STANDING ADVERTISEMENTS.

We venture to assert that if great
black globe were raised on high pole
and located on any well travelled road in
the country, every person who passed
that way would remember the same for
ever afterwards. A standing advertise
ment in u newspaper. set boldly out,
attracts similar attention and becomes
transtixed in the memory of every rea-
der. 1t may not be noticed at first,
but after little while the lines grow
familiar to the eye and become stamped
on the mind. An exch..- cry truth
fully says that the advantage OF such an
advertisement is made apparent in this
way: The subscriber, in the course of
time, wants something in the line of
goods kept by the man whose standing
advertisement he is so familiar with.
He naturally visits the advertisers
store and buys what he wants, for though
he may never have been in
side the place before, he feels
Thoroughly acquainted with everything
about it, and this removes the embarrass-
ment which no one likes to show when
on a shopping tour. A good advertise
ment kept continually in the paper is
like tinger-board at a crossroads, it re-
moves all difficulty in finding the right
place. We have merchants who are
scarcely known in this community;
much less do the public know of the
merchandise they keep for sale, just
because they don't advertise; and yet
these are the first to growl about hard

A NEW FLYING MACHINE.
From the Evening Post.

EIOHt Tic rust
At the regular meeting of the Acad-
emy of Sciences, held in San Francisco
last week, Mr.. w. e. Crooker, c. f. de-
livered a lecture on "Aerial Naviga-
ton" He has devised an apparatus
which will be practically tested in about
a fortnight which he says. will enable
a man to fly from San Francisco to New
York in day. He described the ap-
paratus, which will be exhibited ut the
Mechanics Fair at San Francisco, us
follows, illustrating his remarks by 4
model: 1.-The shape of the body OF the
carriage is a combination and moditi-
cation Of fish, fowl and irigate. Its
length will be sixty feet width of aero
plane, 80 feet; and width of car. ) or G
feet. (These are about the dimensions.
There is series of four wings, of
feet surface. The guiding is done by a
tail oblique motion is secured by a rud-
der, and direct motion by propelers for
managing the accumulated air in the
chambers under the car. There, are a
series of wheels for getting the start, us
it is impossible to rise vertically. The
preparatory distance to be run on the
ground before taking to the air is esti-
mated at 600 feet.'

PI0NIOING.

The girls of Watertown, N. Y, says
the Democrat of that place, got up hen
picnic last week, and had a glorious
time of it altogether. They had lots of
tea and sugar and milk (Which all got
sour). but no matches, and plenty of
pickles, sponge-cake, and butter, but no
bread. Add to this that each OF the
girls got her mother to let her bring a
roast turkey, so as to astonish the rest
of the girls and show that she could do
things in style, and that they had no
knives and forks, and, though lots of
plates, no drinking utensils, it is not
difficult TO see that their commissariat
was well organized and source of
much harmony, pleasure, and satisfac-
ton to all concerned in its preparation.
After several lifelong quarrels and such
comments as 81 don't care !" YOU'RE
just rs mean as dlrt!" sWell, it wasn't
my fault, anyway !" they made frugal
repast OF dismcmbered turkey, cold
water, pickles, and sponge-cake, and
then decided to amuse themselves as
best they could for the remainder of the
day. One girl undertook to fish, and
having put on her gloves. introduced a
hook to her worm, but the fierce animal
gave a squirm, and with a terrific yell
she dropped the wild beast right down
the back of friend and young COM
panion dear who was sitting beneath.
The +. and y. C. d. went into active hys-
terics, and the author of the tragedy i'm
paled her thumb on the fsh-hook, and
tainted at the sight of blood. After this
one of the girls stepped into swamp
about half way up to her ears, and an
other got beetle into her ear, and a
third unearthed horrld snake seven
inches long. and while devoted men,
Der of the excursion was STOPPING down

to find out what was good for sunburns.

pected Democratic gain over the vote
of last year. There is deep interest
centered in the Ohio elections in Octo-
Der, and these elections across the river
are valuable indices. 1t should be borne
IN mind that change of less than half
OF one per cent. in Ohio last year would
have given the state to the democracy.
Ihe elections in our neighboring cities
OF Newport and Covington, which are
closely allied to our own, and all those
held since the issues were made up,
show gain of from ten to twenty per
cent. The German vote of Ohio is
about forty thousand. 1t was the Ger
man vote that was sought after last year,
and 1T was the vote in Cincinnati and
Cleveland that defeated William Allen.
The German vote this year is largely
with Iilden, and that fact. with the en-
phatic DRIFT shown in the late elections,
gives strong ground for the belief that
we shall carry Ohio in October The
disappointment OF the western and green
back democrats, which was pronounced
Immediately after the nomination of Mr..
Tilden, has almost entirely disappeared.
lIilden's letter, the nomination of Ew-
ing and of the other greenback men for
congress, the Ohio plattorm-all stimu-
late the most ultra advocates of currency
reform to support the democratic ticket,
and the indications are that the Ohio
democrats feel those stimulating infiu-
ences.d There IS no reason to believe
that we shall lose any vantage ground
in Ohio, and Ohio is really the only
doubtful ground. The German vote in
the country which is not in the pocket
of Carl Schurz would alone give US the
victory. The Germans never had much
of a chance to fight unit" Schurz; they
fight unit Sigel." With the known
strength of Tilden in the east; with his
rapidly growing strength in the west
and among the people who believe with
us, with the unmlstakable longing for a
change evinced SO recently and uniform.
ly in the elections. the situation woult
seem to assure the election of Tilder
;and Hendricks beyond a doubt. But

night cometh.-[ Gin. Enquirer, %.

THE SITUATION.

Let not him that girdeth on his harness
boast himself as he that putteth it of,
said writer for whom we all have great
respect. 1t is too early to count votes in
this presidential election. They must
be cast before they are counted, and we
must get nearer election day before any
can accurately prophesy. But it is pos
sible to talk about the probabilities, about
the situation. The tendencies are toward
change. The underlying desire is for
a change. The symptoms are that the
belief that there can be no real reform
without taking the conduct of affairs
from those who now hold it, is increas-
ing. The country was republicanin 1872.
1t was democratic in 187475-76. The
democratic party has the house of rep
resentatives. There are one hundred
and seventy-four democrats in the house
and one hundred and seven republicans.
1t has possession of majority of the
state governments. A majority of the
governors are democratic, and q major
ity of the state Legislatures are demo-
cratic. These indicate the altered senti-
ment Of the country, for the president,
who cannot be changed but once in four
years. and the senate, which changes
slowly. are republican. The popular
sentiment is with the democratic party,
as evidenced by all these governors, and
representatives and legislators who owe
their election to the people. There are
some circumstances which give reason
to believe that the democratic party will
gain upon this vote, the vote that since
the last presidential election has made
the country democratic. The strength
of Mr.. Tilden in the convention was un-
expected evidence of his strength in the
country. The weakness of Mr.. Hayes,
his nonenity, as 'twere, is in our favor,
and the positive, aggressive man, the
man of will, always wins, ceteris par
iJuS, in Il contest with the man lack
ing those qualities. The amazing pop
ularity of Mr.. Tilden in the st. Louis
has. since been emphasized
by the recent local elections IN the south. |
The cities of Covington and Newport
are so closely linked to Cincinnati. to
Ohio, that the drift in those cities is a
preface or prophecy OF the drift in Ohio. |
The voters of Covfngton and Newport,
or many of them, use Newport and Gov
ington as bedroom. while their toll is
on this side the Ohio. Their interests en-
tirely identical with our own, their po- |
htical convictions gathered from the |
same sources, CLEANED from the same |
facts, and the drift of their vote is there
fore almost as significant a"weather-
Vane as an equal vote this side the river
would be. That vote showed an une1-

San Francisco Chronicle: John Block

San Francisco Chronicle: John Block.
an elderly gentleman OF iratc temper
ament, residing on Stockton street, near
Pacific, has been greatly harrassed OF
late by the stencil proceeding from Il
shanty in proximity to his dwelling, and
occupied by Chinaman. The aggriev-
ed German sought to probe the matter
carefully, and applied sledge-hammer
first upon the door of the shanty. The
inmate did not appear to be desirous OF
receiving visitors, but cried out grullly,
'tWha' for? No good. You go hell"
Mr.. Blocks temper arose and he pro-
PEELED the door open with his shoulder,
and fell in upon the floor in Il heap.
When he gathered himself up again he
was exceedingly annoyed to discover
the Chinaman engaged in scraping the
half dried pieces of flesh from human
bones. He was gazing Ill horror, mo,
tionless and speechless, at the work Of
the ogre, when the latter arose and
tossed him out on the side walk, accel-
lerating his movements with a knife
The Chinaman was arrested ON Blocks
complaint and charged with an assault
with knife. The case came up yester-
day in the police court. 1t appeared
that the Chinaman's business is to pre-
pare the bones OF deceased Chinamer
for transmission to China The charge
against the Chinaman was dismissed
as Block had provoked the assault
