On board of the steamer Golden
Rule, plying between Cincinnati and

called the pilot" 1t is perhaps the
only paper in existence published on a

following, which appears in his issue
of the 10Th inst "a Memphis paper
talks about spring flowers appearing
there, and in the same column, a little
further down, says: The man who
spreads sawdust across the street in
front Of his residence is a humanitar-
ian.' 1t is hard to reconcile these two
remarks, unless the writer of them is
a circus clown or a bartender.

THE ART OF ADVERTISING.
Some Of the Absurd Methods -HOw
Money Is Wasted.
Cincinnati Gnnette.l

Cincinnati Gazette
One Of the queer things in business
is the propensity of people to seek
irregular mediums fer advertising. 1t
is unaccountable the prices that some
men pay for sticking their advertise
ments in irregular places. Especially
is this so when compared with their
unwillingness to pay anything for adj
vertising in the regular channels. Men
will pay large sums for inserting their
business cards in a section of a frame
in a hotel, bar-room, street-car, rail-
way station, or in a hotel register, or
an almanac, or guide book, or annual
of one sort OF another. The by-ways
they seek, or that successfully solicit
them, are innumerable. Likewise
they will spend large sums for print
ing special circulars, and in postage to
send them. In all this they ignore
the most essential condition in adver-
tising, namely, that it has the
character and effect from the
medium through which it is given
to the reader. Advertisements
thrust into irregular and unbusi-
ness places impress the general mind
that the concern is Of a similar char
acter. On the other hand, an adver-
tisement in a general newspaper Of
first class standing carries the impress
sion that the advertiser has a standing
in his own community, which he is
not afraid to show to his neighbors,
and that he does not shrink from com
petition with the best of them.
These are the different impressions
that arc made on all minds by adver.
Using in a journal Of high character
and circulation among the reputable
classes, and when c in by-plaees
and irregular or low channels. Every
one finds this in his own feelings, If
he would but think on the subject.
If any one is going to a place to buy,
whether he be a trader or buying for
his own use, and has to seek dealers
through advertisements, where will
he look for them? To registers, all
manacs, theater-bill frames, in rail
way stations, occasional advertising
sheet or circular? On the contrary
he looks to the most reputable news
paper Of the place, and he thinks that
advertising in these gives an assur-
ance Of the good standing of the ad-
vortisor and his business enterprise
and Of the suficiency of his stock.

The App Murder Case.

The trial of George Apr commenced
this forenoon after the twelfth juror
was accepted, in the person Of Mr.. c..
d. Armstrong. A part of the morn
ing hours were consumed in discuss
ing the admission of Hackett's dying
declaration. The judge finally ad-
mitted it with a few excisions. A
strange feature connected with the
structure of this jury is the fact that
one of them was some time since ar
rested on a charge of having tried to
bride Attorney General Turner, by
offering him fifty dollars, in a case
wherein Wolf Wilman was indicted
for receiving stolen goods in connec-
ton with Sam Schloss' watch. The
charge against Mr.. Hammer was dis
missed at least he was never prose-
cuted, and he is now a competent juror
to serve in so important a case as that
Of murder. 1t will be remembered
that App shot and killed one of his
workmen named Hackett, last fall,
because the latter refused to give up a
pair Of boots he had made until his
past due wages were paid.
