The San Antonia (I exas) Herald,
in speaking of the relations between
newspapers, business men, and the
general public, observes: "TEe news
papers are good things in which to
advertise, and there is, or should
be, kind of moral obligation on
merchants to advertise and other
wise support the press. Newspaper
men never lay up any money. Cen
orally speaking, if an editor has
halfway sort of living in return
for fifteen hours day hard work,
he excites the envy of the entire
profession. But what he does make
always goes 20 improve his paper,
and the more local paper is i'm
proved the greater is the advantage
to the community in which it is
published"

The following from an exchange
is a little rough, but it is hardly
more so than Mr. Key might have
expected:
Now this Mr.. Key is set up as a
representative statesman and Demo
crat from the South. "Without any
sacrifice of principle" or any
pledges of the Republican party, he
goes into the Cabinet OF a iraudu-
lent President and thereby becomes
a party to the fraud and a benefi
ciary also. That he represents the
South and the principles of Democ-
racy and reform, we heartily dis
claim. Mr.. Key denounced the Re-
publican party before the election
as corrupt and unworthy of public
confidence. That party stole the
Presidency for Hayes, and Key
goes into his Cabinet. That's prin-
ciple, thst's consistency, that's re
forml ldr. Key has shown that he
loves eight thousand dollars a year
better than he loves party, people
or principle. He is a small and a
sad specimen of Office seekers. If
he is a representative of the South
ern Democracy, God help the coun
tryl Eight thousand dollars a year
bought this little East Tennessee
lawyer like "thirty pieces of silver
bought Judas Iscariot. Mr.. Key
sold himself at very high price.
He outsold Judas seven thousand
nine hundred and seventy dollars.

The South went home, an idle
mass, TO plot for getting by the bal

Here is what Parson Brownlow
thinks of base ball: That wicked
city, Memphis, is certainly entitled
to the name of the "city of crime, !"
for scarcely a day passes without
reports in their papers of murder,
robbery, or some species of crime
and horrible transactions. 1t is, no
doubt, a judgement visited upon
them, however, for their sacriligious
and Sabbath-breaking habits. They
desecrate the holy day with games
of base ball all through the season.

San Antonia (Texas) Herald; We
hear it frequently stated that there
is not much timber in Western
Texas and what there is OF it is not
worth much. In illustration of the
erroneousness of this idea, VIC may
state that Mr. B f. Biggs, from the
Sabinal, brought TO town 10000
shingles, cut from one cypress tree,
which shingles he sold for $500,
enough TO pay for the tract of land
on which the tree stood. A tree
that produces 10000 shingles is
worthy oi local mention. just
think what n beneficial effect those
shingles would have on the future
Of America If they were put where
they would do the most good.
