"TiII Forbid" Advertisements.

Mr.. S. II. Parker, editor of the Gen,
eva N. Y Gazette, in an address deliv-
cred before the Editors and Publishers
Association of his State, at Watertown,
June 25, 1872, thus alluded 10 this source
of so many publishers troubles:
81 am impelled to discourage the ac-
ceptance of advertisements marked till

is the fruitful source of misunderstand-
ings and contentious between publish
ers and patrons. Let me illustrate: Mr..
A. advertises farm for sale. He don't
exactly know how long he may wish to
have such advertisement inserted-may
sell in one, two, or three weeks, and
may not in as many months; will give
orders when it is to be discontinued.
1t is accepted, marked It. f. and runs
for whole year. Then you are accost-
ed by Mr.. A., with the remark: Why
do you, Mr.. Editor, still keep in that
advertisement; sold more than six
months ago-don't you knowit? Didn't

that definite period be fixed for any

ter awhile he gin up the notion of suin
me, but while he stopped in the village
he never got over it, for the boys had
picturs chalked on on the fences and

you'd see sketches of the Parson run
min back from the coffin and me a

out more than ten dollars in small
sums to one boy that belonged to the
Sunday school, hirin him to around

Parson would start out thar on some
fence or door would be the same derned
pictur of him streakin it to head off
the pig. so he would start the boy arter
that one. But one evenin he happened
to catch the same little cuss hard at

Peter Cartwright and Gen. Jackson
Characteristic AnecdOte.

: The incident happened in Nashville
Tenn, during an Annual Conference
and is thus narrated in the famous
Peters Autobiography
Monday evening came; the church
was filed to overfowing. Every seat
was crowded, and many had to stand
After singing and prayer, Brother Mac
(the preacher in charge) took his seat
in the pulpit. l then read my text,
What shall it profit man if he gain
the whole world and lose his own soul.
After reading my text paused. At
that moment | saw Gen. Jackson walk
ing up the aisle. He came to the mid
die post, and very gracefully leaned
against it and stood, as there were no
vacant seats. Just then felt some one
pull my coat tail in the stand, and,
turning my head, my fastidious preacher
(Brother Mac), whispering a little loud,
said Gen. jackson has come in {;

of indignation run all over me like an

would a Guinea negrop
"The preacher tucked his head down
and squatted low, and would no doubt
have been thankful for leave of alb
sence. The congregation, Gen. Jack
son and all, smiled, or laughed right
out, all at the preachers expense.
When the congregation was dismissed,
my city stationed preacher stepped up to
me, and very sternly said to me: you
are the strangest man ! ever saw, and
Gen. jackson will chastise you for your
insolence before you leave city,
Very clear of it, said l, for Gen.
Jack son, have no doubt, will applaud
my course; and if he should undertake
to chastise me, there are two that can
play at that game
"Gen. jackson was staying at one Of
the Nashville hotels. Next morning,
very early, Brother Mac went down to
the hotel to make an apology to Gen.
Jackson for my conduct in the pulpit
the night before. Shortly after passed
by the hotel and met Gen. jackson on
the pavement, and before l approached
him by several steps, he smiled, and
reached out his hand and said:
Mr.. Cartwright, you are man after
my own heart. l am very much sur
prised at Mr.. Mac, to think that he sup
posed that would be offended at you.
No, sir | told him that l highly ap-
proved of your independence; that

you are, could take old England"

Blissful End of a Long COurtship.

A few days since Henry j. Holmes re-
turned to this city with his bride, whom
he married in Prairie City, Polk county,
Iowa. Twenty three years ago, Holmes
left the lady in the place mentioned to
make his fortune in California, the two
being at the same time engaged. The
luck usual with most of the forty-niners
was his {; and after long and unsuccess'
full labor he settled down to legitimate
business, in which he managed to slowly
accumulate property. After time he
returned to Iowa for his bride but her
brother was afflicted with long and
tedious illness, and the faithful sister
would not leave him. The illness ter
minated in death few months since,
and then the lady wrote her betrothed
the two having corresponded regular
ly all this time-that she was free and
he might come again. Holmes was now
possessed of comfortable competence,
and he was still faithful. He promptly
responded to the summons, married the
lady, and is now settled in the enjoy
ment of domestic happiness. 1t is sell
dom that hope so long deferred in this
particular direction is finally realized,
but they are practical couple, and
| probably feel no older now than they
did twenty three years ago.-San Fran

The Wilderness of London.

Who is generally known or cared
about in London? | do net say uni
versally known, for nobody enjoys that
proud distinction, not even the Prince
of Wales-nay, not even the Tichborne
claimant. But who is ever generally
known? Gladstone and Dsraeli are;
and Bright a. Dickens was, and, to a
certain extent, Thackeray. Archbishop
Manning and Mr.. Spurgeon are, per-
haps; but cannot remember anybody
else just now. Palmerston, in his day,
wa, better known than any of these;
and the Duke of Wellington was by far
the most widely known of all. The
Duke of Wellington was the only man
who during my time was nearly as we'll
known in London as Mr.. Greeley is in
New York. "How can you, you know?'
as Mr.. Pecksniff asks. We have four
millions of people crowded into one
city. 1t takes giant of popularity in
deed to be seen and recognized above
that crown. AS for your Brownings
and Spencers and Froudes and the rest
your mere men of genius-well, they
have their literary celebrity and they
will doubtless have their fame. But
average London knows and cares nc
more about them than it does about
you or me.-Justia McCarthy, in GALAXY

Artificial Ewes.

A French p aper gives detailed ac-
count of the manufacture of false eyes
in Paris, from which the curious fact
appears that the average sale per week
of eyes intended for the human head
amounts to 400. One of the leading
dealers in this article carries OF the
business in a saloon of great magniti-
cence his servant has but one eye, and
the effect Of any of the eyes wanted by
customers is conveniently tried in this
servants head, so that the customer
can judge very readily as to the apps ar,
ance it will produce in his own head.
The charge is about $40 per eye. For
the poor there are second hand visual
organs, which have been worn for a
time, and exchanged for new ones
they are sold at reduced prices, and
quantities are sent off to India and the
Sandwich Islands.

Theirs OratOry.

By the pen of an American writer we
have M. Theirs as an orator shown us
He stands before us in almost priest
like simplicity of attire, and addresses
hi audience in a voice which, to use
the writer's own words, is the most re
markable phenomenon the tribune has
ever offered. 1t is thin, soft and small
and gains volume only by its contin
uousness. In neither speech nor man
ner is he commanding, and his speeches
are really only chats with his listeners
for in them he carries out the feeling
his own appearance inspires, that O
familiarity. But when reused to a de
fiant attitude with an adversary, "ht
crosses his arms over his breast, moves
his head energetically, and his face as
sumes the expression of an enraget
osprey"

British Criminal Statistics.

Truly, money is spent most lavishly
on criminals in Great Britain and Ire.
land. In England and Wales in 1869
there were $4,000 criminal prosecutions.
which cost $l.l40,000. In Scotland
there were $500 prosecutions, costing
$l25OO0. In Ireland there were $500
prosecutions, costing S255,000. Thus
each English prosecution costs $32 so
each Scotch about SIS, and each Irish
$50. In England the total of attorneys
and counsels' fees amount to $2S0,OOO
in Ireland to $lS0,000. The English
journals are inquiring how it is possible
that it costs almost double to prosecute
criminal in Ireland than it does in
Ena land.

Some Distinguished Lunatics.

Insanity" is often the excuse for
wickedness. In many cases it is doubt
less impossible to decide at what point
moral accountability ceases and mad
ness begins. 1t is certain, however,
that unbridled passions often Lead 10
madness, and tn ere is no safety IN CIV, "
ing free license to the animal part OF
mans nature. A recent English maga,
zine now puts forth the theory that
many notable persons OF past ages were
insane; and thus accounts for their
wild and wicked deeds. He believes
that Robespierre was made insane by
the exciting events of the time; that
Louis XII. was insane both in his des-
potic cruelty and his caprices and that
Jeffreys, the notorious English Judge,
was a raving maniac. He also asserts
that Nero and Caligula were lunatlcs,
and their cruelty and tyranny the out
bursts of insanity. The caprlcious
frenzies of Heliogabalus are called mad
ness, and the ambition of Alexander

thereby concluded that the battle had

Most OF the combatants engaged were
grappled in a deadly embrace, while
others but recently commenced were
standing erect on their hind legs and
soaring for the advantage with all the
science of the most experienced swords

of attack, and the one for whicn it
seemed all contended, was the ligament
which joined the main body with the

then ready and eager for another en-
gagement.
No undue advantage was taken by

one or both parties. Never, perhaps,
