We have the assurance from thou- ‘ sands of them who largely adver tise that it does pay, if judiciously pursued, and many of them have . given their testimony'in favor of it If the reader will take up any of the city papers from day to day for years, he will find the columns fiilled with the announcements of leading business bouses. They do not come before the public at long intervals, but regularly, dai ly, changing their advertisements with the variations in their stocks, qualities and prices of goods, thus not only attracting attention to what they have to sell, but arous ing the desire of buyers to examine what is offered; thus making cus tomers and popularizing their places of business. This class of men will tell you, in this day of competition, that it would be im possible to do business, or secure anything like an average trade, if they did not invite custom by giv ing in detail a clear statement of what they have got to sell. On the other hand, thousands of men who have started, in business with fair capital, plenty of push and a knowledge of trade, have gone to the wall simply because they “hid their light under a bush el,” in failing to compete, with their neighbors in having the buy ing public know where they were, wbajfc they were selling, and what inducements they had to offer. A man may have the best stock of goods in the market, but if he fails to invite custom or make known the inducements he can offer, he is sure to drop behind in the race, while his sharper brother is reap ing a rich harvest. pussy’s eye i6 small and of oval shape, while in a full glare of light it becomes narrow. . Now, in the dark it expands to a circle and nearly-fills the circle of the eye ball. This peculiarity of the cat’s eye is turned to account in a curi ous manner by the Chinese. The' Abbe Hue relates that when he j was traveling in 'China he asked his attendant what time it was. The man went over to a cat that was quietly basking in the sun, and examing its eyes, told the abbe that it was about two hours after noon, and on being questioned how he knew-that, he explained that the pupils of a cat’s eyes were largest in the morning, and that they gradually grew smaller as the light increased till they reaeh their minimum at noon; that they began to widen again, till at night they once more became large. The good abbe was filled with admiration at the ingenuity of a people who could use cats as clocks. But it must be admitted that this way of telling the time of day is a rather loose one, and could only be trusted in very clear and serene weather, for temporary gloom or the darkness of a storm would sadly derange your four-footed clock and put it all wrong.

The .Mohammedans aver that the man who eats owl becomes the obedient slave of his wife. T. Warren Aiken, who, is a strong supporter of Col. Everett, sent the following to the Borne Tribune of Sunday: “A public meeting was held here in Carters- ville Saturday to elect delegates to the Borne convention. About 59 wore present, of whom 50 were Ev erett men, attracted by curiosity. Over 600 of Dr. Felton’s friends, neighbors and fellow-citizens, have signed a petition asking him not to run for congress, stating that they felt it their duty to do all in their power to elect- Mr. Everett, as he waB fairly nominated. Bartow is . practically solid for Everett.” Canon Taylor, of the Church of England, is now of the opinion that some better way must be found to convert the heathen of Asia and Africa. By natural growth of population they are in creasing at the rate of 11,000,000 a year. By spending §10,000,000 a year the Protestant missionaries convert an average of 60,000 heath ens. The numbers are constantly swelling on the wrong side. Canon Taylor says it is like a tortoise racing with a railway train—“the longer the race continues the fur ther the tortoise is lest behind.” Instead of growing new varieties of roses now, florists simply grow ordinary white roses and dip them in a chemical solution which, in a single hour, converts them into the most magnificent yellow tea roses, the rare scarlet red roses, or gives them that peculiar shade of bluish violet color which has been one of the favorites of the season.

Her eyesight- has become very poor, and her health is somewhat broken. A movement is well on foot to import Egyptian cotton into Mas sachusetts, and an agent is already making the necessary arrange me'nts. The idea of the promoter of the scheme, states the Commer cial Adviser, is that the cost_of transportation from the Southern States is so great that money can be saved by making this change. Regularly every six months the treasury department receives eith er a.S20 of a §50 bill which, from all appearances, instead of being' madetfronTa plate, is executed en tirely with a pen. The work is of a very high order, and several times these bills have defied detec tion and passed on their tour of circulation unhindered. The coun terfeiter seems to be a genius who yearns for notoriety, as lie could make his living by his penman ship. The culprit has not yet been captured,.though efforts have been- made to find him, and it is believed that he has had the pleas ure of viewing his. handiwork in a little frame which hangs on the the walls of- the treasury build- ing. “Man wants but little here be low,” is certainly the motto of some natives in India. A man of 40 being recently examined before magistrate at Bangalore stated that he earned daily a quarter of an anna (about Ljr pence) by bot tling ginger beer, and that he was quite satisfied with his wages and posstion. The shot that Bepresentative Kennedy fired at Senator Quay, not only hit the mark it was aim edat, but it seems also tohavedis- tiurbed the entire republican camp, judging from the commo tion caused among the republicans. It was a better shot than any that the democrats have fireil at the re publicans, and probably did more damage; - When republicans begin to fight among themselves it is safe to conclude that their day of pow er is nearly over. —Savannah News.
