White &Melvinare making money," said a friend, the other day. He spoke the truth. And why Because they keep the choicest and purest coffees, sugars, spices and other groceries, the freshest and best country produce, and then they are such clever and agreeable gentlemen that it is a real pleasure to deal with them

Reader of The Mail, a constant perusal of these columns will give you a taste lor good reading, and to supply this taste we advise you to go to Bartlett & Co's—either place, 101 Main street, or the Central Book store, 159 Main street,where you will find a choice assortment of standard and miscellaneous books with which to store the mind.

Last week we mentioned that R. W. Rippetoe had received the first strawberries, the first raspberries and the first apples of the season. Since then he got from E. J. Brown the first Blackberries that have been shown in this market. You can always depend on finding fruits and berries, if they are in season,as well as the choicest groceries, at the "White Front," 155 Main street.

The perfume arising from some of our streets and ulleys may be odorous but not so pleasant to the smell as the choice perfumery sold by Cook

A comic periodical once defined the question of the day as being "what is there for dinner," but the real question of the day with sensible gentleman is where to purchase the best and most durable ready-made clothing, and the answer is a John Kuppenheimer's, 118 Main street. He has now a very large and complete stock specially adapted to the summer trade.

S. R. Freeman the well-known jeweller, 161 Main street, always strives te have the best of everything in his line. He has recently secured the agency for the celebrated Edmonson spectacles. They give beautiful vision by artificial light, preserve the sight so that its failure is less in many years than with the use of more common glasses in one year. 161 Main street.

The English Anti-Tobacco Society have endeavored to demonstrate the horrible offects of smoking by Inducing Professor Newman to experiment upon his own nervous system and note the results. He found them so pleasant that he has become a confirmed user of the weed, and the reformers are disoonsolate.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

H, Wright's New Gallery.

If Rip Van Winkle could wake up to-day from a twenty year's sleep and see the improvements that have been made upon the wonderful invention of Daguerre, that created such a sensation among the artists in 1822, he would be scarcely less surprised at the perfection the art has arrived at now, than he was at the absence of his friend Nick Vedder, bis dog Schneider, or his wife Gretchen. Art has made no more rapid strides than in the department of Photography, and we apprehend that Daguerre himself, oould he arise from the grave he has slept in some twentyyears, would stand aghast at the card presentments of human life which now have usurped the field mastered in the early stages of the science by the metallic plates which received tbe images from the lens of the camera obscura. We have been led into these reflections by a visit this week to the new, spacious and elegant art gallery ot Mr. D. H. Wright. By the aid of paint, paper, carpets, curtains, rich furniture and most excellent taste tbe old Odd Fellow's Hall, on Main street near Fifth, has been transformed into an art into an art gallery second to none in the State, and fairly in keeping with our rapidly growing beautiful city,

The spacious room, 40x00 feet, is eas^ ofaccess from the street by carpeted stairs, and is most admirable arranged for the comfort and convenience of both visitor and operator. The several departments are separated by neat halfpartitions that, if anything, add to the general appearance. In fact in the entire arrangement of the several departments, the carpets, the papering, the decorations, pictures, showcases, etc., there is a harmonious blending quite pleasing to the eye.

The arrangement of side and top light is most excellent—we doubt if it is surpassed by any gallery in the west, By it Mr. Wright is independent of the weather, and doesn't care whether old Sol shines or not. It is especially adapted for groups and Rembrandts, With plenty of light, an unobstructed view, and ample room, we are anxious to see a large group taken.

Upon the walls and in the show cases Mr. W. shows some fine specimens of his art. Among the most prominent are large 20 24 photographs of Miss Kellogg, Mrs. Carrington, W. R. Freeman, the artist, and

B. Tuell.

These pictures were made at his old gallery, and although very fine, he expects to surpass them with his new facilities in the way of light, room, the best instruments and accessories. His pictures, however, which are to be found in almost every household hereabouts, are too well-known in this community for us to waste words up on them. They are accurate to life, clear to the finest shadow of a hair, and astonishly perfect in all artistic re quirements. Not only does he thoroughly understand the mysteries of chemicals and camera, but he is also, (what few artists are) a complete adept in posturing. It is well-known to all people of taste that the whole affect of a picture can be, and often is spoiled by a false position of the subject, and there is no better place to study human nature, with reference to artistic taste, than on the wall of a photograph gallery. Some will insist upon one position and some upon another, while perhaps not one in a hundred will assume a position in accordance with good taste. This being true, it is of the greatest importance that the photographer be a man of artistic taste, as well as skillful as a manipulator and chemist. These latter qualifications can be acquired by study and practice but the first is a natural gift. As before remarked, Mr. Wright possesses this gift in an eminent degree, and to this we attribute as much as anything else his success as a photographer.

But we have written more than at first intended, and close this sketch with a suggestion to all who desire good pictures, or to view the fine specimens on exhibition to make an early call on D. H. Wright, in his new, spacious and elegant quarters.

That "manners make tbe man" is true in part but how mean any man looks'.when he wears a shabby, poorly made or unfashionable suit of clothes. Apollo in ill-fitting slop-shop clothes would |be Apollo no longer. It therefore behooves men about to purchase clothing to know where to get the best made. W. H. Bannister, the wellknown clothier,has a fine stock oi piece goods, employs the craftiest workmen, uses the best material, and sells at the lowest living prices. Consequently he is popular with gentleman of taste and those who wish to economize.'
