USING MS INFLUINcE.-A good citi-
zen, who has the cause Of temperance
at heart, was yesterday travelling up and
down Michigan avenue TO watch for to-
pers and coax them 10 sign the pledge
and mend their ways. He got hold OF
three hard cases at once and :ook them
into boot and shoe store to argue the
point. They were willing 10 listen, but
obstinate about signing, and the good
man went out to secure more influence.
He met a butcher whom he had long
known. and explaining the case to him,
the butcher replied:
"They won't sign, eh Well, now.
you see # they don't. They know me,
and they'll put their names down like
streak OF lightning -
Entering the store he unfolded the
pledge and TO the first he said:
"Tom, want your fist to til -
"I'd ruther not" replied Tom.
"You put your name down here or
IN give you.the worst humping You
ever got, and don't you forget it " yelled
the butcher.
Tom signed and the man Of meat
crooked his. finger. at jim. who didn't
hesitate minute. The third one didn't
know the butte her and he said he wouIdn't
sign the pledge for no man. '''
al guess you will guess you will!'
said the butcher AZ he rolled up his
sleeve. 'I'm coming now -
He took the topper by the throat. flung
him over box Of boots aud into corner,
and in thirty lone seconds from the first
dash the topper called out: -..
"I.et up on me and gimme the pen -
He signed, and then placing the three
in row, in front Of him the butcher
said
"rm temperance all over, and my
whole heart is in this work. IL catch
either one Of you guzzling any more
drink III tie you in knot around .
lamp-post and pump you out with ERE
steamer G'lang now, and see il you
can't convert some one else !" .-..r

carrying the grist in one end of the bag and
stone in the other, when reproved by the miller,
and told to divide the grist, replied that his IA

and he, being no better than they, should contin-
ue to do as they did. Similar, or equally absurd,
reasons are accounted as sufficient by some TO

papers, ever experienced. 1t is said by those
who are competent to judge, that there is not q
country paper that is making any money, and
bntvery few city papers. From weekly reports
published by journals devoted to the printing
interest, it appears that the newspaper suspen-
sions in the United States average eleven per
day. Amsjority of country papers now use "pat-
ent outsides," and others are adopting them ev-
cry week. This is one of the sure indications of
Q hard road to travel. And yet, almost every
week, we hear Of new papers being started.
Printers are always found who are ready to act
in opposition to one of the very foundation prin-
ciplss Of business-to start papers where expert
ence has fully demonstrated there is no demand.
The latest venture We hear of, is q new paper at
Holtcn. There is already one paper there. and
