Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have a good thing, advertise it. If you
havn't, don't.
If you don't mean to mind your own business,
it will not pay to advertise.
Never run down your opponents goods in
public. Let him do his own advertising.
It's as true Of advertising as of anything else
in this world-If it is worth doing at all, it is
worth doing we'll.
You can't eat enough in one week to last a
whole year, and you can't advertise on that plan
either.
A large advertisement once, and then discon.
tinued, creates the impression that the maa has
fzzled.
Injudicious advertising is like fishing where
there's no fish. You need to let the lines fall in
the right place.
If you can arouse curiosity by advertisement,
it is great point gained The fair sex don't
hold all the curiosity in the world.
People who advertise only once in three
months forget that most folks can't remember
anything longer than about seven days.-Amer.

The second great cause Of decline 10 the gross
inrompetency OF the administration. When re-
form is proposed Grant meets it with sneer.
Boutwell, does not believe that there is any such
thing as q science of political economy. Sher.
man, chairman OF the senate committee, can see
no difference between tarif for revenue and
tariff for protection. Such il the ignorance OF
the radical leaders. 1t has been we'll said that
"the exigencies of the war have brought up to
the surface, to the control Of public affars, a
class OF men who were the beetles and the wedges
which broke down, crushed, and destroyed the
system Of slavery and. as beetles and wedges,
they did their work well, and are entitled to the
gratitude and thanks of their country. But,
new the war is ended, and the issue of slavery
has gone past. these same instrumentalties are
no more fitted TO do the work which is now re.
qaired of the Legislators Of the country in the
reconstruction of our finances than would be
crowbars for the ad justment of watches or axes
tor the mending of pens"
The amount taken from the people by the va.
rious measures of tai alton last year exceeded four
hundred and ten millions. being in excess of
anything raised by any Of the governments,
which Americans used to call despotic. Ths
amount is unnecessarily large aud greatly in ex.
cess OF the legitimate wants Of the treasury. But
ii retrenohment is proposed it meets with quick
opposition from the administration. It seems
wise 70 Grant to increase the taxes Of the people
by purchase Of an island in the torrid zone,
which is Inhabited by Il few barbirous negroes
He, with the same sbsurdity, believes the great
benefits of that island, prolific only in tornadoes,
and entirely destitute Of harbors, as some of the
old Spanish adventurers expected to find foun-
tain which By irs pure water would renew their
youth. Fidelity % him neans favor Of the San
Domingo job.
But excessive tariff, incom potency of the whole
administration, and the grossly extravagant tax.
alton are fast bringing the people to view Grant
with that disfay0r which is his due Ten years
OF nisgoYerHment, characterized by the most vii.
famous pcrversion Of law is fastening the radical
party to certain destruction. 1t can agree on no
future policy and the past is its condemnation.

company. They commence by depressing the
stock as much as possible. To do this they

it. While they are publicly selling lots of one
or two hundred shares, their agents or tools are
buying all they can get hold Of As soon as
they can buy all the cash stock they find in this
way, they turn suddenly around and begin to
buy on time. Parties not in the secret of course,
are willing to sell on thirty, sixty or ninety
days-even though they do not possess the stock
thinking that before the expiration of that
time they would be able to bay it at less price
than they sell it at In this way thousand. of
shares are sold, TO be delivered at future day,

stock that has ever been issued. When the time
arrives for delivery the seller. discover that
there no stock to be had but of the men TO

pay whatever the owners choose to demand. If
the game is well played the cornerers will make

Should every one of the party prove true to his
comrades, they will soon manage to get rid of
the whole stock to outsiders at high price. 1t

THE RAvAGEs OF THE POTATO BUG.-The
farmers Of the Western states are becoming seri.
ously alarmed in regard to the ravages of the
potato bug. aud not without good reason, from
all accounts Col. Friedrich Hecker, scientific
farmer of Bellevile, Illinois, who has been in.
vestigating the matter, says the bug is native
OF the eanons OF the Rocky Mountains, where it
feeds on the wild potato. 1t left its original
haunts in 1864, and is travelling eastward at the
rate of about one hundred and fifty miles year.
1t mas already reached the Allegheny Mountains,
and the line of its march being over Iowa, North.
ern Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, and
wherever the potato is found in abundance this
destructive insect is likely to mako its way in
time, though it does not thrive in a southern
climate. 1t also feeds upon the tomato, egg
plant, and Others belonging to the same family.
There are three successive generations in each
season. The first of these continues about
twelve days, and if promptly and generally de-.
stroyed, the crop may be saved. Soon after its
frat emergenee from the ground it begins to de.
posit its orang.colored eggs on the under side
of the potato leaf from twenty to forty in cu-.
ter If these are not promptly destroyed in all
the potato fields IN the neighborhocd where they
appear, the crop is almost certain to be ruined
When it is considered tina. in 1869 the five states
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Wiscon.
sin produced 34,150,0O0 bushels of potatoes, val.
ued at $l5,O0o,00O, some idea may be formed of
the serious nature of this destructive visitation.

How TO CooK.-In almost every farm house
and kitchen is to be seen the big earthen pot, in
which bits of mutton, pork, bsef, every vegeta.
bic almost that can be named, together with a
liberal amount of barley, are thrown. This fur.
nishes the nourishng and savory broth for
which the Scotch are famous. With less car.
nivorous French it is more simple affair. A
Partisan dame described it as follows: ANY
quantity of beef from one to five pounds must
be put into an earthen jar or pan having close.
fitting lid, with little salt, and water in the
proportion of a quart for each pound Boil it so
as to skim the grease off, and then add carrots,
parsnip, lesks in abundance, turnips, celery
four ground cloves, and let it simmer on the top
of the oven for from to 10 hours. Only sim.
mer-for boullon boiled Is bouilon spoiled.
The meat and vegetables may be served on enc
dish, and the soup in another, with bread The
beef when cold next day can be eaten with shalot
or tarragon vinegar.

The Height of Meteors.

A table of remarkable interest, showing
the heights of sixteen shooting stars doubly
observed in England during the meteoric
shower of August, 1870, independently OF
the careful observations recorded at the
Greenwich Observatory, appears in the
last volume of reports Of the British Assoc
citation of Science. A comparison of the
observations made at Greenwich on that
occasion, with those recorded in other sta
tons, enables the paths of thirteen meteors,
ten of which are new to the former list, to
to be determined; and the heights and
yelocities of the meteors thus identified
and which must certainly be regarded as
one of the most interesting achievements o.
astronomical science-arc presented in this
report.
The results of these observations show
that the average height of sixteen meteors
referred to in the last report, was 70 miles

How New JERSEY Cor OUT OF THE
UNITED S,rATEs.-The origin of the al
lusions to New Jersey as foreign country
IS said to be as follows After the down
fall of the first Napoleon, his brother
Joseph, who had been King of Spain, and
his nephew, Joseph Murot, son of the
King of Italy, sought refuge in this coun-
try, and brought much wealth with them.
Joseph Bonaparte wished to build a pala-
tial residence here, but did not desire to be-
come citizen, as he hoped to return to
Europe. TO enable him as an alien to hold
real estate required special act OF the Leg
islature. He tried to get one passed for his
benefit in several States, but failed. He
was much chagrined, especially because
Pennsylvania refused. After this he APP
piled to the New Jersey Legislature, which
body granted both him and Murat the
privilege of purchasing land. They bought
a tract at Bordentown, and built magnifi-
cent dwellings, and fitted them up in the
most costly manner. Rare paintings, sta
tuary, &C., were profuse, and selected
with care, and the grounds laid
out with exquisite taste. Joseph
Bonaparte's residence was, perhaps, the
finest in America. Thousands Of people
visited it from all parts of the country, and
were treated courteously. He was profuse
with his money, and gave great impetus
to business in the little town. The Phila.
deIphians, finding that he had apparently
no end of money, and that he used it tc
benefit business generally, regretted, wher
it was too late, that they had refused to le
him locate among themselves ; and, t.
keep up their modification, would always
taunt Jerseymen with having king-wtl
importing the King Of Spain to rule owe
them-they were called Spaniards and for
eigners on this account. But these taunt
harmed no one, as the Jerseymen lost no
thing by their alluring him to settle amonl
them, and the term foreigner" jokingl..
applied to Jerseymen, has come down
us long after its origin has been forgotten
except by a few men of the past generation
Many years ago-during the reign of LOU
Philippe, we believe--both Bonaparte an
Murat found they could safely return
Europe, so they sold out and returned
