Benehts of Advertising.

Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia, who
made an immense fortune in commercial
pursuits in Philadelphia, gave the following
testimony to the benefits of advertising:
Il have always considered advertising,
literally and long. to be the great medium
of success in business, and the prelude to
wealth and have made it an iuvariable
rule to advertise in the dullest times, long
experience having taught me that money
thus spent is well laid out as by keeping
my business continually before the public,
it has secured me many sales that would
otherwise have lost
Commenting on the above, the american
Raitscay Times says that it is just the ex-
perience of ninety men in hundred,
who are in regular business. Some men
think that they are so well known that they
need not advertise. They make a great mis-
take. L often happens that the profits of a
single sale, made through the influence of
an advertisement, in some respectable news
paper, will more than pay for the advertise
ment for ten years. We have known cases
of even more beneficial results than this !:
but moments reflection will teach any
man that he cannot afford to keep his sign
out of the newspapers, which he knows is
read by his customers, in which his COM
petitors have theirs displayed.

the appointment of Governor of Kansas
Territory. rendered him by the President in
consideration of his distinguished ability,
eminent services, etc., ETC.. but more par
ticularly on account of his experience and
success in ushering the Minnesota bantiing
into the Union, with general outfit of bo-
gus officers; feat which, unfortunately for
the Administration. has been rather bung-
lingly managed in Kansas. If the eligibil-
ity of the appointment is to be Judged by
the services required, this is one eminently
fit to be made. By his services in the Min
nesota parturItion, Col Medary is not only
entitled to the confidence of the President,
but has fairly earned the offs of Admins
tration midwife to all the fetal States
Nor need there be any fear in this case that
the benevolent purposes of the President
will be thwarted by any conscientious scru-
pies or distractions about the wishes or
rights of the people of the Territory

tend the blessings of government whisky

The Tirnber of Kansas.

Few people who have not lived In prai-
RE country, have any conception of the
growth of timber In Kansas. This growth.
during the four years since the first settle-
ment of Kansas, has entirely changed the
appearance of the country In some localities.
Timber fiourishes and grows upon our prai
RES as we'll In any country, provided the
fire Is kept out 1t, is these annual fires
which have swept over the country year af
ter year, burning the young growth, and
causing the scarcity of timber, which was
apprehended to be a serious drawback to
the settlement of the country. But since
Kansas has become populated, the fires IN a
measure have been prevented from entering
the young timber; and now, where a Jew
years ago the bald prairie was conspicuous
for Its barrenness, many groves of young
and vigorous timber change the character
of the scene.
Among our many varieties of timber, we
have those best adapted to the wants and
comforts of man. The walnut, every yari-
ETY. of oak, hickory, pecan, coffee bean. elm.
wild cherry, locust, linn and cottonwood,
all grow to giant size, and afford an almost
endless variety, and an inexhaustible supply.
The walnut is the best timber we have |;
not only because of its large and general
growth. but also because it will well supply
the place of every other variety.
1t Is an excellent building timber, good
fire wood, and owing to its susceptibility of
a fine polish, makes the best furniture. The
oak ranks next. We have as many as sew
en- different varieties of the same species,
all of them well adapted to the wants of the
farmer. All of the other varieties of tim
Der are useful for particular purposes.-Ex.
