Mischief-Maker Shepard.

There does not seem to be any reason to
doubt that Col. Shepard, the editor of the
New York Mail and Cypress, is bad man.
Besides being hypocrite he is vicious and
unprincipled In order to achieve little
cheap notoriety he would gladly stir up ILL
feeling and strife throughout the entire
country. To accomplish his purposes he
does not hesitate to publish falsehoods.
And yet this man pretends to be christian
gentleman. and at the head of his editorial
columns prints each day a text from the
Bible.
Last Sunday the Rev. Thomas Dixon,
Jr., who occupies the pulpit of the Twenty
third street Baptist church, New York,
denounced Col. Shepard's paper as "a
national curse and disgrace to Christian
ity." If this is the opinion which is enter
tanned of Col. Shepard and his paper in the
city in which Col Shepard lives, what
must be thought of them where they are
not SO well known9
The Rev. Mr.. Dixon, speaking of the
Mail and Express utterances relative to
the Richmond celebration, said: "The
Mail aud Cypress SO distorts and falsifies
the facts as to make it appear that the only
flag to be seen was the confederate flag.
This was done with the deliberate purpose
of deception. The paper deals in vitupera-
ton, abuse, epithets. 1t assumes pious
whine, nauseating in the extreme, and
poses as representative of christianity. 1t
could not live without the assumption of
some moral force: it would not be toler-
ated, and so it steals the livery of heaven
In the name of God and of truth, of hon
esty and of integrity, l, for one, repudiate
this so-called newspaper as in any sense rep
resentative of christianity. Keep such pa
pers from your homes as you would pest.
If you want vicious literature, use the bald
vulgarity of Swift or the naked realism Of
lola. 1t will be less dangerous than the
hatred and bigotry and malice and false
hood of such a sheet wrapped up in a
| scripture text"
Public sentiment in New York does not
now support Col. Shepard. 1t simply
tolerates him. A good many people read
his paper for the purpose Of seeing what he
has to say. Very few, indeed, agree with
him or sympathize with his utterances He
is looked upon as a crank, and hence his
power for doing harm is very little. If he
could get following, however, he would be
| more dangerous than an anarchist. He
would create any amount of trouble for the
mere sake of getting himself talked about.
He has no principles, his sole object being
to gain notoriety.

A Matter OF Memory.

AS a rule, it is best for the adver-
tiser to confine each announcement
to few leading articles. The aver
age reader remembers one or two
facts, briefly and thoroughly i'm
pressed, with greater case than a
larger number running through q
somewhat extended announcement.
In the case of q merchant, the first
thing to be done is to attract the
buyers to his store. When the buyers
come there, If the merchant cannot
sell them it is his fault, and not the
fault of the newspaper. or of the adj
vertisement. The tendency or the
time is towards brief, pointed,
"meaSy" matter; whether it be of q
literary, newsy or business nature.
The object sought by every advertiser
is to induce people 10 read his an
nouncements.
An attractive advertisement con-
tanning not too much matter, and
calling attention to few specialities
or leaders,is all things considered, apt
to be read and remembered by the
larger number of individuals.
Anglo-Saxon has come to be largely
used in the preparation of newspaper
advertisements. Plain English, plain
type and plain truth pay in adver-
acknowledgement News.
