COST OF ADVERTIsING.-In this
as in aught else. the best papers will
command the best prices. 1t is
cheaper to pay five Shillings for in
serting your advertisement in a
journal having a circulation of five
thousand than to pay two shillings
for one that has only a circulation
of one thousand. or this you may
be sure, that any journal that in
serts advertisements too cheap is
in fact an almost worthless medi-
UNI. If it were really a good one
it would have no need to lower lie
prices, for the sheet would be bet
ter filled without the sacrifice. You
may lay it down as rule that ev-
cry journal knows its value, and
That if it adopts low prices it is be-
cause it is conscious that it has a
low circulation in number or re-
spectability.-W Wilson'S Handbook

Attachment of the Wages of Railroad
Employees

By a recent act passed by the
Legislature of Maryland at the
late session, it was enacted,
"That the wages or hire of any
person or persons not residing in
the State of Maryland, shall be
subject to attachment upon judg-
ment warrant, as other legal pro-
cess to no larger extent than the
wages or hire of any person or per-
sons residing in this State. The
wages or hire of persons residing
i'm the State of Maryland, to
the amount of one hundred dollars
shall be exempt from attachment
or other legal process for debt"
Our merchants who have hereto
fore been in the habit of trusting
the employees Of the railroad COM
pany with the expectation of trans
ferring the claims to the State of
Maryland and attaching the wages
of the men, will do wei to take
notice of this wise provision, and
act with caution hereafter in max
ing sales to these men beyond their
ability to pay the ready cash.

The recent troubles between the
Baltimore & Ohio and the Penn
sylvania Railroads have been am
icably adjusted. The travelling
public will not be glad to learn that
he adjustment of the difficulties
between these two great corpora
tons carries with it a restoration of
the former passenger and freight
rates between all points with which
the rival companies compete for
business. The Baltimore SIN says
the overtures for a /. settlement of
the difficulty come from the Penn
sylvania road, and peace was de-
clared on terms dictated by the B.
& O. r.. II. company. The new
arrangement goes into effect to-
day.

"recent article on Capital removal
awakened the.natives Of the First

because on that question the ma
tives of the First and Second Dis

been "wide awake" We rather
think the editor OF the Journal had
beer some what aroused, when he
wrote the article referred to, by the
movements of the people Of the
First and Second Districts on the
question of Capital removal, and
like the timid boy passing grave
yard, is only whistling to keep his
courage up.

The Cumberland Ne,rs is of the
opinion that the world does not
move much in some parts of West
Virginia. The Neacs is right, but
we are happy to inform it and the
rest of mankind that the few old
fogy Bourbons who still have
a habitatiJn in the State are
perfectly powerless to clog the
wheels of enlightened progress Ia
our young and growing Common
wealth. Their impotent efforts re-
mind us of the fable of fly on a
cart wheel. Martinsburg pays no
attention to the vermin and con-
times to improve. - Wdrtinsburg

We know that few good, live
newspapers like the INDEPEN-
DENT, which resembles the bust
ness end of a hornet in the quick
ness, sharpness and keenness OF its
strokes, will go a great way to-
ward routing the Bourbons out of
West Virginia, and we wish sue
cess to the work Cumberland

Thank you SIR. We mean bust
ness all the time, and we promise
you shall not be disappointed in
the result.

We ve noticed, in our ram
bies, Tat many of the houses
along lie yari, us streets of our
town are handsomely decorated
with flowers, and present a very
attractive appearance. Many of
the windows resemble miniature
conservai cries, from the profuse dis
play OF choice and fragrant exot-
les within. Our Martinsburg
ladies are noted for their great
fondness for beautiful plants and
flowers, and display excellent taste
in theirst lection and arrangement.
In our humble judgement there is
nothing that cBn make home
more cheerful and attractive than
profusion Of beautiful plants,
and this luxury il free to every
body the poor and rich ali Ike.
We have prognosticated. We
have consulted the weather wise
and the otherwise folks on the
probability of the speedy arrival
of Mr. Woodsides and the pay car.
The conclusion arrived at is that
on next Monday evening the Goth
inst, the employees Of the b. & O.
Railroad at this place will receive
their money. We understand the
pay roll for Martinsburg this
month is larger than ever it has
been, and amounts to near $50, 900.
