
He went on board the ice-ship with
this object IN view. Just at this mo-
ment an eighteen-oared barge. com
manded by a Confederate naval
officer, which had been lying In wait
IN one OF the numerous bayOus which
interlace that part OF the coast, dart
ed out, boarded the towboat, and the
Confederates holding a pistol to- the
head of the pilot, compelled him to
turn her silently down stream, her
tow having been first cut loose. She
passed under the very guns of Unit
ed States man-of-war then blockad-
ing the river, and escaped safely out
to sea, and within Q few hours after
ward captured by surprise the ships
LenO.C and T'erOR, bound for New
Orleans, each with a valuable cargo

In travelling through Illinois lately
General Dow observed with surprise
that many of the farm houses and
barns were small. cheap and dilapi-
dated. He could not understand such
u state Of things in such fertile coun-
try, unless, indeed, whisky, beer and
tobacco were at the bottom Of it. But
on suggesting this explanation he was
informed that the farmers were indus
trious and sober, but that they were TO a
large extent tenants merely on land held
in great blocks by rich eroprietors, who
would not sell. 'Ihe farmers. there

Rev. Scott preached last evening up
on the lepsrs that asked themselves
while thew starved between the city and
the enemy, why sit re here until We
die: Moments Of decision cannot be
passed with impunity. He had seen
the fishermen on the Clatsop spit throw
out their nets. float upon the tide with
IN boats length of the breakers, then
under fair wind. hoist sail. hove IN net
and away with safety. 4 single mo-
ment of indecision would bur! them ell
into a vatery grave. He had sea foul
men drowned by venturlug 90 long.
Now while God sends his breath Of love
to watt Us into the hsrbOr Of safety II
is fatal for Us to pass the decisive mo-
ments without action. God gives saliva
ten. We must receive II or perish.
Several members were received upon
profession as friends Of the revival.
Chaplain Scott gave notice that as
Friday would be his last opportunity be
desired TO sec every church member 81
convert present At that time.
