ronize papers should pay promptly, tor
the peculiar prospects Of the press have
q peculiar power in pushing forward
public prosperity. If the printer is
paid promptly, and his pocket book
kept plethoric by prompt paying patrons,
he puts his pen to tho paper in peace,
his paragraphs are more pointed, he
paints his pictures of passing events in
moro pleasant colors, and the perusal
Of his paper is of more pleasure to his
people. Paste this piece of proYerbial

and was taken out the next day,
alive and only slightly bruised, hav-
ing been imprisoned about sixteen
hours. Men worked all night Dig
ging for him, but without hope OF
saving his life. 1t happened that a
large fiat stone fell so as to stand on
end by the mans side, and another
fell on the top of this so AS to hold up
the mass of earth above and save the
life Of the prisoner. After he came
out he said he could hear the men
digging above all the while, bat
they were unable to hear his voice
until they were within two or three

The" A" Amnesty bill was passed
on the closing day Of the session OF
the Legislature. The act RENTS all
penalties incurred by railroads In
violation of the laws, upon the con-
dition that the railroads shall give
security for faithful compliance with
the laws for the next two years, and
that the railroads further agree to re-
duce their through rates to those In
force In 1873. 1t is establishing a
bad precedent to purchase compliance
with law. The roads ought To be
forced to comply with the law IL the
law is constitutional, and Ii 1t 10 not,
no compliance should be asked OF
them. If they will comply with the
