BARxUM To BUSINESS MEN.-The great Snowman
knows the value of advertising from experience.
Lately. in a lecture at Bulls Opera House. Middle
town, \. Y, he said " In order to do business
successfully you must advertise. That will get you
patrons. Then satisfy your customers. and they
all become walking advertisements for you. 1t
will not do to stick out a little sign. and then take
it in again. A man who had not succeeded IN an
enterprise, said to him. " Why. l did | did adVer-
tisei L put an advertisement in taoice and 1t cost me
three dollars, but it did not seem to make any dit
ferenceI ~ MY friend.'' said Barnum. people
don't read an advertisement the first time. Hammer
away on that nail until you have clinched it," III
man advertises fifteen times and has not the fore
sight or courage to do it the sixteenth. it will do
him little if any good. Keep doing it, y half dose
of medicine only makes you qualmish. and does
YOU no good. Take a whole dose. Advertise and
sell your goods, or the Sheriff will advertise and do
it for You.

dress. and her basket of oranges and apples on
her arm, walking up the aisle in the midst of the
services, looking into his face, and going out,
paying no attention to the audience or the exer-
cises. 1t was, says a contemporary, such a gem OF
independence and characterization, that it seemed

A PICTURE FROM PARIs.-G ahgnani, of March

ceased to sit at the Palais de Justice and, as may
be imagined, affairs of all kinds suffer from such

1860 I" In every prosecution, and in every civil
action for writing or for publishing a libel, the
defendant may, upon the trial, give in evidence

Justice Bigelow, in the case of Joseph Smith VS..
The Boston Journal, where the jury assessed the
damages at one cent, shields newspapers from the
attempts of pettifoggers to prevent their proprie-
tors from publishing honest and truthful reports

Fiske against the Springfield Republican ever
comes to trial before a Massachusetts, Court. the
of the Commonwealth should make
cause with the Republican, and ascertain
