Prentice and Mike Walsh.

Prentice, Notwithstanding his tu-
multuous career, his violent controver-
sizes, and bitter quarrels, was generous
and forgiving, If not amiable. Shame
fully and persistentIy slandered - he
admitted that he had faults enough 10
render malignant invention superhuous
-he was ever ready to meet his enc
mics halfway in reconciliation, and he
rarely remembered injuries where there
was any disposition toward atonement.
The noted Mike Walsh and himself
had had fierce newspaper bouts, but had
never seen each other until they met
one day in Washington.
Walsh, cycling him, approached and
said ss You are George D. Prentice, I
believe"
The Louisville editor, responding in
the affirmative, the SstbterrasseGn scribe
continued /: ss You've skinned me like an
eel, Prentice, but you did it SO well
that don't particularly object TO it.
You're a man of genius and q good fell
low, and want TO say that admire
and like you.
The Manhattan agrarian offered hia
hand, and the biographer of CLAY COR
daily shook il, with the remark. ar
think we'll have TO toss up, Walsh. TO
determine which of MS iE the eel. %

Mistaken Advertising.

The Denver (Col.l Herald, in late
number. expresses the opinion that the
public can be better reached through
the columns Of newspaper Of a fair
circulation than through all the other
mediums, costly circulars, cards. post
ers, give-aways and jimcracks put TO-
gether. The old established weekly
newspaper il. after all, the only general,
luolchous medium for advantageous adj
vertislng. A thousand doors are opened
70 welcome it q thousand messengers
are weekly seeking the postofice TO re-
ceive it; o thousand families look for
its coming, and ten thousand read it
when it does come, advertisements and
all. There is much truth in this. The
thousands of dollars wasted annually
upon expensive almanacs, circulars and
other questionable methods of adyer-
Using, which, IN company with patent
Office reports, find their way to the Junk
shop, would render very material aid
toward the support OF numbers Of de-
serving local papers, and also return
something In the way of profit to the
advertiser.

GREETED himself in the car in this city,

PATIENCE.

or all virtues patience is the easiest to
practice. Or will the reader say it is the
HARDEST It is only waiting; is it not
easy enough to wait 1t is not doing with
laborious and wearisome exertions. 1t is
not resolution spurring on the weak or
reluctant mind. It is not courage in the
midst of dangers which the common mind
might fear. It is keep still; and is it a
virtue to keep stillp 1t is much needed
in domestic life, and in many private and
public relationships. Can we not have
more of it? And is it some deluslon thai
enables us to say it is only through mo-
