BUSINESS AND PuBLlcIrY.-Nont
now pretend to dispute that notoriety il
one Of the most important elements O
success in business. Fortunes are ac
cumulated in a few years by those who
have the intelligence and tact to avail
themselves OF this power, greater than
men seeking success through years Of
unaided application have dreamed of.
The vast benefits resulting from sys-
tematic and continuous advertising are
only beginning tc be understood. 1t is
not pretended that all must, as matter
of course, acquire wealth by such means,
bat 1t has been demonstrated that the
merchant who has well-selccted stock
and deals uprightly, the manufacture
whose goods arc as cheap, qualities
considered, as any in the market, Or tn,
mechanic who is skilful and punctual
may increase his business atpleasure, il
proportion to the energy and means h,
employs in gaining publicity.
Then why not all advertise Be.
cause business men are only beginning
to realize its importance. Still, the
amount of advertising seen in the COL
umns of the journals has doubled within
five years, and will donble again in five
more: Those who still hang back will
see their younger and more energetic
rival out stripping them. There is nc
use in contending against the spirit O

WILLIAM II. BURLEIcH, Secretary Of
the N. Y. State Temperance Society, is
lecturing in Connecticut, his native
State, on the subject of tho Maine Law.
A Hartford paper, speaking Of Mr.. B.,
says:
"He is always logical, for his reason
ing powers are never conquered by his
Imagination or bis Passions. There Is
invariably in his speeches most happy
union of the logic with the imaginative.
Mr.. Burleigh is poet-every speech of
bis glows with beauty as we'll as power.
There is fire. in every sentence-thunder
in every word he utters. But his logic
is invincible. lie does not always be-
come aroused to a proper degree of
enthusiasm-thnt is, judging him by
himself when in bis best trim for SER
vice. Let him have a large and appre-
ciative audience-let him be physically
prepared for the occasion, and then we
will pit William H. Burleigh against
any other orator living, for splendid
imagery, burning eloquence, and terse
logic. Mr.. Burleigh never makes .
poor speech, he is too well educated in
the Temperance reform to do that"

n1- Some years ago, the Yankee
schooner " Sally Ann" under con- mand
of one Captain Spooner, was beating up
the Connecticut River. Mr.. Comstock

According to his notion of things, the
schooner was getting little too near to
