A'raiss OF Advertising.

A prominont business firm in one of
our leading cities, who have grown
rich by literally patronizing the
printer, gives to their fellow mer-
chants the following, concerning ad-
vertising,

the art of advertising, and still it re-
mains A marvel to us that there is not

manufacturers and tens OF thousands

Steel NaEls.

There seems to be two erroneous
impressions abroad regarding steel
nails One is that they are much
harder TO cut than iron nails, and the
second that they are not being intro
duced very rapidly, the trade being
very slow to take hold Of them. The
reverse 10 true. The nailers at the
Riverside Iron Works, Wheeling, re-
Gently cut in one week 1854 Kegs of
steel nails. This is the largest out
pot ever made by any factory in the
world working IS hours per week and
making standard weights of nails.
On the other hand, the demand has
more than kept pace with the pro-
duct. 1t in asserted that few articles
have been introduced to the hardware
trade that has won such favor as steel
nails. 1t is asserted that since they
began the manufacture of steel nails
there has been no time that they
were not behind their orders. Thai

by the fact that one OF the Wheeling

Whatever may have been the cause
of the reduced Democratic maj jority in
Tennessee no blame can be attributed
to the gallant men who managed the
campaign. There never was in our
State a more active, watchful, faithful
committee. 1t was no fault of theirs il
Tennessee Democracy was discordant
and rent with bitter ieuds, for they
carried out the expressed will of the
representative of the party, in conven-
ton assembled and directed the cam
paign in obedience to that will, al
though hampcred by all sorts of disad-
vantages and confronted by opposi-
ton unprecedented in the history OF
Tennessee politics. They had arrayed
against them the most powerful ele'
mcnts of wealth and influence in the
State. The rail roads were aroused
the manufacturers were infamed the
laborers were deceived in large mum
hers; the old wings were exhorted ant
all manner of means, honorable anC
dishonorable were brought to bear t
wrench the State from the party o
Jefferson and Jackson. But Tennes
see is still Democratic and Trousdal,
and Hillsman live in the hearts of th'
people. All honor to Tennessee
long live Trousdale and Hillsman.

How Franklin Tested the
Character of Naen.

1t is difficult to speak OF tests of
character without thinking OF Benja-
min Franklin's amusing tale Of. the
Handsome and the Deiormed Leg"
and there il no harm in quoting it,
because, however grotesque, it exem-
plifes the principle OF tests. In it he
describes two sorts of people; those
who habitually dwell on the pleasant
cr circumstances Of the momont, aud
those who have no eyes but for the un-
pleasing ones. He tells how philos-
optical friend took special precautions
TO avoid those persons who being dis
contented themselves, sour the pleas
ures Of society, offend many people,
and make themselves everywhere dis
agreeable. In ordor to discover
pessimist at first sight, he cast about
for al instrument, lie Of course pos
sessed thermometer to test heat, and
q barometer to tell the .air-pressure,
but he had no instrument to test the
characteristic Of which we are speak
ing. After much pondering he hit
upon happy idea. lie chanced 10
have one remarkably handsome leg,
and one that by some accident was
crooked and deformcd, and these he
used for the purpose. Ii stranger
regarded his ugly leg more than his
handsome one he doubted him. If he
spoke Of it and took no notice OF the
handsome leg, the philosopher deter
mined to avoid his further scquaint-
ance. Franklin sums up by saying,
that every one has not this two-logged
instrument, but every one with lit
tie attention may observe the Signs
of carping and fault-fnling disposi.

Solid Union.

The "Solid South" is still sneered at
after the fight is over, by some Repub-
lican papers that cannot take defeat
with tho docency and dignity Of true
soldiers. There was II "solid South" :"
and the DEMOCRAT glories in it, and
to that very "Solid South" the nation
is to-day very largely indebted for its
disinthrallment from the republican
corruptions of the past. We do not
expect that the Republicans should
hold ajollification over our success, but
as long as the success is an assured fact
and evidences on oil sides are cumula-
tive Of the satisfaction which it has
brought to the whole country, it was
reasonable that cessation of mali
cious feeling might take place. The
DEMOCRAT is glad to say that in the
place Of a "Solid South" the country
now has Solid Union. The work OF
regeneration has been accomplished
and without tho "Solid South" the
country to-day, instead OF resting with
renewed hope of deliverance from the
mismansgement of Republican mis-
rule, would be remanded back to the
vassalsge Of years. The people have
ordered it otherwise. There is now
no "Solid South" but Solid Union
