they ignore tie most rasrIltLtI condition
in advertising, namely, that it has the
character and effect from the medium
through which it is given to the reader.
Advertisements thrust into Irregular
and unbusiness places impress the gen.
eral mind that the concern is Of u SINH
lar character. On the other hand, an
advertisement in a general newspaper of
class standing carries the Impress
ion that the advertiser has a s%tanding,in
its W community, which he is not
afraid TO show to his neighbors, and
that lie does not shrink from competi-
ton with the best of them. These are
the different impressions that are made
on all minds by advertising in a journal
of high character and circulation among
the reputable classes, and when seen in
byplaces and irregular or low channels.
Every one finds that in his own, feel
ings, if he would but think on the sub
ject. II any n is going to place to
buy, whether he be a trader or buyer
for his use. and has to seek dealer
through advertisement, where lie look
for them? In registers, almanacs,

On the contrary he looks to the most
reputable newspaper of the place, and
he thinks that advertising in these
gives an assurance of the good standing
of the advertiser and his business enter

While on this subject We beg to
call tho attention Of our enterprising
citizens to the fact that Councilman
Ducournau has prepared an Ordinance
relative to street Lamps, and We
would urge all those who desire OUT
city lighted to put up tho necessary
Posts and Lamps.
1t is to be hoped, also, that the

not only be Of iocalculable benefit d
the residents Of that portion Of oul

A TOLEDO LAWYERS ADVENTURE. "A
prominent dignified attorney who lives in
Toledo, while eating his breakfast a few
mornings since, saw COW pass in front OF
the house which very much resembled the
animal that supplied the milk for his own ia
Bile. He thought it was his COW, as his old
brindle has habit Of forgetting to come to
her home when she escapes to the green pas
lures which surround the city, the attorney
left his half-fnished breakfast and without
hat and in slippers gave chase to the animal.
1t was close race between the dignihed at
torney and the old COW, and 1t is hard to tell
which retained the most dignity. She made
good time and SO did the attorney. At last,
however, after hot chase Of three blocks he
caught her and led her in triumph to the
barn. What was his disgust to discover there
his own COW quietly feeding from the trough.
He returned to the house, and when the small
boy, with twinkle in his eye, asked If he
g caughted her" he was savagely ordered to
go and get his fathers boots and not ask any
questions.

massa - I" Yes" replies the other this
foolish notion that black people have got into
their heads that they would be better off in
Kansas, where it's so cold six months In the
year that people have all they can do to keep
warm, and where the colored people will
freeze to death by hundreds every winter If
they go there" " Bleeding Kansas, massa ? ="
{" Yes, the old bleeding Kansas we used TO
hear so much about" "Well, massa, do
you think its any colder in Kansas now than
1t was when you white folks used to shoot do
Yankees because dey wouldn't let you take de
black folks dere to lib?"
