THE TIMK TO ADVERTISE-The dull season, SB it is called, IB the beet time for remunerative advertising. When people have most leisure, they read most. At the watering places and nu? merous Hummer resorts, where tourists are congregated, the merchant who takes advantage of his opportunity will not fail to send his circular; or, if ho de? pends upon newspapers mainly, he will not pass by the quiet dullness of summer without keeping bis business constantly before tho people who have deserted the towu for more cougeuiul life in the open CJuntry. It pars to advertise judicious? ly-it pays to advertise, if the truth ?B told. It don't pay to stop advertising. All you have spent is wasted, if by your neglect to keep the public acquainted with the advantages you can offer, they discover tho usual enterprise wanting at any time for auy reason in the manage? ment of your business. "What's the matter with A, B, C it Co., thoy dou't advertise auy more. Guess they otu played out," said a friend of ours, not long since. Well, sure enough, wheti we had our atteution called to the fact, it did appear so to us, and it was uot long before we read amoug the items of the doy, "We regret to uuuouuce tho tem? porary suspension of the well-known Urtu of A, B, C & Co. Liabilities and assets not yoi ascertained," etc. "By a throat latch" wius the race. Keep a little ahead; don't yul tired, for it is just here the applause is uguinst you, and once the popular current sets in adverse? ly, you may "throw up tho sponge," for you are no longer counted among the probable winners of the race! Intelli? gent, persistent effort; truthful advertis? ing in season und out of season, fair dealing, small profits, once price strictly adhered to, and the terms C. O. D. to all, will surely result in success to a retail establishment.-Baldwin's Monthly. All the lands in Texas, unless they have beeu purchased by individuals from the State, or were owned by thom prior to the independence of the repub? lic iu 1888, are the property of the State, and have beeu held as thu heritage of the people. As these Unds, which include some of the best cotton lund in the world, were held for actual settlers, to whom they were sold ou very moderate terms, they were attracting an immense emigration to Texas, and formed, in fact, thu foundation of its wealth. Real or fraudulent Mexican grants have always been plentiful iu Texas, us iu California, and the assemblage of depredators form? ing the late Legislature passed au Act conferring tipoti the thirty-five District Courts of the State, and ou any ono of them, final jurisdiction for claims of land under thu Mexican grants. As these courts are in thu hands of men an disreputable and unscrupulous as the Legislature itself, thc present probability is that the public lauds will be divided up among the scalawags and carpet-baggers iu tracts from 100,OOO to 1,000,000 acres each, and it is well known that this law was passed in order to give these courts powers to allow fictitious claims. Tins, observes the Philadelphia Ane, is the work of the frieuds of General Graut, the men upheld iu all their acts by the power of bia administration. They are to be allowed to rob the State as a re? ward for political services in bis behalf. An ad ni u ist ration which depends ripon such men as head the Radical party in Texas, is unworthy to receive the sup? port of the honest oitizena of thc nation. THICKS IN AI.IJ TRADES BUT OURS-A case of enterprise on the part of a Lou? don newspaper reporter has recently I come to light, which reflects moro credit upon the industry and ingenuity of its originator than on his honesty. Our readers may possibly remember reading accounts of a discovtry made in London in 1857 of a carpet-bag containing hu? man remains, which disoovery caused great excitement and furnished material for numerous articles uuder the title of "Tho Waterloo Bridge Mystery." All the detectives of London were at work on the case, and ull were thoroughly bullied. Lately the matter bas been brought into notice again by a British soldier stationed in India, avowing him? self to be tbe person who threw the sack with its oontents into the river; but as bis story was found to disagree with the statements published in the newspapers at the time of the discovery, it was con? jectured tbut the soldier bad lied about the affair in the hope of being sent borne to England. The revival of the subject, however, bas bad tbe effect of bringing out a letter from an old sub-editor, who writes to the Birmingham Gazette that the whole affair was the result of a s?beme concocted by an impecunious penny-a-liner in order to supply mate? rial for an exciting newspaper article. The human remains contained in the sack were procured by tho reporter from a dissecting room, and the Back was let down from Waterloo Bridge by a confe? derate, who was disguised as a woman. The trick succeeded, the originator of tbe scheme was first on tho ground with the news, and all London was sat agog by the rumors which gained currency in regard to the "horrible mystery," which has never been explained uutil now. A census taker in California reports that be recently found Pasqnal Cruz, aged ninety-five; Raphael Davealu-, aged 106, and Iguacio,Salazar, aged 111. The first two live iu Tucson, and the last named on the Gila. Ho is a hale and hearty man, who never woro shoes but once; that wus on the occaeiou of his marriage, when be borrowed n pair from a friend, and put them on at the oburch door. After the ceremony, aud when leaving the church, be took them off. SDERNNO BESIDE A CORPSE.-Abra? ham W. Ballard, of Michigan, was killed by lightning, a few nights siuce, while in bed asleep. His wife, who was sleep? ing w.th him, knew nothing of the oc? currence until she awoke quite late in the morning and found him dead. A SAMPLE OF TUE SPREAD OF LIBERAL ISM AMONO TUE NEW HAMFSUIBB RE? PUBLICANS.-In Roc ki n g bum Couuty, there aro already changes enough to wipe out the Radical majority in the State hint Maroh. We have returns from towns in this Couuty that show conclu? sively that more thau 500 who voted for Qoveruor Struw luRt March will vote for Greeley and Brown. In Newmarket, there aro over twenty five, in Lee, over thirty, in South Newmarket, tho num? ber is fixed ut about sixty, in North Hampton, Hampton und Hampton Fulls, there are over seventy-five who have openly declared for Greeley and Brown. Other towns show a proportionately lurge number of recruits for the Liberal parties. From Stafford and Belknap Counties, wo have equally encouraging reports. Mr. Daniel Marcy has just visited Bumstead and other towns in that vicinity, uud reports that almost every mun he met told him of several well kuown Republicans who have de? clared for Greeley and Brown. He says that in Bumstead there is a reasonable prospect that the vote of the town will be unanimously for Greelev and Brown. ( Portsmouth ( N' H. ) Times. ??There is a horrid thing in Nashville. It is a white "something," which glides through a certaiu ravine near the city from ? P. M.' to early morning. It hue been repeutedly chimed, both by boys and policemen, but manages to elude capture-how wo are uot told. The ne groes ure greatly excited by its appear? ance. They declare it to he the ghost of a colored womuu who was burned tc death lust fall. A negress living neal the ravine says that two headless persons come to her house repeatedly and dance a demoniac waltz, which results in over turning all her furniture. Two coloree women who went by the haunted spo about midnight saw the ghost, and wen so terrified that they run half a mile One of them ie not expected to survivi the fright. -.

The large mortality, aa usual, was among the chi dren, more than half the total io bot cities including children under fi' years of age. A liquor firm at Patterson, N. J., we surprised the other day by the suddi disappearance of a revenue stamp from barrel of whiskey soon after it was t fixed. The stamp oould not bo dap cuted, and consternation prevailed, win it was remembered that a Germnu hi been Hitting cu the barrel. Ho w hunted up, and the missing stamp d covered under bis coat-tail. It was i moved with difficulty, and soon grac thu whiskey barrel instead of the Gi man. The new watering place sensations the North are the "Phantom Hopi which have snperseded masquerade bul The difficulty and expense in obtainii . i itumes led to tho change, which h become a very popular one.

THE FIUB-WATEB FOR THE CHOCTAW The corresponding editor of the Ge gia Cultivator, writiug from the Ch taw nation, has the following: "T hell-distilled poison, the 'fire-water' the Indian, the curse of the white m is not allowed to be sold or drank iu nation.

Bbc found him, mademoiselle married him, and all is joy, peace, silver and fine linen. A TERHIELB FALL.-While three men were at work on a scaffold in front of the ?new building No. 70 Third avenue, N.

Tho names of the unfortu? nate men aro Thomas Wall, of Jersey Gtty; Michael Malone, of 344 First even tie; and William Hanley, of New York. They were attended by the police sur? geon, who states that Wall and Malone aro fatally injured and Hanley seriously. Mrs. Cooper, of Now York, was very severely burned a year ago, about the breast and neck, and new skin would not form. The doctors then performed a very delicate operation, consisting of grafting upon the patient small pieces of flesh from other patients. Eighty-nine pieces of the size of a three cents piece were thus applied, of which eighty ad? hered, and the woman has just been discharged, porfectly cured. This is considered a most remarkable cube. DEATH OF DR. JOHN H. HENRY.-The death of this valued and highly respect? ed citizen took place in this village on last Wednesday morning. Though the death of Dr. Henry was by no means un? expected-having been in delicate health for a number of years, and dangerously siok for the past five or six weeks-yet the announcement of his death canaed that natural gloom and sadness produced by the loss of any good oitizen and long resident.-Laurensville Herald. John Morrissey is as respectable as tbe man Chamberlain, who is also a gambler, and who is the personal associate of Gen. Grant. Gen.
