For the past six or eight years there has
been a mutual sympathy between the
United States and Mexico, growing out of
the struggles IN which both engaged for
national existence; the former with its
own citizens the latter witha foreign foe,
When peace was restored, more intimate
relations were established between the two
toun ries, AM we have since experienced
and manifested lively interest in the vel
fare of our sister Republic. Following
Maximilian's expulsion, knot Of banished
Imperialists located themselves in Cuba
and from that time to the present have
been publishing dismal forbodings of their
country, and oft-repeated prophecies that
Juarcz and his administration would soon
be overthrown. One unacQuainted with the
facts might infer from the accounts of
these wiseacres, that Mexico was rent and
torn asuunder by fresh revelations, and
that the country had been going to the
bow-wows at any time within the past five
wears. Most of the Mexican intelligence
published in this country has been colored
by these expelled Imperialists. But one
after another Of their prophecies has been
brought to naught. Juarez and his admin
istation have maintained themselves
against all opposition, crushing one out
break after another, and gradually estab-
fishing the Republic on more enduring
basis. Now We are informed, contrary to
all previous prophecies, that Juarez has
distanced every competitor in the preslden-

Romero, TO whom the reins of government
could be so safely intrusted. It was under
his lead that the Imperial yoke was thrown
off. and he has since manifested no dispo-

JUDGE PULLING has recently decided that
a lease of homestead held in the husband s
name, is not valid unless signed by the
wife, the same as deed conveying the
title ia fee. This decision is the first that
we have ever seen upon the point, and al
though restrictive in its operations, just.
A homestead is protected by law, simply
because it is the home of family. Property
leased becomes productive investment Of
capital, and unless it is to the Interest Of
the family, should be discouraged. The
wife is as good judge of her own interests
in the matter as the husband and her wish
should be legally consulted Often this
con ,ent would prevent dissolute husband
from depriving his family of a home.

WT The following we take from that
sprightly paper called the american Nesos-
paper Reporter. 1t is one of the best OF
our exchanges, and contains many quaint
and rare things, as the following shows:
The following advertisement was pub
lished in the London Times
"Companion Wanted.-P. u. received
over five hundred advertisement for CON-
panion to their only daughter. They
answered the first hundred or more, and
then gave it up as endless. and mus: ask
the remainder to accept this as an answer
and apology. They have not succeeded in
obtaining what is needed, owing to tie
want of decision and dcfiniteness on the
question of religion. The applicant (mem-
Der of the Church of England) must give
q good, clear and decided reason for the
hope that is in her, that she is true
child of God; her age under thirty five.
She must write her own letter, but retain
her testimonials until asked. 1t would be
helpful if the candidate would enclose her
photograph, which will be returned. Pray
do not answer unless you can meet the
above requirements.-P. |. H., Post-office,
Reading"
Even the most reckless advertisers know
how to be polite. A West Virginia man
has published an advertisement in tn,
only paper in his town, which reads " II
the lady who has been using my coal FOR
the past few months will please call upon
the next neighbor for her future supply,
she will much oblige, as my stock is about
exhausted"
The following is what is called a blind
or a trade advertisement:
"A London paper states that party OF
ten undertakers went to the Derby race up
on hearse drawn by four blask horses. '
Germans clearly take the palm in ex'
centric advertising. A German who lately
lost his horse published the following
notice:
"Rund away, sdoler, or vas sdrayd-
mine plack horse, about 8 hands HE. h.
had four plack legs, two pehind and
two before he is plack all over his pody
but he has got some white spots upon hi,
pack where the skin vas rubbed oft, but
greesed 'em, and the vite spots is all plack
again. He trods and kanders, and some
dimes he walks and when he walks, al
his feet goes on Won after al oder. He has
two ears pom his head, poth alike, put vo'
is placker dan toder and a small bit longer
He has two eyes; Won is put out, ano
todcr is upon the side of his head and
when you go toder side he won't see you
When he eats good deal, he has pig pelly
He has long dali, dat hangs pehind, put
cut it short toder day, and now it is no
so long as it vas. He was shoed all round
put his pehind shoes coined off. and now
he has got on shoes only pefore."
Here is a goo6 advertisement for th'
Chicago Tribune
The Chicago Tribune asks and receives
twenty-six thousand dollars for a column
of advertisements a year. The business
men of Chicago are keen to pay it. There
is one house in Cincinnati that pays fou,
thousand dollars weekly for advertising
There are several in Cleveland, even, who
pay as high as ten thousand year. Some
how these men don't break up; liberia
advertiser neuer does"

that the lady was at least four miles from

great that she could only pull the valve
