He also, in the rush of writing up the
procession, neglected to say that on the

used being one negro man for the binder,

In his brief allusion to the HERALD's
float yesterday, one OF the
very handsomest and most tasteful
in all the procession omission was made OF
the mention OF the name of Mr. Emmir,
the wel.known and most skillful sign
painter in the city. The whole design,
preparation and execution of the work was
left TO him, and to an absolute certainty it
was an exquisite conception, poetieal in
truth throughout, showing that Mr.. Emmir
is an artist that genius has a throne in his
mind and the artistic touch and the sense
OF the beautiful are all his.
DUKE OF DURHAM.
1t isa very pleasant task of our reporter
to pen a few remarks concerning the Duke
OF Durham tobacco. This tobacco has a
reputation all over the American CONT
nent unequaled by any other brand of
tobacco, and deservedly so because it is
par excelence, and beyond question, the
finest and best tobacco manu-
featured. The merchant prince
in his counting room, the statesman in his
library porting over volumes on political
economy and the material interests OF the
nation, the lawyer. studying his case in
court and noting authorities in his behalf,
the gentleman of elegant leisure, the
artisan at his forge or his workbench, and
the day-Iaborer with his spade or his axe,
a.. use Duke of Durham tobacco. 1t is a
solace to the solitudinarian, to the man
busy at work, to the traveller on his
many journeys, and, in fact, to
every one who enjoys the pleasures
OF the pipe. Mr.. Childress is the Texas
agent, and more whoesouled, genial gen
tleman cannot be found in our state. To
his energy and enterprise and genial bon.
hommie 1t due the wide-known reputation
of this tobacco. True, it is its own recon-.
mendation. but Mr.. Childress has been
so eminently successful in placing it before
the general public that its merits might be
known, and now, after his efforts, it needs
no recommendation, for Dukes Durham is
always at the front.
