The following very sensible remarks we
find in the Amman Press. Every business
man will readily recognize how per‘gently
the subject is handled:
Et‘er since the era of advertising was in-
augurated, business. men of all classes have
been made the victims of a certain class of.
persistency as provoking as itwould be ad-
mirable in a better cause, have persuaded
them to enter into theirparticnlar schemes.
These schemes are numerous, as many an
advertiser can attest, and when we weigh
them in a calm, impartial manner, we shall
become convinced that they are a sublime
fraud upon the too-lenient advertising pub
lic, and that the advertiser, when he has
submitted to the imposition, has literally
thrown his money away. .
The schemes of these honey-,tongued me-
tal-visaged gentry, who b'esiege the unwary
advertiser on every hand and bore him into
giving them an “ad”—which the advertiser
generally does to get rid of him—are, as we
have heretofore mentioned, exceedingly
numerous. There is the “programme”
scheme, for instance, cunningly interpersed
with stale jokes, g rather “light and enter-
taining reading matter," and handed to the
passer-by on those days when there chances
to be an unusual gathering in the town or
city, only to be glanced‘at for the space of
a second,if-atall, and then carelessly thrown .
array to be trampled under foot. This is
decidedly a waste of money on the part of
the advertiser. '
Then, again, we have the hotel-register
scheme, hotel card-advertising scheme, to-
gether with other schemes too numerous to
mention. Now, what the honest achr-
tisers want, and indeed what every adver-
tiser in the land wants, is the'greatest re-
turn for the amount of money-invested. In
order- to secure this, there is but one reli-
which there is a demand, because of its
.worfh). The American people are pre-emi-
The mornin’ that I come away, we had a nently a reading people, and of all the lit-
little bout; .
~I coolly took my ,hat and left before the
show was out, . .
For what I said was naught whereat she
ought to take offense, '
And she was always quick at. words; and
ready to commence. . .
But then, she's first one to give up, when
she has had her say; ‘
And she will meet me with a kiss, when I
come home today.
My littleboy—I’ll give ’em leave to match
him, if they can.
it’s fun to see him strutiabout, and to be a

The gamest, c‘rist little chap, you’d ever-

And then they laugh, because I think the
child resembles me.
The little rogue-l he goes for me, like rob-
bers for their prey ;
He’ll turn my pockets inside out, when I

My little girl—I can’t contrive how it should

That God could pick that sweet boquct and
fling it down to us ! ‘

And thenI laugh, because she thinks the

The Lydia. Sher-mun Confession.
Further particulars given concerning Mrs.
Sherman’s confession are as follows: She
relates that she was born in New Bruns-
wick, N. J., in 1825, and was early left an
orphan. At 17 she joined a Methodist
church, and at a love feast met Edward S.
Struck. They were quite struck with one
another and subsequently married. He be-
came a policeman at Yorkville, one of the
suburbs of New York city. One night there
was a row on his beat; a detective was
killed, and Struck was off without leave.
He was reprimanded and suspended. Final-
ly he became crazy and was (discharged. _
He became physically helpless and a bur-
den, and a, male friend suggested to Mrs.
Sherman to get rid of him by poison. So
she poisoned him with arsenic mixed in his
food. Next she thought it would be a good
plan-to get rid of her two children and save
them from growing up to meet the cares of
this world, and she poisoned them. She
was not suspected, came to Litchfield, mar-
ried Dennis Hurlburt, and finding him not
just her fancy, poiso‘ncd him. 'N ext it was
suggested .to her that she could, perhaps,
marry a well~to~do man in Derby, Horatio
N. Sherman. Accordingly she became
Sherman’s housekeeper, married him, and
poisoned him. ' She says, however, she did
not mean to poison him, but that be mixed
arsenic in his cider tofllake it foam, think-
ing it w'assaleratus. She purchased the
poison to kill Sherman’s two children, and
to kill rats with. She put the,poison on a
shelf with the salcratus which Sherman
used, and she-finding he was taking the
wrong article, did not tell him his mistake.
She poisoned the two children, and thinks
Sherman died Orpoison. She drank by mis-
take some cider with arsenic in it, and was
very sick after it. That was once when
Sherman asked her to drink with him.
.Mrs. Sherman hasbeen visited by repor-
ters this week, who have conversed with
her, but she does not say anything more on
the subject ofher confessiOn. ' -

the large number of discharges from expira-
tion of term. and the weeding out of poor
material. The return of tho brigadier gene-
ral just received at the adjutaut’general’s

A good story is told- of the recent excel-
lent performance of Handel’s “Messia ” at
the Broadway: Baptist church. A farmer
took his wife to hear the gmd music so
beautifully rendered on that occasion and
after listening with appa'rentjenjoyment the
pair became suddenly interested in one jo'f
the choruses: “We all, like sheep, have
gone astray ."—-First, a sharp soprano voice
exclaimed:
“We all, like sheep.” ‘
Next, a deep bass voice uttered in the
most earnest tones—
“We all,~likc sheep—"
Then all the singers at once asserted:
“ Weall, like sheep—'—"
“Darned if I do !” exclaimed old rusticns
to his partner, “I like beef and bacon, but I
can’t bear sheep meat l"
There was an audible titter in‘that vicin-
ity, but the splendid music attracted atten-
tion from the pair and they quietly slipped
out.

A covetous merchant in Havana, who
had vexed Signor Blitz b many meanness:
es, was humorously puniied by the magi-
cian. The time was chosen at a large and
brilliant party. The Signor tells the story:
The guests were constantly grouping
around me in the hope and expectation

individual Ihave alluded to. Without hesi-
tation I consented and commenced oper-
ations by causing handkerchiefs, rings and
gloves to disappear, and the producing of
an inexhaustible supply of boquets, which
' all looked electrified, especially those of the
merchant, who after endeavoring to account
remarked it was a happy faculty, for Oh-

' “In mine?”
“Yes sir." ‘ '
“ You have made a mistake.”
“0, uo;'I’ll take them out, if you will al-
.low me.” -
“With all my heart, sir."
He turned his body partially round while
my hand entered his pocket, and withdrew
some bananas and oranges, one after anoth-
er, not only to his consternation, but to the
great—'merriment and glee of his acquaint-
ances. '
“Well, you assisted yourself oliberally to-
night,” 1 said. ' .
“No, sir! I never carry things away,” he
indignantly answered. ‘
“But facts speak for themselves,” I re-
torted; “and here is a quantity more of

The treasure-seekers with the romantic
stories are at work, in Peru. It has long
been a tradition that in a sepulchrc, situat-
ed near the summit of a high mountain, a
few miles from Arequipa, thirteen million
dollars in gold was buried, About a year
ago some adventurous foreigners ascended
the mountain with a party of Indian guides
and. laborers. They dug at the place point-
ed out by the Indians, and found .a hand-
some vault of burnt brick. In the vault
lay. the dried-up remains of an old Peruvian
queen. On her wrists were bracelets of sil-

NEW YORK TRIBUNE—187;}.
Now, as heretofore, The Tribune strives to be first
of all and preeminently a news paper.
France a Republic—England and Germany gradu-
ally permeated with Republicun ideas—Spain away-
in:’ in the nerveless grasp of a ruler too good for a
Krng undtoo weak for a Republican, who is unable
to govern the great island that blocksthe entrance
to our Gulf of Mexico, and equally to give it np—the
German-speaking people agitated by a new Protes-
tantism, separating from the Sec of Rome on the dog-
m a of Papal Indefallibilizy and assuming to recog-
nizethe “Old Cathollc’f—the whole Continent per-
vaded by the intellectual ferment that comes of the
conflict between old ideas, philosophical,theological
material and the advances of Physical Science—
Russia and Great Britain running a race for the final
gains that shall determine Asiatic supremacy—China
seeming ready to abandon her advances and reclose
her half-opened gates-Japan abolishing feudalism
and inviting Western civilization to irradiateWestern
commerce to enrich her lon -hidden empire—such
are phases of the news from a road which the mails
over all Continents and the wires under all Seas are
dailvbearinl: to us. With able andtrusted Corres-
pondents in the leading capitals, and wherever great
changes are in pro ress.’ The Tribune aims at what-
ever cost, to lay be ore its readers the most prompt,
complete and popular presentment of these diverse
and conflicting movements,—through all of which,
as it fondly trusts. the toilingmasscs are everywhere
strufighufg up toward larger recognition and a

At home the struggle forFresdom seems over. The
last slave has lou been a citizen; the last opposi-
tion to cmancipat. on, enfranchisemcnt, equal civil
rights, has been formally abandoned. No party,
North or South,longer disputes the, result of the
War for the Union- all declare that these results
must never be undone; an With a whole people
thus united on the grand pla form ofAll Rights for
All, whereto our bloody strug lo, and the prolong-
ed eivil contests that followe’ , have led us, the Re-
public closes the records of the bitter. hateful Past,
and turns peacefully, hopefully to the less alarming
because less Vital problemsoi the Future. To who}.
ever may elucidate the general discussion or .actlon
on these, The Tribune gives amplest space and most
impartial record. Whatever parties may propose.
whatever political leaders may say, whatever offi-
cers may do, is fairly set down in its columns,
whether this news helps or hinders its own views.

THE DOVES.
BY MARY cnnmn ms.
Underneath the homestead window
Flock the doves!
Tremulous crested, opal-breasted,
Household dove;
Just as when a little maiden
Fed and called them once her loves.
Underneath the homestead window
,Low they grieve;
Looking, nodding, with a timid,
Make-believe .
Of a welcome to the wanderer,
Calling in thcpnrple eve.
All the dawing time has vanished
O, my doves !
Since I called you in this window
“Little loves ;”
Since I fed you in my child-love,
Still and shy as you, my doves,
Like the doch unto my window
Flocking home,
All the memories of my life-time
Thronging come,
Once more brooding in my bosom,
Here is the household home.
' ‘Far against the dim horizon
Sec they soar; .
Hills of home, far mountains crowning,
Far-olf-shorc l '
Distant as'my native hilltops
Seems the young life gone before.
’Tis the old», oft~murmered story,
Lost or dead!
Doubly dead are many living,
Further fled ;
I at high HOOn stand a stranger,
With the homestead overhead.
Flock the doves beneath my window
Just the same,
Tremhlous-crestdd , opal-breasted ,
Shy and tame;
Who is she who calls and fegds them,
With far sight and soul of flame ?
Back unto the city’s rattle
Slow-I go,
’Tis the bivouac, not the battle,
I would know;
Peace of God and peace of Nature
Feed me in their overflow.
Thro’ the great world’s brazen splendor-
I shall see, ,
Near and clear, this twilight picture,
Dear to me;
I shall stand in all the tumult
Solitary, still, and free.
I shall know unto this window
Still you come; _
I shall see you, hous‘cllold dovelings,
Flocking home i -
I will leave the loud world for you,
How so far my feet may roam.
Flock the doves unto Thy window _
Lord of love!
Call us, feed us, fold us safely,
Lest we rove.
Ct‘owdinghome, Thy wandering children,
Hungry, seek the hand above.

other minor personages. These characters
are all introduced‘on board the New York

“Yes, but dearest Sarah—" Is it one of the
famous vineyards? Does your vintage sell

“In France the first question a woman asks
