Success In 1drertis,ng.

I'm times past it was thought immodcst to
proclaim the excellence of ones goods. OF 10
80 liclt patronage for them in newspapers.
Drring the a.t twenty-five years through
the immense CO upetitiOn in trade, 1t has be-
come a necessity. The public are Away
anxious to learn OF progress, but arc equal
desirons to avoid all fr. u Is. rs they have
become skeptical of an article possessing
genuine merit, and are particularly preJn-
diced against sterling announcements OF
some new and wonderful medine without
character or wort1. Still the public are
grateful TO manufacturers or inventors OF ar
ticles OF merit, even II known as medicines; !;
many OF them are the result OF years OF Gu, e..
full study by our most eminent chemists and
physicians, and embrace such p inciples ana
p, oductions as Quinine, Chloroform, Chloral
Hydrate, Porous piasters, &C.
Success in advertising depends much upon
tn, intrinsic worth OF the article it elf even
though it be medical preparation AS an
evidence of this, a celebrated physician oil
New York made great Improvement In Por.
Gus Plasters by adding CAPCiNE on account
OF its giving increased effect and quicker re,
lief and cure than any known mediclcal
p' operty; he hesitated about advertising
fearing his reputation would be injured. A
firm OF Pharmaceutical Chemists in his city
learning OF this decided improv. .ment. made
an arrangement with this physician and com
menced advertising In the best newspapers
In short time the sale increased from hun
dreds to thousands until now the sale o.
BENsON's CAPCINE PLAsTERs is exceedingly
large and daily increasing. They can be OBJ
tanned of any Druggist aE 25 cents each.

What the Papers Say.

Columbian, Bloomsburg, says the
House Committee on appropriations
have already cut of 81, ,4s1 Ala, and
will reduce the cost of collecting the
revenue at least 81, 100000. This is
real progress in the interest of the peo,
pie and shows what Democratic Ad-
ministration can do. Our party is re-
deeming its pledges to the people
despite factious opposition from our
opponents, and proved that it alone
should be continued in power.
Post. Pittsburg, says Mr.. Irwin and
the managers OF the Pacific Mail, along
with all the sharers of this $3.50, 900
bribe ought to be made to respond at
the bar of justice, net upon charge
of embezzlement, but the correct
charge of bribery.
Bulletin, Philadelphia, denounces the
American mode of crippling and dis
torting the feet by improperly made
shoes, and says an evening party of
American womon, all barefooted,
would be "ghastly unveiling" Of mis-
shapen members, corns and bunions.
Sun, N. Y, is in favor of abolishins
all the Navy Yards in the country and
having the work done by contract. 1t
claims that the Navy Yards as they are
at present conducted, are old narser-
les OF political corruption.

Carlos Submits With u Good Grace.

LONDON, Feb. 29.-The Paris dis
patch of the Times says: AS soon az
Don Carlos entered France, a French
general, in accordance With the orders
of General CiSsey, Minister of War,
waited On him and informed
blm that all the officers of his
staff might retain their swords and
horses, but he and his officers would
have to submit themselves to the or.
ders of internment which were com
municated to them by the civiliauthor-
tiles. Don Carlos appeared distressed
and was quite disposed to conform the
orders. He begged to have his thanks
conveyed to the French Government
for its courtesy. The French Govern
ment hastened to officially inform the
Spanish Government of the surrender
and to congratulate it on the happy
csnclusion of the war. The Times
correspondent adds: 81 have received
the following authoritative informa-
tion: Don Carlos asks the privilege of
remaining in France, but the Govern.
ment will probably refuse it. The
exact terms of the orders for the in
ternment of Don Carlos and suite are
not yet known, but it is thought that
Carlos will not remain long in France"
kilograms just received announce that
Alfonso will return TO San Sebastian
in a few days to receive Queen Isabel
la. The Times correspondent with
the Carlists telegraphs from st. Jean
de Luz, Monday, that five battalions
accompanied Don Carlos and Lizarra-
ga into France, and General Moriones
has occupied Lesaca.

The EXPLOITATION OF CorroN G GODS

The EXPLOITATION OF COTTON G eops.
The Boston Advertiser" says there
is no doubt that the expectation of
cotton goods is already growing very
fast, and much of this rapid increase
is due to the excellent character of the
60 eds manufacturers have sent over.
A large commission house in Boston
received an offer for lot of bleached
cotton at figure little OFF the mar
ket price short tipe since, but they
declined 1t. They Immediately re-
ceived an offer for sixty cases at their
prices, and the goods went by the next
steamer. A Chicopee firm has just
shipped 500 bales of cotton sheeting to
Liverpool, and Lowell is already send
ing considerable portion of its cotton
goods to China and south America,
and the demand from these markets is
said to be steadily increasing.

Last evening nun named John
Turley, an Irishman, was brought to
our prison from Cedar Hollow, in East
Whiteland township. in a very preca-
rious condition, having shot himself
twice in the throat with a pistol, the
particulars of the circumstances as we
have CLEANED them being as follows:
ln the morning, Turley in frenzied
moment of anger, pulled his pistol and
deliberately shot his wife, the ball
taking effect under her right ear pro-
ductng wound from the effects Of
which she will not likely recover. I'm
mediately after shooting his wife, he
fired two loads into his throat Just un-
der the chin, the balls making a fright
full wound, tearing the jaw and knock
ing out number of teeth. One of
these balls was taken out before reach
ing prison, but up to this morning tho
other remained.
The poor wife was sent to st. Joseph's
Hospital, in Philadelphia. The neigh
bors upon hearing Of the sad affair
fastened to the scere, and did all in
their power to relieve the victims, and
in the afternoon the man was brought
to our Jail, where he AYERS he was in

He was man about 3S years of age,

Messrs. Irwin g. McCarty.

1t is said that Turley has net been a
cruel or unfeeling husband and father,
but to the contrary was disposed to
help his wife in doing many little du-
ties relating to the household.

The Sick MAN OF THE EAST Not
only is the Sultan of Turkey sick, but
if the report of tie late total defeat of
his troops after great battle in Herze
govina is true, the cpithet of "sick
man." which has long been applied to
his empire, is having fresh ilustra-
tion. This term originated with the
Emperor Nicholas of Russia, who, in
1914 visited England and had repeated
conversations with the Duke of Wei.
lington and the Earl of Aberdeen re.
specting the feeble condition of the
Turkish empire. In January, 1853, he
had several conversations ON the sab
ject of Turkey with Sir G. Hamilton
Seymour, British ambassador at St.
Petersburg. In one of these he COM
pared Turkey to "sick man." said
that the Turkish empire was dying,
and that some event was sure shortly
to occur that would cause its dissolu-
tion. The result of the Crinean war
obtained the 'sick man" respite for a
time, but his days seems to be num-
bered. The cruelties lately practiced
by Turks upon Christians in the pro-
vinces will cause no regret when their
empire comes to an end.

ceasingly preach the popular doctrines

BISHOP HAVEN.


The above clergyman is another of Pres
ident Grants favorites. He is plain and
outspoken, and is apparently not afraid to
speak out in meeting, but listen to what
the Church journal says of him:
's0ur first acquaintance with him was on
the occasion. of his delivery, some years
since, of sermon on 'miscegenation'- o.
the intermarriage of white people with ne
groes. He strongly advocated that measure,
not only on physical, but On high moral
and Methodistic grounds, and handled the
discussion with a loving familiarity (physi-
ology and all) which gave his hearers and
readers the satisfaction Of feeling that he
had thoroughly mastered the subject"
The New York Sun, in an editorial on
the Bishop, uses the following:
ssGeorge Washington was an Episcopa-
han, but II be had been nominated for the
presidency as a candidate of the Episcopal
Church, he woaIi never have been elected

Jefferson could not have been elected as the
skeptical candidate, nor John Quincy
Adams as the Unitarian candidate. We

THE SIDE soENE AT GALVESTON.

81
Ludicrous as well as grave events occurred
last week in Galveston in the midst of q
magnificent assemblage of seven or eight
hundred of the leaders of the people of Tex
as. OF these there were probably one hun
dred gay young gentlemen who could
hardly govern themselves when at endless
tables burdened with luxuries they sat
in Armory Hall. With each of a thousand
champagne bottles there were as many
throats uncorked and each delegate ran
over until he was gaseous; and pungent and
exhilarating were the speeches made. Late
in the evening there were quite a score all
speaking at the same time, and the scene OF
confusion was ludicrous to the last degree.
The excellent orator, John Henry Brown,
who had no opportunity to ventiIate his
notions while the convention sat, occupied,
at this noisy hour, one end of long table.
He spoke with infinite vehemence standing
in chair, and then he rose upon the table,
still seeking the attention of the multitude.
OF course he failed, and grew angry and
waxed exceeding wroth, condemmng the
noisy throng very violently. Meanwhile,
Col. Finley occupied the other end of the
table. He, too, seemed irrepressible. But
he never grew angry, and while he gesticu-
lated vehemently and his face evinced much
excitement, and eyes flashed forth all
the brilliant rainbow hues that
are evolved from unsealed champagne bot.
ties, his bps were sealed. He opened not
his mouth. Men seeing him 'smuch moved, y
and conscious of his power and wit, gathered
closely about him. Those nearest soon dis
covered that he was pantomimist and tina,
in action only was he copying our friend
John Henry Brown. As the multitude com
pretended the facts and the practical jok,
was appreciated, Finley's silent eloquenct
gained frrsh admirers, and the uproar at the
close of each supposed terrific sentence wa
simply fearful, and the greater the deafen
ing applause provoked by Finley, the great
er the impotent rage of the excitable Mr.
Brown, and the process of imitation OF
Browns side and contraction on Finley's wal
progressive till Brown burst and subsidized
and Finley collapsed amid fOars of laughter
and the multitude rosred.
We were told that the scene was fatal Il

bers of the grave convention who passed tn

ipate large increase of foreign Immigration
in consequence of the success which has at
tended the importation of live stock into
the English market. A live stock transpor-
tation company has been organized in Eng
land, which, by way of experiment, shipped
last spring over 1000 horses and cattle by
steamer from Rockport to Liverpool, and
the venture resulted so profitably that the
company reorganized, the capital increased,
and 1t is now proposed to put eight first
class steamers in the trade. As the company
will rely mainly on their transportation of
stock for their profits, they will be able to
bring out immigrants at very low rates
"The natural advantages of Texas are very
great, and now that 1t has freed itself from
the domination of the Grant officials who
nearly bankrupted it with their jobbery
and extravaganza, there is every reason to
believe that it will increase in prosperity"

ABOUT TEXAS.

The editors of the North are taking an
interest in our young State, and the force of
circumstances, coupled with the facts which
are daily rolling in upon them, urges them
to this, as important and valuable news to
be given to the nation at large, and to peo-
pies on the other side of the Atlantic. If
the growth Of our State was wonderful
during the past year we are well satisfied
with what is now passing in our midst that
our increase in population and wealth dur
ing the coming year viii be double that of
the past. Another thing, the class Of peo-
pie immigrating hitherward are not medi-
ocre either in brains or wealth. They all
bring more or les OF money, wagons, inn
plements and cattle for work. Any man
