A Quaker Printers Proverbs.

Never send an article for publication
without giving the editor thy name, for
thy name oftentimes secures publication
to worthless articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door of
a printing Office, for he that answereth
the rap sneereth In his sleeve and loseth
time.
Never do thou loaf about, nor knock
down tie type, or the boys will love thee
as they do the shade trees--when thou
leavest. - ~
Thou shouldst never read the COPY on
the printers case or hook, or he may
knock tLee down.
Never inquire of the editor for news.
for behold it is his business to rive It to
thee ct the appointed time without ask,
ing for it. -
1t is not right that thou shoulds. ask
him who is the author of an article. for
it is his duty to keep such things unto
himself.
= When thou dost enter his Office take
heed unto thysek that thou dost not
look at what may concern thee not, for
that is not meet in the sight of good
breeding.
& Neither examine thoutheproof-sheet.
for it is not ready to meet thine eyethou
mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
other, and subscribe for it immediately.
: Pay for it in advance, and it shall be
well with thee and thine.

Pepper in II.

There has been opened on Second
street, In beer cellar, free minstrel
performance, such as it is. Last night
some scalawag, who said if there was
anything in this world he did love it was
to see people sneeze, the expression of
the countenance being so excruciating-
~ uncertain, steamboated the cellar
while it was crowded with visitors. His
plan of procedure was to roll quantity
of red pepper in piece of cloth, ignite
it, and then throw it on the floor be-
meath a seat. tits said the effect was
astonishing. Some of tho occupants of
the. place fell up stairs in the street,
and others tumbled into the mud in
the alley. A fat performer. who
weighs about three hundred pounds,
got more than his share. While he was
warbling mother, I've Come Home
to Die" the perfume struck him, and
he almost collapsed. Forgetting all
about his mother, he went ont of o
window with the sash around his neck,
into the muddy alley.-Sacramento
