Correspondents wishing answers to their letters will bear this in mind. THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. THE LEADING AND LARGEST WEEKLY IN THE UNION. THE SATURDAY EVENING POST is now, beyond all denial, the leading as well as the largest Weekly Paper in the United States. its circulation is undeniably greater than that of any other paper, of the same kind, in the Union; while its literary contents are allows, by the best judges, to be unsurpassed. Such tales as "The Deserted Wife," "Shannondale," "The Child Stealer." and "The Two Brides," have place "The Post," by almost universal admission, a "head and shoulders" above its contemporaries. FIRST NOVELISTS IN AMERICA, MRS. EMMA D.E.N. SOUTHWORTH, author of "RETRIBUTION," "THE DESERTED WIFE," "SHANNONDALE," etc., by which the productions of her gifted pen will be secured hereafter (with the exception of an occasional story in a Washington paper) EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE POST. Mrs. Southworth, as an American novelist of great power--a rising Star in the West--has been hailed with acclamation by all those who can recognize genius as well in a native as in a foreign author. We design to commence a NEW STORY BY MRS. SOUTHWORTH, about the beginning of the year. How many stories she will be able to finish during 1851, will depend upon the state of her health, etc. We trust, however, that we shall be able to lay before our readers, at least THREE of those splendid productions which have made her name already so distinguished. In the intervals of Mrs. Southworth's Novelets, we design publishing other and shorter Novelets from authors of admitted celebrity. We have two now on hand, which we shall publish as soon as possible: THE IRON HAND, by T.S. ARTHUR, ESQ. THE TEXAN HUNTRESS, by C.W. WEBBER, Author of "Old Hicka, the Guide," "The Shot in the Eye," etc. And mark this! What the proprietors of the Post promise, they perform--or do better. They do not announce a long list of distinguished contributors, with whom they have made no arrangement, and whose stories never appear. Such a system may delude an intelligent pulic one year, but it will not answer a second time. If the public are humbugged once, it is the fault of the humbugger; if twice, it is their own. In addition to such choice ORIGINAL articles, involving a large outlay of money, the columns of the Post will contain a great amount of Miscellaneous reading--such as the CREAM OF THE FOREIGN PERIODICALS, Witty and Humorous articles, Selections from the Agricultural Journals, Riddles and Conundrums, etc., etc. REPORTS OF LECTURES--during the past year we gave the celebrated lectures on Shakespeare by Mr. Dana; and the instructive and interesting ones of Dr. Baird upon Europe--Letters from Abroad--General News--REports of the Markets--a Bank Note and Stock List, etc., etc. One of more PORTRAITS of remarkable persons, or PICTURES OF REMARKABLE PLACES are also weekly given. A MORAL PAPER. In conclusion, we may say--that we shall maintain for the Post the character is has acquired of being a strictly moral paper; one that a parent may allow to go freely before his innocent sons and daughters. We need hardly repeat here, that the Post has done more to prevent the publication and sale of immoral works, than any half-a-dozen other papers in the land. A careful guard shall also be kept, as heretofore, over our ADVERTISING COLUMNS, that nothing of an improper character may obtain admittance. In short, whatever is calculated to refine, instruct, amuse, or gratify, shall find its appropriate place in the POST; and let the reader mark one things, whatever others may promise, we will not be behind in the performance. A paper that has stood for twenty-nine years, steadily progressing all the time, and which has now the largest list of subscribers of any paper of the same class in the United States, is not to be left behind in the race by any rival. TERMS The terms of the POST are Two Dollars if paid in advance, Three Dollars if not paid in advance. For Five Dollars, one copy is sent three years. We continue the following low terms for clubs, to be sent, in the city, to one address, and, in the country, to one post-office. 4 COPIES .............................................$5.00 PER ANNUM 8 COPIES (And one to Agent, or the getter up of the Club,) $10.00 PER ANNUM 13 COPIES (And one to Agent, or the getter up of the Club,) $15.00 PER ANNUM 20 COPIES (And one to Agent, or the getter up of the Club,) $20.00 PER ANNUM ONE COPY of the Saturday Evening Post, and ONE of either Graham's Magazine, Godey's Lady's Book, or Sartain's Magaine, for FOUR DOLLARS. The money for Clubs must always be sent in advance. Subscriptions may be sent at our risk. When the sum is large, a draft should be procured, if possible--the cost of which may be deducted from the amount. Address, always post-paid DEACON & PETERSON No. 66 South Third Street, Philadelphia. N.B. --Any person desirous of receiving a copy of the POST as a sample, can be accommodated by notifying the publishers by letter, post-paid. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY EVENING POST.--Among the numerous and valuable family newspapers issuing from the American press, we do not hesitate to place the Post in the very front rank. We intend no disparagement to other enterprises of similar character--and there are many of great merit--but this one seems to have risen by the spirited enterprise of its conductors, to a degree of eminence which places it a full head and shoulders above all its contemporaries. By the way, we take occasion, just here, to venture the opinion that there is no branch of American literature that is contributing at this time, so largely to the diffusion of useful knowledge as this class of Family Newspapers. They are sowing, broadcast, a seed whose fruit cannot fail to tell upon American character in future ages. They are finding their way to every nook of human society; always exciting a fondness for reading, and with this, a great point is gained especially with the youth. Even the children, enjoying these advantages, know more that is useful and important in the formation of character, than the men of former generations. We could wish to see a good family newspaper--giving our preference to the Post--in every family in this republic. No parent can appropriate the sum charged for them so profitably for his children, in any other way. On the score of instruction, and pleasurable amusement, nothing of quadruple the cost, has ministered so much to our family as the weekly visit of the Post for years past. --Minden Banner, La. NUMEROUS OTHER EQUALLY FLATTERING NOTICES, ARE OMITTED FOR WANT OF ROOM A Sketch of the Late Fräulein Antonie Stolle . An Artist and lecturer on Art : who was born in Berlin , Germany February 13th, 1850 . Daughter of Bettina ( Lehr ) Stolle and Doctor Frederick Edouard Stolle ,a noted scientist and schlar, and granddaughter of the famous Sanitatsrath von Stolle . Fräulein Stolle was educated in private schools , studied Art under Prof. van Hanfstein also in the Königliche Academie der Künste , Berlin ( diploma 1869.) She studied many of the leading Art collections in Europe and America, making reproductions in colour on lantern slidesof hundreds of the most famous paintings , which she used to illustrated her lectures . She delivered these lecture courses before large audiences in the Art Institute of Chicago , Drexel Institute in Philadelphia , Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences , in fact not only every city in America but in England , France , Scotland , Germany and Canada . In 1893 Fräulein Stolle , detirmined to obtain for use especially , before the American Audiences , a collection of these slides in which the colours of the original paintings should be introduced , thus adding greatly to the artistic quality and value of reproduction . Hence , she returned to Europe and laboured arduously for two years in the principal galleries and by her own unaided efforts,succeeded in creating the matchless collection of coloured slides , which she proceeded to exhibit for the instruction and entertainment , especially for the American people . Returning every few years to Europe to copy in the galleries , she remained each time several months , thus adding to her collection , until she had painted with great skill about 2,100 slides . Many interesting facts might be given in regard to the obstacles which Fräulein Stolle encountered in her work and her patience and perseverance and success in overcoming these difficulties . Experimenting with colours upon glass , Fräulein Stolle , finally painted with wonderful accuracy the negative itself , a most delicate and difficult procedure , requiring the constant use of the magnifying glass , a tiny blaze from a small lamp , Her secret process of mixing her colours she did not care to divulge. No other person had accomplished what she had in this particular line of Art . She had the knowledge , culture , the artistic perception and appreciation and the indomitable will that held her captive for hours in the freezing galleries day after day , having wrung permission to study and copy there from stony officials. A Sketch of the Late Fräulein Antonie Stolle . Quoting a London Correspondent : " The most surprising feature of the result perhaps , is the fact that no matter how great the enlargement of Fräulein Stolle's stereopticon pictures , there is no indication of coarseness of the grain no loss of delicacy or sentiment . It's truthfulness will bear analysis even to the actual strokes of the brush of the original Artist ". Some of the galleries in which she worked are in : Florence , London , Berlin , Rome,Munich , Dresden , Paris , Vienna , Antwerp , The Hague , Amsterdam and Many other cities . Fräulein Stolle had resided in and near Boston for many years , her last visit to her native country was in 1913 . She possessed a most remarkably sunny disposition which was always in evidence , but those who knew her intimately , knew too , how she suffered during and after the terrible war , as she had nephews in both the German and French armies. Sacrificing as best she could , having a very limited income , she contributed to fairs &c in aid of both the French and German people and always the American Red Cross . Her own pleasures and comforts were her last thought at all times . Enough cannot be said of the fine womanly qualities which Fräulein Stolle possessed , broad-minded , unselfish , loyal , always saw the good in a person and ready to give encouragement , often saying " Cheer up keep smiling " and she lived up to that remark too . Think of the many audiences in this country who have learned to appreciate true Art , hundreds who could not go abroad to see the wonderful paintings , students who found in her lectures , that which helped them to appreciate the fine points in the works of the great masters . While others visited the galleries , enjoyed with greater intelligence the paintings , recalling constantly , facts in regard to these paintings heard by them in Fräulein Stolle's lectures , and marveled at the exactness of her colouring of her slides . She had accomplished much and lived a most useful life and will never be forgotten by those who have sought and love the higher things in this life , we found such in her character . November 1927.
