Its stories are excellent, its fashion
plates magnificent and its premium
list superb. The subscriber can have
his choice Of either of the chromos-

he is satisfied that the sum of $4,000
would not be an excessive estimate at
which to base his portion.
SCARCELY, VAN!-The Register Of
last week says:
"Sheriff Parker started for San Fran
cisco, on Sunday, for the purpose Of az
resting and bringing back for trial,
Charley Brown, tile man who got away
with pair ofhorses and buggy belong
ing to Bartges & Merrick, year or
more since, was caught, brought back
to this city, broke Jail and made good
his escape. News reached the Sheriff
that Brown was in San Francisco. If
Brown is caught and returned here, the
expenses attendant upon his trial, etc,
will foot up two or three thousand dol
lars.u
Havn't you magnined this matter
considerably, neighbor? In this case
there are only two witnesses, both OF
whom are residents of this city. The
trial cannot reasonably occupy more
than day, and will not cost the coun-
ty to exceed one hundred dollars. OF
course the State pays the cost of the
trip toSSan Francisco afterthe accused.
We think you scarcely gave this mat
ter full consideration when you enun-
ciated the statement that it would cost
two or three thousand dollars.

WHAT NEWSPAPERS DO FOR NoTH-
1NG.-An exchange, speaking of news
papers and what is expected of them,
very forCibly remarks that "there is
no business in this wide world so SUBJ
ject to sponging as the art or trade of
printing newspaper. Public corpora
tions, societies, and associations in
general have peculiar ideas about pa
pers. They think they ought to print,
puff and publish all for nothing; that is
free gratis" In other words they
seem astonished if asked half price for
cards of thanks, tributes of respect,
personal communications ETC., which
only interest few persons, and not
the general reader. They think it
costs no money to advertise, puff, etc,
and thus one and another will sponge,
They forget it takes money to pay
compositors, to buy ink, type and pa
per; and lastly, they even forget to
thank you for graciously putting their
business or serving the public.

Riding Backwards or Forwards.

The recent royal uphcaval in England
consequent upon the unhappy differ
cnccs of opinion between the Queen and
her d:l,,sltcr-i law, seems to have
begun with tho slight. shaking up ex-
perienced by the royal and imperial
parties. when they first went out to-
gether> for drive. The Queen and the
Princess Of Wales sat themselves posi-
lively down in the back scat of the car
riagc, and Alexandrovna and Alfred
were therefore obligelto put themselves
into u scat which left them with their
backs TO the horses. The Russian
Princess bore up under the appalling
condition of affairs until the drive was
over, when :,hc informed her royal
mot lcr-in-law that she would never
ag:,in ride Oh the front scat of a car
riagc. "scmcmber," said she (and
here her proud lips probably "curled
in scorn that I am the daughter OF
tho greatest sovereign on eartl-the
Car of Russia" The Queen rctorted,
" acknowledge no earthly sovereign
as my superior" This closed the con-
versation; and subsequently came the
sensation occasioncd by the absence of
the Cars daughter from the Queens
drawing room. According to the recent
settlement of the question Of the fair
Russians position, she must continue
to ride backwards when she goes out
will, the Queen, unless Alfred puts an
other board into the vehicle. But even
then u problem would como up. Tho
Queen would not want to look at her
daughtcr-in-l laws back. Perhaps Rus
sin ind England hal better 60 to war ut
once. -L,Ou;Ypiiic CDuricr-.JOuyu0L.
