WASHINGTON NOTES.

The President has pardoned Joyce, the ST..
Louis whisky crook.
A Washington telegram of the Goth saws :
"The administration news from Ell Paso con-
firms the reports that the difficulty
there had no international significance Dis
patches from army officers say that the Mezi-
cans were, in fact, Texans, and did not cross
the Rio Grande. From careful inquiry to-day,
it can be stated that the President sees no
reason or occasion for war with Mexico"

actions of the Queen in which her kind

TaE Senate Finance Committee has
finally submitted its report on the silver
bill to the Senate. The House bill is
amended in several particulars. The
legal tender provision is retained, but
the section providing for free coinage is
stricken out, and q clause inserted in its
place, providing that the Secretary Of
the Treasury shall purchase bullion for
coinage in amounts of not less than
2,000, 600 nor more than 81, 000, 900 per
month, and the profits on such purchases
are to be paid into the treasury. This,
of course, is some improvement on the
present state of affairs, but We do not
think it will be Is satisfactory to the
people as the original bill, and We hope
the Senate will at least 50 modify the
report Of the com mittee Is to provide
for an unlimited coinage of silver instead
instead two or four millions per month.

The NEW YORK WEEKLY WITNESS
FOR 1878.

IhlS journal, which Will commence Its
seventh year ON 1st of January next,
combines the interest of the religious,
temperance, and literary journal with
that of the newspaper at the lowest prac
ticable price.
For all who buy and sell it offers most
carefully prepared market reports of
produce and live stock, and for the cap
italist and banker remarkably reliable
report Of stocks, bonds, gold, etc.
For the family it has home depart
ment containing three columns Of letters
from ladies upon social aud domestic
subjet Is; also, one column Of letters
from the children, which interests them
greatly. This department is speciality
of rare value and interest in the Witness.
There are also two or three columns of
letters from correspondents in all parts
of the country, some of them colored
preachers in the South, upon various
topics of general interest, prominent
one being the advantages If different re
gions for emigrants. In the literary line
it has serial story and short stories for
children; reviews of books and extracts
from religious and literary journals,
magazines, ETC.. etc. 1t has also a care
fully selected agricultural department.
The religious and temperance elements
are prominent in the Witness. 1t gives
a ffrst-rate commentary on the Sunday
School lesson for the succeeding week, a
daily report of the Fulton street prayer
meeting; occasional sermons by Mnody,
SpurgeOn, Cook, Muller and others; &c
clesiastical and missionary news. aud
Daily Bread, with texts for every day Of
the coming week.
For the patriot and politician, the
Witness gives three columns of extracts
from the leading political papers of New
York on the questions OF the day. a
well as about seven columns of editorial
articles and notes. For all it has SUM-
maries of the news of the week, home
and foreign, items of interest, selections,
clippings from contemporaries, etc.
The Weekly Witness, on account of its
great interest and low price, rose rapidly
to circulation of about 100000, being
the largest of any weekly newspaper in
the United States. but on account, we
suppose, of the long. continued hard
times, the circulation has diminished tn
about 10000, figure which we hope to
see doubled with the return of good
times.
The price is $3.50 per annum or 40
cents FER quarter, postage paid. Pay
ment is invariably in advance, and the
paper stops when the subscription ex-
pires. The Witness is not connected
with any denomination, party, or class,
and we ask all who approve of thor
oughly evangelical, teetotal and fearless
to aid us in extending its
among families.
New subscribers renting $3.50 for
1878, direct to the Office. will receive the
numbers of the unexpired year gratis.
The sooner they remit the more they
will get to the bargain. Any who wish
to give the Weekly Witness trial, may
have il three months for Is cents at this
season of the year, in the hope that they
will become permanent subscribers at
he full rate. JOHN DOUGALL,,
Proprietor and Editor,

LIPPlNCOTT'S MAGAZINE.

Lippincott's Magazine for December
opens with an interesting and richly
illustrated article on Sicily, by Alfred
T. Bacon. Captured by Cossacks," is
the title of another illustrated paper, de.
failing the adventures of a French officer
who served under Davoust in 1918. The
new serial, "For Percival," also illustra-
ted, continues to form one of the most
attractive features of the magazine.
An article which cannot fail to attract
much attention and excite lively inter-
est, is one containing the "reminiscences
of venerable lady an. To-" belonging
to the highest circles of Washington 90
ciety, who was the guest of Madison, an
inmate of the White House during the
presidency of Jackson, and an intimate
friend of Washington Irving, John P.
Kennedy and other celebrities. The
paper which is full of lively descriptions
and amusing anecdotes, is entitled "Days
of My Youth"
T. s. Perry, the well-known Boston
critic, discusses Ouida's novels, and ex-
plains the cause of their immense popu-
lsrity, despite their glaring faults and
the censures of reviewers. William
Owens writes entertainingly on the
"Folk-Lore of the Southern negroes" and
Olive Logan gives an account of English
Domestics and their Ways. There lisa sto-
syof French Internationalism, "A portrait
by Ita ANTON Prokop. Mrs. Wallace
Harney's tale of Southern manners, "a
Kentucky Duel" are both concluded.
Among the poems, "Selim," by Anna
Porter deserves notice; and the "Gos-
sip" has description of the departure
of the Imperial Guards, by a Moscow
correspondent.
This number closes the twentieth vol
ume and the tenth year of the issue of
this Magazine. The conductors an
nounce attractive features for the new
year, and promise that no effort will be
spared to maintain and increase its pop
ularity.

ONE CENT A DAY.-Economy is the
order of the hour. and every expsadi-
ture, however small, is expected to give
full value. Every family requires one
good, reliable family newspaper. Ifsuch
an article can be procured for less than
one cent for each working day of the
year, We are not aware of it. A tdssily
ncUspapr should contain . carefully
prepared summary of ill the news of the
day, both religious and secular; and if
arranged so that the two departments
may be separated and read by two indi-
viduals at the same time, 80 much the
better. The fan'iiy newspaper should
have attractive reading and information
for the various members of . household.
Some portion of the paper should be de-
voted, every week to religious and moral
improvement, to current secular news,
to agriculture, commerce, markets.
finance, to general literature. etc. Above
all, the family ne,uspapcr should be per-
fectly pure, and free from all contami.
mating influences in its reading matter
or in its advertisements. Too much at
tention cannot be paid to this feature,
when the press is flooding the country
with 30 much that is vile and pernicious.
To crown all, the family ne,cspaper should
be untrammelled by any utilization Of
sect or party, and should be free to give
all the good news from and about all the
world. If such q family newspaper can
be had for one cent a day, it should be
taken by every family in the land.
Such family Newspaper, in every re-
spect, we find in the New York Observer,
now commencing its fifty-sixth volume.
Progressive. comprehensive, sound, relia-
BILE, pure. it is just what is needed in
your household. Send 1915 for year

Hon. D. G. HASKELL has introduced
into the House bill providing that sill
yer coin and greenbacks as we'll as gold
shall be received for duties on imports.
This is a step in the right direction, and
we hope the bill viii go through. The
government ought long ago to have
been receiving greenbacks for custom
house dues, and whenever this is done,
greenbacks will be as good as gold.

THE Lawrence Journal estimates the
surplus fruit crop of Douglas County
this year at over 10000 barrels worth
on an average fifty cents per bushel-or
nearly $4,000. The shipments have
been made principally to Colorado,
and it now seems as though, in the course
of the next year or two, Kansas fruit
will entirely supply that market.
