sIDDALL'S SAYINGS.

Newspaper advertisements are
read while the advertisers sleep.
The man who advertises in dull
times will never feel dull times.
Advertising is the philosopher g
stone that turns man wares to
gold.
A few gallons of printers ink
spread over a newspaper will equal
the services Of an army of drum
mers.
Some call it luck others say il
was business ability. 1t was neither.
1t was shrewd and judicious advers
tising.
He who starts without money but
with faith in advertising soon out
strips the capitalist who does not
advertise.
Printers ink has made more for
tunes than have ever been made on
all the stock exchanges and in all
the gold mines in the world.
A good name is better than great
riches, 30 Solomon said-but the
man who advertises literally and
judiciously gets both the good name
aud the great riches.

A Birmingham (England) paper
says: Not long ago tue wife Of n
prominent { gentleman in this town
called at leading shop and noticed
beautiful camel's hair shawl. She
inquired the price and was informed
$40 She admired the shawl very
much, and upon being solicited to
buy it, said that her husband would
never consent TO pay $40 for it, but
she continued, a bright idea striking
her, i will pay you l20 on it, and
too next timo you see, my husband
passing show him the shawl and
tell bin it is only go, aud / am

readily assented, and few days sf-

shop, was called in, saw the shawl,
and in q little while consented to

CAUSE OF LOW PRICES.

The Pittsburg Post says that people
would do well to remember that by the
force of natural laws we have entered on an
era of low prices-low prices for every
thing commanded by capital or produced by
labor. In support of this position we are
cited to the fact that, in consequence Of the
depressed state of industry and trade
throughout the country, the accumulation
of uninvested capital in the banks is at least
as great and perhaps greater than ever be-
fore. In the city of New York the individ-
ual deposits are $50, 100000 greater than
they were year ago, and the bank loans
and discounts are $28, 900, 900 less than they
were then. This makes an increase of $78,-
600, 600 in the amount of unemployed capital
in single city in one year. The banks
of that city hold $57, 416, $50 in excess Of
the legal requirements respecting reserves,
whereas they held only SIS, 127, 055 in excess
a year ago. And the accumulation of idle
capital in other parts of the country is about
in proportion to the accumulation in New
York. ~
1t is probably true to as great an extent
in France and to an approximate extent in
England. From the depression of the ship
building industry and the condition of the
textile industries, the result there, as here,
is large accumulation of unemployed cap
ital and low prevailing rates of interest. AS
the London Standard says slime must be
allowed to the other nations with whom we
do business to recover themselves, and as
they can not do that for months, in one or
two cases not perhaps for years to come, a
long period of quiet trade is to be looked
for" The prediction probably applies
quite as well to this country as to England.
People everywhere will do well to remem-
Der that by the force of natural laws we
have entered on an era Of low prices-low
prices for everything commanded by capital
or produced by labor.

construction line within whose prescribed
limits the deficiencies were found to exist at
the date of location"
The Herald correspondent says that Gen.
WAKEFIELD was aware that the assumed
title of the ST. Paul 81 Sioux City Railroad
company to the lands in the above named
counties was a steal of the first water, and
it is to be regretted that some of the officials
of the state are not exempt from abet-
ting and conniving at the fraud. The in
ference to be drawn from the foregoing res
olution is that the former plant secretary of
the interior gave such construction to the
granting acts as were subject to the pressure
that was brought to bear upon him, to GER
tify these lands to the state, in order to ac-
commodate the ST. Paul g. Sioux City Rail-
road company.
The Herald correspondent then proceeds
to say that sin looking over the list of lands
granted to railroads, we notice the st. Paul
& Sioux City grant is 4S7, $40 acres, miles of
road built Sc, land earned 316,7 200 acres,
forfeitable no, $40 acres. 1t appears from
the above that the deficiency in the 316, 700
acres of earned land is all that the st. Paul
& Sioux City company is entitled to, and
how some 500, 900 acres of indemnity land
can be crowded into the deficiency of 316,
700 acres is problem for the ex-state
auditor to solve. The general government
has not patented these lands claimed by the
ST. Paul & Sioux City Railroad company to
either state or corporation; the only title is
| in the erroneous construction OF the land
acts by the former secretary of the interior
in certifying the land to the state. The
st. Paul & Sioux City land steal
would probably be successful had it
been consummated during the reign of
the ex-seeretary of the interior and his
contemporary attorney general, as was done
in the case of the notorious Back Bone land
grant, by the sale of 1000, 900 acres of land
by one company to another for the enor-
nous sum of 81, and there has been over
six hundred thousand acres of the. plumber
patented to the land grabbers by Secretary
TELLER. But there is CLEAN of hope
now that the railroad plunderers must call
halt until their title to the plumber is exam
ined by Secretary LAMAR and Attorney Cen
eral GARLAND. There has been a connect
ing link Of rascality with the railroad land
robbers, from the supreme court of the
United States down to the department of
| the interior, and from that down to the
state legislature, all of which has been in
harmony with the land grabbers to steal
all that is worth having of the public do
main. The history of the indemnity land
which has been gobbled by the st. Paul &
Sioux City Railroad company in this state,
and in which the state legislature took a
prominent part, has few equals in the annals
of crime; the whole transaction has been
tainted and stained with fraud and rascal
ity, and in every page of history you will
meet the indelible mark of villainy star
ing you in the face"

SAM JONES.

The St. Louis Republican publishes an
extended sketch of the Rev. SAM JONES,
the uncultured evangelist who is creating
such wonderful sensation by the success
of his revival in Nashville. He is native
of Georgia and is sc years old. Last Janu-
airy he held revival service continuing fol
four weeks in the Brooklyn tabernacle,
which DR.. TALMAGE says was the most
successful ever held in his church. During
the revival meeting he is now conducting
in Nashville he breaches three times day,
and at each service has from five thousand
to ten thousand hearers. Among his con-
verts are leading business men, gamblers,
saloonkeepers and almost every class OF so
ciety. One converted SaloOnkeeper con-
tributed his entire stock of goods to the
church. Gen. WILLIAM III. JACKSON, the
noted turfman and proprietor of the we'll
known Belle Mead stock farm, the home OF
Bonnie Scotland and other noted racers, is
one of the latest converts.
While there is an apparent coarseness
about the homely proverbs of Parson JONES
the following quotations of epigramma tic
sentences from his Off-hand sermons show a
force resembling BURKE, while there is a
deep philosophy in some OF his sayings.
There is whole discourse in the following
sentence:
ST despise theology and botany, but love
religion and flowers s'Talk about an honest
man starving to DEATH he says in recent
sermon; ''they wont starve. GOD will feed an
honest man if he has to put the angels on half
rations.'
That sentence is religious creed, a code
of morals, and system of philosophy In
itself.
"What's culture WORTH inquiries he in
another connection. 'sIt's only whitewash on
a rascal. I'd rather have to learn my A B
Cs in heaven than to know Greek in hell"
Here are some of the most character
istic:
Many good Christians sleep so sound that
the devil can come up and saw off their heads
with dull cas- eknife before they wake.
The best woman in this town is the woman
who has waded through trouble that an
angels heart could not have endured. When
GOD wants to strike us with Affections let us
not run, but stand and take 'em.
A lie is always on the down grade but the
truth you have to hitch an engine to.
can get along better with most everything
iu this world than with people who talk too
much.
A woman that marries man with whisky
on his breath is the biggest fool in the world,
except the one who stirs his toddy for him
after she marries him. If you don't like that
sort of talk you can rack out here.
From which it is evident that the Georgia
wonder has no frills on his religion. We
hope the Republican can induce him to go
to ST T,OI1is

Sullivan in Court.

Boston, May 2S.-The suit against John
L. Sullivan, brought by his wife for di-
vorce, attracted an immense audience of
the pugilist's admirers. The testimony
given by Mrs. Sullivan and other witnesses
for the plaintiff went to show that Sullivan
was abusive and addicted to the excessive
use of liquor, and that he has beaten his
wife on several occasions. Sullivan testi-
fed that he had never been drunk, though
often ''full." He swore he had never
struck his wife, and that the latter was in
the habit of drinking whenever he did. She
left him on Dec. 6, 1854, and he had never
seen her since till he met her in court.
When asked if he ever had any trouble
about her relations, he made the following
reply, which made a general laugh and even
caused the judge to smile several times:
II had no objection to supporting two or
three OF her relations, but L didn't care
about supporting the whole of Rhode
ISland.''

Attempted Double suicide.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Bernard Radell and
John Strut, two young natives OF Switzer-
land, working as painters, agreed to com
NIT suicide together At the room OF the
former, 2O6 Canalport avenue, last evening
they swallowed five grains of strychnine
each. Strut started for his boarding house
but repented of his bargain on the way.
Reaching his room he began to roll around
the floor and scream. bringing friends, who
sent for a doctor, who administered an
emetic. Strut then thought OF his friend
Radell. The doctor hurried to his room
and found him nearly gone Radell, when
he heard that Strut had repented concluded
that he didn't want to die either. He was
also saved. Both refused to give reasons
for attempting suicide and were arrested.
