PAltOttS SPEECH.r ^ ' In the tliirty-uintli Congress Senator Hendricks taunted Mr. Chandler with having written, in 1881, a letter in which he said: "The Union is hardly worth preserving without * little blood-letting;* Old Zaclt, replied to Hendricks us follows: Tlie Senator from Indiana has ar­ raigned me upon an old Indictment, for having written a certain letter in 1861. It is hoc the first time that I have been arraigned on that indictment of "blood letting." I was first arraigned for It on tills floor by that traitor. John C Breckinridge, and I answered traitor, John C. Breckinridge; ter I gave %lm that answer Btifllitf the rebel *ra#iiW against our flag. 1 was arraigned by anolher Senator from Keutuckv, and by other traitors, upon this floor. I expecl to be arraigned again. 1 wrote thatlettervand I statu! by the letter; and what was it? What was the posi­ tion of the country when that letter was written? The Democratic party as an organization, had arrayed itself against the Goveruuieiit-^a Democrat­ ic iraitor in the, Presidential chair, and a Democratic traitor in evl»ry de­ partment of this Government; Demo cratlc traitors preaching treason on this floor, and preaching treason in the hall of the other House; Democratic trait­ ors in your Army and In your Navy; Democratic traitors in every depart­ ment of this Government. Your flag was flrcd'upon, and no response. The Democratic party had ordained that this Government should be overthrown and I. as a Senator from Michigan, wrote to the Governor of that State: "Unless you are prepared to shed blood for the preservation of this great Gov­ ernment, the Government is over­ thrown;' That is all there was of that letter. That I said, and I say it again, and I tell tluit Senator if he is pre­ pared to go dofrn in history with the Democratic traitors who theu co-oper­ ated with him. I am prepared to go down on that "bloodletting" letter, and I stand by the record as then made. oi| the Urst bound, after the third strike, and ou foul hit balls, ha* been don# away with, uud now the ball has to be caught before touching the ground.

PRICE S5-CEXTS A BOX. WSTA Western exchange tells its readers how "to inind their P.s" in the following paragraph: Persons who patronise papers should pay promptly, for the pecuniary prospects of the press have a peculiar power in pushing forward public prosperity. If the printer is paid promptly, and his pocket- book kept plethoric by prompt paying patrons, he puts his pen to his paper In peace, his paragraphs are more pointed, he paints his pictures of passing events In more pleasing colors, and the pcrasal of his paper 1s a pleas­ ure to the people. Paste thi6 piece of proverablal philosophy In some place where all»persorts can perceive it. flQT~The electric light is to have a trial in Paris, under the supervision of the municipal authorities For a year, the Avenue I'Opera and the Place de la Bastile, and one of the market build­ ings. are to be lit by the electric light, at a charge not exceeding six cents per hour for eacli burner, while the gas company is to light the Rue du Quatre Septembre, the Place du Chateau 'd Eau, and another market building, in an improved fashion, at an extra charge of not more than one ceut per cubic meter. J&*They were sitting around the ewrentlonai stove, In the village tav­ ern, telling tall stories. The topic was heK^es. After several luferior tales. Olrf llo^jhs began: **My horse was wo«& than the worst of defaulting hank Presidents, for he was such a footer. Why, uctually, his feet struck '•• her so Often thft I. had to carry a ke t of water in the wagon and stop alf-mite and wet his feet to fn ffottte t i jflWJS t hfsj| i-ouM^ Ned Teller broke Tn: ***0h that*s nothing. I once had a horse, and he was $ueh a forger that I could not take him ojt In a sleigh." The old mau bore looked around to see if anyone would ask him the reason ol this, but they looked as glum as pall­ bearers, ao he con tiuued: "No, I would never take him out sleighing, because such a shower of sparks were knocked from his shoes that the ,snow and ice were melted--turned to mud-- befors the sleigh-runners reached the track." IST"According to the Cincinnati En- guirer a iadv was sleeping in a berth on a western railroad with one hand hanging peacefully out over a loop in the curtains, A Cincinnati drummer thought he would have soiuo fun, and seized the hand and shook it cordially, remarking as he did so: "Good by,old boy, good by. can't be with you always you kuotv; give my love to the folks and don't fail to call and see us when you coine to town." Here the factious drummer was knocked clear across the car by a stalwart blow from the disen­ gaged hand of the occupaul ot the berth. After picking himself up aud pulling liis nose around to its proper place, he oflsred to bet a week's salary that the fellow in the berth was a prize lighter. This excited some curi­ osity on that point aud the berth was watched. Susan B. Anthony turned uut of it iu the looming. I®"Pat having beeu sent by his mas­ ter to the postoitice alter the letters, was asked, on his return: "Well Pat, what wa« there for me?" "Two letters aud a paper, sir," replied Pat.

Bob be rt Burdette of the Burl- iiigtou Hawkeye, is an advocate of the barbed-wire priuciple.

Hom<e- pathlc doses of advertising' will not pay. perhaps; St is like halt a portion of physie making the patient sick, but effecting nothing. Admlntftter liberal­ ly, and the cureWill be permanent. Some say they cannot afford to adver­ tise. They mistake; they cannot af­ ford not to advertise. If that was true forty years ago. It Is •till more forcibly true to-day. Busi­ ness has thrown off many of the forms that hampered men engaged In it.-- Retailers no longer tie their trade to one house, nor expect to be personally acquainted with each one of their cus­ tomers. People buy of the party who offer tlie best bargains, be he friend or stranger. Although the young firm of Sharp St Beatem are selling goods very low. It is not known around town, and they have no trade. Slow & Stea dy have a good stock, are well known, and claim to sell as cheap as the cheap­ est, Sharp & Beatem must do some thing to Inform the public that they hive a better stock of goods aud are selling cheaper than Slow & Steady: they must advertise. To-morrow It will be heralded about the city that Sharp A Beaten are sett­ ing goods cheaper than any tlrm In the city. People will wonder if it Is true: they will call "Just to prtce thiugs." buy much or little, and go their way.^- Slow & Steady uotice that a great deal of their old trade is going across the way; what shall they do to rugatnlt? They conclude they must advertise; and In this way advertising Is an abso­ lute iiecesMity. To galn customers we must advertise; wd jjuust advertise to la port# J for new goods by advertising their m«ritfl; we must hold the sale of old goods by keeping their good qualities before the public Every business should be advertised, no m-itter where or what it Is. If a moderate custom was sure among a circle of frlends and acquaintance* in a given locality. It would'still be to the merchant's Interest to advertise and increase his trade. The main expense of doing business will be about so much, be tlie amount transacted great er or less. A large business can be done at a much less percentage ol cost than a small one. A man can better afford to aell one hundred thousand dollars worth of goods at a profit of ten per ceut., than fifty thousaudat fifteen percent. A merchant may expect to hold trade by selling low, but he must have first made It known In tome way that lie is ready to sell low, or he will not get the customer*. Ways of advertising are as numer­ ous as the busy brain of man can in­ vent. Posters on the wall are good, but they are there only a few days, aud then they are covered by another ad­ vertiser. (Signs nailed to trees along the country roada are effectual while they last, hut they soon become old or are rendered of no value by a dozen others being nailed over aud under them. The most unmitigated humbugs in soliciting advertisements are the men who have hotel cards, depot cards, business card*, map*, and similar abom­ inations. Men wtll Invest In these wildcat enterprises who think an ad- vertisment In the daily or weekly newspaper 1* so much money throwu away. A retailer should aifvertlse tn every legitimate way. If by circulars they should contain but * very few lines, and onght to have igfnethiiig about them to attract the reader. But the retailer should Invest ninety-uinc dollars in the columus of his local pa­ pers to every one he expends forcir- cularsd hanbills and eards. His name should be constantly before the pub­ lic. But a small card of half a dosen lines, paid for by the year, and never changed, is of doubtful value.--[Ex­ tract from "On the Road to Riclies."] find. lodgement the cargoes of vessels bound to In this count!* and be set free on ^ their arrival to sow the seeds of death, ] and ruin business all over the! contl- |J nent, Southern members of CongresJIl who put a party dogma before the- 1 lives and material iu^rests of their, s constituents, are being made the recip- I lentsor many Reminders that their; J vote against tlie national quarantine i bill on the plea that It was an Invasion of "State rights" Is not approved bj ^ many of those who experienced some ^ thing of tlie terrors of the reign of !

Since Prof. Gamgee brought his plan of fighting the fever to the notice of the authorities,extensive experiment# *v|th It yard here unrfer the i^overnmen vision, with uniformly satisfactory results, it is said. Of course we keep on making succes­ sors to Mr. Hayes "though the heaven* fall." According to talk heard among those who are credited with consider­ able skill In casting the political horo­ scope. Senator Windom. of Mtnnesojta, is not least among the possible pre­ ferences of the next National Republi­ can Convention to designate that par­ ty's candidate for the Presidential suc­ cession. While the tendency has been strong aud outspoken against a nega­ tive candidate, it is argued that the great mass of the party leader* occu­ pying the mean between the two ex­ tremes, will name the candidate; and perhaps they have uo better exponent than Mr, Windom. And the ingenui­ ty he displayed in *olving(from a Re­ publican standpoint) the Southern problem by proposed emigratiou of the*reeduieii to the great We*t has added to his popularity. Tlie war opened recently against rit­ ualism at the annual mettiug of Epis­ copal ministers In Baltimore, has oc­ casioned quite a flutter in church cir­ cles here; and the feeling seem* to tie that the contest must go on till a de­ cision against It is reached, or a per­ manent separation between the high and low church factions shall diviilt the Anierlcan branch *f that sect |« twain.
