Advertising and its Results.

No better means to make ones
goods, wares. and merchandise, and
theiI particular merits, known to
the world, has ever been discovered
than through the medium of news
papers. Whether commercial, po-
lltical, literary, religious, of what
ever sect, party, or authorship, all
have their circulation and influence.
How many successful business men
could be enumerated who owe their
high pecuniary position to advertis-
ing alone! How many plucky firms
are taking the lead, monopolizing
certain lines of business, simply by
iudicious advertising! There is not
in existence an article of value that
is not worth publishing to the
world.
We have now in mind one firm of
which we can speak with certainty.
We refer to the house of j. K. Bar
rett & Co., of this city, the gentle
manly and popular PROJECTORS of
that indispensable article known as
Barretts Vegetable Hair Restora-
tive" Two years ago this prepare
ton was scarcely known outside OF
this section to. day there is not a
city, town or Borough this side OF
the Pacific where this excellent
" Remover" is not known and ap.
prcciated, and is, we learn, rapidly
supplanting all others. To be sure
this preparation possesses real mer
it, ana is far removed from all the
vile noStrumS which constantly food
every market. 1t also received the
endorsement of the Agricultural SO
ciety in 1866, which awarded its
highest premium Ca Silver Medal

remedies. Yet" Barrett'S Hair Res

vertising.

The recent amnesty, then, is
not inconsistent with the proscrip

acts, but does actively and conclu-
Sively change the subject matters on
which they operate, just as death,
l, moval, or special act of Congress
changes them. The acts do not
count the number or rccite the names

amnesty takes persons from one

A CHAMPIoN.-The Davenport Democrat
attempts TO defend the Mendelshon society
from the exposition, true and circumstanciAl,
which we gave of the concert of last Satur.
day evening. The Democrat says "it was
written by one who was unquestionsbly not
an habitual contributor to the ARGUS" The
Democrat is labOring under an emphatic err.
ror. No one il allowed the privilege of our
editorial columns to critGise anybody. IL
it had not been written by us, and Of our
own volition, it would not have sp
peared in that department of our paper, but
would have been printed as a comrnunica'

verify" and attempts to defend the sssocia-s
ton as composed of singers who do not pre-.

mistaken. The criticism was Just, in every
respect, as will be attested by any candid in
dividuAl who was in attendance Saturday
night. We believe in the expression Of q
candid opinion by newspaper, and in in.
dependent journalism. We think that the
society has placed itself without the pale Of
our retaining hand by its attempts, emf.
nently abortive, to produce few artistic 80
los worthy of people, admission fees. The
Democrat, by trying to cover up, even to It,
self, the faults of these persons, has destroy.
ed its independence in the matter. Every
thing public should be criticised through the
public press, and it is our perfect and un
deniable right to give our opinions when.
ever and wherever we please, 1t is time the
Mendelsohn society, as well as every thing
local and transient, should discover that the
press of this region will lock at them and ex
press, without fear or favor, whatsoever opin-
ion the circumstances warrant. It is not
"ungentlemanly" to tell the truth, when our
