somely bound and printed, and contains " :
wards of 500 pages it is illustrated by first
class artists ; 1t is from the press of Messrs.
E. @. Allen & Co., of Augusta, Maine. As
a rapid biographer, Col. Conwell doubtless
stands ithout rival in America, and the

nation and most careful attention on every
page. This is the biography that received
the inestimable benefit of the active coop
GRAFTON and assistance of Mr.. Blaine, his
relatives and friends this is the volume
that is recommended by the family and the
private Secretary of the distinguished Can
didate; 1t is a true picture, drawn by a
master hand, of the lie of the Statesmen
from the humble cradle to the present day,
and presents striking contrasts to the
score so-called 'lives" which are to larg g
extent filled with irrelevant matter made up
from the newspapers of the day those who
are wise will subscribe only for the authenic
Augusta edition,-the largest, cheapest
handsomest and best. The steel-plate por-
traits Of Blaine and Logan were engraved
for this volume and are standing rebuke
to the caricatures which appear in the So
called elves" with big pretentions. We
understand that this Authentic Standard
Augusta edition is outselling all others more
then ten to one, and that its agents are
meeting with the most phenomenal success.
A few more agents are wanted by the pub
fishers i; the most liberal terms are offered.

with this grand book no one can fail to do
great business. The volume also contains

in doing which you will notice that the
hitherto obtrusive heavy tones of the rock

portions, so as to leave the dots of color on
the projections of the paper, this being the
method Nature herself has adopted. Also
be very careful to impart tenderness to the
spots where the rock sinks into the sur

crumbling and Transforming process which
Nature is carrying on in this situation.
