POOR BILL STOKES.

If there is q man in the world that
deserves our pity it is Bill Stokes lie
has undertaken II job that would be
futile for the best intellect and is utter,
ly preposterous for his. AS "pride
goet4 before q fall as tie fool set.
tcth his own snare so he has prepared
!; pit into which his poor, bleeding,
mangled vanity and s~elt,conceit will be
tossed every day that he meets Ether
idge ip debate. .
The peculiarities Of Stokes are the
peculiarities Of that %pugnacious little
bull that tried to butt the locomotive
OIL the bridge. We admire his pluck,
but what shall we say Of his discre.
ton? Ethcridge will play with him as
if he was toy, 4 jumping jack. He
will pitch him in the air, lie will roll him
over in the mire, he will make him
howl louder and blush redder than lie
ever did in his life before. 1t will be
indeed the sacrifice Of q donkey, the
mourniil exhibition Of much hardihood
and little wit.
OF all the men in tho State to pit
against Etheridgc, we know of none so
decidedly unequal and inappropriate as
Stokes. He was Ethcridsc's colleague
in Congress. They roomed together.
Ethcridge knows all his weakness and
little short comings. He used to tell
him what to say and show him how to
speak. But the lesson he has in store
for him,will exceed all the lessons ofthe
past. It will be u lesson for all the
future.
We are sorry for Stokes He does
not deserve much sympathy we know,
but his condition and prospects are so
pili0blc! Think Of the skiniling, think
OF the roasting, think of the three
months agony before linn Those
that arc in torment are happier than he {;
those that are damned are to be envied
by the side Of him. Poor Stokes!

1.-THE advantages of advertising"
have just received curious and
amusing illustration in Boston. A
wealthy gentleman of that city, who
owns a country residence in the
suburbs, becoming dissatisfied with
it, determined TO have another, and
instructed an auctioneer famous for
his descriptive powers to advertise
it in the papers at private sale, but
to conceal the location, telling pur
chasers to apply at his oflice.-In a
few days the gentleman happened up
on the advertisement. was pleased
with the account of the place, showed
it to his wife, and the two concluded
that it was just what they wanted,
and that they would secure it at once.
So he went to the office of the auc-
tioneer and told him that the place
he had advertised was such place
as he desired, and he would purchse
it. The auctioneer burst into laugh,
and told him that that was the des-
cription of his own house, where he
was then living. He read over the ad-
vertisement again, pondered over
'the grassy slopes" beautiful Wis
tas," smooth lawns" etc, and broke
out:-''Is it possible. Well, auc-
tioneer, make out M bill for adver-
Using and expenses, for, by George!
I wouldn't sell my place now for
three times what it has cost me-

A BOLD HAND AT THE HELM, OR HELM
BoLp.-A paragraph has been going the
rounds of the press quite recently, stating
that Helmbold, the celebrated New York
Druggist, pays the Tribune OF that city
over $4,000 per year for advertising.
Helmbold's business must be immense to
enable him to pay such sum of money to
one paper out Of some fifteen or sixteen
hundred in which he advertises. BY his
judicious but at the same time extensive
advertising, Helmbold has made his "Bu-
chu and other proprietary compounds
standard remedies in almost every house
hold in the land; while the medical faculty,
whose appreciation is never gained for a
nostrum. not only recommend Helmbold's
preparation, but quite generally use them
in their private practice. IL some thou
sonds of business men, who have been con-
tent to Hlod along in the old fogy footsteps
OF their ancestors, who looked upon news
paper advertising as money thrown away,
had but possessed Helmbold's sagacity and
courage, they might, perhaps. figure quite
as largely In the IncomeTax returns
NelU York Times.

GERMAN THEATER IN Rock IsLAND.-A
number of gentlemen in this city, members
of the Turner Society together with a few
ladies, have formed a dramatic club, for the
purpose of giving German theatrical enter
tainments. They have fitted up the Turner
Hall with stage, scenery, seats, &c. &C., in
very neat style, and will open tomorrow ev.
ening, with the comedy of "Hempel or Dore
team ST. No. 99,"-after which there will
be social dance, for short time. Doors
open at o'clock. Performance common
ces at s. Admission 80 cents.
1t is the design of the club to give a pub
lie entertainment once in two weeks, during
the coming winter.
We are glad TO see this movement, and
hope our citizens will encourage it. The
entertainment will be in German. of course
but American citizens will find much to en-
joy, in the fine acting and if they learn the
story of the play from some of their German
friends, or from reading it, they will enjoy
it very much.

CHEAP PRINTING.-Country merchants
occasionally step into our Office on business,
and while here, take occasion to inquire the
price of certain jobs of printing. They are
generally surprised at the moderate cost and
seldom fail to give US their order for work.
We think that some country, and even some
city merchants, have an idea that posters,
bill-heads, statements of accounts, letter
heads, printed envelopes, cards, &C., cost
much more than they really do, or they
would order more work of that kind. The
cost of printing, in addition to the cost Of
the paper ITSELF is really trifing, and most
merchants everywhere would 6ndit economy
to use the printed forms. They act as a
constant advertisement, besides giving more
style to their business.

IMPORTANT TO SKATERs.-The following
from Halls Journal Of Health may save
those who indulge in the recreation of skat-
ing no small amount of discomfort:
"3efore starting for the ice, battle your feet
in cold water, dry them perfectly, and give them
good rubbing with crash towel, put pair
of wooden or heavy cotton stockings, and your
feet will remain comfortably warm for three or
four hours in the coolest weather"
Mr.. Halls advice is very good but we
reckon there are hundreds who go skating
who don't let water touch their feet once q
month.
