The Force Of Example.

The fiendish act of cruelty perpetrated
by a party of boys in Wentzville, Mo-,
upon one of their schoolmates, whom
they murdered by fastening him on a
railroad track where he was run over by
train of cars, is less surprising, the
Sun says, than it would be if it had oc-
Cured in State where acts of mob
violence are less frequent. The victim
of this internal cruelty, it seems, was
a stranger, fact which may have been
sufficient to account for the aversion
which his schoolfellows entertained to-
ward him. The boy murderers knew
that in the State where they lived per
sons accused of crime, or who in other
ways have become obnoxious to the citi-
zens, were often visited with summary
execution at the hands of lawless mobs,
and that the authorities had usually
failed to punish such outrages. 1t is
hardly to be wondered at that in com
munities where the fathers sanction mob
law the children should initiate them.

A Beautiful Woman.

The perceptive faculty of women is
usually keener than the same phreno-
logical organ in men. Woman knows
that beauty rather than genius is
worshiped by the sternel sex. A man
may talk with his lips of the latter to
his lady-love, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the
former in his heart. All women have an
innate desire to please their beaur. They
are fond of admiration, hence one of
their longings is to be beautiful. The
grand secret of female beauty is health
the secret of health is the power to
eat, digest and assimilato a proper
quantity of wholesome food. Take

How they Lived in POmpeli.

Charles Warren Stoddart, writing to
the San Francisco Chronicle, says, in
describing visit to the ruins of Pom
pei; I cannot understand how people
who arc supposed to have beenluxurious
in their tastes ever lived in such ridicu-
lousy small houses as are those of Pom
pei. The bedrooms are like staterooms,
and the stone beds, like berths, fill the
longest side of the apartment. There
are no garden spots; even the baths, the
browning luxury of the time, are small.
The Forum and some few of the temples
are of more respectable dimensions, but
the resorts of 1000 people could hardly
be less. The private life of the Pom
peiians must have been narrow, meagre
and unhealthy. The gardens without the
city probably afforded their only means
of recreation, and l wonder how any one
who has once breathed pure air can have
returned to sleep in such miserable quar-
ters as the Pompeiian bedrooms.
Single partitions between all the houses,
no gardens, no open courts save in the
mansions Of the wealthy, and the glare
of the Southern sun streaming on walls
glowing with red and yellow paint such
was Pompeii in its best days. No doubt
it was brilliant and lively spectacle,
and Bulwer has made the most of it.
1t seems to me the correct thing to LOAF
about the place with copy of Bulwer's
I" Last Days in my pocket. This did
at latter date. I frightened the lizards
in the Forum and chased butterflies in
the Temple of Isis, and languished il
the house of the wounded Adonis, for il
was awfully hot. [ sat the sole specta
tor in the well-preserved amphitheater
and walked in the Street of the Tombs
The "House of the Tragic Poet" re
ceived me, and I explored for mysel
some dark passages that led under Ger
tain houses, where l met with an odor O
sulphur that was almost overpowering.

The Merchant and The Press.

Whoever would attract more than his
share of patronage in business must
make greater efforts than his competi-
tors in some form or other. II his store
is in great public thoroughfare, that
viii be very effective; if he has been
long established, and has acquired the
good will of many customers, that fact
will also be of some value and if to
these is added an attractive stock of
goods, and he employs intelligent and
experienced statesmen, then he has COM
piled with the conditions in business
that usually insure success.
Newspaper advertising offers such IA
cilities for addressing all classes from
which customers would be likely to be
attracted, that it is now recognized by
business men having faith in their own
wares as the best of all possible sales
men-one who never sleeps and is never
weary-who goes after business early
and late-who accosts the merchant in
his shop, the lawyer in his Office, the
student in his study, the cultivated wo-
man at the family fireside-who can be
in thousand places at once, and speak
to a million people each day, saying to
each one the best thing in the best man
ner.
Newspaper advertising secures bust
ness connection on the most permanent
and Independent basis; and is, in GER
tain sense, a guarantee to the customer
of fair and moderate prices. Experience
has shown that the dealer whose wares
have obtained public celebrity is not
only enabled to sell, but is forced to sell,
at reasonable rates, and to furnish a
good article.
Newspaper advertising may be com
pared to a vigilant and watchful sales
man, who not only invites business re-
lations, but goes after the public, into
its private walks and ways, and compels
it to be attentive in spite of itself, and
its effectiveness must depend largely on
the skill employed in presenting the
merits of any article to the public eye
so as to produce the best results.

Failures in 1874.

The commercial agency report for 1874
says that SO much was economy kept in
view that probably not less than four
hundred millions of dollars may be put
down as economical during the year.
Take, then, the reductions in values, the
reduction of Indebtedness, the amount
economical, and add to these considera-
tions the fact of good crops for the year,
and the conclusion is inevitable-the
country throughout is in solid condi-
ton. In view of this, it cannot be wrong
to anticipate a general improvement in
business for 1875.
The failures in 1874 will aggregate
about the same number as those of 1873;
but in this will be included many which
more legitimately belong to 1878, being
houses which were weakened during the
panic of the fall of that year. The num-
Der of these would reduce the aggregate
of 1874 below that of 1878, while the
amount would be less, and the actual
IOSs leSS Stlll, CIe per cenIum pald by

average.
There is one provision of the bankrupt
act of which creditors have been slow tc
avail themselves, and yet its iudicious
use must enure to their benefit. We
refer to that which enables creditors
under certain restrictions, to take an es
tate out of the court and place it in the
hands of trustees chosen by themselves
A settlement thus effected would entail
less loss than one made by court officials
having no interest aside from bills ant
costs. Frauds are still numerous, bu
not more SO than usual.

Singular Statistics.

A while ago man swallowed fork in
Paris. The incident has inspired one
DIR. Mignon with the idea of collecting
records of similar cases, and also of MAX
ing out catalogue of the articles swal-
lowed by lunatics or idiots, Or people
who may well be regarded as such. One
hundred and sixty-three cases are on re-
cord of individuals who have swallowed
such very indigestible and uncomfort-
able articles as scissors, pins, gold
medals, shoe buckles, dominoes, knives,
pipes, glass walls, whetstones, etc. 1t is
remarkable that of these one hundred
and sixty-three individuals only ten died
from thus indulging their appetites.

East River Bridge.

The new Mayor of New York city,
in his first message says of the Brook
Ign and New York bridge [ am of
opinion that the work upon the bridge
across the East river to Brooklyn should
be continued. This L do not consider
an open question. If it were so, the
erection of bridge upon the present
site would not receive my approval. The
project, however, has now so far adj
vanced that it should, without any I'M
necessary delay, be prosecuted to COM
pletion. The tower on the Brooklyn
side is substantially finished. On the
New York side the tower has been car
ried few feet above the springing of
the arches and can be completed during
the coming working season. The Brook
lyn anchorage is within twenty feet of
completion, and will require about three
months work to finish it. The castings
required to support the cables of both
towers are made. A consolidation of the
cities Of New York and Brooklyn into
one municipality is but question of
time. When this bridge is completed
that union may become fact.

A Drop of JOY in Every Word.

June 06 1874


DR.. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y: Dear Sir
1t is with happy heart that l pen these
lines to acknowledge that you and your Golden
Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are
blessings to the world These medicines can
not be too highly praised for they have almost
brought me out of the grave. Three months
ago l was broken out with large ulcers and
sores on my body, limbs and face procured
your Golden Medical Discovery and PCrgative
Pellets, and have taken six bottles, and to-day
l am in good health, all those ugly ulcers hay
ing healed and left my skin in natural,
healthy condition. I thought at one time
could not be cured. Although l can but poorly
EXPIRE my gratitude to you, yet there is drop
of joy in every word | write. Gods blessing
rest on you and your wonderful medicnesis the
humble prayer of Yours truly
JAMES O. BELLS.
When medicine will promptly cure such ter
rible eating ulcers and free the blood of the
vrulent poison causing them, who can longer
doubt its wonderful virtues DR.. Pierce, how
ever does not wish to place his Golden Medical
Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent nos
trums by recommending it to cure every dis
ease, nor does he so recommend it but what
he does claim is this, that there is but one form
of blood disease that it will not cure and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommend his
Discovery for that disease yet he knows it to
be the most searching blood cleanser yet dis
covered, and that it will free the blood and sys-
tenn of all other known blood poisons, be they
animal vegetable Or mineral. The Golden Dis
covery is lcd,Tdnted by him to cure the worst
forms of skin diseases, as all forms of blotches,
pimples and eruptions, also all glandular swell
ings, and the worst form of scrofulous and ul-
cerated sores of neck, legs, or other parts, and
all scrofulous diseases of the bones as white
swellings, fever sores, hip, joint and spinal dis
eases, all of which belong to scrofulous dis
eases.-COm.
