How CRY MERCHANTS DETERMINE Gus
TONERS CREDTT.-Every established local
newspaper receives subscriptions from large
cities, which puzzle the publisher to account
for, but which the New York Times lately
throws some light upon m the following:
"a wholesale grocer-in this city who became
rich in the business, says his rule was when
he sold bill of goods on credit to immedi-
atty subscribe for local paper of his debtor.
Sc long as his customers advertised iber-
ally and vigoursly, he rested, but as soon as
he began to contract his advertising space,
he took the fact as evidence that there was
tiolble ahead, and invaribly went for his
debt. Said he: the man who is too poor
to make his business known is too poor to
do business. !"
The withdrawing an advertisement is evil
dence of weakness O. (which business men are
not slow to act upon. Humboldt Argus.

'sWhat do you think of the Parallel road scheme ?" asked a Standard reporter yester- day of a gentleman who is in good situa- ton to know what is going on in railroad circles, and who is withal 8 pretty shrewd observer. s'I'll tell you just what think of it,'' was the reply. 'I don't think it will amount to anything" ''How about the Van derbilt parallel 2' the reporter inquired. q think he means it simply for scare" said the gentleman. ''You know the Boston and Albany wants to lease the New York, New Haven and Hartford road. If this was done Vanderbilt could control the eastern freight business better than he can now I think he intends to use the Parallel road scheme to bend down the New York, New Haven and Hartford until he can pick it up better. The managers of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road I think would be glad to lease their road for ten per cent. or even nine. If it were guaranteed by corporation like the Boston and Albany it would give them splendid personal investment, and they would be glad to get out of the management of their road. They would not care then how many Parallels were put through. This man Clark is the only good railroad man they have. Mir. Watrous is not railroad man. Mir. William D. Bishop is out of 1t for good He has money enough. Is other business is all that he wants to attend to. He has too ness, and it is rolling up all the time He is getting a large amount of real estate on his hands and it requires good deal of atten- tion. Vanderbilt does not mean business If he did there would not be so much known about it. n- B7Td0eD0rt StGndGrd

Dying as He Lived, in Wiciedness.
 FREDERICK, Nov. 11.-Feix Nun shower was executed this morning at 12 o'clock for the murder of his cousin, James Wetzell, near Emmettsburg, in this county, on the 5th of August 1879. He was brought to the scaffold by Sheriff Hartsock, Deputy sh riff staup and Dr. Ingle, of the Episcopal de- nomination of this city, who has been his spiritual adviser during the last two months. About four minutes on the scaffold were oc- cupied in prayer and the protesting of his innocence by Munshower Immediately be- fore the drop fell he remarked: 1T was a wicked man, but die innocent of the crime for which sacrifice my life this day.' His family refused to receive his body, and he will be buried in the poor lot at Mountevue Hospital by the county authorities. On Wednesday last Sheriff Hartsock found con- cealed in book in his cell a wire of corset, sharpened, with which it is presumed he was to cheat the gallows. During the execution the Frederick rifemen stood guard under the command of Brevet Captain E. McSherry. The prisoner 8 week ago stated to one of the attaches of the jail that he would die as he 1 had lived. His past life was one of wicked ness and his jail life the same.

The DO litical situation is still the chief topic here on the streets. A representative of Virginia of the old school expressed the sentiments of many when he remarked to-day: You young men do not feel the defeat so much as those of us who passed through the war. It means, sir, the last flicker of Confederate spirits. It means Confederate defeat. :" The State in referring to certain alleged dis orderly conduct of negroes since election concludes an editorial this afternoon as fol- lows
