Importance of Advertising Sales.-When
public sales held, the interest in the case de-
ponds very much upon the number in attendance.
The greater the gathering, as rule the greater
the rivalry in buying. The sale must therefore
be well published. The most effectual way to do
this is to place the advertisement in your home
paper, that it may come under the view of every
body. Everybody reads thepaper while but COM
paratively few the sale bills. 1t will cost you
to publish your sales in the papers, but moth
ing will make better and surer return for the
outlay all who have tried it agree that it is the
correct thing to do.

Something to Think About.--Did it ever
strike those philosophers who fond of investi-
eating little things (says The Day. that wide
and very interesting field of inquiry lies before
them in the regular rotation of children's games,
the simultaneous manner in which they begin,
and the mysterious concert of action which is
shown in making them give place to others?
Just now almost every boy seen on the streets of
the city is spinning top; the same thing can be
found in every other city, town and village ON
the continent, and suddenly, on some given day,
tops give place to marbles, marbles in turn to
kite flying, and so on through the whole series of
outdoor amusements which delight the Juvenile
heart Military men who have been in service in
India have often called attention to the fact that
when q revolt has broken out in hill tribe, the
news, by some system of secret telegraphy, was
at once known by other tribes hundreds of miles
distant. Can it be that there is something of the
same kind among boys, and might not some of
our investigators at Johns Hopkins University
make it the subject of an interesting study?

become part of Baltimore city The inmates OF
the house, together with the boarders at the Cal
verton Hotel, responded promptly to the alarm
and under the command of Mr.. r. Thomas soon
succeeded with their fire department, in subduing
the flames, with a loss of only about $500. The
only mishap connected with the fire was caused
by the proprietor of the house slipping from the
roof into Darrell of ft-soap, much to his dis

The Boston Wool Market.

Boston. August 16.-The AdUertiS-
er, in its weekly review of the wool
market, says: 1t is not surprising
that the market, after run of four
most active weeks, in which the sales
have averaged over four million
pounds each week, is now more quiet.
Such high pressure cannot be kept
up at any time, and surely not in
wool when wooden goods do not
show any great Improvement. The
business this week has been very
fair, and more than up to the average
sales of domestic wool. There is a
dearth of new features. 1t will be
noticed that the transactions in
Michigan fleece, as reported, consists
of only one sale of old wool at %.
Holders of the very best Michigan
are still holding at Gle, but good lots
can be bought below that, and 3lc is
an extreme price. Dealers generally
feel that wool will go no lower, but
at the same time there is not the
strongest confidence that it will be
higher in the near future, hence pres.
ent prices are readily accepted. Wy
oming woods have been arriving
rather more freely of late, and some
sales nave been made which have not
been reported, because the wool has
not been delivered. There is no
doubt that the sales of wool have
been larger than reported by fully
40U, 900 lbs, but it is our practice to
report only just such sales as are CIV
en- to US in the regular way. Dealers
have been very busy shipping wool.
Choice assortnents of all desirable
woods have been reduced by the re-
cent activity, and stocks of year.
growth Texas are much reduced.

Just What is Coming.

The New York Morning Journal,
an Independent newspaper. says
"The Blaine managers are true to
their programme of aggressiveness,
and talk now of breaking the solid
South on the tariff issue. The battle
is not to be fought out on shotguns,
but cotton spindles. 1t is not to be
the bloody shirt in this canvass, but
the brand-new shirt. Well, this is a
novelty. 1t is extremely doubtful
that it will avail in such State as
Mississippi, where the rule has been
to keep the immense negro vote from
the polls at all hazards; but in Loui-
siana it may have some force. The
Cleveland managers must be up and
stirring. They cannot afford to lose
an electoral vote south of Mason and
Dixon's line. Any Republican COM
bination with force of Southern
whites large enough to insist on the
polling of the negroes ballots would
petrify the chances of our handsome
Reform Governor. Mr.. Hendricks
may be doing good work in talking
oven John Kelly at Saratoga, but mis-
voice will assuredly be needed in
warmer latitude before November, if
all the eloquent Elkins says is true"
