1t is singular that BUSINESS men should
be so blind to their own interests as We
sometimes find them. They are content
To- carry on a business hat barely affords
them living, while Others engaged in
the same business almost mOnopollze
the trade. The former wonder at the
reason OF this, and seek night and day
TO discover the cause why their custom
ers are so few and their sales SO small,
while Others with inferior stocks are COM
pletely ovcrrun.-Ihe secret is, that the
man who understands his business, adj
yertiSes, and people know just what he
has to sell, and where to find him.
Signs have grown into disuse, except Tor
ornament. They arenever looked at by
strangers. Newspapers are taken by all
classes ofpeopIe, and whatever they may
desire to buy, they make up their minds
where to buy before starting out. 1t
has grown into pro1crb that advertls-
ers sellthe cheapest and best goods; and
they are consequently thronged with
customers. Their sign is never looked
for. The paper is read and time saved
by it. ttha wife OF daughter desires TO
purchase a shawl they 90 at once to
Mays, Torbert's, Browns. ettlewell's,
or to some other establishment with
which they have become acquainted
through the papers; and if they chance
to drop in at another, it is an accident
merely, and they seldom purchase. La
dies are sagacious. They know who
advertise, and who do not, and they
never expect a bargain in non-adver-
Using establishment.
So too with men. They say the man
who does not advertise his goods, has
nothing worth advertising, or if he has
and does not, he is sllin-fint, and it is
better to keep out OF his clutches. So,
after all, there is an aristocracy in bust
ness, as in every thing else; butt differs
materially from other artist, cracieS.
There is nothing in it that Is not to BE-
commended. Its motto is, 'livc and let
lives" and its principles are those OF
the most perfect equality, and the lar
gest benefits to all who are deserving.
No man, then, can expect to prosper in
trade, who not avail himself of the
means withid his reach ofnforl,lng the
public Of his locality, and what he do"-

sell, Or you can't sell it.

The LATE JAMES FENNiNoRE COOPER.
This eminent novelist gave up life,
which he has made illustrious, on the
14th instant, at Cooperstown, n. Y.
He was born at Burlington, n. j., on
the 18th September, 1859, and was con-
sequently within a day Of being 90 years
Of age at the time Of his death. For
some time past his health has been de-
clinine. He expired free from pain,
and his last moments were cheerful and
happy. Mr. Cooper entered Yale Col
lege in 1902. In 1903, he Quilted it for
the navy, which he entered as mid
shlpman. He remained in the service
six years--that portion OF his life which
furnished him with materials, from
(which his vivid and stirring sea tales
have been woven. One-hall of his rep
utation has been earned by his nc
less original and absorbing scenes
and actors in the wilderness-the Leatll-
erstocklngs annd their forest homes
the Indian and his savage haunts
When he touched civilized life upon
the land, his pencil lost its grace, truth
and inspiration, and it is no matter how
soon his recent poliico-fctltious publ
cations shall be forgotten. He produ'
ced thirty-four novels, besides "a Naval
History, Travels, sc.
Mr.. Cooper, after leaving the Navy,
married in 1910 lady who survives
him. In 1927 he visited Europe, where
he remained several years. His works
have been read in many languages and
countries, and he is one of those tortu.
nate authors, who are rewarded not on.
ly in their own country, out in theil
own lifetime.

Men on, Of work

Upon this statement the PHILADELPHIA
.NorM .fmcTican makes the following
remarks:
What Is true orpittshurg and its suburbs, is
also true OF other parts ofthc state. Nor is this
all. The Stoppagc of these mills about Pitts
bur. has deprived the working men Of more than
three quarters Of 4 million Qi doiieuH Il year for
wages, which they were in the habit of recpiv-
ing, and would still receive, but for the Tariff of
1916. The same desulating hand has been laid
every where, and tens Of millions Of dollars of
labor and capital nave been SoIri n' -, H..
or party leaders might be successful. L"colc-
ism, il is true, has thus far trupphed, but it has
been over the ruins OF Pcnn>y lyania's most cher
ishcd interests, and upon the downfall OF that
enterprise in which her hopes Of future great
ness were proudly ccntercd. Whether that par
". which now rejolces over these results with
insane pleasure, and candidate who filings out
his banner, daring TO outrage public intelligence
by nscribing Us his accepted motto the cause OF
nl these eviS--the Tariff OF Is l6-shall triumph
again. the people will be called upon to deter
nine in a few weeks hence. We shall address
no exciting appeals. This is a question which
applies to the reason and the interest Of every
citizen, and upon which he ought 10 be able to
decide us Understandings as ourselves. Our
own duty shall be discharged faithfully. and to
the full extent oiour ability. We shall continue
until the last hour to present 10 our readers such
startling facts as have already been submitted
from time to time, and then we shall rely upon
the good sense and integrity Of Pennsy lvania in
defending herself gainSt those who arc alike the
enemies of her fame and her prosperity.

NIAGARA EoLIrsED.-The river Shir-
hawaii, between Bonha and Camp Com.
orin, falls into The Gull Of Arabia. The
river is about one.tourth of mile IN
width. and in the rainy season some
thirty feet in depth. This immense
body OF water rushes down rocky slope
three hundred feet, at an angle Of forty
five degrees, at the bottom OF which 1t
makes perpendicular plunge of eight
bundled and fifty feet, into black and
dismal abyss, with noise like the loud
est thunder. The whole descent Is,
therefore, eleven hundred and fifty feet,
or several times that of Niagara The
volume of waterin the latter is some
what larger than that OF the former, but
in depth of descent, it will be seen, tb' re
is no comparison between them. In th"
dry ,elson the Shirhawati is a Sn

houis Napoleon-The French.

The arrival or the noble steamer Atlantic
brings the important intelligence that the
French Assembly have failed to pass the
Government measure Of a revision of the
Constitution. the requisite two thirds OF that
body not voting Tor it. This action Of the
Representatives Of the French people, is a
legal death blow to Louis Napoleon and his
schemes OF personal agrandizement. With
out this material modification Of the funda.
mental law, he cannot be a candidate for re-
election TO the Presidency OF the Republic.
Whether his influence over the army is suf-
ficient TO embolden him to set at naught the
prohibitions Of the Constitution he is sworn
TO obey, is as yet a matter of conjecture IL
is by no means certain that he would not
still receive majority Of the votes ofhis con-
slituents for few presidential term. The
great historical events in French history du-
ring the Empire, yet lingcr in the minds Of
the masses, and the name Of Napoleon is
still potent as a trumpet call 10 the ears Of
the FIehch people. Our own opinion is.
that, despite the sebuff he has just expert
enced, Prince Louis will s,ard his ground,
aud ere long again the ascendancy which he
vices Of his present character, not less than
the faulty Of his advisers, have so mateii-
ally damaged. At all events, he holds in his
own hands the question Of peace or war for
the entire Continent. The first outbreak OF
revolution would be but the signal for tho
movement Of the despots Of Europe, to strike
hands together against the present system in
France and restore, if possible, the ancient
regime OF the ll-starred Oileanists. or imbe-
cile Bourbons.

FRoM THE MINfs-TuE WHirE QuARrz
RIVER DIoGINGs. Some four or five months
since several Frenchmen came into Mariposa
and communicated to their friends that thew
had discovered very rich gold mines about
forty miles cast of Los Angos, on White
Quartz River. A number of their country
/. men sent out party to prospect and learn
the extent and richness of the mines. They
returned and made very favorable report.
saying that thoy had prospccted twelve or
fifteen miles, and found il would yield rich
reward for their labor.
Upon that, company of two hundred
French and one hundred Americans started
Frenchmen, who left Mariposa, were some
of them in good mercantile business and men
of standing. They led the party. There
are several gentlemen here direct from Mar
iposa country, and they stated that this party
has again sent back to their friends, and
some of their messengers have shown pounds
of the ''ore." AS may be expected. there is
a perfect rush from the mines in Mariposa to
that place. 1t has been represented to US
that the coarse and fine gold globules are
likely to be depopulated.
TuoLuMNE.-The miners on the Tuol-
umne are doing well, and they anticipate
good season, as the river is low and falling
fast. What they want. At Oak Flat there
is an abundance of water. and good wages
are made by the miners. AT camp Seco
there is very little water--the yield is fair.
At Shaw's Flats the dirt is hauled several
miles and the yield is good after all expenses.
Some have sunk immense wells and are using
pumps by horse power indeed, all the Dig
gings in this part of the country amply re-
numerate, where there is water sucient.
There is project now on operation by
company for bringing water from the Stan
islaus river, distance of about twenty miles
to supply the place now without water; if
done within two months il will no doubt pay
the company
TnE NEvApA.-The Sacramento Union
learns from Major Henry =. Sweetser, that
gold has been recently discovered upon one
of the highest SUBMITS of the Nevada range.
The story goes that the ledge is 200 yards
from point 5000 feet above the level Of the
valley, and is near the Trucky trail, within
% miles of Grass Valley. The yield of the
ore is said to be IA cts. to the pound
NELsoS's CREEK AT Nelson's creek, be-
tween tho Yuda and Feather rivers, there are
very rich dry diggings, according to the
MaysvilIe Herald. They are situated upon
the summit of ridge, nearly 500 feet above
the rayine of Feather river, and the gold is
so coarse as to enable men to make good wa
ges by picking il out. Men are said to have
made $500 day with rocker where water
could be obtained.
