- :' ¥ : : : Hational Banner. Circulation of the Press, 2 The-Newark (Ohio) Advocate takes the right view of the matter when it asserts that the best way of carrying on a political campaign successfully, yes, the only -way, is by the circulation of the press.— Its remarks are so pertinent that we guotethem below. It says:’ o I “As a matter of coufs’e, documents are very desirable, but the man or committee “that expects to carry an election'by means of specches and pamphlcts ‘distributed during a campaign, is pairfully deceived We repeat our remark, that these will do very well as dncidents of a campaign, but the great work of changing voters from one party to-another neither by stump speeches on the eve of an election, nor by thousands of pamphlets put .afloat after the mind of the peopleis well made up. Harlier work is needed. Changes of mind are accomplished radually. What the Democratic party o§ Odio needs and requires,. is an immediate increase of the circulation ot Democratic néwspapers in every county in the State. The winter and early spring months are the- season for accomplishing this, These are the periods in which. the voters of the State have by far the ‘greatest amount of time: for reading. Impressions made duringthis' time—line upon line and precept upon precept—are not likely to be oblitcrated, ‘and prepare the way for the ‘strong “meat’ served in the heat of the campaign,” : ;

It is becßuse our opponents have been more energetic and vigorous in this particular that they/ mainly owé their tri-. Umphs in the past. The sooner this truth is realized and acted upon by our Demo“cratic friends the better. : . . ——etl $ e ) . Home. ‘i -

A home! is‘a bright, bléssed, a lovable phantom, which sitteth highest on the sunny horizon that girdeth life! Wheh shall it*be reached ? When shal] it cease to be'n glittering day dream, and become fuily and fairly ours? It is not the*house that may have its charms ; nor the fields, carefully tilled and streaked with your own foot paths; nor the trees, though their shadow be to you like that of “a great rock in a weary land ;" nor is it yet the fireside, with its cosy comfort ; nor the pictures which tell 6f loved ones ; but more, far more than all ‘these, it is the ‘presence! The altar of your confidence ig there ; and adorning it all, and sending: our blood in a passionate flow, is the ecstacy of the conviction that, there at least you are beloved, that there your errors will meet with gentlest forgiveness; that there your troubles will be smiled away ; that there you may unburden your soul, fearless of harsh, unsympathizing ears; and that there you may be entirely and joytully—yoursélf. © .- The Chesapeake (fybter Beds. "The area of the oyster beds of the Chesapeake and its tributaries is computed to embrace 3,000 acres. These beds yield to commerce about 25,000,000 of bushels an: nually, and it is stated that a sufficient quantity besides is taken to form the chicf provendér of 20,000 persons., We learn from a review of the oyster trade of Baltimore for the last year; dhat the capital cil*x|l§lo3'é(l in that city in carrying on the canning alone of the oyster isslo,ooo,ooo. About 8,000,000 bushels of oysters are consumed by the packers, one-fourth of which are packed raw in cans and shipped to various. points, packed in ice, while fhe remainder are steamed slightly and sealed hermetrically in cans of one, two and three pounds each. The: mnflufa_qtllre[dt packing cases, tin cans, the/printing of labels, &e., constitutes in itself an immense reve. nue and gives employment to thousands. of persons, . ‘ . -

; Failures in 1870. : > A statement in regard to the failures, in 1870, favorable to the general prosper--Ity of the country during the last year, as compared with the two pregeding yéars, has been published. They are said to number but one thousand five hundred, with a loss of $50,000,000, while 1869 had two thousand eight Rundred, involving $75,000,000 loss, and 1868 had two thousand six hundred, costing $63,000,000.— An exchange remarks that the last few weeks have seen more disasters than this statement would indicate, but a good part of them can be credited to the annual settlement, at the year's end-and are not enough, probably, to greatly change the statement, which may be taken as substantial evidence jthat businese generally is getting down to a solid basis.

The Revenue Department is not altogether satisfied that it will pay to consolidate the districts, according to the contemplated plan. It works very well in large cities where the territory:is not extensive and operations are not scattered. When districts are large and there are many points to guard, it is questionable if tho government does not lose more in col I&ting than the reduction in salaries would arhountto. . i .- :

The Radicals under O. P. M. are inaugyrating a éysteni of reconstruction for e Southeriy States, preparatory. to the Presidential campaign of 1872. They find it ‘necessary to stifle tle voice and votes of thd.South in order to have a show for their radical hides as against the white people of this country. -Their rascality will not save them from merited defeat in 1872.

Li ability of Informers of the Press. " In a case before Judge Cox, a few days, ago, it ‘wag decided that where persons give local reporters items for publication, which prove to be untrue and libelous,: the informer is liable. The libel appear- , ed in the Cincinnati Volksblatt, concerning Daniel Jacobs, of whom it was pub- "+ lished that he had committed suicide, ut of remorse for being once a bushwhacker, The defendant, George Frederick Wams- - gung, gave the informdtion to Capt. Lagowski,[the local reporter, and the testimoy at theitrial disclosed the fz;f’t that the parties lived next door to each other, on anything but friendly terms, and that Jacobs did not ¢commit suicide, and never was a bushwhacker, but was a respected, ~ “honest man, and good citizen. = The jury, under the charge of Judge Cox, found: for ‘the plainfiff, in damages, on the ground that the testimony showed :that the information was maliciously given, for the - purpose of having- it published, to bring " the plaintiffinto public ridicule, contempt and disgrace. We are glad that this decision has been rendered, as it “will make those persons careful who desire to make the nemp}g)eu & conduit of their spite . by giving false news to the local reportets. - Gen. Powell, who appeared for vhe plainiff, brought his action against the informer and not against the newspaper, and 1l ed in establishing the first precedent g the kind that we have ever heard - of.—Cincinnati Enquirer, == .

.} A Fitting Tribute. We ?rreé gratified to notice that a concurrent resolution has passed both branches of the General Assembly, authorizing ‘Governor Baker to have a suitable monument erected 'over the: grave of Governor Willard, ata cost not to exceed one thou sand dollars. " For years the dilapidated and neglected condition of Goy, Willard’s grave has béen a standing reproach to the people of Indiana. We rejoice that appropriate honors are at last to be paid the iilustrious dead. The name and administration of Goverbhor Willard should be remembered with pride by every good citizen of Indiana, for lie was one of the ablest and purest of our,many distinguished pub-. lie men.— Vincennes:Sun.

- MARy pergons say that they have tried almost every remedy that has been repommended for humorg, and they are no better now than when they commenced. them, and they have no ‘confidence in anything that is advertised to cure Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, and all- similar humors. We would say to these. that there is now a remedy that as yet has mever failed jof curing those diseases. It acts upon an entirely different principle fromanything ever offered for them ; it throws humor out of the blood through the skin, when the system can be entirely freed from them. If'you will try it, you will not say of this ‘as you have by the others, for it will cure you. We refer to Dr. Weavér's Salt Rheum Syrup. s oy For sale by all Druggists. feb. Im.

£ A TR G It is the duty of those interested in building up cities and towne to patronize and supprot-their local newspapers, first. In almost every county in ‘the country there isth newspaper published, andit is the duty of the farmers, mechanics, merchants, and property-tolders there to support the paper, if it be live! - Attention will be called to théir town. People will be attracted there. The paper arnd its place of - publication become known.— When we see a live néwspaper we at once think it is printed in a live town, by a live man, for live men .do not long remain in dead places. If we see a sickly-looking, half-edited, and badly-printed paper, we at once conclude that it is published. by some ragged, lazy, shiftless, half'starved individual who corresponds exactly, in this, respect, with the community surrounding him.— Aubugn Gourier. Some of our subscribers think we are rather strict in enforcing advance payments from all. If we were rich, perhaps we could afford to- lend our money, in small sums to our friends, but as we arenot, we shall have to make the rule general, and ‘apply it to each and every one. If 'we begin to make exceptions, we know by past experience what will be the result; hence we hope, no one ‘will ask us to do so.—Eßlkhart Review. =~ . - .

~ ANorner Svicipe.—We are called upon to chronicle the death by suicide of still another person in this city, the circumstances of which,. as near '95 we can learn, are ag follows: Last Monday, about 11 o’clock,s'a man knoWn‘lgy the name of Ja‘cob * Sellmann, of German decent, and aged about 35 years, was found dead in his room at the Merrill House. . The coroner was notified, and an inquest’ was held if the afternoon. Investigations show that Sunday night before retiring he ‘went to a drugstore and procured an ounce pliial of laudanum, and, as there was but a small portion in th%phiul when fonnd, it is supposed he had taken near tho, entire contents. The deceased was a tailor, andj in company with his wife, camo to this city some two, months since, for tlie purpose of getling employmentiat his trade. . During their stay at the Merrill Tlouse the couple did not seem to live agreeable, and being unsuccessful in get; ting work, they remained only for a fow days 'in the city. He, however, returned after a few week’s absence, but this time without his wife.. He seemed to be very much depress;‘ed in epirit, and remarked tp\-t’hefi'clerk at the hotel that on his former visit to this city he was a married man, but now he was single. Subsequent investigations proved that his wife had been granted a divorce, and was living somewhere in Michigan. He stated: to an employee at the hotel that he was ‘“hard up,” and asked for the loan of a sum of money. Therequest was granted, after which he said that, not being able to get work at hig trade, he was going to turn his hand at ' something else. His intention was fo sell a recipe for cleaning clothes, and accordingly hehad a quantity, printed. He spent several days trying to sell his recipe. Itit wasthought he had met with poor success, as he seemed quite depressed. We are informed that Sellmann was “occasionly much intoxicated, and while in that condition, he had frequently expressed himself as being tired of life.— Laporte 4drgus. * " |

Tue death of F. 8. Bedell, editor of theCrown Point Register, has been chronicled - for the second time within the past eighteen months, and yet he lives, moves, and has a being. Somewhat embarrassed ab geeing his obituary in an Indianapolis paper recently, he gives vent to his feelings in the following manner: # This is the second time we have been dead and buried within the past eighteen ‘months. Starr, of the Goshen T%mes, announced our death last year; but who it was that reported us dead last week we do not know. And now comes- a telegram,to W. W. Cheshire, agent for the Pheenix Life Insurance Co., asking the particulars of our death-——when we died, of what disease, &c., &c.. This is rich!. But it is likewise a little oppressive. - Gentleman, we still live, and are about as lively a ‘corpse as can be found in Northern Indiana. When we conclude to ‘‘peg out,” you shall all be duly notified. | : s et P BipLe 1N Pusric ScHooLS.— Superin.tendent of Public Instruction, B. C.

e A Swring of Beads, : . STRUNG BY C. HANCE. : Now, if ‘any one supposes that ke is going to hear a thrilling story under the above title, similar to “The Diamond Necklace,” or “The Hidden Bracelet,” or any ~other jewel of - a story, he will, by reading what is hereafter written, find himself much mistaken. The string is not even g#ilk; only a common thread, woven from the experiences of every day. The beads are neither gold nor silver, some of them, perhaps, of glass so transparent and frail that they would crumble to' atoms at the touch of the hard, critical ha_nef‘of analysis; but a few, I believe, are of such stuff s will bear a good deal of handling,— Such as they are, made from materials picked up here and there, melted in the crucible of my brain, and there moulded and crystalized into their presént form, I drop thém upon the string. ' NATURE seems unsympathetic because she changes not with the various moods of wan. In his sorrows he cannot turn' to her: for relief ; her brightress only mocks him, and her gloom but makes his sadness sadder. In his joy, she seems not to Tejoice, and when he smiles she weeps. Bul after all she is a friend, stern perhaps, but one who performs for him the truest and most needed service. b aneoae

- When a great sorrow falls upon, you, threatening to crush out’ your. life, vyzou, instinctively, turn, expecting to 'see the skies suddenly darkened, the fl'oyviers droop and cease to bloom, and the birds hush their songs. But all goes on as: before : the skies are bright, flowers bloom, and birds sing—all but you are gay. “What then !” you cry, ‘‘am I of no congequence, is my BOITOW nothing that everything does ‘not ghare.it?”” .By no means; but there are others;in the world besides yourself ; they are gay while you are sad, and their mood is of a 8 much consequence as yours. The beautiful, strong hand of Nature is for the support of all her children ; ;and her heart throbs with a universal love. Listen to what she says; her teaching is wise ‘and kind: . “My child, I feel for thee, I know thy sorrow; thy heart is bleeding, and every crimson drop that falls upon my breast is. counted, and shall be treasured there,- to ‘glow again upon the leaves and flowers of summer when your winter shall have passed away. But I have other children, and while some are glad and some are gay, I must remain the same.” Aft: last this unchangeableness, this apparent. indifference of everything to. your condition, begins to have itg influence. Yousay to yourself, “The world is not yet annihilated ; the stars have not fallen; nothing else mourns, why should L? Flowers bloom and birds sing, why should not 1?”*" And, after awhile you do sing, and ‘‘go on your‘! way rejoicing.” This is what our beffefi- ‘ cent mother, Nature, does for us. | S~ow is like the moonlight ; it softens and béautifies everything' it touches.— Rounds all corners, curves all angles, and gives grace to the homeliest objects. Like all good angels,-it comes gently and noiselessly upon us, sb‘th;it we Know not that it in here until its work is done ; like mercy, it falls alike upon the foul and fair, and, like éharity, covers all ugly stains, and protects the delicate and frai} with its pure, spotless mantle of white, " )

Txfimm ig'progress; and as?t'}mg waits for 10 man, so progress waits for no man. It islike a great wheel ever turning and overturning false systems, false doctrines, and false people. He who, ignorantly, tries fo stop ifs evolutions is but caught in its gigantic teeth and mangled in the process, while it turns on still. S

~ Said an advocate of a fossilized system of religion, one day, It is & lamentable fact that in science is found one of the greatest obsfacles to the spread of religion.” . Did it ever occur to that person .or to any of his numerous sect that, religion is one of the greatest obstacles to the spread of sciénce ? . That is, religion as it is taught in.many of the churches from many of the pulpits. Virtually the teaching is this: ¢Hearken, O, man, unto the words of my mouth, for they are true!— Although you are so unfortunaté as to be | endowed with common sense, you have no | need, imvin’g this blessed book, as interpreted by me and a fow others, to guide you, to exercise it. Although ybur Creator, very ugnecessaril& it may seem to you, but doubiless for some wise purpose, bestowed upon you the gift of reason, still you must not listen to its.dictates; it will | be sure to lead you astray. Reason and. common gense have nothing to do with roligion; you must have faith. What if science has demonstrated this, %tha_t, or the other to be a fact? That fact-is contrary to the teachings of the Bible, and the Bible cannot lie.”” With this supposed settler, which is & very forcible reminder of the man who, after stating his favorite theory, said: “That’s the true theory, and if the facts fail to sustain it, why so much the worse for the facts” —every aspiration towards a higher knowledge, every faintly dawning ray of intellectual and moral free-dom-is “nipped in the bud.’”” And the poor, ignorant people—ignorant in a religious sense only—taught to swallow the doctrines of “foreordination, free grace, free agency,” and halfa dozen other theological paradoxes, at one gulp, go stumbling along in confused dread and wonder and doubt, ready to say like the poor ‘weaver in Dickeng’ story of ‘Hard Times,” ‘“Why then, it’s a muddle, just a muddle, and the sooner we'er dead and out of it the better.”” Itis a startling fact that the redemption of mankind from the bondage of old religious and social forms and thieories is constantly retarded by the foolish oppositions to the free and enlightened principle 'that inves‘tigations in every branch of science are daily establishing. Are we. afraid to put’ forth our hands and pluck the apples .of knowledge, “lest we become as gods ?”’

It has gone into several families, and with remarkable effect in every instance. ! One woman has been restored from what her physician pronounced consumption, after several months’ sickness with cough, great pain in the lungs, and prostration, so that she is able now to' do -hoysework and assist in supporting her family, and with care and continued use of tke Balsam, she expects entire restoration. i LR A _Another person, & young woman to whom" I ‘gave pne bottle, has received great benefit, so that ber ¢ough, which was of months”standing, is getting! better, and she has purchased the second bottle, and'bgs every indication of a speedy cure. : A young man who was raising blood, and quite weak and sick; has, by the use of two bottles, been much improved, and is able to do a little at his work. . A young man to whoin I recommended a trial of it, wfio has had a bad cough, and much pain in his lungs for months past, and unable to get rest or sleep, has commenced taking it, and is now using the fourth bottle with great benefit.

Its Capital Stock is $200,000, of which $lOO,OOO is deposited with the Treasurer of the State of Illinois, and the condition of this Company is such that it can do business in any State in the Union.” - .- L S FAQTS IMPORT fiT O WESTERN MEN. Accoi-ding to the sworn‘ statement of fifty-five Life Insurance Compaenies, doing business inthe State of New York, ag shown by Insurance Commissioner’s Report for the year 1869, the costof Insurance by the loss of death was about £ix dollars per thousand on ten thousand dollars insurance! Ifall those Companies had heen upon the co-operative plan adopted by this Company, seventy-four dollars on each ten thousand dollars would have been the average cost of insurance and would have given a fair remunerative business to the companies.” The losses for the year 1869 have been agout the average for the past fifteen years.. This includes all the old companies in the State of New York. ST d The report of the Auditor of the State of Ohio, shows that the foreign Life Insurance Companies doing business in the State for the year 1869, received $3,708,701 in premiums. And the amount of losses ‘raid .by said Companies was $679,569.86, mai(ing a loss of over £3,000,000 to _the insuréd in said State for the year 1869, ! : ‘ It.-will be seen by the Auditor’s report of the State of Illinois, that there was §3,927,124.25 in premiums paid to Life Insurance Companies doing business in this State for the year of 1869 ; and the whole amount of losses paid in said State was $751,229.84! ' Showing the receipts were ‘nearly six times the amount paid for losses. We also find that only $177,440.94 was paid to home life companies, leaving $3,649,6883.82 paid for foreign life companies. If the same insurance had been taken by home life companies, we would have retained at home for userin the West, $2;936,668.26, wiich is the amount received by foreign life companies in the State of Illinois over and above what they paid for losses in the year 1869, and which isabout equal to one-fifth of the hole banking capitag lof the State of Illinois. This will explain why money is Bor 4 per cent. -in the East, and hard to get in the West for 10 per cent. ‘ger annum. And had all the life insur | dnce companies in the State of Illinois for the year 1869, been on the co-operative é)lan adopted by this Company, over $2,700,000.00 would have been saved to the insured in the State of Illinois that year, wgich amount'is a dead loss to our citizens, and never comes back except 1n loans to our people at high rates of interest with a heavy commissidn for negotiating the same. It is ‘a noted fact that but about one person in every tweu%y who have taken policies in the old mutual companies continue their policies to the end. ] ; i
