Tie Bribery and Corruption Bill Recomnit.


ted In the Sennte-Uefcat Of the Bill for


Paymen: of Salaries Of Supreme Court
Judges In Goid-Pnssase of the Reaisary


Bill! and the sherig,s Fees Bill in the


Senate.


A very interesting discussion was had in the morn.
ing session OF the House on the Senate Bribery and
Corruption bill, which was resumed In the afternoon
Several amendments OF very stringent character
were proposed by MIR. Miller OF Seneca, which, al.
though meeting with considerable opposition, were
adopted and the bill ordered to third reading.
A motion to recomDt the bill was sprung in
the evening and passed by vote OF 4s to Al.
The bill, therefore, goes back and the amendments
will be stricken out. AS the Assembly amendments
not at all likely to be adopted by the Senate,
the bill would probably go back to the former House
and might be delayed until the session Is over,
Sekrig was perhaps right when he said that th6
attempt to lumber UP the bid with amendments was
intended To prevent 1t from becoming a law. Few
OF those members who voted for ITS accompaniment
but they were anxious thai time should not be
wasted by sending 1t to the Senate in shape which
would insure Its rejection.


The bill increasing the salaries OF supreme Judges
to So, 900 In gold was oppose by Mr. Hitchman, who
claimed that there should be no difference made in
favor OF any privileged class. The greenDack that
was good for the workingman was good enough tor
the Judge or the legislator. The bin was defeated
by majority OF sixty. The weight OF the gold car
ried it down.


The bill authorizing railroad over Harlem bridg6
was beaten by Il TO 81. MIR. Htchrnan opposed aud
Messrs Hustled and p. Mitchell favored 1t as a
measure required for the poor OF westchester and
New York.


The Registry or Naturalization bill passed the
House to u third reading. The discussion was very
brisk.


The Hanson CAP Company was Incorporated in
the senate day, and will 20 to the Governor for
his signature. This useful institution is therefore,
likely To he started Immediately.


The payment OF the original Sherir's Fees bill also
passed the Senate. 1t has been amended out Of all
likeness to itself.


Mr. Genet asked Senators to-day to sustain him

My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, shall use great deal of it. I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of great majority eE the regular line of M.

For my part shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be able to command-not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. 1 am, sir. most respectfully,

DOES if PAY TO ADvBRTIsEi-To
business men Of ovory class this is q guess
tion Of no little importance, as Total failure
or complete success is often the issue. A
young man, just emancipated from paren-
tai control, is about TO embark in business
on his own account. He has good stock
Of merchandise on hand for sale, but being
only beginner, he has little patronage.
What should he dot Why advertise. If
nobody knows him, let him make himself
known. A newspaper advertisement, ju-
diciously drawn up, and if necessary, neat
ly illustrated, and given to proper me-
dium, will often suffice to make success
almost certain. A good advertisement
will ring louder than any bell, and is the
staff Of life in trade, just as bread is the
staff Of human life. Advertising enables
q business man to place bis goods before
the eyes Of thousands who otherwise would
never know Of their existence, or that Of
the owner. II is well known among our
most successful merchants that liberal ad-
vertising not only pays, but is indispensa'
BILE to the economical and successful work
ing OF their establishments. There are in-
Vulnerable living instances among US where
colossal fortunes have been realized by
timely and judicious appeals for patronage
through the newspaper and periodical
press, whilst il would be difficult to find
an instance in which it failed to pay

Whether it PAYS to advertise IS a ques.

and facts like the following are constantly

who have not tried it.
