Uhen to advertise.

Almost every advertiser has his theO-
ry about the proper season for adverti-
sing. Some say that there is no use of
trying to force trade when it is dull; ;
others say that trade is good enough at
certain seasons, and they only want
more trade in such and such months.
Hence they advertise at that time only.
Such advertisers are frequently dis
appointed in the time it requires to re-
ceive an answer to their advertisement.
A card appearing to-day in New York
daily brings answers to-day, and is for
gotten in week; while in the weekly
of that daily it will be week before the
paper comes out, from one to ten days
may elapse before the paper reaches the
subscriber, and as many more days go
before the reply to the advertisement
comes in. Moving machines are sold
in June and July, garden seeds in
March, April and May, but ADVERTISE
ments for these articles must be ordered
in time to appear in the papers and for
order to come in and be filled before
the day of actual use. A school which
commences its term September 18th, is
advertised in June, July and August.
Nothing is more common than the
complaint, My advertising don't pay
me because I commenced advertising
too early" Or, My advertising was so
late when it appearedsin the papers that
the season for advertising had gone by"
Some regard should be paid to sea-
son, and without doubt, an advertise
ment should be so worded as to be sea-
sonable; but people read the newspaper
about as much at one time as another,
and if at certain periods an advertise
ment is not.likely to be quite as pro-
ductive, that fact keeps competing adj
vertisements out of the newspaper col
umns, and consequently gives the whole
field to the man who does advertise at
that time. We would not recommend
druggist to advertise ice cold soda I"
in January, nor should arctic over
shoes for the retail trade be pushed
with much energy in June; but outside
of few articles which have their sea-
sons, it is admitted by the best adver-
Users that the best time to advertise is
all.the time.
In every locality the local newspaper
is taken by the best people. The news
paper is the. only advertising medium
that is bought and paid for by the per-
sons whose attention the advertiser
wishes to attract. Every man thinks
more of the paper for which he pays
than a gratuitous sheet or circular
which is thrown into the door. An adj
vertisement in his own paper attracts
his confidence without any oflicious so
licitation, almost without his knowing
it. The stronger reason why the news
paper is the best advertising Medium is
because it is paid for by the recipient.
The subscriber pays the cost Of manu-
facture and distribution. The publisher
can therefore give publicity TO an adj
ycrtisement at a lower price per hun
dred or Thousand than could DE Afforded
under other circumstances. No other
mcliuin has ever competed succcssfully
with tie newspaper Is a general sdyer-
Using medium.

Strange End Of a city.

Strange End Of a city.
The death of cities has been us
strange and as various as the demise of
human beings. In very old times two
cities were burned by fire that rained
down from heaven. On another occa-
sion all the cities of the earth came to
their end by drowning. In later times
two proud cities in Italy were literally
buried alive. In several instances cities
have been swallowed up by earthquakes,
while in other cases they have been en-
quilted by the waves of the sea. Many
have died from old age and the lack of
suitable nutrition. During an extreme
ly cold winter many years ago small
city in Iceland froze to death. In nu-
merous instances cities have been
burned out of existence by malice. In
at least one instance the ashes of city
were dishonored after the act of crema-
ton had been performed. Rival cities
have often destroyed each other. Some
two years ago young and frisky city
in Kansas ran away to avoid it's credi-
tors, who were in pursuit.
But the fate of Memphis, the great
cotton mart, the afflicted, plague-strick-
en- city, is stranger than all. On Thurs
day night, Jan. 3Oth, just after sunset,
it put an end to its own existence. The
coroner has made no report on the mo-
tive for the crash act" 1t was in good
health, having just recovered from Sc
we're sickness. It had no enemies that
made life uncomfortable. On the contra
ry, it had numerous friends, as was IN
stanccd by the many marks of affection
lately shown when it was in distress.
There were no evidences of insanity.
Everything goes to show that it COM
mitted suicide in most deliberate,
cool, calculating manner. The plans
were duly matured some days before
they We're executed. A select company
were invited to be present to witness
the act of self-execution. 1t did not APP
pear to regard suicide as disgrace, as
most Christians do. It gloried in the
act even as the old Roman generals and
philosophers did.
1t may be stated that Memphis was
driven to its death by it's creditors, but
this was not exactly the case. They
were pursuing the ordinary course in
order to collect their Just dues. Hav-
ing tried in vain for long time to get
back the money they had loaned the
city, and failed in every attempt, they
procured mandamuses from the highest
power in the land, with view of COM
pelling a restitution of the property.
The city heard of this proceeding, and
adopted means to prevent service. 1t
took its own life. When the officers
came up with their papers they found
nothing but cold corpse. New Mem
phis of the Mississippi, like old Mem
phis of the Nile, exists only in history.
1t is as easy to collect debt of the one
as of the other. Preachers generally
tell us in formal discourses that there is
"a solemn warning" in every DEATH
In the death of Memphis solemn
warning " is brought home to capital
lists. The only consolation that is af-
forded to anyone by this unexpected
departure is that it will be more diff
cult for cities to get in debt in the flu
ture. Fear of suicide will prevent it.

A Picture of Memphis.

A dispatch dated the 22d inst, de-
scribes the desolation in Memphis, caus-
ed by the yellow fever:
"Among the business houses closed
are Charles Herzog 4 Co., Bcjach's Hol-
lenberger's, Hill & Mitchell, a. Wetter
& Co., and q hundred others. The streets
are all deserted, and the persons we meet
are all of the iron-clad order, having had
the fever last year. A stroll throughout
the entire length sud brcadth of the city
found residences on Adams street. from
Second out, with the exception Of five or
six families, entirely deserted. Poplar
street, one Of the leading thoroughfares,
from Third out, has three stores of the
dry goods and drug nature open. All
saloons and cigar stands have closed
The whcle of Front street is very near
closed out. Medison street banks and
insurance Offices and nearly all the resi-
denoes were shut up, and we could emu
merate other tboroughfsres equally de-
populated. In "Hel's Halt Acre." where
are congregated nearly all the disiopuia-

Facts About the Census.

As the time for taking of the next cen
sus approaches, much interest is attached
to the matter, and as general misunaer-
standing exists in regard to the mode Of
appointing enumerators, the following
law in regard to the matter will save
much unnecessary correspondence and
trouble when properly known: "The
Secretary OF the Interior on or before the
fret day of March, 1880, shall appoint
one or more supervisors for census fer
each State, but the whole number 10 the
St,tes and Territories shall not exceed
$50. The supervisors SHALL appoint the
enumerators for the various, counties OF
the State. Any county exceeding 1000
in population shall be divided into dis
tricts so that no district shall contain
more that 4, 900 inhabitants. These en-
umerators shall begin their duties on the
fret Monday In June, 1880, and finish
their work before the first day Of July,
1880. thus requiring the work to be done
in less than thirty dsys. The compensa-
ton Wilfbe two cents for each inhabitant,
two cents for each desth reported, ten
cents for each farm, and ten cents for
each establishment of productive indus
try. Applications for appointment as
enumerstors must be addressed to the
supervisors ofthe state where appointed.

The Respect Shown the Union Sol
dier

BY the Republican party is not as sin
cere as its profession, and the recent ac-
tion of Mr.. Secretary McCrary is confr-
matory of this declaration. For come
time there has been employed in the Of
fee of the Quartermaster General the
widow Of Colonel Long, of the United
States Army. Colonel Long, in a fit OF
temporary insanity some years ago, com.
mitted suicide on account of the intense
suffering be had daily to bear from
wounds received in battle His widow
last week was summarily turned out of
office, and, with three children, is thrown
upon the cold charity of the world. The
contrast to this picture is vivid. In the
office of the Public Printer, the patronage
of which is distributed by the Republi-
cans is the widow w,daughter,son and SON.
.in-law OF Colonel Yager of Mississippi,
who some years age, in the streets OF
jackson, assassinated Colonel Crane, OF
the United States Army, who at that time
commanded the military forces stationed
at Jackson. And yet another instance
of Republican ingratitude to the soldier :
A few days ago Jasper W. johnson was
appointed by Secretary McCrary to a
fra-class clerksbipin the War Depart
ment, and to make room tor him Union
soldier was dsmissed. Johnson turned
up here during Bristow's administration
of the Treasury Department., and was sent
by Bristow to Cincinnati as an Inspector
of Customs, to aid in fixing up the del
cations for Bristow's Presidential candi-
dacy. For this service be was paid $500

What Ewing Wants.

Republican papers say that General
Ewing wants deprecated dollar-a dol
lar tust is simply dollar on its face, and
may really only be worth 30 cents or 70
cents. Do the "wants of trade" call
for deprecated dollar? Will depre-
cisted dollar help the farmers, the work
ingman or the mechanic? What Gener-
al Ewing wants, is enough Of money to
put every sort OF business and enterprise
into healthy activity, giving to all EN-.
pioyed just and liberal rece mpense
He wants to liftnp, not pull down. HI
wants the people to be happy and conten
ted, not unhappy and disccntented. Eos.
ter appears to lear that ift,o much mon.
ey is given the people they will hun
themselves. General Ewing has 90 suct
fears. His policy ito give to the peo.
pie plenty OF money, as taat will Civ,

try of much of its crime and poverty
