"PENNx WISE AND PoUND FOOLISH

With three newspapers in our county of
Jefferson, is really somewhat surprising, tt at
in this day of universal reading, when one or
the other Of these different papers reaches
almost every household in the county, there
are still those who are so wanting to their
own interest, as to be advertising valuable
commodities for sale, by written notices posted
upon sto'e-dOors, sign>posts and horse racks,
when they could reach the buyer or seller bv
the expenditure Of one dollar. The follow,

comparison both in orthograDhy, etymoIogy,

BLOOD WILL TELL.-On Saturday and Sunday
last, our city was favored by the presence of a
large body Of Pi-ute Indians who have been
spending the Winter somewhere in the southern
portion OF California, and are now returning to
their old home east of the Sierra Nevadas. The
Pi-utes are fine looking savages, and are both
mentally and physically vastly superior to our
spindle-shanked. grasshopper fed neighbors.
They are conscious of their superiority, and it
is amusing to notice the air Of contempt which
they assume in presence of the Root Diggers.
Last Saturday, Hangtown Indian came rush
ing into store at Upper Placerville, and in
formed the merchant that one Of the Pi-utes had
robbed him of his hat. The merchant stepped
80 the door, and sure enough there stood Mr..
Pi-ute with the appropriated son'brero under his
arm. "Did you take that hat from this Indi-
an ?" enquired the merchant ayes !" was the
laconic reply. "Well, what did you take 1t for?
1t is not yours, and you have no right to rob
this Indian" continued the gentleman. The
Pi-ute brought the discussion to a close by in-
dignantly exclaiming, "Hangtown Injin moth
ing but id Root Digger, anyhowW
On Sunday, quite number of the Pi-utes at
tended church, and behaved admirably during
the services. AS further proof of their supe-
riority as q race, when they passed through
Main street on Saturday, several of the squaws
were comfortably seated on horseback under
the shade of umbrellas, while the bucks footed
it and carried the pappooses.-PIac Oh

beautiful pieces of antiquity which Capri pos

all Italy such lovely creatures. They are tall
and stately, yet exquisitely graceful, with pure
oval faces, dark eyes, soft and downcast, and a
sweet dignity in their aspect and their bearing
that made them look to me like so many virgin
queens. / could not think with patience of the
comments had heard on the so-called messal-
lance Of the two English gentlemen who mar
ried Capri girls. Women like those we saw
are ladies. for their beauty is not mere beauty
of form and color, it is the perfection of woman
hood. They may be peasants, they may be ig-
norant, but rude or vulgar they cannot be,
with such noble, intellectual faces. Was Nau-

DEsrIrUr1oS IN MICHIGAN 1T isfound as the
result of careful inquiry by the local authori-
ties that one hundred and eighty-nne out of
eight hundred and seventy-one families In
Montcalm county. Michigan, are 10 state Of
destitution. The report Of the Board of Super
visors says that "they are in such straitened
and necessitous circumstances as to require aid
beyond their own means to enable them to
procure suitable food, and seed for spring
crops" The Board proposes to borrow. and
pledge the faith of the county for repayment
$4,000 for immediate use in relieving the
wants of the distressed. This is the second year
in which this tale has been told of that county.

A HEROIC GIRL.-In public school in New
York, o short time since, on an alarm of fire
terrible panic ensued, and many of the schol-
ars were injured by rushing to the doors, and
one Of the teachers, young lady jumped from
. window. Among the hundreds of children
with whom the building was crowded, was one
girl among the rest in the school, who. through
all the frightful scene, maintained entire COM
posure. The color, indeed forsook her cheek |;
her lip quivered the tears stood in her eyes ;
but she moved not. After order had been res
tored, and her companions had been brought
back to their places, the question was asked her
how she came to sit so still. without apparent
alarm, when everybody else was in such
fright. "My father" said she, "is fireman,
and told me if there was an alarm of fire in the
school, must just sit STILL"
