purpose of enlargement, although 1t is still

It might have been more easily at

In the mattr of advertising, the eight page
form is questionable experiment Ia Western
cities. Advertisers are AWARE that their bnsi-
ness is less exposed to the notice Of readers,
when placed on the inside pages of quarto,
than on the inside Of a folio, md less on the
inside Of auy newspaper than on the o7tside-
In cities like New York where advertising is
very heavy, and where the circulation Of lead
Ing newspapers Is very large, publishers can
command their own terms, and place adyer-

Singular Death Of Or. J. L. R3ddelI.
af New Orleans.
fFroro }fa A.a,x 1rtc,ns TI~ez 9Th

We were pnined this morning to learn of
the death Of Or. j. L. Rlddel1- Nervous ex-
element consequent on an unpleasant littla
episode which occurred nt the first days ses-
sion OF the Louisiana State Democratic Con-
yention was probably tho direct cause Of bis
untimely departure hence. In organizing the
Convention, the Doctor remarked that "se-
ccsslon was worse than a crime; It was q
blundcr." The remark touched a sensitive
chord In the moral and political structure Of
the assembly, and 1t was consequently u.s.
sailed as false In morality, aud, as far as poll
tics were concerned, as ill-ti,ned and indfs-
Greet. On the Doctors promise that he would
make proper explanation In the public pa
pcrs on tie following morning. the matter
was dropped. That evening tho Doctor went
to the o1hce Of the Star, and while engaged in
writing the promised explanation, a5 fell on
the iioor In IN apop1cctic ft. Therrupon he
was removed to his residence, but he never
recovered, md he died this morning, between
and O'Clock.
DR.. Rlddell was one OF the best botan1sts
and chemists of Louisiana OF of the South,
and very widely known. He was Postmaster
at New Orleans under Mr.. Buchanan and also
under the Confcderncy, though he was always
Union man and always opposed to ssces-
sion. Ills death vas singular.
