Throwing Money Away.

IL is time all business men Should understand
that, with here and there a special exception,
for advertising that is worth their serious at
tention. The newspaper Is a thing of life,
Visible fact, sure of its circulation, certain to
be read. 1t constantly renews its youth; daily
or weekly it appears afresh, containing many
old faces. making themselves constantly more
and more familiar, but holding also fresh facts.
the latest news, the last wonder; even in its
gossip, il gives the matter of its time and tells
us what is alive and moving, up ID the very
date 1t bears, while its advertising columns
show what Is being done in commercial circles
and lays before its readers a concise summary
OF tho1e new ideas through which money i
made by their fellows. AS compared with all
other advertising methods its charges are rea-
sonaole, and It's promises are modest, and while
the business man Is supporting it, he is, more
over, gaining from it in more ways than he may
see at first sight.
Albums, Strangers Guides" and such like
volumes introduced to the merchant by the
supple young solicitor, as "the greatest mejum
scheme ever projected" 1t is true that the
merchant is promised ga circulation of from
live to ten thousand and q copy gratis to every
sand copies pIinted?-fve hundred?-one hun
dred? The advertiser has no means of know
ing. 1t is too often the case that such schemes
are advertising traps which the merchant enters
pmhdly. In the newspaper every facility is
ohered him In ascertaining the strength and the
probable value of his investment, while, at the
same time, the newspaper must send its issue to
Its various subscribers who paw for it aud

tells; who reads them? You see hundreds of
people in hotel parlors with their newspaper, but
how many look over the old, dlapidated, mar
gin-scribbled "Guide to Strangers?n The mo-
mept such a work is published it becomes old.
The matter and the pictures are already obso-
lete before the last advertiser pays in. Have
these the influence of the family newspaper
chiefest OF household gods? Probably not The
"Hotei Album, y if its publishers promises are
kept, is sent to divers hotels Suppose for a mo-
ment that strangers read them, OF what advan-
tage is 1t as compared with the paper which
strikes the very heart-center of those from
whom the merchant expects his trade. And.
last of all, the "Album' gives him but one in
seItion. One insertion for perhaps a hundred
dollars. The same amount would make the
merchants name q household word in the com
munity from which he draws his best custom
custom that he can look after among people he
knows something about.
The question then arises, "why do merchants
waste money in this kind of Advertising" Per
haps the merchants could best tell us, if they
would.-AmeTIcdH Newspaper ReDorter.

correspondent of the Boston Post has been
looking MP that branch OF the Oneida Commu
nifty which Is located at walhngford, Connecti-
cut. No one could possibly read his description
OF their little settlement without feeling that 80
neariy to perfection. K colony OF pleasant cot
tages, surrounded with magnificent orchards
and flower beds, while the material industries
Of the people were conducted in u perfectly APP
pointed silk factory, testified 70 the THRIFT and
industry OF the community. The social princi
pies OF these people, however, are apt % disen-
with an admiring eye upon their results. This
correspondent interviewed one OF the sages OF
the community, and 50 far we can Judge
from his cloudy exposition Of the communal
doctrine, we should say that its practice is not
very much more immoral than the Mormon
theory OF connubial life. The curious feature
of the Oneida religious and physical law is that
the common interest Of all in lands and proper
ty extends 70 women. II John Smith webs
Sarah Jones, she IL no more his wife than that
Of any other member OF the community who
takes q fancy TO her. We extract q few sem
fences which seem 20 embody the pith of the
Oneida doctrine, as set forth by one Of the chief
apostles:
'sour doctrine is that the whole matter Of love
and its expression should be subject 90 enlight-
ened self-control. We regard IL better in the
early stage OF passionsl experience for the
young OF both sexes to associate In love with
persons older than themselves, and IL possible
with those who are spiritual and have been
some time in the school of self control, and who
are thus able TO make love safe and edifying. IL
Is well understood by Psychologists that IL il
undesirable for persons Of similar characters
and temperaments TO mate together. We have
discovered that IL is undesirable for two in
experienced and unspiritual persons 10 rush
into fellowship with each other; that it is far
better for both TO associate with persons OF
mature character and sound sense. IL You take
an interest in this matter, sir, l can explain
further by saying that another general princi-
pie with us Is that IL is not desirable for tive
persons, whatever may be their standing, to
become exclusively attached 10 each other
however popular this may be with sentimental
people generally. Another principle with us IS
that persons shall not be obliged 90 receive,
under any circumstances, the attention of those
whom they do not like. The great aim is TO
teach every one self-control, and this leads to
the greatest happiness In love aud the greatest
good 10 ALL"
Ii is rem lrkable that there should be any
body OF Americans, however small, who can
thus make practical denial OF the Christian
be lief in the sanctity Of marriage. Yet these
people do IL. and husbands take an infinitesim
share in their wives without any apparent
susceptibility TO that feeling which prompts
ordinary men 10 murder the yiOlatOrs Of matri-
mortal sanctity.-Hdlfim0re American

The Long Island Mystery.
sTHE SUICIDE THEORY.


The mystery concerning the alleged murder
OF Charles G. Kelsey, on Long Island, continues
the topic of excitement in Huntingdon and il
still the theme of the New York and neighbor-
hood papers. The Brooklyn Eagle, reviewing
the proceedings of the investigation says: The
encouragement. The great mass of the people
believe that the deceased, after being tarred
and feathered, was murdered. This position is
all the more tenable from the fact which has
been discovered since the recovery of the BODY
that the deceased, beside being tarred and
establishes the murder, as no juryman could be
made - believe that he mutIlated himself az q
then went six miles to drown himself. In ad-
dition to this there is positive evidence that on
the night that the tar and feathering too
place two men were seen to carry a bundle out
clothing was found, and return without it
Fishermen are now engaged in graphing for
the missing portions of the body. SO strong is
the excitement over the matter that there Is
considerable talk of making wholesale arrest
OF the parties known and supposed to have been
Implicated In the tar and feather business, in
the nope that some one of them may turn states
evidence and unravel the horrid mystery, As
the parties are all well to do, and supposed TO
be above the reach Of pecuniary temptation
there is little hope on that score. Unless the
law can be made to reach some of those en-
gagged In the affair and put them in reach of
Sing Sing, there will be but little chance of GET
ting any of them to 'squeal.'"
The New York Herald publishes sundry let
tiers and poetical illusions written by KELSEY TO
miss Smith. Only one of the letters published
shows any improperly Of expires sion, but it is
stated that the letters not published are unfit 10
be seen by even the most depraved. These let
ters and photographs to match sent by Kelsey
to Miss Smith were the cause Of the tarring and
feathering.

THE GOLD BUBBLE BURsT-Great Erciten,en
among the Gold BuHs.-There was considerable
excitement in Broad street to-day, in conse-
quence of the decline in gold. 1t was rumored
that the parties who have been bulling gold for
some time past had thrown up the sponge. The
decline of one per cent. in gold since yesterday
would indicate that the bottom has fallen out of
the gold tub. Early to-day the market began
to exhibit weakness, and dropped down to 14S
The street is wild with rumors relating to the
inability Of the leading bears to meet their on
gagements. Indeed it Is circulated on the street
that nearly every house that has been closely
connected with the leaders in the bull market

Of the bulls have deserted them, and are now

The CHOLERA IN KENTUcKY-A Punie-
StTfcken Pe0ple-From the correspondence of
the Louisville Courier-Journal we obtain the
following information about the new outbreak
OF cholera in Kentucky:
Last Tuesday was to have been the begin
ming OF the annual fair at Paris, and great pre-
parations had been made to have IL ecIipse all
previous ones. Large crowds were already in
the city to attend it, and everything looked
favorable. Some cholera had been reported at
Miliersburg, eight miles from there, but Satur-
DAY night II was reported abating, with no new
cases, and the old ones recovering. On Sunday
night 1t spread with alarming rapidity and by
eight O'Clock there were five deaths and fifteen
new cases. The news spread rapidly, and when
on Monday morning, sixteen deaths were re-
ported, the directors of the fair called meeting
and concluded to postpone it until October IL
The True kentuckian came out with an extra,
giving the names of the dead, and the following
letter from the doctor Of the stricken village:
WILLIAMSBURG, Sept, 1.-Cholera is fearful
here. There are Is dead in town this morning
and several others will be dead directly. It was
never so violent here before. Most of the cases
thus far are negroes. There have been nearly
thirty deaths here since Thursday last This

in the house were those of Caleb williams and
Daniel Atchison. For some time past there
has been I'll feeling, owing 10 Williams
daughter Martha, q very pretty girl, receiy-
ing attention from Mrs. Atchison's husband.
On Saturday evening Mr.. AtchIson was out Of
his room, and Mrs. Atchison armed herself
with an axe and a knife and demanded en-
trance TO the Williams tenement, asserting that
her husband was in company with Miss Will
hams. Admission being refused, she broke in
the door with the axe and was about TO enter.
when Caleb Williams, brother of Martha
rushed up stairs, and, upon seeing Mrs. Atchi-
son, deliberately fired two shots at her from a
