common salt; and as this is partly discharged every
day through the skin and the kidneys the necessity
Of continued supplies of it to the healthy body be.

therefore, and neither will the bile be able properly
to assist digestion, nor the cartages to be built up
again as fast as they naturally waste.


1t is better to place salt where stock can have
free access to it than to give it occasionally in large
Quantities. They will help themselves to what
they need if allowed to do so at pleasure; other

Marked with tho martyrs cross and crown

TIE SECRET OF SUCCESS IN SUsINEss.-
When you find man doing more bust
ness than you are. look at the advertise
ments he has in the newspapers. The
business man who puts his sign in the
newspaper does wiser thing than wber
he fastens it over his store. and who
would think Of neglec'ing that? He who
advertises informs the public that he de-
sires to trade, and his card in the news
paper is an invitation to customers to
come and do so. Where one person reads
a sign in the street FIVE hundred read il
in the newspaper. No matter how well
business man is known, he can always
pick up new customers il he will take the

Midsummer failed to bring US one thing
which had been promised confidently for q
long while, as certain to follow the restor-
alton of peace. The financial and CONNER
cial collapse which half the community had
been anticipating, and which upon the
theory long entertained ought to have oc-
CURED month or two ago. has not come.
Indeed what is now in progress resembles
imitation quite as much as collapse. Con-
sidering the season, there is a good degree
of activity, and enterprise is we'll rewarded
and encouraged. Many branches ofmanu-
factures are remarkable active, and
those engaged in them are preparing
for a heavy business. The men who are
discharged from the army, now numbered
by hundreds of thousands, are absorbed by
their old occuptions SO easily and quickly
that their presence scarcely attracts notice.


Everybody is busy most men are hopeful;
the condition and tendency of things is
such that all look for greater activity in
stead Of stagnation. The chiet unpleasant
symptom of the moment is ascribed to the
action of the Treasury in dealing with the
means at its command ; and, unless it be
those who are interested in fancy stocks

they mad been led to expect. - '@''ss%


One cause Of the failure, which in this
case as in so many others has discredited
predictions which were very we'll upon
theory, is the. immense and accumulated
wants Of the South: Many large classes of
manufactures are hard at work for the sup
ply of these necessities, which are pressing
beyond all example Men returning from
the army set to work at once to repair, each
in his own department Of industry, the loss
es inflicted by them upon the South in the
last four years. The wants to be supplied
in our own part of the country are more
over not few nor small. Many branches
have had less than their due share of labor
during the war, and now readily take on an
increase, for the more adequate supply Of
their products. In some, there has been
almost complete neglect and inaotion. For
our own wants therefore, as well as for the
opening market Of the South, there is room
for an expansion of business activity, which
is practically pretty good Offset for the
cessation of the industry called out by the
immense demands of the government fer
military purposes.

NEW YORK, April 25 A constant
stream Of people has been passing
through tho room where the remains Of
the late President lie every since yester-
day. They pass at the rate Of eighty per
minute at midnight. The German sing
ers, numbering about 1000 voices chant
ed dirges throughout the night. Though
the large line of citizens anxious to
view the remains was kept moving early
this morning, it seems diminished but
very little, and soon after daylight was
heightened greatly, extending from War
rem to John street on Broadway on the
/ West side of the City Hall, while there
was another line Of greater length run

Of the Hall All places Of business were
closed, while the upper stories Of every

One Of the festoons on the front Of

of Gre was made, the presence Of mind
of an officer, who promptly tore down
the burning drapery, saved a rush in the
crowd, which would, in all probability,
have caused loss of life.


The crowd in Broadway was so great
that it was found necessary to run chains
around the space through which the pro-
eession was to pass in the Park. The

mated at 10000

didate was found posted on a tree by
the roadside, and brought to the editor
of the Jackson Mississippian, who gave
it a gratuitous publication:


.7HeatiOn, Sorereigns Allow me,
through the medium, to introduce my
self 70 your acquaintance as a candidate
for assessor of taxes Of Kinds county.
If any one should be SO inquisitiye as to
ask why man Of my gigantic intellect
should fly so low, my answer is this ::
The Feds, in May, 1864, deprived me
of my left wing; therefore vaulting
ambition must stoop her flight to a level
with my capability. Again, should any
one wish to know why do not have
printed bills, l would ciyilly reply that
my pocket-book would laugh for week
at the rustic Of a greenbaek, and would
never survive the faintest clink Of me-
taic currency. Iwould like very much
to call on the dear people, and talk to
them face to face; but, to effect this,
my little school would have 10 close,
and with it my bread and butter.


Under these circumstances, hope to
be excusable. With high regards, l
am yours TO command.

SOUTHERN Men PRIVATELY TAXING THE

18th says that Southern men iu that city are
constantly making application for permission
to take the oath Of allegiance, and considera
ble proportion Of them desire to perform this
act privately, aud to have the secret kept, for
the present. Their object is freely explained.
Nearly all Of them have relatives 10 the South,
and are the owners of property there, and they
urge that, although they are in favor of the
Government, the safety Of their families 10 the
rebel States depends, 10 some extent, on the
understanding of the rebel authorities that the
heads of those families are not loyal to the
Union. The Southern men intend By the
course they adopt not only to relieve their rel
atives from persecution, but to preserve contin
gent interests in the property they have owned
The applications to the United States Marshal
for the oath, under these and other similar cir
cumstances, began with the war, and have
steadily continued 10 this time. The Marshal
takes the applicants into bis private Office be
meets them at his residence, at their own resi-
dences, or at any other designated place he
carries blank copies Of the prescribed oath in
his pocket; and when the papers are completed,
he keeps the originals, and furnishes duplicates
to the persons who subscribe to them. The
originals are not seen except by the Marshal !;
there are 10 other records; and the Marshal
declares to the Southern men that be does not
intend to go into the rebel States to testify
against any persons who receive the oath from
him. 1t is asserted upon the best authority
that the number of Southerners in New York
who have in various ways testified their loyalty
to the Government is much greater than the
public have had reason TO suppose.
