A Quaker Printers Proverbs.

Never sent articles for publication
without giving the editor thy name
for thy name oftentimes secures
publication to worthless articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the dool
OF printing office for he that an.
swerth the rap sneereth in his
sleeve and loseth time.
Never do thou loaf about, moi
knock down type, or the boys will
love thee as they do the shade trees
when thou leavest.
Thou shou!ist never read the copy
on the printers cases or on the
sharp aud booked contaiuer thereof
or ho may knock thee down.
Never inquire Of the editor for
news, for behold it is his business
to give it to thee at the appointed
time without asking for it.
1t is not right that thou shouldst
ask him who is the author Of ar
ticle, for it lie his duty 10 keep
such things unto himself.
When thou dost enter his Office,
take heed unto thyself that thou
dost not look at what concerns thee
not, for that is not meet in the sigh,
Of good breeding.
Never examine thou the proof
sheet, for it is not ready TO meet
thine eye that thou mayst under.
stand.
Thou shouldst not delude thyself
with the thought that thou has
saved a few cents when thou has
secured desd-hesd copy of his pa
per, for whilst the printer may suile
snd cay it's all right he'll never for
get thy mesnness.

Good hraadina.

One OF the sure tests OF good
breeding is thoughtful regard TO
tho convenience Of others 10 a crowd
An illbrod lpan or woman win stop
in q church aisle TO talk 10 q neigh
Dor, at the close OF the service, with.
out stepping aside to allow those
who are behind TO pass on nnbin-
dered. Aud the Same fault will be
shown in blocking tke passage- way
Of railroad car, while gathering up
baggage from the seat on arriving
at a station or 10 standing 10 the
door way Of public hall or place
Of business or in taking more than
ones share in streetscar, or nc q
street crossing, or 10 an exhibition
hall, or at q ticket Office. A person
Of true refinement and OF really good
breeding will have others in mind
while with others. The average
refinement | n any crowd or gather
ing Of people is plainly marked by
the ease With which all get along
together. Twenty persons Of good
breeding can fiud comfortable sit-
ting or standing room in a car, or
hall, or street, and be good naturod
all the time, when ten ill>bred per-
sons would bo jostling each other
ill-naturedly. Aud this is more than
matter Of good breeding. 1t ins
wolves a regard for the rights as
we'll rs the comfort OF others. II
is selfishness which makes one will
ing to block passage~way for one s
own convenience, when others want
to move on. 1t is dishonesty which
leads ono TO take moro than his OF
her share OF time or space, while
others are waiting for their turn, or
are waiting their place. Whoever
would be couuted well. bred or re-
fined ought to have this truth al
ways in mind 30 ought oil those
who would DO, aud do right. Chill
dren ought to be trained TO proper
course in this regard. They and
their parents ought to learn to keer

Judicial expenses bill. and now serious
ly thinks Of. returning j. with
out bis approval, unless one or
two Of its present provisions be
modified. The principal objection
is against the clause which prohibits
oil officers of the Government from
mourning any liabilities in advance of
appropriations. II is argued that this
might sometimes prevent the efficient
execution Of certain classes Of law, such
a those against Illicit distilleries and
timber depredations. In view of these
various considerations. it seems highly
improbable that the session will term.-
nate before the close of next week under
any circumstances, though. in case of a
veto Of the Judicial Expenses bill, both
Houses are ready to adjourn forth with
and take the chance that the President
would not convene another extra session
for that purpose.
DEs MoryEs, June 1.-THE Repub-
lican state convention met today, aud
wss called to order by F. Hstton. the
chairman OF the state committee. Hon.
j. y. c. Irwin was made temporary
chairman. On taking the chair he made
q speech which produced great enthusi-
ssm. In making up prospective can
didstes for the Republican party for
1880. the names Of Conkling, Sherman,
Blsin and Grant were mentioned. The
latter two names were met with par
ticularly enthusiastic applause; that for
Grant being several times repeated
and ending in cheers. The convention
after appointing the customary com
mittees adjourned till 2 o'clock.
ST. LOUIS. June 4-The President of
the Brewers Convention, this afternoon,
in his address. stated that 9,473, 1851
barrels OF beer were sold in the year
ending June. 1873, and the prospects
are that the sales this year will reach
10000. 600 barrels. He said the Stats
tics OF Massachusetts, show that, under
the prohibitory laws, the arrests and
convictions were % per cent. greater
than under license. There are more
places in which liquor is sold without
license than the whole number who sold
with license. Prohibition fails to pro-
tect or even regulate the sale of liquor.
He argues in favor of beer as beverage
and nourishment. He draws a marked
line between fermented and distilled
liquors. Gen. Raum, Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue, was introduced to the
Convention, and will deliver an address
before it tomorrow.

manner:
Whereas my husband, ]. NJ. Pome-
roy. has left my BED and board without

Don't PASS IT FURTHER.

A very absurd statistical statement
concerning Washington Territory is
now going the rounds Of the press, to
the effect that the Territor, has l62
miles Of railroad. liz. $780, $40 acres Of
land, that the N. p. r. 4. Co. claim
26.054, 4l9 acres of this land. tina. $685..
600 trees were destroyed in 1877, &c.
In the first place the Northern Pacific
Company has 1873 miles Of railroad in
the Territory, the o. S. N. Co. 5
miles. the Walla Walla Company 81
miles. the Olympia Company Is miles
and the Seattle Company 20 miles
total OF 200 miles instead OF 1s2. In
the next place the Territory contains
IN area . little less than 10000 square
miles Of $40 acres each. or only about
A ,00O. 900 acres instead of nearly three
times that number. Third. what the
Northern Pacific Company claims in
the way Of land We do not exactly
know. but we are positive it is not
twenty-six million acres nor the half
Of it. The statement that nearly eight
million trees were destroyed is the abb
surdsst Of oil absurd statements
Averaging them only . thousand feet
Of lumber each, which is far below the
real average. they would represent s.
DOC. 000. 600 feet of boards, or more than
has been cut by all the mills Of the
Territory during the twenty six years
Of our political Organization. The cir
culation of such statements Is the one
referred to are damaging rather than
otherwise, aud wo trust that our
brethren VI the shears and paste pot
will give this one no more publicity
than It has already received.
