The EVANSVILLE JoURNAL.-In
its issue of the 23d inst, the EVANS
WILLIE JOURNAL contains large cut
illustrating their commodious and ell
egant new building. which has recent
~ been completed. The cut is accom-
panied by condensed history of the
JOURNAL, from its establishment Ia
1881 down to the present time, and
which we are glad to observe, places
that staunch Republican sheet in a
most favorable and prosperous light
The prosperity of a newspaper estab-
lishment is but the reflex Of the pros
perity of the town or city in which it
rs published; and taking this as. a
criterion, Evansville is certainly on
the highroad to a brilliant future.
No business man, who heartily wishes
to see the place in which he lives
prosper, will fail to support his news
paper. which is, in fact, the grand
lever that moves business to his door.
And fully approaching this, the mer-
camille. community of Evansville have
enabled the JOURNAL COMPANY to
build up a business second to none of
Its class in the West We sincerely
congratulate the JOURNAL on its
prosperity, and wish it long, life of
usefulness and honor.-Shdaoneetouo1t

CHEAPNEss OF CHINESE WARES
A vessel recently arrived at San Fran
cisco with large amount Of goods
from China, purchased at prices so
remarkably cheap that the Custom
House officers at that port would not
believe in the veracity of the invoices,
and seized the. goods as falsely valued
by the purchasers. The probability
is. however, that the invoices are
correct. lit takes so little to sustain
life in Chino, and wages are so low.
In the importation were handsome
sets of porcelain, bought for four
dollars the set. Beautiful fans,
painted by hand in brilliant colors,
with figures of dragons and Chinese
beauties, purchased at a cent each.
Spades for garden use bought at the
cost Of few cents each. Straw hats
of good quality invoiced at a cent
each. Nice baskets, in sets Of four,
costing, in the Celestial Kingdom. but
four cents a set, and other articles
equally low.
