Even professional people testify their great appreciation, and resort to the mast ingenious methods of getting their advertising done free of charge. Singers, actors and other caterers of - note never think themselves kept sufficiently before the publico, if one may infer from the fact that when travelling from one'plaoe to another somethingis sure tobefall them; either there ie a railway accident, or they are robbed of their jewels or other valuables ; while when at home, some- thing occurs to keep the public alive to the fact of their existence. But all these, to be useful, must be published in the 'papers. At a recent operatic performance. in 'New York, it was given out that somebody shad sent -a letter to the prima donna threatening to take her life. She was accordingly escorted on and off the stage by a aonple of armed men; the whole was generally supposed to be an advertising ruse, and one paper refused to publish it except as an adver- tisement. Doctors, as a rule, consider it infra dig. to advertise in the newspapers, but it is often amusing to watch their efforts to get ap -account of some obsti- nate case, whigh they have successfully treated, mentioned in some way in the public prints. It is stated that in a certain city in ?ranco a shrewd druggist conceived the idea of benefitting by this peculiarity on the part of the medical men. lie started a newspaper, which contained nothing but . a record of births, marria,ges and deaths. The mortuary notices ran usually thus : Mr. Blank Blank died at his residence this morning of such and such a disease, &c., &a. - Hie as attended at his last moments by odor ." In each case the name of the attending physi- cian was giv such ..a laud that they cal to purchase t PI], and this occasioned ►r among the profession led a meeting and agreed e offensive publication, which they accordingly did- .and sup- pressed it. We have in our mind's eye a mann- facturer whose products were favored with a priize, honorable mention or the like, at an exhibition some timesince, and who ie one of thous who "never advertise." The press by sorrle inad- vertence took ' no notice of his exhibit. He immediately notified his newspapers to be stopped., and on meeting one of the proprietors, expressed ' himself in of good set terns concerning the neglect to mention hie prize. "But, Mr. , you never ad'ertise ; you told me your goods do not (require it." "Oh, I well," eplied.the men of springs,"I meant that I do not adpertise in the advertising columns, but I thought you would have given me a notice, for the benefit of your readers, "you know." The manu- facturer does not take the paper yet,but manages to read it at the house of a subscriber, whom he visits at least once a week. A clothing house in Chicago, not satisfied with doing well and dis- tancing most of his competitors by his legitimately persistent advertising and system of aping business, determined receutly to oetdo himself. He accord- ingly published that on a certain day he would cause to be thrown from the roof of his warehouse into the street below several dozen overcoats. Fearing that, the city authorities wonld object, the, proprietor of the place sent out a feeler in the shape, of a request that he be given a detail of police for the occasion, expressing his willingness to pay for their services. The chief said the de-, tail would be sent without charge, as he desired to keep the street free of any. blockade, anhl the advertiser announced - in the papers that the "gift enterprise" had received the sanction of the city authorities, en the strength of this. As early as half past 1 o'clock the crowd began to gather, and by 2 o'clock the sidewalks were impassable. The police were .powerless to clear them, and pedestrians were obliged either to walk around the through a Smelling 4an Iickpockets, t was foanc blockade, a T n it • 11 e a p s w difficulty was settled.

By 4 o'clock the mob Els dispersed, after having effectually b ticked the street for two hours, to the d sgust of hundreds of citizens, and all cause a retail clothier wanted a little c eap advertising. This, it may be re arked,isa long way in advance of the eading Lines"for drawing a crowd,but t n e latter system has been found @if- feetiveenough lately in Montreal. It has been used as an argument in f 'vor of advertising, that if the makers o many of the patent cure-alls in the .rket can make their fortunes by the 1 irge sales 'of such merchandise acquir- e by persistent advertising, bow much e sier it were to thrive by thoroughly cvertising a legitimate and worthy tticle of trade. "Even Le bon Dieu," s ys a witty Frenchman, "requires to e advertised ; else what is the mean - <g • of church bells ?" It is well known more than one commercial traveller Montreal and Toronto, that a late }rosperons dry goods merchant owed riot a few of his good customers to the advertising he received during his oon- tbst' with the authorities of a fashion- able church concerning his rights as a Member of the same. There can be no doubt that advertising pays, more or less. him who does it judiciously ; it is competition which is always alive and etive, and which no business man can ifford to neglect in some form or ' mother. The moat persistent adver- `isers in trade are usually the most sne- 'easful. And we do not require to go to New York, Boston or Chicago for con• lrmation of this truth ; Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton and other cities in ballade., furnish abundant examples. • Immense Bargains.

Macdonald from Canada, get Mr. Davenport to furnish him with a set of papers of 1868, and intrust him with the leadership of their party ? When about nine years ago Sir John w s hurled from power by the damning and she had been assisted by her land- di closures connected with the sale of lady and the neighbers, but tetsearch of her room revealed no lae of iota th Pacific Railroad charter, mad it was be ieved by the staunch:est Conservatives clothe% and in her trunk WRIA found 460 in cash, a gold watch, and a quantity of —Application was made on 1s1ehalf of T. Eva Woods, confined in the eetworth county gaol awaiting trial at he assizes, for shooting ber seducer, at erseyville, for her release on bail. Mr. bowlby, her counsel, submitted the certificate of a physician, Dr. Pitcher, to the effect that Day was out of danger from the gunshot. wound which he had received at the hands of the•prisoner. Judge Sinclair, however, refused to accept bail. -He would not, he said, in such an important and serious case •• as this, admit to bail, on the unsupported testi- mony of a single physician, a prisoner who might possibly have to appear on a charge of murder. in —The few:seal of the late John Wray, of Linwood, one of the victims of a railway collision in Minnesota on the 15th ult. proceeded from Millbank sta- tion to the family plot in* the Hawks- ville Cemetery, on Tuesday of last week, and was accompanied by a large num- ber of his relatives and neighbors. The accideut whereby Mr. Wray lost his life was the result of the conductor of the train on which he was travelling falling asleep and not moving his train forward at the station where they had halted, another train following ran into it teles - scoping or rather dashing to pieces the caboose in which Mr. Wray and others were travelling. —We learn from the Galt Reporter that Mr. Archibald Cutlibertson deliver- ed his lecture on “Health, and its rela- tion to Meciicines and Stimulants," in the village of Ayr, where it was very favorably received. The mover of thanks, Red*. Mr. Inglis; stated that in his opinion the lecture was one of the ablest he had ever heard, and he regret- ted that more of theAyr people were not present to enjoy it. The unwillingness to do honor to a prophet in his own country he illustrated by the following anecdote ; It was remarked to a Scotch - man once that a certain individual was very clever. "Bim clever 1 Why gaed to Bohai() wi' him," was the re- ponse. —On Thursday morning the 7th inst., one of the three brothers named Mc- Quillan, who live on the 10th conces- sion of Beverly, near Clyde, started to walk through the fierce storm to Galt for the purpose of securing a supply of whisky. Not returning as soon as ex- pected, his two brothers started. out to meet him, which they did near the Credit Valley railway crossing. The three then started for home together, and after struggling for some time that the party was doomed to exclusion tioln or at least a decade, Sir John pre- pared a huge number of the Official Gezette in which he announced the appointnient to office of every son, ne hew, cousin or brother-in-law Of ry prominent Tory in the country, and then resigned, calmly confident that if the incoming Liberals disturbed hiS appointees he could denounce them effectively for departing from the tradi- tions of the British civil service and in- troducing the abominations of the m nes were respected. This enabled him to attack the new adnaietration for Ai increased ex.penditure on salaries, Enid to point with pride to the much smaller staff of offidials which in his time had been found limply sufficient to diecharge the duties of the different de- partments. The Canadian Tories were t en, as our Republicans are now, woe.- ri d with a tariff question. With that seblime fertility of resource which in lets gifted men is but too often stigma- titeed. as impudence, Sir John evolved a taiiff for the protection of everybody— ptoducers, manufacturers and consum- ers all alike—under which the miner get 50 per cent. more for his iron ore from the manufacturer, the manufac- ttirer charged the farmer 50 per cent. more for the stoves and ploughshares which he made from it, and the farmer charged the miner and manufe.cturer 50 per cent. more for the wheat and m6At which he sold to them. Upon this platform Sir John took his stand, and to his own surprise—for he was too intelligent not to see what a humbug he Was—he was victorious. It is sad to have to add that, Mr. Mackenzie upon his retirement,having made a snug little place for one of his friends in the Gov- ernment, Sir John bounced the ap- pointee with much celerity, upon. the ground that such an appoiutment was contrary to the traditions of the British civil service, and tended to- introduce into Canada the accursed. spoils system of our hopelessly corrupt republic. Al- togethet Sir John A. Macdonald is perhaps the only man in the world, now that Lord Beaconsfield is dead, who can save the Republican party.
