Advertising Aphorisms.

Ifyou have good thing, advertise Il
If you havn't, don't.
Ifyou 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 any.
thing else in this world--if it is worth
doing at all it is worth doing well.
We don't recommend advertising a.
the best way to get wife: But we know
that it 10 the best way to get good trade.
You can't &C.. enough in week to last
q whole year, and you can't advertise on
that plan either.
A large advertisement once. and then
discontinued, creates the impression that
the man has fizzled.
Injudicious advertising is like fishing
where there are no fish. You need to let
the lines fall in the right place.
A constant dripping will wear rock.
Keep dropping yonr advertisements on
the public, and they will soon melt under
| 1t like rock salt.
Large type isn't necessary IN advertis-
ing. Blind folks don't read newspapers.
Ifyou can arouse curiosity by an Cd.
vertisement ii is great point gained.
The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity
in the world.
Don't be afraid TO invest in printers
ink, lest your sands Of life be nearly run
out.
When you advertise see that you do tt
on the same principle that you buy goods.
Get the most you can for the money.
People who advertise only once In
three months forget that most folks can't
remember anything longer than abeut
seven days.--Amsriesn NsWspopsr ~

Where did you come from. baby dearf.

Some Of the starry spikes left in.

What makes your forehead so smooth and high
A soft hand -stroked it as went by.
What makes your cheek like warm white rose
Something better than any one knows.
Whence that three oornorei smile Of bliss'
Three angels at once gave me a kiss.
Where did.you get that pearly ear7

THE APPOINTING POWER.

The New York Herald says the Civil
Service Commissioners hold that the sec
ton of the law under which they were
appointed completely Teyolutionizes The
present system of appointments. They
state that under the Constitution the Prs,
ident is only limited in his appointing
powers 10 the cases mentioned therein.
These are to foreign Ministers, members
of the cabinet, ard to such other officers
as Congress may designate. Heretofore
there has been statute limiting the ap,
pointing power of the President, and
Heads of Departments have been granted
the power to appoint their subordinates.
This construction has been extended so
far that rot only have Ca5iaet Minis
tiers appointed their subordinates, but
Collectors, Assessors, Postmasters
and the Ike have been accredited the
privilege Of nominating those who have
been dependent upon their choice. After
considerable discussion, the Commission
eTs have row almost unanimously con
Guided that under section nine Of the
naval appropriation act, the whole ap-
pointment power has been vested in the
President, and that not even g messenger
can be appointed in the New York Gus
tom House or Postofice, without the
President has first designated the person.
This is q decision, which, if correct, will
load the President with additional powers,
and make him still more formidable in 8
political canvas.

CoRRUPTIONTN CONGRESS-,

1t has often been shown how Radicals
enter Congress poor, and after few
years experience there, become rich.
Gen. George W. Morgan made a speech
at st. olairsville, Ohio, few days age,
in which he said:
''Let me give you sn example. Under
the act of July /, 1852, bonds were is
sued to the Pacific Railroad Companies
at the rate of SIC, coo, S32, 600 and $48,
600 per mile. according to The supposed
difficulty of construction, and wee made
a first lien upon the roads. This looked
like an honest transaction, but it was q
cheat, intended 10 allsy the fears Of the
taxpayers. The lien was sufficient to
secure the Government for the
bonds which hsd been issued to
build the road, of which there are
yet outstanding over S64, 000,0 900. To
the surprise of all honest men who know
of the uaussction, on the q of July,
1864, by some process best known to
those who had charge of il, a Law was
passed releasing the first mortgage on
those roads, and accepting instead, Sc
ond morigage, believed TO be valuelels,
thus making the people pY the bones

with the surplus an immense swindling
machine, called the Credit Mobuier, was
established, and it is said that twenty

whose names are concealed, ale among

action would be supertiuous. Il carries
conviction on its face that bribery did the

THE New York Herald says Vice Pres
ident Colfax will retire whether or no.
His friends cannot drive him into public
life sgain. lie insists upon going back
to the bosom of his family and private
life as soon as his term is out. 'Your
candidate / cannot be, says he, in the
words of HoEatio Seymour, and he might
have added, shut if you drag me cut, of
course must come" The Indianapolis
Sentinel is of the opinion chat when the
time comes Colfax will consent 10 be
dragged out. That paper declares thst
all his protestations in regard 10 continu-
ing in public life are but the assumptions
of virtue and self-denial that he does not
possess, and nobody viii be more dissp>
psinted than he if his party should take
him at his word anu lay him upon the

OUR OATH9,

During the last session of Congress, the
Hon. S. S. Cox, of New York, delivered
d humorous speech on the promiscuous
oath-taking that has been required Of cur
citizens by Federal officials in these late
days. The Congressman argued that this
multiplicity of osths, TO establish loyalty,
TO push claims through, to ascertain in
come, to collect revenue, ETC., etc, vas
in reality defeating its obi sct by reducing
the oath 10 3 mere business formality, and
diveating it of its ssnctity. be ar-
gued that, if half these Oaths
were dispensed with, the remaining
half might prove more efficient
for judicial purposes. Certainly these
appeals to the Deity have been carried to
an extravagant extent under the rule Of
the party of "moTal ideas" We Tecol-
lect one occasion On which q friend was
requested TO swear that set Of Apple
toms Cyclopedia were necessary for his
family supplies for the coming sixty day g.
Whether he had q family or not was
never asked; and by what hocus .pocus a
luxury Of the Library could be denomi-
mated '4amily supplies" he wss not in
formed. He stated his objections, aud
was told it was ga mere FORM" and as a
mere form he filed a business blank with
his narne, without reading it and without
sEearing at It.
Among other radical reforms, cher
ished Icy the European Internaicnals, is
the general abolition Of cath taking in
courts os justice. The argument is,
that any man who would wilfully fa'sify,
in q public trial, will not be restrained by
an oath for which he can have 10 re-
spect. 1t is not proposed to disturb the
penalties for perjury OF false testimony.
There seems, however, to be dash Of
assertive Atheism in the movement The
Li5ero PeRsutore (Free, Thinker of
Florence, OF May II, reports a case in
which au Internationalist named Gue-ri
consented to reCiio the prescribed for
mula, but declined 10 invoke the reli-
pious sanction which ''the convic-
ton of his reason did not permit
hiu to recognize" The Judge insisting
and the witness persisting, GuerTi was
prosecuted for contempt Of court, where
upon he instituted counter proceedings
against the Judge for official oppression,
but was, of course, defeated. On an
other trial in which an editor was charged
with revolutionary utterances, nine out of
twelve witnesses summoned for the de-
fence, refused the oath in IFS theological
formula, proclsiming themselves rational
lists: two others swore, on the assurance
OF the Judge, that it was mere formal
~. and only one of the twelve swore on
the Gospels in the usual way.

THE RADICAL ssUNPE EAsANF-
NESS, IN LOUISIANA.

There is an unpleasantness in the Radi-
cal camp in Louisiana, which the st.
Louis RsOa5lican says grew up in this
wise: 'Gov. Yarmouth left the capital
to recruit his delicate health amid the ga
lublious breezes of Pass Christian, lock
ing the doors of the executive office be-
hind him 10 keep out Lieut.. Gov. Dunn
(negro) who, by law, should exercise the
executive functions in his absence. After
WaImouth's departure Dunn asserted his
right to be Governor, and repaired to the
Executive office, broke open the door,
and transacted come trivial official bust
ness. This was au overt act of war, and
brought to head q scarcely suppressed
quarrel that had long been brewing be-
tween the white Radicals under War
mouth, and the colored Radicals under
Dunn. Shortly after the latter had lodged
himself in the Executive office, War
mouths secretary made a secret raid on
the Office, and carried eff to Pass Chris
tian the appointment book and the un-
signed bills of the last Legislature. Dunn,
in turn, it is said, has made affidavit
charging the secretary, Bragden, with
abstracting public documents from
their proper office; ard thus the
quarrel goes on from one thing 10 another
in a very lively manner. The Governor
is said 30 be too much enfeebled in health
to come back and meet the daring negro
on the ground, and the latter, therefore,
has things pretty much his own way. His
colored friends admire his audacity, and
be is daily strengthening himself in his
position. The Federal officers are forced
20 take sides in the quarrel, and the United
States Marshal, the postmaster and Col
Iec'or Casey are all on the side of the
Lieutenant Governor. This fact would
seem to indicate that Dunn is recognized
as the stricier friend of the President than
Yarmouth.
