ABOUT ADVERTISING. - Will it

liberal and progressive men, who
are enterprising and thrifty in their
business, this query has been set
tied in the most practical way.
They advertise and get rich by it;
but there is a right and wrong way
to advertise fails to see this point
clearly, and, therefore, mis-.
apprehends the econ nomical
or p oftable aspects Of the case.

lars" the inquirer proves nothing
by saying, 1T is too MUCH; I can
buy cloth for four and half dol

is the test. Very likely the six
dollar cloth is the cheapest. A la
.dy goes into store and wishes to
see silks; they are three, four and
ten dollars a yard. 81 can buy
them cheaper" she says. Is it any
reason why the seller should reduce

The Lava Beds.

We clip the following interesting
letter from the Charleston Bulletin
of yesterday. 1t is from one Of the
earliest pioneers of Oregon: -
The word "Pedregal," like the
word Canyon has been intro
duced into our language from the
Spanish as designating d feature of
the Typography more clearly and
tersely than any word or:phrase in
our language. As by the word
canyon the ideaof a aravine between
walls of rock is Immediately con-
veyed to the mind, so BY the word
"pedregall" we understand ain ir-
regular volcanic surface of basalt,
trachyre, etc., more or less broken
into upheavals from below, and
cracked and fissured in the process
of cooling. / first saw the term in
Lieute ant Ripley's account Of the
Mexican war: it has since been
everywhere adopted by the corps of
engineers, and occurs frequently in
the exploration for the Pacific Rail
way, ordered by jeff. Davis, Secre-
tary of War in 1855.
The stronghold of the Modoc
Indians is ''pedregal'' of the most
extensive and elaborate description;
it occupies with but few intervals,
100 square miles,
If you can, imagine a smooth,
solid sheet of granite ten miles
square and five hundred feet thick
covering resistless mines of gun:
powder scattered at irregular inter
walls under it; that these mines are
exploded simultaneously rending
the whole field into rectangular
masses from the size of match
box to that of a church, heaping
these masses higher in some places
land leaving deep chasms in others.
Following the explosion the whole
thing is placed in one of Vulcan's
cruciDles and heated up to point
when the whole begins to fuse and
run together, and then suffered tc
COOL.
The roughness of The upper sur
face remains as the explosion lef
! it, while all below is honeyrcombeC
by the cracks and crevices causet
by the cooling of the melted rock
An Indian can, rom the top o
one OF these stone pyramids, shoe
a man without exposing even
square inch of himself. He can
with due haste, load and shoot
; common muzzIe-loading rifle tel
times before a man can scramble
over the rocks and chasms between
the slain and the slayer. If at thi
terrible expense OF life a force dis
lodges him from his cover, be ha
l. only to drop into and follow som
subterranean passage with whlcl
he is familiar to gain another am
bush, from whence it will cost te,
II more lives to dislodge him; and S
, on ad infinitum.

Blowing Bubbles.
A HOME SCENE.

Our Albert, with his-pipe and bowl
Where the bright sunlight ilngers'
Is seated just beyond the reach
Of baby's chubby fingers.
The little ones, with one accord,
Forgetting all their troubles,
Are busy in the pleasant sport
Of catching Alberts bubbles.
And granpapa, in his great armchair,
Diverted by their clamor,
TO have him in their pastime share,
Laws down his Prairie Farmer.
While Albert, pleased at his SUCCESS
In entertaining, doubles
His futile efforts te supply
The great demand for bubbles. ~.
"Now, children, you may each take
turn" . .' -Htr
Cries grandpapa, gay as any,
"NhoeVer blows the biggest ones
Shall have bright, new penny.
"Come. Ben, will you the first one be
TO try to win the wager" -,
"I dess not, dranpapa, but you'll see
Me kill lem like major" .'
"I do not wonder much," said Rose,
'"rhat Ben would rather break them
He often sucks, but never blows, -. ...
Whene'er he tries to make them"
And now bright eyes grow brighte
with
Unspeakable admiration, -,
Invariably followed by. -,.
Regretful exclamation.
Their feelings are too deep for words,
But joyful looks express them,
And grandpapa sits with tnoistenet
eyes,
And murmurs low, "God bless them
"May all their pleasures be as bright;
Likewise may all their troubles,
Fancied and real, be as light =
And transient as the bubbles"
One word from ma dispels the charm,
No one cares who is winner;
They scatter in .uproarious haste, "..
That magic WORD was-dinner!

belongs to winter, and should be
deep; the other to spring and sum
mer, should be shallow.
1t is true that the term deep
plo1ghing is altogether compara-
tive. What would be deep with US
would be considered shallow by the
turners-up Of the almost fathomless
alluvial deposits of the West.
What might be deemed shallow
here would be considered almost
no ploughing at all there. The
character Of the soil and sub-soil
must, tofa great extent, regulate it.
When the surface is thin and def
cient in vegetables matter and the
subsoil of an inferior quality, we
should commence continuously, and
gradually descend as we add to the
quantity Of humus and the other
elements of fertility in the land till
we have reached the greatest at
tainable depth. And here I would
remark that in deepening and imz
proving the quality Of our soil we
not only add to its ability to sustain
plant life, by the increased amount
'of pabulum it affords, but add vast
ly to its capacity for absorbing and
retaining moisture, fact, the prac-
tical Importance Of which caunot
be over-estimated.
The objection urged to deep win
ter preparation and shallow cult.
walton, that the lands run together
ard become too hard for the yigor;
GUS growth Of vegetation, will be
found of limited application where
the lands havebeen properly broken
tand to the right depth. A due re.
gard being paid to drainage, this
F, objection applies, almost exclusive
ly, to soils predominating in clay
If deep ploughlng possesses ad.
vantages already limited at, how
important that it should be accom-
plished as early in the winter at
practicable, that the benefits of the
winter, rains (and frosts in further
pulverizing the land) may be Sc.
cured, that the air may have as long
a time as possible to circulate
thruugh it's bulk, that the stubble,
weeds and grass may have}tilne to
ferment and decay, that the mois-
ture, which arises freely from the
subsoil, in seasons Of drouth, by
capillary attraction, bringing with
it the soluble elements of inorganic
fertility from far below the surface,
and depositing them there, as it
evaporates, may also contribute its
benefits. =.
Mr.. President, our true policy is
concentration; and peculiarly is il
so in our. present circumstances,
By a proper deepening of the soil,
combined with high and judicious
fertilization, one acre may be made
to yield what it has been customary
to gather from four or even six:
with a far less expenditure of labor
and greater certainty as. to-. the re.
