Importance OF Advertising. -

Importance OF Advertising. - A New
York wholesale grocer who has become
rich in his business lately, gave one of his
fundamental rules of action. When he
sold bill of goods on credit it was his Gus
tom to Immediately subscribe for the local
paper of his debtor. So long as his GUS
toner advertised literally and vigorously
he rested, but as soon as he began to con-
tract his advertising space he took the fact
as evidence that there was trouble ahead,
and he invariably went for his debt. For
the man" said he, "who feels too poor to
make his business known is too poor to do
business" This withdrawal of an adver-
tisement is an evidence Of weakness that
business men are not slow to observe.

Tribute From Bishop Pierce to
Bishop Andrew, %

Bishop Pierce, on Sunday, May
7th, delivered q funeral sermon on
the late James O. Andrew. in
Nashville. The text WAS lst Phil
ippiaus, lst chapter, Goth to the
Goth verse, inclusive. The trst
portion of the discourse was an
elaborate analysis and estimate OF
the character of Saint Paul. In
his eloquent eulogium upon the III
tellcctual powers and oratorlca'
ability of the deceased Bishop he
says:
GAS a'preachcr he was somewhat
unique lie had no model. He
stood alone. lie WAS original, not
So much by creative power rs by
his peculiar style Of appropriation.
lie never dwclt in propositions;
he had nothing to do with divisions,
firstly, secondly, thirdly and lastly.
He dealt with one great leading
idea, and this idea hemade to revolve
upon its own axle until every spot
OF its surface was bathcd in sun
light. His powers Of ampliiicatlon
were anazing; and on some OF his
f;,vorite themes, when his mind
was full, the opening OF his mouth
was like the letting ont Of many
waters, nor was it a thin sheet tur'l-
ed into spray and descending in
mist, but a laundering volume,
that rushed and roared and swept
on rcsistlessly. Those who heard
him only in the lattcryears of his
life will regard what | am saying
as cxtravagant, but | know whereof
affirm. Making him Il bishop
ruined him as a preacher. Soon
after his election, he conceived the
idea that he mnst be an example
of extreme simplicity, for the bene-
fit Of the younger brethren in the
lest, | suppose, by under,
taking to initiate him, they should
render themselves ridiculous, and
hence he changed his style; he
compelled his mind to work unnat-
uraliy; he cut off the inspiration
that used to bear him up and carry
hi,n along. quite above the level Of
common men.
In his pa!miest days there was al
ways a pccuIiarity in Bishop Anurew'sI
that distinguished HIM from
all others. The first half of his ser
mons was always the best-otten

thought. the sweep Of imagination.
he wealth of words. The latter halt
was commonly co!Ioquial, simple and
commonplace. 1t seemed
TO me that in prayer and meditation
and communion with God he had
l<ccndcd some lofty elevation, some
bright mount of vision; and when hr
entered the pulpit and announced his
text, he launched ont on bold, broad
pinions, like an angel flying through
he midst Of tic heavens; and by and
by he grew weary and commenced t"

The Judge has been recently inter
viewed by Mr Smalley OF the Tribu"e,
who thus writes:
:Jrdge Orr. once Speaker Of thc
National House of Representatives,
member Of the Confederate Senate
during the war, and the Cox ernor OF
his State in the early days Of Recon-
,truct;on, is almost the only onrof thr
great, cld-timc political leaders Of
south Carolina who now belongs to
the Republican PARTY lie is Circuit
Judge OF the five northwestern coun-
ties OF the State; and | believe it is
lac, in great part to his influence
that these counties are entirely free
from the violence and outrayrs tha!
occur in other sections. The Judge
is confident that in no other equa!
population in tho Unitud States have
fewer crimes against persons or pro-
perty been committed during the past
year than in his circuit. In the
County Of Pickcns, in his circuit, not
IL single bill Of indictmc'l has been
sent to the Grand Jury during the
last two terms OF court, period OF
eight months; and not single Grim
i;ral case has been tried. In the Jail
Of Anderson County there is but one
prisoner, and he is waiting trial for 4
trivial olfrnsc. The people here are
anxious that these facts should he
known, and that Northern man who
wish to cmsrato South may under
stand that, III this part Of South Car
oli!ia, they will DC aS sccurc as in any
part Of the North. | have no doubt
that til, would be the case atprcscnt,
and probably alw: Us so in the towns,
but in the back country, in time OF
great political excitement, | believe q
Northern Republican,, who should
freely cypress his sentiments, would
find it unpleasant, if not dangerous,
even in this quiet region.
Jndgc Orr thinks that the disor-
dcrs that are occurring in m ny parts
Of the State arise from various causes,
chiefamoug which may be mentioned
'ihc armiT'S Of negro militia, the in'
crease Of taxation, tie extravaganza
Of the Legislature, the corrupt plac-
ticcs of some public officers and the
! in"ompctency of others, the bitter
| fe cling cherished BY the old politicians
on accoun, of the failure Of Congress
to remove their disabilities, and the
hostility of the white ropuIa'ian to
the negroes on account of th' cS
elusive supremacy OF their former
slaves in the State Government. The
Rebel soldiers are especially irrltatro
at negro rule. During the war the )
