SOMETHING ABOUT ADVERTISING.
We believe there is less advertising
done by. the business men Of An
napolis, than any other place of its
size in the country. Many Of the
people here are possessed of the
opinion that the newspapers charge
entirely too much for advertising
space, and that it don't pay to adver-
tise. We insert four lines in the
CAPITAL on the first lage. che week
for rs cents; and Eve 90 cents per
line for local readers, and we circulate
to nine-tenths of the families and
business people of this city and yet
our merchants and business people
can't see the wise of advertising lit
don't pay its costs too much. But
what do you say to dollar per line?
Yet there are many papers in the
country that gets just that price. We
are led to make these remarks for
an article that appeared il the edi-
torial columns Of the Galveston
TEX Advocate, in reference to the
advertising rates Of the Galveston
Nesos. Last Monday evening"
says the Advocate, "the K. of III.
gave an entertainment at Harmony
Hail. The committee deemed il
advisable to advertise the fact. A
four Inch, single column advertise
ment was inserted in the Galveston
News, and on Tuesday the following
bill was presented:

The FUTURE OF HAMPERS FERRY.
- Mr.. James D. Butt, attorney for the
late purchasers of the Government
property at Harper's Ferry, has this
to say of the future Of that place -
| feel confident that 10 the next Eve
years that town will be next to the
city of Wheeling in point of popula-
ton and industrial pursuits. The
gentlemen who own these immense
water powers on the Potomac and
Shenandoah rivers are fully awake to
their values and will develop them to
their fullest capacity. They claim
that from the two rivers they can get
power of 5000 horses and to hook
the power of that number Of horses
means business. They have the capt.
tai, energy and ability. and during
the coming winter will mature their
plans and do some work during the
winter in repairing the canal, leading
to their mill sites Next spring they
will commence to erect shops, and by
the first Of July next will be ready
for business. The first manufacturing
enterprise to be begun will be . wood
pulp mandatory.

feels secure in becoming his own sue

But can 1t be said be has won bic
laureIs honorably aud fairly?
Has Anne Arundel received any rec
ognition from him In her struggle for
democratic supremacy !! His indiffer-
ence toward her during the late strug.
gle may be equally suggestive Of bis
indifference as to her votes in his re-
election. He has no reason to ask for
them and can be relieved from just
that much obligation. 1t is claimed
by some of his friends that the Fed
eral patronage of this county has been
withheld by bim for special reasons;
that according as the "cat jumped, !"
they would be disposed of soon after
the election. The cat has jumped and

which is pasted down with several of
of tho old fashioned red waters, we get
glimpse into the poets Workshop
We take him III the very act Of making
an immortal poem, and see how many
changes were necessary before his muse
got fairly on the wing. Following are
the trial lines under the slip:
Beneath the shadow of the cross. I
Dear in the shadow Of the cross.
Above the funeral mold, IS
In sin and sorrow, pain and loss,
We sing the songs OF old!
The sacred songs of old! s-
This evidently would not do. The
brain, however, was warming up and
the poet launched out again:
How sweetly come the holy psalms IS
From saints and martyrs down.
The waving of triumphal palms
Above the martyrs crown!
Here the poet noticed that martyrs
occurred twice iu the stanza, so the
second one is crossed out and the word
''thorny" is written over it. BY this
time the inspiration is fairly on and
the song appears to flow through with:
out break.

LITERARY NOTICES.

1.-The Dream Investigator" for Jan
nary continues the discussion be-
tween Prof. CLANCY and the edi-
tor, James Monroe, upon "Soul,
Spirit, Life" 1t proves the oft-quoted
remark of Wl,ateley, that most of our
disputes are about the meaning of
terms
Mr.. Monroe ought to call Prof. Cha
ney's attention to the fact that it is
easier to prore the existence OF spirit
than it is to prove the existence of
matter. All philosophers have to ad
nit that the substance called matter
is beyond our ken. We Can come in
contact with it's qualities, but the thing
itself, the substance, has never been
found. We can feel its hardness or
weight, we can see its color, we can
smell its odor, but that is alt. AS to
spirit, We cannot be conscious a mo-
ment without knowing it. We are it,
we hre it, we feel it, we cognize it, more
certainly hundred fold than we feel,
apprehend, perceive or argue the exist
ence of matter around US.
Mr.. Monroe says in his reply, 1T is
true, as the professor has substantially
said, we cannot hear, see, taste, smell
or feel SOUL" Why admit this?
Even physical scientists admit that it
is the mind that sees, tastes, smells
and feels physical or material things.
The nose does not smell, it is only a
sensitive medium to convey odor to
the mind. The ear does not hear. 1t
is only another sensitive medium to
convey sounds to the mind. The eye
does not see. 1t is only wonderful
contrivance of lenses and sensitive
plates to make pictures which the mind
sees. In all these cases the mind sim.
ply apprehends or recognizes the pres.
ence of something by smell, sight or
hearing. The presence of a spirit may
be apprehended or recognized, just as
logically, nationally and actually,
through any of these channels. The
admission that we cannot feel SOU
seems to he the most unfortunate part
Of the admission. SO far as there Il
any proof of the matter, or any evi
dence on record, it is all to the effect
that we can feel a soul, either with OF
without what is called the sense o.
touch.

youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
Ey its use light or red hair may be larkcncd,

1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu-

heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. AS 4 Ladies' Hair Dressing, the

Mrs. o. 4. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm

"Two years ago about twO-thirtls of my hair
