1t is said that several English noble
men intend visiting the Worlds Fair at
New York, this summer. They will be
met by many Of Americas ''noblemen. :"
Here's a cordial grasp of the hand for
the author of that paragraph! English
noblemen [ wouldn't walk to the end
of a knitting needle to see one! Do you
suppose the fair would turn their backs
on our tall, finely-formed, curly-headed,
chain-lightning, looking American men,
to glance at those slow moulded, red
faced, apoplectic, barrel-shaped, porter
fed, beef-devouring denominations! No
sir! No need to label their coats; if we
see any masculine particularly arrogant,
imperative, ill-manneredan and disagreeable,
we shall set him down for an English no.
bleman. [ hope you won't tread on my
republican toes. | am afraid | should
allude to that huge cup of ''tea" that my
forefathers mixed in theirs in Boston har-
Dor, or hum Yankee Doodle" in their
British ears; or invite them to take a
look at Bunker Hill Monument. -

How to Make Money!

How to Make Money!
Who, on reading this heading, does not
say that is the very thing want to know I.
We are sure we can point out way that
will bring money as certainly as summer
bringsfruit! five were to say-to make
money throw money away--it would be
thought a paradox. Yet it is true to. the,
extent that money must be laid out on
things which bring no direct return. Ifaz
farmer wants harvest, he must sow his
seed. Thatsis evident. But to gain a.
good harvest more than that has often to-
be done. When he spends his money in
buying lime, manure, or guano, and then
spends labor in throwing them upon the
ground, he is doing thing that an mex
perienced person, Rocky Mountain In
dian for instance. would probably think
very foolish-mere throwing away Of
money; is it not by such expenditure that
large harvests are obtained ? M sg9s
The same system holds good in mer-g
camille and other business. A stock may
be laid in, and clerks hired to sell it cut
"a man may be great mechanic, and
be prepared with tools to execute orders
But will the mere possession of q good,
stock, or the mere skill of the excellent
mechanic; alone avail to build up a for,
tune! No-those excellent traits must
be known! And how are they to be
made known2 By telling your friends,
and trusting that those who deal with,
you will tell theirs Such a proceeding
would keep a knowledge of your merits
confined to a narrow circle. You must
adrertase! that is the way to make,
money! That done, your merit becomes
known. You claim to hayea good stock,
and people come to see what you have
got--you proclaim yourself superior
man in the practice of your trade or pro-
fesslon, and people come to test you.
Thus, by advertising you gain for your
self that position to which your merits
entitle you. .s msf} s -re~
The Newspapers often speak of the
value of advertising-do they speak the
truth, or are they merely pushing their
own interest? You may easily answer
that question by referring to your own
experience in an instance that we will
cite for the purpose. The best daguerre-
otypist in this city is Mr.. Ball, of Fourth
street. nearly opposite our office-would
you, reader have been aware of that fact,
if you had not seen it advertised. As it
is-you, and thousands more, have. seen
that such was the case in his advertise
nlents in the sam paper. What has been
the consequence of that knowledge to
Mr.. Ball? He asserts that one odrertise-
mert, descriptive of his establishment
and mode Of doing business, which he
inserted in the Sun few weeks ago, has
alone brought him in more than fre hun
dred dollars! While others in the same
profession, who were soving their money,
were signing and complaining in empty
rooms. this gentleman who hrcw his mon
ey array, had his establishment crowded
with people that brought the dimes.
If you want to make money-adver-
tise! The above instance will prove to
you that it is right to advertise. Try il
and be convinced.-Cmcianati Sun. -

u Facts brought to light on Saturday
evening, prove conclusively that the young

A man named Michael BELOW, in this

DTOne of the most important facts
connected with the present age, is the
unparalleled increase of the Anglo. Saxon
race in numbers, wealth and influence,
within the last two hundred years. In
the early part of the seventeenth century.
England, Wales, and Scotland numbered
only about 5000, 900, and as o nation.
was classed among the second rate powers
of Europe. Now, at the present time.

wards of $4,000, 900, scattered over every
island and continent Of the earth. u
BE CAUTIoUs.-The newspapers around
the country are recording deaths from
sun-stroke and drinking cold water while
the blood is heated with exercise. The
midday sun should be avoided as much
as possible, and cold water should be
drank sparinsly.

Dear Sir am enabled to furnish you with

sufferer. About ter years ago, Mr.. W. Cum

advice at the time, and was afterwards an in
mate of different infirmaries, yet he grew
worse and at length malignant running ul-

crippled him, that he could not move without
crutches for nearly ten years; recently he
began to use your Ointment and Pills, which
have now healed the wound, strengthened his
limb, and enabled him to dispense with his
crutches. so that he can walk with the great

Sir-Some time since, one of my children
was afflicted with dreadful eruptions over the
body and limbs l obtained the advice Of Sc
veral eminent Surgeons and Physicians, by all
of whom the case was considered hopeless. At
length [ tried your Ointment and Pills, and
without exaggeration. the effect was miracu-

eruptions quickly disappeared, and the child
was restored to perfect health

The Poisoned Valley.

medlately let out.-Near York DutcltmaR.
The Poisoned Valley.
A singular discovery has lately been
made near Batten, in Java, of poisoned
valley. AIr. Alexander Loudcn visited it
last July. and we extract paragraph from
a communication on the subject, addressed
BY him to the Royal Geographical Socie-
ty:
1t is known by the name of Gucvo Upas,
or Poisoned Valley: and following a path
which had been made for the purpose, the
party shortly reached it with couple of
dogs and fowls, for the purpose of making
experiments. On arriving at the noun
tains, the party dismounted and scram-
bled up the side Of hill, a distance of a
quarter of mile, with the assistance of
the branches Of trees and projecting roots
When a few yards from the valley,
strong, nauFeous and suffocating smell
was experienced; but on approaching the
margin this inconvenience was no longer
found. The valley is about half miIein
circumference, Of an oval shape, and about
thirty feet in depth. The bottom of it ap-
peared to be fiat, without any vegetation,
and few large stones scattered here and
there. Skeletons of fhuman beings, tigers,
bears, deer and all sorts of birds and wild
animals lay about in profusion. The
ground on which they lay at the bottom
of the valley appeared to be hard, sandy
substance, and no yapor was perceived.
The sides were covered with vegetation.
1t was now proposed to enter it, and
each of the party having lit cigar, man.
aged to get within twenty feet of the
bottom, where sickening nauseous smell
was experienced without any difficulty of
breathing. A dog was now fastened to
the end of bamboo and thrust to the
bottom Of the valley, while some of the
party with their watches in their hands
observed the effects. At the expiration
of fourteen seconds the dog fell off his
legs, without moving Or looking around,
and continued alive only eighteen min
utes. The other dog now left the party
and went to his companion; On reaching
him he was observed to stand quite mo-
tlonless, and at the end of ten seconds
fell down; he never moved his limbs
after, and lived only seven minutes. A
fowl was now thrown in, which died in a
minute and quarter; and another which
was thrown after it, died in the space of a
minute and a half \ heavy shower Of
rain fell during the time that these expe-
riments were going forward, which, from
the interesting nature of the experiments,
was quite disregarded. On the opposite
side of the valley to that which was
visited, lay human skeleton, the head
resting on the right arm. The effect of
the weather had bleached the bones as
white as ivory. This was probably the
remains Of some wretched rebel, hunted
towards the valley, and taking shelter,
unconscious of its character.
