A HARD LAW ON STEAMBoATMEN.-0n the
up trip to Pittsburg of the steamer Commerce,
respectfully dressed, intelligent-looking lady
came on the boat at Cairo in company with
several others, and engaged her passage to that
city. She was apparently in good circum-
stances, had several trunks, and more than
sufficient money to pay her passage. While on
tho way up she became completely deranged-
although She exhibited no signs of insanity on
taking her passage-and continued in that con-
dition until the arrival of the boat at Pitts
burg. On Wednesday morning the captain
was slightly taken aback by the appearance OF
two police officers, who notified him that his
presence was desired at tho Mayors office. On
his complying with this polite invitation, he
was informed that he had been guilty Of vio-
lating one of the city ordinances, and must pay
the penalty. He had brought up "pauper !"
| to which offense there is attached fine Of 80
| to $500. Not wishing to risk suit, and the
certainty of heavy expenses in any event, the
| captain "dusted up" 81 TO the offended author
| ities and taking his quondam passenger to the
cars, placed her on board and paid her pas
| sage home. There seems 10 be peculiar hard
| shin in the application of the ordinance, but

A WORD OF EXPLANATIoN.- For
many months past we have endeavored
to procure, just before going to press on
each publication day, the latest news by
telegraph, and have never succeeded
but in two or three instances. The line
has been almost invariably out of repair,
or communication shut off from some
other cause unknown, until now we des-
pair of ever obtaining late intelligence.
This is not said to complain of the tele
graph operators-for it is certainly to
their interest to furnish us with dispatch
es if they can possibly do SO; but as an
explanation to our subscribers who might
otherwise think us lacking in enterprise.
As the Press is published at the end of
the week after all the news of the prece-
ding six days has been spread before its
readers in a dozen different sheets, it is
impossible for us to give it any more than
local interest; for which reason we have
always been chiefly anxious to ELL it with
home occurrences, to make it a medium
for the discussion of home topics, and
the development of home interests.
This is an humble, but we believe, use
full endeayor 1t is impossible for a
village hebdomadal to compete with the
large dailies of the cities in the depart
ment of general news, and it is to be
hoped the patrons of the Press will
attribute its deficiency in this respect to
the right cause.

Church Dedication.

On Sunday last the Methodist Church
edifice in this place was dedicated to the
service Of the Christians God. Rev. S.
Simonds, Presiding Elder of this Dis
trict, and Rev. d. A. Dryden of Neva-
da, assisted by the local preacher, Rev.
Mr. Scofeld, performed the services,
which were very interesting and witness
ed by large audience. Mr.. Dryden
delivered the dedicatory sermon, taking
for his theme the origin, progress and
destiny of the Christian church. His
effort was the ablest we have heard from
the pulpit of California, and was charac-
terised by degree of liberality as cred
liable as it is unusual Looking at the
subject from his own standpoint the
discourse may be pronounced every way
admirable. AT its conclusion an appeal
was made to the congregation for money
topay off the debt of the church, amount
ing to about $500. While some of the
brethren went about with slips of paper
receiving subscriptions, Mr.. Simonds
remained at his post making solicitations
which seemed to be considered by the
audience as rather amusing than other
wise, judging from the smiles and sensa-
ton. We have heard some objections
to this mode of obtaining money for
church purposes, but do not consider
them well founded. In our opinion the
obtaining of money even in the very
temple itself, is quite as religious an act
as any other performed in the service of
the Lord; and the ejingling of coins on the
altar erected for His praise is doubtless
as acceptable sound as the chanting of
hymns. Those who urge the above OBJ
lection would, as rule, be glad of any
other excuse for not parting with their
money. Such is the gratuitous opinion
of an outsider. The amount collected
and subscribed was only something over
$3.50. That this result may not be at
tributed to meanness on the part Of cur
citizens we may mention the fact that
later on the same day upwards of 5000
in cash was in short time contributed
by smaller number of persons than
attended church-for the benefit of the
widow and orphans of lamented towns
man. Such acts ennoble this commu-
nifty and make us love it.
Not the least interesting feature of the
dedication was the taking vote to as
certain how many of those present were
In favor of completing the church and
devoting it to the service of the Al
mighty The ladies were excused from
voting, but nearly all the men rose to
their feet, only two or three wicked
wretches obstinately remaining seated.
And SO the church on the hill has
been dedicated. While yet unfinished
it was several times dedicated by the
passage through its portals Of the be-
loved dead, whose features were beheld
there for the last time. Grief had re-
peatedly sanctifed with its tears the
edifce, and in many sad memory it
will be sacred forever as the scene of a
final parting which must be repeated in
the experience of all

How to Read with Profit.

For the sake of those who are not &C.
customed 10 systematic reading, we make
some suggestions as to the mode of reading,
so as to gain the highest advantage from
the books they peruse.
/. Ascertain the aim of the author.
You will thus know what to expect from
his book and save much time, which might
otherwise be spent in looking for what you
could not find. An attentive reading of the
title-page, preface, and table of contents,
will enable you to judge pretty accurately
what the au, hor is about. Some facts, too.
which float only among intelligent men,
will aid you greatly in these matters.
2. Read aoakefai,y and atenticely, and
with determination to comprehend thor
oughly the book you are perusing. Read
neither credulously nor skcptically, but
candi'lly; endeavoring to go to the root of
the matter, if possible. One hour of such
reading is worth week of the supei fetal
reading which is so common,
3 Read with good Dictionary at your
etjo,c, aud consult it freely whenever you
meet word you are not sure you under
stand. Webster and Worcester are the
best in general use. We use Webster.
Never pass an important word without
mastering its meaning in the work you are
reading. In this way you will soon gain a
good stock of words for your oa0a use, while
you are learning the meaning of the book
you are reading.
A. After reading chapter, close the
book and try 10 recall, and state briefly in
your own language, the substance of the
chapter, in the order the author pursues
This is one Of the most profitable exercises.
1t will show you just how much you have
gained by reading. If you cannot do this
just read the chapter again. The second
reading will probably do you some good
The first reading has been of little use to
you, if you are unable to state what the
main thoughts are.
5. IF the book is your own-but not if
it is a borrowed one-you may mark with
a pencil the most important thoughts. You
will thus rememb them more easily, and
can refer to them more readily.
Adopting these suggestions, you will
read slowly, but what yon read viii become
yours. 1t will stir up your own thoughts,
and probably develop your mental powers
as beautifully as any other discipline you
can have.

We've Struck Kentucky"

1t is well known to most of our reader,
that the ei terprise of Tennesseans has con.

that State to Kentucky line, under the
promise, from their Kentucky neighbors.
that they would coniinue them into their
State. All these pixies still end at the State
line, with no prospect of their being ex-
tended. The consequence is that. in sea-
son like the present, whea the roads are
soft, and there are frequent rains and
SHOWS, and heavy crops to haul over the
roads, they get into the most horrible con-
dition, and it is no exaggeration to say that
the traveller from Tennessee absolutely
drops into Kentucky and if he does not
drop in so deep that horses can't haul him
out he is lucky byond the average of his
class.

Plain Habits on Personal Behavior.

A well bred lady is always known by
the perfect ease and tranquility of her man
ners. These points are TO be carefully cul-
tivated. Acquire, if possible, an easy con.
fidencc in speaking, so as never to appear
abashed or confused, taking care, however.
not to fall into the opposite error of for
wardness or presumption. Persons moving
IN the highest circles of society, seldom, or
never, allow themselves to appear disturbed
or vexed, whatever occurs to annoy them.
Perhaps there may be an affectation of in-
difference IN this; still, their conduct is
worth admiring, for everything Ike fidgeti-
ness or boiSterousness of manner is disa-
greeable to all who witness it.
Everything like the following will of
coarse be carefully avoided by real lady
IN her personal behavior. Loose ard harsh
