Advertising.

All thinking persons, who have any
knowledge of the subject. must agree with
US that this is, of all times, the very time
for adve. tising. The amount of business
done may not be large. but what is dons
at allis done chiefly by those who advertise.
they do most who Advertisement The news
paper is life preserver by which judicious
men of business keep their heads above
the water while their less prudent fellows
go under
The Boston Trapeler Justly remarks that
the duty of advertising is recognized by
all sensible traders, who know that there
are men who have money to spend even
in these days, and who will spend it if
they can get good bargains. To get such
bargains they must make themselves sc-
quainted with what is going on, and that
they can do only through the papers. If
they can find one house advertising, while
other houses do not advertise, their Gus
tom is attracted to that house. Hence ad
vertising is duty, if business men are for
success. The retail trade is not dead by
any means, and, indeed cannot die except
with society itself. The men who do the
best at it are those who best understand
the nature and uses Of communicating di-
rectly with the public through the press
We say nothing against other modes Of
making such communication, but the pres.
is the true mode after all. Business men
should avail themselves OF the efficient in
fiuence of an advertisement in good news
paper. Ii ever advertising does good. it
i is in times like the present. 1t is not rich
land that the farmer treats TO guano and
the phosphates, but the comparatively bar
rcn. Therefore, reader. be quick in hand
ing in your advertisements, or some ons
will get ahead of you.

Terrible Punishment.

An old fogy of this place remarked the

cruel and unusual penalties in any case.

Fitch VS.. Douglas.

We stated last week that our sham Sen
ator, Fitch, had announced himself in IA
vor of the Lecompton Constitution Here
is the report, by telegraph, of his speech,
and what Mr.. Douglas said in reply. The
little giant, it will be seen, chases every
dough face out of the ring that attacks
him.
The Senate resumed the confederation Of
the Presidents Annual Message.
Mr. Fitch said if the election took place
in Kansas yesterday, Congressional action
Oh the subject would he required, that is,
assuming there were no frauds which. h..wOuld
violate the election. He desired that the
decision of the people of the Territory.
whether to admit or exclude slavery, should
not be supposed to influence his opinion.
therefore he wished to speak on the subject
in advance Of any possible knowledge here
of the proceedings of the election. He
would remark in advance, while he should
feel bound to comment on some of the
views expressed by Mr.. Douglas, he
did not desire to read him out of the Dem
ocratic party, but would say that man
might by his own voluntary act, either by
promoting discord in the party or by some
other means place himself beyond the pale
of the party organization. He hardly
thought that the old Democratic party as
such were put to the necessity of reading
persons out of their organization. If,
however, there were any men in the Dem
ocratic party who wished to take position
outside of the party, or who intended to
promote discord in the party in return for
some fancied grievance in time past, they
would do well to remember the fate of
every such attempt that had been made
from the days of Burr to those of Van Bu-
rem. He was in favor of admitting Kan
sas with whatever Constitution they might
present here, provided it be in a republican
form. The convention had power to sub
init the Constitution or Withhold it, and
was responsible to the people of Kansas
only, for the manner in which they had eX
ercised that right He desired to adopt The
course productive of the least evil to the
greatest number
! Mr.. Douglas in reply, said. according to
his own showing Mr.. Fitch differed with
the President on one point, and yet the
Senator from Indiana had charged him
with faction, that Senator had double the

regard to Slavery that has been effected in
the Democratic party of the north? How
long will it take. at the pace the party ha
been travelling for the year past. for it to
arrive at the position that expediency, hu-
manity and the glory of the country alike
demand the opening of the African Slave
trade? Has it not already been asserted
by the highest tribunal in the land that
"the negro possesses no rights which the
white man is bound to respect?" If this
be so, what valid objection can be urged
against the opening Of the African Slave
trade?

Proceedings of the Territorial, LPgisla-

FoRwADED BY L. s. EXPREss TO THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.
LAwRESCE, X. Il. Dec. 10, 1887.
The Legislature has now been a week in
session at Lccompton. The first few days
were spent in arranging the business, APP
pointing standing committees and waiting
for the report of the special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the Loavenworth e.
lection case. The Free State men sent in
their mem orial to the Assembly. Three OF
the Pro Slavery Representatives, MeSSrS.
Bartlett, Denman and Armstrong were
present in the House, and Davis Of Wyan-
dotte, and Judge Halderman of Lcaven
worth were in the Council. They stated
that they had not legally been notified of a
contest, and refused to enter into an inves-
tigation The House Committee report
ed, on Thursday last, favorably to the Free
State men and the Pro Slavery kickapoos
were turned out. This proceeding was not
arrived at in the Council until Friday night,
Dec IL, when Haldcrman and Davis were
informed they might leave. The Free
State men in both bodies were sworn in
and the Assembly finally got to work.
ELL FOR ORGANIZING THE MILITIA.
An important bill was introduced into
the House on Saturday, Dec. -, and pass
ed both branches to It's final passage on
Monday night 1t will probably be vetoed
by Stanton, but it will be passed over his
head 1t is a very carefully devised
scheme. and if put into effectual operation,
will place the military arm of the Terrific
rial Government in the hands Of the Free
State men. The Major General will be
James II. Lane, and the remainder of the
Board provided for, be composed of such
men as he may approve. BY this bill the
Board can call ont the military when they
think it necessary. The task of the In
spector General in reference to the arms
now belonging to the Territory will not be
very pleasant, or, | fear, a successful
one. There were 5000 stand of arms
appropriated to Kansas. all of which have
passed into the hands of the Missouri Bor-
der Ruflian Militia that in the past usurp-
ed the functions of our citizens, and TO re-
cover these arms will be a task worthy of a
Hercules.

On Gender.

Punch slanderously says;-"The sun is
called masculine from its supporting and
sustaining the moon, and finding her the
wherewithal to shine away as she does OF
night, and from his being obliged to
keep snch family of stars. The moon
is feminine, because she is constantly
changing, just as ship is blown about by
every wind. The church is feminine. be-
cause she is married to the State, and Time
is masculine, because he is trified with by
the ladies.

They had funny ways Of settling love
suits in olden times Here is an instance.
which we cut from an exchange: Two
gentlemen ofhigh birth, the one Spaniard
the other German, having rendered Max
imilian H. many services, they each for rec
ompense demanded his natural daughter.
Helena Schasequin. in marriage. The
prince, who entertained equal respect for
them both, could not give either the pref
erence, and after much delay he told them
that from the claims they had TO his atten-
ton and regard he could not give his as
sent for either Of them to marry his daugh-
ter, and they must decide it by their own
proweSs and address; but as he did not
wish to risk the loss of either, or both by
suffering them to fight with offensive weap-
ons, he ordered large bag to be brought.
and he who was successful enough TO put
his rival into it should obtain his daughter.
This strange combat between two gentle
men was in the presence of the whole i'm
perial court, and lasted half an hour. At
length the Spaniard yielding to the Ger
man, Andre Ethard, Baron of Tethred,
who, when he got him in the bag. took
him on his back and placed him at the
Emperor's feet, and on the following day
married the beautiful Helena.

How to Make Lard Candles.

Country Gentleman, writes;
Having been the recipient of many ia
vors through the columns of your invsl.
liable publication, | propose. so far as in
me lies, to cancel the obligations already
incurred, and as the first installment, shall
offer a recipe for making hard, durable.
and clear burning candles Of lard. The
manufacture of lari candles is carried on to
a considerable extent in some of the Wes-
tern States-particularly Wisconsin, and
being monopolizcd by the few has proved
very lucrative The following is the re-
cipe, in toto: To every 8 pounds Of lar
add ono ounce of nitric acid; and the ma
ner of making is as follows: Hsvinl
weighed your lard, place it over a slow
fire, or at least merely melt it; then add
the acid, and mould the same as tallcw.
and you have a clear. beautiful candle.
In order to make them resemble bo-
ma fde tallow candles you have only
to add small proportion of bees
wax.
