ADVERTISING AND HOW TO
DOIT.
IHI r *liiia I.ecture by I'rofrii.or 11. G.
Eastman, of I'oughUepsie, V.
In Chicago recently, Prof. 11. G.
Kastman, of Roughkepsie, X Y , de
livered a very interesting and instruc- i
live lecture on the science of “ Ad- |
vertising and how to do it succesfully.” I
flic lecturer gave much valuable
1 instnetion to those wishing to advertise,
j and showed that advertising to he suc
cessful must be frequent, generous,
and well considered.
The following is an outline of the
i lecture .
Prof Eastman opened his lecture
jby saying that advertising was not a
’ common subject for lectures. Few
would undertake to say mutch about
this subject. ‘Put advertising was not
properly taught. There were not over
three persons in the United States I
who thoroughly understood advertising ,
Men who could advertise a business
properly could always get good salu j
I ries. There were thousands at the j
moment he was speaking who were j
; endeavoring to write a proper ad vers )
! tisment for the morning papers.
But the proper method of adver- j
thing could be given in four words.
Four words explain it. 1 lie prin
ciple contained in those four words
which had made men rich by its prac
tice. The advertising man of Stewart
got $22,000 for his talent in this res
j pact. But that §22,000 spent for a
: good advertisement got SIOO,OOO in
| return
Ihere is a great deal of talk, about
advertising men —that they are hum
; bugs*—Barnurn humbugs ; but was
any man who visited Barnuin’s Muse”
um, and paid therefoie twenty-five
Cents, willing to say that he had any
the worst museum because he adver
tised it so well ? One of the largest J
pencil uianuf. cturers in the wot Id had
succeeded 1 y advertising. Tl is man
lived in Paris. At first he was un
successful in his business, altho’ he
male better pencils than any one else;
hut -t last he advertised in every pos-
I -ible way he could think ii that would
j secure the attention of the public j
—that would create an excitement ;
and finally become one ot the largest j
manufacturers ol pencils in the world. .
But ho made good penei s, and people
became aware of it.
All the large business houses in
this country advertise largely ; and
spend immense amounts of money for
that purpose. The Metropolitan Ho*
tel was advertised by its pudding. That
pudding was put upon the hotel table j
and it attracted toe attention of the I
quests and was worth to the establish - j
merit a hundred thousand dollars.
The four words refered to were “Ex
cite, but never satisfy them.” They
must not be satisfied until they have
bought the articles ;.and then, if the ar
ticles are good, (as thay ought to be)
customers would come again. To il
lustrate the truth of this the lecturer
related the experience of a young law
yer in St. Louis, remarking in the first
place that a lawyers’ business was gens
erallv supposed to he difficult to tdver.-
fisc. The young lawyer being short
of money and having no business,
iequcjted the lecturer to lend him
$25 to pay his expenses to Cincinnati
The lecturer asked what was the mat*
ter. lie said he had no business, and
had spent all his money. The lecturer
said h would not give him the mon
ey. but would advertise for him, and
promised him that if advertising did
not succeed lie would pay the expen
ses and the twenty five dollars besides.
He requested the young man to go to
his room and write an adverfcisment,
which he did, making a long one, und,
when har.diug it to the lecturer, re
marked that he would have it put in
the cheapest part of the newspapers
That would not do -the lecturer told
him ; the advertisement was too long ;
it most be short and put in the most
prominent paTt of the paper, and wrote
one himself, the only words used be
ing : “E. A. Bates, 19 Pine street, at
torney and ceurteellor at law,'’ the sur
name being in very large’ letters,- the
initials very small; the “attorney and
counsellor at law” in very large let-
ters. Thus, the prominent fact that j
there was a man named Bates and he j
wa* an attorney and counsellor at law ;
was set forth. This attracted atteno i
tion, and afte a while his namo be,,
came well known and because, well
known, its owner was supposed to be a
good lawyer.’ The result was that this
Mr. Bates, 19 Pine street, was now
one of the most wealthy lawyers of St.
Louis.
In Poughkepsie the speaker got a
man to deliver a .ecture at hi - col
lege! People sai l that it w#uld not
succeed —it would not draw an audi
ence. But he was determined to have
an audience, and never failed. The
tiekets were put at a high pr ce to cre
ate an excrement. Then he went to
a printer and ordered him to print a
lot of tickets with the simple word
‘■when’ upon it. This created much
excitement. People could not under
stand it, and asked A each other and
of the printer, what it meant, but the
answe r was everywhere the same —no
one knew what it meant. The next
day an announcement was made that
such a lecturer would deliver an ad
dress —the announcement being plae
,ed under the word “when/’ The re
’ suit was a full house.
Thomasville, Georgia, Wednesday, February, 28, 1866.
To succeed in business men must be
honest. The lecturer had never known
men to succeed unless they were hon
est. Everything must be good that
would succeed.
The proper way to advertise was to
advertise only one article at once. As,
for in-tance, advertise Sugar—Sugar—
: People would have their attention at ’ I
tracted by that one word, and they
would buy sugar, she result would
be that a large sugar business would
be established. But if people adver
tise all they had got to sell they would
not be read. This was so with every -
thing.
If your business was a dry-goods bu
siness, silks, or soiie other article must,
be advertised, and that alone. An cx
citement must be gotten up, and then
business*would follow.
Another rule for successful advertis
ing,. was to advertise in the best place
| in the newspaper, no matter what it
, costs. The advertisement must be in
a conspicuous place, or it would not
; succeed. Merchants in Europe beat
us in advertising. They frequently j
pay SIOO,OOO a year for advertising.
l Stewart, of Xew York, advertised his
; cotton goods all over the Union, liis
j goods alone were advertised, and it
brought him in immense returns. Mr.
Bonner once went to Mr. Dennett, the
editor of “The Xew York Herald,”
and a-ked him : f he could have three
pages in the morrow’s paper for his ad
vertisement of “The Ledger.’’ The
answer was yes, if he would pay dou
ble rates lie might have as much
as he pleased. Upon which Mr Bon
ner said he would have the whole pa
per. The consequence was that the
whole paper had nothing but Bonner’s
advertisement in iL
On one page, in large letters, it was
stated that an article witten by Henry
Ward Beecher would be in “The
Ledger 1” and so on through the whole
eight pages. Mr. Bonner did not ad
vertise all he had to sell, but only at
tracted attention to “The Ledger.”
The people who wished to succeed
must use their brains ; they must not
depend (.n manual work Advertise,
and a thousand men could be got di
rectly for labor on the streets —because
i every one could do it But advertise
j for telegraph company presidents, ere.,
and lew woul ! answer the call. Young
men must cultivate their intellect.
Simply a good hand-writing would not
insure success. Mr. Bonner bought
“The Ledger’ lor S3OO when it only
had a circulation of on? hundred and
twenty five. He went to sec Mr. Bar
nuni to consult what was the best plan
: for advertising. They at last fixed
! upon a rilau, which was to have a sto>
; ry written especially for the purpose,
and printed in every paper in the State
of New York, in cities, and towns, and
villages The name of the story was
the 1 Gunmaker of Moscow.’’ The first
1 part of this story was put into every
paper on the same Saturday morning
At the cud of the first part it stated
! that it wou.d be continued in the New
York Ledger, published by Bonner. —
The story was copied into Massachu
scts papers, thence into those of other
States, and Mr. Bonner soon became
one of the richest publishers in the
United States. The great advantage
of having a large column advertise’
ment in a paper was that it covered
other advertisements —people could
not help seeing it.
But advertisements must be frequent
—a single advertisement would have
no effect. They must be repeated un
til the name of the advertiser becomes
I well known.
But whatever was advertised, no
matter wliat it was, must be of the best
; quality. This was the case with the
| Paris pencil man ; this was the case
with Barn urn’s Museum. Another ex
; ample of this was Barnum. Mr. Bar
n'un paid 8300 for his museum with’
a debt of §B,OOO upon it. The man to
| whom the money was due, once visi
ting Barnum found him eating cold
: dinner, and was • told by him that he
! should cat only cold dinners till the
\ 88,000, was paid. Mr Barnum thou’t
! of advertising, and finally hit npon.the
following plan. He employed a num
: ber of painters, making them promise
not to say anything about what he was
going to do, and ordered them to paint
pictures of all the animals in tire coun
try, and a few that never were in any
I country. These were one night stuck
: all over in froncof the building. When
j the people came past it in the morning
they wondered where they had come
from; and before the day was over the
museum was crowded. And this was
repeated day after day, when at last he
saw several thousand outside unable to
i get in. lie then made a passage to
Ann street,, and advertised that he had
an egress in his museum, which drew
greater crowds than ever, to whom he
showed through the egiess to Ann
street.
— l * •-*
At the recent burial of a soldier and
a young lady, in a town near Paris, the
funeral authorities made the singular
mistake of confounding the two. * The
youn- lady wa3 interred with military
honors, a dragoon regiment following 1
her to the grave, while the soldier's
coffin was covered with white drapery
and flowers, as the symbols of virgin
purity, and was carried to the grave
by four young ladies, a whole galaxy of
damsels escorting the trooper’s re- j
mains, and chanting funeral hymns.

ANOTHER SPEECH FROM
THE PRESIDENT.

. Washington, February 7.
INTERVIEW OF A MONTANA PELF.GA -
TION WITH THE I’RESIDLFT.
This morning a large number of
citizens ®f Montana Territory, now in
Washington, called on the President.
B. M. Pinny, United States Marshal
for the Territory,. Chief Justice llos
iner, Gen. Barrow, and twenty five or
thirty others, were among the number.
Mr. Pinny addressed the President on
behalf of the delegation.
Gentle men : It is no ordinary pleas
ure for me to meet you her - on this oc
casion, and ti hear the sentiments you
have announced.
To receive so large and respectable
a body of intelligent gentlemen from
that region of country from which you
come is highly gratifying to me.” “In
response, sir ” addressing Air. Pinny,
to the eloquent manner iu which you
! expressed the sentiments of those you
! represent, I might content myself with
simply returning my thanks for your
j kind expressions, but you have made
some allusions, which, under ciicunn
* stances surrounding us, I can’t he indif
ferent. You have alluded t great prin
ciples of our Government having been
1 enunciated in a paper sent a short tiim
since to the Congress cf the United
States. The declaration by me of those
principles was not the result of impulse,
it was the result of a thorough and
calm consideration of those great
truths.
If I should take hold of a piece of
machinery that had been constructed
and trained to run harmoniously in
one direction, and attempt by re
verse action to run in an opposite direc
tion, L say no on : can mistake the doc
trine of that message. It is very easy
for persons to misrepresent if, and to
make assertions this, that or other has
taken place., or will take place, but 1
think L may be permitted to say to
you on this occasion, takings.ll my an
teccdcnts, and going back to my ad
vent in public li'c, the cardinal doc
trines set forth in that paper have
been my constant guide. After hav
ing gone so far, it is too late to turn
! and take a different direction. They
1 will b'c my guide from this time on
i ward, and those who understand them
may know where 1. shall always he
found when principle is involved.
Here let mo say to you, in older to
disabuse the public mind, as far as
possible for an individual to do so,
that my career is well nigh done. The
sands of my political glass has well
nigh run out. It I were disposed to
refer to myself, 1 migh trace my career
hack to the log cabin, and then an Al
derman* and Mayor in a village ; and
then through both branches of the leg
islature, and then for ton consecutive
years in the national House of Rep
resentatives; then through the guber
natorial chair to the Senate of the I nh
ted States ; then Provisional Govenor
with a slight participation in military
affaiis ; then Vice Presidut, and now’
in the position I occupy before you.
If I can he instrumental in rest ring to
the Government of the United States,
in restoring to their true position in the
Union, those States whose relations to
the National Government have for a
time been interrupted by one of the
most gigantic rebellions that ever has
occurred in the world, so that tve can
proclaim once more that we are a uni
ted people —I shall feel that the mea
sure of my ambition has been filled,
and filled to overflowing.
“And at that point, if there he any
who are envious and jealous of honor
and position, I shall be prepared to
make them as polite a bow as l know
how, and thank them to take the place
I have occupied, for my mission will
have been fulfilled. . |
“In saying this in the performance j
cf my duty, and'in rCsponce to the en
couragement you have given me, 1 j
feel that 1 am in a condition not to bear 1
rogant; net to feel imperious. I feel
that I can afford to do right, and so
feeling, God being willing, 1 intend
to do right, and so far as in me lies l
intend to administer this Government
upon the principles that lie at th j foun
dation of it. I can inform aspiran s
who are trying to form their combina
tions for the future, who want to make
one organization for’ one purpose and
another for another, that they are not
in my way.
“1 am not a candidate for any posi> ‘
scion and hence repeat that I can afford
to do light—and being in that condi
tion I will do light. I make this au
! nouncement for the purpose of letting
all know that my work is to restore
the government, not to make combina
tions with reference to any future can
didacy for the Presidency of the Uni
ted States. I have reached the ut
most round. My race is run so far as
that is concerned. My object is to
perform my duty, and that I will en- ]
deavor to do.
“Let us, then, all join in this great j
work of restoration, and while we are
res‘orir.g and repairing the breeches
that have been made, let us also unite
in the work of making new States, and
populating them with a people who are
worthy of the Government which pro*
Itects them, and let those new State
governments be founded on principles
in harmony with the great machinery
devised by our fathers. So far as re
gards any aid or assistance that can be
here, in the progress and iu the con
summation*'! this great work of building
up new States as well as in the restor
ation of all the former States you will
find me a willing and a cordial helper. ;
“Gentlman, 1 did not expect this
demonstration, yon will please accept
ray thanks for the compliment you
have paid me on this occasion, and ths
encouragement you have given in. in ,
the discharge of my duty.
‘.‘All lean say in conclusion, is to
assure you that any assistance you may
need front this quarter will be most
cheerfully given to advance the inter
ests of the community you represent.

Extinction of the African.
Gen. Grant states that more than
I one-fifth of the negroes of the South
have died since ISGI. Many excellent
Northern people are amazed—horror
stricken. General Grant does not tell
the whole story. He has only seen
: the effects of liberation from his stand
point as a leader of armies, lie may
; know how fatal war has proven to col
j ored soldiers and camp followers, but
i has seen little of the work of death on.
farms and in southern villages and ci
ties. Few negro children are born,
and n neteen twentieths die within a
year after birth. Marital ties arc ev
erywhere disregarded, and throughout
tiie South, discuses more fatal to nc*
groes than small pox are universally
prevalent. The care of children, once
is no longer practiced.
The action of Congress, constant mis
representation of ex-masters, annoyan
ces to which people are subjected by
many fanatical agents of the Bureau,
and the falsehoods pubii lied by Norths
ern papers, all tend to silence the voice
of kindness and withhold the extended
hand of sympathy. A few more years
of radical supremacy and the uegro
race will be extinct. Those who most
hate the African, should desire most
the triumph of Stevens’ party. —Mem-

Famine.
After a careful investigation, it has
been estimated that during the lour
years that the cotton famine lasted
in England, the loss of manufacti
rers’ profits and of the interest on cap
ital lying idle amounted to about forty
millions sterling, or two hundred mill
ions of dollars--and that the loss of
wages to the great body of operatives
amounted in the same time to thirty
millions, or one hundred and fifty millt
ions, of dollars more. The latter es
pecially, was a dead loss , nor can the
former ever be thoroughly retrieved.
And the lessons learned from these
facts and figures and others in connec
tion therewith, is that England as well
as the balance of the world cannot get
along well without Southern cotton.
Although cotton may not be king as
was claimed until the late civil war,
yet cotton has the power to disarrange
the business and financial affairs oi’ the
world. Therefore, notwithstanding the
great effort of England to ruin this
count;y in order that she and her colons
ies might reign supreme over the com

A Krral l*rorlauinlion.
Listen, dear reader ! 1 have a ines
sage far you, not from your chief mag
istrate, nor from your general, but a
great proclamation from the King of
kings, a gracious and tender invitation,
which comes to you from God the Paths*,
or, from his iSon Jesus Christ, and
from the Holy Spirit, echoed hack and
urgently enforced by the pleadings of
pious friends, perhaps of a Christain
; mother. “Let the wicked forsake
! his way, and the unrighteous man his
’ thoughts; and let him return unto the
Lord, and he will have meicy upon
him; and to our God for he. will
■ abundantly pardon.” “And the Spir
iit and the bride say, come. And let
him that heareth say, come. And let
him that is athirst. Come. And who- •
soever will, let him take the water oi
life freely .” There can be no mistake, •
these words are if you aro a
sinner and. need a savior. Gol in
vites ; stay not, therefore, to inquire it
you feel your need of salvation suffi
ciently. That feeling is only sufficient
when it leads you to come , lingo*’ not
in the vain attempt to tind somethng
to give in exchange for, or to merit this
salvation. The price is already paid
even the precious blood of Christ.
llis righteousness only can avail.
Like the seaman in a storm on the
coast, delay not, wii. n a pilot is offer
ed you, to say, Do 1 feel my need of
him sufficiently ? Can I not do some
thing to save myself? If you linger,
your doom will be scaled. Hasten,
then, to take the Lord Jesus Christ as
your Pilot, your Guide, your All- —
this salvation is all ot grace —the
‘ sinner is nothing and can do nothing.
All is done, and Christ must be all iu
all !
Eternity. —“ Eternity has no grey
hairs !” The flowers fade, the heart
withers, man grows old and dies : the
world lies down in the sepulcher of
ages, but tima writes no wrinkle on
the brow oi eternity.
Eternity ! Stupendous thought!
The event present, unborn, undccayiug
undying, the endless chain, compass
ing the life of God, the golden thread,
entertwiuing the destinies of the unis
verse.
Earth has its beauties, but time,
shrouds them lor a grave; the honors,
they are but as the gilded sepulchers ;
possessions, they are toys of changing
fortune ; its pleasures, they arc but
bursting bubbles.
In the dwelling of the Almighty
can come no footsteps of decay. Its
day will know no darkening, eternal
splendors forbid the approach of night.
Its fountains will never fail, they aro
fresh from the eternal throne. Its glory
will never wane, for there is the ever
present God. Its harmonics will nev
er cease; exhaustless love supplies the
song.

We know not where it will end. Tho
country ccitainly cannot support them

The Memphis Bulletin says: News
papers in the South have sprung into
existence in countless numbers. The
taste for this species of literature was
cultivated by incidents of war, but
very many that now exist must prove
profitless. The Pittsburg Commercial •
sunk seventy thousand dollars in dig
ging its foundations; the New York
World more than one hundred :hous

run it for a few months, is easy enough
when the proprietor has a lew friends
and some credit, but to keep it going-,
when funds are exhausted and the
newspaper market overstocked is a
difficult task. Once get a newspaper
established, and it pays. Like a child,
it is most liable to death before it talks.
