Mr. Cerbln had (.".preferred te the blessings and benefits that $bA fallen upon New Yerk from the tracks of the elevated reads, but Mr. .:! Jeshua L. 13ally, chairman of the citl- ;W;. , sens' commlttee,netes that property nleng these tracks has in many cases been greatly depreciated in value, and where it has advanced, has still been below the yalue of property net passed by the tracks. Tin alv netn.4 that wlilln tlin fftNew Yerk reads are llgbt,aud built with pedal view te quiet and smooth rim nlng with little smoke, the Cerbln read 'will be for eighty-ten engines nnd full grown trains. Tracks at grade have long bees tolerated by I'iilladelphlaiis, out of consideration for the peer and struggling rival of the Pennsylvania read, but new that the Beading is en its feet, Mr. Bally and his friends are disposed te correct 'fSy the impression that the streets may be ,5t, 'vuwd as the village reads et a small way union. 'Bat the climax of Mr. Bully's reply Is in the announcement that this same man who speaks ee disparagingly of under ground reads is president of a read of the kind in New Yerk which he proposes te extend through that city and uuderthe East Elver. Mr. Cerbin said : " We cannot afford te take any position among we people or we city or L'mlstleiphla that leeks te tbMnjur6r their proper ty almply thairmay' benefit the railroad Ry. i.eeapany" Mr. Bally compares this f-iethe " actual course of Mr. Cerhln's mpany, who nt the very moment he was writing this letter, probably, sent "950 men by night into a neighboring city te tear up the straets, in violation of all public rights. " It is plain that Mr. Cerbln is well understood and the proper value given te his assertions since his experience with the congressional committee and his triklng men. Beld Testimony. " The congressional committee has been favored with the testimony of Mr. PJnglcr and Mr. Archbold, of the Standard Oil Trust. According te these witnesses nothinglceuld be mere innocent than their corporation. They admitted that it was big, having ninety millions et stock, with a market value et $100 for n hundred dol lar share, or a total of $141,000,000. The dividends of 1SS7 were ten per cent. The average dividend had Leen seven percent aad the earnings thirteen. The trust . was net interested in gas-making, or in horse car lines, or in the cottonseed trust. It has an interest in one or two natural tfai companies. It controls seventy. . fire per cent, of the oil business. It baa enjoyed rebates, but ether people eeuld have had the same, and no divi dend was made with railroad officers. Its success was due te business ability jind the assaults upon it were by Bere heads, and the jaen who charged it with corrupt dealings with railroad efu:era should be prosecuted for libel. And se they should; nnd if their wit neases swore te the truth they should hasten te prosecute their mallguers. As they are et this opinion, why de they net de it ? It Is safe te say that very few ' people will believe that the Standard Oil TTnwt has reached its present proportions by fair dealing and through business acumen only. It Js a very bold thing for lta members te make such n statement. That it has enjoyed railroad freight rateB Which Its rivals could net reach is a fact which it takes a deal of hardihood te deny. Ne testimony from men willing te make such a statement will command credence. 'et Satisfied. The Ilarrlsburg Ttltgraph Is net satif- fled with the nomination of Judge Mitch- ell for the supreme bench. It has a dozen " Masens for objection which It thinks f it net worth whlle te offer, as ' it would de no geed ;" but expresses its belief that 'Philadelphia theueht and centiment will mere than ever mould supreme court decisions te their detriment. We believe that tbe general sentiment of thettate will sustain the Ttltgraph In Its objection te this nomination, when it was necessary te take off the supreme bench be geed a judge as Gorden te give his place te a Philadelphia common pleas Judge, of no specially develercd judicial 'capability. Beth are Republicans, and our oplnien'is net apartUan one. It Is undoubtedly the public judgment that a geed judge should be kept en the bench through Ills j ears of usefulness. The Democracy have often shown their re- Svr- apect for this opinion by endorsing lie- '. publican Judges. Judge Gorden was en- fcj'V djrsed for renomlnatlen by the mem- I -; BJrs of the Lancaster bar nenerallv. h sj of both pirtiea.

JXiiu !- .it Thatr.CBalrnanship, It is eaid that the resolution concern ing the committee chairmanship nt the Ilarrlsuurg convention was net adopted by the convention after it had been permanently organized, and that it therefore will net be effective. The clerks of the convention say it was, bni the newspaper corre. pendents declare that oil the action taken was by the temporary organiza tion. It does net make mueh differ ence, probably ; save that it gives op portunity In the future for Chairman Cooper te hnng en if he cheeses, and te refer the matter td the next state convention ; which, it will be noted, will be anyway the deciding au thority as te the chairman for next year. It can put Andrews out, however he was chosen by this convention. The fight that Quay has started, te boas the party te the exclusion of Cameren, is likely te bring that gentleman into the field te protect his prerogative. He has bad no ne no tlce served en him te stand aside ; which he is net likely te de unless he finds that he must; and the consequence is likely te be n lively party fight for the control of the next convention. Ever Ancient and Krcr New. In the account of the Arber Day exer cises nt the high schools yesterday will be found a very thoughtful address by Principal McCaskcy, in which he makes use of an extract from the Lancaster iNTrLUOENCEn of April SO, 1800, en the subject of the needfulness of tree planting. In quaint nnd earnest manner the sanie leraen is enforced which the iKTKLLiOENCcn of today essays te teach.

At least 1 mytelf never feel half antltfiedin looking at anything et thehlitery and making of which I am ignorant Ne matter what It It, I ein appreciate it only If I knew some thing at leait about ft Beginning with the biggest," thore are photogravures, that Is, reproductions el paintings, or Bometlmcs engravlngs, by a preceis very mueh cheoper and almost as satisfactory as engraving. Ot really line photogravures, tbe French firm et Oeupll may almost be eald te have tbe monopoly. If you want te see one of the ytty finest specimens I have, even seen, leek at the large and beautiful picture entitled " Peet ana Peasant," or ask te ace " The Hera geet," or " The Gleaming." 1 have never ecu an engraving that brought out the color eflect of the original elU paintings as Is dene in these by tbe photegravuro pro pre ces, which la a peculiar combination of photography and engraving. Owing espe cially te lta eheapnes, It la style of pte ture that Is becoming very pepula-. Cer tainly I should every tlme prefer a geed photogravure te an indlilereut engraving. And you can get a geed ene for about half, or evon less than half, what an eugravlng of corresponding quality would ccs. Of all the varlcns kinds of engraving the pnre line engravlug en steel Is ccnldercd the highest In artutle rank, it Is made precisely llke a Hue line drawing, only that a perfectly ever', smooth, nnd pellahed steel plate Is uaed umtead of paper, and Instead of pencil or cmvcii, the " burin" a triangular red of tempered steel ground te a point, and the "dry point," n highly tern pored atcul nccdle with a handle. This latter Is used Jer tlie liner lints nnd nienl delloate work. With Ihoie the plritun Is engraved upon the plate by hand. Usually the picture Is Urst drawn hi the rough upon the plateand thoeoarsor lltmi eaten out by the use el an relit. Tlien thtae bread inncseH are worked up rarefully with the burin nnd dry point.

Let me tell you ttnt about the process of XSTOEaiLIGEiyCEIl, SATURDAY, ATItrL 28, 188& etching Itself, Mdeawltad by Mr. Kiaekasr. "A polished oepper plate la ceveredwllh a ground of vsrnUh prepared for lae pur pose, and upon It the design la drawn, line for line, u It is Intended te appear en paper, with a sharp needle which scratches through tbe varnish te the.'plate and leaves the metal tare. When the design la com pleted tbe surface of the plate is Heeded with aquafertis. This attacks tbe spots laid bare by the needle, without penetrating where the vsrnlab is untouched, and bites Inte the copper. When tbe Oner linns are deep enough tbe acid la poured cfT, and they are covered or stepped out with var nlsn. The ecid is applied again and again In this way, biting tht lines te the depth re. quired.the heaviest and strongest lines naturally receiving the most biting. The etcher's eye and hla knowledge are bis only snides In this precesa, and a miscalcu lation In the strength of tbe acid or the time It Is permitted te remain en tbe plate btten ruins a fine work." Then tbe artist usually gives the lines some finishing touches with the dry point. Seme etchers Indeed make almost the whole ploture with tbe dry point alone. The lines thus treated reoelve a burr, or raised edge, from the plowing up of the metal by the needle, wblch gives a peculiar softness te their edges in printing. In ordinary engraving this bnrr la carefully polished away, After the plate Is ready, the Ink is daubed evor II, and carefully wined off, as en an engraving, except that much of the ctleet depends upon the manipulation of the Plata Fer instance special effects are pro duced by leaving a thin film of Ink ever portions of the plate ') In this way tbe deli cate shades of sky and water, and rich sweeps of shadow are made. Or Ink of dIUerent degrees of tblcknesa Is used for tbe heavier and the fainter lines. In all' this the printer must depeud upon hit ar ar tUlle sense. After coming from the press etchings mutt be very carefully dried is thetnk Is brought out In hoary masses and rldgce. and la easily rubbed and smeared bolore It is perfectly dry or set The eame grades et proofs are made el etchings as of eugravingr. .Themctt valuable of all etchings are the Kematk Proofs of original designs, called "Palnter Etching." Tbey have nil the value of original work, showing the spirit nud methods et the artist Just as a skoteh or painting would. Their value la atlll lurtner euuanced If they are American cepy-rlghtF, ns then they cannot be repro duced, aud are npt te increase In market value from year te year. Mr. IHrr has among his most recent etchings several Painter Eichlnosergreal beauty by artists like Hamilton, Van Klten, Mellows. Menk, Mlelnlr. and ethers m famous.

Among the best cf enr ropro repro ropre duclivo etchers are NUIrlaw, Ferris, King, Parrlab, Hamilton and a few ethors. Mr. Ilarr has, or had the ethor day, two little Ilemnrk Prcefi nf copyrighted painter etchings which te my mind are nmcnsf the tlnest 1 have ever neon. The first Is by Mlelalz entitled When the day lengthens tbe cold strengthens," nnd tbe ether " On the Ht. CJlalr," by Katen. "Stepping Stones " Is ene of the most recent aud flnr st reproductive etchings ; and 'I llke " The Ulenuers," uy King, very much tee. Ityeuwant te see for yourself the dlffer dlffer dlffer once betwoen a genuinely geed etching and a deeldcdly Inferior one, Just compare ene of these with several ethers he has In the store, for example with the ene called " The Hanging of the Crane."
