TnE WORLD MOvEs.-A correspondent Of
the Boston Journal, writing from Balti-
more, mentions an incident which shows
wonderful change in the public feeling in
regard to the eolored people in that city.
He says:
- The Fisk Jubilee Singers gave concert
here recently, and were received with I'M
bounded enthusiasm. Such songs as TO
down. Moses, and Didn't my Lord deliver
Daniel were rapturously enc0red, and
when the singers stepped out of the pro
gramme to give two stanzas of the Star
Spangled Banner, they were fairly drowned
out BY applause before half through. But
the most notable feature of the concert,
which was given in the best hall in the
city, was the selling of reserved seats to
colored people-a thing unprecedented in
the history of Baltimore.

Do PEOPLE READ ADvEKTIsKyESTs.-T
Is now and then person 50 stupid as to be-
lieve that advertisements on newspapers are
not generally read, and that money ex-
pended in advertising is practically wasted.
Even such will concede that if hundred
men Of polite address, Of fluent speech and
ready wit were 10 call daily or weekly each
npon hundred others and get the ears Of
each long enough to say Jno. Smith or Jones,
or Thompson at such place, has such and
such goods at such prices, or would sell a
farm, or house and lot, or had lost q horse
or pOcket-book, or would loan money, etc.
We say such men viii concede that the ser
vices Of these one hundred men would be Of
great value TO Smith or Jones, and in some
measure advantageous to those TO whom this
statement was made The hundred men
could not be employed to 20 from door to
door and make this statement TO ten thousand
people at less than the cost Of several dollars
each trip. All this Is done by the news
papers at cost ola few shillings or 4 few
dollars at most, and the visits are made week
after week, day after day. The messenger
who travels, addresses himself 10 the ear and
takes the party addressed, when he may
have his thoughts absorbed in business 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 OBJ
lection that advertisements are not read.
They can be easily convinced Of their error
in this respect by making inquiry. Let
them insert an advertisement offering TO
purchase some article that Is tolerahly plenty
in the market. and they viii be flooded with
offers 10 sell before the ink Of the advertise
ment is dry. An enterprising weekly that
has a circulation Of one, two or three

MosBF As AN ACCIDENTAL NITSEss.-An
interesting incident occurred in the rooms
of the Southern Claims Commission, in
Washington, few days ago. James 5.
Gardner of Loudoun county. Va, was max
ing a statement respecting his claim for ST.,
500 for property taken from his farm by
Union soldiers, when Col. j. ). Mosby en-
tered. Mr.. Gardner told how he escaped
from the rebels under Mosby, and how he
saved his property to be kept only, however,
until the Union soldiers came along and
gObbled it up. Mosby, who was unknown
to the witness, took a seat some ten feet
from him and listened attentively. Finally
Gardner related the trouble that MOsby and
other rebels gave him by endeayorlng to
chase him out of the county because he was
a Union man, and ended by saying, " They
did not succeed, however remained there
all the time" One of the Commissioners
asked Gardner, Did you ever see that
Mosby - To which Gardner replied, " No,
sir but he was hard after me many times. ="
Mosby then turned directly to Mr. Benja-
min, the chief clerk of the Commission, and
asked. who is this witness? what's
his name?'' He was informed, to which
MOsby replied, "Oh, yes, know him to be
a LOYAL man. too there was good many
after him. The counsel for Gardner heard
this, and turning round asked Of Mr.. Ben
jamin, % Who is this man?' He was in
formed that it was Col Mosby, and he i'm
mediately asked him if he would give in
evidence Of Mr.. GARDENERS loyalty. MosbJ
then, to the surprise of Gardner, took the
stand and testified that he himself had never
seen him (Gardner) during the war, though
he had often tried to catch him as one Of
the few Union men of Loudoun.
