A Word FOR NEwspApERs.-We copy the
following article from an exchange:
Nothing is more common than to hear
people talk of what chey pay newspapers for
advertising, etc., as so much given in charity.
Newspapers, by enhancing the value of pro
perty in their neighborhoods. and giving the
localities In which they are published a rcpu-
tationS abroad, benefit all such, particularly il
they are merchants or real estate owners, thrice
the amount yearly Of the meagrc sum which
they pay for their support. Besides, every
public spirited citizen has a laudable pride in
having q paper which he is not ashamed of,
even though he should pick it upin New York
or Washington. A good looking, thriving
sheet, helps to sell property, gives character to
the locality in all respects is a desirable pub
lie convenience. If, from any cause, the mat
ter in the local or editorial columns should not
be quite up to your standard, do not cast it
aside and pronounce it Of no account, until you
are satisfied that there has not been no more
labor bestowed upon it than is paid for. If you
want . good, readable sheet, it must be sup
ported. And 1t must not be supported in q
spirit of charity either, but because you feel a
necessity to support it"

pension of $4,000. The stipulation
was made that he should forever reside
abroad, and provision was made for his

where he resided for several months
From Italy he went to England, and
on MAY IL, 1924, sailed for Mexico
with the view of recovering his
lost empire. The Mexican govern
ment having been apprised of his
leaving, suspected his intentions, and
passed decree prescribing him as q
traitor. and declaring that the mere fact
of his landing in the country should
render him a public enemy. July 18th
he landed near the Fort of Soto la Ma
rina, and having made application to
General Garya for passports, was ar
rested and conducted to Padilla. At b
O'Clock in the afternoon, having con-
fessed himself, he was led to the place
of execution. After he had spoken a
few words to the assembled crowd, the
order TO fire was given and he fell dead
instantly. His pension was continued
to his widow, on condition that she
would reside either in Columbia or in
the United States. She chose the lat
ter. and has lived in Philadelphia, where
her children have been educated.
The Emperor left a large family.
Don Filipe distinguished himself in the
American army during the war with
Mexico. Don Angel married lady of
Georgetown, d c., and is the father of
a boy now about five years old, who
was transferred by his parents to the
Emperor Macmillan, with the expecta-
ton that he would one day be Emperor
of Mexico, Macmillan having no chill
dren of his own. The eldest daughter
of the Emperor Agustin, lady OF great
intelligence and most estimable char
acter, remains with her little nephew
at Mexico. She is recognized by Max
imilian as the Princess Imperial, under
which title she enjoys at the Mexican
Court a precedence nett after the En-
peror and Empress.

One of the prettiest tricks of the sea-
son of that sad rogue, Cupid, was Wit
messed few days ago at a skating party
not hundred miles from our cap ital
city. & company of young men and
maidens, and some gray boards, too,
had met at the fine pond IN the viciI ity
of -, during the first days of the late
'cold snap" and among them were a
young lady and gentleman, both stl an

visit to friends.
The sport had begun, and all was go
ing merry as marriage bell, " wnen
the young lady, whose name for The
present shall be Belle, glided e1ay, ia
advance OF her companions. toward the
center of the pond. Every eye foil Nv
ed her in admiration as she spua roI nd
in may circles, or darted away On lines
as straight and unerring as geometry.
1t was beautiful practice, and the Ia ly,
in her excitement, did not notice that
the ice began to bend around Ter, out
several of her friends who were neal est
her saw it, and cried out to warn Ter
of her danger. Strangea it may Sc m,
fearless as she was, she grew peraly sed
with terror, and, though she kept ler
feet, che seemed incapable of NOV .ng
from the spot, and stood gazing, as if
fascinated, at the place where the ice
began to show signs of breaking up.
1t was high time TOR some ore to at
tempt a rescue, and Henry -, the
strange young man, rushed foIwarj as
fast as steel could carry him. A Iao-
ment of anxiety, of breathless srspe1 Sc,
and he has reached her; and now, Nth
his arm around her waist, with the
treacherous ice bending and Cracking
beneath their feet, he guides Ter rap
idly to place of safety. The torriit
spectators see the water gushi 20 u a
few yards behind them; and at l. st " len
the danger Is over, there are soEle Il ars
shed that were not put down in that

The acquaintance begun under such
circumstances soon ripened into iau-

and as truth is often stranger than fic-

STRANGE REVERSE OF FoRTUEF.-The
sale Of the famous Steele oil farm, on
Monday last, for a government debt of
S11, 600, is one of the most striking in
stances of the reverses of fortune. says
the Erie Dispatch, that has occurred IN
some years. In 1864, this farm. when
left to John W. Steele, was returning
an income of $1,000 per day, and in the
safe, kept by Mrs. McClintock, who left
him the property, was $4,000 in gold,
aud 500, 600 IN greenbacks. Steele
and Slocum tSteele's pmtEerl were
famous names N the oil regions. while
their money lasted. To-day Steele is
impoverished, and Slocum is serving
out term of imprisonment for being
concerned in brutal assault on an un.
offending man. The descent of these
soil princes" has been as rapid as was
their acquisition OF almost boundless
wealth.

LADIES DRESSES AND THEIR GosT. =
A lady correspondent of San Fran
cisco paper writes: lone lady of my
acquaintance, of rein d and cultivated
tastes, and noted for her tasteful ward
robe for home as well as street cos
tunes, expends upon il $40 per month.
OF course her own graceful handiwork
is apparent in large proportion of her
apparel. Another, less circumscribed,
dresses very handsomely on Sl5 per
month; and still another, whose gepteel
outfit attracts many an observant eye
upon Montgomery street, succeeds in
keeping her expenditures within $50
per month. These are not supposition-
al cases, nor isolated ones; their name
is "legion." Commenting upon this
item, the editor remarks: I'VE slg-
gest to the ladies in question that they
can make a good thing of it, financial
ly, by opening a school in this city for
the purpose of teaching women how to
dress with taste and economy. If they
can teach women how TO get themselves
up in good shape at an expense of from
500 to $40 per annum, We venture t.
say they can realize more than the
teachers of any other art in existence. y
