Advertising;. An t xchange antiv remarks: "The newspaper is, in every sense, the best medium for advi rtisins;; and, for a given result, it is by far the cheapest, also. It reaches a far greater number of possible c-lii.trs iliaii iiy private announce ment can; and it is more certain lo re ceive attention. The private circular is thrown aside as a thuir which people Lave c'iii.e 'o regard as a bore, and which is neglected oecause its recipients have n i time to attend to it. The news paper is used in each day's hour of leis ure, and readers find interest in read ing lie advertisement as well as its news, because of the variety they pitsc-i.l and the iufnrmatioa they convev respecting a wide diversity of interests. It may be safely estimated that an an nouncement made through the press is noticed bv fifty readers, where, made in a private way, it would reach but one If, therefore, the same amount were expend ed in either case, the result would be fiftv-foid better from the former method man from the latter. There are, un doubtedly, cases in v.hich the circular is a better medium than the newspaper; but such cases are quite exceptional, and the sooner advertisers learn the foil v of their present larie expenditures in seek ing publicity throueb private means the lietter for their pockets and their suc cess " A Mnrpriainj Derllne. When Captain Cameron and his crew went down to start the ferry Spencer out on her first trip this morning, the boat was fount! to be almost aground The river had declined a foot during the rjiirht, and considerable difficulty was ex pciHTced in getting the boat out into the stream. The Mississippi is closed at Le- ('iaire and lanre cakes of floating ice h.l the channel at this point. The fact that the blockade has been formed above is encouraging to a continuation of open navigation, as the ice which is seen here comes off the rapids, and it would take niu' h colder weather than the present t fieeze the river over here.

It u mora or a Kauk MunpenriiiiiE Davenport Maid to have Orig inated in Kook lwlaitd. .Many wild and exciting rumors were afloat here, and in Davenport yesterday. concerning the aliedged embarrassment and suspension of the well known Ger man Savings bank at Davenport. Excite ment became intense as the rumors spread, and much anxiety was expressed by tnose having deposits, in the institu tion, and business men generally. The reports were to the effect that for two weeks back there had been an unusual run on the bank, and that some of the heaviest depositors had wiihdrawn their funds, and placed them elsewhere. Others, it was stated, Lad di manded their money and the bank had been unable to meet them. On the day before Thanks giving $600 had been taken out by de positors on this side of the river alone. The Davenport daily Dcr Democrat. the German paper printed at Davenport, and the proprietor of which is president of the hank in question cont dried an ex tended article on the matter yes terday morning in which it was stated that the rumors were with out the least foundation, and had their origin in the banks of Rock Island, the officers of which had used this method of preventing Rock Isiaud people from de positing their money iu the vaults of Davenport banks. Last evening President Lischer, of the German savings bank was interviewed. and be stated that, while the rumors had occasioned a little uneasiness among de positors and the withdrawing of some of the deposits, claimed that the bank had never been in a more prosperous condi lion than now, and was ready in meet any demands that might come upon it, no matter how urgent Tne German savings bank at Daven port has always been regarded as one of the soundest in the slate of Iowa. lis directors are all successful business men, and careful financiers, and while these unfounded rumors will naturally prove in a measuie detrimental to the hank, they will in no way cause it to shake. From the fact that the banks of Rock Island pay no interest on deposits, and the Dav enport banks pay a rate of four and five per cent, it is not surprising that a great deal of the money of this city finds its way into the safekeeping of the banking houses across the river where a tain is realized by so doing.

To the absolute f".v -:' a government bond, is added a profit far in excess of r-iie of interest which can be obtained on any safe loan. In Kansas and Xeb raska especially land.- are raising in value very rapidly and with a sleady growth which gives assurance of stability. The good season and the great tide ot immi gration into these states has made invest ment there doubly safe and desirable. The climate of outturn Nebraska and of Kansas, free as it is from the long rigourous cold winter, added to a soil uusurpassed for richness and productive capacity, has made po-ible the wonderful development of these states To the far mer they hold out special inducements. Cheap land, easy term of purchase, good markets and varied products enable him to own bis farm at a smailercost and with less labor than is required to pay rent for the land he occupies here, or the interest on tbe money he has invested in it.

The ball of the Iron Moulders Union at Wagner's opera house last night, was as usual a grand affair and successful every way. The dance seemed to be highly en joyed, and the music by the Light Guard band, superb. The moulders know just to melt a crowd into one solid mass, and how then run it into pleasure. A rabbit's foot is of use at times. Had it not been that John Wixon was conscious nothing could hurt him. he would have made more fuss when the mouse got into the leg of bis pants and traveled up into the region between his vest and back Thursday evening. John just took out ihe foot, kissed it, and was as calm as an evening in June during during the operation of relieving him of that mouse. The age.hy the books, allotted to a cat. is from twelve to fifteen years. This is perhaps more lhau the average, yet Mr Daniel Gordon, the surveyor had a cat which lived much longer. Ee brought it from Alabama in 18bl and has kept it since, until it died a few days ago, at the age of 26 years. Until within two years it was able to forage for itself, since then it has been carefully attended to and fed on chopped meat and milk. Its death is much regretted by Mr. Gordon and fams tly. Every person who so desired had ample opportunity to partake of the good things provided for I banksgiviug, yesterday at tiie saloons of the city. Each seemed to vie with the other in setting a table covered with the luxuries and delicacies of the season trom roast pig to the ever pnseni goonier, ana the way some guests showed thejr approval of the spread was proof tlierMiked it. though. the liar keeper looked on with wondering eyes and anxiously waited for the order for the beer or something, which in somt cases never called.

Mrs. William Patterson had a fair au dience at Ibe opera house last evening. Chris. Schlegel. of the Chima, introduced the speaker, who began by contrasting j the homes of the poor with those of the ! j rich on this legal day of Thanksgiving, i Her subject was the "Human Rce.'! i!er subject was the "Human R ,ce. I "hich she traced from away back when people slept on the branches of trees to protect themselves from beasts of prey, down to tbe present time. It will not be possible to give more than an outline of the lecture which was of over an hour ana a naif duration, and listened to with the c1' st attention tbtoughout, and .ds s ' i I be curtailed as m'ich as possi ble. From the primitive ntan she traced the race through all the of ages, showing now ii progresso antl u molded; first the family, then the tilbe, the city, and the nation. During Ihe tribal state wars ilgiuited and oppression began. Though great warriors were the first tys rents, the biggest cowards on eartb today were the rich men. w ho sat with a sword like Darnodcs torever over their headB field by less than a single hair. This great i ovemeni of labor was as much for ihe benefit of the rich as the poor, for it would free the miliionairs of that fearful dread of vengeance, and rid the earth of a race of monsters, and slaves. She ridiculed the death bed repentance of conscious strickeu mortals, who, when they saw the yawning grave al their feet, thought they coul.l avoid the hell they deserved, by donating in the name of sweet charity, to mm,- church the dollars wrung from Ihe striving poor. The labor movement was designated the second coining of Christ, aud an equal distribu tion of wealth the grand act of the Savior. Her argument was that labor giv ing machinery being the creation of labor, the laborer should have the benefit of it, and that four houis should be a day's work now because enough can be made o -u.ipiy the world in that lime daily. Undi r tepublicau rule 2,400,000 nien had been luoiig.it to thiscountiy liku cattle at the i ,ie of $15 a head to work for $6 a wet-a p. place- vacated by strikers for their tights mid that this party expected to be able to hoodwink Ihe K. of L., iu ihe fu'ure and gain Heir votes; $5 50 was paid yearly by every man, woman and chtld in the United Stales to the v.nnptresof the top round through legis lation or this party, and they bad also given a-y our two hundred million acres ol land lo monopolies -nd foreign syndic ites. She illustrated by the career of the (Kior -marl boy, James G. Blaine, and told how this dishonest legislation, by crooked acts aud the betrayal of trust reposed in him, had come out afler twen ty years servitude in the people's cause 1 300.000 richer than if he had during all that time saved every peuny of bis jalary. Her cure tor all this suffering and crime was to form the whole world into a co-operative society ; every one bi s come a slock holder, and the people do as I hey should do. once more own the earth, and then war between labor aud ca ital would cease, forever. This lime Ma- coming might not be near al hand for all great ideas must take time i - ro ,: and grow in the public mind, dpo .lists need uot protest.
