question of issuing more greenbacks de-
pended on the needs of the public, but it
seems that it is the trcasury,not the mon
cy market, which is short, The Internal

hundred thousand dollars daY,while the
payments on relief bills aul appropriations
rushed through at the end Of the session

Jackssn's Speech.

A correspondent gives to the Hopkins,
Nesc Era the following as a speech made
BY Gen. jackson. when he was yet poor
backwoods lawyer in Tennessee and un-
known to fame. He was employed to
prosecute negro for the murder of au-
other in a f. of jealousy, and bis speech
to the jury was the following paragraph:
mo more shall the voice of the poor
murdered man be heard in the songs of
the merry corn huskings. No more shall
he pluck the snowy sotton ball. No more
shall the forest resound with the echoes
Of his hunting horn as with his dogs he
chased the opossum and the coon. No
more shall his nimble feet keep time 10
the mEsic Of the harp as he paited juba
and ous the pigeon wing. That voice once
50 joyful is nsw hushed in death. Those
limbs once no agile are now rigid and still.
His body now lies upon the blood-stained
turf, with his big toe pointing up to the
blae arched vault of Heaven"

De People Read Advertisements.

There is now and then persen so stu
pid as to believe that advertisements in
the newspapers are not generally read,
and that money expended in advertising
is practically wasted. Even such will
concede that if a hundred men of polite
address, of fluent speech and ready wit
we're to call upon hundred others and
get the ear Of each long enough to say
John Smith, or Jones, or Thompson, at
such place, has such and such goods at
such prices, or would sell farm or house
and lot, or has lost horse or pocket>book
or would loan money, etc., We say, such
men will concede that the services Of this
hundred men would be of great value to
Smith or Jones, and in some manner ad-
vantageous to the party to whom this
statement was made, These one hundred
men could not be employed to 60 from
door to door, and make this statement to
ten thousand people at less than a cost
of several hundred dollars each trip. All
thisis done by the newspapers at cost of
few shillings, or few dollars at most,
and the visits are made each week after
week, and day after day. The messenger
who travels addresses himself to the ear,
ard takes the party addressed when he
may have his thoughts absorbed in bust
ness or other matters but the newspaper
reaches the party sought through the eye
when the reader has his thoughts solely
fixed upon the paper before him.
But those who affect to believe that
there is little use in advertising Urge as
an objection that the advertisements are
not read. They can easily be convinced
Of their error in this respect by making
inquiry. Let them insert an advertise
ment Offering to purchase some article
that is tolerably plenty in the market,
and they will be flooded with offers to sell
before the ink of the advertisement is dry.
An entel prising weekly that has circu-
lation OF one. two, or three thousand
copies is in a position to do the village
merchant great good, and for which, as
rule,the publisher does not get one-fourth
of what he justly deserves. In its sphere,
the weekly is Of quite as much service to
the advertiser as is the daily, and often
times enjoys the privilege of being the
exclusive family visitor, privilege the
daily seldom has.

Ysung Ladies' 81 Te-Day.

Did you ever think what contrast
there is between the young lady Of to-day
and the one Of fifty, or even a score of
years ago? Then lady was one who
could take care Of herself-could sing in
plain musical English, wash, bake, and
cook all kinds of food, milk COW II me-
cessary, and make herself generally use-
full. If she didn't she was chilled lazy
that was all there vas about it. But
now, VIC have no lazy woman; they are
all delicate. The msdern young lady is
a strange compound of dress and nerves
by which We mean those exquisite
suscsptibilities" which cause her to shud-
der when she sees washtub, and scream
at the sight of COW. She is living
image made to be waited upon. She
sings "divinely" and plays on the piano
"exquisitely;" but neither one of these
affects you as much as the jabbenng of a
North American Indian. for it is not half
as Ineligible. She lounges about in the
morning, crochet or embroiders a little,
then dresses herself up and promenades
for the benefit Of soms"genteel exquisite" Z"

Oliver Wendell Holmes says this is the
way women prepare to play on the piano /:
at was a young woman with as many
white founcss round her as the planet
Saturn has rings, that did it. She gave
the music. stool twirl or two and buffed
down on it like twirl of soap-suds hand
basin. Then she pushed up her cuffs as il
she was going to fight for her champions
belt. Then she worked her wrists and
hands to timber m, suppose, and spread
out her fingers till they looked as though
they would pretty much cover the key
boards from the growing end down to
the little squeaky one. Those two hands
of hers made jump at the keys as if
they were acouple of tigers coming down
upon flock of black and white sheen,
and the piano gave great howl as if its
tail has been tread on. Dead stop-so
still you could hear your hair growing.
Then another howl, as il Che piano had
got two tails, and you had trod on both
Of 'em at once; and then grand clatter
and scramble, and strings of jumps, up
and down, back and forward, one hand
over the other, like stampede Of rats and
mice mora than like anything l call

A Remarkable Revival.

Rev. E. P. Hammond, whose eccentric
methods Of attracting notoriety and thers-
by drawing large audiences, oooasioned so
much excitement in Dubuque, Iowa, has
now turned up in Denver City, Colorado,
whero by his peculiar proceedings he has
occasioned an intense excitement over re-
ligious matters. The revival, as it is
termed, has been in progress for weeks,
and several hundred conversions have
been made. Tickets for reserved seats
were distributed Friday among gamblers,
saleon>keepers and depraved woman, and
many Of them attended, several of them
rising for prayers. Committees visit oil
the saloons and houses of ill>fame and
pray with the inmates. Prayer meetings
are held 10 the Jail among the prisoners,

Better than Geld.

We often hear little boys telling Of the
wonders they will do when they grow to
be men. They are looking and longing
for the time when they shall be large
enough to carry cane and wear q tall
hat and not one Of them will say that
he expects to be a poor mau, but that
every one intends to be rich. Now money
is very good in its place; but let us tell
you little boys, what is a great deal bet
ter than money, aud what yeu may be
earning all the time you are waiting to
grow large enough to earn fortune. The
Bible tells us that "a good name is rather
to be chosen than great ri ;bcs, an loving
favor rather than silver and gold" A
good name does not mean name for be-
ing the richest man in town, or for owning
the largest house. A good name for
wearing a pleasant face an6 carrying
cheerful heart; for always doing right, no
matter what we may be.

nationality, in aid of the family of your

to the appeal which his dying words convey
to all who have hearts to feel for those who
were so cruelty bereft. But trust that st.
Louis will not be the only city to honor
brave mans death by remembering those to
whom it leaves the inheritance OF keen
distress.
