SEVERE REToRT.-A man who mar
ries rich wife must expect to have it oc-
casionally flung in his teeth. We have
heard of a retort, however, which, we
should think, must forever have silenced
such thrusts. A gentleman who had the
misfortune to marry fortune, was once
exhibiting the fine points of his horse to
friend. "My horse, if you please" said
his wife; "my money bought that horse"
"Yes, madam" replied the husband bow
ing: sand your money bought me too"

From the Baltimore Clipper

PRoGREss OF THE Press. Newspa-
pers were first published in Paris in 1851.
First published in England in 1912. First
in sthc United States at Philadelphia in
1919. The first publication in the United
States devoted wholly to mercantile infor-
nation, was commenced by a merchant,
Peter A. Grotian, May !, 1912, under the
title Of the "Philadelphla Public Sale Re-
port"
1t would be interesting to trace the pro-
gress Of the newspaper press from the
first publication to the present time. 1t
was long time before the patronage was
sufficient to sustain daily paper; but as
commerce increased the demand for news
papers gave rise to competition, and the
impetus once given, papers multiplied with
the improved condition of society, until at
present almost every small village in this
country is supplied with its printing es-
Enlistment.
We see that up to the year 1912, stock
obbng was held in so little estimation
that no regular list Of sales was publish
3D. Merchants and others did not look
to the brokers of Wall street for the evil
dences of national prosperity or dispres-
sion. HOW different from the present
time. Now the prices Of stocks indicate
the financial, if not the moral and politi-
cal condition of the world-and he who
is about to embark in any undertaking of
magnitude, first consul,s the brokers' re-
ports.
In regard to newspapers we have passed
from one extreme to another. When first
published, they were SO diminutive in size
as to be scarlely longer than loolscap
sheet. Now some will cover half the
floor Of an ordinary room, and still are ai-
lorded at a trihing expense. in no de-
partment Of the arts has there been more
extensive and important improvements
than in that of printing The adoption of
new principles to the printing press, has
given wonderful facilities in the produce
ton Of papers and books, and so greatly
have other departments of the art been i'm
proved, that we see little left for future
invention except the construction of a
machine editor-but we doubt whether
such an editor would not be too tranquil
to please modern politicians.

ARREST OF A CONSUL.

Mr.. Cross, the American Consul at Ma
tanzas, has been arrested by the Spanish
Government. The following from the
Pennsylvania Inquirer, throws as much
light on the subject as any thing we have
seen.
"Sometmc since, female from the
United States, named Angelina, died at
Matanzas, left a considerable property, and
made no will. Her effects, amounting to
several thousand dollars, were divided
among several persons, as is alleged, with
the knowledge of Mr.. Cross. The Span
ish authorities consider that they have
right to the property, and hence Mr.. c. is
held under an order from the Governor
General, to explain or account for his par
ticipation in the affair. The story is
long and somewhat intricate one. The
arrest and imprisonment, espec ally among
foreigners. Mr.. c. denies the allegations
against him, and has sent on letters en-
planatory Of his case, and asking the in
reference Of the American Government.
A man named James Higgne, who re-
ceived portion of scrip belonging to An
geline, came to the United States, for the
purpose of obtaining the money on it.
But it had not been transferred, and so he
returned to Nlatanzas, where he was ar
rested, and thrown into prison, where he
still was at the last dates. Several thou
sand dollars belonging to the deceased,
were deposited with Mr.. Bailey,a ma
tive American, but now merchant at Ma
tanzas. It seems that, according to the
Spanish notion, persons dying without
immediate elatves-their property is ia
ken possession of by the Government; and
and the charge against the Consul is, that
he participated i'll some act calculated to
deprive the Government Of their legal
rights-hence his arrest. The question
involved is nice one, and perhaps bet
ter time than the present could not be Sc
ected for its Gnel adjustment.-Penn. Inq

WANTs.-The poor want-the COM
forts, and many Of them the necessaries
of life.
The rich in general want-the co..mon
feelings of humanity.
The larger wants-a rich client.
The physician wants-patients to use
up his pills and pay off his bill.
The mechanic wants-a plenty of work,
and good spirits to do it, and prompt pay
when tits done.
Tie merchant wants-cash customers,
and expansion of credit.
PRINTERS AND EDITORS want every
man to do what is right, and to give them
their dues.
1t IS whispered that some young ladies'
want husbands; we think this may be a
mistake; if it is, we will be happy to cor
rect it.
In conclusion, we believe it will be adj
mi'ted by all, that every description of
peuple want fortitude to bear with the ills
OF life--and that many, very many, want
sufficient skill to float p aceably along the
current of prosperity.

WORK FOR AUGUST.

Draining and Ditching-This is pro-
badly the best month in the year for the
performance OF this kind of work. Hav-
ing introduced this subject to the notice
of the reader, we will observe that att
lands intended for grain which does not
lay dry should be made so, as none of
the bread grains thrive upon wet soils
Sprouting.-This is the best month for
sprouting, cutting down bushes, &C., and
if you have lands requi ing the removal
of such nuisances, appropriate portion
Of your force to this duty.
WecdS.-Cut down and carry as many
of these as you can to your cattle yard
to be converted into manure.
Potatoes.-keep the weeds down and
the earth stirred around them.
Fruit Trees. Insects, such as wasps
and flies, will be swarmmg about the
early fruits, when intent on the fruit, and
half buried in the excavations they have
made, they are easily come at, and may be
killed very fast, by dipping feather in a
little sweet oil, and touching their backs
with it; they will instantly die; insects Of
different kinds are easily killed by oil, it
closes up the lateral pores by which they
breathe, The wood-louse and ear wig
also begin to prey on fruit trees. A cele-
brated British gardner recommends :the
following method of cnsna' ing them;
