DETROIT WHITE LEAD.-It will be
seen by an advertisement elsewhere,
that the white lead used in painting
the north wing of the Russell House,
that part fronting on Michigan
avenue, is of home manufacture, having been made at the Detroit White
Lead Works of Messrs. Worcester,
Laible, & Standish, The building is
particularly distinguishable for its remarkable whiteness, and has been universally admired. The testimony of
two practical painters, employed in
painting the building, is that the Detroit white lead is of superior body
and better covering qualities to that
used on the remainder of the building
for the outside coat. This is a worthy
testimonial to home manufacture.Advertiser and Tribune.
Pure Peninsula Lead is unsurpassed
in whiteness, fineness, and durability.
It is whiter, more finely ground, and
contains greater body and duration
than any White Lead in the United
States.
Sold by Brisbin & Conely, Agents
for Detroit White Lead Works.
TRUE MERIT NEEDS NO PRAISE.
This is the case with the Tremont
House, Jackson. The well-known reputation of the hosts of this popular
house could not be bettered by anything we might say. Mr. F. L. SMITH,
has been connected with hotels for
nearly twelve years; and has, during
that time, been employed in most of
the First Class Houses of the State.
L. D. HURD, has long been known as
the Landlord of the Tremont. This,
we think, is a sufficient guarantee that
they know "how to keep a Hotel,"
and we but reiterate the sentiments of
all who may have had the pleasure of
stopping with them, when we say:
"They are the right men and in the
right place." Those who may have
business in Jackson cannot find a better House for the same price than the
Tremont. Give them a calL
A radical change is about to be effected in the mode of shoeing horses in
France. The old fashioned shoe is to
be altogether discarded; the hoof of
the horse will be allowed to grow naturally, and it will be protected against
accidents and wear and tear by being
enclosed in a thin circle of iron, which
will preserve it from danger without
compressing it.

THE SuNKEN LAE.-The Sentinel
published at Jacksonville, Oregon, of
the 12th ult., says: Several of our citizens returned last week from a visit
from the Great Sunken Lake, situated
in Cascade Mountains, about seventyfive miles north-east from Jacksonville.
This lake rivals the famous valley of
Sinbad the sailor. It is thonght to average 2,000 feet down to tne water all
round. The walls are almost perpendicular, running down into the water,
and leaving no beach. The depth of
the water is unknown, and its surface
is smooth and unruffled, and lies so far
below the surface of the mountain that
the air currents do not affect it. Its
length is estimated at twelve miles, and
its breadth at ten. No living man
ever has, and probably never will be
able to reach the water's edge. It lies
silent, sBill and mysterious, in the bosom of the "everlasting hills," like a
huge well, scooped out by the hands
of the giant gem of the mountain, in
unknown ages gone by, and around it
the primeval forests watch and ward
are keeping. The visiting party fired
a rifle several times into the water at
an angle of forty-five degrees, and
were able to note several seconds of
time from the report of the gun until
the ball struck the water. Such seems
incredible but is vouched for by some
of our most reliable citizens. The
lake is certainly a most remarkable cu
riosity.

UNITED STATES CASUALTY.
That system and management render everything possible is proved by
the success which has been won by this
company, even from misfortune. That
all should mutually agree to afford relief and indemnity to any suffering
from accidents to which every one is
liable, is the principle upon which this
association is based, and the skillful
adjustment and consumate execution
of the plan have made it a blessing to
many and a source of profit to those
who have embarked in the enterprise.
As our only mutual accident company,
-as one that has amassed during the
short term of its existence a handsome surplus, and which, by the excellence of its organization and remarkable executive ability, has undoubted
claims to general favor and confidence,
we commend it to the favorable consideration of insurance agents and the
insuring public, which should include
all who are subject to accidents and
have the wisdom to provide against
their worst consequences.-N. Y. Insurance Monitor, for October, 1867.

CINCINNATI HOME FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY.
In the July number of the MOXITOR
we alluded as delicately as possible to
a communication from a highly respectable source, charging some of the
officers of this company with borrowing $103,000 in U. S. bonds, merely
for the sake of defeating the Illinois
insurance law. This accusation is reiterated more circumstantially in the
St. Louis Insurance Review. How
long will the company remain content
to lie under this infamous imputation,
including perjury and a shameless betrayal of public confidence? We shall
be only too happy to open our columns
to a refutation of a charge so damaging to its interests and which ought to
be no longer suffered to pass unchallenged.-N. Y. Insurance Monitor, for

WORKING MASONS.
We fully endorse the views of our
cotemporary as expressed in the following article:
"Included under the general head
of Freemasons, there are several varieties of craftsmen, of which it is well
occasionally, to ' take due notice.' It
Is not a difficult task on visiting a
iodge, and comparing the names of
those present with the names on the
roll o0 members, to divide the latter
at once into two classes-the working
Masons, and the idle ones-let us look
at them and note their characteristics.
The working Mason is one who not
only feels a deep interest in the welfare
of the lodge and the general prosperity
of the Order, but proves by his acts
the reality and sincerity of that feeling.
He is present at every meeting of his
lodge, unless prevented by duties
which have a still higher claim on him
-his duty to his country, to his family, or his God. We do not mean by
working Masons, particularly, one who
takes a part in what is technically
known as the work of the lodge-that
is the rituals, or the conferring of degrees; but one who regularly attends
his lodge, and while there discharges
any duty that may be assigned to him.
If nothing of this kind falls to his lot,
he is still attentive to the proceedings,
gives his counsel and advice to preserve the harmony and prosperity of
the lodge, and is competent to fill any
station where he may be required for
the time being. This is a working Mason.
"Now for the idle: They go to the
lodge when summoned, or when there
is some great occasion, or when they
have to pay dues to avoid being suspended, and scarcely ever at any other
time. And even then they feel no interest in the lodge, unless that interest
should center upon themselves. They
attend so rarely that they are not qualified to do anythin'g when they are
present, and as soon as the special object of the visit is accomplished, they
ask permission to retire, they wish to
go to the theatre, or to a political
meeting, or to meet a business friend,
etc. These are generally very worthy
men, industrious, thriving, honorable,
but they are not working Masons.
" It would be interesting, and furnish
a curious exhibit, to know what portion of the members of lodges are
working Masons. Say in a lodge of
one hundred members, how many are
regular attendants? Are there twentyfive, or one-fourth? We doubt if, in a

NEwsPAPER.-In a lecture upon newspapers, delivered in Philadelphia by
Rev. De Witt Talmadge, he said:
"I now declare tha. I consider the
newspapers to be hbe 3o:and agency by
which ihe Gospel is preachecd, ignorance casl out, oppressior dethroned,
crime ex-;rpated, tie rTo 'd raised,
heaven rejoiced and God glorJ'ed. Tr
the clsaking op.he printing press as
sheets fly out, I hear ihe voice o. -'e
Lord Almighty proclaiming Lo p 1 he
dead nations o the earth, ' Lazarus,
come forth!' ao.d to he ret ea ling surges of darkness, ' Let there be light. "
"Will you have a daily Sun?" said a
news boy to Mrs. Partington. "Will
you have a daily son? Why, you little scapegrace! How dare you insinurte against a lone woman! No, indeed-I guess I won't have a daily son.
My dear, poor husband used to complain awfully when I presented him
with a yearly son, indeed! Begone,
you little upstart imp!" And the old
lady called for the tarkey-tail fan to
keep from swooning.
A genius living in California made a
nerve and bone all-healing salve, and
thought he would expermentalize a little with it. He first cut off his dog's
tail and applied some of the salve to
the stump. A new ta1; grew out immediately. He then applied some to
the peace of to; which be cut off. and
a new dog g, ew out. He c.d rot know
which dog was which.
"How do you and your friends feel
now?" said an exultant politician n
one of our Western States, to a rather
irritable member of the de'eated party.
"I suppose" said the latter," "we feel
just like Lazarus did when he was licked by dogs."
A young lady after reading attentively the title of a novel called the:' Last

more pertinent inquiry is, " what would

A band of Indians made a sudden
attack on a detachment of our soldiers
in the mountains. The soldiers had a
mountain howitzer, mounted on a
mule. Not having t1me to take it off
and get it in position, they backed up
the mule and let drive at the Indians.
The load was so heavy that: mule and
all went tumbling down the hill toward the savages, who, not understanding that kind of warfare, fled like
deers. Afterward one of them was
captured, and when asked why they
run so, replied: "Me big Injun, not
afraid of little guns or big guns, but
when a white man load up and fire a
whole jackass at Injun, me don't know

GERMAN IhIMMGRATION.
The increasing immigration from
Germany to the United States, says
the Philadelphia Press, is accounted
for by foreign journalists, as arising
from the fear, of the new Band, and
more particularly of Prussia, that a
vast increase in the army will be requisite to carry out the ambitious projects of Count Bismarck. As it is, every able-bodied man in Prussia must
begin life with a certain amount of
military service. A pressing conscription would almost ruin the peasantry,
as well as the skillled artisans in the
cities and tows of Prussia. Hence the
strong flow of the tide of immigration
to this country. These Germans are
industrious, saving, well conducted,
and fairly educated. They have a passion for music and a penchant for lager,
but generally speaking, exhibit few of
the flagrant vices which fill our calendar of crime. If there were any means
short of actually prohibiting immigration, it is almost certain that Count
Bismarck would put it into operation.
As it is, thanks to his ambition, Prussia loses and we gain a large and excellent description of industrious Germans.
It is well said that whisky is a nonconductor, because it never' conducted
wealth into a man's pocket, happiness
to his family, or respectability to his
character. In all these things it has
proved a non-conductor and therefore
it is best to let it alone.

THE STUDY AND PRACTICE OF EcoNoMv.-In times like these it behooves all
classes to economize, to make a dollar
go as far as possible; consequently it
is an object with all, in purchasing any
kind of goods, to find where the greatest bargains can be had. To those in
want of Books, Bibles, (Family or
Pocket) Prayer Books, Hymn Books,
Photograph Albums, Pocket Diaries,
Portfolios and Stationery of all kinds,
we would suggest a place where great
bargains are constantly being given to
buyers-Bordwell's Bookstore, 106
Washington Avenue, opposite Capitol.
The special attention of Builders,
Mechanics and Farmers, as well as all
other consumers of Hardware, is called
to the stock of goods kept by T. B.
Thrift. There is not perhaps, a more
carefully selected stock od general
Hardware kept in any retail store in
the State, than is to be found in this
establishment. Mr. Thrift has made
the hardware trade a specialty for several years, and feels confident in saying
to the consumers of goods in his line,
that he can give them better goods at
lower prices, than any other establishment in the country. Call and see, at
No. 106, Washington Avenue, opposite
the Capitol.
ENGLISH LAND MONOPOLISTS.-In Ireland a deputation of progressionists
have been holding energetic assemblages, and have, through Mr. Ernest
Jones, caused a stirring revival of the
"land question." Mr. Jones shows,
among other interesting facts, that the
71,000,000 acres of land, in the three
kingdoms are wholly in the possession
of 34,000 owners; and adds some not
more important, but rather more suggestive, details, proving the enormous
power now wielded by an extremely
limited number of property holderssuch as that the Marquis of Breadelbane can any day "ride one hundred
miles in a straight line through his
property from his own door;" that the
Duke of Cleveland may do likewise
for a distance of twenty-three miles;
that tbe Duke of Richmond holds
3;0 000 acres in the heart of England;
and that the Marchioness of Stafford
not long ago wielded her power so unwisely as to deprive her tenants of
nearly 800,000 acres, for the selfish
purpose of turning their farms into
deer forests or sheep walks.
Go and look at Bordwell's Wall Paper, Window Shades, (oil paper), before purchasing elsewhere.

A FISHING JArNT.-An English nobleman who had heard glowing accounts of our blue fishing on the south
side, became so enamored of it that he
determined to visit the country to enjoy it. He crossed the Atlantic in a
Cunard steamer, when he reached the
dock he hired a hack to take him to
the Long Island railroad depot, which
was then at the South Ferry. He arrived when a train was about leaving,
and stepped on board, went directly to
Islip. There he fished for two weeks,
having, fortunately, excellent luck. At
the end of that time he returned by
the early train to New York, took another hack from the depot and caught
the same steamer that brought him
over, in time to leave by her at 12
o'clock. In bidding America good by,
he said that he had had delightful
sport, and had enjoyed himself exceedingly, and thought he should come
again. All he had seen of our land
after a trip of a few thousand miles,
was a few dirty streets and a strip of
sand beach. He did not even take the
trouble to spend a day in New York.
All he came for was the fishing, and
that was good enough to remunerate
him.
We should have mentioned that he
bought his fishing tackle of A. J. Velie, who always keeps - full assortment.
THE AWARDS AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
According to the previous authentic
reports, fully corroborated by a dispatch just received at this office, four
gold medals have been awarded to exhibitors of pianos at the Paris exposition. To Messrs. Broadwood, of London, a house nearly one hundred and
forty years in existence, closely identified with the rise and progress of pianoforte manufacture, and still the most
extensive firm in Europe, having done
much for the social welfare of their
workmen, a complimentary gold medal. Exhibit grand pianos only, parallel strings. To Messrs. Steinway &
Sons, of New York, showing the greatest perfection in all three styles, grand,
square and upright, and new and valuable inventions, representing tJe greatest progress in the art of pianoforte
manufacture, a gold medal. All overstrung scale. To Messrs. Chickering &
Sons, Boston, for great perfection in
the old system of constructing grand
pianos, with parallel strings, a gold
medal. To Streicher, of Vienna, grand

piano with overstrung scales, after the
Steinway system, fourth gold medaL

LANSING CITY DIRECTORY.

The International Jury consisted of
seven gentlemen, the United States not
being represented. It is therefore a
matter of no little pride to the musical
public of America that the first and
second gold medals, in order of merit,
were awarded to this country. The
above is a synopsis of the report of
the Jury, which we shall give to our
readers as soon as officially published
and in our hands. We shall of course
confine ourselves strictly to the award
and doings of the Jury, decorations
and orders being outside and.personal
matters, without the slighest connection with the merits of the instruments
exhibited.
A cable telegram, dated Paris, July
14, informed the Messrs. Steinway &
Sons, of this city, that, in addition to
the First Gold Medal of Merit awarded to them by the International Jury
at the Universal Exposition, the Societr des Beaux Arts, after a careful examination and comparison of all the
pianofortes exhibited, awarded to
Messrs. Steinway & Sons their Grand
Testimonial Medal for greatest perfection and novelty of construction in
grand, square, and upright pianos.
This voluntary testimonial, from a society of such. high standing, is only
second in importance to the verdict of
the International Jury.-NY. Review.
MUSIC A' T HOME.
The last campaign of the pianofortemakers in Paris exhibits many amusing
traits. One of the funniest is undoubtedly the statement originating
from the fertile brain of the mouthpiece of Messrs. Chickering & Sons, in
New York, to the effect that our friend
Liszt, according to these disinterested
persons, had but two wishes in the
world, namely, to see Niagara Falls
and to play on a Chickering piano. We
can readily understand that Liszt
laughed heartily when he heard of this
little extravaganza; and we can also
understand that the attempt to make
his bust the means of a base reclame
met with his greatest displeasure, just
as it was looked upon by all respectabi European papers, a class which, as
a matfry of course, does not include
La France Musicale.

The attention of the people of Lansing and vicinity, is called to the advertisement of Messrs. Shattuck &
Murphy, who have taken rooms over
the store of D. G. Peck, and who propose to carry on the painting business
in all its branches. They are both
young men and good fellows, and we
most heartily wish them the success
their efforts most truly deserve.
The "Colton Dental Association"
have during *e past three years given
the celebrated Laughing Gas, to over
thirty thousand different patients, and
without accident, Dr. Rockwell, whose
advertisement will be found on this
page, has introduced and is using it in
this city, and with the experience of
2,000 cases, during a time of four
years, and with a new and improved
apparatus, will be found ready at all
times to operate for such as may
desire.
A& Call and see the names of those
who have taken it during the past few
months in this city, and be convinced.
"RicHnmoND's HnMSLsi AGAN."-Mr.
B. P. Richmond, has located himself
at the City Crockery store, where he is
prepared to do all kinds of work in
the jewelry line. Judging from the
past, we predict that the time is not
far distant, when he will be compelled
to procure larger quarters. All those
in want of anything in the line of repairing, engraving, &c., would do well
to leave their orders with him.
It is with pleasure that we refer our
eaders to the advertisement of Mr.
L. S. Jedison, of the "Union Market."
He has by strict and careful dealing
won for himself a reputation second
to none; and it is his intention to continue to merit a share of the public
patronage. " Jen" knows his business
thoroughly, and makes it a rule to
serve all alike. Those in want of anything in his line will do well to give
him a call.
The custom prevails in Russia of
cutting off the hair of a widow and
burying it with the body of her husband. So rigorously is it practiced,
that the blonde locks of the young and
beautiful Countess de Monry were not
Ntpared, though she was the wife of a
Frenchman. So exacting and barbarous a custom is almost enough to
make a widow wish her husband back
again.

LIFE.-Prior.
Thus we act; and thus we are,
Or toss'd by hope or sunk by care.
With endless pain this man pursues
What, if he gained, he could not use:
And t'other fondly hopes to see
Wbat never was nor e'er shall be.
We err by use, go wrong by rules,
In gesture grave, in action fools:
We join hypocrisy to pride,
Doubling the faults we strive to hide.
MAN.-A man that is temperate,
generous, valiant, Chaste, Faithful, and
honest, may at the same time, have
wit, humor, mirth, gooe-breeding, and
gallantry. While he exerts these latter qualities, twenty occasions might
be invented to show he is master of
the other noble virtues
RELIGION.-If we are told a man is
religious, we still ask, what are his
morals? But if we hear at first that
he has honest morals, and is a man of
natural justice and good temper, we
seldom think of the other question,
whether he be religious and devout?Shqftesbury.
AcQUAnTANCE.-W-hat makes us like
new acquaintances is not so much any
weariness of our old ones, or the
pleasure of change, as disgust at not
being sufficiently admired by those
who know us too well, and the hope of
being more so by those who do not
know so much of us.-La Rochefoncauld.
ACTING.-It is hard to personate and
act a part along; for where truth is
not at the bottom, nature will always
be endeavoring to return, and will peep
out and betray herself one time or other.- Tillotson.
CHARACTER -The best rules to form
a yourg man are, to talk little, to hear
much, to reflect alone upon what has
passed in company, to distrust one's
own opinions, and value others that
deserve it.-Sir William Temple.
ACQUIREMENT.-That which we acquire with the most difficulty we retain
the longest; as those who have earned
a fortune are usually more careful than
those who have inherited one.-Colton.
ACTING. There is no secret in the
heart which our actions do not disclose. The most consummate hoypocrite cannot at all times conceal the
workings of the mind.--From the
]French.
ACQUAINTANCE.-It is good discretion
not to make too much of any man at
the first; because one cannot hold out
that proportion.-Lord Bacon.

THE COUNTERFEIT SEVEN-THIRTIES.An employe in the secret service division of the Treasury Department gives
the following description of the counterfeit $1,000 notes of the second series of seven-thirties recently put into
circulation:
1st. The red seal in the counterfeit
is larger than in the genuine, as will be
seen by measurement, on folding one
of the notes through the seal. The
projecting star points on the edge of
the seal are blurred and uneven in
comparison, and the whole seal is
coarser than in the genuine.
2d. The border of the counterfeit is
blurred and indistinct, while in the
genuine the lathe-work is clear and
regular.
3d. The best test and one that will
enable any person familiar with bank
notes to throw out the counterfeit at
sight, is the border of the coupon. In
the genuine the star comes out very
clearly-in the counterfeit it is dark,
blurred and indistinct. A critical comparison of all the lathe-work of the
counterfeit and genuine (face and
back) under a magnifying glass, will
detect numerous points of difference,
as well as features in the counterfeit,
that would enable an expert, without
comparison, to condemn it.
4th. In the vignette on the genuine,
the arm of the female figure just touches the top of the P in "Pluribus."
while in the counterfeit the sleeve covers all but the lower part or stem of
the P.
THK COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.-The
Smithfield Times tells a story illustrative of the old saw, that cc the course
of true love never did run smoothe."
A young couple in Smithfield laid a
plan to outwit the vigilence of cruel
parents and elope. The sequel was
thus: the youth stood beneath the
window-the lady attempted to climb
out,--when, oh, horror, some one detained her from the rear! " Why dost
thou not come, gentle Amelia?" She
answered in an agitated voice, "I can't,
Bill, main's got hold of my tfilters!"
',Wonders never cease." And this
is particularly the case with Dart &
Davis' Store. We often wonder what
they ever intend to do with that enormous stock of Hardware!
jir So far as is known, the first
steam-whistle was made by a workman
named Adrian Stephens, at Dowlais,
England, about 1832, and fitted to one
of the boilers there as an alarm when
the water fell short.

HARDWARE.-As will be seen by ad
vertisement, the old firm of A. N. Hart
& Son, still continue to supply the market with every thing in this line. As
they have been long and favorably
known to the farmers and mechanics
in this vicinity, anything we might add
would be of but little avail; but we do
know that this firm is composed of
gentlemen of honor, and that they
will do all that they advertise. For
the truth of this, call upon them at
their well furnished store on Franklin

THE HAm TRADE.-The trade of the
world in human hair is chiefly supplied
from France; but Italy, Germany and
Belgium are rapidly coming into competition with her. Nunneries and other religious houses supply large quantities. The price of undressed"hair
varies from $4 50 to $6 a pound, whilst
in 1865 it was as high as $10 a pound.
In France 150,000 pounds of human
hair is sold annually, of which 30,000
pounds are exported. The sale of the
raw material and its value when worked into plaits and chignons or other
forms, represent the value of $16,000 -000 annually.
Charles Martin always keeps a full
supply of Curls, Waterfalls, Wigs,
Twists, Rolls, Toupees, and in fact,
everything pertaining to a first-class
Ladies' Hair Dressing Establishment.
THOSE IN WANT OF A HOME, will do
well to read the advertisefient of Mr.
C. C. Dodge. This gentleman is well
known to the citizens of this city, as
one of our most enterprising mechanics, and is also known to have erected
more buildings than any other man in
the place; but it is not to be wondered
at, for he has at times, as many as sixty
carpenters in his employ. He has recently connected the business of painting with that of building, and is prepared to attend to all calls in each
branch.
W A small boy out west one cold
day was assisting his father to mark
sheep with paint and brush. The father would catch a sheep and say to the
boy, " Mark that." After the job was
done the boy started for his home,
which was some distance, and overtaken by a minister on horseback, who
seeing the boy barefooted invited him
to ride behind him. After the lad was
seated he began to catechise him thus:
"My lad, do you attend Sabbath
School?"
" No," was the reply.
" You should attend the Sabbath
School, mark that! all good children
attend both Church and Sabbath
School, mark that!"
After many other things the minister
ordered the boy to do he replied:
"I've marked your back all over
now, and it looks like thunder I"
The reverend gentleman was somewhat astonished when he examined his
coat.

GUN SMITH SHoP.-The attention of
our readers is called to the advertisement of Mr. Fred Trostel, who has
recently restocked his place and is now
prepared to attend to all who may favor him with a call. Those in want of
anything in his line can do no better
than to give him a trial, as he is thoroughly conversant with the business,
having had a very large experience.
TIME IS EVERYTHING -We are pleased to see that Mr. Charles Shaffer still
continues to attend to the wants of
the community in regard to the matter
of time, and this is as it should be, for
we know of no one more competent.
He has had a large experience, having
been employed in several first-class
establishments. Mr. Shaffer warrants
his work, and cannot but add to the
very large run of patronage which he
already enjoys.
How TO ENJOY LIFE.-Hire one of
those fine buggies at Daniels & Parmenter's and take your wife and little

DENTIFRICES.
Preparations for cleansing and purifying the mouth should be free from
all acids, and contain as one of the
principal ingredients, an alkali (such
as enters into saponaceous substances),
to neutralize the acid, and destroy the
animal and vegetable parasites that are
secreted by the fluids of the mouth.
It has been found, by microscopical
examination, that the secretions of almost every person's mouth contain
more or less of vegetable and animal
life that will withstand the application
of acids and astringents, and will only succumb to alkalies, which not only
appear fatal, but a preventive to their
formation. The mouths of persons
who have been in the habit of using
soap freely, as a dentifrice, are completely free from these productions.
Every preparation, then, should contain this substance.
By no means use powdered charcoal

or [pummice-stone as a dentifrice.
These substances are the same that are
used to polish the surface of iron and
steel; they are insoluble, and so acrid
in their nature that, no matter how
fine you may reduce them, their little
grains will not only insinuate themselves between the neck of the tooth
and the gum, causing an irritation of
the parts which, in the end, may destroy the investing membrane of the
tooth, but scratch the surface of the
enamel. Not long since we had to remove the four upper incisors of a
young lady who had been in the habit
of using charcoal as a dentifrice, because their surfaces were seamed over
with minute black lines that could not
be erased, and the teeth loosened, and
the gums abraded and irritated from
its constant use. It would be well for
every one, before using a tooth-powder,
to see if it will scratch glass, moistened and rubbed over its surface. If so,
it will produce the same effect upon
the glossy, glass-like surface with
which God has covered the teeth. The
use of tooth-powder is to keep the
teeth clean, and not to change their
natural color. If the teeth are of a
dark or yellowish hue, they never can
be made white, except at the expense
of the material of which they are composed; any powder, then, which whitens such teeth, is only acting chemically, and therefore injuriously, upon
their structure.
THE EBIGHT MEN D THE R IGHT
PLACE."-This can be truly said of
Messrs. Esselstyn & Sons, who are
and have been engaged in the business
of selling Groceries. They are wideawake, hard working, active men, ever
ready to take advantage of any slight
decline of prices, and by so doing, are
enabled to sell at as low or lower figures than any other house in the city.
They also deliver goods to any part of
the cityfree; and thus save to the weary laborer many a heavy load that he
would otherwise be compelled to'
" tote " home in his basket. They always keep a full assortment of everything usually kept in an establishment
of this kind. "A word to the wise is
sufficient."
Mistress-" For goodness gracious
sake, Martha, go take that ridiculous

A clergyman, on a Sunday school
occasion, was speaking to a large audience of children, when he saw that
he must do something to rouse their
attention. Just then he had spoken of
Peter, so he paused, and asked if any
of the children could tell him anything
about Peter? but their mouths were
all closed. He appealed to the older
scholars-younger scholars, and then
at last he came to the youngest, and
he said, "come, now, little ones; shame
your elders, and tell me something
about Peter."
"I can," exclaimed a little four-year
old.
"Can you? that is a good girl.
Well, come right up here, and tell us
all that you know about Peter."
The little girl was passed forward to
the stage.
"Now," said the speaker, "let us
hear what you know about Peter.
Speak right out."
The little girl spoke:
"Peter, Peter, Pumpkin eater," etc.
Oh, dreadful fall. Had the speaker
spoken of St. Peter, perhaps the little
girl might have done better. But let
those who address children beware
how they trust those little minds, for
no one knows what associations he may
wake up.
PurER FUNK RoUTED.-The attention
of those in want of Clothing i- called
to the advertisement of Mr. D. G. Peck,
who has recently filled his store from
cellar to garret with the latest and
most fashionable styles; and we understand that it is his intention to sell them
at prices that bid defiance to the Peter Funk mock Auction Shoddyite concerns, that have been recently perambulating through the country. As it
behoves every man to support home
institutions, he cannot but meet with
the success that-he is justly entitled to.
Mr. T. W. Wescott presides over the
cutting and fitting department which
is a sufficient guarantee, and none
need have any fears as to perfect fitting garments.
A man boasted of having eaten forty-nine hard boiled eggs. "Why did
you not eat one more and make an even

To THE LADIES.-Your attention is
called to the advertisement of Mrs. C.
A. Northrop, who has opened rooms for
the purpose of carrying on the Millinery and Dress-Making business, in all
its branches. She is daily receiving
the latest and most fashionable styles
and patterns, and we have no hesitancy in recommending her to the attention of all who may wish anything in
that line.
NEW YORK CLOTHING STORE.-AS will
be seen by advertisement, Mr. Schadt
has purchased an interest in the above

mir A gentleman called on a rich
miser, and found him at the table endeavoring to catch a fly. Presently
he succeed in entrapping one, which
he immediately put into the sugar
bowl and shut down the cover. The
gentleman asked for an explanation of
this singular sport. "I'll tell you," replied the miser, a triumphant grin
overspreading his countenance as he
spoke, "I want to ascertain if the servants steal the sugar."
Esselstyn has a large lot of the finest sugars which he offers cheap.
A&, "Everything French is more
elegant than that of any other nation,"
says a Parisian enthusiastic chronicler.
* Even the crocodile brought from our

As a bit of self-complacency that will

Esselstyn has for sale the French

this is rest.

B The "local" of the Lynchburg,

Bridge street, underneath a new spoonbowl hat decked with a rooster feather,
inside of a tilting "skeert," bzfore a
huge water fall, having in her mouth a
cora-cob pipe, and in her arms a baby
about two months old. She looked
like she felt she was in Mehomet's
Seventh Heaven, and was just ready
to exclaim ' cut my strsps and let me
go to glory.' She was a curiosity."
Z A "Down-Easter" happening
a passenger on a Western steamboat
banks to witness the exciting scene:
but Yank, disdaining any proffered
help, reached the shore safely, remarking coolly as he did so, "He didn't
care a straw for himself, it was only a
danged old life insurance company he

for $5,000. House, Jones & Porter

LANSING CITY DIRECTORY.

CITY MEAT MAREET.-There is no
doubt in the mind of any one, that
when they see a person advertise liberally, deal honestly and uprightly by
all, they must succeed in whatever they
undertake. This fact has been fully
demonstrated in the case of Andrew
Bertch, Esq. He has by strict attention to business, and taking for his
motto the fact that a "nimble sixpence
is better than a slow shilling," succeeded in establishing a business in the
Meat line, that is not surpassed by any
in the State. His Market is always
supplied with the choicest of Meats,
fresh, salt and dried, poultry, sausage,
and in fact, everything that is usually
kept in first-class, well ordered shops.
This establishment is one of the oldest
in the city, and we understand that
his custom has always been increasing
from the first opening day, which
speaks well for him. To those who
have lately come to dwell with us, we
would say give him a call before purchasing elsewhere, and we do not think
that you will ever, by any lack of attention, or from quality of meats, regret the fact that you dealt with Andrew. We think our citizens, one and
all, will acknowledge that it is "the
place" above all others.
To THE FAMMERs AND MECHANICS.-It
is not our wish to dictate to you, but
simply advise. When you are about
to make a purchase, of any very great
magnitude, the question naturally arises: Where can I get the best and the
cheapest? We propose to prove to
you where those places can be found.
Buy of the men that advertise and you
will then have found the goal. They
are the live men, the business men,
the wideawakes. They always buy
cheap and sell cheap, and generally
take for their matto "Quick sales and
small profits." When you find a man
that does not advertise shun him.
They are the drones, and if let alone
will soon die out. This class of men
generally are not "posted," and buy
their goods either of "Peter Funk"
Auctioneers, or pay such exorbitant
prices for them that they cannot afford
to compete with the live business man.
There are, we are sorry to say, a few of
this class of men in Lansing. They
are a curse rather than a benefit, and if
you only will it, they will soon come to
the ignominious end which they so
richly deserve. Shun these "pennywise and pound-foolish" shave shops.
They are generally occupied by old
skin-flints that will not hesitate to cheat

you out of your hard-earned wages
with all the gusto imaginable.

And bring home my new pair of shoes.
It is not very oft that a favor I ask,
And this one you cannot refuse,
For you know that it costs but a very small
sum,
To purchase a new pair of shoes.
Then hurry, dear father, do pray hurry home,
No more of your precious time lose,
Oh, think of the cold, of your child and his
toes,
And pray hurry home with the shoes.
Oh, how can you bear the soul-thrilling tho't,
As you read in the papers the news,
That Johns & Bailey are selling so cheap,
Their stock of nice boots and fine shoes.
You know that my toes ore sticking right out,
Exposed to the winds and the dews,
Then don't you forget when home you return,
To bring me a new pair of shoes.
NEw STORE, NEW STocK.-This is the
case with Messrs. Johns & Bailey, who
have recently moved into their New
Store, on Washington Avenue, next
door south of Mead's Block. To those
who-visited the Fair recently held here,
we have but to say, that the beautiful
case of Boots and Shoes there on exhibition, was their handiwork. "The
proof of the pudding is in eating it."
See for yourselves.
FRANKUxN'S ADvICE.-If you would
purchase your wares at what they are
worth, avoid those shops sporting extravagant fronts and guilded furniture;
where they offer to supply you at less
than cost. These are used only as decoys; and sooner or later their patrons
will find to their sorrow, that they have
paid too dear for the whistle.
A QUAEnR WOMAN'S SERMoN.-My
dear friends there are four things that
I very much wonder at. The first,
that children should be so foolish as
to throw stones, clubs and brickbats
into fruit trees to knock down fruit.
If they would let it alone it would fall
itself. The second is, that men should
be so foolish as to go to war and kill
each other. If let alone they would
die themselves. The third and last
thing I wonder at is, that young men
should be so unwise as to go after
young women. If they would stop at
home the young women would come
after them. Why do people buy their
Groceries of men that will not deliver
them, when Miller sends them to any
part of the cityfree.

INGERSOLL's NEW STOR.-The new
Dry Goods Store of H. Ingersoll is now
completed, and is really a splendid establishment. It is the finest store in
the State, and being quite a novelty,
merits a description. Its size is 44 by
100 feet-double the size of any other
store in the city, and in addition to
this, a gallery is constructed across the
rear and sides, giving so much additional space for the display of goods;
also the shelves are wide enough to receive goods endwise. Thus holding
three or four times the usual quantity.
The gallery is reached by a circular
stairway at the rear. The store is entered by a door at each corner. The
front beteen the doors is filled by fou#'
plates of French plate glass, forming
a front unequalled by any store in
Michigan, and by very few in any large
city. A semicircular show case, forty
feet long, reaches from one door to the
other; back of this are two circular
counters, 66 feet in length, one of
which encloses circular shelves, and
the other surr(unds their office, cashier's and boc(k-keeper's desk. The
counters and dresser shelves are of
black walnut, and are supported by
large legs similar to a piano leg. The
Building is warmed by a furnace in the
basement, 12 feet in length, having a
perpendicular air chamber of tin,
reaching into the third story. Mr. Ingersoll designed and constructed this
store to accommodate his rapidly increasing trade, and it is his intention,
as he occupies the best store to keep
the best stock of goods in Michigan,
and to maintain an establishment,
which, for integrity, enterprise and fair

and Mr. Ingersoll is now in the eastern
markets making purchases for the winter trade.
W We would call ihe attention of
our readers who wish to know where
they can purchase pure Drugs and
Medicines, to the advertisement of
Messrs J. S. Tooker & Tillotson. We
were surprised on visiting their store
in the Lower Town the past week, to
find a Drug Store so well conducted
and with so large and well selected a
stock. With the neatness of arrangement, extent of stock, and the order
which prevails, we were particularly
pleased, and speak well for the proprietors, who are whole-souled gentlemen
and just the kind of men to succeed.
We take pleasure in recommending
all to go themselves and examine their

NEw FURNITURE ESTABLISHMENT.-AS
will be seen by our columns, Mr. Stuart has already reerected his establishment, which our readers will remember
was burned out one year ago, and is
now prepared to supply the trade with
anything in his line. Such energy and
perseverance as he has displayed deserves the most hearty support from
the community around, and we trust
the time is not far distant when he will
be compelled to enlarge his already
commodious works, in order to meet
his constantly increasing trade. This
is the fate of all advertisers.

a tender-hearted wife, as to comply

not to step upon her shadow.
CHARTER REFUSED.-The Masonic

recognized the peculiar institution of

BOSTON BOOT AND E E STORE.-Mr.
J. J. Brown has purchased the entire
stock of this establisment, and is now
prepared to supply our citizens and the
surrounding country with as good an
article and at as low prices, as can be
obtained at any similar establishment
in this State. We have seen samples
of work from his shop, and have no
hesitency in recommending him to the
attention of all.
THE INFLUENCE OF A WIFE.-A judicious wife is always snipping off from
her husband's moral nature, little twigs
that are growing in the wrong direction. She keeps him in shape by continual pruning. If you say anything
silly, she will affectionately tell you so.
If you declare that you will do some
absurd thing, she will find means of
preventing your doing it. And by far
the chief part of all the common sense
there is in this world belongs unquestionably to women. The wisest things
a man commonly does are those which
his wife counsels him to do. A wife is
the grand wielder of the moral pruning
knife. If Johnson's wife had lived,
there would have been no hoarding up
of orange peel-no touching all the
posts in walking along the streets-no
eating and drinking with a disgusting
voracity. If Oliver Goldsmith had
been married, he would never have
worn that memorable and ridiculous
coat. Whenever you find a man you
know little about, oddly dressed, or
talking absurdly, or exhibiting any eccentricity of manner, you may be tolerably sure that he is not a married man;
for the corners are rounded off-the
little shoots are pruned away, in married men. Wives generally have much
more sense than their husbands, especially when their husbands are clever
men. The wife's advices are like the
ballast that keeps the ship steady; they
are the wholesome, though painful
shears, snipping off little growths of
self conceit. And for all this care and
devotion you cannot refuse to buy your
wife one of those elegant Hoop Skirts
at Mrs. C. Shumway's.
a A lover wrote a letter to a lady
who rejected him, saying he intended
to retire "to some secluded spot, and
breathe away his life in sighs." To
which the lady replied, by inquiring
whether they were to be medium or
large size. The man has not since
been heard from.

LANSINO CITY MILLs.-Having business at Lower Town one day last week,
we called at the above named Mills,
and were surprised at the improvements which we saw. This Mill was
but recently erected, and contains all
of the modern improvements, among
which we noticed a patent Separator,
by which they are enabled to clean
wheat of all kinds of dirt, sticks, cockle, etc. Mr. Hart feels confident that
he can manufacture as good flour if
not better, than any other Mill in the
State; and when it is known that
Messrs. Bertran & Skinner are in his
employ, none will doubt his statement.
He delivers flour and feed to any part
of the city free.
WmHI AND, GLOVE FArTORY.-As will
be seen by an advertisement in our columns, Mr. E. R. Thompson, has
opened an establishment of this kind,
and we understand is meeting with the
most flattering success. This is as it
should be, for we know that he thoroughly understands his business. Support home manufacture, when it is to
your interest t) do so, more particularly.
BIr From Ingelhart's Photograph
Gallery the latest news is that he still
continues to carry on the picture business in all itsbranches. His flattering
success in this city, depends not so
much on his splendidly arranged Gallery, as it does upon his long experience in the business, and ten years of
constant practice in the art of making
pictures; though we venture to say,
his sky-light and operating rooms are
second to none in the country, and his
reception rooms quite in keeping with
a well regulated Gallery. See his card
in another column.
*- A literary announcement lately
made, runs thus: "Our readers will
be obliged to us for drawing their attention to some Sa: scrit works which will
shortly appear. We have not read the
books ourselves, but, if their contents
are as interesting as their titles, their
perusal must be the acme of delight.
Their titles are: ' Swapants:hakschavimahamautrastotra.' ' Triguaatmixakdtlikastora.' ' Mpangalalitkvratodyapana.' Sanakarchatatchturthiv) atodyapna.' ' Anantatachaturdaricratakatha,' and ' Wougotobgohokepokeinerechingerewankafom."
A. J. Viele has a large supply of all
the standard works, which he offers to
the public at very low figures.

THE Evas OF INTERMARRYINC.--A.
melancholly case of the evils of intermarrying has lately occurred. We give
the story in the sufferer's own words:
" I married a widow who had a grownup daughter. My father visited my
house very often, fell in love with my
step-daughter and married her. So
my father became my own son-in-law,
and my step-daughter became my
mother, because she was my father's
wife. sometime afterward my wife had
a son-he was brother to my stepmother. My father's wife, i. e., my
step-daughter, also had a son; he was,
of course, my brother, and in the mean
time my grand-child, for he was the
son of my daughter. My wife was my
grand-mother, because she was my
mother's mother. I was my wife's husband and grand-child at the same
time. And as the husband of a person's grand-mother is the grand-father,
I was my own grand-father." After
fully convincing himself of the immutability of the above facts, the victim,
in a fit of despondency, cut his throat
with a boiled turnip. In this connection it might be well to add, if there
is any others who may wish to repeat
the experiment, that H. B. Arms
keeps all kinds of country produce.
NEw GROCERY STORE.-r. H. B.
Arms has opened a store of this kind,
on Michigan Avenue, East; and although it has not been long established,
it bids fair to eclipse all others of the
kind in the city. Mr. A. is an affable
salesman, and has stocked his store
with such an enormous quantity of
goods, that one always knows where
to find anything they may want. We
heartily wish him success, for we know
that he deserves it.
At& A young fellow, whose better
half had just presented him with a
pair of bouncing twins, attended
church one Sunday. During the discourse the clergyman looked right at
our innocent friend, and said, in a tone
of thrilling eloquence, "Young man,
you have an important responsibility
thrust upon you." The newly-fledged
dad, supposing the preacher alluded
to his peculiar home event, considerably startled the audience by exclaiming, "Yes, I have two of 'em." And
now he buys his groceries of H. B.
Arms, on Michigan Avenue, for the
reason that his prices are low.

OUR CITY.
Come and see our lovely city,
All hemmed in by woods,-a pity,
Graded streets, and walks all oaken,
Here you can dwell in peace unbroken;
Dearest Homes with yards around them,
Thanks to Heaven, most here have found
them;
Gardens, too, with fruits and flowerF,
Cherished loves, we call them "Ours."
Here no squalid, homeless creatures
With begrimmed, distorted features,
Children born midst rags and sorrow,
Bred to beg and steal and borrow.
Here an endless crowd of churches,
Where are taught the usual virtues,
Various colleges and schools,
Wh3re wise men are made,-not fools
Here retired from all temptation,
Meet the wise for Legislation;
Here the Female College stands,
Here the Agricultural lands:
Here's the school for Reformation,
For the truants of the nation,
Also "Union Schools" for all,
With quite two thousand great and small
Here are Mills and Factories running,
Doing work both wise and cunning;
Here are craftsmen skilled and true,
Masters, workmen, all for you;
Here intelligence combine
All that's found in every clime,
From Ohio's fertile sand,
From New York and Fatherland.
From Old England's robust health,
From artistic France, her wealth,
From Italy's sunny bills
And the busy Prussian mills;
From New England's rugged soil,
From green Erin's Isle-in toil,
From the Prairies ot the West,
Come their sons to make us blest.
All harmonious work as one,
Father, mother, sister, son,
Come to build a model town
And improve the country round.
Then friends aid, and help our labors,
And thus prove yourselves our neighbors,
Help improvements now advancingBuy your merchandise in Lansing.
AUCTION! AvCTION!!-As will be seen
by the advertisement of Messrs. O. A.
Jenison & Co., we have now in our
city, a large and well filled store, where
goods are disposed of at both auction
and private sale. This is an institution that we have long felt the need of,
and now that Mr. Jenison has succeeded in establishing a place of this kind,
our citizens and farmers must consider
it one of their first duties to see that
he does not have cause to regret his
undertaking this most needed enterprise. There will be auction sales two
evenings in each week; probably Wednesdays and Saturdays. As "Jen" is
well known to our citizens; we think it
a sufficient recommend that everything
will be none on the "square," and besides he warrants his goods to be just
as represented.

I DO'T forget that Stoves are down!

displayed in rebuilding their shops, entitles them to more than ordinary support, and we trust that our citizens
who are in want of anything in their
line will give them a call, for we know
that you will not regret it. Success to
you, gentlemen.
s- The oldest remnant of mortality extant, is the skeleton of one of the
earlier Pharaohs, incased in its original burial robes, and wonderfully perfect, considering its age, which was
about eighteen months ago in the British Museum, and is justly considered
the most valuable of its arcmological
treasures. The lid of the coffin which
contained the royal mummy was inscribed with the name of its occupant,
Pharaoh Mykerimus, who succeeded
the heir of the builder of the great
Pyramid about two centuries before
Christ. Only think of it-the monarch
whose crumbling bones and leathery
integuments are now exciting the wonders of numerous gazers in London,
reigned in Egypt before Abraham was
born, and only about two centuries or
so after Mizraim, the grandson of old
Father Noah, and the first of the Pharaohs had been gathered to his fathers.

THE PRESIDENTS.
There have been seventeen Presidents, and thus far, no "impeachments." The subjoined scrap-the
work of an unknown bard-gives the
list of all who have been Presidents,
and the order in which they occupied
the chair:
Great Washington was number one;
Then Senator Adams next came on.
Jefferson made the number threeThen Madison, the fourth was he.
Monroe the fitth to him succeeds;
And sixth, the junior Adams leads.
Then seventh, Andrew Jackson came;
And eight we count Van Buren's name.
Then Harrison made number nine -
And tenth, John Tyler filled the line.
Polk was the eleventh as we know,
And twelfth was Tyler in the row.
Fillmore, the thirteenth, took his placeAnd Pierce was fourteenth in the race.
Buchanan, the fifteenth, is seen;
Then Lincoln, as sixteenth, came in.
Johnson, the seventeeath, and last,
Still lives to close the illustrious past.
Now let us stop until we see
Who our next President will be.
Fu1RNITURE.-Those in want of anything in this line will do well to call on
Mr. Buck, for, as will be seen by his
advertisement, he always keeps a large
and complete assortment of everything
in that lime. Those in search of low
prices and good work, would do well
to give him a call, as he is pledged to
sell as low as the lowest.
A FEW THINGS THAT OU CITIZENS MAY
EE Jr STLY PROUD oF.-Our Agricultural
College, the pride of the farmer; the
Female College, one of the best con-'
ducted institutions of learing for Females, in the West; the Commercial
College, under the immediate supervision of Mr. P. S. Bartlett; Conservatory of Music, under the management
of Mr. A. J. Yelie, at Velie's Music
Hall; the Young Men's Society, an organization which is giving to our citizens one of the best course of Lectures
ever brought before a Lansing audience; Lansing High School, under the
charge of that popular and efficient
teacher, Mr. M. V. Rork; the Central
Michigan Agricultural Society, yet in
its infancy, but whose exhibitions are
second to none in the State; the Brass
Band, which can safely claim to be one
of the best in the State, and we challenge any town to produce an organization with the same number of instruments that can compete with them;
two of the best Water Powers in the
State, one of which is unimproved
however, but we are informed that a
company is about to be organized
which will commence the erection of
Mills, etc., the coming season; one of
the finest Block of Stores in the State;

which is under the control of Mr. T.
W. Wescott, who, although but recently called upon to fill the responsible
position of Chief Engineer, has already
won for himself the esteem and regard
of all our citizens, and there is no city
that has as large a Department, that
can show a more orderly, gentlemanly,

company-ever ready in the hour of

stay its fiery progress; and last, but
not least, that magnificent structure
called the "LANsIiG HOUsE." Now
that it is known that Mr. M. Hudson
has taken charge of it, has also become
one of the " sights " which we are all
proud to point out to the notice of the

A VERY CLOSE MAxN.-Not many years
since, in West Plymouth, it used to be
the custom for the schoolmaster to
" board around" among the families of
his pupils, so as to save expenses.
Sometimes, of course, the days did not
come out quite even-there would be
eight days and a half at one place and
nine at another. One man who 'was
notorious for his meanness, just before
the scholmaster began his dinner, said
to him: " Mr. --, I suppose by
rights, your time is up just about half
way through this dinner. That's as
near as I kin calculate, and I've calculated pretty close. But I don't wish
to be small about it, and you kin eat
just about as much as you do for ordinary!"
It is a known fact that this man buys
his groceries of men that do not advertise, and by so doing is compelled
to be economical in this mean close
way. _____

in an interior city, not long since, a

better eat something else first.

traveling constantly, selling goods, their
sales are probably higher than any
other house of the kind in the city.
By this means they have to keep refilling with a new stock, which will always
give their customers a chance to select
from articles fresh from the manufactory, so that none need have any fear
of having old worn out shelf goods
palmed off upon them.
To THE READERS OF THE LANSING CITY
DIRECTORY:-Mrs. L. Whelan, from
Brockport, New York, desires to say
that she has in her establishment, opposite the Lansing Republican Office,
all that is required to furnish a first
class institution of Millinery and Ladies Faiy Goods. In worsted work,
Miss Lippla, her associate, has no superior. Miss Hyde, also in Mrs. Whelan's employ as a trimmer, stands at
the head of her profession, in all that
pertains to elegance and taste, that
most indispensable requisite to success
in a business like hers. With jan experience of years in the business, and
in view of the above facts, together
with a determination to please all, Mrs.
Whelan hopes to gain public patronage in Lansing.
DRAFTING.--The attention of our
readers is directed to the advertisement of I. Gillett, Jr., to be found in
another column. This gentleman is
thoroughly conversant with the business, and would be happy to see those
who may want anything of this kind
done, at his residence on Capital Avenue, four doors south of Shiawassee
street, where can be seen specimens of
his skill.
s1' A printer having been "flung " by
his sweetheart, went to the office to

EUrEKA! EUR-KA!!-Is the explanation of all who have had occasion to
call at the shop of M. S. Baker, and it
is but a just tribute to the energy which
he has ever displayed, when we say
that there is not another shop in the
State, that can with more propriety
lay claim to the name of the "Eureka
Foundry." Mr. Baker has filled up
his shop with the best of machinery,
so that he is enabled to do any and all
kinds of work that properly belong to
this kind of business, and to all visiting our -beautiful city, we would ask
you to examine the iron work upon
our magnificent Hotel, or the work
which adorns the palatial Stores on
Washington Avenue. This is in itself
a sufficient recommend, but should you
require further proof of his ability to
do all that he advertises, and more,
call at his works, one block west of the
Lansing House, on the corner of Washtenaw street and Capitol Avenue.
Sii Among the numerous attractions of which our young and everprising city can boast, there is none
more popular than the new and elegant Photographic establishment of
Mr. B. F. Hall, located at 118 Washington Avenue. Although these rooms
have been open for business but a few
weeks, they have already attained a
wide-spread celebrity and popularity
in consequence of the excellence of the
pictures issued from them. Mr. Hall
has spared no expense to make his
Gallery one of the best in the State,
and coming as he does with years of
experience in the largest Gallery of
New York city, he is enabled to introduce many pleasing features which
have been hitherto unknown in this
part of the country. All the latest improvements, in instruments, apparatus,
and accessories are to be found here,
and we assure our friends that all the
portraits, both large and small, executed at these rooms, evince a degree of
artistic taste and ability seldom found
outside of the largest and oldest cities.
An important branch, and one to
which the proprietor intends to devote
especial attention is that of copying
old likenesses into Photographs. He
has instruments l5eculiarly adapted to
that purpose, and what copies we have
seen of his execution are certainly triumphs of the art.
Mr. Hall's advertisement appears in
another column to which we would invite particular attention.

Reorganization of the State Insurance Co.
The State Insurance Company was
first organized as a Mutual and Stock
Company, but has issued no Mutual
policies for the past two years, and it
has been the wish of the stockholders
to get rid of the Mutual branch of the
business. In order to do so it was
found to be necessary to obtain a new
charter. Within the past month such
new charter has been'approved by the
Attorney General, and a thorough reorganization is being effected, that will
make it a strictly Stock Company.
By a provision in the new charter,
the Company as organized, assume all
the franchises and rights together with
all the duties 6nd liabilities of the old
State Insurance Company. Thus protecting the rights of all holders of policies heretofore issued.
In reorganizing the Company, special reference was had to an act of the
Legislature, passed at its last session,
and a full compliance with its provisions has been made.
The capital stock of the Company is
$100,000, which', by the charter, can be
increased to $1,000,000 if it should become necessary.
The officers of the Company intend
to pursue the same plan heretofore acted upon, of insuring nothing but first
class risks, such as farm property and
isolated village residences, hoping
thereby to make the State Insurance
Company second to none in the country.

The gift is sacred, and cannot be refused. The expense of keeping the
huge creature, in the grand state which
is obligatory on the Hindoo by his religion, is so enormous that the unfortunate recipient of the gift is ruined
out of hand by the honor. In India
there is, therefore, no more efficacious
way of wiping out a public man
than in heaping a costly honor upon
him.
XIvusc.-It may not be generally
known that Lansing can now boast of
having one of the best Brass Bands in
the State; but such is the case, and we
challenge any other town to produce a
band with the same number of instruments that can compete with them.

To OUR PATRONS.-We thank you for
the liberal manner in which you have
come forward and assisted us in making
this book what it is. When we commenced canvassing the city for this
work, we did not think it possible to
obtain names enough to more than fill
a book of half its size; but we were
most happily disappointed. Had we
taken into consideration the spirit of
enterprise that has ever characterized
the merchants and manufacturers of
our lovely city, we might have made a
far more liberal estimate. As will be
seen by the title-page, we intend to issue this work semi-annually, each
edition, as in the present case, to be
complete in itself; and it has been our
sole aim to make this work worthy of
the support and attention of all; but
if we have failed, believe us, it is not
from any wish or desire on our part,
but simply want of ability. As we all
profit by experience, or at least should,
we think that in our next edition we
can improve in many things, and present to our patrons a more complete
Directory, than the present number.
Hoping that you,'one and all, will have
no reason to regret that you were induced to support this work, and that
in the future you will have more than
felt the importance of liberally advertising, I will again most heartily thank
you, and wish you that success, which
you by your untiring efforts, are justly
entitled to.
