ADJUSTMENTS.

THE WYNDHAM COMEDY COMPANY,
comprising nineteen players of ac-
knowledged merit, will appear tonight
in Saratoga, for which the management
have provided new scenery and ma
chinery. The costumes, We know, will
be all that good taste dictates in the
fashionable and highest circles. There
viii be, of course, a rush for seats. The
Wyndhams are favOrites in Memphis,
and may reasonably count upon a pat
rOnage that will encourage them to
continue their annual visits. As the
season draws 10 q close the management
seem to be more and more DESTROYS of
making amends for the i-nterregnums
from which the city has suffered, and of
which we have Justly complained.

HnmOrs of the Campaign.

At Rome, Ga, lately, an incident
occurred which was shocking and seri-
Gus, yet pleasant. AS the train going
north was passing the Rome 4 Water
town Railroad shops, at a fair rate of
speed, II brakesman on that road was
walking northward on the same track.
The noise of the shop prevented his
hearing the approach of the train.-
Workmen near, who saw the danger,
shouted to him, but he did not hear
them. Nor did he notice the approach
ing train until it WAS ut his heels; then
realizing the danger of his position, he
united all his forces in one spring to
free himself from 80 imminent Il dam
ger, but was too late. Just ;,s his feet
left the ground the engine struck him
in that portion of the body whereon he
sits, and pitched him, heels over head,
twenty feet i'll the air. He landed on
his feet, picked up his hat, and in an
excited enthusiasm shouted: "Three

Plaindealer of that city:
NORTHwOOD, N. H., Aug. %, 1872.
Dear Sir-YOur letter expressing the
wish of yourself and many friends to
know my views Of public duty in the
approaching Presidential election has
been received. My answer must be
brief.
make no secret of my conviction
that the highest interests of our country
require the election of Mr.. Greeley, or
my intention to vote for him. At tho
same time I cheerfully acknowledge
our Indebtedness to Gen. Grant for his
services in the war and for much Of his
administration rs President.
My thanks are due and gratefully
given to my countrymen who felt and
feel toward me the sentiments you OK
press. My health was and is too pre-
carious to allow a wish for tho nomina-
ton. Everything and more than could
be hoped for from me may be expected
from Mr.. Greeley.
Yours truly, s. p. CHASE.

Advertising Makes business.

Advertising brings the merchant
business !; it sells his goods. Without
advertising, the sheriff would be oblig-
ed to sell his goods for him. Advertis-
ing fills steamers, ships and railroad
trains with passengers. 1t rents and
sells houses and farms; sells stock; it
brings labor and capital together for
mutual benefit; it increases commerce
by showing what one nation has to sell
to another, and what it wishes to buy;
it helps the poor rs well as the rich it
is in fact the greatest power that infuses
life and trade in business. Without
advertising, newspapers could not have
an existence, and without newspapers
we could have no "1nodern" civiliza-
ton,

The great advantages possessed by these
machines is their simplicity, cheapness,
availability and complete mastery over fire.
They are charged with seven gallons of wa
ter, in which is dissolved quantity of conf
mon soda, and in this solution is suspended
small leaden bucket filled with sulphnric
acid. THUS charged, they arc set away for
use. At the moment needed, the acid is
emptied into the water by upsctting tho
bucket containing it, and the machine is
ready for use. 1t throws a stream thirty
feet, of mingled water and gas, and is easily
transport cd and worked by one person.
One railroad in Illinois has $50 of these
machines, another i2o, Chickcring e Sons,
Boston, haye 30, and Il recent law of Con-
gress requires their use on all water crafts
in the United States. The town of Homer
was recently saved from destruction Nv ono
of these machines.

To Il EDITOR OF THF "ST. CRo1xAvIs."
Mr.. Editor,
1t grieves me to see that our mutual
friend and Bogus Note Manufacturer seems
to be dissatisfied with my s~cribbling, and
takes exception to the broiling process, and
would have preferred being fried, proba-
bly, from some instructive dread of the grid
iron, or perhaps, this is his way of recon-
mending his clients frying pans. But be
his motives whatever they may, this much
seems to be certain that he would have
preferred being fried instead of being broil-
ed, which is a matter of taste, and de gus
THUS non est ~dSpmandum. He begs me
very pititully not to speak more of broil-
ing, and acknowledges that he is besieged,
but cannot admit that [ am a Bismark, to
which [ have no objection whatever. But
when it appears to him that broiling him
IN his W fat means to misuse his words
and abuse the Tidende, / must at once pro-
test against such insinuations. When did
any body ever hear me abuse anything or
any body? No! Mr.. We're de We're, it was
reserved tor you to abuse, if abuse there be
on either side, in saying, in the same note,
that the tastldious Crucians have furnish

affecting to sheer at the quotation from
Shakespeare that "men do their broken
weapons rather use than their bare hands,"

Shakespeare, Unfortunately, it was only,

tor the Tidende had a short time be-
tore accused some body OF expressing him

Genesis ('the blood of the grape.")
The unfortunate expositor, always with
an eye to the almighty dollar. finding that
his biweekly expeditions of Sancho Panza

at some insignificant sum-, as Santa Cruz's
