StOppIsg Advertisements.

The Mining and Scientific Press, Of
San Francisco, publishes 6 good hint
under the above heading, which we
here quote: 1--WE have frequently re.
ceived letters from readers asking
whether such aud such a firm, which
receatly advertised in the Press, has
suspended, aud we know that adver.
tisers do not always consult their best
interests by removing their names
from before the people. We believe
the following, from the Engineer, is
very true: Certain firms try to ono
mize by taking out their advertisements
occasionally they might as we'll take
down their oisus over theil doors. Ad.
vertisemenls should be continuous.
Any idea of discontinuiug them for a
period, however brief, with q view Of
saving, is a mistake which leads not
only 10 disappointment, but loss. II
involves not only the loss Of time DUR
ing which the advertisement ceases to
appear, but the additional loss of time
required to bring the public interest up
to the point al which it left of. The
proverb 'out OF sight out OF mind lie
nowhere more apparent than In the
case OF al advertisement" All sd.
vertisers Of experience will acknowl-
edge the truth Of the foregoing re.
marks. II lie well enough to change an
advertisement more or less frequently,
but to take ones firm name entirely oul
of the paper, is like shutting up the es'
adjustment 30 far as many readers are
concerned. This is especially the case al
the near approach OF the business sea-
son, when country people are inquirlng
for the b,st houses aud the cheapest

A MECHANICAL HoR.E has been show
ing his PAGES at Berlin. The rider 10
mounted on a hobby between two high
wheels and moves his legsiu rising and
falling In the saddle, aud the machine
goes along as fast as a fast trotting
horse. 1t lie all the same whether the
machine goes gently over the stones or
moves swiftly on the hard road, and
the facility with which the strange
steed turns around corners excites the
admiration Of oil beholders. The in
ventor believes that bic horse will be
OF great use TO porters for carry ing
light loads, aud he has confident hopes
that il will be highly appreciated by
the numerous classes who are fond Of
saddle exercises, but are too poor to
Guy and maintain horses of flesh and
blood. II is even suggested that the
mechanical horse will make an excell.
ent charger on the battle field, as it is
an animal that can neither eat nor
die.

sions.
After which the Council proceeded to:
Introduction of. and 1st Discussion on
Draft Of Budget for 1877 70 with Money
Bills.
The Draft Of Budget shews an estimated
Total Revenue of 1853. 655. and a Total
Expenditure Of S173,l42, or q deficit of
C. SEQ, 1000.
The President in Introducing the Draft
dwelt on the series of unfortunate circum.
stances that had led to tbs unavoidable
results, in this as we'll as the Budgets for
the previous 4 years-Mr. Faber asked for
explanation as to the proposed repair to
the Court House OF ChriStiansted at q cost
Of $4,000, especially if the idea Of using one
Of the other public Buildings as Court
House instead of the old Building, had
been relinquished. To this enquiry no
reply could be given, as it would have led
to O discussion beyond the prescribed
limits of this first reading Of the Draft.
Mr.. Sar0uw made some remarks as 10
formalia, regretted the absences OF the
statement given in former years of
the tax-arrears and dwelt on the probabi-
lily of the deficiency becoming much larger
than estimated. He questioned where the
means to meet the expenses were to bs
had, and urged the necessity of every Mem
Der Of the Council endeavourlng to effect
retrenchments; therefore, and in order that
the necessary proposals for changes by or
dinauces could be prepared, he proposed
that the Draft be referred to a Committee.
-LsmmsaR also recommended q Commit
tee-say of S Members-who should ex-
anime not only the expenses but also the
income, which be considered put down
much too high.

The work of building the Central FactO-
ry is rapidly progressing. There are at
present considerably more than three hun
dred hands employed, exclusive Of the peo-
pie about the q~uarries aud these engaged in
transporting materials to the building.
The walls Of the principal structure have
now in many parts reached their full
height Of 20 feet, and the frame work OF the
section in which the animal charcoal is to
be returned has been erected. Towards
the Southeast end of the main building q
number of iron columns have been fixed /,
supporting girders for carrying the floor
on which the finished sugar will be sto wed.
This upper floor will only extend a short
distance along the building, which will
otherwise be open from the ground floor

In before any other contest ia taken up

an elaborate set speech In reply 10 tho severe
structures passed upon his courso by Mr..

finish and general character from the oue he
delivered In the Senate last Monday a. to sug-
goat the inference that cleverer brain than
