French Advertisements.

Whether English manners are be-
coming Americanized to perceptible
extent may be an open question but
there can scarcely he doubt that the
French are taking lessons from the
smartest of advertising nations. Pa
risians once had a sense of the ridicu-
lous which would have prevented the
publication of such a marvellous an.
nouncement as that in which a lady,
DESTROYS of employment, rehcarses the
list of her qualifications ''Madame
Lefeavre, sick nurse, RESULTS chairs,
watches corpses, applies leeches, does
sewing by machinery, is an excellent
cook, having been ten years in the SER
vice of M. lie Baron de H.
Whether one OF all Of these various
accomplishments were displayed in
the service of Baron NJ is not stat
ed. Scarcely less strange in British
eyes will appear the advertisements of
two cOach-builders in Paris newspa-
per. These excellent tradesman have
apparently thought it quite natural to
announce the circumstance that they
have carriages for sale under the head
of ''Sport." 1t must be confessed, in
justification of this view, that drive
in French cab too often contains one
element of true sport, in the shape of
spice of danger. Marriage ADVERTISE
ments, too, continue to be as frequent
as ever on the other side of the Chan
mel, dowries of ''f34, 900" ($l7O,OOO)
being apparently unable to find accept.
ors. Indeed, the regularly established
matt imonial agencies, of which there
are five in Paris, all genuine, affirm
that the market is overstocked at the
present moment. AS a French girl
can hardly hope to marry without hay
ing portion ready for her husband,
the statement is singular enough.
One would have thought that the fact
had only to be known to attract a con-
siderable number of immigrants of
the ster2er sex. Irish gentlemen,
who are returning every week from
the United States in bitter disappoint-
ment might do worse than think of a
land where so many of their kinsmen
have won fame or wealth, from Sars-
! field to MacN1ahon.

Tweed's Partner, Woodland.

A New York gentleman stopping at
the Palmer House, in Chicago, saw a familiar
face there under disguise, and Immediately
informed the police. The owner of the
familiar face was taken into custody, and
proved to be E. w. Woodland, formerly a
partner OF Boss Tweed, and for whom bonus
had been offered by New York. His capture
was Immediately announced in New York and
and excited there scarcely less comment
than did the capture OF the Boss in Spain.
Requisition papers were at once made out and
the criminal is ere this in safe (0 quarters in
the city of his nativity.

st. Louis Times.
If the authorities of Mortified have
succeeded in killing or capturing the North
field bank-robbers, they have done well and
ought to be satisfied. 1t is certainly out Of
place, however, for the governor of Mime
sofa to expect the governor OF Missouri to de-
tail a special commissioner at the expense of
the State, to ascertain whether the captives
or corpses, as the case may be, belong to the
James-Younger family. 1t is not matter of
sufficient public interest to warrant the
action that the Minnesota governor requests,
and Governor Hardin does perfectly right in
declining thus to go outside of his magister-
'al province, for the sake OF gratifying mere
spirit of public curiosity. The criminals,
whoever they are, are beyond his jurisdic-
ton and likely to remain SO, il the Minnesota
ecurts have evidence enough to convict the

Horrible and Mysterious Murder.


4 horrible and mysterious murder
was committed in the east part of Shrewsbu-
ry, a farming town six miles from Worcester,
Mass, on the Ind inst. The victim was John
Billiard, a man about as years of age. He,
with his brother, lived in a house alone, car
rying on farm. About seven o'clock John
was lett alone in the house, the brother going
to store about mile distant He was gone
about one hour, and upon returning horri-
ole scene was presented. John was lying on
the floor, hi, body covered with blood, his
head nearly severed from the body, and long,
deep cuts about the head and face. The body
was also badly cut, and blood still flowing
from the numerous wounds. Lying by the
side of the body was large Ratchet with
which the terrible deed was committed. The
object is supposed to have been money. Las
week the man sold a COW for $50, and on the
fatal day received the amount for the sale of
some calves. This money is missing, and
was undoubtedly taken by the murderer.

The Cuban Insurgents Looking up.

A1OV1AA&49 q
The latest news from Havana
states that the Sinsurgent General Vicente
Garcia, before evacuating Lastumas, burned
the whole place, escorting the inhabitants
sick and wounded to some distance. The
garrison were taken along as prisoners, ex-
cepting the commander. General Toledo and
his officers, who were liberated. The latter
step is very suspicious, and the public is
clamoring for investigation into the behavior
of the officers. Matters have come. to look
serious. The insurgents have lately shown
much vigor and determination, appearing
suddenly where least expected. Rumors not
without foundation speak of heavy assertions
among the Spanish troops, which are exposed
to privations and misery, whilst greatmany
officers who walk the streets of Havana ap-
pear to be living we'll. 1t is said the govern
ment intends not to harrass the troops any
longer, but to garrison all the places and use
the soldiers to arrive from Spain to protect
all estates

Another Tragedy as q Result of the Northtielt
Raid.


Raid.
Frank Glazier, one of the guards
over the captured Mortified robbers, in Jail
at Faribault, Mimi, instantly killed a police
man, on the night of the I'd inst. Glazier was
near the pump east OF the Jail, and turned
and saw q man just stepping from the side
walk into the yard. He ordered him to halt
but he did not and kept approaching Glazier,
who stepped back a few PAGES and called out,
"Who are your? The man continued to ap-
proach, saying: "Don't you know am a po-
liceman?' He was ordered to halt again,
stopped and then continued approaching.
The man then put his hand to his breast, as
if drawing revolver or knife. He was in
the shade of the Jail. Glazier stepped back a
few steps, and the man stepped forward
Then the guard fired and the man tell dead.
He was taken up and carried into the sherif's
office, and from thence to the court house.
He was shot directly through the left breast
AT the inquest the jury rendered verdict
that deceased came to his death from a gun
sho] wound, from the hands of Frank Glazier.

Situation of Affairs in Turkey.
Advices from Servian sources say
that the Servian forces under Generals Tcher-
nayef and Papovict simultaneously attacked
the Turks and drove them beyond Tuschitza.
during the engagement the servian artillery
fired seven caissons OF gunpowder in Turk
ish ammunition depot. The explosion
caused fearful havoc among the Turks. On
the other side it is reported that the battle
was glorious victory tor the Turks. The
Turkish army was all day under fire from the
whole line of Servian redoubts and batteries,
which stretch in a semi-circle tor twenty
miles, and have hundred guns mounted.
In the afternoon the Turks assumed the Of
fensive, and defeated the Servians, inflicting
enormous losses. A Paris dispatch says no
tics cabinet. Peace negotiations are actively
progressing. Servia's conduct is believed to
proceed merely from desire to influence
mediation favorable to herself.

In the forty years that the Mer-
chants Gargling Oil has been before
the public, thousands of patent medi-
cines have been ushered into the mar
ket and retired, while this old remedy
has held on it's way, increasing in pop
ularity with each succeeding year.
Merchants Gargling Oil is known IA
miliarly the whole length and breadth
of the land, and the name Of the Sec
rotary, Mr.. John Hodge, of Lockport,
has fame as wide as the midicine he
dispenses. We have no data as to the
number of bottles sent out from the
mandatory last year, but the quanti-
ty must have been enormous. The
company distribute two millions of al
manacs and domestic recipe books an
nually, and when it is remembered
that these are given away, some idea
of tho extent OF the advertising enter
prise may be formed. A medicine that
will stand the test of forty years, as
the Merchants Gargling Oil has done,
needs no special endorsement at this
late day.-BuffalO Courier.
