have always deprecated the prac-
tice of publishing cheap papers. 1t
has done more to degrade the press,
than any other obstacle it has had to
contend against. In the first place it
causes publishers to get up papers on
a cheap, trashy plan; and drives the
editor and publisher to setting type,
instead Of preparing, condensing and
arranging the news and other matter
for the paper. When | see paper
decreasing in price, it looks as if the
publisher was hard run to compete
with his noighbor, and as a last re-
sort attempts to undersell him.
This cheap system was first started
by the trifing, cheap concerns OF
Philadelphia, which had neither lite
rary or real merit enough to gain a
circulation; so they resOrted to the
dishonorable trick in trade of selling
a poor article below the market price.
The same practice has extended to all
parts of the country. Now, | will de-
iy the world to produce a man, who
has sense enough to publish a country
newspaper, who will dare to say that
such a paper can or should be pub
lished for less than 50 peryear. Then

seconded with $4,000.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle of the
9th inst, in noticing the failure of
this bank, says:
On Friday morning the bank had
Just S5, in coin, to redeem its out
standing circulation, which amounts
| to over 100000.
The Cashier, John NJ. Wagon
seller, is a detaulter to the amount Of
! $50, 600, and left on Thursday. morn
| ing for parts unknown. He is report
ed to have been a fast liver, of loose
and expensive habits; and deeply in
volved in Eastern speculations. Large
sums, we are credibly informed, have
been recklessly loaned to corporations,
the great amount of which will be a
total loss to the bank. Among 9th
ers. S2O,OO0 to the worthless Gramer-
cy Bank, Indiana. The causes of the
failure are similar to those of the Lam
caster Bank, and, occurring just now,
when money is in such urgent de-
mand, will tend still further to in
crease distrust and uneasincss in the
money market,
The affairs Of this concern must
have been managed with the most
criminal carelessness, and our com,
munity will wait with considerable
interest for further disclosures to re,
veal the facts of this doep.laid bank
swindle.

No institution contributes more to
the peace, prosperity, morals and re-
speclabllity of a community than its
Sunday Schools. Schools prevent
crime. SeminarieS, and Public
Schools, it is true, enlighten the mind
and develop mental genius, but the
especial objects Of the Sabbath School
instructions are the heart, the life, the
destiny, the soul. The natural de-
mand of the soul for religion of some
sort-for a Divinity to do homage to,
is far greater than the aspirations at.
ter fame or wealth. 4 kind heart is
to be more desired than a wise head,
where the two qualities cannot be com
bined. Theconqucsts of genius are as
the flashing oflivid lightning which
cracks the gloomy thunder cloud and
leaves the world to wonder at his power.
But the heart that feels the thrill Of
kindness, that is good, and true and
pure, beams like the uno6structed
rays of mellow moonlight upon the
world, imparting pleasure, clovating
tt" desires, subduing the passions,
an leading men to initiate its virtues.
Not even the family circle is so well
calculated to improve the heart Of a
child as the instruction Of the Sabbath
School, for here greater truths than
ever parent uttered, are taught, and
the child learns, what many men nev.
er learned, "who is my neighbor?"--
Toa faithful teacher there is no more
delightful employment than to teach
chiIdren-susceptible as they always
are-the simple truths Of the Bible,
and when we contemplate the silent
influence which these Sabbath School
instructions have in forming the fu-
ture character of the man or woman,
the position becomes of the greatest
Importance and responsibility.

No use for Trousers.

On the morning of tho meteoric
shower in 1888, Old Peyton Roberts,
who intended making an early start to
his work, got up in the midst of the dis
play. On going to his door, he saw
with amazement, the sky lighted up
with the falling meteors, and he con-
cluded at once that the world was on
fire, and that the day Of judgement
had come.
lie stood for q moment gazing in
speechless terror at the scene, and then
with yell of horror sprang out of the
door into the yard, right into the
midst ofthe- e-falling stars and here in
bis efforts to dodge them he commen-
ced a series ofground tumbling, that
would have done honor to q rope dam
cer His wife being awakened in the
meantime, and seeing old Peyton
Jumping skipping about the yard call
ed out to him to know, what in the
name O. sense he was doin', out thar
dancin', around without his Clothes
But Peyton heard not--thc judgment,
and long black account he would have
to settle made him needless Of all ter
restrial things, and his wife by this
time becoming alarmed at his behav-
iour, sprung out of bed and running to
the door, shrieking ont at the top Of
her lungs
"Peyton, I say Peyton, what do you
mean, imnpin, about ont tharl Come
in and put your trowscrs on"
Old Peyton, whose fears had near
by overpowered him family answered
as he fell sprawling on the earth
"Trowsers, Peggy what the hell's
the use o'rowscrs when the worlds
a-fire."

why do they do it? 1t is because they
have not the talents and the VIM to
make their papers win, except on the
ground that they are cheap.
In the next place, the system Of
publishing cheap papers, drives men
OF talents from the Press, into other
departments of business, where hon
orable competition had not descended
to the lowest tricks of the trade.
1t is true that there are some in
ducements held out to publishers of
country papers to attempt to compete
in price with the silly trash Of city dol
lar papers, gathered from the dailies,
There are in all communities few
poor, stingy souls, who have not the
sense to appreciate a good paper
These men want a cheap paper-no
matter what it is filled WITHHOLD or
new, chasto or filthy-so tits cheap.
The constant grunting and growing
of these soulless creatures make some
weak-minded publishers believe that
if they will reduce the price, enlarge
the type, fill up with large heads to
their merchants advertisements (who
also only pay half price, that their
circulation will be large enough 10
pay better. These short.sighted pub
fishers thus decide that there is a large
majority Of CENT-LoyING skin-hints in
| the community.
A very good county paper is a mine
Of wealth to the county in which it is
located. 1t gives responsibility to the
people by its appearance ; tgives life
and energy to business by its bring
ing before the public in a suitable and
sensible way, the advantage of the
county for Agriculture, for machinery,
for manufacturing, &c. In this way
a good county paper will add to every
mans farm hundreds of dollars, and
yet that farmer will 60 sneaEing into
the printing office to get that paper for

ent and enterprise enough to make his
paper desirable, except on the ground
that IT Is CHEAP.

Our Diplomacy.

The Washington Nc,cS has the fol-
lowing from its Washington advisers:
II is now supposed that Mr.. S'idell
will 90 out as Minister to Paris, to
relieve Mr.. Mason, o0Ao is anxious In
return home. ltis also said that Mr..
Belmont, who is at the Hague, will
replace Mr.. Dodge at Madrid. Mr..
Lyons, Of Richmond, Va, as | have
before informed you, is, however, the
most likely to receive that commits
sion. The object ofour Government in
sending Mr.. Slidell to Francois torep-
resent to L. Napoleon tile necessity Of
.f6ncaraing the viewS etths american
pcople for tie purchase Of Cuba from
SPAIN. 1t is we'll understood here
that the French Emperor will raise
no objections to any fair bargain that
the two nations can agree to; for he
plainly sees that, in case ola rupture
between the United States and Eng
land, the latter would endeavor to
seize on Cuba, under one pretense and
another, and ultimately establish a
protectorate over it for the purpose OF
holding it altogether as her own.
Cuba and all the islands in the
Gulfot Mexico and the Caribbean Sea
naturally belong to tie North I'M
eyicun Continent; and no European
considerations of international law
should stand in the way of the Amer
lean people, if their possession by
those whose political views and con-
duct are calculated to weaken or en-
danger oar institutions by too close
Il proximity to us. If we do not get
peaccble possession Of Cuba and her
sister islands in the due course Of
time, for a fair equivalent in money,
it must be evident to the most superb
cial statesman here or in Europe that
manifest destinyn-or, in other
words, the force and influence of the
natural current of events in a nation
like ours-will, without doubt, very
shortly accomplish it.

my sent 10 the Territory.
The Washington correspondent Of
the N. Y. HeraLd writes under date
Of Thursday:
A letter was received here to day
from W. W. Drummon1, U. S. Su-
preme Judge, in Utah Territory, by
the Administration. 1t gives a sad
and deplorable picture Of matters in
that Territory. The following is Ia
ken from the letter:
"The leading men of the church are
more tratorous than ever. Only q
few days since all the papers, records
iockcts, and 900 volumes OF laws
were taken out of the Supreme Court
Clerks Office and burnt. And this
| is not the only instance ofthe kind
say to you again, and through you
to the President, it is impossible for
us to enforce the laws in this Territory.
Every man here holds his life at the
will of Brigham Young; and here we
are without protection.
81 am firmly of opinion that Rab-
bitt was murdered by Mormons un.
der direction of Brigham Young, and
not by Indians. Murder is a com
mon thing here; and Mormons can
not be punished with a Mormon jury,
witnesses, officers and Governor to
pardon. 1t is too, cruel, and must
not be endured. a man, not a mem
Der Of the church, is murdered, robbed,
castrated and imprisoned, solely for
questioning the authority of the
church. Persons are now in the pen.
itentarv, convicted before the Pro-
bate Jude, who are wholly innocent Of
any crime. Is there any other country
where this abuse would be endured!-
Let all, then, take hold and crush out
oneof the most reasonable organiza-
tions in America"
The Administration have had the
matter under serious consideration,
and will soon appoint a Governor, ]
understand, who will take sufficient
military force into that Territory to
carry out the laws to the fullest
extent.

Robert Kettle, of Glasgow, was ofa
joyous nature, and the very things that
would have irritated others, only ex-
cited his mirth. Having left some
temperance tracts at the house of q
friend he found them, on calling q few
days after, serving the purpose of pa
per curls to one Of the young ladies'.
"Well," said he, 81 see You have
made use Of the tracts" but immedi.
ately converted confusion into merri-
ment by adding: "only We have put
them on tie acroag8ia o ger head,

Fusion Financiering.

1t will be remembered by our read
ers that, during the last year Of Dem
ocratic administration in Ohio. nearly
halt a million Of the State Debt was
paid off. During the campaign of
1856, Gov. Chase and the smaller fry
OF abolition orators and politicians
| played the part Of demagogues before
the people by complaining OF high tax
cs and especially condcmning the pol
icy of the Democratic State officers in
endeavoring to pay offthe State debt
by a gradual annual reduction--and
some of them suggested and adyoca-
ted the plan Of meeting maturing
debts by new loans, creating new and
greater debts, asserting that the State
could make money by selling her
bonds at a large premium. One Of
Chase's cheap Judges, BrinkerhoG,
was the reputed author ola very fool
ish article on this subject. 1t seems
that their plans has to be given up.
Chase in his message says, "cxpcri-
ence indicates the danger of relying
upon new loans for the payment Of
maturing de6ts. 1t was confidently
anticipated that this loan would COM
mand a premium Of at least nine or
ten per cent, while the premium ac-
tually realized was only three and a
half. 1t is not difficult 70 conceive OF
a state of the money market in which
the bonds of the State could not be
negotiated at par. In such a case a
resort to ne,o Loan would be attend.
ed acih grem pecunialy loss" So
much for the policy. But what we
wish to direct the attention Of the tax
payers of Fairfield to, is the transac-
ton above referred to by Gov. Chase,
and so briefly alluded to in his mes
sage. A portion Of our State debt
fell due, amounting to about ~, 400
900. The fusion fnanciers undertook
to pay it off by obtaining a new loan
for that amount. The sale of the
bonds ofthe rich and prosperous State
of Ohio was advertised in papers in
both Europe and America. On the
1st Of October last the 81. 100000 in
bonds was sold at q preD,jNm of three
and one ha!fper cent, only. Our
virtuous Governor did not have the
nerve TO denounce this transaction in
his message, nor the State to aChoHa
and by lch0na this sale was made, but
refers to the report OF the Commission
ers of the Sinking Fund. The mes
