Old John Robinson, with his circus and
menagerIe will be here next Tuesday. Our
exchanges say thu show is one OF the best
that has ever come South. The veteran
proprietor has had the experience of nearly
sixty years, during which period he has
ever maintained a foremost place in his
profession. The experience OF the past
warrants the conclusion that everything ad-
vertised in the bills Will BE- strictly adhere
to, and there are really many things Of an
exceedingly marvellous character. Elison's
great problem OF the Electric Light will be
satisfactorily solved by those who visit the
show, which by this wonderful agency is
rendered st night as bright as day.

Read and Profit By it.

We commend the following to our friends
who do not believe in advertising:
There are sGme business men who seldom
advertise, and they are always complaining
about their trade. They treat advertising
as the improvidcnt, shiftless fellows do
roofs. When the sun shines, they do not
need patching and when it rains they can
not patch them. When trade is fair they
SEE no need of advertising; and when trade
is dull they say they cannot afford to adver-
tise Moral Repair a leaIy roof when it
is fair weather, and advertise in all seasons.
Advertising pays all parties interested better
than any other commercial investment.

John @. Burch.

Mi. JOHN &. Burch, secretary of the United
States Senate, who died on the 2Sth ult.. at
his residence in Washington, was born in
Georgia and educated at Yale. He adopted
the profession of the law, which he practiced
at Chattanooga, Tenn. where he became a
prominent member Of the democratic party.
On tie breaking out of the war he joined the
Confederate army and was one of the staff of
Gen. Pillow, with the rank of colonel. At
the close of the war he settled at Nashville
and resumed the practice of his profession,
which he continued until 1869, when, with
money lent him by ex-president johnson, he
purchased a controlling interest in the Nash
vile Americdn, the leading democratic news
paper IN Tennessee. The object of the pur-
chase was to advocate the election Of the ex-
President to the United States senate. MIR.
Johnson was elected, but lived less than
self for the vacant seat, but the governor of
Tennessee appointed David Al. Key, since
postmaster general. Until 1879 Col. Burch
continued to edit the american. In that year
the United States senate having become dem
~ocratic, he was chosen. in place of Mr.. Geo.
Gorham, its secretary. He discharged we'll
the duties Of this post, not less to the satisfac-
ton OF the republicans than the democrats.
Indeed, he was very popular with the repub-
licans of his state, although SO active on the
democratic side. In Washington society, too,
he was much liked, being a man of genial
manners. The vice-President yesterday sent
to the sergeant alarms a dispatch Of regret
and sympathy with Col. Burch's family.
