A PAPER THAT Is BouND TO Cove are glad
to announce that through Mr.. John H. Reed, of
this city. our citizens will have opportunity OF
examining the Peoples Monthly, an illustrated
twenty p&ge paper for the home. Even III tn ese
hard times, it goes like wild ire. This is owing
not only to the genuine merit and attractions oil
the paper itself but to the surprising beauty Of
the chromos that go with it. They are no little
shabby, wretched daubs, but are made for this
paper exclusively, hy the very best chrom
makers in the country, and take on sight. They
Just sweep whole communities and are good
enough for the best parlor When the agent r
call give them hearing, and you'll not regret it.
The general evidence OF the merit of the Paper
is shown by the fact that at least eight out Of
ten subscribers renew.

The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1873-01-09

Whitelaw Reid, who has purchas-
ed the controlling stock of the New
York Tribune, was born in the small
village of Cedarville, Greene county,
Ohio, in 1888. His parents were
poor but respectable. His education
was somewhat limited. He began
his career as a pedagogue, but soon
deserted the calling for more congen-
ial pursuits. He first appeared as an
editor on the Xenia CO., News, since
merged into what is now the Xenia
Torchlight. He afterward became
Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, and won consid-
erable reputation. At the breaking
out of the erebellion he acted as warcor-
respondent for the same journal, and
penned some of the most vivid and
thrilling battle descriptions ever writ
ten. About three years since he was
appointed assistant editorial mana
ger of the New York Tribune, which
position he held until the nomination
of Horace Greeley at Cincinnati,
when he was promoted to editor-in-
chief. Mr.. Reid is thirty-four years
of age, and is still a bachelor

Reasons Why American WO-
men are Delicate.

Another reason of the delicacy of
our women is the far greater style
affected by all classes in dress, and
the wearing of corsets during early
youth. Naturally, if one has attain
ed a full and fine physical develop
ment, tight corsets, heavy skirts,
close-ftting boots and weighty CHG
mons can not injure to the same ex-
tent as when those appliances of fash
ion are placed upon the soft and
yielding muscles ofa young and grow
ing girl. The noble ladies of En-
gland exercise many hours daily in
the open air. They do not disdain
to don heavy calf-skin shoes and col
ored petticoats in which to perform
this duty. This, of course, would
not alone make them as healthy as
they are, were not their constitutions
strengthened by proper physical
education before they are eighteen
years of age, but it sufices to retain
them in a good degree of health.
Our fair Americans early in the day
attire themselves in charming morn
ing costumes, with white skirts, and
then they are averse to soiling these
by exercise, and the least dampness
deters them from a promenade.
American ladies think far more OF
dress and fashion, and spend more
time on their toilets, than any women
in Europe, not even excepting the
French, from whom all our fashions
come Galaxy.

Does Protection Protect?

Here are some more interesting
problems, which are respectfully sub
mitted for the solution of those re-
markable American politico-econo-
mists who profess to doubt whether
Protection does really protect. Com
ing from a Free-Trade source they
will perhaps deign to give them at
tention. A certain wealthy English
manufacturer, a Mr.. Brassy, has just
published an essay on 'EWork and
Wages" embodying the results of his
own observation during the past sew
eral years. Among other things he
shows that production in the United
States is actually cheaper than in En-
gland, because the higher cost of la
Dor leads to greater inventiveness
The ironmasters of this country, he
states, are able to make cast iron
wheels that Will stand an amount of
wear and tear which even wrought
iron wheels in England can hardly
endure. A rain water pipe here will
often be scarcely more than an eighth
of an inch thick, while in England it
would be five times that thickness.
In the hardware trade, an American
workman can earn double the wages
of an English workman, but labor
saving appliances have been brought
to such perfection that in twenty-five
classes of hardware goods, the United
States are able to export largely to
countries in which the pay of artisans
is hardly more than one-fourth of the
wages paid here. Coming, as it does,
from an intelligent national and com
merclal rival of our own manufacture
ers, this testimony to the merits OF
