Mr. was one of the most bashful men in the profes sion and wis constantly getting into scrapes through his nervous mis takes. At one time he rose in his pulpit to give out the hymn, "This world is all a fleeting show," and clearing his throat he struck a high pitch of voice and began solemnly. "This world is all a floating shoe." Everybody smiled except the deacons, and the minister was covered with confusion as he began again : "This world is all a shouting flow" This only made matters worse,and the unhappy man cleared his throat with tremendous force and began once again: "This world is ail a floating she." Then he slasnmcd the hymn-cook down, and wiping his clammy bnv. said: "Brethern, for some reason I can not read that hymn as it should be read ; we will omit ;t and the choir will please sing the grand old lines beginning: " I ust as I am w ithout one flew.

For the benefit ot our readers we give below an illustration of Radicalism as represented in the county since the returns began to arrive. Radical Kreeuback Corpse. The above is a sad picture to be hold, and rfeeds no comment. Peter W ilsou, Esq, That's, my name and the above is my picture. I practice law when I can get anything to do. Most ot my time is consumed in loafing. I emigrated from Indiana about a vear aero for reasons best known to myself. I have no pedigree worth speaking of. I have always been a hawling Republican with the excep tion of the first three or four months after I came to Bates county. When I arrived in Butler, carpet-bag in hand, my pocket-book was depleted, and my reputation, jf known, was against me. Being sadly in need something to subsist upon I went about the court house atter crumbs from the official table. Upon mis representing myself a. a Democrat I was successful in this enterprise. My conscience having been seared over by former conduct I felt no compunctions at this little trick. In the ligbt ot recent events, I am ser iously thinking of resigning the posi tion I got under a Democratic ad ministration, by falsehood and perjury- The part I played in the late county campaign makes the gig up with me in this community, and with carpet-bag again in hand I re sume mv -journey to more inviting fields. Yours in the faitW, Peter Wir.sox. so, Brown to Cowles "I tcAl you "Its a Butler trick, and no- mis take about it. About Advertising. j A Boston journal has this to say upon the subject of newspapers ad- j vestismgr j In the large cities, as well as near- ! ly all portions of the country, thedis- position of business men to increase the number and lengtn of thiir ad- vertisements, and to deversify the j character of their announcements. has kept pace with the rapid resto- j ration of prosperity during the past j few years. i Une ot the new tendencies is to adopt to a greater extent than was formerly common, a conveisational style similar to that wnich an adroit salesman would use in indeavoring to attract the attention ot the visit ing customer. The disposition is also increasing to make specific statements, such as the exact price cf articles offered for sale, which is frequently con ttasted with the prices that formerly prevailed. Many other expedients are em ployed, and it is evident that supe rior tact applied to this subject, well enforced by liberal expenditures, forms an essentia! part ot the re sources of the enterprising and suc cessful business men ot this pro gressive period. Everybody can turn advertising to his advantage in one way or another by due consideration, but it is pai ticularly importaat that the proprie tors of establishments which cater to the wants of the multitude should constantly be up and doing in the matter of securing a large share ot public attention. Printer's ink ju diciously applied, is the modern philosopher's stone. While it will not turn dross into gold it is con stantly converting dormant mer chandise,, talants and capacities cf all kinds into rich sources, ot profit. A Cool Inventory of Mrs. Langtry's Points. Joe Howard in Philadelphia Times. 1 presume you will expect me to tell vou something about Mrs. Lang try, the beautiful English actress, who is neither beautita-1 nor an ac tress. Ot course, wlwen a man says a woman is not beautsfcul be judges from his own standpoaut of beauty, and his judgment a to her histrionic ability should be based! also on per sonal observation. I have not seen Mrs. Langtry act,. so 1 content my self with taking the opinion of Mr. Abbey, her enterpsisrng manager, and that o other critical Americans who have seen her on the other side. All of them agree tlaaCit the lady ha J been compelled to depend solely up on her dramatic taknt for her suc cess, it would have been many years before she could have attained a plane of even passable recognition. I don't know any coate-toporaneous woman to whom I can liken her. She produces the impression of being tell without being very tall ; she has very nice- hair, which she wears fceeominglv ; a beautiful fore head, indicative of great intelligence ; shapely eye-brws mild but satis factory eyes, And features the en semM of which is attractive, but according to my ideas, of beauty she is neither pretty nor handsome. She has a distinguished bearing, walks-well, gesticulates fairly, looks you square in the eye and produces the impression of a well-meaning woman. There is not a sign of fast lite about her, nor on the other hand is she dowdyish or especially do mestic in her manner. She appears to be simply an agreeable lady of the world, not young nor old, neith a girl nor exactly a matron. CD O 3 O C CO 0 CD CO r-r- CD & a n o CD 7?
