Considerable improvement has been re
Gently made at the yard of the new Balti-
more steamship wharf. The ground has
been leveled off, and all the low places filled
up so that no water can accumulate, and
he entire premises cleaned and put in thor
oueh order. A very neat and comfortable
office has been erected in the plsce Of the
dilaDiisted structure formerly used by the
clerks, the sheds have been whitewashed,
additions been made to the storage or
shelter capacity. aud, IN fact, complete
metsmorphosis has occurred when we re-
member what the place was six months sgO.
Everything is arranged with the view of
facilitating the discharging and reception of
freight, ard there is 10 liability OF getting
goods mixed. Messrs. James B. West 4
Co, the agents of the line here, have dis
played ENTERPRISE in making these improve

an RmclenfOmcfaI.

The officers of the steamers that ply the
Altsmaha and Ocmulgee rivers speak in
very complimentary terms of Captain Lock-
of the dredge and snag boat w. I. Near
thur, and of the many improvements he ha;
made in those rivers, rendering navigation
easy and less dangerous. At the point
known as "Tiger's Leap" on the Ocmulgee
there was a short bend in the river which,
at q low stage OF the water, was almost im-
possible to pass This has been remedied by
cutting through the bank of the river to al
adjoining lake which empties into the river
lower down ard gives plenty of water and a
straight course. Hubbard's shoals have also
been greatly improved, and many logs and
other distractions have been removed all
along the rivers.

a study Of Advertising.


The intelligent newspaper reader early
discovers that the interest of any journal is
by no means confined to what is commonly
described as its "resding matter" The
thoughtless person may throw away sup
plement, unlocked at beyond the hasty
glance which shows him that 1t is devoted
to advertisements, but the trained observer
recognizes the fact that this department of
the paper deserves examination and will re-
pay study. The local columns record the
events OF the previous day; but no such
record can give the stranger so comprehen-
siVe a view of the city's business and social
activity as is presented in the advertising
depart ment. Since the daily papers of our
large cities began the publication Of Sunday
editions, there has been a grow
ing disposition to make the first
day Of the week the great day
for advertising. This tendency is already
apparent in the cases of the Philadelphia
Times and Press, although neither has long
published Sunday edition; it is more con
spicuOus in Chicago papers, and especially
ia the 1rtbltae'S Sunday edition, which for
years has been famous In the West as an
exceedingly profitable issue; aud 1t is more
marked in the case of the New York Herald.
There is sound reason in this disposition of
advertisers to pAtronize most literally the
Sunday papers. In the first place, they
reach a larger circle of readers; for, as a
rule, papers which appear on every day of
the week publish their largest edition
on Sunday. Then, too, there are not
only more readers than on other
days, but their greater leisure
allows them to peruse the paper more thor
oughly. Many man who finds himself so
pressed for time on week days that he
scarcely gives aglsnce to the advertisements,
will read them with considerable care on his
day of rest. Finally, there is a great saving
Of time aud money to the community in
having one day Of the seven fixed upon by

garding employment, houses, rooms, ETC.
the "small ads" as they are known In the
counting room vernacular. The ''small
ads" in alarge CITY always gravitate to
some one paper, and when once that paper
has come TO be recognized ss their medium,
nothing is more difficult than for rival to
deprive it of its supremacy in this field

ASuccessfuI Marker pirate.

For s me time past Mr.. s. J. Kelly has
been missing various articles from his stall
in the Market, and been unable &c account
for their disappearance, not noticing any
suspicious characters lettering about the
place. On Saturday last he missed a tub of
butter, containing about thirty pounds, and
immediately determined upon investigation.
On inquiry, he ascertained that a cOlored
man had tried to sell It to some Of the res
taurant keepers in the Market basement, but
he was unable to learn the name of the man,
or get any clue to his whereabouts. Should
