Obtrusive Advertising.

1t depends largely upon what
it is that is advertised-th the temper
and feeling of the public toward
the subject matter, whether the
advertiser can afford to steal in
upon the readers attention by the
use of some favorite quotation-or
riding in u pom some current topic
of discussion. Some advertisers
have run against fatal snag try
ing to initiate the method of DIR.
Bulls Baby Syrup, Cough Syrup
etc. in this class Of advertising,
meeting with disgust and rebuke.
The fact is the advertiser, when he
enters in this way the presence of
the reader unbiddcn, must carry
with him his own welcome, this
unceremOnious manner of APP
proach pre-supposes certain ia
voritism. A popular pastor of
one of our city churches recently
made allusion from the pulpit to
DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup as illus
trating how dear medicines even
become to us when known to al
leviate the ails and ills of life.
There must be truth and merit
when the advertiser can shake
hands with such high company -

Reecher,s .Sensatien.,
HE COMES OUT IN FAVOR OF the
CATHOLIC CHURCH.


CATHOLIC CHURCH.
New YORK April Aha deep
hush fell upon Plymouth Church,
and every ear was strained, when
Beecher said hat he would relate
an incident of which he had never
spoken before. He remarked
pIayfulIy that he would now &c |
it confidentially There came to
me, he said, member of my own
church, the mother OF young
woman, who said her daughter had
become facinated with the Roman
Catholic Church and wanted 20
unite with that church. / said to
her, Tell your child to wait one
year, until her mind and judgment
are settled and il at the end Of that
time she shall find that she has
grown neal er God and TO heaven
through that church, let her come
to mo. and | will take her by the
hand and carry her to the door,
and at the end Of the year she was
still anxious to enter that church.
anu odt COWN dEu WIDtS y reuter-
to an h0nored Catholic pastor Of
this city and said: This lamb has
found greener pastures in your
fields than in mine" She joined
the Catholic Church and is to-day
a happy Christian girl in that COM
munity.
Any one could have heard pin
drop while Mr.. Beecher was tell
ing this, and that there was what
is generally called "a sensation"as
he added, I'D do it again if 1t were
necessary, for when | speak of I'M
ity of all that believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ / mean it. l don't
believe in external unity, but do
believe in internal unity" In
this connection the preacher also
said: II would rather ride in the
most ragged third-class car that
was ever put on rail that would
take me nearer home than the
most luxurious parlor car that ev-
er was built if il would take me
further from home"

Senator Davis ON Agricult-
IRE,

Senator DAVIS is appointed on
the Agricultural committee which
is an appreciation of his usefulness
in that branch of law-making.
In a recent speech on agriculture
archaeological surveys in his State.
Mr.. Davis said:
Mr. President, | hope to see and
intend to aid our whole country,
and especially the South. to take
an advanced position in agricul-
ture, commerce. and manufacture
ing; also in developing their
mineral resources.
The country or man who stands
still while the world moves on
will be left behind, or, as the rail-
road men say, standing upon the
side track. while the go-anead or
express train, with live, acteve
men ana freight upon it, moves
on and takes the prize.
1t is believed good, careful, and
complete geological survey of Vir-
ginia and West Virginia will
show more mineral resources than
all Europe. | feel sure this great
country of ours, especially Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, has
great future. Information, en-
terprise and capital are essential
to development and prosperity.
A country or State, like a corpora
ton, firm, or an individual, to
prosper must be progressive. |
would respect and protect with
equal care State and national Gov
eminent. L cannot believe with
some Democrats in extreme State
righs, nor can l follow many Re-
pubIicans in centering nearly all
power in the national Government.
l am for letting the dead Issues
rest and for cultivating the living
ones. favor fair, just, and liv-
ing tariff, that will protect equally
the people and manufacturing in
terest. l am for an effort to regain
our ocean carrying trade; we
formerly had rs, now II per cent.
| am for proper degree of econ
omy in all expenditure of public
money, and for progress and pros
perlty of our entire country and
people. / would encourage and
foster education, agriculture, man
ufactures, and commerce, and do
whatever else will make our
whole people and country intelli-
gent, prosperous, rich, happy, and
great. We should recognize this
is 1881, and not 1860.

A CHARACTER SKETCH.

The mule seemed pensive, even sad
AS if by conscience pricked
But when they came to share his woes
He raised objeetions-kicBed.
The cat came up TO sympathize,
With NEW and gentle purr;
Alas she got within his reach,
notwithstanding and fur.
The dog, in pity, neared hlm to
Alleviate his care;
He tried to pass around him once,
But-sausage meat and hair.
And John, the honest farmer boy,
Who had the beast in charge,
Tried recklessly to harness him
His funeral was large
Oh, trihing were the causes which
His fexile legs unfurled;
And many were the quadrupeds
That sought another world.
He never did decent thing;
He WASH worth a ducat;
He kicked and kicked until he died,
Aud then he kicked the bucket,
