Truth Stranger than Fiction.

The past history of The families Of

incidents, some of which are probably
not generally known to our readers:
These two monarchs, few years
ago, so cordially united in the struggle

American ladies'; the one grandson,
ana the other great grandson. These
ladies' were born in the same neighbor.
hood, on the Island of Martiniuus. one
OF the West Indies. They were of
French origin, and companions and in.
innate friends. in childhood and youtl,
They were Josephene dc Tascher and a
Miss S. The history of Josephine
is generally known. She vert to
France, and was married to NJ. de Beau.

/ time after the the deatIof Beanharnais.
Josephine was married to Napoleon
Bonaparte, and became Empress of
France Her daughter, Hortense, was
married to Louis Bonaparte, then king
of Holland; and the present Emperor
OF France IS her son by this marriage.
But now for the romance of the af.
fair. Josephine's bosom friend Quilted
the Island of Martinique some time be.
fore she did. But the vessel that was
carrying her to France was attacked
and taken by Algerine corsairs, and the
crew and passengers made prisoners, but
the corsair ship was, in turn, attacked
and pillaged by Tunis pirates, and Miss

DODGEVILLE, WIS, THURSDAY, SEPTENIB
Fall Trade.

The last few weeks have been rather dull,
but we are glad to see that business is
again reviving, and the promise of large
sales and quick returns is good; and the
merchants who take the proper means to
secure the trade, will be well and literally
rewarded. The question then arises, what
are the proper means to secure large
share of this trade? The best, cheapest,
and quickest way to secure customers is
undoubtedly to advertise, advertise liber-
ally, let persons know what your business
is, what you can do, and what you have
for sale; spread broadcast over the coun-
try cards, posters and circulars, and insert
an extended advertisement in your county
paper; and if there are persons in the
county who want work done in your line,
or need what you have for sale, most as
suredly you will get their custom, and
they will come to you before going else
where.
Times have changed wonderfully in the
last few centuries. In the middle Of the
seventeenth century the shop-keepers Of
London made known their business 0iUa
ooce The masters or proprietors would
take a turn before their doors, crying
"What dye lack, sir !? what dye lack,
madam % and then run over list of
commodities they dealt in. This demo-
cratic ,era was succeeded by the age of
signs, which genius soon improved by
all imaginable devices. AS the capabilities
of the printing press were developed,
shrewd men. saw in it a chance to 'univer-
salize their sign board;" they saw that
they could place upon it not only their
name and number, but full account of
their stock, and their range of prices; they
saw that they could challenge the attention
not only of those who passed by their
store, but of men in all places and at all
