I was curious to learn something of the etchings of Rembrandt, and where should I find it but under the head "Low Countries, Engravers of the," an elaborate and most valuable article of a hundred double-columned close-printed quarto pages, to which no reference, even, is made under the title Rembrandt.
In Paris were printers, engravers, artists, binders Paris was then the artistic center of the world, as it is today. The results of this first great scientific voyage of discovery were written out in a work of seventeen volumes. It was entitled, "The Travels of Humboldt and Bonpland in the Interior of America."

These bank-note engravers made good wages. I expect they lay up property. They are full of Union sentiment. There is considerable Union sentiment in Virginny, more especially among the honest farmers of the Shenandoah valley. My wife says so too. Then it isn't money we want. But we do want MEN, and we must have them. We must carry a whirlwind of fire among the foe.
