How to Advertise.

4 Hartford, Conn, man was denouncing
newspaper advertising to crowd of listeners;
s'Last week" said he, ''I had an umbrella
stolen from the vestibule of the church. 1t was
a gift, and valuing it very highly, spent dou-
BILE the worth in advertising, but l have not re-
covered it"
''How did you word the advertisement"
asked merchant.
''Here it Isl" said the man, producing slip
cut from newspaper.
The merchant took it and read:
''Lost from the vestibule OF the -- church
last Sunday evening, black silk umbrella.
The gentleman who took it will be handsomely
rewarded by leaving it at San Fernando
street."
''Now," said the merchant, "I am liberal
advertiser, and have always found it paid me
we'll. A great deal depends upon the manner
in which an advertisement is put. Let us try
for your umbrella again, and If you do not
then acknowledge that advertising pays, L Will
purchase you o new one.
The merchant then took slip OF paper from
his pocket and wrote;
"If the man who was seen to take an UNI
brella from the vestibule of the -- church
last Sunday does not wish to get into trouble,
and have stain cast upon the Christian char
acter which he values so highly, he will re-
turn it at once to No. - San Fernando street.
He is well known"
This duly appeared in the paper and the fol-
lowing morning the man was astonlshed when
he opened the front door of his residence. On
the porch lay at least dozen umbrellas OF all
shades and sizes that had been thrown in from
the sidewalk, while the front YARD was literal
ly paved with umbrellas. Many of them had
notes attached to them saying that they had
been taken by mistake, and begging the loser
to keep the little affair quiet.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
ecessitatiug Surgical Operation-Aov-
ing Neither Attempts to Take Pair
of shears from Her Child.
PARENTS BE CAREFUL.

Domestic accidents are common to women, and
some of them are very serious. Mrs. Warner, OF
South Rondout, Ulster Co., N. Y. some weeks ago
attempted to take from her child pair of shears
with which it was playing. slight struggle en-
sued in which the point of the shears entered Mrs.
Warmers left eye, entirely destroying the sight.
Her family physician di what he could, but intense
ly painful Inflammation arose, which, by sympathy,
threatened the loss Of the other eye. Total Blind
ness to a woman having the care CT household is
an irr retrievabe calamity In this strait Mrs. W
applied to the well-known and skillful Surgeon, Dr.
DaUid Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y, who removed
the injured eye by very successful operation, set
ting aside all danger of further harm to the sight of
the other eye, but. owing to pain and mental dis
tress, her system needed tonic and restorative
medicine To do this work the Doctor prescribed
"Kennedy's Favorite Remedy which sustained its
reputation and laid sure foundation of health.

No Apologies.
rLippincott's Magazine

Apologies for poor dinners are generally oat
of place But when a lady has forgetfu1 hus-
band, who, without warning, brings home a
dozen guests to sit down to q plain family din
ner for three or four, it is not in human nature
to keep absolute silence. What to say and
how to say it, form the problem. Mrs. Tucker
the wife of Judge Tucker, of williamsburg
solved the problem years ago, She was the
daughter or niece Il am uncertain which, of
Sir Peyton Skinwith, and celebrated for her
beauty, wit, ease and grace of manner. Her
temper and tact were put to the proof one court
day, when tho Judge brought with him the ac-
custonned half-score or more of lawyers, for
whom not the slightest preparation had been
made, the Judge having quite forgotten to re-
mind his wife that it was court-day, and she
herself, strange to tell, having overlooked the
fact.
The dinner was served with elegance, and
Mrs. Tucker made herself very charming. Up
on rising to leave the guests TO their wine, she
said:
"Gentlemen, you have dined to-day with
Judge Tucker; promise me that you VIII all
dine tomorrow with me"
This was all her apology, whereupon the gen,
tlemen a.l swore that such wife was beyond
price. The Judge then explained the sltuatloh'
and the next day there was noble banquet

THE North Carolina Legislature ordered a
roster of the States soldiers who were in
the Confederate service during the late war
to be prepared, and it will soon be pub
lshed The Wilmington Star says It'll true,
first, that North Carolina sent more troops
to the war than any other Southern State,
according to population; second, that North
Carolina sent more troops to the war than
any other Southern State, whatsoever; and,
third, that the number sent actually was ov-

the State prior to 1851 was only 112, 800.

ELECTION, MONDAY, MAR. 8
FOR MAYOR,
CHARLES f. LIBBY
The Mayoralty.

The lines are now set for our annual con-
test over the municipal government and vot-
ers can clearly see the exact problem which
they are asked to solve, and that is, ''Will
you have Charles F. Libby or John w. Deer
ing for Mayor during the next year?' No
other result can come than the choice of one
or other of these candidates. No one, for
instance, seriously believes that the candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Ames or Mr.. Littlefeld has any
other than an indirect bearing on The ques-
tion. Mr.. Libby is the Republican candi-
date and Mr.. Deering is the Democratic
nominee. Votes for Mr.. Ames will general
ly be cast by those who would otherwise
vote for Mr.. Deering, while votes for Mr..
Littlefeld will be given, in the main, by
those who would otherwise vote for the Re-
publican nominee. So that those who vote
for Mr.. Littlefeld are practically giving their
support for the Democratic nominee, and
ought to realize exactly what they are doing.
1t is an unpleasant and ungracious thing
to make personal criticisms on candidates.
As both the principal nominees are we'll
known citizens, it is not necessary to praise
the one or denounce the other. We invite a
careful consideration by each voter from his
own knowledge of the comparative merits
of the two candidates in respect of charac-
ter, attainments and experience, and let ev
cry man decide, upon his own conscience.
which of the two is most suitable to be
chief magistrate of the city.
But apart from the consideration of per-
sonal fitness it is fair to consider the sur
roundings and backing of the two men. Mr..
Libby is the Republican can didate and will
have the support Of the better elements of
the city both Republican and Democratic. If
elected he will be in accord with the coun-
Gil, which in any event will be strongly Re-
publican, and the city government will go on
harmoniously and efficiently. On the con-
trary, Mr.. Deering has the support of the
lower elements of the Democratic party,
and will naturally be bound to them and
Influenced by them. If elected, he would
be out of accord with the city council and,
as he is man of strong will and aggressive
temperament who likes to have his own way
more than his share of the time, antagon-
ism would speedily arise and the time and
energy which ought to be given to city
affairs would be wasted in unseemly wran-
giles and alterations. It is the duty of
each man to act in political matters as shall
seem to him for the good of the community.
Let this test be applied to the present case
and we have no doubt of Mr.. Libby's cleo
tion by large majority.

the operations of their tariff. Not only are
among them, but the increased revenue OBJ
tanned from imports has caused the old fa-
miliar annual deficit to disappear, and has
brought handsome surplus in its place.
Their Minister of Finance reports TO Parlia-
ment that at no time in the history of the
country were the finances in so good po-
sition. credit so high, and the people more
prosperous, all of which he ascribes to the
protective policy of the Government The
revenue of Canada for the year ending June
1881, was $29, ,635, 900. The expenditures
were $25, 500, 900, making the surplus over
S4,OO0,0 900. For 1870 the amount was $22,-
$4,000, and expenditures for ordinary ex-
penses were $24, ,455, 900. In addition to this
there was large outlay for public works
and the Pacific Railroad. The years of 1878
and 1877 show like figures. Nothing seemed
to increase in the Dominion except the pub
lie debt, until the people were wise enough
to protect themselves by a high tariff. The
price of labor has risen under the tariff. I'm
migrants from Europe have no longer So
great an inducement as formerly to pass over
to the United States, and the Dominion is
beginning to reap an increased benefit from
this source also.
AMERICANS disposed to deprecate the lat
itude of our State trials, as emphasized in
the recent Guiteau case, may derive some
consolation for the humiliation of that long
crucifxion by comparing with its laxity the
sinister repression and secrecy of the pending
State cases in Russia. There score of men
and women, some innocent beyond doubt,
all innocent until proven guilty, are immured
for years in noisome dungeons, and liberated
at the end of dreadful term only to go
singly before a secret tribunal, dominated
by Court influence, and put on trial for their
lives on evidence and testimony that would
not get schoolboy a thrashing in the old
days of birch government. 1t is essential to
the waning power of the Czardom that ter
ribIe examples shall be made of the hapless
culprits who chance to fall into the hands Of
the police. Innocence will be q poor safe
guard in face of the political needs of the
Empire, and the verdicts will, without doubt,
be wholly in keeping with the barbarous
methods heretofore pursued by the Car.

Play.

Play, you think, comes naturally to
puppies, kittens, children, and allyoung
things-yes, if they lead natural lives.
But shut your kitten, for week, up in
box, without much light or air, or
even cotton reel to roll about, and see
how much it will play when it is at last
set free. Play is the voluntary
exercise of all our faculties under sense
of freedom; where we exert ourselves
because we like. and not because we
must, that power is developed by excr-
cise--and exercise only. Il is. in fact,
branch of education that is very much
neglected. = Macmillan Magazine.
