A NeMspaper's. Patronage.

EE
 Publishers of newspapers, and more particularly local newspapers, have to depend mainly upon their advertising columns for their support. Yet how many are there who seem not to realize this fact. Instead of giving their paper liberal advertising patronage, they perhaps giveit none; and if levee or entertainment is got up in the place, the paper is expected to notice it for nothing, n. a|
 NowTif all the patronage that paper can expect is that of the locality for whose interest it works, it would seem that every one should give it the adver- tising that legitimately belongs to it, and not try to get it without paying for it. There is Q class of people that seem to shegrndge every dollar that goes to their local papers; and still borrow it and read it, and are the severest critics of it's shortcomings ...-y ....~-er
 } The publisher has to pay for labor and paper, and every notice of any kind, in the nature of an advertisement, he ought to have his pay for. He has got to get his living out of his advertising columns, and any society or individual can with just as much propriety beg five dollars of any other individual, as to expect it gratuitously of newspaper.
 Any man who does not think enough of his towns paper; and every trader who does not believe in advertising, should move into some town where they have no Gardiner Journal.

How they Buried the Hatchet.

The day following our centennial festivities, says the Boston .Herald, the following incident occurred in a South End saloon: A friend had invited one of the South Carolina soldiers into the saloon to put another turf on the buried hatchet. While standing at the bar 2 stranger came in. The Carolinian sud- denly dropped his glass and closely eyed the stranger. His gaze was so steady and peculiar that the friend began to be alarmed and to fear that the hatchet was about to be dug up again. Directly the Carolinian asked the stranger if he knew him. There was no recognition, where
 upon the Carolinian asked him if he wns not in the late war. !" Yes," was the reply. "And you were once stationed at such a place 9'' "Yes."- 'tAnd took part in such skirmisb ?'' "Yes1H' We'll, I thought so" replied the Caro- hnian, and, raising his hat, showed 0 large scar on his forehead, saying: "There is your sabre mark, my boy; come up and take drink" And so then and there they decorated the grave of the buried hatchet. e r ~

The New Panacea.

Modern science having demonstrated that alcohol is neither food nor physic, but, on the contrary, species of poison, the introduction of potent tonic which is entirely free from it is certainly sub ject for congratulation. Dr. Walkers s Vinegar Bitters is medicine which may be fairly characterized as an unobjection- able specific for many distressing and dangerous diseases. Temperance or ganizations, heretofore in favor of per mitting the sale of alcohol for medical purposes, are of opinion that Vinegar Bitters possesses all the efficacy as an in vigorant that has ever been even claimed for spirituous stimulants, and on this account. as we'll as because of the singu
 lar success which has attended it's use in dyspepsia, liver complaint, disorders of the bowels, nervous diseases, general debility and all maladies growing out of intemperance, they warmly recommend it as restorative and alternative of sur passing excellence.

The Business Prospect.

z
 In reviewing the business prospect, the New York Herald says: The most encouraging reports have been received concerning the crops in all portions of the country. Cotton is in good condi- tion; wheat and corp ore fourishing; the fruit and vegetable crops are unusually abundant; sugar and rice are said to be looking well; and there is Q prospect of n good market abroad. Under such promising conditions the country will surely. not go backward. With good crops there should be a general business revival.
 The price of labor is being gradually reduced, thus enabling the manufacturer to supply his products at lower rates. Cheap food and cheap manufactures lessen the cost of living and thus solve one of the disturbing problems of the day; for by the equalization of the earns ing and producing powers a cause of disco1itent is removed. x sb
 Money is abundhnt-to abundant, ill fact-anh too much confined to the finan- cial centers But we have passed through the worst of our dangers, land, although confidence is plant of slow growth, when it blooms again it will be to give vitality to new enterprises, put in use our idle capital, encourage investpent in whatever is cheap md possibly fruitful, and so start the country afresh upon it's forward march. In merely speculative circles there may be many reactions be- fore this stage is reached. Prices will seersaw at the will of the capitalist, and we shau have ups and downs of market values, but these cannot interfere with the progress of natural laws and that spirit of healthy reorganization which it evidently every at work.

Being an hungered he went into Newport restaurant and indicated to the waiter his desire for bodily norlrishment.

An Ingenious SWindle.

It has remained, says the Chicago
 Tribune, for St. Louis artist to de wise and attempt Q swindling scheme which is really admirable for it's novelty
 and ingenuity, though it chanced to fail at the first trial and is sof no further 'value.S The device consisted in bringe ing two telegrams and signature book toa wealthy man for his signature, the page of the book being so Gut and un- derlaid idswith a. b1ank check that the sign ing of the name twice would give the clever operator a check both indorsed and signed. The business man narrow ly escaped the trap, which failed for lack of little forethought, as the paper be- neath, ynotg being Tsecurely fastened, slipped enough to attract attention as the name was being signed the second time. This small circumstance defeated the pretty plan, and saved the discover CT big deficit in his bank account. s%

The Rocky Mountain Sheen.

A few words relative to the famous Rocky mountain sheep, & correspondent says, may be of interest. A full l-grown ram is as large as good-sized domestic calf. It's coat of hair resembles in tex
 ture and color that of deer, being coarse and of a gray color. The horns are stout and curved backward, as in domestic sheep, with the exception that they are much larger. The female possesses them also, being sstraighter and shorter. Hunters saysthat in descending from a rocky cliff they throw themselves some times over fifty feet, alghting on their horns, which are so elastic that the ami mals bounds into the air and slights on it's feet s This is very plauSib1e, as the Indians use these horns for bows, pos sessing some means of straightening them out for this purpose.
