What tells us so readily the stand ard of a town or a city as the appear ance of its paper? And its youth or its age can as well be determined by the observing as by a personal notice. "TJie enterprise of its citizens is depict ed by its. advertisements, their liberal ity by the looks of the paper. Some papers show a good, solid, healthy foundation, plethoric purses, and a well-to-do appearance generally; others show' a striving to contend with the grasping thousands around them, try ing hard to wrcrsch an existence from their close-fisted communities. An oc casional meteoric display in its columns of. telegraph or local, or of editorials, Bhows what it can do if it had the means; but -it cannot continue in the expensive work until I support comes, which ought to be readily granted. A newspaper is like, a church it wants fostering in the commencement, and for a few years ; then, as a general thing, it can walk alone, and reflect eredit upon its location. Take your home paper it gives you more news of immediate interest , than any other pa per can possibly do? it talks for you when other localities belie you; it stands up for your rights; you always have a champion in your home paper ; and those who stand up for you should certainly be well sustained. Your in- terests are kindred and equal, and you must rise or fall together. Therefore, it is to your interest to support your home paper, not grudgingly, but in liberal spirit j as a pleasure, not as a . disagreeable duty, but as an invest ment that will amply pay the expendi ture. Chicago lie-publican. The Secret of Advertising. The secret of advertising is not yetdis covered by all who advertise A good deal of money and space is wasted in clumsy announcements, which nobody reads, heavy 'standing placards, which no more stimulate purchasers than the names on sirns. Much money is also wasted iu circulars, which are thrown into entries and down cellar-ways, and always received with contempt, or in so-called advertising sheets, which no body reads. There is no medium that comes into such close contact with the people as the newspaper; and if adver tisers only understood their business jthey could make their part of the pa ;per as interesting as any other part of it. In many of the German papers advertising is carried on to an extent of which we have no idea. The newspa per is the real exchange. Everybody goes to it with all his wants, and al tnost all his woes. The cunscquencc is .that the sheets are as lively as neigh borhood gossip, and often the pages de moted to advertising are the best parts iof the paper. And the papers are read through. The announcements are al ways short, always "transient," and pne looks at tbem in the morning to pee what the world has to offer him that day, by way ot business or amusement. Perhaps his next door neighbor nas a rare niece of china or a choice cngrav- r f . ' ing to sell, or he would likejto get an odd number of some serial, which you Jiappen to have ; somebody, somewhere, announces something that interests you, and so life is made more endurable, trade is quickened, and wants are supplied. - "We look to see a more general use of the advertising columns of newspapers in this country for all the wants and queries of life. Hartford Courant. A young lady, who has been study ins finance for some time past wishes to know whether the day rate of gold affects the nitrate of silver. The Lost Boy. A Paris letter tells the following story of a fete in that city : A wealthy family in the aristocratic boulevard Maleshcrbes were amusino themselves in seeking the king's por tion, or the ring in the festival cake, when a lady of the company said to the hostess, "1 wish my portion to be given to the poorest little boy we can find in the street. 1 he servant was dispatch ed on this freezing: nisht, and not far from the house he found a ragged ur chin, trembling with cold and hunger. He brought him up, was ordered into the gay saloos? where a thousand lights glittered, and a sparkling fire gladden ed atid surprised. He drew her por tion which the benevolent lady had promised, and, as luck would have it, the little fellow found the "ring" (beans they use in Paris instead), and of course he was "kins;." Thev all shouted out that beins a King he must choose, a queen. He was asked so to do, and looking: round the company he chose the very lady who had proposed to cede her poitiou of the cake. He was ask ed why ho chose her. lie said, "I don't know; she looks the most like mother!" "Mother! whose mother ?" 'My mother! I never knew her, but I was stolen away from her, and here is heryportrait!" With this he drew out from his ragged coat a likeness, which proved to be that of the lady herself, who, in Italy, had had her child stolen from her, and now he turns up a poor little ragged Savoyard, dragging along a miserable existence in Paris, while his mother, by an intuition, perhaps, felt that in the air near to where she was, was one so dear to her. Senator Nye on "Kuined Hus bands " The Washington corres pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial heard Senator Nye give the following "opinion," just after the trial of Mc Farland, for the killing of liichardson, which resulted in acquittal : When an infuriate 1. husband pistq'.s some one of his friends, on suspicion, because he is supposed to have seduced his wife, or to have been seduced by her, it is true heroism to take the con sequences and be hanged, according to law. This would create genuine sym pathy, and be the highest possible vin dication of domestic honor. If McFar land was hung now, I would weep over him as a martyr to the marriage vow ; but being acquitted, he goes his way, in public estimation a low, mean, cow ardly, trrunken fellow. It is, you see, a great wrong to Dan, and he ought to feel aggrieved that he is not hanged. Of course, with his wife unfaithful to him, life is a desolate blank, a dreary waste, and not worth shucks. And if I were Dan, I believe, as the jury fail ed me I'd go hang myself as Judas Is cariot did, like a gentleman. The Mobile Register, of May 28th, states that the amount of cotton plant ed in the vicinity of that city exceeds that of any previous year.. The Mobile Register mentions the arrival, at that city, of cotton machin ery from England, and says it is de signed1 for an extensive addition to the Tallassee Mills, for the purpose of spin; ning a fine grade of yarns for export an experiment as yet but believed by the most practical men to give promise of success, and a profitable business for the South. It seems from this that the people of the South are turnins their attentiou to manufacturing well as producing the raw material. as A Southern paper states that a new enterprise has been inaugurated in Al abama this year: that ot sending gar- den vegetables to Northern cities. The exports, ;thus far, consist of strawber ries, blackberries, beans, peas, cabbag cs, squashes, beets, etc., something new being constantly added with the pro gress of the season. It is estimated that at least G,000 bushels of English peas have already been forwarded, with a corresponding proportion of other ar ticles, amounting in value to from 000 to $10,000, and that the amount will reach 30,000 this season, to be greatly increased another year. The points supplied are Chicago, Louisville, St. Louis, Cincinnati and other W est em cities, besides a considerable quan tity gent to New Orleans, and over the Mtbile and Montgomery road. "The merry first of young wife: ''Oh this May" First horrid house moving ain t you aistractea about : Second do: "O dear ! no. We have it arranged nicely. Charles will see to the furniture and things, and I will Su perintend the removal of Fido and myself." Proud of His Mother. It was a cold night in winter. The wind blew, and the snow was whirled furiously about, seeking to hide itself beneath cloaks and hoods, and in the very hair of those who were out. A distinguished lecturer was to speak, and notwithstanding the storm,' the village ers very generally ventured forth to hear him. William Amnesley, buttoned up to his chin in his thick overcoat, accompanied his mother. It was difficult to walk through the fallen snow against the piercing wind, and William said to his mother : "Couldn't you walk easier if you 1too"k my arm V Perhaps I could," his mother re plied, as she put her arm through his, and drew up as closely as possible to him. Together they breasted the storm, the mother and the boy, -who had once been carried in her arms, but who had now grown up so tall that she could lean on his. They had not walked far before he said : "I am very proud to-night, mother." "Proud that you can take care of me ?" she said with heart gushing with tenderness. "This is the first time you have lean- ed upon me," said the happy boy. There will be few hours in that child's life of more exalted pleasure than he enjoyed that evening, even if he should live to old age, aud should, in his manhood, loviDgly provide for her, who, in his helpless infancy, watch ed over him. Gen. Hagood, in his recent address v . r . t -it 1 . as rresident ot tne unaricston agri cultural and Immigration Convention, ade the following statement with ref- erence to tne decrease or tne negro population of South Corolina : In IT'JO it numbered 107,OUU; in 1SUU, 146,000; in 1810, 196,000; in 1820, 250.000 : in 1830, 315,000: in 1840, 377,000; in 1850, 381,000; in 1860, 402,000. According to the annual av erage, from the population of the freedmen in 1865 may be presumed to have been 421,000. But according to the State census in 1866, it diminished to 386,000, leaving a deficiency of 35, 000, or an. average of 8,776 per an num in the, State of South Carolina alone. It L might be allowed to spec-k ulate on this question, I would say that, . i ii in my opinion, tne decrease nas ueen not less than 50,000. But taking the figures themselves, even a.t that rate, in less than forty-four years, the entire colored population of South Carolina will have disapeared. Qomal River, Texas. The Co mal river, in Texas, is only 200 miles Ion": from its Source to where it crap ties into the Caudaloupe, yet it is as lare as the Mcriraac, knows neither freshet nor drought, and has a rapid fall. Situated in the centre of the firi est wool growing country in the world, and surrounded by the industrious Ger mans of New Uraunfels, its surpassing advantages for woolen manufacture were never developed till during the war, when a splendid mill was erected and equipped with Manchester machin ery. The "Oneida." The Board of Trade of Great Britain, in an official communication to the Foreign Office, states that the Board is of opinion that the sentence of Captain Eyre by the English court at Yokohama, is "inade quate to the gravity of the offence." The Board does not consider itself jus tified in commencing criminal proceed ings against Captain Eyre, but says that the United States Government, or those who suffered loss by the death of relatives, may bring suit for damages against the owners of the Bombay, to settle the question of the bad naviga tion of that vessel. gMi 44 The Red Bluff (Cal) Independent of June 2d, says : There seems to be quite a large immigration to Oregon this summer. Scarcely a day goes by but that several teams pass through town on their way, to the "web nation." This emigration seems to be caused by the failure of crops in theower part or the fetate. A large portion are from the San Joaquin Valley, and -the gen eral accounts given by them are that the crops of that valley are almost a total failure. Many are well supplied with agricultural implements, and when questioned as to the propriety of tak ing them with them, say they were un able to sell them ' at any price, hence the necessity. The only organ gossip's tongue. without stops is a .Telegraphic Summary. Washington," Jue 13. The Presi dent has sent to Congress a message in condemnation of the atrocious manner in which the conflict in Cuba is car ried on on both'sides, and representing that the object of the Cubans who urge their recognition us belligerents is to embroil us in warfare, and declar ing his inability to see in the present condition! of Cuba those elements re quired to constitute yar in any sense of international law, and inviting the attention of Congress to all the rela tions and bearing of the question in connection with the declaration of neu trality and the granting of belligerent rights. The message was referred to the Foreign Committee by both houses. Chicago, June 14. The Ti?nes' Washington special says the President's message on Cuban Affairs created quite a sensation, no less for the matter than for the manner. Thurman, in thrjSen- ate, characterized it as a proclamation to the Cubans to lay down, their arms. Cox, in the House, said it was the most imprudent message ever sent to the the American Congress, and asserted that Caleb Cushing wrote, it. Washington, June 16. The Pres ident sent the following nomination to the Senate to-day : Amos Ackerman, of Georgia, to be Attorney General of the United States vice E. K. Hoar, re signed. Ackerman is U. S. Attorney of Georgia, a native of New Hamp shire, formerly an old line Whig and an active'ltejblican since the forma tion of the party. He is an able law-, yer and well qualified for the position. The House proceeded to vote on the Cuban resolutions. Logan's amend ment to give parties the same advan tage of intercourse and trade with the United States, consistent with the laws of nations, was rejected by 101 to 77. Bingham's substitute was then voted on and carried affirmatively through all stages, so that tins resolution is fiually adopted. The excitement here, owing to the state of Cuban affairs, exceeds anything ever before witnessed. Pri vate assurance of a recast of the whole Cabinet is freely given by the Presi dent, inere are ominous hints or im peachment. Butler is emphatically ex ecrated by Republicans. The Tribune's dispatch contradicts the rumors that Secretary Fish is about to resiirn, or that there is any disagree- ment between him and the President No reason exists for believing Hoar's resignation indicates any change in the Cabinet. Ihe Presidents Cuban mes sage was under consideration in the Cabinet two weeks before it was sent lo Congress. The best information leads fo the conclusion that it was written by Assistant Secretary of State, Davis, and revised by Secretary lish and At tdrney General Hoar. An Infernal L'rime. ine crime charged against a man named Lang a dealer in picture frames in New York city, is one that should give him pre eminence in the criminal catalogue for diabolical intent. He shipped a box in April last on the New Orleans steam er and secured an insurance upon it of S1.G50. and the box proved ttf have beeu prepared with explosive and in flammable material, and was only pre vented from burning the ship by the - . IV watchfulness and activity of the Capt tain. In the box were vessels of alco hoi, gasoline and turpentine, and fire was apparently to have been set to these by a chemical that would explode oy friction. The friction was provided for by mice shut up in a box, who, in gnawing their way out, were to fire the train tiiat would have destroyed the ship and all her company at sea. Here then is, if the charges prove true, j man who deliberately contrives that awful calamity, fire on a ship at sea contrives Hie possible frightful death of twenty or thirty persons to secure thA email nrize of S1.G50 insurance money, lie should be tried by a jury1 of sea captains and sailors. It has been said that every man has at least one good point in his charac ter, A gentleman, traveling on Sun day, was obliged to stop and have one of the shoes of his horse replaced. The farrier was just going to church, but suggested to the traveler that Jem Har rison might be found at home at the npxt fdrto. This proved to be true: and the rustic who had led the gentle man's horso to the spot, exclaimed, "Well, I must say that for Jem. for it is the only good point about him, he do never go to church. - Is a temperance lecturer synonymous 1 with a waterspout? r PROFESSIONAL CARDS, dC.
