A TALE OF TWO CITIES. Soma Distinguished Lawyers of New Orleans In the Olden Time. Kcmiui cenees of Myra Clarke Gaines, -I lie Little Lady" of the Famous Suit. In riving here and thro a leaf of ray Contemplated rapinnir of tJhe Two Cities," it is rather diflicult tor my read-era to ktN ji up tlie connections, but with the hope of pleasing them, an well as tli prs I have to five them a little variety, ami wl.ile it is not very interesting, the cry c.Dus fro.n inituy quarter, Ijive us more." Be tiiat tu it way, having h-ft Louisville for awhile, 1 now torn with pleasure to my old home in New Orletna, wb-ro I will tako in review many of iiitenjtjt. First of all will be the nch and Bar." In tpeaUing of them, it is very em-Tarri--'i and the wonder is that it haj not done by some one more comfM'teat than inyt-lf, und, for this reason, I will ronline myself to some incite ate and sketcbe of us widen came under my observation.

Who wer? all Uiee men who did honor to the State, the bur and tlie bonch? They were Judge Martin, Euttis, Mo-Caleb, Bu. hi nan, C.rletn, Morphy, Rosr-lua, M-aeran, SouIp, Ciryiix, Conrada, OJen, UaoijtbcU. 1're-tou, Slidells, lltot, Peyton, rrontiss, Mouriiin, llwmutiee, Peyton, Maybin, lie-men, Duureil, Wild, and a hnm of otlieri I can not now call to uuiui. Wlxri are all of these prominent men pow Al'ua! all left Ui, and they theaiselve luvo to appe-ir IxJore a hijj'utr tillriiruU to be judtfrd by the Grvat of tlM) world for own actions Trhile lere, and in tivir judRins of others. Well may we say Lord.

Caav M-h This is the situation with us in regard to our "Annual OiOP UJOW pie's Benefit gale'; begun last Monday. We started into 1 sell eleven hundred and thirty-five Suits at FORTY-EIGHT CENTS ON THE DOLLAR and six hundred and ninety-three Suits at NEARLY as low figures.

Of the first lot we sold over seven hundred; of the second lot over two hundred, leaving, out of the eighteen hundred and twenty-eight begun with, not quite nine hundred Suits. These we have for THIS WEEK, as long as they last, on the same terms as before. It will be remembered by those who read our advertisements last week that the Suits for which we ask 48 cents on the dollar are all NEW GOODS not yet twenty days out from the factory. It's true they were made for last Spring's trade and left over on the manufacturer's hands at the end of the season. But they are all GOOD STYLES and HONEST GOODS, and SOUND as a DOLLAR and FRESH and CLEAN.

they are really Just as suitable for FALL wear as for Spring. Now we bought them at an average price of exactly 42 per cent, of their lowest cash prices in season, and we can, therefore, get out even on them at 48 cents on the dollar of the ordinary retail prices. And so we DO it. For the people's BENEFIT and our own GLORY. They SAVE the dollars NOW; we MAKE the dollars in the FUTURE out of the ADVERTISEMENT this kind of a thing gives us and the NEW TRADE it brines.

The OTHER SUITS in this sale are our REGULAR STOCK Spring and Summer Suits, which we are willing to SACRIFICE rather than CARRY OVER. They go at but little advance over the 48 per cent. Suits. Now this is perfectly Elain, straight, BUSINESS talk, and we want every-ody to take it just that way. WE'VE GOT THE YOU will HAVE to have them in a month or two.

at farthest. You can use THESTl othes RIGHT NOW. When vou can buv a S20 Suit for $9.60 and an 88 Suit for 83.84, aren't you a "chump" if you don't do it? Don't be a "chump" about your CLOTHES It's too expensive THE LIFE OF TRADE. (Jndge.) Abraham" 11a 1 Vats dot? I Levy tlnk I make dot a herrainent slag. He can't got around dot." Advertising is a erase now, like every other good thing in the line of progress get to be at a certain stage of development.

One trouble is that advertisers will go off half cooked." The pyroteo-nio and explosive idea seems to be the popular one, and It leads veople to shoot oil in many ways and very wide of tho mark. If yr have money to spend for advertising It is but coraaaoa business prudence for you to consider very carefully where, when," and how." Tho leading newspaper of your city or town is the where as often as your appro, priatioa will allow la the when," and system, truthfulness and novelty are tho principal essentials of tho how." The merchant who says selling good goods is the best advertising" la hut half right. That's the best way to sustain your advertising after tho advertising is started and has begun to bear fruits. To illustrate you open a clothing store. Before you can sell a man the bee suit In town for flCT yon mast get him Into your store.

How do yoa get him there By telling him that you have the best suit," and In such a way aa to induce him to come and see about it. The quality of the suit doesn't bring him to your store it's the telling" that does the work. If yoa don't tell him of your good" suit some other merchant will tell him of some other suit-either good or badand you and your suit will get left. But, the better tbe suit" the more telling" you can aft ford to do: and when gtood gooda and good advertising are eombineo, sue cess is certain. Advertise for the women: when yea eetch all of them and there's sure way to catch 'em you've got all the men and will eventually get all the money.

Every man has a week point: so has every buainoaa. Find out she weak point in the business of yonr competitor and make it your strong point in advertising but be very careful not to advertise your competitor by letting the publio know you are fighting him. The value of newspaper advertising is afferted very materially by the character tnd influence of the journals employed. Experienced and successful general advertisers are fully aware of the importance of this point, and are willing to pay a better prioo for high quality than for mere quantity of circulation. Don't look upon advertising ms an unnecessary expense, to be indulged in only as one ef the luxuries of business.

Some advertisers seem to have conception of the matter. When business is brink In tbe season, they can jff ord to give" the newqpapers some advertising. When dull times ersue business doesn't Justify the expenne." if this theory be oorreet, all advertising Is a dead failure and money spent ft It a any time Is thrown away. But the bunlDc-s world is full of sueeeasfnl ao pie who are continuously disproving this thetry by practicing the opposite one: and three are the advertisers who are sepreeented in the newspapers of the country at all seasona, SNAP.)
