Newspapers. y

The United States is the country, par
excellence. for newspapers. and their
number is legion, almost every village
having its local press. In the West they
start a newspaper when they build the
first church and first schoo-house, and
plant their first cornlield. This nation
al trait was fully illustrated as far
back as ;he Mexican war, when news
papers were established wherever our
army penetrated, for there were plenty
Of men in the ranks who could handle
the rifle and the composing stick with

General Scott, on one occasion, when
he wished to have proclamation set

One WAY to Get Rich,

A fine way for women to get rich is
amply illustrated by Mrs. Wood,
some W here in Ohio. Her husband is
an awful drunkard, in fact, drinks like
n fish. and she, to get revenge out of his
idolatry to the glass, sues the liquor
vendors. So far she has made $4,000
out of the game. and her husband keeps
on in his wickcdness.

a Deadly Calling.

The imported imitation leaves which
ornament the fashionable bonncts of
the day are manufactured by the chem
ical use of certain deadly poisons, to ac-
compli,h which Young girls and chill

cessitous and doomed creatures are al
most sure to loose their sight if long oc-
cupied in the fearful business. and not
un'rcquently die suddenly from the
