therefore have one more investigating

tees cost enormous sums for mileage,

same expense is promised the present
year. Where there is SO much smoke
there ought to be some fire. Charges
against men aud organizations are made
for money, wars continue for money,
negroes are governed for money, false
philanthropy and humanity thrive on
money, aud the almighty dollar was
never more potent, more selfish or more
successful than at present. And yet

Does it, Pay to Advertise?

Does advertising pay? The univcr
,l'answer is that it does, and there is
hardly person but can give one OIL
more instances within his knowledge oil
men who have made fortunes by adver'
Using. Ask net m rely the patent med
cine men, but so to men in ordinary
mercantile pursuits.
People are quite apt to go where
their attention is called, and if they mud
things as represented they will bestow
their patronage instead of spending
their time looking elsewhere.
There is no instance on record of a
we'll sustained system of judicious ad-
vertising failing of success.
TIE fact is, that advertising pays ten
fold better than all other Investments
that call for a like amount of expendi-
turc. There is nothing that pays like
advertising. 1t is, in reality, the only
royal road to wealth. Try it! Try it
in the DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE.
We do not claim to have the Largest
circulation iu Western Maryland" but
we do know that the 1000 persons who
weekly peruse its columns are going to
purchase where they can buy the cheap
est, and We advise all to try it. Re
member, advertising is to business what
goodlfertilizer is to the earth-it makes

THE RECTOR OF ST. ALBAN s.-The
n Y correspondent of the Cin3innati
Times, says The Episeopalians here
have various grades and degrees of creed
and ceremony. Rev. G. w. Morrill,, of
St. Alban's, in Lexington avenue, is the
EXTREMIST in his ritualism. At the cha
pei incense, mitres, croziers, banners,
and all tie elaborate forms OF Catholic
ism are to be seen Morrill, has the ii
tie of father. He has established .au-
rcular confession, and there is little
difference between his aud the Roman
service, save that his is 10 English.--
Many of his fair parishioners are dcvo
ted to him, and never weary in perform
Jug any tasks or sacrifices he may init
mate as desirable He is large, strong
man, the opposite of an ascetic in ap
pearance, positive, imperious at times,
and yet full of soft persuasion aud very
winning in bis manners.

The telegraph brings the sad story OF
a terrible disaster on the Ohio river,
caused by the collision Of two steamers,
the American and the United States,
both mail BOATS, on Friday night last.
The collision is attributed to a mistake
in giving the signals required by p issipg
boats. The United States had a quan
tity OF petroleum, on deck. to which lire
was in some way communicated, and IN
a few moments both boats were-envelop-
ed in flames, aud fHlallya entirely des
troyed, The loss of life was terrible,
the lowest estimate placing it at seventy
FIVE, and others at over one hundred.
On board the United States nearly all
the female passengers were either
burned to death or jumped overheard
aud were drowned.
