NUMBER 4.
COGHLAN ON THE CHINESE,

Mr. Coohlan, OF California, recently
made an interesting speech in the House,
on his bill fer the suppression of the
Chinese slave trade. He said that the
coolie question was possibly less under
stood by members than any other that
would be likely to come before the House,
but that some of them had gathered great
nowledge of the morality. the standing
ana the intelligence of the fifty thousand
Chinese coolies or slaves that compete
with the labor of the free men of Calitor
MIA, by hali an hours contact with the
free Chinese of San Francisco. He fur
ther said:
startling as the proposition may be to
ONE, personal knowledge for the last
twerty years of the workings of the
Chinese system of labor compels me to
say that in my judgement the labor of the
ffty thousand Chinese who to-day owned
and sold by a few rich companies of mer-
chants infest the Sta'e | have the
honor to represent, is chants who traffic in
human flesh. | know that these compan-
les make the engagements Tor the laborers,
Tx the con peusafon, and send their agents
along to receive the wages of the coolies
labor The records of onr Courts show
that they sell their women for so many
pieces of silver, aud their own conversa-
ton tells that they have introduced into
free America the vile system of Chinese
slave labor"
He entered into part al review of the
Chinese slave system as practiced by kid
nappers, Chinese companies, and even the
Chinese Government itself; and, in sup
port of his position, quoted from papers
sent to the State Depar ment by the Amer
lean Consul at Shanghai, the petitions
sent by II. NJ. Brent, of the Americans
Legation in Peru in regard to the condi-
tion of the coolies in that country, Consul
General Stewards exhaustive papers on the
Tein-Tsn massacre and mass of other
reliable and valuable correspondence. He
concluded by saying that he wanted an
'active. living, breathing law which should
forever prohibit the competition of slave
labor wit the free labor # the country"

THE SCIENCE OF ADVERTISING.
The Cleveland Hearald justly says;

The Cleveland Hearald justly says;
Judcious advertising always pays.
# you have a good thing, advertise it
IF you haven't don't
Don't be afraid to invest in printer
| ink. least your sands of life be nearly run
out.
Large type isn't necessary in adverts
ing Blind folks don't read newspapers
Never run down your opponents goods
in public ct him do his own advertis
| ing
You can't eat enough in one week tc
last you whole year, and you can t adver-
tise on that plan either
1t is true Of advertising as of anything
else in the world-If it is worth doing at
all it Is worth doing we'll
Hand bills 4nd circulars are good OF
their kind. but they cannot take the place
Of newspaper advertisements
No bell EN- ring SO loudly as good ad
vertisement. People will believe what
they see rather than what they hear
We don't recommend advertising as the
best way to get wife but We do know
that is Fe best way to get good trade
If you can arouse curiosity by an adver
tisement, it is great gain. The fair sex
don t hold all the curiosity in the world
People who advertise only once in three
months forget that most IF folks can't re.
member anything longer than seven DAYS
Quitting advertising in dull times is
like tearing out dam when the water is
low. Either plan will prevent good times
from ev. coming.
A constant dropping will wear away the
rock. Keep dropping your advertisement
on the pubic and they will soon melt
under it like rock salt
When people see man advertise they
know he Is business man, and his adver-
tiSng proclamations say he is not above
his business but is anxious to do it.
Dull tines it is said, ''are the best
time Tor advertisers because when money
is tight, and the people are forced to econ
omise, they always read the advertisements
to ascertain who sells the cheapest, and
where they can trade to best advantage
According to the character or extent of
your business, set aside liberal percent
age for advertising. Keep yourself un-
ceasinely before the public: aud it mat
ters not what BUSH ess OF utility you are
engaged in, for, if intel!igently aud in
duslrlously pursued, "A fortune will be the
result.
The man who advertises shows not only
il bu iness talent above his neighbors, but
he may at once be reckoned among the in
dependent. generous and public spirited of
the community. He who hides his light
under bushel, when such advantages as
those at present given are so freely of, red
h IN does not deserve to succeed.

THE CITY OF ATHENS BELEAGURTD
BY BRIGANDs.-A letter from Athens in
the Magdeburg Gazette, says that the
Greek capital is now almost blockaded by
brioauds mo one dares 90 thousand
PAGES out of the town without an escort,
and even then the undertaking is a very
dangerous one, for the brigands are con
cealed beh nd rocks and in bushes, so that
the whole of the escort might be shot down
before their hiding places could be dis
covered The chief OF these brigands is
man named Spanos, who has been notori
Gus for his daring deeds during the last
thirty years; and it may be >aid that he
holds the destinies of Greece in his hands,
for no progress is possible so long as the
present state Of things exists. The inse
curities of property prevents the develop
ment of agriculture No one dares to in
vest capital in land whose produce is to be
annexed by the brigands. Nearly every
day bands OF peasants are brought into
Athens who have been compelled by the
brigands to furnish them with provisions,
etc. and as the lives of these unfortunate
people are threatened when they do not
comply with such acquisitions, the Govern
ment only Furnishes them if they neglect
TO give information to the authorities.
Half of the Greek army has been in pur
suit of Spanos for months; but be and his
band, which consists of only seven meu,
are still close to Athens, and it is even
rumored that he has on several occasions
entered the city with the object of captur
ing sou high parsonage, whom he would
aiterward iberate only on the condition
of his being given large ransom and a
free pardon"
