The New Era takes exceptions to the
second syllable of the word Center
vile being spelled "ter," and says that
"well posted Centreville people do not
spell it that way. Perhaps not, Bro.
Hackett; but late number of the
Chronicle contained "Centeryille at
least half dozen times, and we have
letters from leading business men in
which they spell the name OF their town
with the "ter," and unless we are
greatly mistaken, it is so recorded in
the register of deeds office.
"EB NJ" ina recent number of the
Dakota State Record, says: 1--WE went
down to look at and over Hurley. We
found it all there, and since our last
visit it has increased in population,
buildings and business fully one hun
dred per cent. Jos. Allen was there
also, cheerful, chatty, confident, and
seemingly not much cast down by his
recent losses this much is certain. Mr..
Allen has the business ability and
energy to turn present loss to eventual
success; he has the confidence of large
circle of friends who will gladly assist
him in every possible way. Mr.. Rees Is
doing flourishing hardware business,
and | should judge is in a fair way to
attain success not only in business, but
also in character and standing. Tom
Murphy, assisted by his excellent wife,

goods to his many customers and taking
in the cash. We took the advantage of
a spare minute to run into the Herald
office. and found the man OF ink and
pen in quiet possession of neat little
office, and worthy of the many friends
and much patronage which he receives.

California Decisions,

New YORK, Jan. Is The Sun
says: In the pioneer days of Cal
ifornia. after protracted murder
trial, the verdict of the jury was
rendered in the these words: Not
guilty if he leaves the Safe :"
Lately another decision Of the same
nature has been rendered. Once
out of California the murderer
would be beyond the jurisdiction of
any officer Of that State and prac.
tically free to go wheresoever he
pleases and make his homo any
where else. It is hardly in accor-
dance with good morals for Califor-
MIA to get rid of her criminals by
shipping them on trains bound for
New York.

BunSiir,S Fir:anciers.

Many people fall into the error
of supposing that man who has
ever been permitted to handle vast
sums of money is great fnancier.
For instance the Austin Reveille
says in speaking Of Willard: "Such
men are in finance what Napoleon
was In war. He will be heard from
again" AS a Spectator, railroad
manager and financier Willard was
nothing better than a laundering
lunatic. With every facility for
making noney at his disposal he
nearly swamped a great railroad
company and after few months of
reckless foundering be landed fiat
on his back simply because he
lacked the business ability to do
anything else. No man is q great
financier who fails. Ralston was
considered great inancier, but in
the end the Bank of California went
down under his reckless manage
ment and it was discovered that his
fnanciering was done mostly on
nine millions of other peoples
money.
The man who runs q peanut
stand successfully and at the end
of year can show a clean balance
sheet and money made on his in
vestment is better fnancier than
the needless yreckers of railroads,
banks and big companies. The
crucial test of good fnanciering is
financial so.vency and nothing less.

THE DAWSON RESOLUTION.

Yesterday an APPEAL reporter
made further Investigation of the
records. in hunting up the course
of the Dawson Resolution. In JUS
tice to Mr.. Elstner, the Journal
Clerk of the Senate, it is but fair
to say that he complied with the
law, as laid down in Section Is of
the Constitution which provides
that . joint resolution shall take
the same course as o bill.
This being the case the ayes and
noes are all that should appear on
the journal. together With the reso-
luton as endorsed on the back.
In this respect the law was COM
piled with. The resolution then
went to the House, where it was
passed unanimously without any
calling of tho ayes and noes. This
was . branch Of parliamentary rule
and q failure to call the ayes and
noes resulted legally in the resolu-
ton not having been passed at all
all when i. comes to matter of
technical parliamentary rules for
Section IS provides that such a
resolution should take the same
course as bill. This resolution
was adopted by q rirc roce vote and
dropped dead right there through
the failure Of the Speaker of the
House to enforce the rule This
took place on the 1st of March,
Speaker Varian in the chair.

be the most extensively married mar
that has been seer on kentucky soil for
MANY years. This wandering cure all"
was presented TO the city court some SIX
weeks ago on the charge of bigamy, and
Judge Thompson sent him to the work
house for a year. On Saturday he was
released. but the Doctor had hardly re-
placed his foot il the central part of the
city before he was arrested on a warrant
sworn to by a lady from Chicago, charg-
ing him with bigamy, and as a result
the doctor is languishing in Jail. The
Chicago lady says she has information
that she is Hirschberg's tenth wife.
The first she knew Of his marry
ing was a nurse at the Cincinnati Hos
pital. She was a German. Afterward,
at Buffalo. he married an Irish girl.
His next bride was taken at Cleveland,
and was a pretty Jewess. Still later. at
Montreal, he took unto himself a French
girl. At New Orleans a mulatto was
added to the list. and since then he has
married six different American women.

WHAT Is MoRGANATIC MARRIAGE?
London Truth thus explains morganatic
marriages 1T seems to be supposed
here that a mOrganatic marriage is a sort
of a l1agar arrangement. This is a mis-
take. In Germany society is divided in
to castles. If a man of one caste marries
a woman of an inferior one the marriage,
which is perfectly valid, is termed NOR
g~anatic. This means that his wife and
the wife's children do not rise to the
caste OF the man. SO again. if the wife
is of a superior caste to the husband, the
marriage is m~orgaDatic. For instance
the marriage Of the Duke of Hamilton
with a princess ofBaden was ~morganatic !;
aud the marriage of Princess Louise with
Lord Lorne would, had either party teen
German, have been a ~morganatic one.
Both Prince Teck and Prince Louis of
Battenberg are the issue OF %morganatic
marriages"

PETER HENDERSON on ADVERTISING

PETER HENDERSON ON ADVERTISING.
In a paper Oh advertising" written
at the request ofthe National Convention
of Seedsmen and Florists, by that veteran
scotsman, Peter Henderson, Esq, and
read by him at Chicago on the 18th inst,
he says, speaking of a customer secured
thirty-three years ago by advertising ::
This gentleman purchased (the first
season. to the extent of SO worth of
plants. In succeeding years he was re-
peatedly bought upwards of 5000 worth
for himself and his friend in one season,
and has never failed in a single year to
purchase, and probably in the thirty
three years that he had dealt with me he
has bought not less than 50, 900 worth of
goods, and all this resulted from the first
investment of eight or ten dollars in ad
vertising. But let no successful advcr-
tiser deceive himself If he wishes to con-
tinue business, that the patronage which
he has secured will keep te him. unless
he sticks to advertising. Once let him
drop it, and business will drop him. His
old customers missing his familiar name
amongst contemporaries in the same
trade, will think him dead or retired, and
will turn their trade to some one of those
who offer the same goods for sale

at 3 10 this afternoon Tie had been
gradually sinking from the effects OF a
malariai fever. contracted some weeks
ago while on a visit 10 the South.
Pinkerton settled IN Chicago and soon
after located at Dundee, Ill. While on
the islands OF Fox River, searching for
stock, he disco, cred a camp of counter
~teiters and succeeded in breakiug up the
gang. His success, IN this mltter opened
the way for his subsequent career a. a dc
t~ective. After being made a Deputy
Sheriff, he became a detective on the
Chicago police force, aud in the year
1852, with the corporation of Edward
l.. Rucker, an a~ttorney-at law. and the
patronage Of several ra lroad companies,
he established TIE ""inkertou Detective
Agency" the first institution OF the Kind
in the United States. Mr. Fucker con
tinued with him only about a year, when
Mr.. Pinkerton undertook the entire
manag ment of the constantly increasing
business. When the agency was e,tab
lished only four or five men were employ
ed. among the most prominent beng
George IL. Bangs, afterward Genera sun
eriutendent. and Timothy Web Ter, who
was taken as a Union spy and executed
at Richmond, Va, during the war Of the
rebellion. From that small beginning
the detective force I'M er Mr.. Plnkerton',
orders increased steadily, until at the
time OF his death it numbered nearly 300
men, located 10 the leading cities of the
West and East.
Mr.. PiDkerton's exploits as a detective,
and the story Of what his force has ac-
complished, would fill volumes Express
robbers, highwaymen, counterfeiters in
deed outlaws of every description. have
found in him a ~tirelesS foe. One of the
last cases he managed was the work Of
breaking up the Molly Maguires in Penn
~sylvania. BY working his operatives into
their secret organizations he Was enabled
to stop etfectually their course of robbery
and murder. Thenty four of them were
hung, after due trial, and more than fifty
were sent to the penitentiary for long terms
of Imprisonment.
Mr.. Pinkertons active assistance to
the abolition movement and the promi-
nent part be took in the secret service
during President Lircoln's administra-
ton, as well as his hair breath escapes
and wonderful sagacity, are familiar to all.
