ADvERTIsING.-The Boston Journal fur
nishes striking illustration OF the benefits
of liberal and judicous advertising 1t is
from the cash book of S. S. HouGHroN, a
dry goods dealer in Boston. From Dec H.,
1881, 10 Jan. IL, 1852, his sales without
advertising, were sl7i2 10, an average of
s75 day. At The end of that time, he
commenced advertising, and up 10 the 7ih
of February, expended one hundred dollars
in making his business known through the
newspapers. At that time, his sales had
reached $1,000 90, an average of ss0l IS a
day. There is very little danger that that
man will give up advertising.

al suppression. She also alludes 10 the salts
factory state Of the public revenue, and in

mentary representation and the abolition of
the income tax
In the House of Commons, Sir Benjamin
Hall asked for an explanation with regard TO
the causes of Lord Palmersion's resignation.
Lord John Russell Immediately replied, that
Lord Palmerson was refractory, and treated
the Queens interrogatories with disrespect,
and acted independently of his colleagues,
unreservedIy approving of the recent illegal
coup de tat of Louis Napoleon.
Lord Palmerston replied at considerable
length, which, though denouncing his late
colleagues, did not improve his own position.
He paid willing and rnerited eulogium TO
the character of the American Minister at
London.

says, turned the tables upon his asailants,
and came nigh putting them hors du COM

question whether parties in interest should
be excluded from the witness-stand, is about
10 be brought before the Legislature of New
York. That body, having the enlightened
experience Of the English Courts 10 guide it,
will doubtless remove the present disqualifi-
cation which makes the parties who must
necessarily have the best knowledge Of the
circumstances involved in the issue, incom.
peienl 10 testify TO the facts. In the ordina-
~ transactions Of life, we take every mans
representations of facts, no matter how
much interested he may be, and give them
their proper weight according to the degree
of credibility he is entitled TO. The result
is generally correct judgment. In courts
of law, where the witness 10 put to a
searching investigation, and every word
hich falls from him is closely scru,inized,
The credibiliiy of the witness is much more
readily established, and succeesful perjury 10
J rendered slnos, impossible.

THE TARIFF.

The Muncy Luminary finds fault with
Mr.. Gamble for voting against the resolu-
ton OF Mr.. Welsh, Of Ohio, on the subject
Of the tariff. Mr.. Gamble was perfectly
right in the matter. Mr.. Welsh's resou-
tion stood no chance of being passed and
was calculated to do more harm than good.
The committee OF ways and means are
opposed to the proposed modification of
the tariff Of 1916, and the action of the
House will have to be independent Of that
committee. The friends Of the measure
will have to act with caution and in con-
cert. When the proper time comes, Mr..
Gamble will, no doubt, be "right side up"

gress of civilization in Williamsport. Ac-

Gentlemen now appear in black, and la

calicoes, as in days gone by. Instead Of
brass breast pins well FURNISHED, the ladies
now sport the pure metal. All this, the
Colonel attributes, TO the lumber business,
California gold, and to the rail roads in
perspective. This encourages trade, agri-
culture and manufactures, as is abundantly
proved BY the following, furnished by the
Colonel himself, from actual observation.
