Uoe officers, the Mayor was von? careful at
firet, and byhU tardiness in making appoint
ments and by Mb strict inquiries he caused con
siderable dissatisfaction among the faithful Dem
ocrats. Recently he has been flercely bosleged,
and he has either relaxed his stringent rules,orhe
has been greatly imposod upon by his friends.
The character of some of the men who have been
appointed lately will not bear much scrutiny.
These individuals who are now to draw money
from the City Treasury do vory well to swell up
Democratic votes by stuffing ballot-boxes, keep
ing Republicans away from the polls, and other
means,but they are not the kind of persons whom
our citizens like to have to guard their property.
Two or three fellows who now strut about with
police badges on their coats have been under ar
rest for beating and nearly killing policemen
under the administration of Mayor McMlchael.
During the past three days the following ap
pointments of policemen have been made:
First District—Peter Dick, John W. Maguire,
Frederick Steinmyer. l
Second District—Thomas M. Reoyes, Edward
Murphy, Behjathin While, Charles Walters, John
Bums.. . .
Third District—John McCormick.
'Fifth District—James Donnelly, James Mc-
Mahon.
Bbcth District—Thomas Evans.
Ninth District—Peter J. Bunn.
Eleventh District—John Lnkens.
Twelfth District—B. George Strowhouer.
Sixteenth District—Thomas McFarland. ,

Qopigle, -Patrick J. Sherlock, Wm. Tatam, Jas.

Roundsmen—Albert H. Randall, Dennis Mui

' These appointments, with a few exceptions, arc
: all made to fill Vacancies caused by the removal
of old policemen. . r
James McGnckln, who it was announced a few
days ago had been appointed a special police
man 6f the Tenth District, has been transferred
.to the Reserve Corps. McGuckin was Judge o(
the Election in the Sixth District, Seventeenth
Ward, last October, and figured quite conspicu
ously in the evidence elicited in both the Third
Di'tnot Congressional and the city and county
contested election oases.

The necessity of exclusive attention to the pre
paration of my ■ report on the telegraphic ap
paratus of tho’Paris Exposition of 1867, which,
as United States Commissioner, I have just sent
to the Department of State, has prevented me
from earlier acknowledging my indebtedness to
you, and also to Walter Pbullpß, Esq., of Provi
dence, R. 1., for the result of the test of speed of
transmission by the Morse system, which was ac
complished early in 1868. .
“lour great skill in recording 2,620 words in
one bonr.and Mr.Philllpß’s feat of recording 2,731
in the same time, are feats which, so far as I
know, are unexampled in the annals of tele-
‘accept from me the accompanying
medal (aapnvenlr of the great Exposition of 1867)
as a email token of my admiration of your mas

special record.
“Accept the assurance of the sincere respect and
esteem Of your obedient servant,

The Midnight Mission.— We give the follow
ing statement of the work thus far accomplished
by this noble charity, in the hope that it may ln
dnce more of our citizens to come forward and
contribute generously to the support of the good
work. The Mission has been in operation four

girls have attended its meetings, which have
been held once overy week at 10% o’clock, P. M.

the shelter of the home, and have been under its
kindly influence for a greater or less time. Forty
five have forsaken their horrible life forever, and
have been placed in Christian families or restored
to their hemes. Those who desire to contribute
to the Mission can send their offerings to any of

Stebck by Lightning During the thundor
Storm of yesterday the house of A. Terry. Br., Esq.,
2133 Spring Garden street, was struck by light
nlng. The fluid entered at a window above the
verandah, third story back, and passing down
through tho floor into the bath-room, seemingly
spent itself in the projecting lead-pipe of the
shower-bath, making lu the celling and wall*
small apertures like bullet holes, and scattering
plaster in every direction. Mrs. Terry, who was
sitting in the verandah, made a narrow escape,
receiving a severe shock. The peculiar burning
and sulDburous smell which is the usual con
comitant of lightning thoroughly impregnated
her garments and person.
A large tree near the Eighteenth District Polloe
Blation was shattered by lightning yesterday.
A stable at Edgmonl and Beriis streets was
also struck by lightning during the storm yester
day morning. No serious damage was done.

the pavement, on Cherry street below Eleventh,
last evening, about 9 o’clock. Upon raising the
lid, a pretty female baby, apparently about Qvp

ing before Alderman Kerr, was committed for

the residence of Mr. Bell, on Thirteenth street,
below Jefferson. The thief waß discovered on
the roof of the house by a citizen, who fired at
him twice without effect. Ho succeeded in
making his escape into, the street, whore he was
again fired at twice by a policeman, both of
which shots failed to hit him. He was not cap
tured.
Resigned— Lemuel T. Selby. Bergeant of
Police of the Second District, resigned this morn
ing. Ho served as a policeman under Mayor
Conrad..and in the early part of the administra
tion of Mayor Henry he was appointed Sergeant.

The More the Mkrrieb. —People used to talk
about bigh prices as something inseparable from
big stores. Oak Hall has done muen to do awsy
with that foolish prejudice by giving a live ex
ample of the Largest Clothing House in the
State selling goods at the lowest prices. And
men are coming to understand that the truth is
just the reverse, snd that the houses doing the
most business and so requiring the largest accom
modations, are the ones who can and do sell tho
cheapest. In this as in everything else, except
courtship and marriage, “the more the merrier."
The merriest place In town is Wanamaker &
Brown’s, southeast corner of Sixth and Market
streets.

HOW TO ADVERTISE.
The following conversation occurred between tho editor
of th!« paper and H. T. Helmbold. dniggUt 694 Broad
way.
Editoe.— "Doctor, I understand that you advertise in
more than two thou.and newspapers."
Dootoe —“Yes, sir. Of the four thousand papers pub
lished in the United States. I advertise to two thousand
seven hundred."
Editoe.— "lt 1b really astonishing, doctor, how you ean
make it pay, and how you manage to keep the account oi
all of them, keeping vour advertisements to the positions
agreed upon, make the necessary changes, etc."
Dootoe.—"Well, sir, I will explain tho matter, and i
enter into a few dutnils which may Interest you. Some |
eighteen years ago I had a email drug itore to the city of j
Philadelphia, and at that time manufactured my fluid
extracts. They had but a limited Bale, and it required j
cowiderablo effort to bring them to the notice of phy 1
Blclaua. I was tolerably successful ultimately, and they I
were very generally prescribed by medical practitioners.
At this time extracts were sold in bulk—by the pound—
us ‘paregoric,’ ‘syrup of aquiliß,’ and other compounds are
Bold. My husineas increased to this way, bat the protec
tion afforded me waa slight A druggist receiving a
physician’s prescription ior my article,lortostance,would
to many cases, substitute that of his own manufacture
tlureby causing difficulty between tho practitioner and
myself. My Interests became so completely Jeopardized
that 1 concluded either not to sell to dealers to hulk, no
tlfy physicians of my determination, and be satisfied
to remain an obscure druggistln the upper part of a large
city, cr adopt some entirely different method. My mind
was considerably exercised as to what plan was the beat
to adopt I was aware oi the singular prejudice oxlsttog
In the mtadß of practitioners and ‘high-toned druggist.'
s gainst advertising remfdios, and. in truth, I then had
but limited means at my command to experiment in
•printer’s ink.’ u hen, one bright morning, while I wa»
sitting to my store waiting for customers, the Rev. Mr.
Onton, of Philadelphia, happened to, and Bald. ‘Dootor,
you have a nice little store, and Boom to bo doing a fair
business;’ to which I replied to tho affirmative. He then
remarked! Doctor, this la a business I think would suit
mo. I presume I could employ a compotent druggist, do
vote some of my spare time to looking alter the business
and thuß make it pay.' What think you?’ Tho idea at
once flashed across my mind to sell out, and I said I did
not suppose he would have any difficulty to carrying out
his proposition. He then inquired the amount I would
sell out for. whereupon I named a sum. and he accepted
tho offer. The negotiation was no sooner concluded than
I began to look out for a new place, and. with a few hun
dred dollars as my cash capital, was not long to findine
a small office, at 910 Chestnut street. Philadelphia,which
I rented, opened, and made ready for business to a fow
days. Advertising to mo was a new and untried field:
but. with the small capital loft. I determined to know
uud that qnlokly“-ite merits and value: forevtn at that
eaily date I was no hand to loiter, and I concluded to
know in a MONTH. 1 manufactured a small atook and
expended aU my surplus cash-amounting to about
82,000—t0 that short period. My experimental pro
gramme worked admirably, and from that tlmo I con
tinned to succeed, and increased my advertising in aeor
responding proportion. On these principles I hare man
aged to enlarge and expand my business, until it ha>
assumed Its present magnitude.”
EniTon.—"But, doctor, how do yon manage about the
making of contracts, the payment to publishers, etc?"
Dootoh.— "Oh ! that is a simple matter. When I have
funds to spare I invest the monoy In extending my name
and business, just as a mnn does who purchases real
estate or cultivates a farm; and! consider the investment
equally good, in evety respect. Nor do I over attempt t.»
make contracts without the means to make payments,
any more than a coed fanner would think of cultivating
his soil without the funds to pay far cultivation."
Editoe.— “But, doctor, you haye not yot exactly an
swered my question; what I wish to know more particu
larly is, bow you mske your contracts, and how you
know what profltß are derived from the different
sources?"
Doctor.— “ Well. these are questions frequently naked
of me In my place of business, on the streot, or wherever
1 may happen to be. It ia one of the first questions naked
by bnalneaa men. and, moreover, I seldom open my dally
correspondence without finding two or (three letters rela
tive to the same subject, some going bo far aa to aak my
views of the value, aa advertising mediums, of the dif
ferent papers I patronize. These writers always receive
civil replies. But, while wo are on this theme, Mr. Editor,
permit me to relate a little incident that occurred to mo.
and which I frequently relate to those with whom I am
familiarly acquainted. It happened about fifteen years
ago,while I was yet young in the business. To com.
mence: I chanced to be In the city of Washington, on
my Way South, and. as usual, was desirous of progressing
on my journey aa rapidly as possible. It waa about five
P. M. when I arrived. 1 did not wait until after dinner;
I wanted to know ilia proprietor of tbo loading paper lo
the capital, and to make a contract for advertising; so to
i,i m i straightway proceeded fie was out riding. I was
infoimed, and would not return to his office again that
day. I inquired for his residence, and, this ascertained
I determined to sco him that night, as I desired to leave
early on the morning of the following day. Dinner beta g
over, I started out in search of Mr. Wallach. Now, Mr.
Editor, fpresume you are acquainted with the said Mi.
Wallach. of the Washington livening Star. If you ars
not permit me to say that he ie a gentleman well worthy
of your acquaintance: but to the interview. Finding
Mr. Wallach at home, I presented my card, and related
my business. His reply waa polite, but pungent and tr
the point in something like these words: Thiels not my
ofifice, air 1 1 can bo found there from 10 A. M. to 3 P. M..
and my dorks attend to advertising.’ ‘But Mr. Wallach,’
I remonstrated, ‘that ia all very well, but I want to know
you. I wish to leave in the early morning train, and I
know vou will accommodate me.’ ’Well, what do you
wont, sir, in the way of advertising?’ I showed him the
space, for which he immediately named a price, and
which I accepted aa quickly. After closing the bargain,
he remarked, ‘if you had left this over until morning ypu
could have had it for one-half the sum-yee, probably for
ices than half, if you had fought hard.’ I replied, ‘lf
that is tho caeo, prebobly I had better pry half-yearly, in
advance?’ Ha guessed that was a good idea, and I paid
for tho whole six months in advance; but remember. I
knew Mr. WaUach."
Editor — l " Doctor, do you mean to state that you pur
buo this liberal course with all the papere in which ypu
advertise, and are you acquainted with the publlahorsof
twenty-seven hundred papers ?"
Douro*.—“With the proprietors of all the leading
papers, and the majority of the others, I enj ly a perso
nal acquaintance, and t» each papere ae the Niw York
Herald. Weekly Tribune, and Inoevendcnt, I have eome.
times paid from 1H teen hundred to three thousand dollars
for tho singio insertion of an advertisement knowing
that in such oaeeo the amount of spaoe occupied, and the
Importance of tho transaction, would necessitate an In
terviow. On one occesion I offered the eumof FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS for a page in tho Sew York
Herald. The offer wae oocoptod, but afterward de
clined, "on account of preSaof matter, notwithstanding it
Was double the usual advertising rates. This was at tho
