ADVERTISING AGENCY.--The st. Louis
Democrat thus speaks of new enterprise in
that city, which We hope to see very gener-
ally encouraged:
There are few commercial cities in this
country that possess the advantages OF "a
truly capable and reliable advertising agen-
cy to 80 great an extent as does st. Louis
through the Great Western Improved Nelcs-
paper 4drTtiSing Company.
In the Wegt this plan Of advertising is not
as well understood as at the East, where tho
appreciation and patronage of every class of
business is very general. But the Great
WeStcrn of this city, since its establishment
has made gigantic strides in the right direc.
tion, and is already one of the most popular
mediums of advertising in the States. The
business office Of this company ION Walnut
street, opposite the Southern hotel are cle-
gantly and admirably adapted to the busi
ness. Their files compries nearly one thou
sand leading daily and weekley papers, whose
circulation extends from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Oceans, from Canada to the Cuff Of
Mexico. The gentlemen now identified
with this agency are too well known to re-.
qure any endorsement from US. An active
honorable business career of from ten to
twenty years is worth more to these gentle
men and to the public than anything we
can say.

LIABILITY OF COMMON CARRIERs.-An ex.
change says "One by one the arbitrary rules
set up by railroad companies and other
Prasping corporations are brought to grief,
it only needs that they should be vigorously
contested by some person of energy
and persistence. One of their al bitrary reg.
ulations has long been that baggage or ether
property received by one company would
not be paid for by it if lost or damaged on
connecting line; but Chief Justice Perley, of
the Supreme Cour. of New Hampshire, has
decided that this rule is good for nothing.
He very seusibly held that where any prop.
erty is transported over railroad line com.
posed of several distinct roads, the original
company whi h received it is liable for the
loss or injury should any occur, whether the
damage be on its own road or any other"
The decision Of the Supreme Court of Hi.
nols is not only to the above effect, bat holds
that the plaintiff has his election to proceed
against either the Company originally re.
ceiving the baggage, or any subsequent line
as its agent.

Senator grimes, Letter.


The Washington correspondence of the
New York Times says that Senator
Grimes has been severely criticised on
account OF his letter to the London
Times. It has given great offence in
diplomatic circles, and his criticism on
the members of the English Embassy
is considered, 1t not impertinent, at
| least extremely distasteful. His state
ments in reference to Mr.. Sumner are
absolutely untrue. The Massachusetts
Senator made no request for the reno
val of the injunction of secrecy, and
there was only one dissentient against
the publication of the speech, namely,
McCreery, of Kentucky. How much
Mr.. Grimes knows of what actually
occurred in the Executive Session, when
the speech was delivered, may be judg-
ed from the fact that he was then much
nearer to his present lodgings than he
was to the Senate Chamber, having sail
ed for Europe about week before. The
expected result here of his attack on
the English Legation will be the writ
ing of q letter to Mr.. Thornton by Earl
Clarendon demanding an explanation.
The British Minister is not little an
noyed at the iusinuations of Senator
Grimes, and both himself and his Sec
retaries are at loss 10 understand 10
what the Senator from Iowa ulludes.
The members of the Em bAssy have won
golden opinions in Washington from
every one who has had any intercourse
with them, and their brethren OF the
Diplomatic Corps consider il extremely
unpleasant TO be subjected to Burveil-
lance as the letter of Mr.. Grimes indi-
Gates they are and have been. They one
and all hold that they are not to be held
accountable for anything except wha:
they do in an official capacity.
IaNkn inn tn in \
Sumner from all quarters eulogisIic of
his speech. The President of one of
the strongest Union leagues writes him
that he considers it ga second declara.
tion ofindependence;" and the richest
American in France thanks him i'll q
recent communication for his able eX-
position of the Alabama case, holding
that there can never be Il satisfactory
settlement of it without proper under
standing of what we consider full and
just reparation. MIR. Summers CORES

ed the case.
