CT Men of business are hardly aware Of the
immense change which few years have wrought
in the power Of the public press. As general
rule, an advertisement in paper now, will meet
the eyes Of four to ten times as many persons as
a like announcement would have done twenty
years ago. 1t is easy to place one where it will
meet the eyes Of one hundred thousand persons
within two days, or by using half dozen papers,
to challenge the attention Of half million Of
persons. When it is practicable to- attain such
publicity at the cost of few dollars, and when
some actually do obtain it, how can those who
neglect it, expect to build up new business p
An old one may sl!sist, until its customers grad
ualy drop off by death or removal but he who
would build up business now, must s' be like
the time," and improve the advantages it offers.
Foremost among these is the facility now so cheap
y afforded for general advertising. TO neglect
it, is like resolving never to travel by steam nor
communicate by telegraph. 1t is to close ones
eyes to the light, and insist living in perpetual
darkness. An individual may do this at his own
cost but community, class, will never act so
insanely and he who neglects the advantages
advertising, not only robs himself Of his fair ad
vantagcs, but bcstows the spoils on his wiser
rivals.
JENNY LIND GoLDscnMTDr.-We have been ia
vorcd with the following extract from private
letter from Vienna:
ga few days since, called at the Hotel Sum
ROniScten KAISER to pay my respects to JENNY
Lind Goldschmidt. She has a decided pencha,it
for America and Americans; and moreover, as
happened to be well acquainted with some of her
Boston friends, was made dOubly weIcome.-
She informed me of her expectation to settle per-
manently in the United States, mainly on account
of her child, a bright little boy. She has been
giving concerts in Vienna, in quiet unassuming
way.
She spoke Of Boston Sabbath as delightful
luxury. Here the Sabbath is made gala-aay by
all classes. Public persons must keep open
rooms as on other days Of the week, and the pco-
pie 90 from the church to the theatre as if both
were dedicated to the Most High.
The Jenny Lind of former days has become the
dignifed Madame Goldschmidt of the present.
She appears somewhat older, bat retains the
frankncss and simplicity of manners which have
characterized her above all others.-N. Y. T,ib.
C-y-Thc Russian Government is dead against
missionaries. The London Missionary Society
undertook, in 1920, a mission in Siberia, on the
frontiers of Chinese Tartary. They were coun-
tenanced by the Emperor Alexandria, and met
with great success. But in 1S4l, after twenty
years. toll and expense the mission was sup
pressed by an order from the Russian Synod, on
the ground that the mission did not coincide with
the views of the Church and the Government.
Curious GaIvanic Experiments.
Among the extraordinary experiments with a
galvanc battery upon the human body, the most
curious case we find in Scotch periodical. 1t
him the body Of murderer named Clyesdale,
which was brought into the operating room with
IN thirty minutes from the time the man was
swung off. The effects On this body produced by
volatile battery of go pair of four inch plates,
were really terrible. In the first experiment, on
removing the rod from the thigh, the leg was
thrown forward with so much violence as nearly
to Ovcrturn one OF the assistants. In the second
experiment the rod was applied to the phrenic
nerve of the neck, when laborions breathing COM
menced; the chest heavcd and fell, the belly
protruded and collapsed with the relaxing and re-
tir ng diaphragm; and it was thought that moth
ing but the loss of blood prevented pusation
from being restored. In the third experiment,
the supra Ordital nerve was touched, when the
muscles of the face were thrown into frightful
actions and contortions. The scene was hideous,
and many spectators left the room, and one gem
tleman nearly fainted-either from terror or the
momentary sickness which the scene occasioned.
In the fourth experiment, from meeting the elec-
trio power, from the spinal marrow to the elbow,
the fingers were put in motion, and the arm was
agitated in such manner that it seemed to DO mt
to some spectators who were dreadfully terrified,
from an apprehension that the body was actually
coming to life. From these experiments, Dr..
Ure seemed to be Of the op nion that had not in
cisions been made in the blood vessels of the
neck and spinal marrow lacerated, the body of
the criminal might have been restored to life.
A HARD GREErISG.-Nebraska Douplas met a
reception anything but fattering from the New
Jerseytes on Friday last. Preparations in advand
of his arrival were made by the faithful to give
welcome. A band of music was in attendance,
and the crowd was gathered at the depot at Tren-
ton.
Judge Douglas bowling and scraping, stepped
out upon the platform of the car, when nine cheers
were proposed for-not Douglas-but Skelton, a
Democratic anti-Nebraska member of Congress
from New Sersey. These cheers were given with
will, and the Senator was speechless. His sur
