Reasons for Not Advertising.

Rufe Shoemaker, of the Grass Valley,
(Cal.) TidingS, gives the following
eight good reasons why people should
not advertise:
l. Advertising costs money. The
outlay for the advertisement itself is
generally very small, and the sum spent
in advertising is never missed by bus
mess man. But If a man sdvertises be
has to buy new goods all the time, pay
big freight bills, and keep q large NAM
Der of clerks.
2. The liberal advertiser is sure to
get tired every day; his advertisement
makes him and his place Of business
known to % many people, who GENE
around 10 trade with him

Caught BY a Bear in a Cave.
Augusta (Me.) Journal.

Henry A. Hall, one of our most pop
ular letter carriers, is in New Bruins
wick, enjoying short vacation. Mr..
Hall is quite Nimrod, and with rifle
and fishing tackle is making havoc
among the deizens of the forests and
lakes of New Brunswick. From pri-
vate letter we are permitted to make the
following extracts: II can not close
this letter without telling of little close
rub l have had since here, though you
may think am exercising Yankee
privilege of Dragging. Last Monday,
when out in the forest about twenty
miles from town. came across a camp
of Frenchmen, where hired young
boy to guide me into the woods. About
two hours after we started We came to
a cave, and 1 sent the boy in out of
curiosity. He called out there were
some bear cubs inside. Just as he did
so L heard a crashing and growing be-
side me, and had just time to bring nay
trusty rifle to my shoulder and fire at
black mass that tumbled past me, and
as it plunged into the mouth of the
cave [ realized bruin had come back.
L don't know how L ever did it, but 1
have an indistinct recollection of drop
ping my gun, drawing my bowie knife,
and jumping into the dense darkness
of the cave. 1t is as dream-horrible
and like nightmare in which every
thing is mixed. 1 remember plunging
my knife again and again into the body,
the warm jet of blood, that tearing of
claws across my body, the hot breath
in my face, close embrace-then dark
nessl When 1 revived 1 was lying
outside the cave and the Frenchmen
were cutting up the monster, which
weighed, when dressed, $50 pounds,
Petit Pierre, my boy guide, had been
in the cave during my combat, and,
when the bear fell on me in his death
struggle, he crawled out of the cave
and ran out to camp. I am all right
or shall be when the marks of the brute's
claws are healed. / shall bring his
skin back with me, and I wish 1 could
give you piece of the beef"

lar objects, it will be entirely feasible to
provide for those objects by approx rate
legislation. 1t Is impossible, for example,
that delay until the assembling of the
next Congress, to make additional provision
for the. Mississippi river Improvements,
might be attended with serious conse-
quences; such should appear to be the
case, q just bill relating to that subject
would command my approval. This leads
me to offer a suggestion which trust will
commend itself to the wisdom of Congress-.
Is it not advisable that grants of considera-
BILE sums of money for diverse. and indepen.
dent schemes of internal improvement
should be made the subjects OF separate
and distinct legislative enactments? 1t will
scarcely be gainSaid, even by those WHIT
favor the most liberal expenditures for such
purposes as are sought to be accomplished
by what is commonly called the River and
Harb0r bill, that the practice OF grouping
in such a bill appropriations for great di-
versity of objects widely separated, either
founded, and whether It be or not, the adj
yantages which would be likely to ensue
from the adoption of the course j have rec
commended may, perhaps, be more enectu-
ally attained by another, which respect
fully submit to Congress as an alternative
proposition.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE C0NSTI-
TUITION.
It Is provided by the constitutions of four
teen of our States that the Executive may
disapprove any item or items or Dill APP
propriating money, whereupon the parts OF
the bill approved shall be law, and the
part disapproved shall fail to become law
unless repassed, according to the proyis-

over the veto of the Executive. The
States wherein some such provision as the
foregoing Is part of the fundamental law,
are Alabama, California, Colorado, Flori-
da, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missou-
ri, Nebraska, New jersey New York,
Pennsylvania, Texas, and West virginia.
/ commend to your careful consideration
the question whether an amendment Of the
Federal constitution In the particular indi-
Gated would not afford the best remedy for
what is often a grave embarrassment both
to members OF Congress and to the Execu-
tive, and Is sometimes serious public mis-
chief.
