The Art OF Advertising.

Newspaper advertising agencies have
become invaluable adjuncts both to the
enterprislng business men and the
shrewd!y conducted newspapers of the
country-that is, where these agencies
are controlled and managed by prompt
and reliable men. Very many bust
ness men would advertise if they were
relieved Of the perplexity of how to do
it most economically and with most sat
isfactory results. TO all such the we'll
conducted advertising agency is an in
stitution to be desired and patronized
for through them they can have the spe-
cialties they have to sell to the public at
tractively presented, and at cost, too,
far below what they can themselves get
it done for, owing to the agents dealing
directly with an unlimited number of
publishers. The well-informed agent
prepares the advertisement, ifdesired to
do so, in the most attractive form, and
by his well-digested system OF dealing
with the thousands Of newspapers in the
country, knows exactly where to place it
to get quick returns for the advertisers.
In fact, the art OF advertising, being
difficult to acquire, is known only to few,
and their knowledge of it was acquired
through years of study and experience.
Thus, it is OF incalculable benefit to have
in city wellappointed and thorough
ly reliable advertising agency, of whose
services enterprsing merchants and
manufacturers may profitably avail them
selves. -ErcRqnge.

Mr.. Whitelaw Read, delivered q lec-
ture in New York, his subject was
"School OF Journalism. He reviewed
the history OF journalism as is was and
is, and claimed that the press OF New
York was better to-day than it had ever
been before, in spite Of its deficiencies
and he gave it as his opinion that the
press of this city, during some months
past, would have been vastly helped by
a libel suit n day. AS to schools of
journalism, he thinks they will be bone.
fetal in fostering n professional feeling
which will make the invasion of mere
political aspirants impossible. He closed
as follows:
Independent journalism ! that is
the watch-word OF the future in the pro-
fession. An end of concealmcnts be.
cause the truth would hurt the party ;
an end of one-side expositiops, because
damaging things must only be allowed
against our antagonists an end Of as
suits that are not believed fully just, but
must be made because the ex!gency Of
party warfare demands them ; an end of
SANDERS that are known to be SANDERS,
but must not be exploded because it
would hurt the party ; an end Of hesita-
ton to print the news in a newspaper,
because it may hurt the party an end
Of all half-truths and hesitated lies ; an
end of public contempt for the voice
that 5arks only approval to Sir Oracle,
and through all the busy marts OF trade
and amusements, and learning, and re-
ligion keeps ever barking only this
"'T am His Highncsss dog at Key;
Pray, tell me, Sir, whose dog are you:'
an end, as Emerson has taught us the
happy phrase, at once of official and
oflicinal journalism-that is the boon
which to every perplexed, conscientious
member of the profession, a new and
beneiicent Declaration Of Independence
affords. Under it journalism expands
in balanced and unfettered develop
ment ceases to be one-sided in its
views, and to be distrusted, even in its
facts; because the master, not the tool,
of party; tells the whole truth, com.
mandS the general confidence ceases to

To that passionless ether we may not

cend; but if not the near, it is at least
the certain future of successful and
honorable journalism"

REMEDY FOR WouNDs.-A correspon.
dent of the Countrg Gentleman gives the
following remedy for psnful wounds: Take
pan or shovel, with burning Goals, and
sprinkle upon them common brown sugar,
and hold the wounded part in the smoke
In few minutes the pain will be alayed,
and recovery proceed rapidly, In my
own case rusty nail had made bad
wound in the bottom of my foot. The
pain and nervous irritation were severe
This was all removed by holding it in the
smoke for fifteen minutes, and | was able
to resume my reading in comfort. We
have often recommended it to others, with
like results. Last week one of my men
had a fnger.nail torn out by pair of ice
tongs. 1t became very painful, MS was to
have been expected. Held in sugar smoke
for twenty minutes, the pain ceased, and
it promises speedy recovery.

IT WAS Done. Piggy got into a large
yard where he did not belong, and trying
TO get out again he stuck fast under a
high board fence, and there began to
kick and squeal in the good old way.
His master, big, fat 1rishman, hearing
the hubbub, ran out of the house near
by, and caught his pig by the ears, en-
deavoring to pull him through the hole
before the trespass was detected. But
this treatment had no effect but to make
the pig yell the more. An old ram in
the yard hearing the noise, and seeing
piggy's hind-legs and tail hourishing
away in menacing manner, accepted
what he thought was challenge, and
lowering his head charged with all his
might. He struck his mark squarly and
fairly, and the pig shot through the hole
like a pork cannon-ball, and striking his
master full in the breast, knocked him
fiat, on his back The only person who
witnessed this closing scene was just en-
tcring the yard, and not being aware
how many actors were engaged in it,
was very much surprised to hear what
he supposed to be the pig, swearing

EARTHQUAKES. - That there was O
connection between the recent earth.
quakes in California and Syria is rem,
dered probable by the news that Yesu.
vius has broken out in eruption. 1t is
well known that there is such a close
connection between the eruptions OF
Vesuvius and earthquakes in Southern
Italy, that the former are certain safe.
guard against the latter. When the
former has been silent for long time,
Naples is IN danger of an earthquake,
but when the safety valve of Vesuvias is
open, the danger of violent earthquakes
is over. The present eruption of Versu-
vius is therefore to be interpreted as the
result of forces which, had the the erup-
ton not occurred, would have resulted in
an earthquake. That these forces should
manifest themselves nearly simultano-
ously in California, Syria, and Italy, may
of course, be mere coincidence, but the
presumption is certainly otherwise. 1t
would be interesting to know if that iso-
lated volcanic region, Iceland, has also
been disturbed. II so, the fact would be
a further evidence of the wide spread
character of the recent disturbance.

Wool PRosPEcTs.-It seems probable
that wool will this season again touch
the old and well remembered price Of
one dollar per pound. Contracts for
growing Aeeces are spoken of as having
been made for "choice Ohio" at ninety
cents, and Michigan at eighty. five cents.
Wool growing is now profitable, but it
does not follow that every farmer should
rush into it exclusively. Let sheep be-
come regular well-proportioned part OF
the stock on every farm, and in this le-
gitimate way permanently profitable re-
suits may be looked for.

An ITALIAN MURDER. killing is some
times done in a very cool and business
like way in Rome. An Italian and his
friend were returning home from an
evening visit. They were in the Via
Condotti, street which all so well know
who have visited Rome, when a we'll
dressed man, who had evidently been
following the two friends for some time,
watching his opportunity, whipped into
the side of one OF them n blow with a
knife which left him or the ground, and
from which he died at the neigiboring
Hotel de Rome during the night. So
sudden was the attack that the compan-
ion, seeing his friend fall, thought it was
the result of collision with the man
whom he saw making off and losing him.
self among those who happened to be
passing. No cry was raised, and no clue
has yet been found to the aggressor or
the motive which could have impelled the
atrocious act, but it is imputed to a spirit
of revenge, that passion which first and
last has made so many victims in Italy.
