The CoHGREssIoNAL ExCuRsIoN.--So much
has been written concerning the interesting ex-
cursion given by our citizens to the President
and Cabinet and members Of Congress ON Sat
urday that IL would be difficult to add anything 2
OF Interest to the details already given.
In general way, however, we may say that
nothing could have been hit upon better adapted
to bring together the officers of the government
and the citizens of the District in that pleasant
of-hand social intercourse calculated TO make
them acquainted with each others good qualities
1t is the sort of intercourse that should slWays
exist between the national guardians of the Dis
trict and its citizens and 1t is amazing that for
SO many years the opportunity to establish such
relations has been lost, and that sort of cold
ness and mutual reserve has grown up.
1t Is not strange that members of Congress.
coming here strangers. and finding nothing So
ciahy attractive to make their stay pleasant
should acquire from the start, An unfsvoraSl
idea Of the city and its people. On the 9th sr
hand there has been too much fastidiousness on
our side in making advances lest our motives
should be misunderstood. The ice has, however
been pretty thoroughly broken by the social =
tercourse OF this season, supplemented so agree
ably by the excursion Of SATURDAY.
For one thing this excursion had q happy ef-
feet In serving to exhibit some of the fine sur
roundings Of the city to the guests, and also to
give them an idea of our noble river andthe fine
country adjacent. Otherwise the trip, BY its
healthful invigorating character, brings the
members back in proper condition for work after
their dull, hard drill in the close unwhelesome
atmosphere Of Congress halls The citizens
who undertook and carried out this excursion.
have done thoughtful, proper, public-sp spirited
act, and amply deserve all the complimentary
things said of them.

The above paragraph is taken almost
bodily from the Plymouth Democrat, oil
last week. Our neighbors ought to look
little at the official figures, before they
set down their. pens So smarily. Our ex.

for 1869. was just SI,GI+I6, and not

ADvERTis;NG.--Ther arc a few rules
which always hold good in advertising.
One of them Is this, always advertise
when business is duh. 1t does not follow
from this that you should never do so
when il is good. 1t does well to advertise
at all times, but imperative when trade is
stagnant. In dull times those get the
trade who advertise the widest and best,
and those who do not, sit ON their counter
and grumble and lose money.
The man who regards judicious adver-
Using as an expense and not as profit,
has not yet learned to understand the first
and most important principles of trade.
A business man can no more hope TO
succeed in this age without advertising
than he can without eating. The latter
is food for the stomach-thc former to
your purse.

ToMAToEs-Onr friend Mr. Andrews

know this for he said SO, and we weighed
it ourselves on a pair of old sieelyaids.

full of luscious pulp within. A certain
sort of sentimental people once called
this fruit the love-applc-they must have
been "far gone," the sands of their life
were well nigh run, the silver cord was
considerably loosencd. Another class,
called among the learned, " Boianists y
