People who want newspapers should
send to the news-stands. We don't Oh
iect to giving any one or half a dozen.
men any papers We have, but we now

call at an editors room to get a newspa-
per. 1t is not the place.
Our reporter, who deals with the
spirits, evidently views the questions in

properly before his eyes.

reference to the country about Pike
Peak. Our correspondents who would
see the country and its wonders, with

vice in photography by which the head
or other figure has the appearance OF be
ing entirely surrounded by the atmos-
phere. This effect is obtained by sur
rounding the photograph with a mirror,

pretty faces are delighted with it.
