The dissatisfied ones have a little

the number of stamps canceled.

We have received from George
Stinson & Co., of Portland Maine,
the well "know Art Publishers, a
magnificent, full length, steel engraving of General Grant. It is after Anderson's celebrated photograph
which was made while the general
was still in full vigor, and represents
him in his sturdy, manly strength,
as the people wish to remember him.
It |is, undoubtedly, the best portrait
ever made of the general. Messrs.
Stinson & Co. are in need of agents
for several important, popular, new
publications, and offer inducements
that should be heeded by those in
need of profitable work; those who
write to them will receive, free, full
particulars. The editor of The

transactions with Stinson & Co., and
we always found the firm reliable
and honorable.
