* Advertising.— “ Merchants and
others in the South,” says the Mobile Rem
itter, “whose success in business mainly de.
pends upon ‘keeping before the people,’
that is to say, of letting the world know
what they have to sell, are at last finding
out the truth of an anxion adopted by a cele
brated impressario of showmen, that ‘prin
ter’s ink is the cheapest thing that a busi
ness man enn invest in.’ In old times—
that is before the war—Southern merchants
were notoriously chary in their use of the
newspaper as a medium of communication
with their customers, and most of them
economized (as they supposed) in advertis
ing, as at best but an expensive necessity.
Our long experience and observation have
taught us that liberal advertising and com
mercial success were almost suro to go hand
in hand. We have our eye now on
one of the most successful merchants
that Mobile has known in the past twenty
years, and the founder of a house that
now stands at the bead of its lino of
business, who was always a firm be
liever in the virtue of printer’s ink and
who showed his faith by his practice. Since
the war ended, the custom of advertising
has grown into a decided fashion. Our own
ample columns give daily proof of it, in
which the observant readers will find that
that branch of our business has doubled
and trebled since the anto-bellum era.”
\ .
The Eclipse of the Moon to-night.
—There will be an eclipse of the moon this
(Friday) evening, commencing at fifty-two
minutes after nine o’clock, the total ob
scuration being greatest at nine minutes
after ten o’clock, and ending at thirty-nine
minutes after twelve o’clock. It 'will be
visible throughout tho United States. The
Petersburg Express says :
While speaking on astronomical subjects,
we may advert to the absurd statement
which went the rounds of the papers a few
weeks ago in regard to tho moonless month
of February. Some wiseacre asserted that
such a case had not happened for a great
number of years, and would not happen
again for ages to come. Now every man at
all conversant with the science of astronomy
is aware of the fact that the heavenly bodies
p :rform a complete cycle in exactly nineteen
years, when precisely the same phenomena
recur. An almanac, therefore, which is
nineteen years old, answers all the practical
purposes of one of the current year. We
are assured that in tho almanac of 1847, the
phases of the moon for February correspond
with tho3e of last month within less than
one minute. There will be no occasion,
therefore, to go beyond 1885 for the repro
duction of all tho ephemera of the present
year.
City election.
The annual election for
Mayor and three Members of
Council from each Ward, to serve for the

Wm. J. Owens, or eithor two of them.

Lamback, and D. B. Plumb, or either two

After the votes in tho several Wards are
counted, the Managers will repair to the
City Hall, and consolidate the votes for

duly elected Members of Council.
