The Best Way to Advertise.

The Burlington Hawkeye says
A standing advertisement in a
newspaper. set boldly out, attracts
good deal of attention and be-
comes rransfxed in the mind of the
reader. Tt may not be noticed at
first, but after awhile the lines
grow familiar to the eye and be-
come stamped upon the mind. The
advantage is made apparent in
this way: The subscriber in the
course of time wants something iu
the line OF goods kept by the man
whose advertisement he is familiar
with. He naturally visits that ad-
vertiser's store and buys what he
wants, for though he may never
have been inside the place before,
be feels thoroughly acquainted
with everything about it, and free
from that embarrassment which
no one likes to show when out on
shopping tour. A good adver-
tisement kept constantly in pa
per is like a fnger-board in a cross
road-it removes all difficulty in
finding the right place.
To which an exchange adds the
following: The above is all very
true, and we may add a little more. !
Some OF our patrons say, I don't
want a standing advertisement; Il
will invest in locals. But few men
in the hurry OF business attend to
sending in locals to weekly paper
regularly, and much of the time is
not represented. This country is
constantly being peopled with new
They come with money
and stop with acquaintance. The
country paper is the first thing
that is asked for. If the judicions
advertiser is represented with q
judicious advertisement, he may |
profit thereby; but it his face in the |
way of type has been omitted, and
the locals forgotten, as they often
are, the new conner when he goes
TO purchase his outfit will look for
The sign of the store which he saw
announced in the standing ads.
They are taken as an index to
business places just as much as the
painted sign or goods displayed in
front. Locals in connection with an
advertisement frequently changed
are good, but the two should go
together, and in the end are the
most profitable,

Exposure Of a Scandal.

DETROIT. There is the very
scandal oil all scandals afoat here.
and one which, while it is in the
mouths of a hundred people, has
been, from a number of reasons,
kept out Of public print. It may,
however, become public any morn
ing, and when it does, as I heard
a gentleman remark yesterday, "it
will knock the Beecher scandal
higher than a kite" The parties
to it occupy somewhat anomalous
positions. One is divine, than
none occupies higher position in
his own church, or, for that matter,
in any church in the West, The
other party is a young lady OF
heretofore irreproachable charac-
ter, and now married to a young
gentleman actively engaged in
business, and who knows nothing
whatever of the connection OF his
now wife with the disgracefll life
which can not escape exposure
after what is now known here and
in Chicago. The relations between
the young lady and the clergyman
alluded to extended over the entire
years OF I674-75, and are fully
shown BIZ bis own letters. When
confronted with the proofs of his
own guilt, presented to him by
men Of bis own church. and finding
that he had been deceived by her.
he begged for mercy and promised
to resign his Office and proceed to
Europe ii publications were sus-
pended.

If You Want a Kiss, Take 1t.

There's jolly Saxon prcverb
That's pretty much like this:
That man is half in heaven
When he has woman's kiss,
But there's danger in delaying,
And the sweetness may forsake it !;
So tell you, bashful lover.
Ifyou want kiss, why take it.
Never let another fellow
Steal a march on you in this;
Never let laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss.
There's royal way of kissing,
And the jolly ones who make 1t
Have motto that is winning;
If you want kiss, why take it.
Any fool can face a cannon
Anybody wear crown
But a man must win woman,
Ii he'd have her for his own.
Would You have golden apple,
Yon must find a tree and shake it.
If a thing is worth the having
And You want a kiss, why take it.
Who would burn up in desert,
With forest running by?
Who would give his sunny summer
For bleak and wintry sky?
Oh I tell you there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break it;
For the sweetest part of loving
Is to want kiss and take it.

Affairs i'm Calcasieu.
Special to the N. o. Democrat.

Lake Charles, April 27.-Private
kilograms from Calcasien of this
day announce that the investiga-
tion before Com missioners Adams
and Hale has reached the fifth day.
Gen. Sewell, the prosecuting
witness, is ably represented by
Geo. Ell. Wells, of Lake Charles,
and E. G. Chamberlain, of New
Orleans. Mr.. Wells was the coun-
sci who defended Capt. Horne in
bis trial when charged with resist
ing the marshal in his illegal seiz-
ure of the tug Alert, and distin-
guished himself by the able and
successful defense made. He ia
regarded as the ablest lawyer in
his section of the State.
The progress OF the investiga-
ton is slow, 10 consequence Of the
numerous unimportant technical
objections raised by Mr.. Carter's
counsel. Mr.. Adams has overruled
all these, and seems to evince a
desire for thorough investigation.
The evidence is overwhelming
against the government officials.
and will startle even those who
have so persistently aided Carter
in his system of oppression.
A full report of the proceedings
up to Friday morning has been
forwarded by mail.
