THE SCIENCE OF ADVERTISING.

IL has been well said that chow to adver~
tise" is department of commercial knows
edge as essential4o mercantile success in these
days as arithmetic. Money need not be vast
ed in it, bat it should be literally, while jus
dfciously expended, .'where it will do the
most good" The whole science of advertise
ing may be summed up in one sentence
make your business aud name known to the
purchasing world =" familiar as q household
word. !" A little reflection, as the Lynchburg
Republican we'll says, will convince any one
of the'value of the columns of the newspapers
for this purpose. You pick up your favorite
journal, and there, staring you in the face, in
bold letters, is the'name and business of some
firm in the city. 1t meets your eye day after
day until it becomes stereotyped upon the
tablets of your memory. Whenever you want
anything in that line, the name and the firm
that you have SO often seen looms up in your
mind, and you recall everything connected
with it. That firm may have fine store, q
magnificent sign may grace its doors, but you
seldom pass along the street upon which they
may be located, and have never noticed it
You only know of it from having seen it SO
often in your newspaper This applies to not
one advertiser, but to all, whose names are
familiarized to the reading public by frequent
repetition in the newspapers. The sign in
the paper is more essential than the sign over
the door, when we take into consideration the
limited number of people who may chance to
pass through that particular thoroughfarc,
comparatively, with the numbers of persons
who daily peruse the columns of a newspaper.
These facts are indisputable, and have al
ready been extensively acknowledge by those
who have left the beaten paths of old fogy>
ism, and instead of sitting in their handsome
stores waiting for their friends to hunt them.
visit them as it were, daily through the news
papers, and extend them an invitation to call.
The newspaper is the city's representative in
the great big, busting world outside. The
name of business firm, constantly presented
in its columns, is soon learned by heart. until
it comes to he associated with a certain line
of goods and business, that tho latter cannot
be mentioned or thought of without that par
ticular merchant instinctively presents him
self to the minds eye. Advertise little as
you may, as to space and cost-but advertise
often. The advice is not altogether disin-
terested on our part but it is none tho less
good advice. Practical experience. tbou.
sand to one, has abuudantly attested IT,

RAILWAY LIABILITIES IN GER
MANY,

Mr.. f. Jusseo, of Chicago, in conmuni
cation to the Tribune summarizes the law and
usages of Germany in regard to the liability
of railways: The special act of the diet of
June Z, 1871, provides that "if a person is
killed, or receives bodily injury, through the
management of railroad, the railroad is
liable for damages accru:ug. unless it can show
affirmatively that the accident happened by
the act of God, or through the negligence of
the killed or Injured person." The effect of
this law, as interpreted by the preamble there
to, aud the discussion of its provisions, is thus
set forth 1t applies to all railways, whether
propelled by horses or steam; every injury
which impairs tho health of the person calls
for damages, though this injury be only phys
ical, caused by fright and terror at tho time
of the accident; the prosecution need only
prove the accident. and the fact Of the injury
or killing at the time of the accident, and is
not required to show due care on the mart of
the party injured or killed, nor negligence on
the part of the management of the railroad.
There are only two facts admissible in defense
on the part of the railroad, viz: that the ac-
cident happened through ais ,nqjor (act of
God), or through the negligence of the per-
son injured or killed. in all other cases the
company or management is Internationally
liable.

against D. H. Gehr, for selling her husband

under you, and saw you when wounded at
Gettysburg; we had to fall back and leave
you, aud none of the boys expected to see you
alive again.
General Kemper: Kirkbridc, I remem-
Der your face, but could not recall your name.
You belonged to the gallant Twenty fourth.
Let me tell you, there are good men aud bad
men everywhere, and we ought not to con-
denim any section unfortunately because of

All had heavy work.

The Antietam Paper Mill.

The Antietam Paper Mill, burned at Funks-
town, Washington county, Maryland, on
Thursday night has melancholy history
The building was one of the finest structures
in Western Maryland, and was originally in
tended for wooden mill. About six years
ago number of the citizens of Washineto
county organized joint stock company, and
erected large four>story building on the
banks OF the Antietam, in which they placed
the finest machinery for manufacturing wooden
goods which could be procured. great
many farmers, desiring to encourage the en-
terprise, took stock in the concern, some in>
vesting $1,000 and some as high as SIS, 900
Owing to incompetent management the mill
never went into operation, and it was covered
with judgments, mortgages, and mechanics
liens before it was completed. Nearly all the
costly machinery was taken away by the man
ufacturers from whom it had been purchased,
and multitude of creditors coutended with
each other for what was left The unluckv
stockholders would have been glad to lose all
they had invested, and discharged from fur
Their liability but the law held them resposi-
bic for a portion of the debt equal in amount
to the stock owned by each. The farmer
who paid ST 600 for his worthless stock, paid
the additional sum of 81 900 to the creditors
There were divers bills in equity, and num-
Der of suits at law, all of which were decided
against the stockholders. The property was
sold by the Sheriff for very small frac>
ton of what it cost, and was bought by
MIR. John w. Stonetraker, of Hagerstown,
who converted it into paper mill. which has
been in successful operation 70. three years.

To return to market>bouses Last summer
Fulton and Washington markets presented
very unhealthy appearance. Booths were
built on every available spot of ground, in
which meals we're sold-not all conducive to
public health. Now not one of these booths
is seen. The New York Board of Health has
given to the markets an outward show of clean
illness which speaks well for the articles sold
within. A small board sign hung in the most
conspicuous locality reminds the vender and
butcher, that cleanliness is necessary for the
health OF the metropolis. The butchers call
it the aboard of health" An old man, who
used to sell penny-whistles in the market has
been removed. He told me-tears flowing
down his unwashed cheeks-how the commits.
sioners ruined him by demolshing bis ware
room--an old flour barrel. It's a shame to
destroy poor old mans hopes and whistles
but, above all, to render him insolvent in the
eyes of the nearest bar>keeper. There's an
individual of Falstaf>propor.ions frequently
seen around these markets, who is regarded
as the greatest sneezer in New York. 1t is
said that after dark, if he once sneezes all the
gas and kerosene-lights are Immediately ex-
tinguished. He has an object in the extra,
ordinary sneeze-he's an agent for patent

and Jones has never been arrested for hino
but once-that was for lying dead drunk on
the sidewalk. Elk HARpER's FERRIAN.
