THE SECRET OF ADVERTISING is not vet dis
covered by all who advertise. A good deal of
money and space Is wasted in clumsy announce
ments, which nobody reads, heavy standing
placards, which no more stimulate purchasers
than the names on signs. Much money IL also
wasted in circulars, which are thrown into
entries and down cellarways, and always
received with contempt, or in s0-called adyerti-
sing sheets, which nobody reads. There Is no
medium that comes into such close contact with
the people as the newspaper; and If advertisers
only understood their business they could make
their part Of the paper as interesting as any
other part Of 1t. In many OF the German papers
advertising II carried to an extent Of which we
have no idea. The newspapers Is the real ex-
change. Everybody Goes TO it with all his
wants, and almost all his woes. The conse-
quence is that the sheets are a. lively q neigh
borhood gossip, and often the pages devoted to
advertising are the best parts Of the paper. And
the papers are read through. The announce
ments are always short, always transient" J" and
one looks at them In the morning TO see what the
world has to offer him that day, by way Of
business or Amusement Perhaps his next door
neighbor has . rare piece Of china or choice
engraving 10 sell, or he would Ike to get an odd
number OF some serial, which you would happen
to have; somebody, somewhere, announces
something that interests you, andso Life 70 made
more endurable, trade u quickened, and wants
are supplied. We look to see moro general use
Of the advertising columns Of newspapers In
this country; for all the wants and queries of

IHE RICHARDSON TRAGEDY.-The trial of
Daniel McEaIlend will naA.>----~--.A..a-y I'm
an Indictment charging him with the murder of
ALBERT ID. Richardson, on the 25th of Novem-
Der last. over 800 petit jurors have been sum-
mOned 10 attend the court for the purpose of
selecting the twelve men who are TO decide on
the guilt or the innocence of the accused. The
prosecution will be solely conducted by District
Attorney Garvin. 1t is expected that he will
simply conhne himself to the facts connected
with the homicide, and to the threatening Ian
euage which Mcfarland is alleged to have used
toward Richardson in conversation with other
parties. 1t is also believed that he will en-
deavor to introduce evidence concerning the
first attempt at taking Mr.. Richarss sson's Life in
Amity street.
Mrs. Richardson (formerly Mrs. McFarlandD
will be called as a witness. At present she is
living at WOOdside, New Jersey, in company
with the deceased journalists children. Iery
Little can be ascertained about the line Of the
defense, Messrs Jno. Graham, Chas. s. Spencer
and Elbridge L. Gerry, the counsel for the pris-
oner, having pledged themselves to strict Sc
crecy in the matter. 1t Is thought that thew
will make the question Of sanity, or frenzy on
the part Of the prisoner at the time he commit
ted the homicidal act for which he is indicted,
one OF the strong points In the case; and il Is
also said that they will claim that the deed was
justifable, on the ground that an adulterous in
tmacy existed between Mr.. Richardson and
McFarland's wife. Hon. Horace Greeley, Vice
President C0lfax, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
and Rev. Mr.. rockingham are reported to have
received netice from the defense to be present
as witnesses at the trial.-N. Y. Tunes.

THE BIBLH-Necessityfo for Rerision.-It may
be affirmed with the greatest confidence that
many doctrines now commonly held among
Christians generally would never have been
believed with the same unfinching confidence
If there had not been found in the Holy Bible,
as ordinarily read, texts which are now known
to be either spurious or to be gross misrepre-
sentations Of the original. The famous in
terpolation in i John '. Z, is a case in point
No falsifcation of documentary record Is es-
tablished by more overwhelming evidence.
Yet the fraudulent scribe who first adduced
the testimony of the Three Heavenly Wit
nesses knew perfectly well what he wanted
to prove, and that the words he Inserted
would 60 far to prove il; and It Is quite i'm
possible that in uncritical ages a text 20 dis
tinctly and emphatically in point should not
have had the strongest influence in forming
and confirming the general belief. So also no
reasonable person will deny that the solemn
words nom the 18th chapter Of Job which are
read IN the English Burial Service, "I know
that my Redeemer hveth, and that he shall stand
ct the latter day upon the earth; and though af-
ter my skin worms destroy this body, vet " my
nesh shall zee God, % have had much to DO with
the hrm faith Of Christians In the actual resur-
rectien Of the individual body. Yet the best
critics hold this passage to be one Of the worst
mistranslations in the whole Bible, and that the
words, strongly as they affect us, are mere
nAvesty Of the meaning OF the original--Pau
Aau G0eette.
