THE BEST MEDIUM.

In every locality the local newspaper is taken by
the hest people. The newspaper Is the only adver
tising medium that is bought and paid for by the
persons whose attention the advertiser desires {"
attract. Every man thinks more of the paper for
which he pays than of gratuitous sheet or circular
which is thrust in at his door. An advertisement
in his own paper attracts his attention and secures
his confidence without any Otfcious solicitation al
most without his knowing it. The strung reason
why the newspaper is the hest ivertising medium
is because it is paid for by the recipient. The sub
scriher pays the cost of manufacture and distrihu
ti"n, the publisher therefore give publicity &"
an advertisement ut a lower price per hundred ct
per thousand than could he afforded under other
circumstances. No other medium has
peted successfully with the newspaper IA general
advertising medium.
There five hundred copies of the CAFE
DOMAIN taken every week in ST. JohnshGry alone :;
and No other medium compares with il for reaching
the families in this town.

The United States .irmy unM Nary .your-
nal announces the adoption into the
American service Of the tclemetcr-nn
invention Of n we'll known Belgian Of
ticer, Captain DE Boulenge, for mcasur-
ing distance by the velocity of sound.
The principle on which the tolemetcr l.;
constructed, has long been known and
applied. The advantage offered by tho
new instrument, is the exacttude of it's
measurements, which, according to the
American paper, would in the hands of a
trained observer be perfect As it is, the
tclemeter is said to be sufficiently correct
In the hands of most officers, after n little
practice. to give the exact range of an
enemy the moment the flash and report
of his guns are seen and heard. .'The
use Of the telemeter," snys the Arny and
Macy Journal, sin the hands of every Of
fcer in long line will tend to encourage
coolness. It will then become nm object
to reserve your own fire and provoke
that OF the enemy at long rangea, so as
TO get the advantage of knowing his dis.
tance and conoealing your own. Once
his range il ascertained, and the sights
properly elevated, brisk fire opened
along the whole line will prevent the
enemy from using his own telemeters to
any useful purpose, from the confusion
OF flashes and reports becoming lost in
one another"

GOLDEN WORDS FROM THE GREAT SHOW
MAN.-Mr. P. T. Barnum, the Snowman,
was innugurated as Mayor of Bridgeport.
Conn.,, on the 18th instant, and deli
vered o short address. Concluding. he
said:
ut is painful to the Industrious and
moral portions of our people to see 80
many loungers about the streets, and
such multitude whose highest aspirn-
tions seem to be to waste their time in
idlcness or at base ball, billiards, &c.
No person needs to be unemployed who
Is not over-fastidious about the kind Of
occupation; There are too many soft
hands (and heads) waiting for light work
and heavy pay. Better work for half a
loaf than beg or steal whole one. No.
ther earth Is always near by and ready to
respond to reasonable drafts on her
never-talllng treasury. A pntch of pota-
toes raised 'on shares is preferable to a
poulticed pate earnod in whiskey scrim-
mage. Some modern Micawbers stand
with folded hands waiting for the panic to
pass, ns the foolish man waited for the
river to rTn dry and allow him to walk
over. The soil is the foundation of Ame-
rlcan prosperity. When multitudes of
our consumers become producers; when
fashion teaches economy, instead of ex-
penang Tor a gaudy dress what would
comfortably clothe the family; when peo-
pie learn to walk until they can afford to
ride; when the poor man ceases to ex-
pend more for tobacco than for bread
when those who complain of panic learn
that we cannot eat our cake and keep
IT.; that a sieve will not hold water; that
we must rely on our own exertions, and
earn before we expend, then will panics
cease and prosperity return. While we
should by no means unreasonably re-
