Timid people, who are easily embar-

without buying something. They tremble
at the sight Of waiter, aud fec him and
patiently take what he places before them,

THE ju dietary system OF this State
ia slightly mixed, the complaint
comes up long and loud from various
sections Of the State, that the Con-
stitutional Amendments have put
every thing in a muddle. That this
is true we are not surprised; there
never vas, perhaps, more bungle-
some constitutional enactment, but
the strange Fart is that the people,
knowing this fact voted for it. The
ARGUS did what it could TO point
out the defects, but to no purpose.
About twenty Thousand majority
OF our fellow citizens. either know
ingly,or by mistake, have voted for
the Amendments, and the result is
that we are in muddle.
1t is claimed by some that another
County Court may be held 80 that
the newly elected officers may haze
an opportunity to qualify aud give
bond, others claim that no such
court may be held. We have given
the matter some attention, and have
no doubt that the latter is the fact,
!. o., that no such court can be held
1t has been suggested on the other
hand that this makes no difference,
that by an act passed for the special
benefit Of Monongslis county, but
generally in effect, that the officers
may qualify in January, but the
trouble here is that there is no tri-
bunal 10 January before which they
can qualify, hecouss the Amend
ments are not self-acting. but will
require an act OF the Legislature be-
fore the com missioners elected may
hold their court, 80 on the whole
matters are badly mixed Nor is
this all, the law provides that cases
may be certified from justice TO
the County Court. Now there is no
County Court, the Law is still 10
force, and cannot be abrogatsd, Tor
II men may not certify their oasss
they are deprived Of the right Of
trial by jury. The pertinent quss-
ton is, to what court will you GER
tify css5s2
There are many more questions,
but We will rect with these We
hope the friends Of the Amend
ments will enjoy tue situation.

Newspaper Advertising.

Newspaper Advertising is now
recognized, by business men having
faith in his own wares, as the most
effective means Of securing for their
goods a wide recognitian Of their
merits.
Newspaper advertising compsls
inquiry, and, when, the article Of
fered is Of good quality and at fair
price, the natural result is increased
sales.
Newspaper advertising is a per-
msnent addition 10 the reputation
Of the goods advertised, because it is
permanent influence always at
work In their interests.
Newspaper advertising is the most
energetic and vigilsnt Of statesmen
addressing thousands each day, al
ways in the advertisers intessst, end
cesselessly ct work seeking ousto-
mers from ell clsssss.
Newspaper advertising promotes
trade, for even in the dullest times
advertisers secure by far the largest
share Of what is being done.
While the advertiser eats and
printers, steam engines and printing
presses are at work for him. trains
are bearing his words to thousands
Of towns and hundreds Of thousands
Of people. all glaucing with more

How Long ought n Man to Live

Although the average, duration Of human
life is found to be increasing for the past
hundred years, or since mortality tables
have been kept, yet 1t Ia equally true that
fewer people die OF old age than formerly.
Scientists say that the natural duration Of
all animal life ls FIVE times the period II

maturity. For illustration, the horse IL
fully grown at FIVE years, and barring &C
