Merit Means Money Made.

You cannot advertise money out of peo-
pies pockets all the time; you may do it
now and then, but if you don't give them
something Of absolute merit in return. adj
yertising will never prove successful The
kind OF advertising that pays is adyertis-
ing a good thing. AS it has merit the
people will use it again and again. Never
has this be Il better illustrated than IN
the great success of Cascarets, candy ca
thartic, that we have been lately adver-
Using in this paper. All druggists call
Cascarets repeaters, that is, people buy
them, like them, and buy them again and
recommend them to their friends. Cas-
carets are guaranteed to cure constipation
or money refunded, and are a delightful
laxative and liver stimulant; the best
medicine ever made. We recommend all
our readers to try them.

Not Friendly 20 Negroes.

His Honor Judge Crutchfield sits in a
Richmond court dispensing justice. A
few days ago some New Workers were
seeing the sights of the Confederate
capital, and among other things gazed
on the Judge in action. AS they en-
tered his court he cried to q group of
negroes seated on the front benches:
Here, you niggers, get up from there
and make room for these folks" The
blacks obeyed with alacrity, and when
the whites were seated a case that was
before the court was resumed. A negro
arose. "What are you doing here. mig

about it. am compelled by law to lis
ten to you, but if had my own way no
such cattle as you should practice law
in my court" He seemed to take great
delight in calling the blacks 'niggers''
An aged colored woman appeared be-
fore the judge. SIS that you. Liza? he
asked, sternly. ''Of course. In more
trouble? How many times have I sent
you up? Don't know? How much did
give you the last time?" Eliza meekly
responded: "One month, judge" "One
month, Ell? Look here. Liza. YOU are

give you twelve months this time--twelve

afraid of Crutchfeld, and call him Gus

About fifty miles south of Berlin, in
the Spreewalde, on the borders of Bo-
hernia, funerals on the ice are of no un>
common occurrence. Every one is per-
fectly at home on skates. So the young
men, skating, take the ropes attached to
the sleigh on which the coffin IS borne;
the old men, women and children follow,
skating behind. The skates used are old
fashioned in character, tied with string.
The men wear black coats and hats on
such occasions, but the women vary their
costume with white hats, scarfs and
aprons. In Iceland the same mode pre-

in lieu of skates. In Venice all bodies are
