JAJBSR H. MONKEI/? MAHAQEB

PUBLICATION OFFICE—fo. 16 sooth Fifth Street, Printing HOUBS Square. Entered en seccrnd-class matter at the Foot Office, at Terre Haute, Ind.

Cannel coal has been discovered in Marion county, Iowa. The vein is five feet thick, and has been pronounced equal to Virginia cannel coal.

Tbe sub-committee have agreed to report favorably to the fall committee the bill making the tenure of office of collectors of internal revenue four years.

Prohibition doesn't seem to prohibit in Kansas to any great extent. One saloonkeeper in Topeka has a business which warrants him in employing several bartenders.

Hon. John C. New will bo confirmed. Both the Indiana senators favor it, and that settles it. The confirmation will be a fitting rebuke to the anonymous blackguards who hare been using anonymous literature to secure his defeat.

Mrs. Garfield will not answer .Mrs. Scoville's letter. It is rather heartless to attempt to drag into the case the widow of the murdered president in this manner. The assassin has had the benefit ef a fair trial, and the verdict of the jury muU be carried out.

The law of Utah placeB the schools of the territory under the absolute control of Mormon teacher?. As Gentiles and Mormons are taxed alikp for their support it is an act of injustice. It is expected that Senator Edmunds will soon introduce a bill annulling this law.

The people of -Columbus, Ohio, want the government to ercct a custom house and postoffice building in that city. As it ia not possible that the citizens could keep the mud off the front steps if it were erected, and as Columbus has never been able to pay its own campaign expenses, it will scarcely Becure a public building.

The cabinet has bsen considering the Fitz John Porter case, atd bss arrived at the conclusion that his only redress is through a pardon by the president, which would relieve him of his disqualification* from holding office, and then restore him to the army by nomination to the senate. This plan looks very nice on paper but it will scarcely be carried out.

There is a gleam of hope that Private Dalzell will be recommended at last for appointment to a foreign consulship. He has the support of the Ohio delegation and some other influential parties outside of that great state. If there is any doubt of his appointment all congress should join in a petition to the president for it, and when it is made let us hope and pray it will be to Bome point which holds communication with this country about once in two years.

The ways and means committee will report favorably a bill providing that after July 1,1882, internal reuenue storekeepers and gaugers shall be allowed the same leave of absence as all other employes of the executive department, under such regulations as the secretary of the treasury may prescribe without loss of compensation provided, that the salary to be allowed during such absence shall not exceed an amount equal to the average fees and salary allowed such officers when on duty.

To-morrow will commence the courtmartial oi Sergeant Mason, for an attempt to shoot the assassin of President Garfield. The trial will be held in the barracks in Washington city. The defense is ready, but declines to state what courre will be pursued. Under the law Guiteau cannot be a witness, he being a condemned criminal. Such being the case the prosecution will scarcely be able to convict, and it is quite probable the case will be given to the court without jany evidence ior the defense.

The committee charged, with auditing the accounts incident to the illness of President Garfield estimate thiteat will require about $200,000 to settle them. The amount to be allowed the surgeons has not yet been determined. A number of congressmen have presented bills for expenses while attending the funeralTheir names should be made public such a demand is the most cbntsmptiblo piece of business ever known in the history of the country,and should defeat those who practiced it for any office which the/ may hereafter seek.

Since 1875 four deputy collectors and eight deputy marshals have been killed while executing the law against illicit distilling in the states of Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Gaorgia, Arkansas and Alabama. During the same period forty-seven officers and employes were wounded in th* same states and in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. An effort is on foot to have congress pension the widows and dependent families of tbe officers who were killed. It would be a good idea to do this and compel the districts where the murders were committed to pay the pensions. Tbe cost of justice would be most effective in suppressing crime and bringing the guilty ones to justice.

The following scrap of editorial from the New York Tribune of Thursday last indicates that the democracy of that state is in a bad way and that its disintegration is only a .question of a short lime: "Tammany has not obeyed the Scriptural injunction. Instead of turning its left cheek to the 'regular' democracy, after being brutally buffetted upon the right, it plants a stinging blow between the eyes of the faction that antagonizes it Tuesday Mr. Speaker Patterson got the laugh .upon the Tammany- legislators by announcing standing committees from the chief of which they were carefully excluded, and on none of which, save grievances, were they awarded a chairmanship. YesterdayTammany succeeded in adding to the volume of the laughter and in changing its current to that the whole of the copious stream fe'l upon the head of Mr. Patterson and his backers. It has broken the deadlock in such away that the democratic candidate tor clerk—the only really important office within fhe gift of the house—is left ont in the oeld. In order to accomplish this choice piece of revenge, Tammany voted for ^th« republican nominee.

A5TI-FOLT6 AMY MEKTHCiS.

Oa the 22od of last month the citizens of Chicago held a monster mass meeting to protes'. agaiuet polygamous Mormonism, and to urge upon oorgrcss the necessity of legislating against it. At that meeting a committee of eix was appointed to draw up circular for general distribution, urging citizens of the United States everywhere to let themselves be heard upon the subject. We .are ill receipt of this circular^ which is as follow?:

We are to-day face to face with polygamous Mormonism, and the question is: Shall it be suppressed or shall it conquer?

The situation is critical. This wintet seenss to us to be, perhaps, our last opportunity to suppress it by peaceable means.

Its growth is rapid, mainly through Mormon immigration. Over a thousand missionaries are now in different parts of the world laboring to fcwell their ranks. The "Book of Mormon" is not only printed in English, but Welsh, PolycofJan, Italian, Danish, French and German.

Neither the death of Brigham Young, tbe building of railways, the increase of the socalled Gentile population, nor the decisions of the United States supreme court, have weakened polygamy or kindred crimes under Mormon control.

Morzconism absolutely controls Utah, holds ths balance of power in Idaho .and Arizona, and menaces Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Montana. Its cherished polygamy, the foul system of licentiousness—all the more hideous because practiced in the name of. religion is spreading into the adjoining territories. Utah has no territorial law against adultery, seduction, or inceet Polygamy and these kindred crim^p, being common, demoralize the community at large and degrade and dehumanize those who practice them.

The leaders of Mormonism, the great apostles o£ lust, are teaching the doctrine of polygsmy throughout the territory with renewed vigor.

George Q. Cannon, a man with lour WiveB,' who would be Imprisoned for his boasted crimes in any State of our Union, said recently in a speech in Salt Lake City: "The government of the United States would be powerless in the future, as it had been in the past, to enforce the anti-polygamy or any other law detrimental to the interests or progress of the Kingdom of God on earth. Nineteen years ago on the 2d of last July tho congress of the United States passed a law to prohibit and punish the practice of polygamy in the territories. How much prohibition has the laT^effected! How many of us have been punished for the practice of polygamy?"

This printed quotation from his speech to 10,000 heareis in the Tabernacle shows their spirit. We see the'.r leaders defiant and aggressive, while we have been strangely asleep to this growing evil, and now unless the people without regard to party rise and demand of their representatives its prompt uprootal it will soon be too strongly Intrenched to be overthrown by peaceable means.

Congress appears to bo in doubt as to the wishes of the people, which is owing largely to the fact that the people have been 6low to express themselves and show the interest they have in the question.

We have there and throughout the country politicians who are ready to truckle to any power for selBsh purposes, and merchants who more highly value the trade of the Mormons than the present and future welfare of the country.

Wo earnestly suggest to you that in your congressional district you promptly organize committees for the hoMing of mass meetings at all points that you also institute a system cf personal lettet-writing and a circulation of petitions to your congressmen and that ydu correspond and organize such committees and such work throughout your State.

We further suggest that you organize special committees who shall write or personally visit other states, and shall not ccase until every state is aroused.

Let there be earnest and systematic correspondence and telegraphing from Maine to California and from Minnesofk to Florida, with the distinct aim of influencing congress until such legislation is enacted as shall purge us of this leprosy.

We further suggest, in order to secure united action, and by a general movement all aloeg the line command attention and influence, that you arrange as far as possible for meetings throughout your state on Washington's Birthday, lhe22d cf this month. In the cities have meetkigB in different halls, and in the small towns where there are no halls assemble the people in the school houses, and let them consult together concorning this evil. And then have the resolutions and petitions that emanate from these meetings forwarded to the congressman for the district.

Should you find lethargy and a lack oi inter, est in your district on this subject it is all the more reason why work should be dono and the people awakened. We believe that good citizens everywhere will do what they can for the welfare of the country when such duty Ja made plain to them. Wo therefore earnestly request jou to act at once, and vigorously urge forward the movement to stamp out this great national

The effect of the meeting held in Chicago has been good, and it bus awakened great enthusiasm throughout tbe whole northwest. It is important that there Bhould be united effort in this matter throughout the country. ,The language of the above circular proves this. Congress has been notorious for it& failure to deal with Mormanism. It has been allowed to gain strength from year to year until now it is heard to threaten that soy attempt to suppress it would be resisted by force of arms. In no other ciyilfzsd country in the world would it be tolerated at all, but here, in a country that ia wont to boast of itn civilization, it hss been given shelter and has been fostered until it talks of open defiance. It is time a protest should be sent in, and that protest Bhould be of sufficient strength to command the attention of congress. This is not a political matter, but one in which the better class of the members of all parties are interested. If our citizens take enough interest this matter to call a meeting for the purposes above set forth, the columns of the Express are at their disposal for assistance*in the work.

Colonel Meacham, who died of apoplexy in Washington on Thursday night, was a standing monument of the ingratitude aod lack of good (aith in a popular form of government. Meacham was a member of the famous Modoc Peace Commission, which took its lives in its hand and went out to treat with the savages, in 1877. Before leaving Meacham reminded tbe government that the mission they were taking up was a dangerous one, and asked if the government would care for their wires and children if they were killed. They were promised that if killed or iojurei pensions ehonld be granted tbem and their families. They went out, the savages proved treacherous, the other members of the commission were killed, and Meacham was carried cjf the field with seven bullets in his body. He hung between l'fe and death for some time, and finally got off his bed, but has been totally disabled since. The families of the dead men were pensioned. Meacham never received a cent, nor had the subject been mentioned to him since, and he died without it T-",

THE HBXT HOir&E.

Ths passage of the apportionment bill by the houtC of .representatives has been causing politicians to calculute on the complexion of the next house. A close analysis of the.bill shows that the present republican states will gain as follows:

States. Ksps. states Bep*. California... 2 Michigan —..—.... 2 Illinois 1 Nebraska. 2 Iowa Ohio.... 1 Kansas.... 4 Pennsylvania-. 1 Massachusetts I Wisconsin 1 Minnesota ...... 2 New York. 1

tai:

From the above calculation, however, a reduction of three must be made for the loss of a representative in each ef the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. The following will be the gain in the democratic states:

States. Reps. Sta'es Reps. Arkansas-..™ 1 Georgia- 1 Kentucky... ..... 1 Misdsshjpi... 1 Missouri 1 South Carolina- 2 Texas. 5 Virginia 1 WertVirgiiila 1

New York is included in the list of republican states. Should it go democratic this year the gain» would he equally divided—sixteen to each party. As far ss can be learned, the bill passed is satisfactory to both parties, and there is every indication that it will pass the senate and be approved by tbe president within a week.

THE WOBK BEGUN.

W8s

in 1889.

Tbe political work cf the year was formally commenced in this county yesterday by the meeting of the Vigo County Republican Executive Committee, the official proceedings of which will be found on oar local page. The meeting was large, and great interest in the work was manifested. Republicans were present from all parts of the county. It was extremely gratifying to observe the spirit of harmony and confidence that prevailed. All seemed to feel that the republican parly could carry the county, and the township and city as well, by the proper organization and efloit. Great confidence in the various committees is felt, aod there is no doubt that their work will be well done, as it

Reid, two wivef Selectmen Aaron Hardy, three wives, and Henry Beal two wives.

All the Ohio appointments are to be sent to the Ben ate at once. The same is also true of Kentucky.

Washington Matters-

Indiana readers will take a special interest in the following review of affairs at Washington:

The inside history of tbe assistant secretaryship of the treasury, recently filled by the appointment of Hon. John C. New, is as follows: George W. Friedley, as chairman of the republican state central committee in 1876, performed faithful service and was considered to be entitled to a good appointment. Senator Harrison and the present representatives have endeavored to procure one for him in the line of hia profession (the law), a solicilorship of one of the departments being Col. Friedley's choice. There being a prospect of an early vacancy in one of the assistant secretaryships of the treasury, the delegation have been urging Col. F.'B name therefor. To their surprise Secretary Felger indicated a liking for W. W. Curry, based upon tbe latter's abilities aa manifested in the New York canvass of 1880 where Mr. C. made speeches. The Sacrel^y had not, it appears, seen Mr. Curry, but formed hia favorable opinion from hearsay. He was corrcctlv informed, as all who know Mr. C. are aware, for there are few more able canvassers or better business men in official work. The delegation, under the circumstances, were rather passive, neither ttrging nor opposing tbe appointment. The president waB reported as saying that the appointment, if made, would be the Secretary's personal choice and should not affect Indiana's claims in other directions. While the matter was in this condition the Gordian knot was cut bythe appointment of John C. New, who, it was understood, WM booked for the Russian Mission. The assistant secretaryship is a place of great importance and patronage, and will open a fine field for Mr. New's abilities.

The appointment of Mr, New ia considered as an improvement of the prospects of General ShackMord for a foreign mission, and as a slight drawback to the cbancvs of other aspirants from Indiana. None the leas, however, is Mr. New 'congratulated, as he deserves still greater hooor3 than he has yet attained, for his services to the republican party.

Hun. Wm. Heilmau, of the Evansville •Hetrict, has adhered to General Shackleford'a came with a loyalty to a friend characteristic of that warm-hearted representative. Mr. Heilman is a very hardworking member and has strong influence. He is as "regular as a clock*' in his habits and a good example of a true representative of tbe people.

Hon. George W. Steele, of Marion (11th district) adhered to Mr. New's cause with the fidelity of a brother. He is true as steel to his friends and is entitled to great credit therefor. He is working with the same persistence and determination for a constituent for the collectorahip of that revenue district, in competition with Messrs. G. S. Orth and T. M. Browne, whose congressional districts cover the same revenue district.

Hon. Thomas M. Browne ia fully sustaining himself aa a representative at Washington. Notwithstanding repeated attacks of illness, and an immense pressure of committee business, be is the same whole-souled, genial gentleman that he always has been. No man haa warmer friends than Tom Browne.

Hon. Godlove S. Ortb, the Nestor of the delegation, has the respect and warm friendship of our people. His bad treatment at Washington in the matter cf the chairmanship of the foreign relations committee of the House has not affected his aunny disposition nor his devotion to his duties. No truer man lives, nor ia there one who has warmer friends or more of them.

Harmon L. Miller, who is now visiting his home here, is rapidly gaining friends at Washington, and re sure to get promotion in the public service as his merits become known. He is a worthy representative of Vigo coanty at the seat of Government.

Hon. John D. Defreea haa given verbal notice to the President of his intention to resign the office of Public Printer, but has been prevented by sickness from offering his written resignation. This he will do soon, when'the contest for the succession will open in earnest. So far there are but five known applicants for pi see—one each from Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana, and two from the District of Columbia, with rumon of a sixth from Neir York.

nints for Mothers*

When your daughter performs a task in an ill-fashioned manner, always say: "There! I might as well have done it myself in the first place," and then take the work out of her hand and do it yourself. This will encourage the girl ndt to try to.do the thing next time she is set about it.

Never permit- your son to have any amusement at home. This will induce, him to seek it in places whore you will not be annoyed by his noise.

Theia is no place like home. Impress this truth upon your children by making homo as disagreeable and unlike any other place as possible.

Never neglect the lock pn the pantry. Some boys have probably turned out first-class house-breakers, all on account of this judicious treatment in early childhood-

Be gentle and courteous before company out if you have a temper, let your children have a taste of it as often as convenient^ A mother should never practice deception upon her brood.

Talk slightingly of your husband to yours boys and girls. This will make them respect their father.

Tell your child he shall not do a thing, and then let him tease you into giving your on consent. This will teach him what to do subsequent occasions.

Mako promises to your children, and then neglect to keep them. This will lead your childern not to place too much reliance upon your word, and shield them from many disappointments.

Tell your childern they are not the worst you ever saw, ana. they will no doubt endeavor to merit your appreciation.—Boston Transcript. A Boy Who Intends to Travel on His Experience. "What makes you walk so straight, Johnny?" asked ii fond mother, the other day, as she saw her son making tracks for the door.

Johnny was silent. "Have you a stiff neck,.sir?" asked his mohter, eyeing him sharply.

And Johnny, seeing he was cornered, replied "I cannot tell a lie it is a pumpkinpie that I stole from the shelf hard by, and I intended to screen it under my jacket and escape your eyes."

At this junction the pie dropped on the floor and spread like a scandal. Now, gentle reader, do you fancy his mother oaught him in her arms and cried, and said she would rather have him steal a thousand insignificant pies, and ruin $85 worth of Axminister carpet than to tell a falsehood?

She did not she reached for a broom and fetched him one in the small of the back that doubled him twice and almost tied him in a bow-knot and sent him flying through the door and off the stoop as though he was running for first base.

A litte later, while rubbing himself against a shad tree, he solemnly murmured to the vagrant winds: "It may tie right to go to Sundayschool and tell the truth, but after this I shall travel on the straight lie. Perhaps it's better to be right than President, but I'd rather be wrong than have my back broken in four places by a broomstick.

A Bold Bandit,

A gentleman was standing the other evening in ofte of the shadowy arcades of the Coliseum at Bome, when he was somewhat brusquely hustled by a passing figure. With a quick instinct ho clapped his hand to his watch-pocket.—. His watch vas gone! He darted after the thief, wuo turned sharply round, at the same time clutching a watch.— "Give me that watch!" A dash!-^the stolen property was recovered. The startled rohber disappeared, and the gentleman went home to boast of his adventure and his prowess. What was his consternation on entering his bedroom to find his own watch, which he had forgotten to put oik, staring him in the face from the mantelpiece. He had been the thief, and the other wretched man had stumbled over him in the dark, and, when overtaken and stopped, was merely clutching his own watch, which he haa not the nerve to rescue from the tourist.

Here its founder washed the forms, and carried water, and built the fires, and didn't sweep out the news room, and didn't carry out the ashes, and forgot what he was sent after, and let paste sour, and lost the letters he was given to mail, and upset the lye, and tried the uuual experiments with the fancy job type and the finest colored inks in the jrey of fearful and wonderful visiting cards, and in all ways conducted himself even as the devil always does about a print shop. Here Greeley passed some years of his boyhood. I wander about the village thinking about the good old man, and trying to think of the young pririter, dusting out his case with a pair of leaky-bellows, or "soldiering" for a big pick-up that was the next to the last fat thing on the hook, just under ft long take of solid nonpareil.—Burlington Hawkeye.,

The Fire Visjftle at Bostov, and in Every Direction for Thirty Miles -List of Losses, Etc. \VT a

BOSTON, MSBS., Feb. 18,1:30 a. m.—Reports from Haverhill state that a fire, which started in the business portion of the town, spread with great rapidity, the buildings being mostly oi wood and igniting very quickly. The tmall fire department was unable to cope with the flames, which soon got beyond their control, {and assistance was immediately telegraphed for to Lawrence, Newport, Lowell, and other towns adjacent. Engines have arrived from Lawrence and are on the way from several other cities which have been called upon for help.

No direct reports from the scene ol the conflagration can be obtained. The fire can be seen from Boston, Lawrence, Andover and many other places twenty to thirty miles from Haverhill.

The first direct report from Haverhill sayr: "The First National Bank, the Five-cent Savings Bank, and all of the lower part of Washington street, have been burned, aod there is no knowing where the fire will stop. The operator at the depot says the fire is getting uncomfortably close, and he is afraid he will be forced to desert his post. The fire, he says, covers at least tea acres pretty thickly built up. Smith Block, Finney Block, Tilton Block, Prescott Building, Bishop Building, Union Block, the

Coffin

Building on Washington street, and Pieling Building on Wingate street are all burned. The loss will be several millions. This is tbe biggest fire that has ever occurred in this vicinity. The streets are lined with merchandise and furniture."

The lire started in Endicott & Arnold's sole-leather establishment, a wooden block.

At 2:30 a sudden burst of flame was noticed from the city indicating an explosion,, LATER.

HAVEEHILL, Mass., February 18.—The fire is under control. But one block remains on Wingate street, and two at the upper end of Washington street all else in the square boundrdby the Merrimac river on the south, Washington square and Essex street on the east, the north side of Wingate Btreet on the north and Railroad rquare on the west is burned to the ground. This territory embraces the largest part of the boot and shoe manufactories, The loss cannot be estimated at present. Joseph Pratt, a fireman, was killed, and George Whittier fatally injured.

What cn yesterday was the finest street in the city and the principal business mart, is to-day a smouldering mass of ruins. Some eighty shoe firms are entirely burned out, and others soffer more or les damage/ Two thousand people are out of employment srd several families homeless. The loss is estimated at $2,000,000.

Engines were present from Newburyport, Lawrence and Lowell. Men are already at work cleaning away the debris. The block on the north side'of Wingate street was several times on fire, but was saved. The wind blew freBh from the northwest, which, with the scarcity of water and the freezing of the hose, made it difficult to control the fire. Several are reported missing, but nothing definite is known yet.

Collins stitching room.

BOSTON, February 18.—The Journal estimates the loss at Haverhill at $2,500,000, and says the most dreadful feature of the calamity is the loaa of life and awful uncertainty caused to many anxious hearts. It is feared bodies are buried in tbe ruins. The City Marshal states that three men are missing, and the spread of the flames was so rapid that they were unable to escape.

THKIE LIVES LOST.

HAVEBHILL, February 18.—The loss will bs fully up to the first estimate, with insurance aggregating one million, widely distributed in Eastern and foreign companies. One hundred and two shoe manufacturers burned out, and over 200 other firms. Three lives were lost certainly, and perhaps more.

NEW YOBK, Feb. 18.—Jesse Seligman, Samuel Sloan, Wm. K. Jessip & Co., S. H. Babcock and Dr. Norvin Green, declare that the nse of their names by Shepherd altogether unwarranted, and that they know nothing of him or his Peruvian scheme. Shepherd and Grant refused to be interviewed

CONGRESS.,

TBR HOUSE.

WASHINOTOK 1 8 1 8 8 2 The bill to promote the .efficiency of the Life Saving Service was reported, and the House went into Committee of the Whole on the immediate deficiency bill, which appropriates $1.82^983.

The item of deficiency for the public printing gave rise to a debate during which Atkins stated that the great cost of public printing was in great measure doe to the extravagance of»the Committee on Printing* of last Congrees. This brought 8ingletcn to hia feet in defense of the Committer, of which he was then Chairman.

Over the clause of the immediate deficiency bill appropriating $75,000 for erecting vaulta in the Treasury quite an interesting discussion arose upon the silver question. Hewitt made a vigorous attack on the standard silver dollar, characterizing it as a cheat and fraud aod fiat money in ita worst and most repulsive and objectionable sense, and asserted that it rendered all commercial transactions cheating transactions.

Stephens and Murch defended the silver dollar, declaring that it was the true unit of value. They characterised the act of 1873 aa an act passed for the purpose of degrading silver, and Murch declared the cry that the standard dollar was fraudulent was' false in fact and untrue in principle. Buckner also, defended the standard dollar.

After further discussion upon various items in the bill the committee rose to report it to the Houae, and it was passed— yeas, 155 nays 26.

Adjourned.

The Dally Rascal,

CITICAGO, February 18.—William C. Clark, formerly at tbe head of the wholesale house of Clark, Friend, Fox & Co, has fled from Chicago and is known to be in New York. It appears that he not long since bought out the other interests of the firm, with promissory notes, and speedily transferred the stock to rival dealers for $175,000, of which $112,000 was in cash or good commercial paper. Complaints by creditors of the original house caused an investigation by Friend and .Fox, which shewed that $180,000 of the firm's paper waa still afloat. Of this amount $40,000 was promptly paid, and tbe liabil. ities will be honestly met.

The Chester Horror. CHESTER, Pa., February 18.—Another body haa been recovered from the ruins ot Jackson's manufactory, that of a young man, Joseph Jones. Kelly and New, firemen injured, will probably die. It appears that 200 kega of powder had been received by Jackeoh once every two weeks, tbe last lot on Wednesday evening. There wta also at the same time in the house a barrel weighing seven, hspidggd pounds, contents unknown.

Judge Lynch Waxes Wroth. DENVER, February 18.—A Santa Fa special says: Edward M. Kelly, wbo was to be hanged here to-day, waa respited by President Arthur to March 19th. Many people are highly indignant at the interference, and it Would not be surprising if Kelly was lynched to-night. Extra guards have been placed around the jail.

This engraving is only sold by subscription, and the price ia £6, or about $39. It ia absolutely impossible toeecure a copy at a less price, czcept through this offer. The engraving represents the Savior as he is leaving tbe Prsetorium, after being condemned to f'"cifiction. He is descending the steps iding from the judgment court. At the foot of the steps stands two burly executioners, in charge of tbe cress which the Savior is to bear. On the right are the followers and believers of Christ, with despair in their every look, while the mother of our Lord is an agonized and fainting attendant. In the rear and on tbe left are the judges and scoffers, surrounding Pontius Pilate, who

rear and on tbe left are the judges and

are looking with fierce complacency on their work. The central figure is that of Chriat, as he uncomplainingly descends the steps to take up the cross and bear it to he scene of his crucifixion.

The work in this portion of the engraving is more perfect and beautiful than we had supposed could ever be executed. The expressions of the faces, tho grouping of the figuies1 and the careful attention to detail in the drapery and accessories of the picture, are all carricd out in perfection and with consummate skill. There is a very large number of figures in the work, and all are depicted with life-like faithfulness. It stands today unquestionably The Finest and Mosit Vain able

Engraving In tbe World, The engraving of the plates cost upward of $30,000, and no copies from it are sold at a less price than $30, which, with duties and shipping added, brings the cost to American purchasers to about $40 per copy.

This splendid work ia tbe first of a series of the prominent art worka of Europe, which the AMERICAN ART EXCHANGE will produce in America, simultaneous with their production in the Old World, and at prices which will enable tha multitude to purchase.

This first work, "Christ Leaving tho Prajtorinm," Will be nsed as an introductory advertisement, and a limited number will be furnished

FREE TO ALL APPLICANTS

It is a correct reproduction of the English plate, which sells at $30 per copy, many of which have been purchased by a number of Americans at that price, who subscribed for it through tbe English bouse. The American edition will, be furnished in the same size and with the same attention to perfect work as characterizes the $30 copies.

The object of this extraordinary offer is to briog our enterprise into immediate recognition in this country, so that when we announce future works the public will have had an opportunity toj udge of the quality and bsauty of the art work produced by the American Art Exchange.

Until tbe first edition is exhausted, we will ship a perfect copy of the engraving, "Christ Leaving tbe Proctorium," to any applicant. The engraving (which is a very large one) will be put up in a heavy tube, and sent by mail. The only charge will be. the coet of tubing and postage, which will be 10 three-cent postage stamps. It waa at first thought 20 cents would be sufficient for this charge, but Irom frequent breaking of the tnnes in the mail bags it was decided to increase the thickness and strength of the tubes (thus making tbem heavier) so that they could not be broken except in case of an accident. This necessitated an increase of charges for this purpose to 30 cents, or 10 three-cent stamps.

On receipt of application we will immediately forward this superb engraving to any address in tbe United States^ all charges prepaid, wb^n ten three-cent stamps are enclosed in letter to cover postage and tube. At anj time within one year we will take ck the engraving and allow a credit of $3 for it in payment for any works issued by us.

Not more than five copies will be sent to any one address for distribution, and the name of each member of the club must be sent. I*"?*:
