How to Do Advertising.

Advertising, says an exchange, dis
creetly used, is enc of the very best
means of obtaining business. Indeed,
there are cnly two others which are le-
gitimate-the establishment of a good
reputation and the forming of good
connection. But advertising may be 80
badly managed as to be a mere source of
expense without any return; and one of
the ways in which it may become so is
the making it obtrusive. If man has
big show, to which he wishes to attract
the miscellaneous riff-raff of the streets,
it may be well for him to thrust it upon
their attention in as " stunning man.
ner as possible; but the merchant, the
respectable tradesman, the honest
manufacturer, the professional man of
good repute-in short, those who form
the great mass of the business world
will not win a well-grounded, enduring
success by any such means. For when
probable purchasers, decent, respectable
folk with money, wish for anything, and
do not know exactly where to go for it,
they look into the advertising columns
of some respectable newspaper, and
there, under it's proper head, they find
what they want-that is, if the dealer
has been wise enough to advertise in
discreet and profitable way, instead of
wasting his substance upon sort of an
nouncement which, at best, is useless,
and which, with the better class of buy
ers, might cast suspicion upon him.
Newspapers have become the accredited
and well-established medium of all kinds
of announcements to the public. 1t
could not well be otherwise, considering
the place which the newspaper holds in
modern civilization. Advertisements in
newspapers have, therefore, propriety,
sort of legitimacy, and weight which
pertain to advertisements in no other
form. A discreetly worded advertise
ment in respectable paper is in itself
sort of promise of discretion and respec-
liability on the part of the advertiser.
Irregular and fanciful advertisements, on
the contrary, are likely to do something
at least to cast suspicion, in these very
particulars, upon the person who makes
use of them. There is no way of forcing
people to buy; hardly any of forcing the
attention of those who wish to buy.
What can be done is to give information
to intending purchasers where their
wants can be supplied, and that is effec-
lively done only in the columns of news
papers.

Giant Powder.

The use of giant powder in blowing
up the ice on the river in this city, says
the Rochester EgpresS, has attracted
considerable attention to this danger
ously powerful explosive, as many are
anxious to know about its composition
and qualities.
Its proper name is dynamite, but it is
better known in this country as giant
powder. No. l contains seventy-fve
per cent. of nitro-glycerine, twenty-four
per cent. of infusorial earth. No. 2 has
much less of nitro-glycerine. and the de-
fciency is supplied by nitre, saltpeter
and rosin. 1t looks like dirty corn meal,
and gives no sign to the eye of the re-
sistless power it contains. 1t does not
explode like gunpowder, but the entire
mass, however large, bursts at once, as
if each recoil of each grain took place
the same instant 1t skaters the hardest
rock as if it were the most fragile of
things, and rends wrought iron and
steel as if they were rags. The hghtest
charge of it in the heaviest rife or
ordnance, tears the gun into thousand
pieces. 1t is as good in water as out.
The only practicable means of exploding
it is by large and powerful percussion
cap. Strange to say, fire and heat will
not explode it ; it can be poured ON
red hot plate, or a red hot poker can be
thrust into it and it will not explode;
or it can be thrown from any height up
on rocks until the boxes are broken, and
it will not explode.
The secret of its safety lies in the fact
that the absorbent is soft, compressible
and elastic, whereby the powder becomes
q cushion on which all blows are de
Tended. Hence the greater the quality,
the greater the safety. ..

Admiral Porter on Potatoes.

Touching the "larder business III
Washington, a friend of mine tells
good story on Admiral Porter. The adj
miral, like Daniel Webster, does his
own marketing, and prides himself
good deal on being a Judge of the best
cuts of the finest fish, and of the choic-
est game. One day, my friend and the
admiral, both of whom are fond of good
dinners, met in the market house. The
admiral was purchasing some excellent
potatoes, but my friend was surprised
to notice that he only ordered a half
peck. "Why don't you buy your po-
tatoes by the bushel?" said my friend.
The naval hero regarded him for mo-
ment with mingled look of surprise
and pity, and then, with n knowing
twinkle in his eye, which had the ex-
preston of one who has bought his ex-
perience and paid for it, he said " Do
You think I'm fool hope you don't
buy yours that way. Why, sir, if lwere
to order home three bushels, we wouldn't t
have any for to-morrow's dinner"

A Spelling Match.

At spelling match in Pulaski, Tenn,
the word "sachel" was given out. 1t
was spelled by Gen. Taliaferro without
"t," as Webster favors. Whereupon,
according to the Pulaski Citizen, " "the
audience laid down and rolled over and
laughed and bleated and roared and
squealed and Uttered and hunched each
other, and at last subsidized so that the
pedagogue could be heard. He blandly
informed the audience that Mr.. Taliaferro
had spelled the word correctly. Then
they commenced to look blank at each
other, and look green and foolish and
had the dry grins and you could have
heard pin drop"

Death from a Pimple.

In Bennington, VT, short time ago
a man named Charles Wright, cutter,
discovered a small pimple on his lip,
which he supposed to be cold sore. 1t
grew rapidly and became more painful.
On Monday he supposed it was boil,
and left work little earlier than usual
in the afternoon. On Tuesday morning
he went to his work, but had not been
in the shop but short time when he
tainted. He went to bed and never rose
again. The doctors say his disease was
erysipelas, which caused congestion of
the brain. His head is swelled to q
monstrous size. He had never been
seriously sick before. Mr.. Wright was
twenty-five years of age.

An Original Fish Story.

The Cooperstown On. W Freeman'S
Journal says: AS the chairman of the
fish committee has just putin an appear
ance at Cooperstown, we call his attention
to curious mode of fsh-hatching said
to be followed in China. Having col
lected the necessary spawn from the
waters edge, the fisherman places a
certain quantity in an empty hens egg,
which is sealed up with wax and put
under the sitting hen. After some days
they break the egg, and empty the fry
into water well warmed by the sun, and
there nurse them until they are sufi-
oiently strong to be turned into lake
Or river.

The Three Callers.

Morn calleth fondly to a fair boy straying
Mid golden meadows rich with clover dew;
She calls-but he still thinks of naught save
playing;
And so she smiles-and waves him an adieu !
Whilst he, still merry with his flowery store,
Deems not that morn, sweet morn, returns no
more.
Noon cometh-but the boy, to manhood grow
ing,
Heeds not the time-he sees but one sweet
form,
One young, fair face, from bower of jasmine
glowing
And all his loving heart with bliss is warm
So noon unnoticed, seeks the western shore,
And man forgets that noon returns no more.
Night tappeth gently at easement cleaning
With the thin freight, flick ring faint and
low;
By which gray-haired man is sadly dreaming
Ger pleasures gone---as all life's pleasures
goi
Night calls him to her---and he leaves his door,
Silent and dark---and he returns no moro.

cents for services rendered on that occa-
sion. The bill was paid.

The Grafton of DR.. Hoge at the unwilling
OF the Jackson statue, temperate, and pru.
dent, and torbearins as it was In tone and
spirit, has been made the occasion OF harsh
Criticism by the Radical press. It does seem
that the more prudent and long suffering we
remain the harsher and more vindictiYe our
gentle brethren of the North become-indig-
nant most when we give them no occasion OF
offence. It Is useless to attempt to placate
these irreconcilable foes of the South, and
for one we are tired Of attempting 1t.
2 Editors that praise Jackson in one sentence
aad denounce him as traitor in the next
are not made of such stuff as generous foes.
They have their opinions, as we have ours,
and each must " gang his ain gaint." We
can never have centennial celebration of
liberty, however, that will be anything more
than mockery as long as the leading
papers of the North use such approbrious
epithets as .traitor," &C., in connection with
names as sanity as those Of Lee and jack
