THE LAST.

RESI-
This is the last of The Press We wish
to state our experience as briefly as posi-.
BILE, SO that there may be no misunder.
standing.
| We made two mistakes when we began
this paper; in our estimate of the prosperi.
ty, of the county, and in estimate of the
amount of Democratic support we would
receive. We did so; we have. in doing
so, run into debt, which it will take labor
elsewhere to pay off; We have given the
paper thorough trial, and the result is
that we find there are large number Of
Democrats throughout the county who
prefer to give their subscriptions and ad-
,vertising patronage to Republican paper
We don't object to this; every man has a
right to patronize what suits him. We
only mention it as fact; and we bear
testimony to the fact that a Democratic
paper will not be supported here, and hope
that no other foolish printer will waste his
time in renewing our experiment. ss
1t was qualification to US to be given
the county printing; but that printing is
not of the value that many seem to suppose.
The county has not much printin: to be
done now; and with county scrip almost
valueless, it is not worth much. 1t would
be of assistance, in connection with gener-
al and hearty support of the paper among
Democrats with sueh a support, the paper
could be continued; but it cannot be got.
The Press did its duty at election time.
1t tried to help some who did no. try to
help it. 1t can say ~ have fought good
fight; have ke.t the faith"
We withdraw from the county cheerIully f;
we willingly surrender to others all our
interests in the benefits of the big ditch !;
and trusting that all the people of Trinity
may soon enjoy more prosperous times we
bid one and all a kind good by-Trinity
Press, Dec. 18th 1871.
In noticing the commencement of the
Press at Weaverville over a year ago, we in
dicated that it would prove failure and that
its publisher would find himself involved in
financial embarrassment. The idea of
many of the Democrats of Trinity was
that when the Press obtained the County
printing it could live easy enough, but pub
fishers of papers in mountain counties are
well aware that the profits of county prin.-
ing, after deductng cost of material. is not
much of an OBJECT. and is merely drop in
the bucket-towards making up the revenue
necessary to sustain decent paper
The Journal, the old established paper of
Trinity, has absorbed the materials on
which the Press was printed, and pursues
the even tenor of its way

PACKING BUTTER.-A Michigan dairy
man has lately published his method of
packing butter. He has oaken tubs, with
heads at each end. They are fourteen
inches in diameter at the top, nine inches
at the bottom and sixteen inches high.
In packing, cambria bag is made to fit
the tub. The butter is packed in the tub
as it stands on the small end-the sack
being long enough to extend above the
edges of the tub-anda is pressed down
firmly until within an inch and half of
the top, when circular cloth is laid over
it, the edges of the sack turned down over
that, and layer of fine salt placed on it.
7 he head is now put in ITS place, the tub
turned UP, and the butter in the sack, of
course falling down to the bottom, leaves a
space all around it, which is filled with
brine, poured through hole in the small
end. When full the hole is corked up
tight. The butter floats in the brine and
is effectually preserved.

PRESIDENT GRANT AND SECTARIAN
SECTs.-1h he Boston Pilot (Catholic)
vouches for the truth of letter published
in its columns which reflects great credit
on General Grant. 1t seems that a deputa-
tion of super serviceable zealots called on
the President to persuade him into the
dismissal of revenue official, on the ground
that he was an Irshman and Roman
Catholic. The President listened to their
story, and the writer in the Pilot tells the
conclusion in this way:
IL understand that" said the President,
after few long draws at his cigar "but
| don't see what a mans religion or nation-
ality has to do with faithiul performance
of his official duties Gentlemen. had
you been with me at Vicksburg, and in
the battles of the Wilderness, where regi-
ments and divisions, composed almost en-
tirely of Irish Catholic soldiers, were fight
ing bravely, and falling dead and wounded
by hundreds and thousands in defense
of our cause don't suppose you
would have urged their discharge on the
ground that they were Irishmen and
Catholics Neither can | listen to pro.
posal to turn a faithful clerk out of Office
for such cause, particularly, gentlemen,
when know that this same clerk saved
his colors from falling into the enemy S
hands at the risk of his life, on our march
to Richmond-in fact, | know all about
him, for he was one of my soldiers, and
deserves we'll of his country"

TO GET ALONG.

After all the talk about workingmens'
associations, combining labor against CAPT.
tai, and other like matters, the fact remains
that all success in trade or labor must be
secured by inaividualssxertiou. In. this
country every healthy man can get along
who is willing to work and unwilling to
squander his earnings in grog-shops,
billiard saloons, aud other dens of vice. If
wages were double what they are now,
and dlys work limited to six hours, no
benefit would result to workmen who waste
their time and substance at the alehouse,
or among associates ever ready to take
advantage of them. John Jacob Astor,
A. T. Stewart, George Law, Martin Kalb,
feisch, and nearly all successful men who
have built up fortunes, began by laying by,
weekly, a little capital. They did not
spend all their earnings They did not
run to every catchpenny show, or travel
ing circus, or baboon exhibition. They
did not go. on Sunday sprees, and begin
each successive week penuiless On the
contrary, after making little money they
found that it would help to make itself by
additions OF interest. At length they had
capital-a start-and then by prudence,
skill and energy, they went ahead. De-
pend upon it, every man must, in a sense,
be seifuade. Others cannot make him
unless he will take the first part of the
work. @sif @

FIGHT YOUR WAY UP.

Tho many who have to take the world
rough and tumble are prone to envy those
who roll through it in cushioned vehicles
on patent. springs. The toiler, as he
,,umbles through its thorny thickets, and
climbs over its foot blisterlng gravel, is apt
to curse the luck that placed him on such
a hard road, and to sigh for seat in enc
of the splendid equipages that glide SO
smoothly over Fortunes macadamized turn
pike. Bora with pewter spoon in his
mouth, be covets the silver one which is
thss birth gift of his donothing neighbor.
The more fo1l he Occupation is the sim
mediate jewel" of life 1t is true that
riches are no bar to exertiou-quite the
reverse when their use is properly under
stood. But the discoutented worker, who
pines for wealth without being willing to
worker for it, regards the idleness in which
it would enable him TO live as the acme of
temporal happiness.
We have no sympathy with sensuous
longnes. People who indulge in them
never acquire wealth. They lack the
energy to break their way to the worldly
Independence for which they yearn and
whine. They don't know how much
more glorious it is to tear affluence from
opposing fate by main strength OF will and
inaexibility Of purpose, than to receive it
as windiall. There is infinitely more
satisfaction in conquering fortune with
brain and muscle then was ever experlen-
ced by s'lucky heir" obtaining golden
store that some thriftier haud had accu-
mulated. Your accidental Cresus knows
nothing of the pride of success-of the
earnest exultation with which the selfmade
man locks back upon the impediments he
has overcome, and forward into the fair
future which he has earned a right to en-
JOY.

JUST QUESTION OR TWO.

OF the innumerable questions which
printers are called upon to answer, the fol
lowing are the most sensible:
Do you print on both sides of the paper
at once?
How long does it take to make news
paper
Spose you write everything you print,
don't you?
Why are these boxes of different sizes,
and bow do you koow where to find :. GER
tain letter?
Can't you print picture of anything
you want to ?-I should think you could
Why can't you?
(Afler printing some horse bills for a
man not long ago, he found fault with
them because the ''cut'' was not just like
his horse. On another occasion, a gentle
man came to us with the Information that
he had left his horse in front of the Off
and he wanted picture of it taken and
some bills printed
If you print 100 bills for So | suppose
you will let me have four for II cents
l should think it would be just fun to
be an editor-you don't do anything but
sit down and read newspapers and stories
all day!
Do you throw your type away. after you
have printed upon it once?
You don't care if take handful Of
this type, do you?
1t can't be very hard work to set type
all day--is it, now
Would it do any harm if l should knock
this down 2? You could easily pick it up
again-you are printer.
Gap't l help you print something?
wish you would print my name for me;
it wouldn't be much trouble to print of
just one name.
Vi hat is this for what do you do with
that ? what do you do with that? what
makes that lock so funny? what are you
going to do now !? what for? why? what
makes you keep SO still you don't care if
fellow just talks, do you?
By the time man goes through with
this list of questions his company becomes
SO monotonous that he can't possibly fail
to perceive its effects upon his listeners,
and he walks off with the impression that
we have treated hiui uukindly and impolite-

THE SENSE OF GuILT.-The atheist
may speculate, and go on speculating till
he is brought up by annihilation he may
then return to life, and reason away the
difference between good and evil; he may
even 90 further, and imagine to himself
the perpetration of the most atrocious
acts; and still he may eat his bread with
relish, and sleep scundly in his bed for
his sins, wanting, as it were, substance,
having no actual solidity to leave their
traces in his memory, all future retribu-
ton may ssem to him thing with which,
in any case, he can have no concern. -
But let him once turn his theory into prac-
tice, let him make crime palpable, in an
instant he feels its hot impress upon
his soul Then it is that what may happen
beyond the grave becomes no matter of
Indifference; and, though his reason may
seem to have proved that death is a final
end, then comes the question. What does
the reason know of death ? Then, last OF
all, the little word IF, swelling to fearful
SIZE, and standing at the outlet of his the
ories, like relentless giant, ready to de
molish his conclusions -ALLsToN.-

WHY DO CHILDREN DIE Pin answer
to this question, the Medical Recorder
holds the following language: "The reason
children die is because they are not taken
care of. From the day of birth they are
stuffed with water, suffocated in hot rooms
and steamed in bed clothes. So much for
indoor. When permitted to breathe a
breath OF pure air once week in summer,
and once. or twice during the colder
months, only the nose is permitted to peer
into daylight. A little later they are sent
out with no clothes at all on the parts of
the body which most need protection.
Bare legs. bare arms, bare neck, eirted
middles. with an inverted umbrella to COL
lect the air and chill the other parts of
the body. a stout, strong man goes out
on cold day with gloves and over coat,
wooden stockings, and thick, double -soled
boots, with cork between ana rubbers over
The same day child of three years old,
an infant of flesh and blood, bone and con-
stitution, goes out with shoes as thin as
paper, cotton socks, legs uncovered to the
knees, neck bare, an exposure that would
disable the nurse. kill the mother outright,
and make the father an invalid for weeks.
And why To harden them to mode of
dress which they are not expected to prac
tice. To accustom them to exposure which
a dozen years later would be considered
downright foolery. TO rear children thus
for the slaughter pen, and then lay it to
the Lord, is too bad. We don't think the
Almighty had any hand in it.

The great trouble among American
youth is the lack of application and
thoroughness in what they undertake.
Anything that cannot be learned by super
fetal study is given the go-by for somethi' g
less tedious and irksome. Study aud hard
labor are looked at from a wrong stand
point; and as a consequence the clerkship
ranks are full of unemployed young men,
and the professions are overfowing with
mediocrity. while good mechanics find
plenty of work at living prices. The evil
spoken of is seriously felt. And those
who work at trade do it in so loose and
careless a manner that they often are not
competent to do the work they promise to
do

LAND SPEcuLAT1oN.-A San Fraucisc

LAND SpEcULATIoN.-ASa San Francisco
speculator, about six weeks ago, bought OF
the State, at 37s cents per acre. $4,000
scres of swamp land, located on the borders
of Tulare Lake Last week he sold it to
an English company for So per acre, thus
netting over 100000 by the operation in
six weeks, upon an investment of less than
$4,000. The State in reality gets moth
ing from these lands But twenty cents
per acre has been paid into the Swamp
Land Fund, but this will be returned
when the work of reclamation begins.
The English capitalists will run levee
along the lake, and cut a short canalto the
San joaquin river, by which the whole
tract can be we'll and easily drained. By
the time this is done they will probably be
able to sell the land for from S25 to $50
per acre.
