Advertising.

The following brief paragraph
is made up of truth and sound
business sense. Dealers who ad
vertise can afford to sell cheape,
than those who do not. Purcha.
sers ought to remember this fact,
and always examine the adverti-
sing columns of the OBSERVER be-
fore buying
An advertising people are al
ways thrifty. The enterprise and
energy that prompt them to push
forward in the race and keep them
selves and their business before the
world ensure them against failure.
1t would be difficult to point to a
single instance of greatsnccess that
has not been through the valuable
aid of the press. Our most fa-
nous houses in every branch of
business ale those who have ex-I
pended fortunes as advertisers, and
persevered until they fave forced
from the public. The
American people, and especially
the citizens of New York, are
to understand these
truths, and advertising is now as
much a necessity of business life as
the railroads and telegraphs.

Tsn.ple Of The Mnses.
Always care for Others.

If weknew when walking thoughtless,
Through the crowded noisy way,
That some pearl Of wondrous whiteness,
Close beside cur pathway lay;
We would pause when now we hasten,
We would often look around,
Lest our careless feet should trample,
Some rare jewel in the ground.
If we knew when genius struggled,
Through the weary nights and days,
Signing for some word of comfort,
Little word of hope and praise;
Roughs of balm and leaves of laurel,
We would place within their hands,
Little deeds with pleasant meanings,
Hungry hearts can understand.
If we knew when friends around US,
Closely press to say 'fGood bye
Which among the lips that kiss us,
First should meath the daisies lie;
We would throw our arms around them,
Looking on them through our tears,
Tender words of love eternal,
We would whisper in their ears.
If we knew, alas! and do we
Ever care or seek to know,
Whether herbs or bitter roses.
!. In our neighbor's garden grow,
Better far along life's pathway,
Keep this golden rule in view,
'.You should always care for others,
AS you'd have them care for you. /"

A Handsome Runaway

A Strange Fatality.
The following is clipped frot

The following is clipped from
the Covington Tenn. Record
In the year 1862 DR.. Walton, a
citizen of this county, living about
four and half miles from town,
was killed by man named Yarbro.
Shortly afterward, Capt. Smith,
who was one of the Sheriff s posse,
killed Yarbro in attempting to ar
rest him. In 1865, Smith was
killed at Randolph by DR.. Martin,
who had not long before returned
from the Confederate army, hay-
ing lost an arm at Atlanta, we be-
lieve. In the fall of 1866 DR..
Martin was killed by Captain
Irwin, and last summer Irwin was
killed by a man named Burnett,
who acted in self-defense, and was
acquitted before a magistrate, and
no attempt was ever made to bring
The matter before the grand jury.
Irwin's father and brother, who re-
sided in Middle Tennessee, near
Pulaski, we understand, swore
vengeance against Burnett, and, al.
though it was known to all that
he acted purely in self-defense, de-
4ermined upon his death. Bur-
nett, too, seemed TO have a super
stitious dread of being killed, as
Fue was familiar with the strange
fatality which seemed to direct the
several homicides, and soon after
Killing Irwin, lett the State, tell
ing every one that he was going
40 his wife at Marietta, Ga, but
instead went FIRST to Mississippi
where he was followed by the faith
er and brother of Capt. Irwin; he
left Mississippi and went to or near
Osceola, Arkansas, to live, but
here, too, the avengers of Irwin
came, and a few days ago the ia
ther and brother killed Burnett.

An Astonished Cashier.

On Monday afternoon gentle

our city banks for $500, and went
to the bank for the purpose of get

the check, examined it and pro-
nounced it 90. K" and paid over
to the presenter $4,000. Suppo-
sing the amount called for to be
$500, the receiver of the money
was, as may be imagined, not a
little surprised, and thinking, per-
haps, that in a sudden spasm of
generosity, the man that had CIV

of personal regard. Taking the
money, he went Immediately to
him, and with a triumphant four
ish, showed him his goodly pile of
greenbacks. The giver of the
check was utterly dumbfounded,
realizing that a regular habit of
adding cyphers to checks, in fits
of abstraction, would soon "play
him out" financially. Returning
to the bank, the man paid back to
the astonished cashier, whose op-
tics protruded like saucers, So, 700.

Vol. XV---NO. 80.
Clayton's Militia:

Il For several weeks, gangs of
! white and black criminals and des-
!peradoes have been roaming
through Arkansas, and have COM
mitted murders, arsons, rapes,
: thefts and almost every crime
known to the law. They are
called militia. They are ordered
to travel through the State and en-
gage in such business as the above
by one Clayton, a man who styles
himself Governor, and acts as such
by virtue of an event dubbed an
election held under the reconstruc-
ton infamy. This man Clayton is
carpet-bagger, and went down to
Arkansas to "engage in the inte-
rests of God and humanity" In
this he was assisted by United
States Senator Rice, from that
State, a man who is alleged to
have taken money belonging to an
other man, spent it at the gaming
table, and then fled from Justice.
Clayton, and Rice, and the militia,
are running" the State of Arkan-
sas, subject to orders from General
Grant.
Grant had heard that the mill
tia was industriously pursuing
such little pastimes as we have
named above, and he sent a man
named Horace Porter, who signs
A. ID. c., at the end of his name,
to Arkansas, to inquire into the
nature of the gambcls of the mill
tia. Just before Porter got to tie
scene of action, the militia had
''just for the fun of the thing"
taken five men out into the woods
and shot them to death.
Horace Porter, A. D. c., has
made a report concerning the mi
litia. From this report it appears:
lst-The gangs are acting un-
der the authority of the Governor.
2nd-In seven counties of the
State, martial law is declared.
Srd--The gangs are ordered @fo
i've off the country"
4th-Iu the eastern counties.
The force is composed entirely of
negroes.
5th-The Governor "could sell
1om secure good men for officers"
6th-The gangs are ordered to-.
Try by military courts, in cases
hey may deem it necessary.
There is not statement made
above with regard to the character
IF the militia which does not an.

Kicked by a Mule.

Ihere was nothing remarkable II

"How are you, jim? Fine

''Bet on! Guess lie will that, I

"Jim, there's no use; don't bet.

"Don't you be alarmed, Squire,

"Well, If you are determined to
bet, / will risk you a small stake

and /. You try it"
"No," says johnson, Il have to
stand at the mules head to order
him"
ooh, yaas," says Jim, "then
probably I'm the man. Wa'al, |
I'll do it, but you to bet ten to my
five, if | risk it."
"All right" says Jake, "now |
here's fly on your shoulder, stand
still" and johnson adjusted his
mule. "Whist, Jarvey," said he.
The mule raised his heels with
such velocity and force that Mr.. |
Boggs rose into the air like bird, |
few through a briar hedge, and
alighted on all fours in muddy |
ditch. I
Rising in a towering rage, he
exclaimed, "Yaas, that is h--ll!

ror fifty dollars. You can just
'ork over them stakes for it, any

"Not so fast Jim, the mule done
just what said he could that is,

ng him. You see the mule is not
lurt by the operation. However,
( you are not satisfied, we will

Starved Out.

Wendell Phillips has been of
the opinion that the status of the
negro in this country viii not be
properly established until we have
a black Vice. President and aplen-
tiful sprinkling of Ethiopians in
Congress. The eloquent and pol
ished Sumner has been, and prob
ably is, of the same mind.
Those gentlemen had an ex-
celient opportunity to work for the
practical application of their the
ories by taking hold of the case
of Menard. He was q stranger
and without money in Washing
ton. Sumner and the men Gen
gagged in the interests of God and
humanity" in Congress did not
call on him. They did not lend
him money, without which he
could not prosecute his claim to a
seat. "
It may be said he was not en-
titled to a seat. How could this
be ascertained when he was not
granted a hearing? He was star
we'd out: He was driven away
by neglect and contemptuous
treatment. The Radicals in Con-
gress are determined that they
will not have a ''nigger" among
them. They care nothing about
right or law when a seat is con-
tested,
