A Cooper After Fame. —A New York wholesale dry poods merchant, who was passing a day or two in a Pennsylvania town, received a call at the hotel from an anxious-looking, middle-aged man, who looked carefully around the room to see that nobody was eavesdropping, and then whispered: “Say, you are from New York, ain’t you?’ “I am.” “That’s what the boys said. Say!” “Well.” “This is one of the meanest towns in the country.” “Is it?” “You bet it is! Any man who tries to get along is cried down at once, and |evervbody is jealous of him. Say! ft Well, sir.” “I’ve got a cooper-shop down here about half a mile. Across the road is a fellow with a limekiln. An aide rmrn from Pittsburg came on here a few weeks ago and happened to visit the lain, and the owner has been so stuck up ever since that you can’t touch him with a tenfoot pole. Say!” “Yes.” “Come down to my shop and straddie a shaving horse and sit there ten minutes and I’ll buy you a new hat! That aiderman was a big thing, and it was something to crow over; but if I can get a wholesale merchant from New York city into my cooper shop there won’t be a church festival in this town without I ’tend the door and my wife makes the soup!”—Wall Street News.

One-half a Million Dollars for Postage.

George Stius'iu the celehia ted Ait Publishers, of Portland. Me., undoubtedly »ay more money for postage stamps than any other Him in the world; for the last five yea’s Ibeir postage bill has iVeraped over two thousand dollars per week, inaking a errand aggregate o z f over five hundred and twenty ihous inddollars’ this is about the tbree-huudreth par' of all ostage of everj’ description collected by the United States gov* eruiuent daring that time, and in this CGunectiou it must,be borne in mind that the country has over fifty million souls, and fifty thousand po*c offices, But the enormous sum paid for postage represents only the eos. of sending the light packages, letters and circulars, i*r large, heavy packages ate sent toy express and freight. Messrs. Stinson & Co. pubfish every description of pictures of the better class and their trade now extends over the entire world. As an illu-t tralion of the fa°t .bat their tiado reaches the furthermost part or the eart , the following may be interest ing: A short time since an orde. tor an assortment cf over three thousand large and expensive pictures was received irom T emania, away down under the South Foie, Not many years ago Tasmania was a penal colony <?f England, and its population was entirely of convicts and their keeper**. Si nee the removal o f the con w icts,it has become a thrifty colony; this place is so remote, that thiee months are required for an answer to a letter. Tons of pictures are sent to South America by Messrs. Stins m & Co. and West Africa sends po Portland jor works of ert: they have trade in every . quai trr of the globe where civilization has gained a foothold. Commencing at the bottom, they have worked their way up to the top, step by step, and thereby, added to the greatest push and entei prise, they have that solid, practical experience that is always necessary to these results, in all, things They carry in stock millions of pictures, and are at a moments notice ready to fill a five cent order, or one for thousands of doil.ios; ;hey employ some five hundred artists, elerke, and workmen; their maehinerv and appointments are on a magnificent scale,and u trade of ten thousand dollars a day, on an average, is requir- . od to keep them moving in full blast. ; Their assortment of s’eel plates is especially fine, and ranks vor* high in artistffi merit; many thousands of dollars are-often spent on a single plate. They appreciate the valu of printer's ink and know how to use it to the best advantage; there£pre they advertise largely and liberally in the newspapers—newsbaper advertising was an important factor in laying the sound foundations of their great success, and without it, they state that it would have been utterly impossible for them to have reached their present position. Stinson & Co. are a striking Illas* tration of what can be accomplished by energy, Industry, and good judgment. There is “100 mat the top*— all honor to those whu fight their way up. This firm believtosfin standard goods and low prices, and on that priu iple their business is conducted. imerlean homes should be mads beautiful by refined and meri* teriou* works us act; no one has any excue 'or ot adding to their homes the cM'trdus of pictures,? for fine works of high art arc witbia the Teach ofjtll.

It will cure Heart Disease, Paralysis, Dropsy, Kidney Disease, Consumption, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and all similar diseases. Its wonderful curative power is simply because it purifies and enriches the blood, thus beginning at the foundation, and by building up the system, drives out all disease. A Lady Cured of Rheumatism. Baltimore, Md., May 7, 1880. My health was much shattered by Rheumatism when I commenced taking Brown’s Iron Bitters, and I scarcely had strength enough to attend to my daily household duties, lam now using the third bottle and 1 am regaining strength daily, and I cheerfully recommend it to all. I cannot say too much in praise of It. Mrs. Mart E. Brashkar, 173 Prestmanst. Kidney Disease Cured. Christiansburg, Va., 1881. Suffering from kidney disease, from which I could get no relief, 1 tried Brown’s Iron Bitters, which ■ cured me completely, A child of mine, recovering from scarlet fever, had no appetite and did not seem to be able to eat at all. I gave him Iron Bitters with the happiest results. J.'KAir MORTAjui t. Heart Disease. Vine St., Harrisburfc. I'a. '■ - De. . . After trying diflercru phjsivians and many remedies for palpitation of the heart without receiving auy benefit, I was advised to try Brown’s Iron Bitters. I have used two bottles and never found anything that gave me so much relief. . Mrs. JsNNrx Hess. For the peculiar troubles to which ladies are subject, Brown’s Iron Bitters is invaluable. Try it.
