Value Of Advertising.

One of the best illustrations of the benefits
Of advertising which we have noticed lately,
was given a few days since in Barnum's Am
erican Museum in New York. e ..
It was ia the afternoon, just preceding the
exhibition in the g and lecture room at atime
when thousands of both sexes, all ages, and
nationalities Away throng every part of the
building. The great Snowman, who is always
present, personally attending to the wants Of
his patrons, noticed that Mr.. A. we'll known
as one of the weathiest men IN America, was
present, and that he appeared to be anxiou.ly
In search Of some one whom he could not find.
AS he was frequent visitor at the museum,
no particular attention YVES given to the fact
at the time. Some time afterward, however,
Mr.. Barnum noticed him again, in another
part of the museum, forcing his way through
the crowd, and still evidently pursuing ms
vain search With that spirit OF accommodation
characteristic of the man, Mr.. Barnum ap-
preached him to offer any assistance IN his
power, when Mr.. A. petulently accosted him
as follows:
"Mr. Barnum, am discouraged. have
been here more than an hour, looking for Mr.
M. of Boston. l have searched your Museum
through seven stories, from basement to attic.
l know he is here, but to fiud him in this
crowd is impossible. Can you or any one tell
me why SO many people come here every
day ?"
"There is nothing more easily accounted
for,n replied Mr. Barnum "In the first place
get something worth seeing and then make it
known that have got it. That's all.v ab
"Nonsense, said Mr.. A. People have gotin
the habit of coming here, and would ANYWAY.
l don't believe in advertising; it amounts to
very little. That's my opnion.n - x
swell, indeed, / am happy to know that
they have such good habits. But to show yo,,
that you are entirely mistaken, l will do lit
tie advertising for your own special benefit
and then you may be induced to change your
mind on that point" 5laeosa 5ias ! VI

The San Diego Dam. .

Among the numerous anecdotes of the late
Jonn Phoenix the following, which ought to be
considered as his boldest and best practicable
JOKE, seems to have been entirely overlooked
About the winter of 1855, Phoenix, then a
young bachelor Lieutenant found himself on
duty IN Washington, where in addition to his
other business, he managed to fall in love
with the fair daughter of the Colonel who
commanded him. Il mean the Colonel who
commanded him Whether his affection was
returned or not is unknown, but one fine
morning the Colonel summoned Phoenix to
the private office and addressed him to the
following effect: i-1 oe
Mr.. Phoenix, your abilities in your profess
sion are SO well known that / connot, with
justice, allow them to rust in the dull routine
OF bureau duties. A fine opportunity for dis
tinguished service now offers, and l Have civ
en- you preference which you merit. Here
are the drawings and specifications OF dam
to be built upon the San Diego river. Thirty
thousand dollars will be placed to your credit.
and the steamer will sail from New York to-
morrow. No thanks You deserve all that
can do for you. Apropos: My daughter,
Knowing that you will be pressed for time,
will not expect formal leaYe-takin.g Good
bye. Mr.. Ph9nixl Dam the San Diego river
to the best of your ability. l envy you the
fine opportunity, although, as have said, you
deserve 1t. You owe me no thanks. Good
byel SO saying, he bowed the young man
out of the office.
The steamer sailed, of course, (such is the
phrase, which is about as sensible as to saw the
sailer steamed,) next day, and in due time
Ph9nix arrived at San Francisco. After
proper course of delay, which he proved by
making the reconnaissance of the railroad
from San francisco to the Mission along the
central route" he appeared in San Diego,
and for three months that ancient city smiled
aud was gay. '.a51e slnlai''
In due course of time the dam was built:
but knowing that some original engineering
was to be expected of him, Phoenix while
complying strictly with his orders and draw
ings, placed the structure, not across the riv-
er, but along one bank, up and down stream.
"Therep said he, as he finished his last in.
spection. There is dam that will stand the
test OF time. When the river washes that dam
away, let them send me out again.
The Portland daily press., 1865-03-22
Established June 90, lses.-Vol. 4.


Thus saying, Barnum stepped to the door of
the lecture room, followed by Mr.. A. In front
was sea of upturned faces, anxiousiy await
ing the rising of the curtain and the commenc-
ment Of the play. While Mr.. A. was wonder
ing in what way advertising could be done to
benefit him, or how anyone could discover his
friend in such an immense crowd, Barnum
stepped upon seat, and calling in loud voice
said:
SIS Mr.. NJ. of Boston presenta If he is he
will oblige me by coming this way ?''
In another moment a man arose in the au-
dlence and made his way to the door.
"Now" said Barnum, "You have spent over
an hour in trying to find man that have for
you in less than minute. Instead of taking
the easiest and cheapest way, you took the
roundabout and costly way. Now whenever
you want anything, let the people know it and
II it is to be had, you will surely obtain it and
II you have anything to dispose of, do the
same, in other words, advertise. advertised
and you did not. You have seen the result
are you convinced ?" - n 80

Children.

When child is hurt, never hush it. 1t is
an inexcusable babrarity; it is fighting against
nature; it is repressing her instincts and for
this reason, if physical punishment is inflicted
on child, 1t is a perfect brutality. Gases are
on record where children have been thrown
into convulsjons in their efforts to silence. A
thousand-fold better is it to soothe by kindly
words and acts, and divert the mind by tell
ing stories, or by explaining pictures, or by
providing with new toys. We have many
time in our professional experience as to sick
children, found more benefit to be derived
from abeautiful or interesting toy, than from
dose of physic. The greatest humanity
mother can exhibit Ia respect to her sick
child is to divert, dioert 1t, DIVERT IT, in all
pleasing ways possible, as we ourselves who
are larger children, feel sometimes really
sick, when a cheerful face and much-loved
friend has come in, and before we know it
we have forgotten what was the matter with
us. HALLS Journal aabaoa se ~
