1t Is Hard to Waste 1t.

Some advertisers have an idea that
only copies going to paid up subscribers
are useful to them. This is not quite So.
For example, suppose journal has 25,-
900 actual subscribers to whom the
paper goes regularly. Suppose it prints
5000 extra copies week, which are sent
as specimens to good parties, whose ad-
dresses are supplied by its agents and
readers, and mails 5000 one week to one
set of persons, the next week to another
set of 5000 and so on. In this way $780,
600 extra persons are reached during the
year, while if the extra 5000 were sent
every week to 5000 paying subscribers
only that number could be reached. In
the former case 2S5, 900 persons are
reached. In the latter case only 80, 900
ali told. A person receiving a copy of a
journal which he has not seen before,
with a request to examine it, will usually
look all through it, advertisements and
all. Such a course is as useful to the
yearly advertiser as if his card were sent
to the whole 285, 900 persons, or even
more SO, for his single loose card receives
far less attention than would be found
in the columns of reputable journal.

of things to make military men gnash
their teeth with chagrin. An enemy, with
barely a personal escort, had forced his
way into strong Union department, &C.
cupied narrow, circumScribed territory,
launched out in recruiting and gathering
forage, and gained official recognition
from the opposing commanding general
whose department he had invaded, in the
first two weeks of his occupancy.
Forests scouts kept him well informed
of the movements of the Union forces in all
quarters menacing his peace By the 18th
of December he knew that Gen. Smith was
expected to move down from the north,
that Gen. Hurlburt's calvary leader, Grier-
son, was being strongly REINFORCED to hold
the southern line between Corinth and
Memphis, and that Union columns were
under orders to move upon jackson from
Corinth, Memphis, Nashville, east of the
Tennessee river, and Fort Pillow, on the
Mississippi, west, in conjunction with Gen.
Smiths proposed swoop from the north.
The arms that he was expecting would ar
rive from the south for his recruits did
not come, and having about 200 of these
men well mounted, he sent them under a
small escort to northern Mississippi to
procure equipments andFeturn to him at
Jackson. This whole cavalcade actually
slipped through the Union cavalry patrol
on the southern Tennessee line, and passed
near the Union post at Corinth on to Iuka,
Miss.
On the 22d Forrest learned from scouts
that Union troops were in position to move
on him within very few days. Smith was
to.start from Union City with 1900 men,
and Grierson's cavalry, supported by in
fantry, moving on the cars, was to be ready
to act at any point between Memphis and
Corinth. Forrest decided to start south

Lee moving northward with arms for his
recruits, or, failing in that, to cut his way
through Grierson's line. Detachments of
armed partisans, furloughed men and
others had joined him, swelling his fight
ing force to about 5000 men. There were
still over 5000 unarmed men in the depart

Be Brief! Be Pointed!

In preparing their announcements adj
verhsers will usually do well to confine
their statements to one, or at most, a
very few points. Few persons can do
well more than one thing at time, and
it is much the same with the memory;
but one or two points in any statement
make an impression and are retained.
As the number of points is increased the
probability of any of them making an
impression and bringing returns is pro-
portionately reduced.

Mn the SUN Rise In the West.

In that remarkable work New Astron-
omy,' the author says: ''The very moment
in which the sun retrogrades to the west
ward, beyond LIBRA, its rays will act i'm
mediately upon cur globe in a contrary
direction. The movement of the earth
will be slackeued and decrease progress
ively in order To cease afterwarl, without
any disorder, by virtue Of whaI the move
ments of our planet are common to all the
objects which are upon its surface. We
can compare the discontinulnce of its
movement TO that of steamer which
slackens more and more before ccasing to
move altogether.
Then man will witness a celestial phe-
nomenon very curious When the earth
will have stopped the sun will be seen mo-
tionless, fixed in some portion Of the heav-
ems, and after that stationary state of some
interval of time, just as the earth will re-
sumo, little by little, = contrary movement
of rotation, they will see the sun moving
again, but rising on the horz IN instead of
going down. Then the sun, the planets,
the moon and the stars will rise in the west
and set in the east. The day in which that
phenomenon will take place will be the
longest Of the period There win be in that
day two consecutive Moons in the countries
the meridians of which the sun will have
passed, and two consecutive midnights at
the antipodes."
In the above Professor Trastour fails to
note that other philosophers and astrono-
mers have predicted that the water will
dry up from the face of the earth, and
every living being have peris ned before it
will be possible for old Sol to get within
many triilions of miles of ii e point where

VENTILATION,

AS the world grows older the
world grows wiser. 1t begins
to see that the lungs are the
real seat of life. Unless they
perfectly oxygenate the blood,
all the blood purifiers in the
world will do the system no
good. 1t has long been known
that cattle herded too close to-
gether made bad beef and it
was thought that it was owing
to the lack of exercise. This
is now shown to be untrue.
The trouble arises from impure
air. The same animal fed in a
stall by itself in a barn, on pre-
cisely the same food, makes
good beef. Unless the lungs
are in good working order and
perform their functions proper
ly, there Is little use in trying
to doctor the stomach. This is
the special function Of Reid's
