JUDGE GOODRICH, of St. Paul, had

as the discoverer of this land where
liberty and scandal flourish. Prof.
Anderson, Of the Wisconsin State

FORTUNES IN SMALL WAYS.

A New York correspondent
writes:
One can count on his ten fingers
the heavy merchants that have
stood unmoved during quarter of
ii century The heaviest houses
topple down and the richest men
pass out of sight. But q ere is a
class of men who maintain unin-
terrup ed prosperity These are
the men VINO began small; had a
speciality, always Ia the exact ar
ticie they proiessed, kept grabbing
on from year TO year, and waited
for fortune till she chose 10 appear.
One of the heaviest paper houses
in New York was begun by a man
wha was a rag picker. He began in
the smallest possible way. When
he had only a small basket full he
assorted them fairly and honestly.
He soon got the confidence Of the
trade. His rags were always the
quality represented and he walked
over the course, always making
pios. Soo- al W lyo utuhtbS iiiOuty.
In his immense warehouse to-day
buyers are sure to find when they
get home the exact article they
purchased. Some years ago a man
set up little cigar store. His spe-
ciaIty was that he would not keep
domestic cigar on his Shelves
The article that he sold WAS inva-
riably good, and he made for
tune. There are half dozen old
caterers in New York. They are
fifty and sixty years old. Two or
three of them are in cellars or in
small rooms. The floor is sanded;
the seats are without backs the
tables are without cloths; the head
of the house waits on his custo-
mers. Every aing about the room
is just as it was thirty years ago.
In these little rooms from II 30 2
one cannot stand the crowd. The
first merchants in New York fiji
the place. Chops, beefsteaks, ham
and English mutton are speciali-
ties The man who waits on these
clerks and merchants could buy a
house on Fifth avenue and live in
it if he wanted 90.

NICE A GIRL

Though that class Is by no
means extinct, still they are not so
numerous Is might be wished.
There is nothing half so sweet in
life, half 30 beautiful or delightful
or SO loveable as nice girl. Not
pretty or a daShing girl, but mic
girl. One of those lovely, lively.
good natured, sweet faced, anna
BILE, neat, natty, domestic creatures
met within the sphere of home :"
difusing around the influence Of
her goodness, like the essence of
sweet flowers.
A nice girl il not the anguish
ing beauty, dawdling on sofa
and discussing the last novel or
opera, or the giraffe-like creature
sweeping majestically through the
drawingroom. The nice girl NAV
not even play or dance well, and
knows nothing about using her
eyes or coquetting with a fan. She
never languishes, she is too active.
She is not given TO sensation nov
els, she is too busy. In public she
is not in front showing her shoul
ders; she sits quiet and unobtru
sive at he back fthe crowd most
likely. In fact. it is not often we
discover her. Home is her place.
Who rises betimes and superin-
tends the morning meal? Who
makes the toast and tea, and but
tons the boys shirts, and feeds the
chickens, and brightens up the
parlor and si,ting-room? Is it the
laDguisher. or the giraffe, or the
elegante! Not bit of it, it's the
nice girl.
Her maiden toilet is made in
the shortest possible time: yet how
charmingly it IS done, and how
elegant and neat her dress and
collar. Not presenting her cheek
or brow like fine irl," but
an audible smack. which says
plainly, II love you ever so much.
If you c0vet anything, it's one of

--------------------
THE CAPITAL 0U EATNDN

The Wheeling Intelligencer Of
Friday last, contained a well-writ
ten editorial on this subject. 1t
takes the ground that if the men
elected to the Legislature, desire to
subserve the best interests of the
people, the capital will be speedily
removed TO some accessible place
If they are animated by selfish in
terests and desire the question to
be kept on hand for trading and
bartering purposes, it will not be
removed. We agree with the In
telligencer, and assert farther that
it has only been it's trading quail
ties, for the attainment of personal
and corrupt ends, that has pre-
vented removal. All Legislation
and all appropriations have hereto
fore, been regulated and guided so
as to keep the capital at Charles
ton.
In this end of the State there is
growing demand on the part of
the people for an immediate change
We venture the assertion that in
this county and in Morgan nine
tenths of the people, irrespective of
party, viii sign petition for re-
moval. We go farther and assert
that Senator Custom, in his own
county, is without a corporal's
guard of constituents endorsing his
course on this question. In this
county, no man can be elected
known to be opposed to removal !;
hence it was, that, during the recent
campaign, free as it was from all
political bias, all candidates in
Berkeley county, in conversation
with Democrats and Republicans,
unequivocally favored removal. We
know whereof we speak. Itwould
be political suicide for Berkeley
man to do otherwise. What rea-
son can be given for retaining
the Capitol at Charleston -? None.
How will it benefit our people by
keeping it there Have we not all
suffered because we could not be
informed of Legislation that was
being enacted there Recognizing
these things Berkeley delegates
always have voted for removal.
Were one to vote otherwise it
would be an end of the confidence
and trust rerosed in him by the
people. We propose TO keep this
subject before the people until the
Legislature acts, feeling that the
removal Of the Capitol to either
Wheeling, Parkersburg, Clarks-
burg, Grafton, or some accessible
point, and the modification or
abolition of the County Court sys-
tenn are the two most important
measures to be consummated by
the Legislature of 1875.

A QUAKER PRINTERS ADVICE.

Never send all article lor puOil-
cation without giving the editor
thy name, for thy name oftentimes
secures publication to worthless
articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the
door of printing Office; for he
that answereth the rap sneereth in
his sleep and loseth time.
Never do thou loaf about, nor
knock down the type. or the boys
wilt love thee as they do the shade
trees-when thou leavest.
Thou shouldst not read the copy
on the printers case, or the sharp
and hooked retainer thereof, or
he may knock thee down.
Never inquire of the editor for
news, for behold it is his business
10 give it to thee at the appointed
time without asking for it.
1t is not right that thou sh0uldst
ask him who is the author of an
article, for it is his duty to keep
such things to himself.
When thou dost enter his office,
take heed unto myself that thou
uOSt uOt loOk db WHaL cOuceTuS
thee not, for tina. is not meet in the
sight of good breeding
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, fer it is not ready to meet
thine eye.thou mayest un ierstand.
Prefer thine own town paper to
amy other, and subscribe for ii i'm
mediatoly.
Pay for it in advance, and it
shall be well with thee and thine.
