It is not fair test of the value of ad- vertising, when business man iaserts a notice in paper for few issues and ex- poets it to bring large and immediate returns. It would be just as reasonable to expect to r>ap crop, few hours after sowing the seed. Advertising has become science, which will not fail to enrich those who make study of it and apply their knowledge juiiciously. The EPIrApH has received pamphlet from J. H. Bates, New York advertis- ing agent, of thirty years experience, which coLtalns some truthful and in teresting remarks on this subject. Mir.

The "Specimen" alias Brawley in the chair, (Oscar Wild was unanimously elected secrc,ary.) When the minutes of the previous meeting were read the Specimen" arose to make few remarks. He tllundered out his commands to his covering followers. He said:
 "I want that matter stricken from the roll, wherein l am charged by that d-d EPITAPH with being drunk, with being hauled away in the garbage cart, with being found drund in the gutter, with being caught trying to crawl under the screen door of the Pacific Chop House In order to evade paying twenty-five cents, with being caught asking candi- dates for fifteen-cents to get a drink"
 Here he raised himself to his full height and glared upon his innocent audience and demanded that these base and malicious charges be at once recind- ed; saying that they were made to injure his hitherto good commercial standing, [oh Lord!l (Cheers.) "I repeat" shouted the orator, "that this garbage cart man has been bribed to work my ruin. Three times have been hauled away and dumped among the city's accumulated garbage, but" shouted he in his frenzy, "I will die before will again submit to such indignation" (Cheers) "I, who unfold the principles of Jackson to my followers, to be called Specimen; l, who am destined to lead to victory the "solid" ranks of democracy, I thus in suited by black republican sheet; I, whose star is in the zenith of its glory, (hear, hear); l, who am part owner of a double-barreled Organ; I, who---" Here wild cry for beer from the audience interrupted the further proceed ings ofthe meeting and mad rush was made for the door, which, under the pressure of the mob, gave way and pre- cipitated the democracy into the street as the garbage wagon came round the | corner waiting for its victim.

Representative McKenna, who has been examining both bills, says that the points of difference are not so great as he at first supposed. Henley's bill ab' gates the Chinese treaties imme- diately on its passage, while Felton's abr gates them after due notice to the Chinese empire by the government. H. n'ey's bill admits into the country diplomates and their household and body servants, while Felton's includes the students going to the public colleges.
