Success in advertising.

In times past 1t was thought immOdest to
proclaim the excellence OF ones goods. or to
so licit patronage for them in new 9spapefs.
During the last twenty-five years through
the immense competition in trade, 1t has be-
come a necessity. The public are always
ANXIOUS to learn OF progress, but arc equally
dcsirous to avoid all frauds, as they have
genuine merit, and are particularly preju-
diced against sterling announcements OF
some new and wonderful medinc without
character or worth. Still the public are
grateful TO manufacturers or inventors OF ar.
ticles OF merit even IL known as medicines;
many of them are the result OF years of care
fnl study by our most eminent chemists and
physicians, and embrace such principles and
productions as Qulnine, Chlorotorm, Chloral
Hydrate, Porous piasters, &c.
Success in advertising depends much upon
the intrinsic worth of the article it:eif even
though it be a medical preparation. AS an
evidence of this, celebrated physician OF
New York made great Improvement In Ior.

is the strongest that has located about
the national capital-though Heaven
knows the others are strong enough.
1t had its origin just after the close of
the war, when they got contracts to
remove bodies from the battle fields in
the various Southern States the several
national cemeteries. OF all the frauds
in the world this shocking scheme is
one of the most wicked. The contrac-
tors received a certain sum for remov-
ing each body; and to make the job
profitable, they actually cut the body
into pieces, and made several of 1t,
thus increasing their pay. Often,
where a great number were found,
buried in one ditch, they would take
out half dozen bones and nail them
up in box, and get paid for it as one
body.

daily occurrence. A rule was after.
ward made that nothing less than nine.
teen separate bones would be paid for
as a body, but this did not break up
the fraud carried on at the graves OF
orr hero dead. The work OF burying
these bones was another job, by which
many thousands of dollars were rob
bed from the Government. This
finished; then the furnishing of head
stones came, and it is estimated that
the money out of which the Govern
ment was swindled in these transac-
tlons counts up in the millions, And
yet these chiefs of the Cemetery Ring
are allowed to retain their i'll gotten
gains; and if one word is said against
them, the old cry of disloyalty is rails
ed.

WASHINGTON. March 13.-Slowly
but surely the coils of evidence have
been tightening about the official life
of Landaulet Williams, and at least
the proof of what has long been be-
heved OF his official turpitude is believ
ed to be in hand. 1t is stated positively
to night by member of the House,
that possession has been obtained by
one of the investigating committee of
an autograph letter of Williams, which
is of of itself conclusive proof that
while Attorney General he sold him
self and his office, in one instance, for
the sum of $4,000. The committee
feel that this is only the beginning of
disclosures in the Department OF JUS
tice. but it is said that the evidence of
this letter alone is abundantly suffi-
cient ground for an action of impeach-
ment.

Tpecial des patch to the World.
WAsHINGToN, March 13.-There is
now every prospect that the trial of
impeachment of ex-Secretary Belknap
and his presentation by the Grand
Jury of this District will not be un-
reasonably delayed. The return of the
witness Marsh, protected as a witness,
it is believed will be within the next
ten days. The subcommittee of the
House Judiciary Committee, to whom
has been given the charge of collecting
further proof in the impeachment trial
have obtained possession of no less
than eight express money orders for
81 500 each paid by Marsh to Belknap.
These money orders are signed by
Belknap in his own hand writing -
They have also obtained possession of
express receipts given to Marsh in New
York which were sent on to Mr.. Belk|
nap here by him marked go K"on the
back and returned to Marsh. To-day
the committee examined the express
man who has charge of the money
orders here.
The investigation by the Military
COMMITTEE OF the House into the alle-
cations of great fraud against Belk-
nap in awarding the contract for head
stones for national cemeteries, does not
so far prove any great irregularity.-
One T. J. Bridges, of Keokuk, Ia,
Belknap's home, whose name has been
mentioned as having shared with Belk-
nap in one of these contracts, testifies
to fiat denial of the story.
To morrow Geo. II. Pendleton will
give his evidence about Belknap's pay
ment of the Kentucky Central Rail
roads claim.
Mrs. Belknap may possibly appear
and testify.
Judge Advocate General Dunn, who
advised Belknap to reopen the rejected
claim, has also been summoned.

looked at Johns old garments worn;
thought of all that he had borne
Ot poverty. and wsrk, and care,
Which though willing could not share
Thought of seven young mouths to feed,
Of seven little children's need,
And then of this.
"Come. john" said l,
"We'll choose among them as they lie
Asleep" So, walking hand in hand,
Dear John and surveyed our band;
First to the cradle lightly stepped
Where Lillian the, baby slept,
Softly the father stopped to lay
HIS rough hand down In loving way,
And hnskily he said: mot her"
We stopped beside the trundle bed,
And one long ray of lampiight shed
Athwart the boyish faces there,
In sleep SO beautiful an fair,
saw on James' rough red cheek
A tear undried. Ere John could speak
"He's but baby, too. SAID l,
And kissed him as we hurried Ly.
Pale: patient Robbie's angel face
Still in his sleep bore sufrering's trace,
"NO, for thousand crowns not him"
He wisIered while our eyes were dim.
Poor Dick bad Dick our wayward s3n-
Turbulent, restless, idle one
Could he be spared? Nay, He who gave
Bade us befriend him to the grave;
Only mothers heart could be
Patient enough for such as he;
"And So" said John 81 would not dare
To take him rom her bedside prayer"
Then stole we softly up above.
And knelt by Mary child of love.
'Perhaps for her 'twould better be-"
sad to John. Quite silently
He lifted up a curl that lay
Across her cheek in a wiliul way,
And shook his head: "Nay love not thee, ;
The while my heart beat audibly.
Only one more our eldest lad;
Trusty and truthful, good and glad,
SO like his father. mo, Jshn no!
Icannot. will not. let him go:"
And so We wrote in q courteous way,
We could not give one child away,
And afterward toll lighter seemed.
Thinking of that of which we dreamed,
Happy in truth that not one face
Was missed from Its accustomed place;
Thankful to work for all the seven,
Trusting the rest to One in heaven.
