REBEL PAPERS DoN'T PAY.-The Democ-
ratio Prees, of Tuesday, in an article COM
planning Of the lack Of funds to carry on the
campaign says: 1.-THE Marysville Express,
the Mountain Democrat, the Sonora Denoc-
rat, the Sonoma Democrat, the Placer Herald,
the Napa Reporter, the Amador Dispatch
and several other Democratic papers would
long since have been suspended but for the
mechanical labor of their several editors and
publishers, the business of neither paying
sufficient remuneration to employ journey
men to do their work We may add to this
our own experience, that the result Of two
and a half years OF iDcessant labor has
yielded US not dollar, but a large accumula-

two robust young ladies from Pike were quar-

One was II years old, and weighed LIS lbs !;
the other Is, and weighed $50 lbs. Their
father had two long OK teams, and the younger

THE LUCKY OIL MEN.-A number of in
dividuals, who have lately become wealthy
in oil borings, have purchased fine residences
in Buffalo, and others are prospecting for
such. The Cleveland and Erie papers notice
purchases Of fine homesteads in those cities
by the oil men. That barren and sterile
region in Western Pennsylvania, so long
neglected, promises to send out more mil
ionaires than California with its gold mines.

Railways.

The Nsehias Union is in favor Of railway
which shall run through the shore towns OF
Ellsworth, Chcrryfc!d, Columbia. Machiar
&c. Sach a road, the Union thinks would
commend itself to the good sense, and the
interests of Il large population,
These remarks Of the Iuio1 are in refer
encc to the proposed railway from Bangor
to the =. Croix. for which the State and
general government are to he i!nportuned
to assist, We have no doubt hut savh q
road vould be valuable. as means Of
opening up a section Of this State but We;
little known. or settled bus we think with
our Machias contemporary, that If road
would pay in the direction named it would
be the best of stock if continued on the
shore route. As general thing railroads
have not been paving property in this
country, We think bu; few roads have
continued to pay handsome dividends, from
wear to year, in this country until within a
few wears. But if railway is to be built
from Bangor to Calais, the best paying
route would he the shore one, we think. It
would he little farther it is true, but
there is 4 succession of fouri>hing towns
through which il would pass, supplying
such 4 thoroughfarc with business OF every
kind. The Union has some good srgecs-

The Shirt and the Ruhie.

Somebody has said, that the English
man invented the shirt and the French
man the rufie.'' This saving may be
characteristic of the people of the two ma
tons. It certainly is good illustration of
Northern and Southern society before the
rebellion. The people Of the free States
We're unitarian in their views. and practi-
cal in all they did. Northern society was
the shirt made of that fabric which had
the most real service and wear in it. Ii
was designed and used to protect the body
polite and impart comfort and warmth to
the system. School houses. meeting
horses,newspapers, lyceums, reading rooms,
colleges. &C., &c, made up the warp and
wool of the web. The shirt was capital
in its conception. and eminently well
adapted to the end intended. Southern
men invented the ruffie The black man
farmed its warp aud wool. II did not be-
licye in the shirt at all. 1t ignored it, be-
cause il was all for Use, and nothing for
show. There is no use of the shirt, said
the rufiie. and We will dissolve the part
nership. and so came the rebellion. In
the end We shall see which is triumphant.
