time she has compounded remedies for the use in
certain diseases in her own practice. Among other
compounds she has for many years made Salve

Low in great demand abroad, as well as in pri-
waite families and among the hundreds of men engage

The Value OF Advertising.

Mr.. S. FL. PARvIN, advertising
agent in Cincinnati, who transacts
business with a large number of
newspapers throughout the country,
gives the Commercial of that city the
following curious statement as to his
experience in these hard times:
The necessity of thorough but
judicious system of advertising was
never SO forcibly impressed upon my
mind as it has been within the past
few weeks, although L have studied
advertising closely for eighteen years.
With my customers those that have
advertised largely, and haze not cur
tailed the amount of their advertising

THE readers of the Evansville
JOURNAL are familiar with the name
of Colonel MANK. Believing for a
long time that he was patriotic SOL
der and true man, we gave him the
benefit of several complimentary no
tees. 1t seems, however, that MANK
was altogether unworthy the conf
dence reposed in him. After the
close of the war he figured somewhat
oonspicuously as Consul to one of the
Mexican ports, and became involved
in difficulty with this Government,
for which he was removed. His last
exploit was at New Orleans, and here
it is:
The Grand Jury of the United
States yesterday found a true bill
against General w. G. Mank, charged
with robbing the mails while an EN-.
ployee in the Post Office at New Or
leans during the regime of Mr.. Italia
Zero. His case will probably come
up at an early day. ''-Ne1o Orleans
Times.
General Mank is the Grand
Marshal of certain Democratic
clubs. 1t is somewhat strange that
any man occupying such an exalted
position among the honest, incorrupt-
ible Democracy should even be sus-
pected of robbing the mails. How
eyer. he is only carpet bag Dem

The Boston Journal contains some
facts with reference to the enterprise
and growth of the United States that
are very interesting. 1t says European
papers generally express surprise at
the rapidity with which the United
States is developing in all the ele-
ments of intellectual aud physical
wealth, and then specifies few items
which will, no doubt, surprise our
readers as much as they have the
people in Europe. We copy three
paragraphs:
England learns with astonishment
from the reports of her Commissioner
that single States like New York and
Pennsylvania expend more money
upon their schools than England and
Wales together appropriate for theirs,
