OUR readers will please notice
that our advertising columns TO-
day bear some evidence of the en-
terprise and ~liberality of ST. Louis
merchants.
The advertisement of Samuel
Cupples, ESQ., is appropriately no.
ticed elsewhere.
That of Messrs, Finney q Clarke
j. Lee Finney, late of the st.
Louis and V%icksburg Packet Com
pany, and Ben. w. Clarke, late
Treasurer Memphis and ST. Louis
Packet--scarcely requires commen-
dation, because the gentlemen are
already well aud fOvorably known
to this business community. AS
commission merchants and factors
they stand the equal of any house
in st. Leuis. All business entrusl-
ed to them, either purchasing or
selling, will be done in the prompt
est and best manner.
5 Mccartney & Co., at Ais and
All North Second street, st. Louis,
are the propriclors Of the celebrated
brand Of Double Anchor whisky SO
lavorably known to the trade.
Their house has one OF the finest
and completcst stock of wines and
liquors in that city, They are rec.
filters and wholesale dealers aud
importers, aud for business integ-
ri'y, reliability and promptncss, are
receiving, rs they deserve, an inn
mcusc patronage, not only from
This section, but from that great cx-
tent OF country which seeks ST.
Louis rs umtrECt ct supply.
Ms'srs, Muldoon n Sharp, at 9OI
Broadway, we found to be doing
an excellent trade in provisions and
produce. They are always well
prepared to MI orders in their line,
promptly, aud with satisfaction to
all parties.
There are many others Of the
merchants Of the great Mound City
whose advertisements we hope will
soon appear in our columns. They
are doing a large trade with this
city and this section, aud seem TO
appreciate il greatly.
Until Nicksburg can become her.
self a grand entire pot, like 81.
Louis, we wish the latter prosper
ity, and that the commercial rela.
lions Of that city II this shall re-.
dound to the advantage Of both.

Dear Sirs-I place my humble
tribute to q good and great man at
your disposal. We all feel at this
moment what Paley calls "!he SYM
pathetic emotion of virtue" While
this accounts for your kind recep-
ton of my discourse IL also inspires
in me q hope that its publication
may tend to excite that sympathetic
emulation of virtue, on which to
so great IA degree all our future,

Of the facts above stated. We deem
it only right to observe, however,
that he was extremely difident in
the matter, and that he wonld pre-
fer to have the statements made I'M
accompanied with his name. AS
however, it is we'll known that he
Is the only manufacturer in St.
Louis Of most of the goods men,
toned he would be nearly as much
identified with. this article if his
name were omitted as by men,

we take the liberty of naming
him is that the facts may go forth to
distant places under such a certain
guarantee for their correctness ; as
many of the statements appear so
marvellous that they cannot be too
we'll suDstantiated. With materi-
ais before us for a much more elab-
crate article, we have deemed II
sufficient to give the above epitO-
mixed account of not only the fine
business of Mr., Cupples, but of the
effect which it is calculated TO pro-
duce on our Western trade in a
most important branch of industry.
1t is scarcely possible to Overesti-
mate the benificent results to our
commerce which such enterprises
are calculated to effect.

Is about sixty thousand dozen per
annum. OF these probably one bali
are sold by Mr.. CuPples. Alto
gether there are five broom factO-
ries In 81. Louis, and 81 The hFooms
are sold in tho West and South.
BUCKETS, TUBS AND cHUREs.
Mr.. Cupples may DO said to be
the pioneer In the manufacture OF
woOdenware In the West. But
when he showed the feasibility Of
the process others followed bis ex-
ample. Hence factories were found
ed for the manufacture Of buckets,
tubs, churns, &C. OF these articles
there are not fewer than $4,000
pieces per day manufactured in
ST. Louis some are made, but fully
ne.half are sold, by Mr.. Cupples.
Our metropolis is now the recog-
nized depot for these things in the
West and South.
MANILA AND OTHER CORDAGE.
OF Manila rope alone, he will au-
nually manufacture over 100000
worth, and S250,O00 worth of cord
age, to meet the demand of the
lumbermen Of the west for long
lines without splice or lace. He has
built the longest rOpe-walk in the
United States Except the one In the
United States navy yard at Char
leston), where he can make q line
fifteen hundred feet long without
splice or lace. He employs over
one hundred men in the manufac.
ture of
WILLOW BASKETS.
The willow for making these used
formerly TO be imported from
France. Now it is grown here.
ST. LOUIS AND OTHER CITIES.
II is a reflection and a fact which
speaks trumpet-tOngued for the
growing commercial importance
and advancement of our city, that
Mr.. Cupples' sales alone will this
year in wOodenware be more than
those of either Chicago or Cincin'
natl, and more than any two houses
in the East.

NOTHING LIKE 1T.-Hardly Il day
passes but establishes the truth OF the
proposition that if you wish to buy, or
to sell, if you have lost anything or
found anything, wish to get employment,
or wish to employ some one, wish to rent
or hire a house, you must advertise.
Take old Stingy there. Ask him to adj
vertise his business. He'll tell You " it
don't pay; nobody reads the advertise
ments; it's throwing money away.
Let him lose his pocket-book, and the
first place he goes is to the newspaper
office TO advertise it, He knows people
read the advertisements, and he gives
all his previous sayings the lie 10y his
present action. Reader, never 90 near
a merchants store who don't advertise.
Bear in mind such q man is stingy; he
will squeeze the last cent out of your
pocket, and sell every article higher
than the one who advertises and lets the
world know whether he is keeping pace
with the times. Never go to a man
who does not invite YOU

The PICNIC To-MoRRow. BY the ad-
vertisement in another column may be
seen portion of the programme pre-
pared by our friends Of the Wheeling
Dramatic Corps for the amusement OF
those who attend their picnic at the
Fair Grounds tomorrow. We have
been shown the silver cup to be con
tested for in the races and have rarely
seen a more elegant one 1t is OF
unique pattern, richly chased and valu-
able. The intention is to make this
picnic one long to be remembered and
we know that those who have the mat
ter in hand are capable of performing
all they promise. They invite every
body and his wife and children to be
present and enjoy the sports of the day.

posed sale OF the Lawrence Iron Works
at Newcastle, Pa. If not sold previously
at private sale, they will be disposed Of
at public auction on next Friday, Sep
TENDER 9. The property is very valu.
able, and will doubtless be splendid

some Of our enterprising iron manufac,
turers will avail themselves OF the rare
chance afforded by the offer of these
works for sale. A full description OF
the property may be found in our ad-
vertising columns.

DISSIPATION AND LATE Hours
After the fcstal night comes the miscra-
bic next morning, with its headache,
its qualms, its gloomy reflections.
Business must he attended to; but
neither mind nor body is fit for Buis-
ness. What is to be done? How are
the energies of the system to he worked
up, and its reserves Of vitality brought
out? How is the clouded brain to be
cleared 2-the languid and relaxed
frame braced mp for action? Under
such circumstances, a single wine-glass-
fnl of PLANTATION BITTERS will bring
about an immediate and beneficial
change, and healthful glow will be
diffused through the whole organiza-
ton by the tonic operation Of this
wholesome cordial.

The LAWN PARTY.-Thcre never was
given more enjoyable picnic than the
lawn party given yesterday and last eve,
ming for the benefit of the Island Pro-
testant Episcopal Chapel, in Zane's
Orchard. The grounds were brilliant
with locomotive headlights, and the
trees bright with many colored lanterns,
and the whole scene made beautiful by
the bright and varied toilets Of beauti-
full ladies. The attendance was very
large, and the tables groaned with the
weight Of the good things the provident
members of the congregation had pre-
pared. We are glad to learn that the
affair proved so complete success. For
personal favors and attentions, the ladies
Of the congregation have our thanks.

Kathairon and Magnolia Balm are just
what will give them to you and moth

4 SERIOUS DIFFIcuLTY.-At this sea,
son of the year, housekeepers and
bakers experience great difficulty in

made of old wheatis dry, easily worked
and makes better and more wholesome
bread. If they want entire satisfaction
in this respect, they should use the
