The Feniaa Enterprise.
Those who originated the Fenian movement
are likely to have a great deal to answer for.
The Irish people on the other side of t'ie
water who ara suspected of being concerned
in the conspiracy have already come to grief,
and there is no reasonable probability that
their confederates on this side will be able to
render them timely, much less effectual,
relief. There never was a mora truly
visionary scheme in all Its aspect?, or one
that was more bungllngly conducted. Whether
the Fenians In Ireland have acted with any
more discretion than their friendi here, we
are not altogether able to say. But it tbey
have not, then the failure of their plot, even
before it was fully ripe for execution, must be
charged to their own folly.
Iistead of the ordinary secrecy with which
such conspiracies are commonly matured, the
Fenians in the United States have apparently
taken special pains to advertise the British
Government, for more than a year past, of
their designs, and have thereby precipitated
upon Ireland a state of affato tbat is likely
Dot only to cause many of ber people a larea
amount of suffering, but to utterly frustrate
the contemplated co-operation of Irishmen la
this quarter of the world in their efforts to
achieve Irian, independence. O'Mahont,
and Roberts, and Sweeney, and all who
follow tbeir lead, have been acting with an
ostentation that Is positively insane, and
which we are surprised hai not Ions: ago dis
gusted the common sense and torfeitod the
confidence ol all intelligent sympathizers with
Fenianism in these States.
The leaders of the enterprise here have not
only published in the newspapers the fact of
their organization, their purposes, and their
proceedings from day to day, but they have so
acted otherwise as almost to compromise the
integrity of this Government ia it ; neutral
relations, and make it necessary for the De
partment of State to disclaim to the British
Ministry any complicity In the schemes of
those who have been publicly organizing a
hostile invasion of Ireland from these shores.
Such madness, however, is entirely in keeping
with the infatuation of tho?e who are en
gaged in the crazy project, and we speak of
it low with a sincere Borrow ior thousands of
generons and heroic men and women in this
land who are bciag deluded with hopes and
aspirations which must inevitably end la worse
than disappointment.
The idea that Irish independence can ever
be accomplished by Irishmen alone, with Ire
land divided against htrselt, wouldjbe ridicu
lous, were it not so ead. All former attempts
have failed, though conceived under better
auspices, and prosecuted with much more wis
dom than this last effort, which is even now
practically defeated. Previous movements of
this kind have cost untold sums of treasure,
coined, literally, from the sweat of thousands
of honest poor people ; and there has been no
return but in the suffering and blood of the
victims of a noble but misguided patriotism.
How long, it may be asked, is such waste of
means and life to go on? It was publicly
stated, only a few days since, that a million
of men were ready to embark from American
ports to join in the Fenian struggle for Irish
lreedom ; and it was more than intimated that
they would go upon their desperate mission
under cover of thl Government, to the extent
of their recognition by it as belligerents Bat
while we believe that Buch a hope is delusive,
let us ask all sensible Irsh men in this country
whether it is possible that the Fenian cause
can ultimately prosper with the passive sym
pathy only of the American people? Cer
tainly not. And yet that is all that they can
reasonably ask or expect.
The enterprise, moreover, must coBt more
than a million of dollars. If carried forward
to the bitter end, several millions of dollars
will be required. Would it not, then, be
' wiser to spend tbat money In bringing all the
population now in Ireland, who are discon
tented with their condition there, to the
s United States, and settling them on the vast
tracta of fertile and yet unoccupied territory
which need industry to dev elope their rich
resources, and where every laborer can enjoy
civil liberty in the midst of peace and plenty?
Surely there is much more sound policy in
such a courso than in the worse than romantic
'di earns of Fenianism. We know how hard it
is for a people to give up their native land,
and disrupt forever the ties and memories
THE. DAILY EVENING . TEIJSGlUlTLPmLADELPHIA, TUESDAY, -
that apsoclate tbem with it. But the Ameri
can colonists did that rather than endure
civil and religious oppression; and
the result of their truly noble resolution nas
been the creation of a nationality which, in
power and prosperity and contiruous growth,
excel. any empire In modern or even ancient
h'story. Let Ireland, then, translate herself
to these shores, where she can realize all that
she has so long and passionately wished and
hoped for in her own green isle, where, sooner
or later, she must Inevitably perish by the ex
haustion of vain attempts to achieve what
America so freely and hospitably offers her.
This grand confederation of democratic
States is large and geneious enough to take
in all the oppressed people of the Old World,
and the home of a f cman here, is better than
the prave of a martyr to impossible, liberty la
another hemisphere.
Tho Democratic Nomination.
Tiik proceedings of the State Convention of
tho Democratic party, held at Harrisburg
yesterday, will be found elsewhere. After a
spirited contest, Hon. ITiesteb Cltmeb, of
Berks county, received the nomination for
Gubernatorial honors at the hands of his party
leaders, his most prominent opaonent being
General G. W. Cass, of Pittsbura. Mr.
Clymkb is the pet of Lis party, and Justly bo,
lie Is a thorough Pennsylvanian a Democrat
so deeply instilled ai to have remained faithful
among the faithless in our recent party-racking
troubles ; and yet no word of dishonorable
reproach has ever been breathed against him.
IIiesteb Cltmeb is an able man, a
shrewd politician, and a safe and cautious
partisan leader. We do not say he is the best
man of his politics in the State, but we think
he Is one of the very few who cau concentrate
the entire voto of the Democratic paiiy in the
coming contest. In this matter he will have
the eminent aid of bis friend and former col
league in the State Senate, Hon. William
A. Wallace, Chairman of the Ceatral Com
mittee, through whose indefatigable efljrU
Mr. Cltmeb' nomination was secured.
liii 8TEH Cltmeb has considerable execu
tive ability. LTis experience in the State
Senate will entitle him to appreciate aod grasp
every interest of our great Commonwealth,
and wield the charge with propriety. I'
elected be will make an excellent Democrats
Governor.
Death ol Dr. Jayoe.
On Saturday last we aunounced the serious
illness of Dr. Davis Jatnb, and .the fears
entertained that his malady would prove
fatal. Our worst anticipations were realized
Last evening about six o'clock be breathed
bis last, having been confined to his bed for
bat a few days. His diiease was typhoid
pneumoaia of the most malignant typt, in
duced by a serious cold contracted on Wednes
day last. Dr. Jayne was born in Monroe
county, Pennsylvania, on the 22d day of July
1799, and was nearly sixty-seven yean of
acre. He was the son of the Eev. Ebehbzsb
Jayne, a Baptist clergyman, and received
the most of his educatisn under the auspices
of pious parents. When quite a youth he
removed to Cumberland county, New Jerssy,
and commenced life as a poorly paid school
teacher. Perhaps the experience he obtained
in this position was the secret of his future
success.
Even in his boyhood he was remarkable for
energy and enterprise. About 1821 he com
menced the study of medicine, under the tute
lage of Dr. E. SniPHKBD, a practitioner of
marked ability and influence. lie pursued
his studies with untiring industry, and in due
time was admitted to practice. lie performed
the duties of country physician for corns
years with eminent Buccess, but had the ambi
tion to desire a wider field of usefulness. In
1837 he came to Philadelphia, and commenced
as a practising physician, but after a short
time found himself gradually becoming a
leading druggist, and from that time to the
present has been entirely engaged in that line
of trade. Ills first place of business was
at No. 20 South Third street, where ho re
mained for several years.
He next removed to No. G South Third
street, where his business rapidly increased.
It was here that he commenced the manufac
ture of the medicines that have made him
famous. By the use of judicious advertising
he soon placed his goods prominently before
the public, and for tne last quartar of a cen
tury they have been procurable in every
quarter of the globe. Ilis immense business
foiced blm to seek more extensive quarters,
and in 1849 he commenced the erection of his
magnificent Quincy granite structure, in
Cbusnut street, below Third. The centre
building was finished in 1850, and the wings
added in 1832. This building is a credit not
only to Dr. jAYSB.but also to its builder,
Mr. Hoxii,and the city in which It is located.
Having entered into gigantic improvements,
he made it the business of his life. During
the years 183 and 1354 he secured the lot
immediately in the rear of his Chcsnut street
building, running from C alter to Dock streets,
and erected a fine building, somewhat similar
in style and of the same massive proportions
as the Chesnut street establishment, which
was Immediately leased by the Government,
and used for several yean as the Post Office.
In 1856 he commenced the building known as
Jayne's Hall, in Chesnut street, below Seventh,
bat at presont used by one of the most exten
sive mercantile firms .of the eity. In 1859 he
built the beautiful ornamental brick edifice
familiarly known as the Commonwealth
Building, and In 1860 ho built the splendid
marble stores upon the site of the old Arcade.
At the time of bis death he had nearly com
pleted one of the most magnificent private resi
dences that our city boasts. It was his inten
tion to spend his latter years la that ease
which industry and enterprise always merit,
but his. tmddon death has , disturbed bis plans,
!' I
and brought to naught all his purposos. It
Is cstinatcd that the splendid mansion at
Nineteenth and Chesnut streets will cost
$300 000 when completed.
For some ears past, Dr. Jayne, though
the head of his firm, aod of course the pnict
pal capitalist, had practically retired from
buslaes, giving his time wholly to the grand
Improvements of which he was the protector.
It Is not probable that we w'll ever have In our
city one who will do as much for the architec
tural adornment of Philadelphia, aad, conse
quently, his death is a great public loss. The
drug business will be conducted by the re
maining partners, Ebeit C. Jayne, a nephewt
and John K. Walker, a near relative of
the deceased, who bave for many years beon
the active managers of the concern. The
funeral ceremonies will occur on Saturday
morning next.
Wno Shall Rkpbebent Ocb State?
When the old Hall ol the Ilouse of Represen
tatives ol Washington was abandoned by that
body upon the comp'etlon ot their new and
moie palatial apartment, a resolution was adop
ted giving the old rotunda to be the depository
of the portraits and statues of such men as
might be selected by the respective States as
those of their children of whom they wero
most Justly proud. '; he continuance of the
war has prevented many of the Common
wealths taking any action in the matter; but
now. when peace has returned, we are glad to
see that it is probable that the original design
will be carried out. We notice thit the Massa
chusetts Legislature have selected the statues
of Governor Wintheop as their representative
of the Colonial period, John Adams of th J
Revolutionary age, and William Llotd
Gabbison as the representative of tha strug'
gle for freedom.
We hope that Pennsj Ivania will soon have
her niches in that grand assemblage of tho
most august of Americans filled with those of
her sons of whom she Is justly proud. Let
us have the founder of our State, William
Penn, as the representative of the Colonial
days, and Benjamin Franklin as the type
of I evolutionary fame, while ot late years we
leave it to tbe good sense of our Legislature
to select who is the greatest of our living
citizens. We would name none, for it would
be doing injustico to the many brava and
talented men who have either won a lasting
fame with their swords or made themselves
immortal by their mechanical inventions. We
hope, therefore, that the proper action will
shortly be taken, and that our State need not
appear to have no great men because she has
Inexcusably neglected to secure their statues.
Of Interest to Advertisers. It is a
received maxim among business men, and
one which has been bequeathed to us by such
giants in the commercial and financial world
as Gibaed and his compeers, that the shortest
way for a man to gain a large custom is to
freely advertise. Such a course has always
been viewed as the surest and lastest means
of attracting attention, aad, with true worth,
to be known Is all that is desired. As cooi
as a customer knows that such an article Is
for sale at such a store, if the tradesman is
honest, he ought to be satisfied. For when
the article is needed, ten to one that the pur
chaser send for It to his establishment. All
this is known, but we bave recently seen a
new idea started in connection with the
system of advertising, which we quote :
"It was the remark of a verv eminent Bo3-
toman that he regarded an advertisement in a
paper as a personal Invitation extended to him
to rait, and added: 'While I sometimes hesi
tate about entering a store the proprietors of
wmcu nave not tnus sent tucir cards to my resi
dence, 1 always feel certain of a cordial welcome
from the nK-mbera of an advertising: firm.'
There is in this remark an assurance of one of
the niaay results of advertising. The trader and
his calling become identified, and the name of a
man is inseparably connected in the mind of the
public with his merchaudise. It may not be the
very day an advertisement appears that it bears
its fruit; weeks or months may elapse, and then,
when the want arises, the article to be obtained
immediately suegests the advertiser. This is
the enect ol general advertising when persist
ently followed. The object which all aim to
accomplish in advertising is an increase of busi
ness. The nimble shilling is what we require in
thit age. It costs very little more in the way of
expense to carry on a business of two hundred
thousand dollars than it requires to do half that
amount. The cost ot rent, personal living, and
many incidental expenses do not increase in the
ratio ot business, wnile time is saved; tor there
ia greater profit resulting from a trade of two
htindred thousand in one year than l'.'om the
same amount, aad even more, extended over
twice the space of time. These slioole fuels are
well known by energetic business men, who
adopt advertising as the most powerful method
of avlng time, by Increasing business, and thus
making capital doubly active. Indeed, it is
onen maae a suDsutute ior actual capital."
Here, then, is the secret of success. It is in
persistently keeping claims to patronage be
fore the public The richest men in our city
are the men who advertise most. The men
who, starting on nothing, become millionaires,
are the men who advertise freely. A persist
ent continuance of extensive business cards
has never failed, and never in the course of
human affairs will fail. If a man has time to
wait, then let him not take this medium of
being knewn. Ue may succeed just as well
in the end. But In our fast age, to be up with
the times requires life, spirit, enterprise ; and
to snch we would recommend the advice of
Gibabd "Never begrudge the money paid
for advei Using, for it will more than pay for
itself."
Lieutenant Mariot states, from experience,
that tbe Chinese and Coohin Chinese preserve
tbeir ships admirablv from the ravages of the
ship worm (Teredo Nazalis) by moons ot two
kinds of resin, which are obtained from certain
native trees. One ot them Is called by the Anna
mites Vaudau. which means oil tree. It otten
grows to a height of from two hundred feet to
two hundred and forty feet A sinirle tree will
yield rrora two to three litres or oil Dy luo sion.
The native cut lanre boats for as many as thirty
men out of its trunk, and these boats are so
durable as to descend by Inheritance from father
to eon for many Keuerailons. The other tree Is
also much of the same kind, but not so eood.
Vessels having their keels coated with a mixture
of the resinous substances obtained from these
two trees will resist the attacks of the ship-worm
for maay years, and ail Chinese and Anuamite
oara ana junks are so preserve.
