The Reason Why.

My son, there's nothing on earth so mysteriously funny as a newspaper advertisement. The prime, first. last and all the time object of an advertise ment is to draw custom. It is not, was not, and never will be designed for any other purpose. So the merchant waits till the busy season comes and his store is SO full of custom he can't get his hat of, and then he rushes to the newspapers and puts in his advertisement. When the dull season gets along and there is no trade, and he wants to sell goods so bad he can't pay his rent, he takes out his advertisement. That is, some of them do, but occasionally level-headed merchant puts in. a bigger enc and scoops all the business, while his neigh bors are making mortgages to pay the gas bill. There are times when you couldn't stoppeople from buying every thing in the store if you planted can non behind the door, and that's the time the advertisement is sent out on it's holy mission. It makes light work for the advertisement, for a chalk sign on the sidewalk could do oil that was needed and have half holiday six days in the week, but who wants to favor an adver- tisement. They are built to do hard work, and should be sent out in the dull days when customer has to be knocked down with hard facts, and kicked insen. sihle with bankrupt reductions, and dragged in with irresistible slaughter of prices, before he will spend a cent.
 That's the aim and end of an advertise ment, my son, and if you ever open a store don't try to get them to come when they are already sticking out of the win dows, but give them your advertisement right between the eyes in the dull season, and you will WAX rich and own q fast horse, and perhaps be able to smoke a good cigar once or twice year. Write this down where you'll fall over it every day. The time to draw business is when you want business, and not when you have more business than you can attend to already, Bridgeport Post.

THE DYNAMITE BUSINESS.
Action in the United States Senate HnC House and in the New York State Senate.

In the United States Senate MT. Bayard called up the resolution which he introduced on Saturday relative to the dynamite outrages in England. He spoke in favor of the resolu- tiop. Mir. Riddleberger moved to refer the resolution. He could say that he received such information with profound sorrow," but he could not always say that he received it with indignation"
 A lengthy discussion followed taken part i'll by leading members
 Mir. Laphsm moved to so amend the resolu- ton as to cover the idea that the explosions imperilled the lives of innocent and unsuspect- ing persons. The resolution as amended was agreed to-Yeas, 63; Nays, 1, the negative vote being Mr. Riddleberger's.
 In the House MT. Hewitt, of New York, offered resolution calling on the Secretary of State to inform the House whether the depart ment is in possession of any information tending to connect any person or persons res ident in this country with attempts to destroy life and property within the dominion of any foreign power with which we have treaties of peace and amity.
 Mr. Dorsheimer, of New York introduced the Edmunds bill for the punishment of crimes committed by means of explosive compounds.
 In the New York State Senate Senator Gil- bert's anti-dynamite measure was introduceA It makes it criminal offence to make sell or transport dynamite without permit.

Edgar A. POe's ChIld.Wire.

A New York letter says:-The Poe memorial monument for Central Park has arrived from Europe and wiz be un. yelled some time in the spring. It con- sists of a plain shaft and square pedestal, on the four sides of whieh are bas-reliefs representing conceptions from the "Rsven" and one or two of his other great poems. mention this for the purpose of relating some facts con- cerning Poe's poor child-wife, which have never before been published. It was in 1S45 or somewhere thereabout that the poet came to New York to find something to do. He did not succeed we'll, and it was on that visit that he sold the "Raven" to the AD,erSan Rev,e,o for S5. He finally went ut to Ford ham, little village up in Westchester County, which borders on the suburbs of New York City. It was then that he was living with his child-wife, who took consu mption and died. She was buried at Fordham, and she it was who was the "Annaber' of the most beautiful and touching poem he ever wrote. What other human heart than his could have measured such depth of tender pathos ? About three years ago the people of Fordham determined they would rt move the village graveyard. Few of them knew'of Edgar Allan Poe or his beauti- ful "Annabel" They began to remove the bones and lay them away proI,nseu- ously in sort of charnel ground some distance out in the country. A gentle man in New York who knew much of Poe's life, who loved his poetry and was aware that his wife was buried at Fordham, heard of the removal of the graveyard and went out to protect the bones of sweet "Annabel." The grave had already been opened and he came near being too late. He collected the precious relics. wrapped them neatly in a piece of paper and took them to his home in New York, where he kept them for nearly two years. One day gentle man called who had known Mrs. Poe and who was very fond of the poem "Annabel." The conversation drifted toward those beautiful lines, and verse after verse was repeated over and over. Finally the gentleman of, the house arose and said "I will show you some. thing"
 He then proceeded to unwrap the bones of the poor heroine.
 "These," said he, "are the bones of 'Annabel. He then proceeded to tell the story. The bones were soon after ward sent to be inferred at Baltimore.

TWO BRAVE YOUNG GIRLS.
How They ReDuIsed n GnnR of Burglars
 until Friends Cnne 10 the Rescue.

Two young ladies, the Misses Idalie and Jeanne Guthrie, living few miles east of Erie, Pa, had thrilling expert ence with band of masked burglars. The sisters had been left in charge of their home, their parents, Mir. and Mrs. Elisha Guthrie. having been decoyed to Jamestown, N. r., by a spurious dis patch, and soon after dark four masked men knocked at the door and demanded admittance. The house being strong and well secured owing to its lonely sit nation, the girls resolved to stand the siege. They barricaded the doors and windows with furniture, precaution al- most unnecessary owing to the strength of the locks, bolts, and bars with which the lower part of the house was secured. The burglars tried every horrible threat that suggested itself to induce the young ladies to surrender. but the heroic girls held out resolutely. The men com meneed to file away the staples or bars of 6 lower window, which had the effect of greatly terrifying though not of sub duing the fair defenders Their young CT brother, Henry, was absent at the home of schoolmate named Higgins, between whose house and the Guthrie home was tehgraphic connection, the two boys having fixed the wires and batteries for the purpose of studying telegraphy. Miss Jeanne, who had also acquired a knowledge of telegraphy, rushed to her brothers room and frantically called him up, in the hope of transmitting intelh- gence of their danger and obtaining help from the Higgins folks. But to their dismay there was no response to their calls, and it was evident that Henry had left, and was on his way home, which was the case, his friend accompanying him part of the way. In the meantime, the burglars had succeeded in partially cutting away the fastenings, and the girls began to lose all hope. In the dis tance they could see the light of their young brothers lantern, as he came across the fields, circumstance that in- tensi6ed their terror, believing the vil- lains would kill him. In their telegraph studies they had practioed signaling or oonversing in many ways with flags ard lights. With a small magic-lantern light, placed in an upper window, they succeeded in attracting Henry's atten. tion and in making known their peril. The boy hastened back for help, and two of the ruffians were captured, one of whom has confessed that the scheme to rob the house was planned by the nephew of Mir. and Mrs. Guthrie, one Ed Camper, who had manufactured the decoy telegram.

They Grew on Brush.
MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS WANTED FOR
 DESTRUCTION OF OYSTERS.

In 1883 what is known as the "Groton scarlet fever case" raised discussion as to the sanitary properties of oysters raised on brush, and disclosed to a ma jority of people the fact that bivalves might be grown on trees in submerged places. The Poquonoc River in Groton, Conn, is about two miles long, and does not rise above the dignity of a creek. Its bed is muddy, and oysters cannot be planted therein because they gradually sink and decay. People living in the vicinity discovered few years ago that oysters could be raised most successfully on poles and brush planted in the bed of the river, and the new process was at once recognized as the beginning of an important industry. Experiments showed that the supply obtained in this way was much larger than by the ordi- nary method of cultivation, and that in quality the oysters were superior. From one brush alone 25 bushels were obtained. The selected oysters from these forest beds have brought fancy prices in New York and the Fulton Mar ket men will pay as high as S a bushel, when the ordinary kind are sold for s1.5 50 to S1.75.
 Scarlet fever broke out in Groton in 1883, and though its origin was nttribu- ted by most people to m infection brought to the place in clothing shipped from the West in the household effects of family where the disease had exist ed in virulent form, the local Board of Health held that it was caused by de- composed matter existing in the Poquo- noc River, and the whole oyster plant was totally destroyed as a sanitary measure. The owners claim S30, 600 from the State. The State has paid one man S5,000. The oyster brush plant is being gradually restored to the Poquonoc and promises in time to be ss productive as formerly.

Moved Sixty Feet.

The recent Spanish earthquakes have not been without some of those accom- paniments which almost invariably at- tend earthquakes of any severity. Serious landslips are often the sequel of such shocks; streams disappear, springs cease flowing, rivers are dried up, and their course is so obstrncted that they form lakes. One village in Gran- ada has been moved bodily same sixty feet in n northward direction, @ deep semi-circular crevasse, appearing on its former site. The course of the little river near which the village stood has been blocked up and 8 lake is being formed. Many of the sulphur springs with which the region abounds suddenly ceased flowing, but reappeared 0 day or two after in a state of unusual heat, in- dicative, no doubt, of the character of the force at work below. At Periana, e landslip on a mountain in the neighbor- hood destroyed church and 750 houses. .LondoH Times.

An Intelligent Sentinel.

Mike is a private gentleman in the army during the recent unpleasantness. He is on picket at the witching hour of midnight. Under the starless sky the voice of horses footsteps are heard approaching in the shadowy distance, and the solitary hoIseman approaches the post all alone, by himself, with mo- body with him.
 "Halt P shouts the vigilant sentinel; "who goes there ?"
