A correspondent of the London Times
states the remarkable fact that the Oueen

The ADVERTISING columns Of our city

We commend the following paragraph
to all bnsiness men:
Cant y0u 1--WE me- a notice i'm the local
column?-nohody reads the advertisements
you know''--W- are sometimes told by
those who do not know the art of adver-
tising.-.Ihc reply in this office, To. the
/ gu stion above is i'm the negative. unless
the matter of which notice Is wanted is of
genuine public interest, and II is therefore
due our readers that we should state il for
their benefit. But the idea that no one
reads advertisements, is proven erroneous
by all who have ,any experience bearing
on the subject. The truth is, more people
who are interested in n special class ofad-
vertisements, read them, than read any
other part of the paper. For example
those who wish to buy horse look under
the head of horses for sale, every day with
much greater regularity than they read
the telegraphc advertisement under dis
play heads, The remark applies to all who
are in rant of any particular thing that IS
To say exactly 10 the persons advisers wish
10 reach, Therefore an al dverlisement is
auvantageously conspicuous, not in pro-
portion as il is displayed in large type. or
in particular place in a paper. but ac-
cording TO its classification under..an appro-
PIRATE head. where people are accustomed
to look for things needful. And this we
will mention for the benefit of all concern

b. PREPARING FOR \ SToRM.-A few
nights ago, Mr.. Bodkin-who had been
out taking his glass and pipe--on going
home late, borrowed an. umbrellas; and
wien his wife's tongue was loosened, he
sat up in bed, and suddenly spread the
parachute. What are you going to do
with thai thing?" said she. "Why, my
dear, expected very severe storm to-
night, and so came prepared" In less
than twenty minutes Mrs. Bodkin was
fast asleep.

wander round the buiding he catches sight
Of this mans bowed head, aud a look Q.
grave wonder settles on the little face. The
child, all unporceived by the mother, escapes
from her side, aud then his tiny sipperod
feet steal softly to where the sleeper sits. Il
is a pretty sight: innocence pcettng into the
face OF slumber Evidently he thinks the
man is weeping, for he lays his little hand on
the bowed head with caressing notion
The light touch rouscs the slumbcrer. for he

NEW YORK, october 19.-Frank Ferris, other.
wise called Francisco Ferrero the wife muir
dercr, was executed in the jail yard in this city
at 0'46 A. NJ. to-day. While under the gaIlows
he sang hymn, during the pauses OF which he
fervently kissed crucifx. At the conclusion
Of the hymn, Father Duroquet, who attended
Ferris throughout, recited prayer which the
latter repeated after him.
Ferris then made few remarks, saying, In Q
tremuIous voice, that he was about to die; bat
was innocent. His hand was guilty, but his
heart was pure. He also said there was more he
wished to speak, but he had told it to Father
Duroquet. He bade all good-by, and thanked
Sheriff Kelly feelingy for his kindness. He
thanked all who had been kind to him, and said
he was sorry he had caused them so much
trouble
The hangman then approached, adjusted the
rope, and the signal was given. For moment
there was a contraction of the muscles, but this
soon ceased. The body was cut down after
hanging tor ten minutes.
