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.

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.” ■ -i- 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 were five applicants for the two positions, each 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 con county, and for the Naval Academy, Mr. James H. Oliver,] of Hawkinsville, son of Col. Thad. G. Oliver, who was killed at Charleston, S. C., in ISC4. In accord mce with the recommen dation of the Board. General Cook made the appointments. Tue appointees are young men ot unusual promise. The entertainment given to the Georgia Teach ers’ Association iu Atlanta, on the 30th nil., by the Beethoven Society, was a grand success. Thb President has 6ent the regular monthly reutal ot #.5,000, lor the State road, to the treas urer. 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. * **♦ Rev.
