4 class rates, carried freights Of which SO
per cent. was fourth class. On the con-
trary, Mr.. Wilson, who exclaimed the
way bills of the freight actually carried,
says, page l26, that "fnn half Of it was
higher class freights, the lowest rate of
which is double the rate of fourth class
freight" Mr.. L'H., page LAG. alleges,
as one of the results of the Despatch,
that it had received more first, second
and third class freight than the eompa-
ny had previously been able to obtain" 4"
Can it be that more than 80 per cent.
of the through freight business Of the
Cincinnati and Toledo and Cincinnati
and Dayton lines was fourth class p? this
will surprise the freight men of the
country.
1t will be seen from the above re-
view Of the complaints of Mr.. L'Hom-
medieu that there is very little ground
to justify the deep sense Of injury that
is professed. The sensitiVeness must
proceed from other causes than any
actual injustice done to him by the
committee.
So far, on the other hand, from dis
paraging the G. H. & D. Road itself,
the committee have regarded it with
admiration and confidence. With the
advantage of its location between two
cities, through the most populous and
highly cultivated zegions of the west
of its tributaries bringing traffic from
every point of the compass without the
expense of soliciting agencies, and with
proper management, its stock must be
among the most profitable investment,
and its resources and credit the most
ample and undoubted.

Haitian Acre enough,

A shoemaker over in Jersey bought
half an acre lot. He was fond of fruit
and read the papers. The soil was wei
clay, and he selected fruit suited to the
climate. He built a house and put his
! land in condition to produce fruit
He had no manure but the droppings
of street cattle. In his leisure be
brought from the woods bark, rotten
wood, moss and leaf mold, and be mix
ed with the soil three feet deep. This
was done by degrees, and as fast as the
ground was prepared he planted fruit.
He become so interested and success
full that he retired from the cobbler's
bench. was his near neighbor and
knew him intimately His half acre
supported himself and wife comforta-
bly,, almost in elegance. She had no
servant, and had plenty of time to cul-
tivate flowers. Strangers enauired
about their beautiful home.
Isabella grapes and common cur
rants formed the bulk of his fruit
With a better selection his income
would have been larger. Others have
had the same success on small pieces
of ground.
One knew who supported his fami-
ly on one acre. Half was in grapes. the
crop of which in one season sold for
$500, and he had no labor bills to pay.

Always Patr0RIZe AdVer9i-
sing Houses.

Some one who knows what he is
talking about, thus discourses:
1--WE give this advice conseientiously.
When we see a business firm giving
proper publicity to their particular
branch of trade, we argue at once that
such house Is alive to the require
ments of the time. 1t implies not
only keen sagacity, but likewise that
sort of liberality which is sure to at
tract the attention of the trade. Many
establishments forego the benefits Of
advertising from a spirit of mere penu-
riousness. They reason in this way -
Should we ireur an outlay of $50 or
500, or $500, possibly we may never
get it back again-then it would be so
much thrown away" These are timid
men always, and properly belong to
past generation. The true man of
business, spprecisting the fair advan.
tages of being represented in newspa-
per columns, looks upon advertising
as bread cast upon the waters'-and
should he find no immediate fruits of
his expenditure, he rests at ease, being
fully satisfied that it will return after
many days
"The business house that displays its
advertisement in bold type and telling
words affords pretty safe index to the
spirit which animates a mercantile
establishment. We see it in life, ener-
gy, tact-in word, capacity to cope
with rivalry in the business world.
ait is fact patent to all observers
inthis direction, that advertising hous-
es' invariably do more business than
those that refuse or neglect to do So
Where the motive for this omission can
be traced to eloSsneSs or pGrsimoHy, it is
but reasonable to infer that they carry
this spirit in all business transactions.
There is sort of electro-magnetism in
business-attractions and repulsion-
positive and negative. Those who have !
the reputation of being liberal, enter !
prising, and sagacious, will always dis |
tance competition when governed by
the opposite elements.
I'VE are satisfied, both by personal |
and the concurrence of !
many practical persons who have the |
best evidence for what they say, that
as rule those ,0ho advertise deal tCitk 5,t,,
srs more adUantageO,lsLy than the houses |
that do not. The reasons are obvious
and philosophical. We conclude as
We began this article: Always patron
ze advertising houses"
