SUDDEN DEATH!

VERY FUNNY INDEED.
An Anscdo.s That len Davis Used 10 Relate.

"The most humorous incident l ever
heard Of" said jefferson Davis once, "was
the surprising humor Of one of Joe John
sons soldiers from Georgia"
"How was it," asked Gen. Beuregard.
"Well, they bucked and gagged this GeoI-
gia soldier for stealing chickens, but he
screamed with laughter as soon a. they took
the gag out. Then they tied him up by the
thumbs, but he laughed louder and louder.
What are you laughing att" asked the
officer.
Breaking into louder and more hilarious
laughter" he screamed, why, I'm the
wrong man."
All this may have been very amusing for
Mr.. Davis, but it is certainly very differ
ent class of amusement from what we are
prepared to offer our readers with our port
folios of photographs. 1t is nothing less
than remarkable to note the degrees of en-
thusiasm the public evinces over these
views. OF course the Worlds Fair was a
great and an interesting event, and
there would be nothing strange in the
fact of multitude exhibiting a de-
sire to possess mementos or souvenirs Of
what they saw. That however there should
be such general and wide spread feeling
aud such an eagerness on the part of all
classes of people, is somewhat remarkable.
The reason for it lies undoubtedly in the
high excellence of the reproductions. While
they represent the buildings and the
grounds, they at the same time impress the
beholder with the fine artistic execution in
the mechanical part Of the reproduction.
Every view we offer is indeed an art gem
and in reality gives a clearer idea Of the
buildings and the grounds than any visitor
could have obtained at the fair itself. Our
views are llxl3 inches in size and they are
in cabinets of sixteen; photographs each.
Though they are worth dollar for every
single picture we can supply entire cabinets
for ten cents. Cut from this paper the
special coupon part one which appears en-
the first page this morning, and bring or
send them to our Office and you can get any
number of this beautiful work.
