Success In 4dUertistng.

In times past it was thought immodest to
proclaim the excellence Of ones goods. or to
SO olicit patronage for them in new spapers.
During the last twenty-five years through
the immense competition in trade, it has be-
come necessity. The public are always
anxious to learn OF progress, but are equally
desirous to avoid all frauds, as they have
become skeptical of an article possessing
genuine meAt. and are particularly preju..
diced against sterling announcements OF
some new and wonderful medine 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
ful study by our most eminent chemists and
physicians, and embrace such principles and
productions as Quinlne, Chloroform, Chloral
Hydrate, Porous plasters, &c.
Success in advertising depends much upon
the intrinsic worth OF the article itself even
though it be a medical preparation. AS an
evidence OF this, o celebrated physician oi

CONGRESS Yesterday,

In the U. S, Senate, on Wednesday.
Nr, Wright, of Iowa, submitted a
Joint resolution for final adjournment
on the first of May, which was referred
to the Appropriation Committee. The
resolution admitting Pinchback came
up as unfinished business. The amend

Pinchback be not admitted as Sena-

to 90, and the resolution, as amended.
was then agreed to. Five Republican
Senators voted for the amendment

In the House the select committee

made report in the impeachment case
of Belknap, with a resolution, recon-
mitting the matter and authorizing the
Committee to take further testimony.
The Committee also reported and re-
commended the Immediate passage of
bill "to protect witnesses in certain
cases." After long debate, the pre-

WOMEN AS WRITER'S.

The advance of women in literature is
one of the remarkable facts of the age.
Female story writers are now much more
in demand than the other sex, and in
this field of industry, at least, women
have no reason to complain that they are
not as well paid as men. Those who
write for the weekllcs and magazines
receive the same compensation, in pro-
portion to the amount of work done, that
is given to male writers. The Harpers,
Appletons, Scribner, and other large
concerns, make no distinction in this re-
spect, the only point considered being

What the Government Lost on Head
Stones.

ST. LOUIS, March 7.--WEn. Patrick, an
old and honored citizen of st. Louis,
President of the Knoxville (Tenn.) Mar
be Company, says the Government lost
over 100000 in the letting of the con-
tracts for headstones for soldiers graves.
He asserts that the bid of the Knoxville
Company for the stones was over $50, 900
less than that of the man who got the
contract, and that after the contract was
made there were notifications of the
contract which reduced the cost of the
stones to the contractor considerably
over 500 600.
