Advertising.

The secret of advertising is not
yet discovered by all who advertise,
A good deal of money and space is
wasted in clumsy announcements,
which no body reads, heavy stand.
ing placards, which no more stilnu.
late purchasers than the names on
signs. Much money is also wasted
in circulars which are thrown into
entries and down cellar ways, and
always received with contempt, OF
in so-called adverting 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 is
carried to an extent of which we
have no idea The newspaper is the
real exchange. Every body goes
to it with all their wants, and al
most all his woes. The consequence
is that the sheets are as live as
neighborhood gossip, and often the
pages devoted to advertising are
the best parts of the paper. And
the papers are read through. The
announcements are always short,
always " TRANSIENT" 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 a
rare piece ofchina or a choice engrav-
ing to sell, orhe would like to get an
old number Of some serial, which you
would happen to have; somebody,
somewhere, announced, something
that interests you, and so life is made
more endurable, trade is quickened,
and wants are supplied. We look
to see a more general use of the ad-
vertising columns of newspapers i'll
this country, for all the wants and
queries Of life.-[Hartford Courant.

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

oymptoLiS VI DiScaseu LlVel'
DAM in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss Of memory, ac- ]
companied with painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several Of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged.

SHOWS That for Hight"

Brick Pomeroy, in his Democrat,
thus explains the paternity of the
above popular interrogation. In an.
swer to a correspondent, Pomeroy
says:
Henry Ward Beecher is the au.
thor of the sentence, which has be.
come so popular. At the time of the
Cleveland Convention, in 1864, when
John Cochran was by certain disaf:
fected Republicans nominated fol-
the Presidency, Henry Ward Beech,
er, the author of the phrase, ''It's
most d--d hot" was at the Spaul.
ding House, Binghampton, N. Y.
While there waiting for the train to
bear him West, he became acquaint.
ed with few gentlemen, among
them a conductor of the Erie rail,
road, named c. o. Graves, who was
a strong Republican, great admi-
rer Of Beecher, and member of the
same church.
To while away the time before the
train which was to bear him west
ward should arrive, it was deemed
best to seek little quiet amusement
in a private parlor, by indulging in
the popular game of ''seven up" or
cold sledge."
To this game Mr.. Beecher made
no objections, stating that he played
all such games as checkers, back
CANNON, chess, euchre, whist, ETC.,
etc., at home with his family, and
that he considered it no harm to
seek such amusement when travel
ing, or even to carry with him a
pack of cards or a box Of chessmen,
as he generally did.
Graves and Beeeher were part
ners, the party playing for the lemon
ade. On a four-handed game Graves
and Beecher were stuck, and "saw-
ed" to see who should pay for the
lemonade. They played a single
game to decide the matter. At last
it stood, Beecher six, and Graves
five, with his deal. B y accident or
design Graves TUNED the jack of
hearts, which put him six. 1t was
then a question who had the highest
card to go out. Beecher looked at
his hand, found nothing in there of
note, and he laid down the deuce on
the table with the remark:
II give you your jack; that puts
lis six apiece. Here is the deuce !;
how's that for high p
The remark was so original, and
the joke so good, that everybody
laughed, and Graves ordered in the
beverages. The story was told first
to one conductor and then to an
other along the road, and at last ran
over the country, till now nearly
every one uses that as slang phrase
which has become as popular as
"You bet," 'Red hot" or "Shoo fly

A Needless Alarm.

Thomas Barlow writes to the AL
bany Argus that the cabbage worm
is not poisnous, but, revolving as is
the thought, is safe for food for the
table. There are but few, if any in
sects, either in the larval or perfect
state, but what may be eaten with
perfect safety. Some, however, have
oils in them which forbid their be.
ing eaten in quantities at time.
because of what is called their rich.
ness. All may be safely eaten in
limited quantities. The so-called cen
tipedes or thousand-legged worms,
are eaten by some of the human
race, and they may be by all, so far
as anything poisnOus is concerned
What is called the great white grub,
the young of the May beetle, which,
in great numbers, are often ploughed
up in our fields and gardens, is a
favorite dish with some of the most
enlightened people. The Mohame-
tan loathes the oyster as we do the
scorpion or spider, and says Of the
Christian, he is a dirty dog, because
he eats oysters" It is our prejudice,
ignorance and education that makes
us view these things which loath-
ing fear. | have myself seen a
school-teacher, i'll my boyhood, eat
of the rattlesnake. The silk worms
are extensively eaten In some coun-
tries, and snails are as much thought
of by some persons as oysters are by
us. Andso with spiders, so generally
feared. They are reckoned equal to
any dish that can be made up by
some people. If insects were pois-
nous we should destroy ourselves
"daily,' so to speak, for we are con-
stantly taking them into our sys-
TENS in what we eat this is, living
matter in form of the infusoria, the
insect lave or some other shape,
kind or form. Let attention be Civ
en- to the condition Of the vegetable
itself, therefore, rather than to the
worm, for a person had better eat a
pound of any kind of worms than
an ounce ofdecaying, diseased vege.
table matter.

PROPHETIC FoWL.-When the

curiosities to indicate the destruc.
ton of the world made ready their
ascension robes and prepared to 60

been killed at Stonington, Ct, and
inside this bird of deposit were found
thirteen pieces of gold. A Roman
augur would have predicted from
this curious omen the impending re-

ion it is the most encouraging sign
of that desideratum which has late

Cure for the Blues.--A bachelor
in New York city had the blues, and
applied to a doctor for some medi-

case, and wrote a prescription in
Latin, which the bachelor took to a

scription read, Seventeen yards of
silk, with woman in it, Having
paid for his prescription, the fellow
thought he must obey, and proposed
to a lady that evening, and was mar
