TEE AVIS"
Strisliaasisd, 81. Srpiz.
TUESDAY, 18TH NOVEMBER 1867.

1T is very astonishing, that all govern
ments do not act up to this golden precept:
ID unto others as you should wish others
do unto you; = and it is more than surpris-
ing that this Government here should not
follow directly, or closely, this well-known
and purely charitable precept ; for, it is an
established fact, that there is not a country
In the world, wheresmore Just and equitable
laws exist than In Denmark and her Colo
MES; with the exception of a few, which
do not suit the spirit and the age of the
present times.
But we have gone a little astray from
the subject we intend to bring before the
public to-day !; however, the foregoing can
be considered the preface.
The merchants in this Island contribute,
in every respect, to pay taxes, Customs
Dues, to bear burdens placed on burghers;
in short, are called upon, to do what every
other citizen is expected to perform. Yet
we see a great imposition is taken OF them
by the Government. We mean to say: that
every public office in this Island is request
ed, annually, to send in acquisitions to the
Government for stationery, which are or
dered from Copenhagen. Is this quite fair7
Could not contracts be made here with one
or two merchants to supply the different of
fees with what they require? Not ofcourse,
as pr. ream of paper, or a bottle of ink &C.;
but in the same quantities as they receive
these things from Copenhagen. We are sure
this would be a very reasonable method; and
we feel convinced that as cheap and as good,
or even better, articles would be delivered;
and the expenses incurred by the charges
of freight, box &c. would be saved.
And last, but not least, the printing Office
here suffers considerably, through the very
same means. The blanks of the different
Offices are all, with very little exception;
say, a few, now and again, from the Police
Office in Frederiksted, and the one here
the former, however, contribute more large
ly. Well, this is very considerate, indeed!
Would we not be satisfied to- print all the
blank-forms at a reasonable rate, provided
they are ordered in the same quantities as
they are obtained from Copenhagen Ger
tainly we would. But no! what pays best
is denied US and what pays least is inn
posed upon US. This is charity: and this

approachable, the advertising patronage of the
emporium-it has expended $60OO,OOO in lot
and near million in a building for its great
business-and all this the accumulated result
of James Gordon Benefits enterprise, indom-
liable perseverance and undoubtng faith in
his own success. The Herald has made him n
millionaire. No other man ever made so much
money out of a newspaper; he stands first and
foremost as the representative of successful
journalism, and, from his palatial residence on

Herald palace on Broadway, the whole popula-
ton regards him as preeminently the architect
OF his own immense fortune.

days and quiet nights to NewYork. Liquor sell

gives quiet Sundays and has introduced marks
OF civilization in many of the dark recesses of
the city. But there is an immense emigration
to New Jersey, where they allow people TO
drink Sunday, and has created a strong de-
mand for Jersey lightning, which kills at FORTY
rods. On the whole, it is wonderful how yell
this peculiarity Of the Excise Law is enforced.
and it is really gratifying to witness so good
results. But doubt very much whether the

The Rrin1er.

The following article concerning the
printer will be appreciated by members of
the craft as clever effort, worthy the
comic genius of Hood: THE printer is
the most curious being living. He may
have bank and quoins and yet not be worth
eent--have small caps and neither wife
nor children. Others run fast, but he gets
along best by setting fast. He may be max
ing impressions without eloquence--may
use the I've without offending, and be telling
the truth-while others cannot stand while
they set, he can set standing, and he does
both at the same time-have to use ttrni-
ture and yet own no dwelling-may make
and put away pi, and yet never see a pie,
much less eat it-be.a human being and
rat at the same time-may press great deal
and not ask favor-may handle a shooting
iron, and yet know nothing about a cannon.
gun or pistol--he may move the leuer that
moves the world, and yet be as far from NOV
ing the globe as a hog with his nose under a
mole hiII-spread sheets without being a
hou .eW i'e-he may lay his form on a bed,
and yet be obliged to sleep on the bare floor
use the dagger 10 without shedding blood,
and from the earth handle the stars (*x*).
He may be of rolling disposition and never
desire to travel-Ae may have a, sleeps foot
and not be Acknowledgement be without a
case, and know nothing about law and
physic-be always correcting his errors, and
growing worse every day-haye an em-5 brace
~ without ever having the arms of lass
thrown around him-distribute the metallic
all around him daily, and yet be as unchar-
table as the veriest miser-have his form
locked up and be free from Jail, watch house
or any other place of conference.-the
Office may have a hell in it and not be such
bad place after all-he may be plagued
with a deuH and be Christian of the best
kind. And, what is stranger still, be hon
est or dishonest, rich or poor, drunk or So

Romantic Affair.

r Quite an excitement was occasioned in
fashionable circles in New York few
days ago by an affair which called for the
interference of the police detectives and
minister of the Gospel before its cumina-
ton. A wealthy gentleman of Cincinnati
last week left that city resolved upon en-
gaging in business in the metropolis, and
before doing so had occasion to visit a
certain family with whom he had been
for a long period OF time on terms of
friendly intimacy. LII this family was an
interesting young lady, for whom he had
evinced an attachment of a more tender
character than that of mere friendship
and who, happily for his fortunate self, re-
turned his affection with all the feeling
or youthful heart. On hearing OF the
departure of the one she held so dear, after
in vain attempting to make him desisG from
his intended journey, she formed the reso-
luton of accompanying him unknown to
her parents. The gentleman endeayored to
induce her to abandon her wild idea, as he
termed it, but she would listen to no ap-
peal and made all the preparations neces-
sary to leave her home clandestinelys with
him, after having made him promise that
he would not reveal her project to any
member of her family. The pair arrived
safely in New York city and put up at the
Metropolitan Hotel, the gentleman treating
the Young lady with all the respect due a
apartments for her exclusive occupation.
They had not been in town over two days
when a dispatch was received from her
father by the authorities at police head
quarters, requesting that the gentleman
who had "eloped" with his daughter
should be arrested. Under instructions
from his chief, detective Elder arrested the
gentleman at the hotel, and he was held in
custody at the Central Office until the ar
rival of the young lady's father. The old
gentleman was very naturally in state of
great perturbation, but on learning how
matters stood, and that there was really no
such thing as criminal elopement, he ap-
peared to be somewhat relieved from his
fearful apprehensions, and to satisfy his
daughter and the man for whom she had
abandoned home and family, preparations
were made for the marriage of the pair.
All parties to the transaction were thus
rendered happy. The wedding was cele-
brated in due form at the residence of Cap
tain John Young.
