Goodness.

On Monday we received copy Of an ad-
yertisement such as we should charge the
best man i'm our county Sl2 year for, en-
closed in the following note:
CINCINNATI, May 81, 1852.
EDITORS SESTINEL.-If you will insert the
enclosed advertisement one year on the third
page of the Sentinel" give US the privilege
Of Twelve short notices in the editorial CO.
lumn, and send copy Of your paper 10 Inc
Cincinnati Daily Courier" for US, we VIII
give you certificate emitting the bearer 10
ten dollars, in part payment for full course
of instruction i'm cur institution. For REFER
ences see card. There are plenty Of young
men who will gladly take it off your hands
at small dis count, which the length OF the
advertisement will justify you in making.
Yours very respectfully
HEAD g. GARRISON.
Well, here it is: We don't do business in
that way. We charge 81 90 piece for "ed-
torial notices" when they are intended as ad-
vertisements, and Sl2 year for such an ad-
yertsement as yours. We have quit this
whole system of advertising for "hound pups
at fifty dollars piece" and we hope others
will do SO too. The scheme is an imposition
and should be discountenaDced. What is
your part pay certificate worth after we dis
count it! WHAT should we get out of your
pay! Say we discount it fifty per cent eav-
ing US S., then give you So worth of no.
tees and send you paper worth 81. Won't
we have lots of mon left. Not so green
yet, gentlemen.
Ashiabuia Sentinel, June 9th.
The same enterprising firm sent US sim
liar notice, which was re-enveloped and re-
turned. We have an advertising agent at
Cincinnati, Mr.. s. Fl. PARvIN, whom we CO! :
daily recommend to contemporaries. He
only sends his patrons paying advertisements,
and in this he differs from every Eastern
ag- mt. He is faithful and capable, and never
insults country printers by sending them !
vertisements at prices which are an insult to
any respectable press. Cincinnati advertis-
ers can as heretofore address this paper
through Mr.. Parvin.-[ED. JOURNAL.

A RoySI Brides Dfe,s -.

The daughter Of Pierce Charles, Of Prussia,
Princess Anna, is soon to be married to PRICE
Fredric of Hcsse Castle. Her trousseoa-
brides clothing-had been on exhibition at
the Kings place at Berlin, for two or three
days; and it is said that $500 persons, mostly
females, visited it each day. Would any Of
our lady readers like to see description of
it! Here it is, as given by correspondent
of the London Times:
"Of the two large rooms which the tros-
seau occupied, the first contained the house
and body linen, LAID out, for the most part in
twenty dozens, all marked with Her Royal
Highness's name-l2 dozen pocket handker-
chiefs had the royal arms woven in them. In
connection with the travelling couch, were
"a dozen day and night chemises, as many
undress and night caps. and incomPrehensi-
BILE and unmentionablc articles in like profu-
sion. The linen takes up three sides OF the
room, the fourth is occupied by the chaussure,
consisting of twenty-four pairs OF silk and
leather shoes, and "a dozen pairs Of stockings.
In the second room were gloves, embroider-
ed bandkerchiefs collars, scarfs, hats, bonnets.
and artificial flowers, in bewildering proiu-
sion; to make oil complete, there as riding
habit, I2 cloaks, in silk and velvet; and be-
sides all these the ball and court dresses, as
well as the wedding robe, diadem of bril-
liants, and too many more things for me to
enumerate. According to old practice here,
the body of the wedding dress, of white
satin, was not with the skirt and train, but lie
kept in the jewel chamber, where it is decora-
ted with the crown Jewels, and not brought
out til! the last Moment"

There is some talk among our citizens,
about establishing a system of Graded schools
and erecting suitable buildings for that
purpose. Not being sufficiently familiar with
the modus operandi Of the system, we cannot
speak intelligently Of its merits. but as it has
emanated from high authority and received
pretty general sanction by being adopted in
other States, aud in different portions of our
own, We have no doubt of it's superior adupta-
ton to the education of the young. 1t is
high time that something were done for our
schools; we have good teachers, but owing
to the degraded system that has heretofore
existed, they have been unable TO do either
themselves or their pupils justice.
