WHO WANTS SHIPPING CLERK?-It has
sometimes, by parties who are too short
sighted to let people know where they dc
business, and what wares they have for sale
been asked, 4" who reads an advertisement p
There are some who have had considerable
experience, that know how to answer the
question. We have case in point. Yes
terday morning there appeared in the col
umns of this paper the following dIninutive
notice, printed solid and /" displayed "
no more than the reader sees it here:
TWvO SHKPPX.N-6r [.LRRHS-.gsN~ IN
AM dustrious and experienced shipping clerk is
wanted in wholesale house. None but good
writer and experienced man need apply. Address
B. w. & Co., at this Office, giving amount of salary
expected and city references
Is it supposed that anybody saw it or read
it2 The fact may be inferred from the cir
cumstance that up TO o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon only seventy-six answ ers had been
received Messrs. B. w. & Co., therefore,
who on Wednesday were so much in want
of shipping clerk as to take the trouble to
advertise for one, are to-day, Friday, so
overrun with applications that we apprehend
their dilemma will be almost as great as
before, in selecting one who will suit.-Sf.
Louis Republican.
We copy the above for two purposes 1st
to show the utility Of advertising; I'd, as an
indication of the extent of the rush to st.
Louis, and the strong competition there is
in business in that city.

LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION

B8-The Governors of Ohio and Wiscon.
sin are out in favor of colonizing the free
negroes in Central or South America
Why not Africa2 Why not rally around
the Colonization Society, and create induce
ments to the free negro to go to his native
soil 2 1t would be a far more statesman
like movement Exchange.
If politicians would make as much effort
to forward the African Colonization move
ment as they do to make a disturbance about
slavery, and to keep the country In tur-
moil-that movement might not only be-
come perfectly feasible, but certain to thrive,
to drain this country of its negroes, and
ultimately to undermine slavery by depriv-
ing it of its supply of fresh Africans.
Providence must have some hidden, yet
wise, design in view through the instrument
tality of slavery; that design, probably, is the
civ1rfzaSon and fChristianization of Africa
We believe that that benighted land is des-
tined to become enlightened, through colo
nization from this side of the water, by in
ligent negroes. Therefore, we reason that
the Colonization cause is certain to prosper
and ultimately to triumph. We are expect
ing every year that it will suddenly rise
into importance; and when the people get
perfectly sick of quarreling about slavery,
as they must, they will begin to look to
African Colonization as a remedy for our
great National disease. When the people
begin to think and talk, then will politicians
begin to act.
Central or South America is not the place
for the negroes. Remove them as far as pos
sible from the white man-take them to
Africa, where they came from, and where
they belong.

HeA. The Geographic Congressional news
published on Saturday morning shows that
the Republicans have made a narrow es-
cape from being beaten, by their fool-hardi-
ness in hanging on SO desperately to Sher-
man. If they continue to do so, they will
be beaten. Unless they drop him and take
up Corwin or some other more conserva-
tive man, they will injure themselves be-
fore the people. We have thought for sew
eral weeks that they have been taking an
unwise and censurable course.

BGr Col. John Spencer, an old citizen of
Fort Wayne, died in that city on the 10th
of January, in the sixty-third year of his
age. He formerly resided in Dearborn coun-
ty, where he was Sheriff number of years,
and Ensign, Captain, Adjutant, and Colonel

pointed him receiver of public moneys at
Fort Wayne, in 1881, which Office he held
until 1910. He was intimately versed in
the lands and locations of Northern Indiana.
He was Free Mason of thirty-6ve years

STORY OF THE LATE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
Alexander Dumas has published singu-
lar story concerning the late Gar Nicholas
of Russia, viz: that after the disastrous
news from the Crimea of Russian defeats,
the Gar resolved to die Should he yetrace
his footsteps and abandon his policy, he
would have to give the lie to a reign of thir-
ty years. Should he persists in carrying on
the war, he would ruin Russia. But what
he could not ask for without loss of honor,
viz peace, his successor might. He there
fore, by pressing solicitation, obtained from
his physician who had previously resisted
for two months, dose of poison strong
enough to allow him to live few hours at
ter having taken it. The physician left st.
Petersburg on the 18th of February, hav-
ing obtained from the Emperora declaration
in writing which made him safe at all
points. On the morning of the 18th the
Emperor swallowed the poison, after which
he sent for the Grand Duke Alexander, (now
Emperor and told him ALL The latter
would have cried out for help, but the EN-
peror prevented him by an order so positive
that, as son and a subject, he could not
disobey his father aud his sovereign. Then
the Emperor explained to him in detail the
motives which induced him to take this
heroic step. The young Prince, broken
hearted the tears streaming from his eyes,
his utterance choked by sobs, listened to the
dreadful narrative on his knees, and clasped
his hands exclaiming, my father my faith
er !" The Emperor would not allow him
to quit his side until he had obtained from
him a solemn promise to let death take its
course without attempting to stop it. But
the instant the young Prince was out of the
room, his flial love triumphed over his
fidelity to his word, and he summoned the
whole royal family, and also three physi-
clans. The latter arrived too late. The
Emperor, after not very violent agony,
expired at twenty minutes past twelve, at
noon, on the 18th of February, 1856. AT
the same instant Russia changed not only
her master but her policy.

The straight-Line Railroad.

We think this thing has lain dead dog
| quite long enough. Ii there is any possible
| chance of wrestling it from under the con-
troll of Willard Carpenter & Co., it could
and would be completed from Evansville
as far as this place, in a very short time.
We think Evansville folks ought to endeav-
or to movein this matter. and make one
more effort to arrest the course OF the pres
ent managers of the road, and get it into a
shape that it may be completed.
It has been argued that the completion of
this road will operate against the interests
of the Evansville and Charlottesville road !;
but this cannot be, and it must of necessity
build up Evansville more than any other
enterprise ever projected. AT present, great
trade goes east which Evansville would get,
if there was any way of reaching that point,
except the present expensive and uncertain
way. In the grocery line, Evansville can,
and we believe does compete with Cincinna-
ii, but the great expense in freight and the
delays, drive our merchants to the last named
place.
Now, we do not know the condition of
the road, nor the possibility of doing any
thing in relation to it; but we should like
to see the Evansville folks stand up to their
own interests; if they do, and succeed in
getting the right kline of Directors, every
county along the line will aid in the work
that is to increase so per cent. the business
of that place.
People all along the line did subscribe
stock, and this stock is worthless, and many
who have subscribed land intend standing
a law suit with the hope of getting their
lands back. But, let there be any assurance
that the road will be completed, and none
of them will hesitate in aiding il the enter
prise.
Let the road be laid out to this place, and
from our town there will be help, provided
our citizens are assured that honest men are
working it. The grading this far has been
nearly completed; but of course is now in
very bad order, but the whole line from
Evansville to this point could very soon be
completed, if anything could be done to
restore confidence in the concern. This the
people of Evansville must do if it is ever
done. They are the people to be benefited
by it, and they must make the right steps.
We hope something may be done against
spring to revive this road, aDd when it is
revived, we may have some hope of its COM
pletion. There has been too much work
done on it to be lost.-Petersbwgh Reporter.
