The Efficacy of Advertising,

The Worcester Gazette of Thursday gives
currency to the following good illustration
of the number of persons reached by an
advertisement
SIN conversation to-day between some
prominent members of the bar an interest
ing "Reminiscences came up regarding the
efficacy of advertising. Several years ago
an eccentric bachelor, who had become
imbued with the advanced idea of afflnities,
advertised for a wife in paper of small
circulation then published in Worcester.
He had the advertisement also copied into
chronological journal in New York. In
answer to all applicants he sent blank to
be filled out by the applicant, stating her
name, measurements, color of hair and
eyes, and also daguerreotype. The man
never married, but at his death his effects
passed to his executors, and with them
these blanks and likenesses. Among the
legal advisers was gentleman who now
occupies an official position on the bench.
He said that be could not tell the number
of applicants for marriage. There was a
large trunk and yalise filled with blanks
and dagnerrotypes, and they came from all
parts of the country, many of them from
the city and persons of responsibility.
Soon requests began to pour in from per
sons requesting the return of the blanks
and likenesses. The matter created quite
a sensation al the time

PLAIN WORDS,

George William Curtis seems to under
stand the way we are going now," and
perhaps he can succeed in making some Of
our Vermont contemporaries understand it
too-although, we must confess, it seems
well nigh hopeless task. While they are
defending Babcock, excusng Barlow, hop
ing Belknap will explain, endeavoring to
gloss matters over, and wondering what
Frederick Billings 'means," Curtis tells
them that the " hour has arrived for plain
"words in the republican party and that
&" every one of us know, whether any of us
% are willing to confess it or not, that the
party name that we cherish SO sacredly
" has been stained with disgrace" that
low tone of political honor and political
morality prevails in republican official
service and that there ia an " increasing
disposition of the officials and agents of
'' the administration of this country, to
prostitute the party organization reent-
lessly and at all COSTS to personal ends. I"
The language is plain enough. 1t is time
for "plan words in the republican party"
and George William Curtis spoke them at
Syracuse, and will repeat them at Clncin-
natl. His words will be needed too by the
honest masses of the republican party and
only the " officers and agents of the adj
ministration will endeavor to conceal
and cover up the faults and be surprised
that any one dares Z" voice the universal
discontent with the present condition of
AFFAIRS and wonder what ia ment by the
complaints of honest republicans at the
way we are going now"

claim which Belknap allowed and paid, was
just claim against the. government and
that, therefore, he did no wrong in press
ing II be did not wrong the Kentucky
Central railroad company, because that
company had no interest in or claim to the
railroad and that he did not rob his broth

the estate of their father had any interest
in the claim. He testiiies that the courts
of Kentucky have decided that the railroad
does not belong TO the Bowler estate, or

claiming to be the Kentucky Central rail-

through which the road runs, and that this

THE DEMOCRATIC REFORMER, EC0NO-
MIST AND FINANCIER

George II. Pendleton has as much diff
Guilty in getting out of the dshonorable
position in which he was placed by his
testimony in the Kentucky Central rail-
road claim, as he did In forcing his infla-
tion-re reputation scheme down the throats
of the American people. AS he was left
by the testimony first given, he found
himself self convicted of defrauding The
government by the facile aid of the late
secretary Of war, or of conspiring to de-
fraud the Kentucky Central railroad COM
pany, OF which he was president, out of
some ninety thousand dollars, and the
Bowler estate, of which he was administra-
tor, and the infant heirs Of his brother-n-
law, whose guardian he was, out of some
fifty thousand dollars. Either situation
was bad enough, but defrauding the gov
eminent seemed trifle more honorable to
high toned gentleman like him, than to
cheat little children whose property was
entrusted to his care, so he again appears
as witness and 'vindicates" himself.
He insists, as he did before, that the

had reason to believe that Schenck knew
before he became n director that Albert

promoter Of the scheme. The character of

cient and successful in everything he un-

cents per day, while now the same labor is
fetching only forty cents per day for the
latest contracts. Consequently the direct
ors have, under the circumstances, con-
tracted the labor for one year from the first
OF August next at reduced rate.
