TIE VALUE OF A NEwspArER.--The
following is the experience of mechanic
concerning the benefit of newspaper.
Ten years ago l lived in town in In
diana. On returning home one night, for
l am carpenter by trade, | saw little
girl leave my door, and asked my wife
who she was, She said Mrs. Harris had
sent her after their newspaper, which my
wife had borrowed. AS we sat down to
tea my wife said to me, by name:
81 wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper; it is so much comfort to me
when you are away from home"
81 would like to do so.' said | " but
you know | owe payment on the house
and lot, 1t will be all can do to meet
it,"
She replied: If you will take this
paper, | will sew for the tailor to pay for
l subscribed for the paper; it came in
due time for the shop. While resting
one noon and looking over it, l saw an
advertisement Of the County Commission
ers to let bridge that was to be built.
I put in bid for the bridge, and the job
was awarded to me, on which l cleared
$500, which enabled me to pay for my
house and lot easily, and for the news
paper. If | had not subscribed for the
newspaper l should not have known any
thing about the contract, and could not
have met my payment on my house and lot.
A mechanic never loses anything by TAX
ing newspaper.

mental surroundings. The school of the
Christian Brothers under the direction of
the Franciscans is also charity school.
The Lawlor Institute both for males
and females is a private establishment
and largely attended Beside these there
are eight public schools regulated by
city board Of school trustees.
There is county hospital managed BY
the Sisters of Charity and Maison de
Sanite of the French Benevolent Society
both located in the city.
The city is provided with three first
class hotels, and her manufacturing es-
adjustments are as follows foundry one,
machine shop one, plauing mills two.
soap factory one, brewery one, ice factory
one, which affords an important luxury to
the citizens of this locality so far removed
from the ice regions Of the Sierra Neva.
das Beside its climate, healthfulness,
soil, churches, hotels and schools, there
is power over all-the Press.
In San Diego there are two newspapers
Of influence and circulation. The Union
edited by Douglas Gum who does some
heavy corresponding in defense Of the
city from whence his paper derives Its
name all but the sir.
The San Diego Union has circulation
Of one thusand daily and the weekly
about the same. This paper is the every
day mirror of fact, fancy, hope and ener-
gy. The World is the name of straight.
out organ of the democracy of San Diego.
1t has circulation of 800 daily and 400
weekly. Santa Barbara has two daily
papers the Press and Times. Both have
first.class power presses and large circula-
tions. When it is borne in mind that
Santa Barbara is not as large as Middle.
bury where there is but one weekly, it
suggests difference in the pluck and
energy of the people ia different localities.
Los Angeles has two enterprising dailies
each with circulation of 700 and with
fourishing weeklies. The Express is a
dignifcd Republican paper Of power and
influence. The Star is the oldest paper
in Southern California and is now indie.
pendent in politics. The Cronica is q
Spanish paper published semi-weekly.
The Mirror is a bright multum IN parro
affair gratuitously circulated every Satur-
day morning. With this subject the
Press, we will press our letter to close
as we do not intend to tell you everything
until some future time. After an ab.
sence Of four weeks from home, wife and
baby. We return on the next upward
bound steamer. Very soon thereafter
Mr.. S. aud his numerous family will start
for the East where he will spend few
weeks rusticating amid the green hills OF
Vermont.

The true girl to be sought for, She
does not parade herself as show goods,
She is not fashionable. Generally she is
not rich. But oh what heart she has
when you find ber so large, so ure, so
womanly! When you see it you wonder
if those snowy things outside were really
women If you gain her love, your two
thousand are million. She will not ask
you for carriage or first class house.
She'll wear simple dresses, and turn them
when necessary, though vulgar magnih'
cence frowns on her economy. She will
keep everything neat and nice in your

when you come home that you'll think
your parlor higher than ever. She'll en-
tertain true friends on a dollar, and as
tonish you with the new thought, how

Well, there is no clock really there
