Ar* Adv<*rtUriionti* Kchil i
There are occasionally a few persons wjotre
so stupid as to believe that advertisements in the
newspapers are not generally read, and conse
quently Ihat money expended in advertising ir
practically wasted. Ev a each will conced tbit
If tweuty mi n of ready wit, flnent speech and po
lite civility, were to call upon twenty others and
secure the attention of each stifli-dt ntly long fog y
that Johnson or William*, in a c-ruin focili’y,
ha ctrtain ar’i !e* to dispose of at certain pri
ces, or that they wished to dispose of a c< rtain
farm, or would loan m -nty, or indeed, tonow
money and give certain collaterals, etc —we say
such men will conceed that the service of the e
troety men would be of great benefit tc John-on
or Williams, and iu some manner advautageou
to the party to wl cm this intelligence *c given.
Now the eervices of these men are certainly more
costly than one issue of the paper that would bear
the information to foaroid more persons. Ail
this is done by the newspaper at a comparative! ,
small cost, and the visits are made week after
week and day attc, day.
The “drummer” who travels addresses himself
to the ear, and not unfrequently attacks the
party whose patronage he solicits when his mind
Is absorbed in business, or his personal engage
ments are of such a nature as to prevent the pos
sibility of a consideration; but the newspaper
goes to the party eonght, unbidden, and ad
dresses him through the eye, when his mind 5>
tree and his thoughts ate gathering in all the in
formation that wili redound to his pecuniary ad
vancement, or devel >p new schemes for future
manipulation.
But there are not a few among those who all.-et
to believe that theie is no benefit to be derived
lrom advertising, urge as an objection that adver
tisements are but seldom read, l.et those who
are so incredulous Insert an advertisement offer
ing to purchase some article that is pleutifnl
in Ue marker, and they will be overrun with of
fers to sell before the publisher can diet ibute his
type. An enterprising and respectable weekly,
that approx mates a circulation of fifteen hundred
copies, occupies a position to render valuable aid
to the foreign or home merchant who deals in
domestic articles c-f any character. Iu its sphere,
a weekly has unattainable advantages over the
daily as an advertising medium, for the reasou
that the former is a fireside paper, and is generally
the lamily visitor, wnile the latter is for the coun
ter, office or tbe reading room.
Some urge that they have as many customers
as they cau supply; such an argument is simply
puerile, for there is no one of brains, business tact
and energy, but what he desires tnoie customers
and greater sales, assuming of course that every
oue makes money, and he who dues not is simply
thriftless, and ehonld devote his energies to some
other avocatiou.
Coming Letters —The Atlanta Constitution
say s:
“ lu les3 than a mouth the new postal cards will
begin to lit about the country. They have been
In use across the 6ea for a long time, and are very
popular. Already orders hrve been received at
the department for 30,000,000, and the Postmaster
General calculates that 150,003,000 cards will
be called for the tirst year. They will be
for sale at every postcflice, singly or in quan
tities, the same as postage stamps are now.
“They are simply ea-ds, and nothing more. No
envelope or stamp is required—nothing but an
address on the one 6ide and a message on the
other are necessary to send them forth full fledged
into the world of letters. The oue cent card
takes the place ol the paper, euvelope and stamp
—if the writer is willing. It is not expected that
Tom Scott will use them when he dictates to his
confidential agents the inodtn operandi ol anew
railway cot quest, or thut Arabella and Aiphonso
will condiii t tl.eis delicate uflYn s on the unhidden
surface ; but 1 be re is enough of p'ain square busi
ness in tin- country to in. ke me messengers im
mensely u-eiul amt popular.
“The cards are tc be pttitled on ‘bond paper,’
that is paper worked together in a solid sheet
without pasting. They will be five aud oue
eighth inches long, by three inches wide, and are
of two shades of velvet brown, bearing on one
side a stamp with the “ liberty” head surrounded
by the words *U. 8 Postage oue cent’ in lath
work, aud.having beside the words 1 United States
Postal Card.’ Printed across the face are lines
for the address, with the water mark ‘ U. S. P. O.
I).’ across the body of the card; while Ue reverse
side is a blank surface, on which a brief letter
may be written or a business card pi luted To us
the prospect of brief letters is the best feature of
the uew mode of correspondence.”
A Hhalthy Srbsch. —One of the best and most
appropriate speeches ever delivered before a leg
islativc body was that of Senator McClure, of the
Pennsylvania Legislature. After spending a long
session in passing measures so iniquitous that
even Hartranft was compelled to veto them, and
in obeying the behests ol Simon Cameron, the
members determined to cap the climax by ievit
ing Colonel McClure to address them on the sub
Ject of reform, whose battle ho had been fighting
ail winter. The intention was to expose the
Colonel to ridicule, but he tamed the tables upon
the “ ling ” in the following pungent speech:
21 r. Speaker and Common ers of the State of Penn
sylvania: I thank you for the distinction you
have conferred upon me by yonr invitation to ad
dress you on the subject ot reform. I know of
no other body ot men, either ot the present or
past, that needs instruction on the necessity ot
both public and private morality so much as the
House of Representative of this State now befo re
me [applause,] or that ha 6so broadly and deeply
experimented in the Hue of individual and official
profligacy. I am not surprised, however, tha! it is
so, when I consider that of the members serving
in thla House, from my immediate locality, many
were not even nominated, and tew, if any, were
ever elected. [Shouts M laughter.] I Bent you
reform bills which cost me many days of anxious
thought and labor to perfect, but you danced not
when I piped to you, neither did you weep re
sponsive to my mourning, over the degeneracy of
the body politic. I must admit, however, that
you were prompt executioners, for every bill
which looked toward reform was negatived with
a yell as fast as rules would allow. But in poli
tics, as oiten in moral and religious cycles, the
darkest hour is just before the dawn ot day, and
it is gratifying that, after you have consummated
all the harm you can possibly inflict upon the
Stale, you have, by a unanimous resolution, called
for a confessor. It was well to pause thus, just
for the sake of novelty or reference, so that when
the tempest breaks you can point to this becom
ing act of contrition for the wrongs done to your
constituents and to the commonwealth. [Ap
! plause and sarcastic shouts.] Most of you, who
i have for three months been serving in the places
I to which other persons were elected by the peo
ple, have discounted the retributive wave of pop
ular reprobation by creating offices by legislative
enactments to which you hope to retire; and
these unprovided tor hope to be placed on the
Indefinite pay roll ol the pasters and folders of
the House, in accoidance with the present cus
tom here to pension decayed statements. [Shouts
of laughter. 1 That you seek liberal counsels lo
hare good seed sown in the chaos of virtue that
surrounds you is a hopeful s>gn of the times ; and
if you do not cheat us more than 30,000 in Phila
delphia next fall, the places that know yon now
will know most of you no more for ever. [Laugh
ter.] Put I turn to the faint silver lining on the
deep cloud of your record. One act of this House
gladdened the hearts of the whole people of the
State, and reinspired hope throughout the length
and breadth of the Commonwealth. I refer to
youi vote in the midst of disorder, that a*, a Phil-
adelphia fire would be called a riot on Monday
evening last, fixiig an earl j day for your fin 1
adj lurnuent. [Laughter] iam happy to point
to it as the oasis in the wi* tiered desert that you
hi'Ve made about yon, and i** accotu vou credit
tor i . Hoping, gentlemen, I may be pardoned
the use of the term [laughter j that the le: gth ot
yonr official fives correspond wi*h the measure ct
your virtues, and that you will he succeeded by
better men iha*. yourselves, 1 bid y. u good night.

Health ami Talent.
From the Merchant’s Bulletin w clip the lo -
lowing: _
“It is no exagggfation to say that health is a
large ingredient of what the world calls talent. A
man without it may be a giant in intellect, but
bL deeds will be the deeds of a dwarf. Ou the
contrary, let him have a quick calculation, a good
digestion, the bulk, thews, and sinews of a man,
and the alacrity aud unthinking confidence in
spired by these, end, though having but a thimble
full ol brains, he will either blut der upon sue
or set failure at defiance. It is true, es
pecially in this country, that the number of
centaurs in every community—of men in wh->m
heroic iuteLecU are allied with bodily constitu
tions as those of horses —is small; that, in geaer
al, a man has reason to think himself well off in
the lottery of life if he dr. w- the prize of a
healthy stomach without a mind, or the prize ot
a fine intellect with a crazy stomach. 3ut ot the
two, a weak mind in a Herculean Jr line is better
than a giant mind in a crazy constitution. A
pound of eneigy, with an ounce of talent, will
achieve greater results than a pound of talent
with an ounce of energy. The first requisite to
success is to be a good animal. In any ol the
learned professions a vigorous constitution is
equal to at least fifty per cent, more brain. Wit,
judgment, imagination, eloquence, all the quali
ties of the mind, attain thereby a force aud splen
dor to which they could never approach without
it. But intellect in a weak body is “ like gold in
a spent swimmer’s pocket.” A mechanic may
have tools o! the sharpest edge aud highest pol
ish, but what arc these without a vigorous arm
and hand ? Of what use is it that your mind be
come a vast granary of knowledge if you have not
strength to tain the key ?”
New Trial, oi the Wood Case.— Many of our
rendets are familiar with the details of this case
and know the efforts m ide by Wood to avoid the
[ eniteutiary. The Supreme Court, last week,
granted anew tml t'' e second time.
The Atlanta Herald gives the following clear
and succinct statement of the points as decided:
The opiuion delivered by Judge MeCay was
able and elaborate. He held that a promise of
marriage by a married man nude to a female well
apprised ol the tact ol his marriage, is not suffi
cient to constitute seduction, and that defendant’s
plea in bar of the prosecution should have been
sustained to the first Court, which only set torLh
the promise of marriage. This promise of mar
riage, under the circumstances. Judge MeCay he'd
a complete saie of her chastity, as much so as if
she had consented for money. He conceded that
married men could commit the offense of seduc
tion by fiaudulent means other than promises of
marriage, and also by promises of marriage where
his marriage was not known to the female to whom
the promise is made. He farther held that the
charge ol Judge H pkins iu reference to what
constitutes a virtuous unmariied woman, and the
test of her virtue, was erroneous; that a female
who has not had iutetcourse with a man mey stiil
not i>e virtuous, and that it was therefore error
tor the Judge to refuse to give in charge to the
jury, upon the written request of the defendant’s
counsel, a pertinent charge to the effect that las
civious practices and undue familiarities might
be considered by them. The Judge further stated
that the record disclosed that this undue lamiliar
ity had been proved against Miss Chivers before
this offence was alledged to have been committed
and denied by her; that if the testimony of Collier
is true, the girl was not seduced. Judge Trippe
concurred in the decision, but disagreed with
Judge MeCay as to the proper definition of a vir
tuous unmarried female, and the test of her virtue
and sustained the opinion of Judge Hopkins in
this respect, but thought the new trial should be
granted tor seveial reasons. He stated that the
idea of an intelligent female being seduced by
tiffs promise cf marriage, was as unreasonable as
by tlie promi*e o! a palace from a pauper ora
crown tioiu a beggar. Both these Judges held
that, according to Ter own admission, Miss Chi
vers had herself been guiity ot the grossest hy
pocrisy and dalliance—being fami’iar with Wood
for a long while and attending church and partak
ing of the sacrament at the same time. The dis
senting opinion of Judge Warner was clear,elabo
rate and able. He thought the opinion of Judge
Hopkins ought to be affirmed principally on the
ground that the jury, whose province it was to
pss upon the facts of the case bad returned him
guilty under a legal charge ol the Court. Th 9
case is, however, remitted for anew hearing,
which will take place at the next session of the
Supreme Court of DeKaib in September next.
The Atlanta Herald siyr: “ A jury iu Albany,
Dougherty county, has just rendered a verdict for
ten thousand dollars, in favor of the heirs of John
8. Scurry against the Cotton States Life Insur
ance Company, under the following circumstances
ns we obtain them from the Supervisor ot the
Company: An agent of the Cotton States, Mr.
John I. Raines, applied to Mr. John S. Scurry, to
get him to insure his life. Mr. Scurry consented,
and made applicaMon for a policy of ten thousand
dollars. He gave his note for $365, tbe amount
of premium, and received theretor the following
receipt:
“ Received of J. S. Scurry, three hundred and
sixty-five dollars in full, for insurance in tbe Cot
ton States Insurance Company. This receipt to
be biuding until the policy is received.
John S. Raines, Agent.”
“ The company rejected the application for tea
thousand dollars, and Rains, the ageut, informed
Scurry, and requested him to return the receipt.
Subsequently Raines, without authority from
Scurry, applied for a five thousand dollar policy,
and ieceived it from the company, hut never de
livered it, and before he could get the receipt
from Scurry, Scurry died. On this state of facts
the suit was brought and tried before Judge Stro
zier, and a verdict rendered for the vidow. We
have always found that an Insurance Company or
any other sort of a company, has no chance before
a jury when a widow and children are plaintiffs.
The case will be carried, of course to the Supreme
Court.”

The Western Storm. —The recent storm along
the line of the Union Pacific, in Nebraska, ia de
scribed a3 severe as that of 1853. The wind swept
over the plains with a velocity of seventy miles
an hour; houses were blown down and hidden
from sight under the drifting snow ; valuable
cattle stampeded from corais and were lost and
drowned ; prairie animals were lrozen to death
and maimed by the terrible wind, which dashed
them about almost like small birds, and many
human lives were lost. In some places rivers
were completely bridged with snow ranging ia
depth from fifteen to eighteen feet, and sodensely
were ’hey packed that loaded wagons were after
wares driven over with perfect safety. At last
repair a the farmers at Wood river, where no live
are known to have been lost, hau organized them
selves into companies for the purpose ot scouting
the country, to ascertain the exieDt ot the damage
done and to -ender aid to those who may require
U. Many immigrants wme encamped along the
lice of the road before the storm began, and it is
feared tbit most of lotia have perished, as noth
ing has yet been heard from them.
The Americas Republican says the examination
of applicants for cadetship from the Third Con
gressional District took place in this city before
a competent board of examiners, selected by Gen.
Phil. Cook, on Saturday the 26th of April. There

of whom were thoroughly examined, and passed
a very creditable examination. The Board re
cc lamended for the West Point Cadetship, Mr
D. A. Frederick, son of Jas. D. Frederick of Ma

James H. Oliver,] of Hawkinsville, son of Col.
Thad. G. Oliver, who was killed at Charleston,

bisroVEKins at Pompeii.— Tbe Units Nazion
alt-, ot Naples give:, an account of some Interest
ing researches recentH made in tbe ruins of the
buried citi : “In the porch of a small house two
skeletons were touml, one of them being incon
teatibly that of a woman, as it had on a bracelet
of massive gold, cf an urusaal form, composed of
thick rings soldered to each other, the whole
being fastended by two pieces of wire cf 'he same
metal. The day after, in the garden of the same
dwelling, was discovered a small st.Vue, stated,
about two teet high, of a rather uncommon
model. It is in terra-cGtta, but of no definite
type. The head, in fact, is absolutely that ot Ju
piter; the figure ia covered with a tunic, having
short sleeves, which only ct ver the upper part ot
the anas ; the legs aud tuuds arc crossed ; a cloak
falls from the shoulders and envelopes the lower
limbs; tbe right hand holds a papyrus, so that
the belief is it must represent a philosopher.
“ Two days after, however, a more important
woik of art was round at the bottom ot another
garden contiguous to the one above mentioned,
namely, a marble Venus, measuring, with the
base, more than a yard in height. It is in perfect
preservation, as it only wants two fingers of the
right hand, but the most remarkable charaete:is
tic is that it D colored. The excavations of Pom
peii an Herculaneum have produced many other
specimens ot paiuted marble, but the tints have
all, mere or less, faded away. In tbe present work
the hair is yellow, the eyelashes ard eyebrows
black; the ehalamys which, from the left arm
passing behind the shoulders, descends on the
legs and covers the lower parts, is alio tinted yel
low outside, while the interior folds show at the
edges seme tracts ct blue and red. The nude
parts are white, the left arm, the hand of which
holds the apple ot Paris, rests upon a smaller
statue, the drapery ot which is also tinted yellow,
green aud black.”
Esipress op Austria. —The Empress of Aus
tria will be the grand ceutral star of the great
Exposition. It is meet that something ot ro
mance should attach to the history of a princess
who is called the handsomest woman iu Europe;
and it is, therefore, not surprising to find that
Elizabeth of Bavaria, when scarcely sixteen years
ot age, became, uneoncciou6ly, the heroine of one
of those pleasant and unexpected episodes which,
at times, illumine tbs records ol influential fami
lies in every quarter of the globe. Five or six
years after the young Emperor, Francis Joseph,
had ascended the throne of Austria, lie paid a visit
to his aunt, the Ditches Louisa, of Bavaria, at
Ichl. He had been attracted thither more espe
cially by the fame of the beauty of his cousins,
Helene and Elizabeth—the latter born on tbe 2ffth
of December, 18317. Thera was to be a great fete,
and it was supposed by the Duches that lieiene
the elder cf the two ladies, was to be the star of
the occasion ; but, beautiful as she was, tbe Em
peror, to the dismay and consternation of his
aunt, had set his eyes upon Elizabeth, and, not
withstanding that her extreme youth was urged,
aud that it was, In addition, pleaded the wardrobe
was not such as to do justice to herself or the oc
casion, he determined teat she should be pre
sented, and that, if nee*.ssary, the fete should be
sufficiently rustic to come within the scope of
even a plain, white muslin dress. Tbe result of
all this was the beautiful young daughter of the
Duke, Maximilian Joreph, and the Duchess al
ready mentioned, was married to Francis Joseph,
aud crowned Empress ot Austria, April 24, 1854,
and Queen of Hungary, June 8, 1867. She is now
In her thirty-seventh year, and although the
mother ol several children, is still as beautiful as
the day.
Judging bt Appearance.—A good story is
told by a yankee editor, ia illustrating the folly
o! appearances. A persou. dressed in a suit ot
homespun clothes, stepped into a house in Bos
ton, on some business, several ladies were as
sembled in an inner room—one of the company
remarked iu a low tone that a countryman was in
waiting, and agreed to have some fun. The Pil
lowing dialogue ensued :
“ You’re from the country, I suppose ?”
“ Yes, I’m from the country.”
“ Well, sir, what do you think of the city ?”
“ It’s got a tarnal sight of houses in it.”
“I expect there are a great many ladies where
you come liom V'
“Oh yea, a woundy eight; j ust for all the world
like them,” pointing to the ladies.
“ And you are quite a beau among them, no
doubt.”
“ Yes, I beau e’m to meeting and around.”
“May.bo the gentleman will take a drink of wine
said one of the party.
“ I thankee, don’t care.”
“ But you must drink a toast.”
“ I eats toast, what Aunt Debby makes, as to
driukin, I never Beed the like.”
What was'the surprise of the company to hear
the stranger speak as follows :
“Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to wish you
health and happiness, with every other blessing
the earth can afford, and I advise you to bear in
rniud, that we are often deceived by appearances.
You mistook mu by iny dress for a country booby;
from the same cause, 1 thought these men ware
genii men. The deception is mutual, I wish you
good evening.”
Cool.— A sentimental pickpocket asks the Tri
bune to advise Us readeis always to leave their
names and addresses in their pocket-books- It
frequently happens, ho says, “ in our line of busi
ness,” that gentlemen ol his profession come into
possession of private papers and photographs
which they would be glad to return, if they had
any means of doing so. As it i3 dangerous to
carry them about they are reluctantly compelled
to destroy them. This gentlemanly pickpocket
grows quite tender over a photograph of a sweet
baby he found in a pocket-bock, which came into
his hand in the way of business. He had lost a
baby himself, the year before, ot the same age,
and would have given all he had for such a picture
of his darling. So touched was this gentle thief
that he advertised for the owner of the photo
graph, and for so doing got shadowed by the
police. The advice he gives is really good and
should be heeded by the public. W'hen he gets
pulled, as is inevitable in the line of business he
has adopted, it is to hi hoped he may get a light
sentence.
The Length of Days.— The days are lengthen
ing perceptibly, and most people have daylight
enough now to do all the work they aspire to.
We are now getting 13 hours, good measure, be
tween sunrise and sunset. We cannot compare
in this line with some of the European countries,
however. At Hamburg the longeet has seventeen
hours the shortest seven. At Stockholm, the
longest has 18 and a half hours, and the shortest
5 and a half. At St. Petersburg, the longest 19
and the shortest five hours. At Wonderbus in
Norway, the day last from the 21st of May to the
2nd ot July, the sun not getting below the ho
:izon fur the whole time, but skimming J!ong
very close to it in the North. At SpitzLergen,
the longest day lasts 3 month sand a tail.
The Chronicle and Seatine! says:
A number of citizens report the sight of a bal
loon passing over the upper part ot the city Tues
day alternoon. a man in the basket was observtd
to waive his hat, but failed to drop any written
communication as to the point from which be
commenced his (trial voyage or as to his intended
destination. It is supposed that the atoresaid
voyager bad run out ot paper collar stationery be
fore ne reached Augusta, and thit he carried with
him no surplus keys, or else he would not have
failed to write a pathetic aopeal to have his
friends informed ct his whereabouts and probable
tragic late.
