Advertisements as Newspaper Feature.
Good, fresh advertisements are not the
least interesting and valuable portion of
a newspaper. We have been told that a
prominent New York journalist hoped
to see the day when the profits on the
circulation of his paper would be so
large that he could dispense with ad-
vertising altogether. We think he is
mistaken in his opinion of advertising
and newspapers. Advertisements are
news. They tell the readers what they
want to know-where goods can be
bought, what they are sold for, who
has houses to rest or sell, who wishes
to purchase real estate, where employ
ment and labor can be obtained, and a
thousand other things that they want
to know. It is an error to suppose that
only the editors and reporters supply
news worth reading. The skillful adj
vertiser furnishes a good share of it,
and, if there are any readers who fail
to look over the advertising columns
of their paper, they miss good deal
of information that would prove valua-
BILE to them.

A Bright Boy.

An editor of an Illinois paper took a
boy to learn the printers trade. He
was careful to impress upon his mind
the necessity of obedience and of do
ing everything thoroughly. After pre-
liminary instructions the lad was given
stick and rule and was taken to case
to wrestle with piece of copy. The
editor went off to a political conven-
ton. The other boys in the Office paid
but little attention to the new recruit,
and when the editor returned half
day later he found the boy down upon
his knees seaching for something on
the floor.
What's the matter, Johnny?' said he.
why I dropped type before I got
the first line set" replied the boy, "and
You told me before went to work that
whenever 1 dropped a type 1 must stop
and pick it up before 1 did anything

founded type all day and can't find it.

wedded Among the Clouds.
Annapolis Dispatch 70 tho N. Y.Sun.

Society circles here are agog over
the recently discovered marriage Of
Miss Clara Hamilton, aged seventeen.
daughter Of William T. Hamilton, to
Mr.. John Stanhope. aged twenty, which
was solemnised in August last. The
Stanhopes and the Hamiltons, live near
each other in Hagerstown, and it was
known that young Mr.. Stanhope had
been paying attentions to Miss Hamil,
ton. The governor objected some
months ago to tho young mans atten-
tons, and the intercourse between the
young couple was apparently broken
off. About the middle OF An-
gust, however, the lovers planned
an elopment. Young Stanhope went
to Westminster. Carroll county, and OBJ
tanned o license and the services of q
methodist Clergyman, the Rev. DR..
Murray, who agreed to marry them. It
was arranged that the ceremony should
be performed at Pennmar, summer
resort on the summit Of the Blue Ridge
mountains, few miles from Hagers-
town. One day pleasure party went
to Pennmar, Miss Hamilton being Of
the number, and on her arrival she was
met by Stanhope and the clergyman.
They went up the side Of the mountain
to High rock, said to be the most ele-
waited point in the State, being more
than two thousand feet above the sea.
Here among the clouds the marriage
was solemnized, and the young couple
returned to their companions as though
nothing Of Importance had occurred.
Since that time they have lived at their
respective homes. It is said that the
fact of the. marriage was discovered by
friend OF Governor Hamilton. who
happened to look over the records at
the courthouse. Mrs. Stanhope has
been kept closely secluded at her
fathers country house since the discov-
cry, but it is probable that the stern
parent Will have to relent.. The groom
is son of Mr.. Lewis g. Stanhope,
superintendent of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, and is clerk in Balti-
more commission house. The brid's
family, which is one of the oldest and
wealthiest In Maryland, are very indig-
nant. It is said the bride will have

The study Of Thunder storms.

Studies Of special phenomena have
become very popular since it has beer
found that valuable results are otter
obtained in this way. Recently
French gentleman M. Lespiault, by
name--has been studying the subject
of thunder storms in the Gironde, and
comes to the curious conclusion that
valleys are more struck by hail than
hills or table land. It seems that
certain depth below the clouds is neces'
sary for the formation Of the fall OF
hail to occur without obstacle. Fur
Their, the direction of the valleys traver'
sed have marked influence on the
direction OF the clouds, though they
only cause momentary DETECTION, and
the clouds, after following them Ger.
tain time, are carried on in the gen.
eral direction of the vertical move
ment. For example, if valley be in
the axis of the zone Of hail, or little
inclined to that axis, the hail clouds
seem to be carried along that valley as
dead leaves are carried along by the
wind in trench. If the valley be
subdivided by mountain spur into
two others, the hail cloud also divides
and the two secondary valleys are raw
aged in their turn, at least to the ex-
tent in which they are within the zone
of hail. Valleys lying across this zone
have also an influence, though less
marked. When the clouds pass over
them they show tendency to descend
and to spread out on the two sides OF
the zone, SO that the zone is broader
over valleys than over plateaux, and
the ravages are often greater. 1t might
have been added that this was to be ex-
pected, since storms and air currents
of all kinds generally follow the de-
pressions of the earth, being guided
by the hills to very great extent.

A StOne.thr0wiDg Ghost.


There is reported to be mysterious
visitor hanging about the corner Of
Frederick and Fayette streets, who fol
the past week has been throwing stones
and coal in the most reckless manner
Where the missiles come from is q
conundrum. The spirit" commenced
its work during the latter part of last
week, and throws stones at a stated
period. The morning seances began
about 10 o'clock and continued for an
hour. Then in the afternoon stones
began to fly soon after 3 o'clock and
continued through the night as late as
1 o'clock. On Monday last the stones
fell so frequently that it alarmed the
neighborhood. The principle place
where they seemed to drop was in the
rear of saloon on Frederick street,
next to the corner. On Tuesday the
servant girl was struck on the arm by q
falling stone and severely injured.
Windows of Fayette street were next
broken; the skylsght in J. A. Ives
machine shop, No. II Frederick street,
was smashed, and other windows Of the
shop facing the yard were damaged.
The fremen of No. truck house de-
termined to ferret out the mystery, and
for some nights laid upon the house
tops or frequented the yards in the vi
cinity, but still the stones fell and the
thrower could not be discovered. The
police were applied to, and Sergeant
Nippard and two officer were detailed
for duty at the place. The officer spent
the night on the roof, but the stones
flew around as usual. They came the
next night, but again failed to unearth
"the ghost" While the officers were
watching, Wednesday night, and Ser
geant Nippard was talking to Mr.. James
H. Bollman, the engineer at MIR. Ives
shop, stone came flying through one
of the windows and just missed the
Sergeant, who made an investigation,
but found, as usual, nothing.

Ii II Sol IfS0, Why Z

A eeatleman passing through San
Marcos recently said that there was lees
building going on here than at any point
OF its size on tho |. l. G. N. We are
ashamed to hear Of such an assertion,
and fear wc will have, to acknowledge
the corn. The reason 10 obvious--San
Marcos citizens have asked such high
prices for property that they brighten
reasonable buyers from settling here.
There was time when lots were given
away to make the town grow afterward
they were held at reasonable prices, but
now they are as high as in cities Of ten
times it's size. 1t is the positive fact
that manufacturers have turned their
backs upon San Marcos because prices
of sites were SO great, and not o grain OF
encouragement was offered to bring two
or three hundred thousand dollars here
and make this an imrostant centre OF
manufacturing enterprise. This year
wealthy capitalists declined to purchase
business lots on account OF the prices
asked, If citizens desire the town to
grow, and property to retain u maximum
value, be- reasonably liberal, work FOR
the water works, stir up tho factory
question. induce manufacturers and cap
italsts to come here from abroad, have
some one build a summer resort hotel
for invalids and pleasure seekers; let
the corporation bo willing TO donate or
lease on easy terms grounds for public,
business. or. educa tional enterprises OF
magnitude and Importance; put all the
roads surrounding San Marcos in perfect
repair and keep them so let the spirit
of energy permeate the town. and soon
il will not be said thar San Marcos is
having less building done than other
towns on The railroad, . '.'."

Of the word in very many respects
has been attained. Such being the
fact, We are at loss ~ conceive why
any ono should be opposed to thu
work. The truth is what ought "a
concern us more than all things else
The being welded blindly to any
mere form Of words, however yener'
able, is but little above the pagan idea
Of worshipping stocks and stones.
We want the Bible Us nearly M pos
sible ut first hands, with as few Of the
mistakes Of fallible or designing par,
ties as possible. It has been in the
hands Of thopriesthood for many con.
turtles, md they are too well known
to DO above suspicion. The idea that
better version than that Of King
James, made some two hundred and
fifty years ago under the auspices Of
the corrupt and bigoted established
church Of England, and in view Of
the progress which has since been
made in all branches Of learning
bearing on the subject is supremely
ridiculous g.. ...H.
The new version comes from the
hands OF a considerable number OF the
most learned and respectable men of
the prescntday, representing all Chris
tan denominations. Who can doubt
but the result Of their lnbors will be
to "winnow the wheat from the chalf
to an extent unknown before, and to
give us as nearly as possible the real
writings of the Bibleas they appeared
in tho original tongues. That is Just
what all men at the present day,
whether believers or skeptics, want.
In particular we should think every
man, who believes in the
divine authority Of the Bible, wants
Just as little admixture in its pages Of
human folly or fraud as may be.
Protestant denominations at least,
The very genius Of whose being is
II
founded in doubt, free inquiry and
Investigation, can not afford longer to
swallow blind authority in matter of
his kind. They will not do SO.
Hence we rejoice at the new version,
