HOW TO HAVE A GOOD PAPER.

We find the following in the Liberal Christian
and copy it, thinking it too good to be limited
to the use of the readers Of that paper: r.
We never met but one Yankee who did not
think he could preach and edit paper, and he
was dumb and blind. OF course everybody
knows just how preaching and editing ought to
be done, and Of advice there Is surfeit. But
something may be said on the other side Par
ishioners have hand in making good minis
ter and whether paper shall be interesting or
not depends quite as much upon its patrons as
upon its managers. If patrons will adopt the
following rules they will find that their paper
improves wonderfully: e.
Pay your subscription promptly, and you will
fluid your paper 20 per cent more interesting,
than when you owe for it, and enable It's pro-

NEWSPAPERS AND LIBEL SUITS. The
Providence Journal having been sued for
libel in the publication of a police item
in which nominal damages were awarded
thus calmly and candidly reviews the
"situation":-- .....
Yet in defence Of the liberty of the
press, without which free institutions are
impossible, We ought to say that if we
cannot print such articles as the one that
was complained Of, we cannot print a
newspaper, 10 the modern acceptance of
the term. 1t is not an answer to say
that the damages were nominal it is the
labor and vexation and expense of the
trial that constitute the injury. Libel
suits against newspapers generally end in
disagreements Of the jury, or in verdicts
of nominal damages, for in the heated
contests in which political papers engage
there will generally be, among twelve
men, at least one who is pretty sure to
find for the plaintiff, and at least one
who will be as sure to find for the defen-
dant, But the cost of the trial is the
same. And if the proprietorse of a pa
per are to be dragged into courut, on eve.
ry item of police Intelligence, the full au-
thority of which they are not able to ver-
ify, they must cease t. print tina. descrip-
ton of news, they must cease to publish
altogether. We have been engaged nj
that employment for almost the time that
is generally allotted to human genera
ton. That in all that time We have
been misled by false information into
many statements that were not correct, it
undoubtedly true. No possible precau.
ton, no human sagacity could proven
this If We waited for the legal vertical
ton of every item, before we printed it, it
would cease 10 be news, long before it APP
pesred in our Gins, But it is equally
true that we have never knowingly pub
lished what was untrue, and that no man
bas ever been injured in our colmns, but
we were more anxious to render him JUS
tice than he could be to demand it. The re-
pusation Of our paper, its value as prop.
erty, no less than sense of right, require
this at our hands. And that such has
been our uniform practice we appeal to our
whole record to show.

troubles have broken out in Missouri, and
so many elements of discOrd are still at
work thronhout the Union as to concen-
trate the attention Of American statesmen
on internal politics Whatever inclination
there may be to meddle with foreign af-
fairs is Just now engrossed by Mexico. and
France has for once become the object Of
greater jealousy than England. This We
ny exceptional state of things appears to
constitute strong argument for waving
punctilios of national dignity, and making
overtures for arbitration of our own ac-
cord. Such am act, we venture to predict
would be appreciated by all parties in Am
erica. Hostility to England rs no part of
republican traditions, and the Republicans
have selfish motive for avoiding breach
with any foreign power, since it would
strengthen the hands of the President
The President, on the other hand, has al
ways shown a desire to cultivate amity
with this country, and if we may judge
from recent indications, this feeling is
shared not only by Mr.. Seward and Gen.
Grant, but also by Mr.. Stanton and Mr..
Welles. The latter has expressly acknowl-
edged the conciliatory course taken by the
British government on the fishery question
and Mr.. Seward gave proofs of his pocif-
ic sentiments at most critical period,
which cannot be cancelled by the intern.
perate language to be found in some Of
his dispatches. Such a combination of
favorable conditions cannot repeat itself
Lord Stanley is in better position fer
negotiating on our behalf than Lord Clar-
end was. or than any future Secretary
of Foreign affairs would be. We have
far more to loose than to gain by change
in the United States government, and it
i, but too probable that such an event
would be followed by revival of these
claims in more'peremptory form. They
are not forgotten by the American people,
and they never will be forgotten until
they have been submitted to some impair
-ial adjudication. BY proposing this our
selves, we tacitly confess that Lord Rus.
sell erred in declining to entertain it last
year; but we put ourselves in the right,
which is a vantage ground worth any eff
fort to obtain. Ry waiting until it is
again proposed by the United States, and
then consenting to it, we shall justly In
cur the suspicion of yielding under COM

DIR. SCHENCK ON DYSPEPSIA.
4. SYMPTOMS. CAUSES AND REMEDY

Symptoms of Dyspepsia-A serse of fullneSs
tightness, and weight in the stomach, together
with fiatulency, acidity, sour offensive belching
of wind water-brash and vomiting, and great
deal of what person calls an ail-gone feeling at
the pit of the stomach frequently there is also
a palpitation of the heart, which physicians mis-.
take for heart disease, and when the stomach ia
in this conditonit is coated with a mucus Of
slime. The rough fibrous portions of the stom.
ach, similar to what we see in tripe, is what
throws out the gastric juice, and when the stom
ach gets thick coat of slime upon it, it pre-
vents the gastric juice from flowing, and diges.
tion ceases. Schenck's seaweed tonic dissolves
this mucus or slime, and restores the stomach to
its natural condition. yw
Schenck's Mandrake Pills are also required to
carry off this morbid matter. Twothirds of the
cases of Consumption are caused from the dis.
eased state of the stomach ; the liver becoming
torpid. it ceases to throw out bile. and in short
time the whole system is deranged, The mucous
membrane of the bronchial tubes sympathizes
with the other organs, and before the patient is
aware of it, he or she has Bronchial or Pumona.
ry Consumption.
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup cannot act freely
through the blood when the system is in that
locked.up condition, withtut the aid of the Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. The Liver has
all the venous blood TO strain. and when it gets
in morbid condition, blood and bile run thro'
the system mixed, and the whole body becomes
so low, and the blood so thick it ca hardly run
through the veins. In a majority of cases hem
orrhages occur from this thick condition of the
blood. The Mandrake Pills act on the Liver
similar to calomel, or they do what that does
it unlocks the gall bladders, starts the bile, and
the blood begins to circulate naturally through
the veins, and the h@morrhages cease. If, when
persons are attacked with hemorhage, they
would first take good purgative, something
that would act on the liver, they would soon be
relieved from bleeding from the lungs, and it ia
the only way. for astringents are only tempors
ry, and irrltate the bronchial tubes, and lay the
groundwork for consumption.

cheating the people around Champlain,
N. Y. lately, by selling them receipts for
making new and cheap oil called red
rock oil, being one part of kerosene to
four parts of water with several ingrcdi-
ents to color it. These being mixed, and
after standing twenty four hours (time
for the rogue to escape) would make ex-
ccllent burning oil, and would consequent
ly reduce kerosene to very low figure.
The practical effect was that the who,o
mixture being colored alike the purcha-
sers did not perceive that the oil was all
on top and of course burned freely-for a
while; bnt the water woalqn't bnrn any
