I POLICE CoURT.-Business is steadily i'm
proving in the police court, which is more
than we can say for the quality of the ga
loots captured. AS we gazed upon their
face :; bloated from the effects of the previ-
Gus days spree and lack of sleeping ac-
commodations, we could only wonder why
it Is that men and women will sacrifice
health, happiness. comfort and respecta-
bility to the transient pleasures flowing
from bowl of benzine. ,ss l9a1 l,. .s,ets
Charley welding took plain drunk, =
very plain one. He didn't do it on pur-
pose. 1t was sort of slip. He was dis
charged on the payment of the cose5's D
5 Albert Vincent was, on Tuesday, dis
charged from the Ohio Peniteutiary. Anx-
ious to celebrate his liberation, and to wet
his resolution to live better life hereafter,
he flew to retail bcnzine shop and histed
frequently if not oftener. Result, noisy
drunk, and "won't go home till morn
ing" disposition. He was fined SIS and
costs, and entered upon system of geolo-
gical study at the stone pile, in default.
William Howe, otherwise :" Blind Bill"
whose ability for grinding a hand organ or
getting up a fight is rarely equaH-
ell and never surpassed, on Tues
day, filled himself full or a very bad
article, even for benzine. 1t induced him
to kick up row, equal to any of his pre-
vious efforts in that line. The Mayor sem
fenced him to be confined for thirty days
in the county jail and fed on. bread and
water. If that style of diet don't tame the
devil in him, he amt tameable.
Cash. Cannon made very bad report
yesterday. He had been drunk and disor-
derby. Determined to throw hot shot into
the ranks OF the enemy, he opened the en-
gagement with roar, the police moved on
his works, captured and confined him. The
Mayor fined Cannon $40, which he paid and
went off. - lre rsihr41 rrtresS
M.ggie jackson, social evil, was drunk
and disprderly. The Mayor sentenced her
to ten days confinement in the county
jail. o, :. ss-9s so-i .s1.ls s.i-a7 Sd -
UNNEcEssARY.-The following, which
we clip from the Cincinnati Commercial
of yesterday, is uncalled for, not to say
unnecessary and unkind. The editor OF
the Journal who has Travelled, is not a
footman, never was a fOotman, and never
expects to be q footman. Why will the
Commercial persist in poking the crooked
sticks at straight people thusly? Is that
sheet ignorant of the fact that smart man
is improved by travel, and vice versa, If not
more vice than versa2 Have done, plebian,
have done! .s.s ~ yie7sf =. orr
The Ohio State Journal says, in the course
of virtuous article on the subject of the
civil service of the National Government:
"As long as tho Immense business of handling
the revenue Of the Cove -nment shall be intrusted
to men incompetent to handle q yard stick, with
les inq airy as to capacity and honesty than one
would make with reference to = footman. I" ~. .
The editor of the Journal, we suppose,
sports an article of footnan probably i'm
ported from the borders of the Lake OF
Como, where, as he recently informed us in
oil ho nfo nf a m U
and sensational character, he spent so much
of his valuable time, following an English
aristocrat, who was romantic, in an effort
to get up a healthy melancholy about the
remarkable magnificence of the human
heart. and occupying the midnight hour in
making pilgrimages equal to those OF Man
fred. We caution the editor of the Journal
not to allow the footman to write too many
leaders. .l f.-a =, ~ i--
HINTS ON ADvERTIsING.-The Inside
Track, says some good things in the follow
ing article which may be of Practical
value to some of our readers: 1
An advertisement Is not always valuable
in proportion to the space it occupies.
A short advertisement fonr times is bet
ter than a very long one once. "Brag is a
good dog, but Hold-fast is a better" r.
prominent advertisement once OF
steady card giving your business and ad-
dress.
Don't take down your sign in dull times
People read newspapers in all times OF the
year.
Ii business admits of it, several small ad-
vertisements, with your name repeated
every time, will avail more than the same
collected, with your name in only once.
Don't fear to have a small advertisement
by the side of larger competing one. The
big one can't eat it up.
Small advertisements, and plenty Oi
them, is good rule. We were all babies
once, yet we made considerable noise.
Don't advertise unless you have some
thing worth advertising. a.ol-
The easiest way in the world to throw
away money is to advertise iDjudiciously
The easiest way in the world to accumu-
late fortune is to advertise judiciously.
A double column once year is not sc
