ADVERTISING SALES OF PROPERTY.

The lancaster Pa HsteIigeacer, in speaking
of the Importance and great advantages ofadver-
Using sales of property in the Newspapers, in ad-
dition to having handbils printed, very truthful
ly says:
IA newspaper is read by hundreds who never
see the attractive bills which are posted in the
taverns and the store rooms. Every subscriber
to a county paper reads all such advertisements
carefully. He knows who is selling out and ex-
acty what is offered for sale. The advertise
ments are n topic of conversation when friends
meet, and arrangements made for attending
sales. The result is large crowd, spirited bid
ding and a realization of ten, twenty or fifty times
what it cost to advertise No money is so sure to
return large profit as that spent on printers ink
A single additional bidder a single article will
pay all it cost to advertise sale personal prop
erty in newspaper Is it not strange then, that
any one should fail to advertise? Let our friends
think of the matter"
We have the pleasure of announcing that Ma
jor John B. Watts was duly commissioned, on
the 18th of December last deputy Vice-Presi-
dent of the 9Th District of the State Council of the

Ozone Remedy for Consumption

The only valuable property that cod-liver oil
possesses for the cure of consumption consists in
its ozone. But the nauseous taste and the bad eff
fects of its grease the hillary system make this
remedy of no avail, but more a harm than q ben

All plants growing by the seaside have consid-
cradle ozone in their nature and are only valua-
BILE for the cure Of consumption in proportion to
the quantities of ozone they may have imbibed
from the atmosphere.

to the publisher, Mr.. James A.
Gresham, 90 Camp Street, New

"Recollections Of Henry w.

This is a neat, elegant and well
executed work of APO pages, adorn-
ed by fine steel engraving.
Carlyle says ''that as rich as we
are in biography, a well written
life is almost as rare as a well spent
one." In this work we find the
rare combination of both-a well
spent life and a well written biOg-
raphy. 1t is choice work, and
every Louisianian will, doubtless,
seek to be better acquainted with
the life of one whose monument"
will stand forever, "reared in the
living heart of love- by all who
knew him best-the polished gen
tleman, chivalrous soldier, honest
statesman and revered patriot
HENRY WATKINS ALLEN.
Forrest Pilgrim and other
Poems," byM. f. Bigney. This is
a neatly bound and well executed
volume, and the production of one
of our most gifted and able South
ern editors and authors.
We can especially Recommend
this volume to the favor of a gen.
erous Southern public, believing
that every one whose good fortune
it may be to read it, will find, as
we have found, a pleasant and
agreeable book.

"The editors remarks about

community at all. 1t is true such
things are done here occasionally,
but who by? A few highly re-

a dignity in suffering, when it is
not accompanied with manifesto
lions of a craven spirit, which
commands respect. Let us be
true to ourselves. Let us be calm
and thoughtful and wary, and
avoid excitement. This is not the
time for precipitancy and rash
ness. Steady, we say, keep cool
and wait.
In conclusion, speaking alone
our own individual sentiments
not the public expression of the
day-we shall offer no factiOus OPP
position to the course, which this
State or the Southern people may
think proper to pursue in the
emergency now pressing upon us.
But it is our honest conviction,
that when we have complied with
all the conditions of our ''masters,r
even under protest, we shall have
reached the depth Of humiliation
and degradation, and that no pos
sible state of affairs could be
worse. What may be forced upon
us, we can bear-but shall we lend
a hand to effect our own dishonol
and ruin?
