Mr.. Henry George has lately resumed
the control of the San Francisco Erenino
Post. the pluokiest and most promising
venture we have lately seen in the way
OF penny paper. It already has
large circulation, and fairly expresses the
popular voice in California by being an
outspoken advocate of the Cincinnati
ticket. One of it's late numbers has this
poser IN answer to the complaints made
by unsuccessful editors in New York
concerning Mr.. Greeley's lack of bust.
ness capacity: "Greeley, we hear from
the Republican organs, and from the
Democratic newspapers which are now
assisting them, is good old man, but SO
variable In his opinions thatphe hardly
knows in the morning what he will be-
lleve at night; 30 good natured that he is
the coniiding tool of every schemer who
gets access to him; so vain that he will
swallow any hook which is baited with a
little fiattery; and of such child-like
honesty himself, that it is utterly impos-
sible for him to tell an honest man from
knave; in short, they paint the editor
OF the greatest newspaper in the United
States as benevolent old idiot. The
answer to all this is Greeley himself.
When poor boy, starting without any
OF the advantages OF education. family,
friends. or even of the graces of manner
and address. works himself up to the DO

almost generation-when starting with

successful newspaper as the Tribune, it

Round 20 do a fun pays Work.

Mr.. NJ, of Oxford, doesn't object to hav-
ing hired man do a full llday' swork-at least,
so we judge from the following story:
A short time ago man went to his place for
work. Mr.. NJ. set him plowing round forty
acre field After he had plowed faithfully
all day until tho sun was about half an hour
high, he expressed the opinion that it was
about time to quit
.'Oh no." replied Mr.. NJ, ''you can plow
around six or eight times more just as well as
not"
So the hired man plowed round six or eight
times, then went to the house, took care of
his team, MIXED nine cows ate his supper
and found ten o'clock staring him in the face
from the old time-piece.
Said the hired man to Mrs. NJ, ''where is
Mr.. NJ. p
The good woman answered ''He hasretired.
Do you wish to see him.
He replied that he did. After being con-
Quoted to the bed room he said:
"Mr. NJ, where is the aXe?"
''Why," said Mr.. NJ, ''what do you want
with the aXe?"
''Well" said the hired man, 81 thought you
might like me to split some wood till break

Support Your EEOme Newspaper.

This is the season of the year when the
large city newspaper and ma gazine publishers
are sending out their prospectuses into the
country, and every post office is flooded with
''great inducements" to subscribe for this and
that periodical. This is all right, provided
you do not lose sight of the fact that you have
a newspaper nearer your own door that is a
hundred times more closely identified with
your prosperity, and more sincerely interested
in the welfare of your own neighborhood and
county, than all the city publications combined.
A cotemporary says on the subject: Do the
city papers say anything in regard to your
own county? Nothing. Do they contain
notices of your schools, churches, meetings,
improvements and hundreds of other local
matters of interest, which the county papers
publish without pay? Not an item. Do they
ever say word calculated to draw attention
to our county and its numerous thriving towns
and aid in their progress and enterprise? ? Not
q line. Andyet there are men who take such
contracted views of this matter that unless
they are getting as many square inches of
reading matter in their county paper as they
do in city paper, they think they are not
getting the worth of their money. 1t reminds
us of the person who took the largest pair of
boots in the box because they cost the same
as pair much smaller which fit.-Er.

Handwriting

Many people laugh at what is called ''grap-
tomancy," or the art of judging characters by
handwriting; and yet all acknowledge that
handwriting does indicate something. Every
one allows difference between a mans and
a woman's hand; we hear people speak of a
vulgar hand, gentlemanly hand, sc. 81
had once" said Archbishop Whately, ga re-
markable proof that handwriting is some
times, at least, an index to character. had
a pupil at Oxford whom liked in most res
poets greatly; there was but one thing about
him which seriously dissatisfied me, and that,
as often told him, was his hand writing; it
was not bad as writing, but it had mean,
shuffling character in it, which always in
spired me with feeling of suspicion. While
he remained at Oxford l saw nothing to
justify this suspicion; but a transaction in
which he was afterwards engaged, and in
which saw more ofhis character than had
done before, convinced me that the writing
had spoken truly.
''But l know of a much more curious case,
in which celebrated 'graptomancer' was
able to judge of character more correctly by
handwriting than he had been able to do by
personal observation. He was on visit to a
friends house, where, among other guests, he
met a lady whose conversation and manners
greatly struck him, and for whom he con-
ceiveda strong friendship, based on the es-
pure minded, and single-hearted woman. The
lady of the house, who knew her real charac-
ter to be the very reverse ofwhat she seemed,
was curious to know whether Mr.--would
be able to discover this by her handwriting.
Accordingly she procured a slip of this lady
writing, having gascertainedh ne had never seen
it, and gave it to him one evening as the
hadwriting of a friend of hers whose charac-
ter she wished him to decipher.
His usual habit, when he undertook to ex-
ercise this power, was to take slip of a let
ter, cut down lengthwise so as not to show
any sentences, to his room at night, and to
bring it down with his judgment in writing
next morning. On this occasion when the
party wore seated at the breakfast table, the
lady whose writing he had been unconciously
examining, made some observation
which particularly struck Mr.--as seeming
to betoken very noble and truthful charac-
ter. He expressed his admiration of her
sentiments very warmly, adding at the same
time to the lady of the house, Not SO, blythe
way, your friend;' and he put into her hand
the slip of writing of her guest which she had
given him the evening before, over which he
had written the words Fascinating, false, and
hollow-hearted' Mhe lady of the house kept
the secret, and Mr.-never knew that the
writing on which he had pronounced so Sc
we're Judgment was that of the friend he so
greatly admired"

CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE.

Among other important matters which
come up before the present Legislature of
California for action, is a new civil code for
the State, which Commission similar to that
appointed by the Sixth Legislative Assembly
of Montana, has been at work on for the past
year. A copy of the proposed code having
been sent to David Dudley Field, who has had
so much to do with the codes of New York, that
eminent lawyer returns to the commission the
following tlattering endorsement of its labors.
1t will doubtless be of interest to our law
makers, now assembled at Virginia, who will
soon have the code of Montana before them
for deliberation and disposal:
New YORK, November 10, 1871.
Gentlemen The proposed civil code of
California which you were good enough to
send me few days ago, has been examined
with great attention. In so far as it follows
ours, am grateful for your good opinion;
so far as it adds to ours, think it worthy of
great commendation. The new portions, es-
pecially the provision about the rights of hus-
band and wife, about corporations, home
steads and mines, show great labor and care
in their preparation. The penal code, though
less important work, and containing less

able consideration. ...- .....,.r'y
My views of codification in general of the
five codes prepared for New York in particu-
lar were SO fully expressed in my letter to you
and other members of the California bar,
dated the 28th of November, 1870, that can
add nothing. In respect to the codes you
propose must say that I am firmly impressed
with the belief that no single measure would
do so much to oimproveyour law, remove those
parts which are obsolete, useless or hurtful,
add new and important provisions, and bring
them into harmony with the rest, as the adop-
ton by your Legislature ofthe work you pre-
sent to them after SO much painstaking and
skillful labor. By its adoption the profession
and the public will have systematic body of
law consistent with itself, in harmony with
our age and capable of safe and easy amend
ment and expansion. Most heartily do con-
gratulate you and your staff on the compile
ton of the great work, and trust that the
Legislature will speedily enact it into law,
thus taking the lead of the other States and
making California the virtual lawgiver of
them all. Very truly yours. ..

Old Maids.

A quaint and gallant waiter of some fifty
years ago, says: II love an old maid-I do
not speak of an individual, but of the species
Il use the singular number, as speaking of a
singularity in humanity. An old maid is not
merely an antiquarian, she is an antiquity;
not merely record of the past, but the very
past itself; she has escaped great change,
and sympathises not in the ordinary mutations
of mortality. she inhabits little eternity
of her own. She is Miss from the beginning
of the chapter to the end. do not like to
hear them called Mistress, as is sometimes the
practice, for that looks and sounds like the
resignation of dispair, q voluntary extinction
of hope. I do not know wheather marriages
are made in heaven; some people say they
are, but | am almost sure old maids are.
There is something about them which is not
of the earth, earthly. They are spectators of
the world, not adyenturers nor ramblers; per-
haps guardians; we say nothing of tattlers.
They are evidently predestinated to be what
they are. They owe not the singularity of
their condition to any lack of beauty, wis
dom, wit or good temper; there is no account
ing for it but on the principle of fatality. l
have known many old maids, and of them all,
not one thai has not possessed as many good
and amiable qualities as ninety and nine out
of hundred of my married acquaintance.
Why, then, are they single? 1t is their fate!"
