AS A FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
The Weekly Tribune is pre-eminent. In adj
dition to the space devoted to reviews, no
tees of new books, poetry, &C., we intend to
publish short stories, original or selected,
which will generally be concluded in single
issue, or at most in two or three. We intend
that The Tribune shall keep in the advance
of all that concerns the agricultural. mining,
and other interests of the country, and that
for variety and completeness, it shall remain
altogether the most valuable, interesting and
instructive NEWSPAPER published in the
world.
The Tribune is the cheapest, and best ed
tied weekly newspaper in the country. We
have all the advantages around us. We have
great Daily and Semi Weekly editions. All
the elaborate and intricate machinery of our
stabEshment-perhaps the most complete in
Americas devoted to the purpose of max
ing The Weekly Tribune the best and cheap
est newspaper in the world.
The Weekly Tribune is the paper of the
people. Here the eager student may learn the
last lesson of science. Here the scholar may
read reviews of the best books. Here may be-
found correspondence from all parts of the
world, the observations of sincere and gifted
men who serve the Tribune in almost every
country.
No newspaper SO large and complete ss
The Weekly Tribune was ever before offered
at so low price.

Some one was telling me the other
day (says newspaper correspondent,
a new story about the late Dean
Richmond, who was known far and
wide for his profanity and gruffness of
manner. Richmond was here at the
time, and my informant, who was
then boy working in a printing
office, wished to get pass over the
Central Railroad. With this purpose
in view he entered the Office where
the magnate was, fearing that he
would be rudely rebuffed when .he
made his mission known. After a
moments hesitation he said, falter-
ingly:
!" Mr.. Richmond, believe ?n
eyes; what do you want of ME )"
81 should like, sir, to get u pass
from Albany to Buffalo, so | can go
up on the boat for nothing"
:" On what grounds do you ask for
pass % This with a rising and
very rough voice.}
"On> the grounds, sir, that | don't
want to pay my fare"
Richmond, without another word,
wrote out a pass and handed it to
the Applicant
The boy took it, saying, "Thank
you; thank you, Mr.. Richmond"
"You needn't thank me, youngster.
Pm glad to accommodate you. You
are the first person I've ever known
to ask for pass On the right
grounds"

An Instructive Parallel.

The commeudabie tone which dis
tinguishes the Warmoth journals, in
their notices of the death of our Lieu
tenant Governor, is in marked con-
trast with the barbarous peans OF the
Custom house organs on the announce
ment on a former occasion OF the
serious illness of Henry Clay War
moth. Nor less noticeable is the rev.
erence with which the former bent
over the grave of an adversary, while
the homage of the latter would be
paid by a saerilegious pyre over the
shrine where their idol reposes, in
which friend and foe alike would be
inundated in diabolcal rite. In
stead of testifying their unaltered de-
votion to their departed leader, in the
becoming garb of unaffected grief,
the eulogies of the anti Warmoth
editors and pennya-liners consist In
infammatory appeals to the bad
passions of the hour. Nor inconsist-
emit with their Characteristic venalty
is that monstrous theory of the death
of o. j. Dunn by which they would
arraign his political opponents before
the bar of public opinion, and incite
his race to avenge his untimely
demise in a holocaust of blood. When
faction, composed of unscrupulous
malconteRts, resort to such desperate
and Unusual measures to prolong its
vile existence, its malady is desperate
indeed, and its recovery is doubtful
under any treatmcnt.-Iberville Neacs.
