DEALING WITH A BL1CKN1ILER

The other day we gave a notorious advertising
agent of this city free advertisement. Since then
we have had Thanksgiving and feel nm
usually good-natured. So we give him to-day what
people of his kidney always So eager fora free
notice.
The extracts printed the other day showed how
largely the respectable press of the country re-
gard Mr.. George F. Rowell an impudent black
mailer and liar. They might easily have been
extended to five times tho length In
fact. we scarcely recall leading journal
with the single exception of The Nec-
York sun that does not dstrust or denounce him.
Concerning THE TRIBUNE. he has persistently
and maciously lied. to the utmost of his
ability and in that respect his powers are con-
siderable. 1t will amuse an idle five min
utes to tell why. After the death of Mr.
Greeley. it was found that the old Pub
Usher of THE TRIBUNE had been wheedled by
Mr.. Rowelps pretensions into allowing him double
the commission given other advertising agents
Nothing IN his performance warranted this and il
was "A discrimination post unjust to the numerous
and reputable agents whose services we enjoyed

our own tenants l.. II. DeshOns. j. w. Parmenter,
j. W. Pangb0m, Dauchy & Co. aud others of equal
repute. Under that rule. j. II. Bates, who has so
largely succeeded to Roweils business and has taken
the expensive Offices Rowel was no longer able
to retain, would be required 10 content himself
with half what the decaying concern
ha supersedes would get for tho
same work and other houses of vIgor aud push as
well as character like Frank, Herman & Co..

Just and invidous distinction The arrangement was
manfes.ly absurd. unbusness-Iike and unfair
and on that sole ground Mr.. Reid ordered its dis
continuance, and required all to be treated alike
Hence RpwelPs wrath. He has never lost an CD
portunity since TO lie abont The TRIBUNE, and the
more his business declined the he got and the
harder he lied
We have always refused to notice his ISLANDERS

tlser and tine paper both making the advertiser be-
lieye that he is getting something very cheap which
is really in proportion to quantity and quality
of circulation. absurdly dear, and compelling
the paper to give him the lions share of the profit.
His interest is wholly against business with large
and respectable papers; and it is not, therefore, to
the interest the better class of advertisers to do
business with him. They will not find 1t advanta-
geous to be represented with the leading newspa-
pers by man so widely believed TO be a liar and
a blackmailer.

inspired and sustained by religious prin-
ciple. DR.. Newman took National pac'fi-
cation as his subject, insisting that a
"Sold South is crime against the age,
which imperils the Nations life and must
come to an end. DR.. Tying preached upon
"God in the Constitution" and DIR. Vincent
upon some of the deeper sgnificances OF the day.
In Brooklyn, Mr.. Beecher spoke upon the
marvellous strength and elasticity OF the Re
public, which is teaching republicansm every
day to all the world, while Mr.. Talmage
made general review of Thanksgiving
topics.
Considering that eighteen centuries have
elapsed since mankind were taught the
sanc,ity and the helplessuess of childhood, it
does indeed seem strange that not until within
the last decade has a society been formed
with the single object of protecting these
little ones" against the cruelty of unnatural
parents or brutal and avaricious strangers.
1t does not seem so strange, however, when
il is remembered how slow the progress OF
woman has been from the place OF a
slave and drudge to that of COM
panion and equal of MANA progress which
has been completed only in favored countries,
and which some indeed insist is not completed
even there. 1t is not so very lODg-as the
age Of the world goes, and not the ages of
men and wOmen-since one of the Greek
writers remarked that a man thinking of mar
rage should reflect that his wife would annoy
him by wanting to eat at the same table with
him. nor so very long since it was noted,
among the same highly civilized people, that
some women could not be cured of the
SIN of talkativeness even by knocking out
their front teeth with a stone. While
mothers and wives have been toiling slowly
up the hill, it was natural, perhaps, that the
children should be forgotten. The existence
OF society expressly organized to protect
them against personal cruelty removes what
may almost be called blot on civilization,
and the amount of work it finds 10 do, as
described i'll a suggestive article elsewhere,
shows that there has long been need of it.

The Invention was practically tested at the
swimming bath Of the Sheffield Bath
Company. First, two small pieces of
linen, with part Of the preparation inserted
between the folds, were thrown into the
water The linen instantly inflated so as

about the bath. An attendant of the
company then put on a coat with the prep.

would not take place under the ordinary
circumstances of a shower Under the
