Nov 8 6mo 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. - ■ Misfortune is the common lot of all. ANOTHER SPEECH FROM THE PRESIDENT. Kopiy lo n IV-li-snlion from tloiitiiua Hr Stand* by Elis Kocont l>orlnr:- (ioa of Principles. . 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. j ‘ • 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- phis Bulletin. I.QSMC* in lltli(jiinil •>? die I'ottnii 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 mereal world in days to come as she did in days of yore —the great Southern sta° pie will still in a great measure be king in future as it has in years past. Siic Ti-an-it. The New York JVeics thus chron icles the demise of that great female sensation, “the waterfall It is with sincere pleasure that we chronicle the overthrow of “the water* fall.” True, there arc still a few of them to be seen, but they arc iookid upon with scorn and contumely;‘and the beautiful ‘coil’ which has taken its place is universally admired for its an* : tique style. The hair curled across the | top of the head aud drawn down to* ! wards the forehead, banded down with . • ----- - ; gold band or cord, corresponds beau* tifully with tho coil head dress. It is to L-e regretted that, the taste for dis play. on the part of American ladies ; in general, will soon destroy the classic simpiisit.y of this sryle of head-dress, and instead of the roll of haarr wound into a graceful coil at the back, and, the j ‘ light curling mass banded close to the i head in front, we should see the coil overrun with short circles that in the nature of things, could not possibly grow over a large mass of hair, and in front, til sizes of rate and mice under the prettp curls. However, it is if well to take the goods the gods provide and not to be seeking for trovble in tho future. And so we will continue to admire the present improvement in j | hair drssing; imread of fore telling the misfortunes that mny overtake it Washington, Ffb, 13 —ln the House, Mr. Bingham, from the (Join- j uattec on Resolutions, reported an amendment to the Federal Constitu tion to be submitted to the State Legt islatures for ratification.

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. - ‘ -- Newspapers. —A perfect mania for newspaper making is at present . raging throughout the country. We hardly get a mail Which does not con’ tain some baby of the press, or the an nouncement that one will be shortly forthcoming. North and South alike tnc fever rages.
