about the condition of the Marine Hos

ONeill, who has fallen heir to the cele-

terprising firms n.thiS city. a couple OF
years ago Mr.. Samuel Ball, the senior
member of the firm, believing that there
was love of the artistic among the
people of this city that only needed cul-
tivation, resolved to leave the old ruts
of paper hanging which he had fol
lowed for years, and introduce some
thing new, and for that purpose leased
the large store room IN the Smith build
ing, which he fitted up in a style never
before attempted in this city. The pc ,
ple tlocked to see it, and while all
agreed that it was beautiful beyond
conceptions, til. major part thought it
must result in failure, as they did not
consider this city far enough advanced
to support such al artistic establish
ment.

even NJ. Balls sanguine expectations

tablshment is now one of the institn
