Advertising in Dull Times.

From the New York Evening Post
The Milwaukee Wisconsin relates the
following.
After the crash of 81, when everybody
was almost scared to death, and the croa-
kers predicted that the country had gone
to smash, a dry goods house was opened in
this city, which proceeded on the principle
that III order to reach the boarded money
in the pockets of the people the proprie-
tors must sell at very reasonable prices and
advertise very largely. They worked vig-
orously upon this principle. Their broth
err merchants who did not advertise pre-
dicted that the new corners would be ruin
ed, as they paid too much for advertising
Nevertheless, they persisted. In single
year they paid $500 in gold to the Daily
Wisconsin for advertising, and at the end
OF seven years they retired with fortune
OF 100000, while other merchants on the
same street, some OF them opposite their
store, had failed.
We remember similar instance among
our own advertisers in the panic Of 1857.
A merchant continued his advertisement at
in our columns through the whole fperiod
Of stagnation, and notwithstanding the
many predictions that 1T wouldn't pay. ~
His testimony aiterward was that his sales
we're steady and his profits satisfactory
while many a merchant around him who
couldn't afford to advertise" saw hi:
clerks stand idle behind the counters.
A financial panic does not mean that nc
one has any money. There is plenty Of
money in the country, and those who hoard
it are just the ones 10 be eager for the
bargains which fall in the prices holds
out. But to buy they must know where
TO buy, and the merchant who tells then

Springfield is troubled with rowdyism
in public entertainments, and the papers
there ask that people who give entertain
ments also secure police force, to be sta
toned in various parts of the hall, and
that the first Internal hoodlum who opens
his ugly mouth to cat call, or who indul-
ges in any unseemly conduct whatever, be
soundly dubbed into decency, and then
locked up until he learns that he will not
be permitted to outrage deceney with i'm
punity.
AT public entertainments in Spring
field, so the papers say, as soon as 1.-THE
curtain falls, the hoodlum and his associ-
ates start for the door, their heavy tramp,
tramp, along the aisles and down the steps
leading to the gallery creating what they
seem to think pleasing diversion in the
evenings entertainment. Soon the per-
formance is resumed, and after it gets fair
" under way the hoodlums return, their
breath redolent OF beer and villainous
whisky, and they rush pell nell up the
steps, and throw themselves over the
benches in that jovial, rollicking manner
peculiar to the genuine hoodlum."
Henry Arnold. Mattoon, ILL.,, pawned
his pocket book, gun, the beefsteak for his
family's supper, and jug of molasses, for
whisky, to one Kellerman,a saloon keeper,
and went home raving with intoxication
doing damage to himself and family. Mrs
Arnold sued Kellerman and obtained judg
ment for $1,000. A just Judgment. A
saloon keeper that has no more heart thar
to take the meat and molasses from aneedy
family as pledge for whisky to the hus.
band, ought to be severely bled in the purse
as that is the only way such a heather
wretch could be made to feel the effects Of
the wrong be had committed.

WHOSE VICTORY 2

The Liberal Republican State Conven-
ton, of New York, adopted part of each
State ticket, viz; the Comptroller and
State Prison Inspector on the Republican
ticket; and the balance of the Democratic
ticket. 1t is now thought that only the
men indorsed by the Liberal Republicans
are elected. The Tribune of the 14th,
says
To-day they all know that the boilers, the seed
er- the renegaders," the heretiCai, the disguised
have decided the election. Neither OF the great
parties can show laurel.
Ii these things are thus, the Indepeni-
ent men have decided the contest in New
York, and it is nobody victory but theirs.
