THE EXPOSITOR) uA., oiJBSCRIPTMM PRICK —IN' AMfANCI: Two Dollars per Annum. ■ mi —■——'■——— - •* —•**- -' ■- THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1873. . 'V GIRLS. Girls are marvels of beiuty, and won derfully made. Though fashioned by the bands of the Creator they are shap ed by the dressmaker and milliners. It takes exactly one hundred and eleven pounds of flesh and blood, thirty-two yarda of dress material, ninoty-sevcu yards of yellow ribbon, twelve ounces of cotton, twenty-four copies of the Coach, aixtoen feet of horse hair, thirty three ounces of dour, two boxes of red paint, and a bottlo of night blooming seriousness to prepare the average Hooky Mountain girl for church. They know less in an hour and oan tell more in a minute than any other persoq on earth. Their strong suit is to make trouble and bustles, and the proficiency they have acquired is the couundrum of the age. In a game of talk they invariably hold the ' right bower, or take the ace with the king. They are totally ignorant of the rules of civilized warfare, and never let up when they get a fellow down. A girl can look pretty and ugly, hap py and sorrowful, hot and cold, sweet and sour, sentimental and disgusted, in teu seconds, and the only place in the world where boys have the best of them is in sitting up of nights. Yet with all their fa tits we love them still, and a few more of our photographs may be bad by addressing the driver and en closing fifty oents. Marriage proposals must be prepaid. An Item from the Land of Silence. —The Howard County Record, Peru, Howard County, Kansas, now about one year old, is edited and printed and published by a real dummy, with the assistance of a young lady, totally deaf, but capable of articulating and reading on the lips, and who, strangest of all (?), never went to school until twenty two years of age. The editor aud pub lisher of th o Record, when a mere boy. made bold, in face of the greater edito rial brains all around him, so issue No. 1, and that was the only number that ever saw the light of day, of the Boob toonn, a 10x6 inches sheet, intended for the especial peru al of the beloved teacher. From the summer of 1864 till the winter following, he edited and published the Observer, at Baldwin City, Douglas County, Kansas, in conjunc tion with his fellow-sufferer and life time friend, Mr. George W. HolliDg vrorth, who, in 1870, to that bourne wbenoo no traveler returns. He acted as editor of the Deaf-Mute Home Circle , Omaha, Neb., while it was pub lished by the semi-mute principal of the Nebraska asylum for mutes located in that city. Ho next published the Prai rie Banner at Loo’s Summit, Mo., a wee email print neutral in politics and reli gion, and continued it for six months, under embarrassments not work speak ing of. The Record, has a column, more or less, under the head of the “The Educated Deaf-Mute,” which is edited by John Smith, a true dummy. A western travelc- suggests anew sleeping-car regulation, which shall pro - j hibit porters from extracting a passen ger’s well polished boots from under his pillow, and charging tweuty-fivo oents for Betting them in front of his bunk. Rev. Dr Goodspeed, of Chicago, said in the course of bis last Sunday’s ser mon : “The devil understood what was necessary to blast Eden, when be led the woman to be false to God, to herself, and to her husband. A bad woman, an untrue woman, is the prime corrupter of society, and the destroyor of its peace.” An industrious correspondent of the Now York Sun down in Washington has discovered that Mr. Mullett, Super vising Architect of the Treasury, has been drawing mileage at the rate of ten cents a mile while traveling about the country on a free pass furnished him as special agent of the post office depart ment. Every man connected with the administration appears to think more of his own pocket than anything else. ADVERTISE IN the EXPOSITOR.’ ! “The Expositor” Adv.

Newspapers, Mu gazin es,Etc. Prospectus for 1873—Sixth Year, THE AI DINE, An Illtdrald Uoutlily Journal, universallv admitted to be the Handsomest IViifttliral in the World. A IleprewmtidiTe and Ciiampiim of Ameiicta Taste. Not for Sale In Book or News Stores, THE ALDTNIi, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; unii a collection of pictures the rarest specimens of arti.-tic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh ploasuro to its friend*, the rout value and beauty of The Aldinc will be most ap preciated after it has boon hound up at the elnso of (ho year. bile othor publications may claim superior obea pnes* r od with rivals of a similar class, The Alainc is a uniuue and original conception—alone and unapprnaehed—absolutely without competition in price or character. The possessor of a complote volume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape, or nurnhor of volumes for ten times its cost; and then , there arc the ohromo e, besides! AJR.T XDEFA.’R.TJVThidSrT- Notwithstnnding the inereaso in the prioo of subscription last Fall, when The Aldinc assumes its pre.-ent noble proportions and representative character, the edition teas more (hail doubled during the past year; proving that the Ameri can public appreciate, and will support a sin cere effort in the cause of Art. The publishers, anxious to justify the ready confidence thus demonstrated, have exerted themselves to the utmost to develop and improve the work; and tho plans for the coming year, as unfolded by tho monthly issues, will astonish and delight oven tho most sanguine friends of The Aldinc. Tho publishers are authorised to announce de signs from many of the most eminent artiste in America. • In addition, The Aldine will reproduce ex amples of the best foreign masters, selected with a view to the highcri artistic success, and great est genera 1 interest; avoiding such as have be come familiar, through photographs, or copies of any kind. Tho quarterly tinted plates, for 1873 will re produce four of John S. Davis’ inimitable child sketebes, appropriate to the four seasons. These plates, appeuring in tho issues for January, April, July, and October, would be alone worth the price of a year’s subscription. The popular featuro of a copiously illustrated “Christmas” number will bo continued. To possess such a valuable epitome of the art world at a cost so trifling, will command the subscriptions of thousands in every section of tho country ; but, as the usefulness and attrac tions of The Aldine cun be enhanced, in propor tion to the numerical increase of its supporters, the publishers propose to mako “assurance doubly sure,” by the following unparalleled offer of Premium thromns for 187 3. Every subscriber to The Aldine, who pays in ad vance for tho year 1873, will receive, without addi tional charge, a pair of be*utifnl oil chromes, after •T. J. Hill, the eminent English painter. The pic tures, entitled “The Village Belle,” nnd “Crossing tho Moor,” are 14x20 inches—are printed from 26 different plates, requiring 25 impressions and tints to perfect each picture. The same cliromos are sold for S3O per pair i:i the art stores. As it is the determination of its conductors to keep The. Aldinc out of the reach of competition in every depart ment, the chromes will he found correspondingly ahead of any that can be offered by other periodi cals. Every’ subscriber will receive certificate, over the signature of the publisher uuranlccinq that the cliromos delivered shall ou il 1 1 the samples furnished the agent, ort I will be refunded. The distribution of picture rgrade, freo to the subscriliers to a five dob i , eriodical, will mark an epoch in the history of Art; and, con sidering the unprecedented cheapness of the price for The Aldine itself, the marvel falls little short of a miraclo, even to those best acquainted with the achievements of Inventive genius and Improved mechanical appliances. (For illustrations of these cliromos, see N ivember issue of The Aldine.
