Adcertismg.-An exchange paper says
that the leading partner in a publishing
house, who was rapidly publishing his
advertisements during the dull season,
being interrogated by the editor in re-
gard to his policy replied The very
time of all others to crowd, sir; give us
the field when few advertisers occupy it,
and we care not how hard the times are
it pays us well at all times, because we
know how far to go, but especially 1t
pays us in times like the present, when
the most of business men in our line have
taken their hooks out of the water, think
ing there were no bites to be had; we
are satisfied that nothing has kept up a
constant run of trade for the last ninety
days but pushing our notice through this
dull season."

A Sad Sight.-The editor of the
Springfield Republican, who is not repu-
ted to be given to the nightmare, has had
some terrible sights in his day; enough
to nuke ones blood freeze in his veins.
Here are some of his wailings in regard
to them to which we invite the special
attention of all the bachelor tribe
There are sad sights in this world-a
city sacked and burnt--a battlefield after
great slaughter-London in the midst
of plague--a ship burnt at sea--a fam
lily pining in starvation-a jug of molass-
cs wrecked upon the pavement-but the
saddest sight to all, is an old bachelor
solidly walking towards his end, his great
duties undone, his shirt buttons off, his
stockings out at the toes, and nobody to
leave his money to. Were we such a
man, the mild, reproving eye Of a witness,
or maiden lady would drive us mad
But there is still hope. Uglier and older
man than any of our friends have married
a beautiful wife, who trained them adml-
rably and spent their money elegantly.

A War Between England and France.
hing election

Il The London correspondent of the New
Work Commercial, still insists that a war
Between England and France is inevita-
Die He aflirms, in letter of the latest
Hate, that came to hand by the Canada,
Ahat all the indications that have recently
transpired, point to but one conclusion,
namely: the determination of Louis Ma
bolcon to support his despotism by con-
4tilct with Great Britain. The first signal
of the struggle may, he continues, "come
hit any moment, since nothing could be
hlainer than that a pretext is now all
! hat is waited for. The refugee difficult
failed to answer the purpose at the
ime. but even that is still looked to as
,apable of affording the necessary mate
Trial for rupture, in case no other sub
iect should offer that will involve less
fragrant disregard of decency." The
writer adds: son the Perrin question
the thorough support Of Russia is fully
counted upon by France. Hence the de-
8sire to bring it into the Paris Conference
tBut the proposition seems TO be too i'm
Vnrudent for success, since it cannot be
Supposed that any of the other powers TO
Vi be represented in the Conference would
pretend that they or France or Russia
zcould have any business to interfere. -
Perrin, which is bnt Il barren rock, and
(which has never been occupied since the
4 British last had possession Of it hall a
century ago, belongs either to Turkey or
Itothe Imaum Of MuHat. Neither of these
has as vet made any claim or protest re-
2garding it, and it is only with them we
{could deal. The place is of no strate-
5getcal Importance, except as conyen-
&ient station in the highway of our Indian
communications. 1t threatens nothing,
y and can never be converted into an an
noyance to any other State. There is no
ground, therefore, on which any interna-
|tiunal objections can be based. The
lI,Imes has pointed Ills ont in very mn
Fdisguised terms, and has told Louis Ma
poIeon not to NEEDLE with our affairs in
which he has no concern, adding that if
ne is sensitive on the inalieuable charac-
ter of every possession belonging to the
Turkish empire, he can commence with
proof of his sincerity by giving up AL
geria."
