The present session Of the Circuit
Court has proved rather a lively and
interesting one, aside from some i'm
portant cases which attracted publicat-
tention. Several were shaking in their
shoes on account of some unexpected
indictments found BY the Grand jury.
Judge Rogers, moro than any OF his
predecessors has urged q line of moral
reform on that body, and has given
emphasis to the law covering cases
which heretofore have been ignored.
For want of proof however, most OF
these cases escape notice, and the Elk
amplcs already mate will only cause
additional caution on part of those who
were in ieaf of Investigation.

A Mount for Logan.

San FRANCISCO ChrOnlcle.
#. NJ. Pixley sent over from his ranch near
Sauceito to this city yesterday morning very
handsome mare to be placed at the disposal of
General Logan during the encampment The
animal Is regular charger, tall. deep-chested.
clean limbed ard spirited. She stands nearly
sixteen hands high is white with reddish brown
or chestnut clots She was bred on Mr.. Pixley's
ranch, and is of excellent pareutage. Although
eight years old she has never been foaled and is
full of the fire of youth. As General Logan is
known to be good rider, this spirited animal,
said to be rather skittish, will give him an OBJ
portunity of displaying his horsemanship to the
best advantage. In the hands of good rider
her action is perfect. She holds her small, we'll
shaped head erect and her fine tail sweeps the
ground. The mare is at present stalled at the
Fashion Stables. Ellis street, and Major Har-
ney has been notified that she is kept there
awaiting the Generals orders. The mare is
named 'Molly," and is possessed of unusual in
telligeuce.

LEGITIMATE ADVERTISING.

The theater managers of Chicago have en-
tered on the experiment of doing away with
show-window advertising, which has. proved
so expensive. To get the privilege of hang
ing Autograph in shop-window it has been
necessary to give the shop keeper pass to
the show This has had the result Of filing
the house without corresponding money re-
seipts, and has become burden that they
feel they can no longer stand. The move
ment is good one. There are legitimate and
profitable ways of advertising, but this is not
one of them. In Europe, and notably in
Paris, the greatest amusement city in the
world, the custom is for all attractions to use
exactly the same size bills, about the dimen-
sions of "quarter.sheet," or say, 12x20
inches. The only variation in these, and
there are scores Of houses Of amusement, is
that the paper of one is differently colored
from the others. One will have red band
through the center perpendicularly, another
with the band running horizontally, and still
others in other ways; but all
printed on cheap paper, the object
being simply to announce that such
and such place is open and that certain at
traction is offered. This it will be seen, is
very inexpensive way to advertise, and such
thing as hanger in shop window is I'M
known, all the bills being displayed side by
side on the public boards provided for that
purpose. The deadhead business in this
country has become of magnitude that COM
pels something Of the kind undertaken by the
Chicago managers, and those of other cities
win doubtless soon follow their example.
Following this reform viii go the illuminated
posters. 1t has come to such pass that the
shearest shows in the country and the most
andeserving cover the dead walls of the cities
with the most elegant paper. 1t signifies
nothing, FOR the v;lest patent medicine does
as well, as may be seen by any who care to
look. IL were better that the experiment be
tried Of turning the expense of fine posters to
increasing the merits of the show offered;
then, with legitimate and decent methods Of
advertising, the crowds may be attracted and

fame it is the easiest thing in the world for
him to get more. The man who is already

famous has attentions thrust upon him until
he fairly gets tired of them, and his notoriety
gets to be a burden to him and to the people
The money required to erect the statue at
Lippehne could have been better expended
had it been used to commemorate the brave
deed of some man whom fortune has not so
richly favored. Let bravery be acknowledged
in persons of humble state, so that the deed
and not the man alone be honored.
