its rapidly increasing sales show its growing pop

Newspapers and Business Men.

The Fredericksburg Ne,os says that there arc
some merchants or traders in Fredericksburg
who are trying to carry on business without
advertising Those men are going to break,
and that before very long. We are sorry fol
them They can't even see that the merchants,
&c.. whohave prospered most, eues since the aoar,
have advertised most literally. They charge two
or three times as much for their goods as they
did before the war, and complain of newspaper
charges because they are not the same as be-
fore the war. The expenses of newspaper are
exactly doubled, while their rates of subscription
and advertising are not increased an average
of fifty per cent.
But ''the times are so dull, and we can't af-
ford to advertise" As general rule the public
can afford to buy Of merchants who can't at
ford to advertise. Here's a paragraph for all
such.
Dull times are the very best for advertisers.
What little is going on, they get; while others
are grumbling, they pay their way, and, with a
newspaper for life preserver swim on the top
of the water, while others around are sinking"

Republican Philanthropy.

Some days since, Prudence Nye, an old lady
eighty two years of age, was sent to this city by
the authorities of Boston, who gave as reason
therefor that she was chargeable upon the city
of Albany She had resided in Boston thirty
five years, previous to which she resided here,
where her husband carried on the butchering
business and died Our authorities sent her
back to Boston on the afternoon of the same
day, at her own request but to their shame
be it said, only gave her sufficient money to
pay her fare to Pittsfeld, where some benevo-
lent person furnished her with means to carry
her to Boston. She arrived in that city on the
9th of April, and stopped with an acquaintance
for day. She then sent word to the poor au-
thorities, and again asked for admission to their
aims house Understanding her request was
granted, she prepared to go to that retreat for
the unfortunate She was taken from her
friend house, as she supposed, to be brought
to the aims house, but judge of her surprise
when she again found herself in the cars bound
for Albany.
She had not personal interview with the
overseer of the poor of Boston, but understood
it was through him she was sent to this city,
where there is not human being whom she
knows. This cruel treatment by both the Bos-
ton and Albany authorities of feeble and In
firm old woman, who can at best live but brief
period, is likely to result in her dying on the
trails. " What has become Of the boasted be-
nevolence of Boston? what of the proverbial
hospitality Of Albany? Radical Black Repub-
licans rule in both cities, and they delight in
such economy as this. Thank God, their rule
in this city is short.-Al5any Argus
