Mortality among Merchants.

There is something startling in the
thought that in our large cities only
three out of every hundred persons en-.
gagged in mercantile pursuits are fortu-
nate enough to retire with a compe-
tency, or bequeath pecuniary indie
pendence to their families. The pathway
of commerce, on the land, no less than
on the sea, is strewn with the wrecks
and remnants of craft which once as
stoutly breasted the storm and rode out
the gales as any that now fling their
proud penants to the breeze. Of the
merchants who, ten or twenty years
ago, controlled the business of our city,
and seemed certain of amassing for
tunes, how few to-day retain name and
a place among our men of wealth.
Rari nantes IN gurgite cGsto. For
eyery one we can call to mind as having
retired rich, thirty can be named who
have either sunk like lead to the bottom,
or by almost superhuman efforts and
sacrifices have only been able to keep
their heads above the surface. -Phild-
delDhiG Commercial List.
The moral to be drawn from the facts
above stated is embraced in the word
ADVERTISE. We doubt not that large
proportion of failures in mercantile
pursuits are attributable to the neglect
of the great principle of advertising.
Let mans place Of business be ever
30 well known to-day, he may be for
gotten in few years and his trade di'
verted BY his more enterprising neigh
Dor who knows the value and efficacy Of

The JamaIca Insnrreetinn.

Our readers have had laid before them
full accounts of the outbreak in Jamaica,
the horrible atrocities which attended it,
and its final suppression with the stern
retribution imposed by the authorities
upon the principals engaged in it, But
the accounts heretofore given furnish
no satisfactory explanation of why and
how it took place at ell The Boston
1raveller furnishes the following state
ment of the origin Of the difficulty
For great many years the authori.
ties have experienced considerable oppo-
sition in attempting to collect the taxes
from the negroes, who are mostly SQUAT
tiers, holding from two to fifty acres of
land, which, by ordinary industry could
be made valuable, and the natives secure
a good living and have plenty to sell and
obtain money to pay the taxes with.
The objection to paying taxes dates back
to eighteen hundred and forty-one and
seemed to increase with each year.
The tax collector of the st. Thomas
in-the-E East Parish, ascertained that
there were a. large number of people
who. owed back taxes for years, and he
was directed to visit the parties and col.
lect them. This part of the island is
extremely mountainous, and when the
collector went there a crowd immediate
ly assembled and at once drove him
from that locality. He reported the re-
suit of his visit to the Revenue Depart
ment, and then received orders to take
force and make another attempt
Subsequently some of the negroes made
an appeal to the Magistrates Court, and
appeared before Charles Anthony Price,
the Magistrate, and denounced the at
tempts to collect taxes from them.
The magistrate gave a positive de-
cision against them. From this Court
they appealed to the Superior Magis-
trates' Court, which was presided over
By Baron Won Kittleboldt. This magIs-
trate also gave decision similar to that |
of Justice Price, and also administered |
rebuke to them for their Incidence, !
and stated that there was no reason VIII. Q
they should not cultivate the lands toay
held, and have money, so that the .-teres
could be paid, and they could J. ,vs more

A mass meeting of the friends of tenn.
perance, all over the State to be held
at Indianapolis on Tuesday, the 9Th day
of December. The object of the as
semblege is to promote the cause of
temperance and humanity, and to secure,
if possible, some law to prevent saloons
from being established in any locality
where the majority of the people of the
township. city, town or ward are oppos-
ed to it. An appeal is made to the peo-
pie to show, BY their action, that them
selves and families must and will be
protected against the evils resulting from
the floods of intemperanoe that is delug-
ing the country and increasing crime.
We presume the convention will be q

1t seems that in letting the contracts
to carry the mails in the South, the
Postmaster General has discovered that
an enormous system of fraud formerly
prevailed in that business Postal serv.
ice has been restored over 1858 miles
of mail routes, at an annual saving as
compared with the former contracts, of
1896, 796. The old practice was to count
every branch route as commencing, not
at the point where it branched of, but
at the starting point of the main line.
Thus each main route was counted and
paid for anew as often as branch start
ed from it. 1t was by means of this dis
honesty that secession and treason were
provided with means of making war
against the Government OF course,
such a scheme could not have been
established and maintained without the
knowledge and participation of the
Democratic politicians at the head Of the

Gscd Advice 10 Southern LegisIa-
fUFe6

UsFku AuflNL W
lures
i Regarding the wise and human policy
Of the administration toward the recon-
structed States, as in some measures ex-
perinlental, and as test of the good
faith Of the Southern people, the New
York Times administers to their popular
and legislative assemblies a word of
wholesome advice, which they will do
well to heed. That paper says:
Doubtless there will be men in them
who, either from ignorance or malice,
will make ali the trouble they can. Let
them be known and avoided as pubic
enemies. Should the instigation OF such
malcontents prevail, an early recon
struction would be impossible. Never
for an instant is it to be forgotten that
the rebellion was completely conquered
by the National Government, and that
its surrender was absolute. Though it
is perfectly true that the States which
lent themselves to the rebellion did not
and could not thereby incur any forth
tude of their State existence, it is yet
none the less true that the great mass of
our people did make themselves amen
able to the penalties of treason, which
embrace every personal forfeiture. The
same constitution which secures the life
of the States, whatever be their mis-
doing, establishes the personal crime of
high treason, and in express terms gives
Congress an unrestricted power to de-
/ clare its punishment. A1 - -
The Government has Of its own good
will proclaimed a general pardon, a
comparatively small portion Only ex-
cspted, and the Northern people have
cordially approved its action But this
is no indication that the crime of trea-
son has become any the less abhorred
nor is it token of disposition to hu-
NOR disloyal spirit in any of its forms.
We're it once understood by the Govern
ment and by the Northern people that
the South meant to be perverse and fac
tious in doing what is reasonably re-
quired of it as preliminary to its re-
sumption of its constitutional powers, it
would be very quickly seen that liberal
ity is very different quality from
| feebleness. There could be no yielding
to the display of any such spirit by the
South. A determination like flint would
reveal itself against restoration claimed
in any such temper.
We conjure the Southern people to
repel all demagogueism agd all faction,
and to hold fast to the high impulses
which governed their first movements
back toward their constitutional posi-
ton. They have but to comply with
the reasonable requirements of the Gov
eminent, to be welcomed with forget
fulness of the past, and with promise
of their full share Of all athe glorious
fruits of the future. No humiliation is
asked of them; no sacrifice of any of
their real interests; nothing but what is
just in itself and requisite for tas future
concord of the country. t.sa

fact that 942, 1858 more males thar

During an interview on Friday,
between a citizen of Georgia and the
General, the question of reunion or sub.
mission arose, in the course of which the
General said "they had submitted with
no ilI-feeling toward the North" and
further, "that they we're compelled to do
it." He said it had been frequently
intimated at the North that the people
of the South were still of the opinion
their allegiance was due first to their

Bonner once paid us $1,000 for one in

He knew that by judiciously advertising
he could insure fortune. The old pre-
judice among druggists and physician
against advertising is dying out, and
they, as well as others, see that the
cheapest mode whereby they can make
themselves and their medicine known to
the public, is by wise and liberal sys-

I he Richmond Times reports that.:at

OF the sashes, horses, saddles, etc., were
loaned by United States officers stationed
there, and that notwithstanding this
kindness and civility ON their part, the
committee of arrangements passed q
resolution excluding them from the
ball given at night. The affair produced
q good deal of bitterness, and the com.
handing officer Of the garrison issued
an order the next morning that no am
bulance CT other United States property
should be used by the citizens. The
Vnginians meant nothing wrong. They
had never been taught better manners.
The Whole difficulty grew out of the
manner in which they had been raised.
