What tells SO readily the standard of a town or::city as the appearance ofiss news. papersY And it's youth or age can as well be cvinced by glance at its newspapers as though personal observation had been made. The enterprise of its citizens is depicted by it's advertisements--their lib- erality by the looks of the paper. Some papers show good solid, healthy founda- ton, plethorses, and well-tc-do appearance generally others show a striving to con. tend with the grasping thousands, trying to wrench ont existence from the close listed community around them. An occa- sional meteoric display in its columns of telegraphic, of local or of editorial, shows what it would do if it had the means, but cannot continue in the expensive work un- til the support comes which ought to be readily granted. A newspaper is like a church; it wants fostering 8. the commence ment for few years, then, ss general thing, it can walk alcne, and reflect credit upon its location. Take your home paper it gives you more news of immediate inter- es.s than the New York or other distant city papers It talks for you when others speak in your favor, when other localities belle you, it stands up for your rights, you always have champion in your paper, and those that stand up for you should certainly be well sustained. Your interests are kindred and equal, rise or fall togeth- er Therefore it is to your interest to sup port your home psper-not grudgingly, but in liberal spirit; as a pleasure, not as disagreeable duty; as an investment that will amply repay expenditure.

A DIAMOND MYsTERY.--Although all the known sources of diamonds in the world are running low, astonishing quantities continue to be supplied to the trade in Europe, and as these are unmistakably genuine, dealers are greatly exercised to know where they come from. While some are of the opinion that certain parties have dis covered, and keep secret, 'certain inn mensely productive mines in the East, others are quite as confident that some lucky chemist produced them by arti- ticial means, and has thus far kept this great discovery in purifying and chrys- talizing carbon 10 himself. A man named koeppig, of Breslau, who has made immense sales of diamonds of late in Paris, and who has kept all the cutters of Antwerp busy for some weeks, is thought to hold the key of the mystery. So say the late foreign papers.

Beeoher on Babies.

Mr Beecher, in his novel of " Norwood' makes one of the characters an old sailor discourse on babies after the following fashion
 "Parson Buell., it's the uncacountablest whim what the Lord sends children into this world for, considering what kind of a place 'tis, and what time people have gittin' thro' it. They die of like apple blossoms, half on 'em, before they'er big ger'n mice. And the rest on 'em have a hard time gittin' grown, and when you've got 'em growd half, the folks are paddling round as if they did mt zackly know what what they come on arth for, and nobody can tell 'cm for that matter I never see babies but think how we used to have birds come aboard the ship way out to sea Hand birds, and so hungry, poor little things, and so tired. You could go up to 'em and take 'em in your hand, and they turned up their bright eyes with such a piteous look at you as if they had come from ever so far, and had lost their way, and did mt know where they was. Wall, that's about what I think of babies. What do they come of to this ere world for? Why don. they stay where they're well of.

Put the salt into the first gathering of cream, or into the clean cream pot. Another item quite as important, is, to stir the cream frequent ly and thoronghly--oncc day at least, twice or thrice is better. An ounce of salt to pound of butter, after the butter milk is out, is the rule many food dairy women who mrks butter for the Boston market.

The nIoSrgan-DeIano Case.

The Mount 2 ernon Banner says:
On the night of the 22d of May the tes-
timony was finally closed in the contest be-
tween Delano and Morgan, and we hazard
nothing in saying that General Morgan will
not only retain his seat, but that his major
ity will be more than doubled. And this Is
not only our opinion, but it is the Judgment
of the learned and esteemed counsel. who
assisted General Morgan in the different
counties of the District. It is true
that his opinion is based upon the
yestigated by the committee and honestly
bv the House. 1t Is also true that the COM
mittee on Elections is composed of seven
Republicans and two Democrats, but Cen
eral Morgan feels every confidence that the
case will be heard and determined with the
irnpartiality of acourt of law. And { this
be done, the result may be considered de-
termined, for evidence in the case demon
strates that Mr.. Delano had not, and has
not, the shadow of claim to the seat OF
Gen. Morgan. '-i'--@-'' J

The Bull and the Locomotive.

An interesting case was tried in Holli-
daysburg, Pa, before a Justice of the
Peace, on Saturday. May %. John H.
Fritchey, of Altoona, had returned Robert
Webster, VIM. Cunningham, Wm.l Brady
and Wm.h Mathews, engineers, together
with Phillip Lowe. George Morrow, Mi
chael Travis, and VIM. Gaily, firemen, for
violating an act of Assembly, passed April
%, 1874, in that they pursued their ordina-
ry worldly calling, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, on Sunday, May 10, 1857: The
facts alleged were easily proved. The at
torney for the defendants said he had wit
nesses to prove that the prosecutor was
aetuated by malicious and reyengeful
motives in instituting the prosecu-
tions, and also by desire to extort money
from the railroad company. This proposed
evidence was decided to be irrelevant, and
therefore ruled out. John Riley, Esq, Su-
perintendent of the Pittsburgh Division,
testified that the running of the trains OBJ
jected to was considered work of necessi-
ty, but he closed his testimony by saying
that the reason the company had kept them
going was because they would lose money
by the traffic being diverted to other roads,
if the Sunday trains were stopped on this
line. The defendants were fined 81 each,
and costs of prosecution. 1t is said that
the prosecutor intends to flight it out on
this line" by returning some of the rail-
road employees every week. The defen-
dants have taken a writ OF certiOrdri, return
able to the Court at the July term. when
the legality of the proceedings before the
Justice will be fully tested.

The Drowning of. Parkman.

The Selma Times thus relates the escape
and drowning of John NJ. Parkman, the de-
faulting President of the First National
Bank of Selma:
On Thursday evening, when the jailor
opened the Jail door, Parkman rushed out
and made for the Alabama river, about 75
yards distant. The jailor fired at him as
he ran. and soon afterwards he was seen to
fall. Recovering himself he ran into the
river and struck out as a swimmer The
steamer Gertrude was lying about twenty
wards below where he entered, and his
movements were distinctly seen by party
of ladies and gentlemen aboard. He dis
appeared once or twice while floating down
to the boat, and efforts were being made to
save him. Reaching the wheel OF the boat,
which was not in motion, he paused for a
moment, stifed and exhausted, then sunk
under the boat and has not been seen since.
He leaves wife and two children over
whelmed with the sad calamities of few
weeks, and exciting the tenderest sympa-
thies of the entire community. -,
A native of Selma, Mr.. Parkman's rapid
success in business, and his pleasant social
qualities, had won for him the kindly in.
terest of our. bestpeople. His errors in the
closing scenes of his bank, should, we
think, be attributed to his youth and ambi-
ton, and not to any mature fraudulent in.
tentions concerning its affairs. yl 90

covered at last accounts. --t r-i-.'
