DOES IT PAY TO ADvERTISE.-The
Boston Journal says that leading
book firm in that city answers this
question as follows They published
an edition of a book of 500 copies,
and did not advertise it. In about 8
year nearly the whole edition remain
ed in their hands, as the author, who
was largely interested, did not think
it would pay to advertise. Finding
his book did not sell. he followed the
advice of his publishers and adver-
tised freely. His book has now gone
through seven editions of 500 copies
each, and the eighth is ordered. The
author now believes in advertising

Lightning-Rod SWindlers.

AS long as fifteen years ago We
warned the public, and especially far
mers, against the lightning-rod swind-
lers who travel the country aud impose
their bogus work upon thoughtless
or credulCus people. We had visi,
from them here in Germantown, and
we at once discovered the shameless
imposition, and took the first oppor-
tunity of exposing it in our columns
The principal operator called upon
us to get a job. We examined his
points, and found that, while very
fair and nice-looking one was carried
about with him as q sample, those
put on his rods were nothing but
zinc, and taking 4 knife we cut q
chip out OF it before his eyes. We
told him that if he did not leave the
place in two hours he should be ar
rested. He went.
But it was not simply the points
that were worthless in this case,
though their reliability is of the
utmost importance the rod itself
was a mere pretense. The pieces
appeared to screw into n box, but
they merely hung together and did
not meet for Il tpll inch, and these
screw-bOXes were also nade of zinc !
Latterly lIgh,ning-rod 1nen have
been operating III some OF the inte-
rior counties OF this State, in which
they are charged with swindling in
another form, to-wit: in obtaining
two or three prices for their work
by species OF dodge which they
have manipulated into y system.-
Nothing is said about the acorE they
do, and to this we would call atten-
ton at once. We doubt if any vi il
would stand 4 trial or be any protec-
tion against lightning.
The best way is 10 employ only
weILknOwn establishments t. put up
lightning-rOds. a good blacksmith,
after Obtaining platinum point, will
make and put up point equal to the
best. TIE booking together of the
pieces of rod is perhaps the safest
plan, and the lower extremity planted
at least three feet in the ground,
where it should be fastened to a broad
bar of iron, on which heavy stones
should be placed; or what is better.
a strong iron spring should be so
posted as TO keep the rod taught
Glass is wholly useless about q
for when wet it is as
good a conductor as any other sub
stance.
A cheap lightning-rod, be it re-
membered, is of no benefit at all
hence when a person is anxious to
be protected against this destructive
fluid he must make up his mind to
pay a fair price for first-class rod
as We have said, nobody can make
a better rod than good blacksmith,
if he is told what is wanted, pro-
curing for him the best ''point"
which is to be mad in all our large

A new and important Improvement
in the manufacture of horse collars
has just been devised Dy Philadel-
phia mechanic. The collar, being
stuffed with elastic cork, is light in
weight, and adapts itself tothe shape
of the animal as readily as if it was
nodded. 1t is highly elastic, does not
chafe or gall the neck, and the cork
being a non-conductor, injury from
heat is prevented.

AS winter approaches, the posi-
bility OF snow blockades on the
Pacific Railroad is suggested, and
in view of tie possibility of trains
being caught out on the prairie or
among the mountains, miles from
any station or settlement, it is urged
that each train be accompanied by =
provision car, stocked with sufficient
food and fuel to supply all the pas
sepgers for at least week. Imag-
inc hundred or more men, women
and children, bound in the midst
of howling waste, with the ther-
mometer at zero or below, and no
probability of succor for days to-
gether. The bare possibility of such
a disaster will drive all travel from
che road in winter, and its officers
ought to use every means OF pre-
venting it.

Economical Habits.

With certain limitations, it is true
that man who cannot save margin
from 4 small income will never save
anything from a large one. Wants
are always more plentiful than dol
lars. The habit of self denial is
rather more easily cultivated when
the means for supplying them are
limited than when more ample means
have created new tastes and desires.
Therefore. if you would grow rich
you must begin to acquire A single
dollar saved is is often q larger pro-
portion of actual necessities, than the
thousands your rich neighbor places
in bank. 4 dollar saved at twenty
will count as much as sixteen saved
at sixty. Many young men spend as
much in cigars alone, between the
ages OF fifteen andt twenty-five, sums
OF money which, ii properly invested,
would accumulate TO an amount, by
the time they reach fifty years, ample
to meet the necessities OF age, and
render them independent for the re-
mainder OF their days.

Extraordinary Case of Cat in the
Meal Tub"

In the court of sedate up>town magis-
trate, few days ago. some very singular cir
custances were developed in connection with
a somewhat aggravated case of matrimony
There lives in that part of the city an exceed
ingly old gentleman, who, a short time since
became enamored of a pretty girl from Ten>
nessee-a blushing damsel of seventeen-as
tender blossom as the rigors of this barbar-
Gus climate well admits of The seedy old
suitor had long since passed his seventeen
year, but to him seventeen and seventy were
all the same; and though the pretty Tennes>
seear gave him to understand that he did not
suit her, he could not bring himself to look
at the situation frOm her standpoint. He be-
lieved himself old enough to know what he
was about, and so pressed his suit. Getting
on the right side OF the mother of the dam
sci, he urged his property qualifications, and
offered that, should the girl marry him, he
would deed to her a house and lot. The
house aud lot were proposed to the young
lady, and taking n matter-of-tact view of
things, she consented to become the wife of
her ancient but ardent lover. The nuptial
knot was accordingly tied soon after the bar
gain was closed, but subsequently the discov-
cry was made that the property had not been
conveyed. The gentle bride ut once rebelled,
not she-the hoary- headed usurper. This,
however, didn't trouble the bridegroom much;
he thought she would get over it. She had
no idea of getting over it, though, and pre-
pared for war. She stopped talking and be.
gan to think-when n woman begins to think,
think means something. Quietly calling into
her service large Thomas cat, which had been
in her mothers family some six months, she
repaired to the bridal chamber and retired in
company with her feline pet. The unsuspect,
ing old bridegroom by and by retired too, and
all seemed peace within the nuptial realm
Fatal dclusion 1t was but the calm before
the storm Al the moment when the deli
cious Stiffness seemed to have fairly fastened
itself upon the baImy bridul evening, there
arose frightiul succession of the mot pro-
dieious ''ye-o-w>y o>ws" spitings. and other
demonstrations of feline wrath, that ever fell
upon mortal ears The old gentleman in re-
tiring, had disturbed Sir Thomas, and his fe-
line hishncss was literally playing hob under
the bed clothing. With doubled back and
tail erect. the cat made at the unfortunate
bridegroom. scratching him in a shocking
manner and sending him howlng from the
couch" and from the room. The triumph
Of the bride was signal hut next day the en-
ragged and still smartiug bridegroom had the
bride and the whole household in law. includ

taken before the nearest } ustice Of the Peace.
An elaborate investigation ensued. and the
result was discharge of the prisoners-com
