"when soliciting to hear a man say it
doesn't pay to advertise. Why does
this man put out a sign? That is adj
vertising. Why does he obstruct the
pavement in front of his store with
samples of goods he sells? This is ad-
vertising too. Why does he daub the
head of mackerel barrel or dry goods
boxes with the words; GAIL Our
GOODS cheap and stick it up iD keg

"A brilliant comet is expected to
appear in The southwestern heavens
early in August or the latter part of
July. Professor Klein bases this ex-
pectation on the aspect of that great
streak in the heavens resembling
somewhat the milky way. 1t is the
path or orbit of great comet, and that
great streak of light is the gaseous
matter that follows in the wake of
comet. 1t is impossible to see it at
present. as it travels in the orbit of
the sun, whose brilliant light during
the day prevents the human eye from
gazing at it. The detection by the
latter part of July or August will
however bring it above the horizon
during the early evening hours, when
it will be plainly visible, and when it
will be Of the first magnitude. AS
Prof. Klein has heretofore predicted
and discovered comets with unfailing
accuracy, the fulfillment Of this pre-
diction will be looked forward to with
interest by the scientific world gener-
ally.
--Ex-Gov. Begole rises to remark:
1.-THE republican party will never for
give me for collecting that $42, 900
from the United States government,
which has been neglected by the grand
old party and should have been COL
lected twenty years ago. 1t is arefec-
tion upon the business capacity of the
republican officials, that cannot be
overlooked. Had the money been left
for the present administration to use,
the terrible offense Of collecting the
money might have been tolerated.
But when the money is expended in
the interest of the State froona that
