About Advertising.

Half the business men visited by
newspaper agents and asked for adver-
tisements consider the newspaper men
as kind of infiiction of Providence,
which, like the itch, must take certain
course before being cured. We wish to
convince all such erroneous thinkers
that they are wrong. The newspaper,
instead of being sort of visitation
from the lower world. is public 'neces
sity, and for the public good. They, in
stead of dead-beating their way in the
world, live from money hard-earned,
and for which they frequently pay, in
one way or another, two hundred cents
for dollar Business men have made
fortunes, have risen from poverty to op-
ulence, simply from the benefits of the
newspapers across their way. The mon
ey the newspapers make is handled by
the men who patronize with their busi-
ness advertisements. We have fire.
quently had men tell us: "We never ad-
vertise. It's too much like throwing
away money" On observing their busi-
ness, We invariably see their molasses
barrel leaking, their dry goods covered
with dust, their sugar filled with flies
their scales rusty, their hands dirty
their finger nails unclean, their pants
patched, their customers few, and their
success failure. They hobble along in
the world slowly, and are not the men
who rise from poverty and obscurity to
riches and eminence. Show rs man
who advertises extensively and we will
show you man who has the qualities
essential to business success. The ad.
vertisements placed in papers are like
the kindheartedness of youth-bearing
fruit at first and reaching into the years
when age comes on apaee. Then never
tell us advertising does not pay. Drones
and ignoramuses only advocate such
views,

Live 1t Down.

Has your life bitter sorrow?
Live it down.
Think about bright tomorrow
Live it down.
You will find it never pays
Just TO sit wet-eyed and Gaze
On the grave of vanished days
Live it down.
Is disgrace your CALLING burden?
Live 1t down.
You can win brave hearts guerdOn-
Live it down.
Make your life so free from blame
That the luster of your name
Shall hide all the olden shame
Live it down.
Has your heart secret SORROW?
Live it down.
Do not water it with tears,
Do not feed it with your fears,
Do not nurse it thro' long years
Live it down.
Have you made some sinful errors
Live It down.
Do not hide your face in terror
Live 1t down.
Look the world square in the eyes,
Go ahead, as one who tries
To be honored ere he dies
Live it down.

WHEN a man of such high integrity
in Mormondom as Bishop John Sharp
ventures the opinion that the work of
Utah Commission will result in the abo-
lition of polygamy, it may be taken for
granted that change has come over the
spirit of the Mormens, and that in spite
of threats and rawlings they have agreed
to submit to the inevitable progress of
civilization in Utah. Bishop Sharp,
though himself a polygamist, claims
that thare are many Mormons who es-
chew this practice, though they will de-
fend it even after its abolition by the
power of the government. They will
submit because they know that they
cannot cope with the United States gov
ernment and that it would be useless
piece of work for them to resist it. 1t
is evident that even the Mormons now
concede that polygamy is doomed, and
that not even their fanaticism can stay
its determination.

Mr.. Blaine illustrates a Point.

Wash. Cor. Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
Business called me to ex-Secretary
Blaine's house the other day, and in the
course of conversation he spoke of the
annoyances to which the Speaker Of
any legislative body is subject, and how
necessary it is that one should be not
only-a thorough parliamentarian, but
very clear headed and even tempered
81 once knew" said he, "down in Au-
gusta, Maine, a man by the name of
Pike. He was Speaker of the Lever
House. He was very able man, but
dreadfully crotchety at times. A legis-
lative body, you know, Is like a school.
The Speaker must keep the reins drawn
tightly or he will lose all control, and
the members will commence throwing
| spit-balls at each other, metaphorically
speaking. Well, one day the House got
in dreadful snarl. The imp of perver-
sity seemed to have taken possession of
them all. The whole day had been spent
in dilatory motions on one side,plentiful-
ly interspersed with chatting and abuse
| from the other. Pike, who was nearly
frantic with rage, still preserved calm
exterior. At last his patience gave way,
and pounding with gavel until par
tial quiet had been restored, he exclaim-
cd: 1t has been moved and seconded
that the House rdjourn; !all in favor OF
that notion" etc. No one had made
such proposition, and there were but
two feeble eyes. "Those opposed,
shouted the Speaker. And a perfect
chorus went up that fairly shook the
chamber. But Pike was not disconcert
ed. "The ayes have it, and the House
is adjourned" "You know" continued
Mr.. Blaine, in his instructive manner
"that when body finishes its delibera
tions it adjourns until some particular
time. Aware of this facta tall member
from Aroostook arose in his seat. ant
pointing his loug, bony finger in Pikei
direction, exclaimed: ave adjourn, MI
Speaker, to meet again when?" The an
i. swer came with crushing promptness
81 don't givea - If you never NEE
Il again"

THE demonstration attending the
meeting of the national encampment of
Grand Army of the Republic in Balti-
more Wednesday of last week, was one
the greatest ever seen in that city. The
city was crowded with people from all
parts of the country. The grand parade
of Grand Army posts, state militia and
visiting militia brought out twelve thou
sand, making it one of the greatest pa
rades ever seen in Baltimore. Presi
dent Arthur, accompanied by several
members of the Cabinet, review
ed the parade, with Gen. Sherman and
other prominent men, from the City
Hall portico. At night there was a
gathering of over $4,000 people at Camp
Agnus, where there was gala time.
Entertainment was furnished for all
who came. Atnight there were speech
es by several prominent citizens and Wis
itors, and grand display of fireworks.

THE French vital statistics for 1880
have just been published. The births
were 92O, the figure showing steady
-decrease-in fact the only year in recent
times which made worse showing be-
ing being that after the war with
Germany The illegitimate births-6S,-
227-are increasing as steadily. The
deaths were S57,3S7, large increase,
while the census shows that the urban
population, among which the death rate
is higher than in the country districts,
is growing larger. The marriages were
I279,OS5, which, as recent years go, is not
80 bad a showing, though sadly below
the 100000 of few years ago.

A Curious Joke.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger.
Gen. Hswley did not set up too high
standard of journalism when he said
that an honorable man was "just as
much bound to tell the truth in news
paper as he would be if under OATH y
But it must have appeared altogether
too high standard for the editor of a
Washington paper, who insinuated in
his paper that certain congressman and
llow-journalists had been bribed in the
whisky interest, and then testified that
he knew nothing about the matter, and
only published it "as joke" Jokers of
this are not qualified for newspaper
work. They should be sent to aonther
kind of hard labor or a lunatic asylum.

LAND in grain-growing parts of Eng
land is falling off in value. A small
estate in one of the eastern counties,
which four years ago was valued at
sl25,00O, was put up at auction recently
and the highest price offered for it was
S5S,OO0. 1t comprises 400 acres, and was
brought in by the trustees. 1t is said
that in the same part of England much
arabic land is running to waste for want
of capital to pay for the labor which it
requires. Ne farming except grazing
and dairy farming is said now to pay
for the outlays.

MINNEAPOLIS mills are now grinding
California wheat, which makes excellent
-four. The berry is larger than the Min
nesota. 1t is stated that California
wheat can be placed in the elevators OF
the mills at Minneapolis at a much
lower price than home wheat, which is
very doubtful.
