GEN. SPINNKR's PLAN TO REFORM THs
CIVIL SERvIoE.-A considerable part Of Gen
Spinner's report is devoted to the absolute
necessity of such an increase in salaries as will
enable the government TO obtain the services of
class of men who, with the present pay, cannot
be secured, before any real progress can be
made in reforming the civil service. The force
IN the Treasury Is lar too small to allow of
proper pre- cautions to be taken. He attributes
the late defalcation in New York, the Hodge
defalcation and others, directly to the small
force which the law provides for. He thinks
thar to increase the pay till honest men without
wealth can afford to take offices will, In great
measure. remedy the evil offices so frequently
falling into the hands of those who seek then,
solely for the ''stealings" they afford. A new
check has been introduced upon disbursing
officers, which requires a weekly examination
and report as to the condition Of all accounts
from each depositary. OF these 1,735 are
received weekly. and copies are sent to the
different departments interested.
Immediately Gen. Spinner mentions that
effoits wiii soon be made to place the new loan.

"C =dckor" entered his house, and his

Successful AdrerlIsInr.

We copy the following from q little
annual issued by R. g. Dunn & Co.
The objects to b. kept in view by i'd
yertisen are;
]. That their announcements shall
reach the class of people aimed at,
Q. That they shall reach as many OF
that class as possible.
3. That the advertisement shall come
directly before the eye, and not be lost
in crowd.
4. That It shall he made as much to
the interest OF the buyer to look for the
advertisement aS it is for the seller to
advertise.
In successful ndvertisine--that is adj
vcrtisiUg which is so dispensed US To
make the above pointS-there is only
one other condition required, and that
is one which the advertiser alone can
supply-the goods offered for sale must
commend themselves, ms well for excel.
lence Of quality, as for chcapness and
other advantages.
Some advertisers may no fifty remind.
cd that it is not the mere spending Of
money that pays, but the spending
money iudiciously. Advertising liberllly
does not mean advertising indiscrimi.
nntely. A live business house will no
more neglect iudicious advertising than
it will neglect It's collections. A'lyertis-
ing gives the impetus 10 trade, that tact
holds the helm. As matter OF expert
euce it is beyond dispute that iulicious
advertising paTs 10 an extent beyond any
ordinary comparison with its cost, The
progress of population an settlement is
SO rapid that good old house" which
does not advertise is in danger OF losing
much sound custom. Some people
thing il Smacks of dignity to say they
live without advertising. They may lire
upon this kind Of dignity, but life is one
thing, and success in life is another. A
good reputation in business means that
You shall be piisiy rs well rs fayorably
known. cool advertisement is worth a
good price. A bad advertisement is
worth nothing.
II is not unnecessary TO caution the
advertiser against posfponine his adyer'
tisement until the purchasing season is
upon him, He is very likely 10 do this
II his chosen medium he weekly paper,
and the consequence is that rs buvers
are then too busy to look after adver-
tisements, his money is thrown away.
