We desire our business men to make a note
of the above facts before completing their
advertising arrangements for the coming
season.
We use our best efforts to keep our columns
free of all irregular and irresponsible adver-
tising; for many good people seeing an ad-
vortisement in paper. especially their
church paper, take it as guarantee of re
spousibiity. Such confidence should not be
abused when it can be helped. We want,

This can hardly be called eating
corn, however, and is a mere make
shift. AS to the proper size of the
bites to be taken in eating corn from
the cob, our correspondent will find
that a kind heaven has regulated
that matter-apart from the size of
his mouth-by the diameter of the
ear of corn. A small ear compels
small bites, a large ear compels large
ones. In few cases is it possible to
take a single row of kernels, and
that should be assumed as the min.
imum; in striving after a maximum
we have only one advice to give
lately arrived foreigners, and that
is that they beware of lockiaw. 1t
is Of record that one aspiring scion
of a noble British house persisted
miserably years ago in the far West
because he rashly undertook to eat
his first ear of corn by biting
through the diameter Of the cob
instead of following its natural
meridian of longitude.

corn on tho cob.
New York wOrld.l

Noh AOIh WOTlu.l
An Englishman lately landed
propounds to us the following ques-
ton:
"Will you please inform me as to
the correct rule in etiquette Of eat
ing corn from off the cob, and
whether we should crunch two or
three rows Of kernels at timer"
II our British friend purchases
hot corn from one of the negro
damSels who sit upon the doorsteps,
and in a mournful chant offer that
delicious and nutritious edible to
travellers passing up the Bowery at
midnight, he may greedily yaflle
the corn off the cob and "crunch"
as many rows of kernels at mouth
ful as the capacity Of his jaws viii
allow. If he goes out on u coon
hunt and builds a fire and roasts in
its embers the corn and potatoes
which he has previously Gifted" "
from neighboring farmer, and sits
down on the grass to that feast of
gods with the summer moon hang
ing over him and the neighboring
woods and cornheld rustling in the
gentle wind, then it will also be
good form for him to eat from the
cob, with the single purpose of get
ting all the satisfaction he can cut
of the operation. AT a family din.
ner-table, too, where people have
more regard to comfort than style,
no harm will be thought of him if
he takes firm grasp Of the golden
ear aud bites as if he meant it, even
us one Of Swinburne's heroes would
bite the damson cheek of his lady
love. On state occasions even, when
it is good to put on company man.
ners, we should say to our newly
landed visitor, "Eat your corn from
the cob" for SO firmly fixed in the
heart Of every American is the
conviction that only thus can the
essence, the sweetness, the true in
yardntss Of that glorious and truly
free and Independent vegetable be
got at, that no one worth thinking
about will presume to criticise his
action, If he wears o mpstache and
likes to keep his face clean, and is
particular about his hands, it may
he better, however, to forego the
pleasures Of the palate and take his
corn cut from the cob and served

wages rise and all is tranquility and
cheerfulness. | have seen England
pass three or four times through
such critical seasons as | have de-
scribed. Through such seasons
the United States will have to pass
in the course of the next century,
if not of this. How will you pass
through them? | heartily wish
you a good deliverance. But my
reason and my wishes are at war,
and | cannot help foreboding the
worst. 1t is quite plain that your
government will never be able to
restrain distressed and discon-
tented majority. For with you the
majority is the government, and
has the rich, who are always mi
nority, absolutely at its mercy.
The day will come when in the
State of New York a multitude of
people, none of whom has had
more than half a breakfast, or ex-
poets to have morb than half din
ner, will choose a legislature. Is
it possible to doubt what sort of a
Legislature will be chosen? On one
side is a statesman preaching pa
tience, respect for vested rights,
strict observance of public faith.
On the other hand is demagogue
ranting about the tyranny of capi-
talists and usurers, and asking why
anybody should be permitted to
drink champagne and to ride in a
carriage while thousands of honest
folks are in want of necessities.
Which of the two candidates is
likely to be preferred by a work
ingman who hears his children cry
for more bread? seriously appre-
hend that you will, in some
such season of adversely as l have
described, do things which will pre-
vent prosperity from returning;
that you will act like people who
should in a year of scarcity devour
all the seed corn, and thus make
the next a year not of scarcity, but
of absolute famine. There will be,
fear, spoliation, The spoliation
will increase the distress. The dis
tress will produce fresh spoliation.
There is nothing to stop you. Your
constitution is all sail and no an
chor. AS l said before, when a
society has entered on this down
ward progress, either civilization or
liberty must perish. Either some
Caesar or Napoleon will seize the
reins of government with a strong
hand, or your republic will be as
fearfully plundered and laid waste
by barbarians in the twentieth CEN
tury as the Roman empire was in
the fifth, with this difference, that
the Huns and Vandals who ravaged
the Roman empire came from with
out, and that your Huns and Van
dals will have been engendered
within your own country by your
own institutions.
If you can derive any comfort as
to the future destinies of your
country from your conviction that
a benevolent Creator will never suf-
fer more human beings to be born
than can live in plenty, it is a COM
fort Of which | should be sorry to
deprive you. BY the same process
of reasoning one may arrive at
many very agreeable conclusions,
such as that there is no cholera, no
malaria, no yellow fever, no negro
slavery in the world.

WOMAN, OR TIGRESSg
Marriage Ceremony Postponed
aud Judge Pursued TO the
Grave.


A Marriage Ceremony Postponed
aud Judge Pursued 10 the
Buffalo Courier
1t is rarely that judge has had
occasion to excoriate either a plain
tiff OF a defendant as severely as
Judge Van Brunt was provoked to
do in dismissing the suit of the
Countess Heinructh. This woman,
however, is simply only one of the
cleverest of her class. There are
scores of Others in New York who
differ with her only in capacity for
intrigue and fraud. | now have in
mind a woman who has been prey
ing upon every one she could reach
during the past fifteen years. She
has been arrested and tried at least
half a dozen times, but SO cunning
ly were all her frauds executed that
it has been impossible for the law
to get hold Of her, and is still free
to carry on her schemes of black
mail.
A few years ago this woman, who
is the mother of three grown up
daughters, forced her way into the
house of a judge, now dead, whose
daughter was about to marry man
whom the adventures claimed as
her husband. The marriage was to
take piece next morning. The wo-
man burst into a parlor where the
Judge and his daughter, and also
the intended bridegroom and some
friends were passing a social even
ing, and pounced upon her victim
like tigress. She was finally put
out Of doors, but not until she had
said enough to effect a postpone
ment Of the marriage. 1t took
place some days afterward, but the
woman still asserted her claim and
took every means to annoy and tor
ment the husband and wife. She
followed them in the street, abusing
them like fishwife, and pointing
out the man to passers by as a
scoundrel and bigamist, and her
persecution became so intolerable
that the wife at last was afraid to
go out Of doors.
Fear of public scandal pre-
vented the Judge from having the
adventures arrested. The con-
slant wrong so wore upon him that
he broke down, and two years after
the marriage he died. The re-
peated allegations of the woman so
prejudiced him against his son-in-
law that he excluded him alto
gether from his will. This led to
further trouble. The daughter
who had been carefully provided
for was prevailed upon by her hus-
band. to whom she still clung, to
contest her fathers will, and a long
litigation followed. While it was
pending the contestant fell sick and
died, but the fight over her fathers
is still going on, the hus-
band continuing it as his wlfe's
executor Meanwhile, the women
whose claims, shouted at the street
corners, were the original cause OF
all the trouble and scandal in the
family, goes about boasting of what
she has done, and seeking new op-
portunities to pluck the unsuspect-
ing. She is over fifty years old.

A COIOrcd Abraham Father OF 1877
g'htldrpn

jackson Whig and Tribune
In Lexington, Tenn, there lives
an old negro man who claims to
be the father of l57 children. He
says he was at New Orleans when
General Jackson met Packingham,
and he then had a wife and one
child. He has been married thir-
teen times, and twelve Of his wives
bore him all of his legitimate chill
dren, 157 in number. The last one
claims none of the honor of mater
nifty Of this numerous progeny of
her prolific husband. He SAYS
most of his children were born in
triplets, and the increase of his
family alone before the war made
his master rich. His name is Bob
Rusk and he comes nearer father
ing the colored race according to
his times, and if Hams claim was
not the Oldest he would be daddy
to them all. 1t is needless to say
that Bob claims many more born
out of wedlook, and that we, believe
that Bob is u great lover of the art
of reckless romancing.

Mistaken Advertising.

The Denver Coll Herald, in a
late number, expresses the opinion
that the public can be better reached
through the columns Of newspaper
of fair circulation than through all
the other mediums, costly circulars,
cards, posters, give-aways and
iimcracks put together. The old
established weekly newspaper is,
after all, the only general, jul
dicious medium for advanta-
geous advertising. y thousand doors
are opened to welcome it; ath0usand
messengers are weekly seeking the
postofice to receive it; a thousand
families look for its coming, and ten
thousand read it when it does come,
advertisements and ALL" There is
much truth in this. The thousands Of
dollars wasted annually upon expen-
sive almanacs, circulars and other
questionable methods Of advertising,
which, in company with patent office
reports, find their way to the junk
shop, would render very material al
toward the support of numbers of de-
serving local papers, and also return
something in the way of profit to the
advertiser
