How THEY GET SUBSCRIBERS OUT WEST.
We have heard of all sorts of contrivances
for obtaining subscribers for newspapers, but
a friend of ours gives us the following anec-
dOte, as a matter Of fact, which we consider
a novel way of incre asing a subscription list,
al all events!
A new daily paper was started, some years
ago, in a city not a thousand miles from D-t.
The proprieIors found it shard sledding', al
first, and were obliged to resortto the custom
in those "~diggings"-of employing an agent
to prowl round among The Hooziers and VOL
verlnes, TO collect names and obtain the tia.
The agent was known as the ''stout bullying
cuss" OF The - GaZette--and his chief
recommendations were first rate qualifications
for drinking, and much better for fighting.
John entered a bar room one day, where
he met a brawny looking fellow demolishing
a brandy smasher, whom he Immediately Join
ed at the bar.
'liltake mine hot says John.
The liquor was swallowed, and the stran-
ger paid the bill.
Subscribe 10 the - Gazette, sir
no. bawled the other.
'No,' inquired John, 'why not?'
'Oh, d-n your Gazelte.'
will you be kind enough TO say thai
again, iriend?' cody replied John.
Say it? yes; d+n your Gazette.'
Viii you subscribe fe:Ihe Gazetteer
NE? Not by a damn sight. 1t is the
meanest print in iowa.
'It's what?'
'Yes'-continued the stranger, and the
next minute he was sprawling on the shop
floor, John coming down on top. John gave
him another ~'feeler,' and then asked him i
he would subscribe for the - Gazette!
mo, | WON'T
Whack, whack came the blows, thicker
and faster, John insisting that the poor devi
should subscribe, as a condition of getting
up again, alive. The sufferer finally gave in
'Let me up, | say
'Will you subscriber II LtjI -
yes
And pay in advance?
yes
John let him up-took his five dollars
wrote a receipt and cody walked out Of the
shop, with Il guess friend, you will like the
- Gazette.'

SELLING CIRCAssIAN WoMEN.-lt may surprise
Europeans that q people so fond OF liberty as the
Circassians. should makea trafhc OF their daugh-
ters by selling them 10 strangers, it Is however
considered an honorable manner of providing for
them; The maidens themselves do not object to
it, and be it observed, that The chiefs seldom sell
their children to d stranger, their daughters be
ing too much sought alter by their coun trymen.
Before the Russian war, during the teuds that
prevailed among the Inhabitants, 1t frequently
happened that the members of one tribe would
steal the daughters of another and sell them
since, however, they have made one common
cause against the Russians. such acts have en-
tireIy ceased. There is now also much dItlculty
in smuggling the maIdens TO Consta ntlnoPle, IN
consequence of the very severe blockade Kept
by the Russians on The coast; and from The pres
ent limited commerce with Persia and turkey
the price of a Circassian woman in Clrcassla has
very much overwhelmingly, for a maiden,
would be demanded from a hundred TO a hun
dred and fifty cows and oxen, or their equIva-
lent; now u very handsome girl may be bought
for fifteen, and a perfectly beautiful one Tor thlr-
ty, a circumstance much reloiced at by the
poorer Circassians, for beauty OF form and figure
are more priced than mental accomplishments.
The ceremony OF marriage is very similar to
what it is in Persia, with the exception that as
the Circassia n maiden constantly wears from her
childhood a tight corset, the bridegroom, as soon
as he is alone with his newly married bride, rips
II open with his dagger, a proceeding attended
sometimes by serious consequences, both from
the danger the girl runs OF being wounded by
the point of the weapon, and also from the too
great suddenness with which she is deprived OF
The tight bondage that has encircled her Tor so
long a period.
As in Persia. a wife is purchased by her hus-
band of her parents; the price is usually paid IN
cattle, though sometimes IN what is at the mo-
ment the most necessary to the family. There
is also a sum settled 10 be paid as u dowry to
the wife, in case she be divorced without just
cause.

DREADFUL CASUALTY.

The northern papers contain accounts of
dreadful casualty-the loss Of the Steamboat
Swallow, which happened few days since near
the City of Hudson, New York. The boat
struck upon rock, and almost Immediately went
down. There were about 800 persons on board
including about sixty ladies. The New York
Tribune says: "
" Yesterday was devoted 10 the sad duty oil
probing the st1nkPn wreck for the bodies OF the
dead, and with too fatal result. When our report
er left, seven bodies had been recovered-six be-
ing females. Among the latter had been already
recognized Mrs. Briggs, Miss Mrs. Wood, and
Mrs. Cotton, of Troy, whose husband came down
on hearing the news of the disaster, and was pre-
sent when the body of his wife discovered.
"A gentleman of Detroit, named Huest, having
bag containing ST. 500 in gold, jumped overheard
with the bag upon his arm but was obliged
TO let it 60. He was only saved by having FORUM
ately grasped narrow strip of board, as he jump
ed Close after him came another man, claiming
the board with curses and imprecations. AS he
struck out from the boat he almost Immediately
went down, graspInG the possessor of the board
bv the foot. He, however. released himself with
great difficulty. and was saved.
"From the best estimates at which we have
been enabled to arrive, there were on board the
Swallow. at the time Of the accident, not far from
three hundred souls. Ninety-four were rescued
by the Rochester about forty by the Express and
a number of others. chow many we could not learn)
went up to Albany on the Utica and Robert L.
Stevens
SIT is Of course at present impossible 10 determine
the number Of persons lost bnt it is the general
opinion that it will not fall short of thlr!y-and
NAV be as high as fifty"
