The ex-Queen Of Greece, though
by birth Bavarian, is said to
have had French heart and dis
position; she possessed remarkable
beauty land a mind rich in wit and
learning, she was an excellent
sportswoman, superior even to the
Empress of Austria; all the mate
rial improvements, roads, palaces,
philanthropic establishments, &c,
that Greece received during the
reign of her husband Ohio, are to
be attributed to her, and she never
ceased to assert HAD / been a mo-
'ther, / would still be Queen of
Greece" She was remarkable,
also, for the beauty of her hands,
and resorted to various means for
preserving their whiteness and
perfection; not a new soap, or a
new wash or odor, but she patron
lied it. In fact, every perfumer
might justly boast at being furn-
ished to her Majesty.

The Quincy Herald tells how a
conductor on the Toledo. Wabash
and Western railroad, on his way
with heavy freight train, behind
time, and with a full head of steam
saw a man frantically waving a
monstrous umbrella to hail the
train, The brakes went down and
with mighty effort the heavy
train was brought to a stop. The
individual with the umbrella
turned out to be Irish, and the fol-
lowing dialogue ensued:
"Can see the conductor ?"
"You can that's me-"

Running n Newspaper.

From the San Francisco E.cdnsiner. |
BY some unaccountable misap-
prehension of facts there Is d large
class of people In the world who
think that it cost little or nothing
To run newspapers and if they buy
a copy from the newsboy, when
too far from the Office to come and
beg one, they are regular patrons
and entitled 10 unlimited favors.
Men cali every day at newspaper
offices to geta copyof the daily pa
per, just from the press, for moth
ing, who would never dream of
begging a pocket handkerchief
from dry goods store, or IL piece
of candy from confectioner, even
upon the plea OF old acquaintance,
having bought something once be-
fore. One paper is not much, re-
marks the Memphis avalanche, but
a hundred day amounts to some
thing in the course Of time. But
this is a small drain compared with
the free advertising a newspaper is
expected to do. Some men who
have paid two dollars at an early
period of life for an advertisement
worth four or five appear to think
that they are stockholders In the
establishment for eternity. They
demand the publication ofall mar
riages and funeral notices, obitua-
ries, and family episodes. for the
next forty years, gratis. Speak of
pay and they grow indignant. -
Don't ] patronize your paper ?n
Yes; but you receive the worth
OF your money for what you pay"
But" says the patron, ssit will
not cost you anything to put this
in" which Is just as ridiculous as
TO ask a man to grind your AK on
a grindstone, and graciously tell
him it won't cost him a cent. 1t
takes money to run a newspaper
as we'll as any other business. No
paper will succeed financially that
carries a dead-head system. Any
mention of the peoples affairs
that they are anxious to see ia
print is worth paying for, and when
printed is generally worth as much
as any other investment of the
same amount.
The newspaper business is very
exacting on all connected with it,
and the pay is comparatively
small the proprietors risk more
money tor smaller profits, and the
editors and reporters work harder
and cheaper than the same lumber
of men many other profession re-
curing the given amount of in
telligence, training, and drudgery.
The life has its charms and pleas
ant associations, scarcely known to
the outside world but it has its
earnest work and hours of exhaus-
ton, which are not known to those
who think the business all fun
The idea that newspaperdom is a
charmed circle, where the favored
members live life of ease and free
from care, and go to the circus at
night on a free ticket and to the
springs ona free ticket in summer,
is an idea that we desire to explode
practically and theoretically. Bus
mess is business, and the journal
that succeeds is the one that is run
on a square business footing, the
same as banking or building bridg-
es, keeping hotel, or running a
livery stable.

The Alton, Ill, Telegraph says:
Our readers will remember the
fearful ocean disaster few weeks
since. the sinking Of The steamer
Schiller Among the victims were
Mr.. John Suppigeg and family, Of
Highland, in this county. Just
prior 10 his departure Mr.. Suppig-
er added a strange codicil to his
will, leaving his property to his
brothers and sisters. The last SEN
tence OF the codicil reads as follows
"The above codiciI shall have
full force and validity in Ease my
self,my wife Catharine, my d ugh
ter AdeIine and my son John
should have the misfortune, all
and every one of us named, Of be-
ing lost and meet with death on
the ocean, on our trip to Europe,
now about TO be undertaken
The will, with this codicil at
tached, has been filed for probate.
No other conclusion can be drawn
from the language of this docu-
ment than that of Mr.. Suppiger,
before his departure, had pre-
sentiment that the voyage would
prove fatal to himself and family.
Many strange instances are on rec
ord or persons in perfect health
having vivid premonitiGns of
death, but the premonition evil
IDENTIFY felt by Mr.. Supniger con-
corning not only himself but his
whole family, ranks as one of the
most startling instances of present
iments ever related. 1t furnishes
an interesting incident for the in

Suicide of a Young Girl.

Yesterday afternoon Louisa Hemming-
1laus, young girl sixteen years OF age,
left home for her regular working-place,
which is at Meyers candy store, on Main
street. On arriving at the store she was
told that her services were not needed
,for the day, and SO went to her aunts
house at No. 545 Main to spend the
day.
After dinner she went into the back
room, and not returning for some length
of time her aunt opened the window OF
the room and went in, when she found
the young girl, who is only sixteen years
of age, lying on the floor, with saucer
full OF liquid by her side. She died In
q few moments.
A Coroner's inquest was commenced
to-day. Catherine Frey, mother OF the
deceased, was the first witness sworn,
and testified to the general good health
and spirits OF her daughter.

pany with young man named AL.

about promiscuously on doors, stairs,
floors, or anything 1t chooses, and with
no more regularity than on any former
occasion, and the mediums have finally
given up in disgust.
A large number Of scientific gentlemen
have also visited the house during the
three weeks in which the manifestations
have been of regular daily occurrence.
These gentlemen, after q careful and
thorough investigation, have failed to
arrive at any solution of the problem, as
have all others.
Among those who have been present
are several who have made it their boast
that no NANTES tation of this kind had
ever been made in their presence, even
through accomplished mediums, but
they, as with all others, are perfectly
puwerless to control the freaks of this
obnoxious one, and it has rioted unre-
strained in their presence, fairly making
their eyes start from their sockets in
amazement, and their ears ring by the
violence of it's raps ank knocks in vari-
GUS localities in the house. Among the
gentlemen who have always heretofore
had quieting effect upon the spirits is
Mr.. Brookbank, the Assistant Street
Commissioners, but he acknowledges
himself fairly defeated and entirely non-
as numerous and vigorous as ever in his
presence.
On Sunday last the ''spirits" seemed to
be especially lively, commencing as ear
ly as O'Clock Z. NJ, and the noises being
even more violent and plentiful than
ever and continuing unusually late. For
three days past, however, little has been
heard from the visitor whose presence
was becoming somewhat monotonous to
Mr.. Williamson, and he begins to hope
that it has taken it's departure, for al
though neither himself or his wife have
been at all alarmed by the unusual, and
to them. entirely uDeXplainablG occur
rences, yet they will be glad to he rid of
the annoyance and the crowd which it
brings.
Mr. Williamson says that while he does
not believe in any thing supernatural
connected with it, he is free to admit
that he can not explain the mystery him
self, and would be grateful to any one
who will do it.
