What Advertising Did.
Millaud, the banker and newspaper speculator, who died recently in Paris, and who founded the Petite Journal, which atone time had a daily circulation of nearly half a million copies, was an enthusiastic believer in the advantages of liberal advertising. Onedfcy he had at his table nearly all the proprietors of the leading Paris dailies. They conversed about advertising. Millaud asserted that the most worthless articles could be sold in vast quantities, if liberally advertised. Emil e'e Girardin, of La Fresse, who was present, took issue with him on the subject. "What will you bet," exclaimed Millaud, "that I can sell in one week one hundred thousand francs worth of the most common cabbage seed uuder the pretext that it will produce mammoth cabbage heads? All I have to do is to advertise it at once in a whole page insertion in the daily papers of this city." Girardin replied that he would give him a page in liis paper for nothing if he should win the wager. The other newspaper publishers agreed to do the same thing. At the expiration of the week they inquired of Millaud how the.cabbage seed had flourished. He showed them that he had sold nearly twice as much as he had promised, while orders were still pouring in but he said the joke must stop there, and no further orders wpuld be filled,
Indianapolis Evening Journal, Dec. 29. CLAYS OF SOUTHERN INDIANA.
Their Use and Ynlue—Fire, Porcelain, Potter's, l.-rick Clays and Paints in Variety aud Abundance in Indiana.
The word clay strikes the ordinary reader as something common, existing almost everywhere, aud of little use outside of making brick or daubing a log house, while to those who think for a moment, it will appear that no article, excepting wood, and may be iron, is more used by civilized man.
Long before metals were used or instruments invented for working wood, clay was brought into use. Even by the most primitive nations, and farther back in the"ages than history takes record, before stones were used for building or monuments, the clay was taken from the ground. By its placticity v.'hen moist, and hardness when dry, it presented itself to the human race as a material durable, easily worked witnout tools, and capable of being formed into strong buildings for shelter, or utensils in which to cook or preserve food. In fact, the earliest records of art and literature come down to us in the vet preserved dry clay or burned bricks and tiles of Babylon—the ancient cities of the Bible, and the probably as ancient cities of Mexico and Central America, China and Japan.
In the days of the highest civilization of the Greeks and Romans the know ledge and use of clay in the arts reached a perfection which' stands along with their [minting and sculpture.
Tho wonderful perfection which one sees when wanderingninough Pompeii or Rome in the terra-cotta, or baked clay ornaments which decorate the buildings, and of which are formed foun tains, vases aiul statues, shows what noble uses this ciay can serve: and although the modern ages have lost'the art in many respects, and glass has taken the place to some extent of articles iu clay, yet within the last fifty years science and art have combined to bring the working and utility of clay to its whilom perfection. Interesting as an historical sketch might be, we must abandon it to speak of some of the modern uses of clay in brief—among the most import ant that of bricks, which range from the most hoarse and poorly burned to the pressed, white, colored, enameled and highly ornamented of every tint, which are now used to produce some of the most beautiful architectural effects, both inside and out, in many of the finest buildings in Europe. Next we have flooring tile—not much used in America except for halls, doorways and churches —these range like brick, from common to highly tinted, and artistic in design. Roofing tile, which takes the place of slate or shingle in Europe, and better than any other covering, is almost unknown here but is capable of being cheaply made and in every shape and color. Then when we look at the whole range of common pottery—pots from the cheapest through the whole range of crocks, jugs, bottles, vases, etc.—common white and yellow crockery, jars, pots, etc., ii» the Porcelain or so called iron-stone Chinaware, through all the grades of true China, from the heavy gaudy plates of Northern Asia to the transparent and artistically designed and painted cups and saucers, of paper thinness and delicacy from Sevres and Japan. When we remember these are all composed with clays of one kind or another, and then remember the vast quantities of clays, callejJ fire-clays, which must be used in theshape of bricks for lining all furnaces and where high heat is used, and in all retorts for smelting and in the immense pots for glass smelting, for the lining of all grates and many stoves, one may form some idea of the importance of this article.
Until within a few years almost all earthen, stone and Chinawares were imported from Europe, and even now by far the larger portion are. Even the best fire-bricks, crucibles and clays for lining furnaces and making glass pots are imported from England and Germany.
In view of the rapid increase of our population—and our wealth of minerals —the demand for all these articles has increased with wonderful rapidity, and many potteries have been started and we have now some fine American ware. But it is particularly in this line of fine clays that we have been lacking. The beds of clay of this kind, free from iron and lime, are few and of great value, because to manufacture or smelt any of our minerals, or make glass, it is great desideratum after the metal itself.
While most of the geological and speculative force of our State has been measuring the coal fields, and computing the amount of iron in our mines, two or three private individuals have spent some years iu examining the clays of Indiana, and report that no State in the Union can boast of beds of such variety and value as ours.
In England the best fire clays are found under the coal the best beds in the States occur both under and above, varying chemically in almost every bed. In the counties of Owen, Greene, Daviess, Orange, Martin and Brown, there are beds of. clay, white as white lead, grey, yellow, dark, bright red and blue. In the whiter burning clay we find abundant material forour buildings and manufactories,when material is needed indestructible by fire, as well as for all manner of terra-cotta decorations, which can never be destroyed by fire, flood or frost. Also,(fine clay for making porcelain and China ware, as exteiisive beds of flints and white sands, materials requisite for such ware, are also abundant. Besides these, we have an abundance of the best potter's clay for every kind of work, which does not contract or crack in drying.
The various colored clays, of which we have thousands of acres, produce the finest mineral paints in the world, and are so free from foreign matters as to be easily worked.
There is an abundance of brick clay all over the State, but there are a few extensive beds so pure that they could be worked by a machine without the ordinary pugging. One of these beds is not far. from Indianapolis.
Of the potteries of Indiana we can glean few statistics. So little has manufacturing in this important line been encouraged in this State that little interest is manifested but the increased demand for all grades of articles in clay, from bricks and drain tile to practical, and artistic articles of household use and decoration, are causing a move in the right direction and before ten years, if capital aud enterprise are used, we may expect to furnish all parts of the ..United States with terra cotta, ornamental architectural decorations, stone and china ware, fire brick and clay tiles for roofing and paving, and all other articles made from this material.

From Harper's Bazar.
'i New Year's Iteception Dresses. Full dress is now generally adopted by ladies when receiving Nevr Year's calls. Thif is not'the ballr-room full dress of gossamer fabrics, with low corsage and mere atoms of sleeves, but the more stately toilet of dinners and receptions such as silks and satins, made with half long antique sleeves, and the pointed surplice necks that cover the shoulders and slope low in front and back alike. Among the prettiest dresses prepared for the "glad New Year," is one of pale rose silk. The skirt is a slight train,/ ytfth the edge cut in petal points the overdress is a Marguerite polonaise with pointed surplice
neck, and bosom drapery of white tulle folds aud point lace: the polonaise is very bouffant, aud is draped behind by roses and leafy sprays instead of the usual bows. Diamonds, powdered hair, and a pink ostrich, tip worn toward the left of the/ head, complete the toilet. A dress also/mado with a polonaise is of light blue silk draped by tea roses and buds. The dress of a stylish matron is of mignonette green faille with ruffled flounces, narrow in front, but extended almost to the waist behind the upper ski ft. is in the new shape, with long apron front and short back, like a postilion. Fringe and ruffles trim this skirt and the corsage. Quite young girls wear simple and inexpensive silks of a pale solid color, with Watteau bows of black velvet hanging from the back of the neck, while bows without ends arc on the bosom, elbows, and sides of the upper skirt. Tulle necklaces, studded with flowers and lockets or cross pendents, are tied behind, with ends hanging narrow black velvet necklaces have also long ends, young girls sometimes contrivihg to put eight yards of velvei in loops and streamers of a single necklace:
A feather tip of ostrich or an aigrette of the white heron is the most fashionable head dress. These are mounted almost on top of the head few drooping ornaments, either of feathers, flower sprays, or curls, are worn. Sometimes two or'three roses are arranged to surmount the chignon of puffs, twists and .braids, forming a heading for a comb, The natural contour of the head is now plaiuly shown, as very little false hair is worn.
From the New York World,
A TRAVELING- SIDEWALK.
Novel Method of Relieving Crowded Streets—Rapid Transit on a Moving Sidewalk—A Patented Process for Riding on Foot.
The imperative demand in large cities for some means of traveling quickly from point to point calls forth some novel designs for securing rapid transit. The most curious that has yet .been projected is a plan, already patented, for a moving sidewalk, which shall be in perpetual motion, carrying pedestrians at the rate of ten miles an hour, a speed which they can increase by their whole power of independent motion.
The particulars of the plan are briefly these: It is proposed to have a series of pillars along the outer verge of the curbstones, rising to the height of the second story of ordinary buildings. Space between the tops of these pillars and the buildings adjacent is to be a sidewalk, one-half of which is movable and the other half stationary. It is to be reached at every corner by a stairway. On the inner or stationary walk pedestrians can pass back and forth at their leisure, entering the stores and offices, which might then occupy the second story of the building, and be entered immediately from the street. The other half of the walk, made of a sort of lattice-work, and moving on small trucks which are beneath the surface and altogether con* cealed from view, is propelled at the rate of ten miles an hour by engines beneath the surface of the ground at such intervals as may be necessary to secure the requisite power. The sidewalk is moved by friction rollers, worked upon by shafts which pass up through the upright pillars, and on one side of the street passes up, and on the other side down, continually night and day. On this moving roadway, pedestrians may stand or occupy the numerous chairs or settees thereon provided, and be travelling toward their destination at the rate of ten miles an hour, or, if so inclined can walk at full speed in the same direction, thereby adding four or five miles an hour to their rate of progress.
The most ingenious part of the whole contrivance is the device for getting on and off this moving pathway. The pedestrian mounts to the stationary walk,' and then if he were to step from this to the jmoving one he would of course be suddenly floored. To prevent such^ a catastrophe there is a series of seats ingeniously contrived to move partly on the movable and partly on the stationary walk. These are stopped by applying a brake, which releases them from the moving platform and allows them to run on their own trucks on the stationary one, where they are readily stopped. The passenger takes his seat, the conductor takes his fare, the brake is reversed, and immediately the seat moves on, and the traveller can leave it without the risk of breaking his neck.
All this is very curious and novel, but how about its practicability? We are told that several competent engineers have examined into the plan and pronounced it entirely feasible and far less expensive than any that has been broached before for carrying citizens rapidly up and down town, or back and forth between distant points. The machinery will work with very little noise, and that wiU be continuous and therefore scarcely noticeable there will be no danger of accident, and the contrivance can be put up in any street, long or short, where it may be required. It is said that an attempt is to be made very soon to demonstrate the feasibility of this scheme, probably on Chambers street, from Pavouta Ferry to Broadway.
