Paint Put-on

Think of paint pufson and not by
he gallon.
A gallon of paint in the can is of
no account to anybody. Put it on.
Now reckon its cost and value.
The secret is: one paint goes twice
as far as another. A good one goes
twice as far as e bad one.
You lave job, say an average job.
It'll take 10 gallons Devoe and IL or
Is or Is or 20 of middling poor very
poor and trash. You know painters
wages in your town. Put the price of
a gallon of paint and the painters
day-wage together. You can, we can't.
Devoe costs less than any inferior
paint; there are hundreds of them.
One paint is as good as another, so
long as itlasts good; one lasts months
and another years; and the one that
goes furthest lasts longest.

THE PlCGYUHFS GEOGRAPHY.

Our old friend, the New Orleans
Picayune, in its issue of July 81,
has the following editorial, styled:
Stop Gazing; Build Levees. "
The statement that on Tuesday,
near St. Joseph, La, and nearly
opposite Natchez, an area of land,
six acres in extent, had caved into
the Mississippi River, ETC."
We have no fault to find with this
statement of the Picayune except in
two particulars, viz; that st. Joseph
instead of being nearly opposite
Natchez" is more than fifty miles
above that city, and that the area
of land" which caved in was about
one acre instead of six.
Now, we who live in st. Joseph
would have no particular objection
to be located nearly opposite Nat
chez" if such were a fact, but the
Gazette feels impelled, as a journal
with a conscience, to reproach the
Picayune with its apparent ignOr-
ance Of the geography of the State.
