ardent admirer and supporter of President;

which the transportation to some Afric settle

The learned lawyer gives some opinions for
this suddenly conceived notion. SO long as
they remain hare. the negroes, he thinks, will
be a burden to the country, in national point
Of view, o burden which will grow heavier
every year, since those who have grown up
since emancipation are more worthless than
their slave parents. Mr.. Murray ascribes to
TIE negro a deficiency in energy, foresight econ
omy and mental capacity, and declares him as
being iudolent, and given to theft For these
aud some other reasons. this pbilauthropist
would have the radicals friend and brother

men predict a season whose shriveling-up
character is 20 render Us, before its close en-
urely uurcco gaiabe. even to our own grand
mothers, We. our fears are Quoted by Others
who declare TIA, the great heat oflast season
viii naturally deprive the Dog Days of rs Of
much Of their intensity.
We have, however. three Rules 20 give our
readers, which, if closely followed. will make
their summer existeuce,-be the temperature
high or low,-comparatively pleasant
/ In diet, abstain, as far as possible, from
an meat, and heavy vegetables; eat no hot
breads. but let the daily bill Of fare comprise
only tea coffee, eggs, lettuce, light vegetables,
brcll, etc. \ moderate consuming of ripe
fruits is Of course highly desirable, as they
have a tendency to cool the blood.
Drink very little Of water and liquors
IL is well known that the former only induces
perspiration while the effects of wines, ETC.,
are scarcely pleasant during hot weather.
8. KEuP Cool Take everything quietly,
and allow nothing 10 ruffie the temper.
This last Rule is indeed of primal import
aacc, AID if VIC could fully understand its
meaning, aud entirely master the lesson i;
teaches, the victory, net only over ourselves,
Int over Summers vexatious Dog Days would
be complete. These Rules have not been
gathered from doctors books; they are our
own observations, aud we commend their per-
seyenug allowance to all the readers of the

The Liberal +" Prospect.

Carl Sehurz has again mounted bis Liberal
hobby and expressed a conviction that If a
sufficient number Of these liberals coald be
gathered together and formed into a party
strong enough 20 control the balance Of pow
CT, that it could easily dictate its own presi-
dental candidate to both Radicals and Demo-
Gratis. Truly, q s ,Od idea, V-and that 1T
word II carries with it a big, portentOus mean
iag!-from the political lanes and by-ways,
q requisite number Of these Lbs might be OBJ
tanned. But unfortunately, this is scarcely
possible. Besides Mr. Scburz and q few other
once eminent leaders, there are no more Liecr-
ais to be found. While i, is true that a large
humber Of votes have abandoned the RePub-
icans, It is also equally true that these dis
conse1dsd ones did not stop half-way,-bui
went clean over into the Democratic ranks,
and there they now remain. So the Master
Of the proposed liberal Vineyard will, we fear,
20 out at all hours, even the eleventh, with0I;
knocking against any stray ones 70 whom
lis ready question Ny sons, why stand We
here all the day ijle?" may be addressed.
We also hear That Murat Hals,ead Of the
Cincinnati Commercial bases the success OF
las third party sbceme to the recognized dis
solution Of the republican party, and 20 'he
contemplate suicide Of Democracy. which
given too much rope-Persoui6cd, VIC pre-
sumo, in its recent victories-will proceed 20
hang itself by kicking up such antics and
iuJilaut didces as 10 disgust the people; who
then, bcrsii Of the two regular parties must
look 70 Schurzs and Halstead's liberal COM
bination. But let US not deceive ourselves,
for while Republication is, we arc glad TO
grant, going to the dogs pretty fast, Demo
eracy urspoilt by the tidal waves Of the past
year, is gathering increased soberucss and
good Judgment, with its laurels, aud SO FAR
from disgusting the people, intends, On toe
contrary, to win from them vet further praise
for its common sense in the houF Of victory.

The History of Advertising.

From a large aud comprehensive volume,
bearing the above title, and which traces this
practice even to the public notices found upon
Pompei's walls, we CLEAN o few interesting
facts. The first periodically published English
newspaper was The Heekly Ns'rs. of 1922,
and the FIRST London daily was The CoraHt,
Of 100, copies OF both Of which are very rare.
The London Times began in l7ss, and in 1890
the liberty Of the press was first encroached
upon when John Walters, editor Of The Times,
was imprisoned sixteen months for libelling
the Dukes Of York and Clarence. This paper
still survives in The Thunderer, and its daily
number Of advertisements average between
TWO aud three thousand.

nearly four score years of age, left no room TO
doubt his innocence Of the crime charged
