is, just as likely as not, doing it in some way,
all the time. If tho merchant hangs a few of
his goods outside of the door-hc is advcrtis.
ing. If the cabinet maker hangs q chair or
other article of Furniture at his shop door,
he is advertising. If q man loses q horse O,
. COW and tells every ono he meets, he is ad-
vertising his loss. The Doctor who has q
boy to run into church and call him out in
haste, is advertising.
a man cannot do business without advor-
Using, and the question should be, the best
way to advertise. IF you have a lot of perso.
nal property to sell, which is best; to write
out a few notices that not one in fifty will
stop to read, or 60 to the printer and have a
lot of well displayed postcrs7 If you arc in
business of any kind, is it not better to keep
a regular standing advertisement in your
homo paper, that will stare your friends and
customers in the face every week, rather than
trust to the old fogy idea of-"Oh, they ali
know me 2"
But says Mr.. Saveall, advertising costs
money. Very true, and so does everything
else and it is q good thing for you that ad.
ycrtising does cost something. If it did not,
every little worthless concern would stand as
good a chance for being known as the very
best and most useful. If you want the people
to know that you have anything to sell, ad-
v~crtisc it in your home paper first, then in
your ncighboring papers. Tho man who has
a reputable business, and spends the most in
a liberal system of advertising, is the one
who makes the most money. This is a truth
we'll verified by the experience of those who
have tried it. A wagon may be made to run
without greasing, but its hard work so man
may manage to scratch along without advcr-
Using, but he will be very upt to sec his adj
vertising neighbor going ahead of him at a

Recommendations George p.
Wood, of Boston, Mass, was married on the
25th ultimo, at Beaufort, by Rcv. Arthur
Waddoll, a colorcd preacher, to Susan Ulmcr,
o colorcd girl. Wood, VIC understand, is from
a respectable family, and held a commission in
a Massachusetts, regiment, known as the Bay
State Cadets, during the late war. His gen
cral appearance is that of a gentleman. Tho
evening after their MARI 4ge Wood and Susan
promcnadcd l>ay-strcct in company with
another colorcd girl, and, on Monday morning,
took their departure for st. Helena Island,
where Wood has a store on one Of the p%lanta-
tons of lis uncle, Mr.. George Frost, a well
known importer of silks in Boston, Mass.
Susan is a native of Beaufort, and was owned
before and during the war by aplantcr on the
coast.
TIE number of people who have lived upon
the earth since the creation has been estimated
at about II, 900, 900 600, 900 900. This
sum when divided by 1851 00) the numb,r
of square miles, gives 1871, 1922, 036 to
square rod, aud ) to a square foot. Suppose
a square rod capable Of being divided into IL
graves, each grave would contain 100 person
so that the whole earth has been one hundred
times dug over to bury it's inhabitants, sup
posing they had been equally distributed

would cover the land to tho depth Of one hun

"Thc highest store rcns paid in Broadway is
that of 70. S. J%afray,s dry goods store, corner
of Leonard street, which brings $50, 900.
The highest hotel rent is that of the Fifth

but the most profitable of all its cdifccs is
Trinity building. This is occupied by Offices.
1t cost about 100000 and rents for near y
one,half that sum. Single Offices bring from
$1,000 to $4,000, and the coal trade is almost
entirely done there"
REpRIEvE OF CYRUS CoAcnMAN.-Just
as VIC expected, Cyrus Coachman, colorcd,
convicted at the last term of our court, of q
most deliberate, cold-blooded and brutal mur
dcr-a murder which, in tho language Of
Judge Rutland, Exceeded in brutality any
ho had ever heard or read Of" has boon re.
pricved. lilo was sentenced to be executed
on next Friday. Gov. Scott fixes tho execu.
ton for the 18th June.
Why should VIC be surprised? 1t was only
a white man Coachman killed. How long is
this mockcry of justice, this countcnancing
of murder, this encouragement Of outragcs
upon white people, to be endured?
