Pulaski Citizen.

The above is timely and to
the point, but thero is one fact
which We wish to emphasize.
That is, that the price of sub
scription does not pay the cost
of publication-especially' in
country offices. This-is SO, even
in good times, and more so in
hard times. Then keeping in
mind the fact that the average
country paper costs the publish
er more than be gets for it, how
can a reduction of price be cx-
pected? In good times the adj
vertising patronage makes up
this deficit and gives the pub
Usher a small profit, but in times
like the present it is not suffi-
cient TO do this. Hard times
cuts down the patronage Of a
newspaper before 1t touches
any thing else. 1t cuts off sub
scriptions already insufficient to
pay expenses, cuts off the in
come Of the Office, and at the
same time increases the outgo
by increasing the space to be
filed with reading matter. So,
a reasonable man can see that
it is great struggle for coun-
try paper to live such times as
these, and really that an increase
of price rather than a reduction
would be proper. Perhaps the
Citizen has enjoyed a prospcri-
ty above the average in the past.
In fact, for ten years after the
war its prosperity was remark
abe, but for five years past il
has barely made a living for It's
large family and employees.
This, however, is more than
most. country papers can say.
BIT we hope for better things
than these now in the near fn-
tire. We pray you TO help US
realize our hopes.

Nelly was born on Friday,

When roses are reddest and sweetest,
And brightest shines the moon;
But was born on Saturday,
In dull November weather;
So Nelly is Spring and am Fall,
And we sing and play together.
"Friday's child is loving and giving,
And Saturdays child must work for its
living"
Nelly's eyes are blue as the sky,
Mine are as black as night;
Sam calls her beauty girl,''
Aid me little fright
Nelly is as white as a tea rose
! am brown as bear;
Nelly loves me and love her.
And whatever we haze we shire,
For Fridays child is loving and giving.
And Saturdays child must work for its
living"
Sam sang it first to teass us
(Boys love to tease you know,
And Nelly cries and kisses ms,
And said it shouldn't be so;
She would sell the bird and rabbit,
And she had a silver dime
But Sam just laughed and looked at her,
Singing all the time,
fridays child is loving and giving,
And Saturdays cLili must work for its
living"

And wiped poor Nelly's eyes,
And told hpr uva,d ha b,karc

ed-Facts not Understood by the
Public.
Hartford cohraut..
A friend asks why it is that
the price of the newspaper does
not drop with the price Of cloth
ing and provisions. tits a reas-
enable question, and shall have a
frank answer. The newspapers
Of the first class are better now
than they were few years ago;
and the cost of producing them
is more, while their. receipts for
advertising arc much less than
formerly. The newspapers have
shared to the full extent the
hardness of the times. Few
of them have made much money
since 1878, many of the most
important newspapers have
been without profit, some at a
loss. Every newspaper in the
country, SO far as we know, is
sold at much below its cost-it
depends wholly upon the adver-
tising for making up the deficit.
When business is poor the news
paper is the first to feel it.
But for the fact that the price
of white paper has fallen since
the war, many newspapers
would be compelled to suspend
or greatly increase their SUBJ
scription price. There has been
a fall in paper, and the rates of
composition have decreased
but forthese reductions the news
paper would hardly have surviv-
ed. For in most other respects.
the cost of producing the news
paper has increased. More is
demanded of it. The cost of
collecting news increases every
day; the telegraph bills are
higher than ever, and would
have seemed enormous a few
years ago; correspondence in
journals of the first-class is
better and better paid; the ex-
pense ofthe editorial department
is greater, and the labor on it is
better and more varied. If we
were to 60 through all the items
from telegraph down to gas bills,
the reader would see why the
newspapers can not afford much,
if any, reduction below present
rates, especially when it is con-
sidered that it takes its full share
of bad debts and loss Of business.

Our New York Letter
February's Festivities A Gala
Mouth In New York Tho Cat
tie Plague.
TO the Editor of the Observer
New YoRK, Feb. 20, 1873.
s1he February days have
come, the gayest Of the year.
The grand Charity BAH has como
and gone, like a nethodical an
nual comet. So has the fam9ds
French Cooks ball, where were
music and dancing, and above
all malvels of beauty and skilled
handiwork in sugar and pastry
and lard, in accordance with
time-honored custom. So, too,
has the walters ball, where, as
in former seasons, the merrimeRt
took ON a "can-canicap'--ard /
fear Brother Talmage would say,
an unorthodox form. The Lie
derkranz ball, too, perhaps the
most famous of the periodical
revels of the metropolis, trans
pired on Valentines Eve at the
Academy of Music, amid a blaze
of lights, the blare of two man,
moth orchestras, banks upon
banks Of flowers, a vast whil'l
of beautiful and grotesque cos-
TUNES, masks, donlinoes, and all
the other paraphernalia of the
reckless but aristocratic rout.
St. Valentine himself, moreover,
has passed over cur heads, drop
ping upon them in his flight some
millions of sentimental missives,
not to mention a ton or SO of
the monstrous caricatures with
which this sportive saint is wont
to fire the plebian heart. just
think of what an arrayl And
besides all these gayeties, this
little undersized month still holds
in reserve for Us Washington's
Birthday, and the inevitable
Martha Washington Reception,
which comes in to crown this ca
reer of dissipation, and prepare
us through sheer exhaustion to
welcome the austerities of Lent.
For many years, and especial
ly for the last three years, the ex-
porting of live cattle and meat
to Great Britain has been one
of the heaviest and most rapidly
growing items of our foreign
business. Considerable conster-
nation was therefore the natural
consequence Of recent cable
gram to the effect that strong
pressure was being brought ON
the British Government to COM
pei it to forbid the importation
of American cattle. The rea-
son given for this action was the
alleged existence of plague a
mong our animals. This report
was at first,scouted on this side
of the water; but still an inves-
tigation Of the subject was Hig-
orously undertaken, and sure e.
nough, serious amount of dis
ease has been discovered in this
city, and on both sides of Long
Island Sound. Stringent meas
ures have been adopted to pre-
vent the spread of the pest, which
has been decided to be pleuro-
pneumonia. On Long Island,
where the trouble is most severe,
all diseased cattle are to be
slaughtered, all infected ones
quarantined, and all.stables in
-pected and disinfected. $4,000
has been appropriated by the
State Legislature to prosecute
the war upon the plague, and
there is little cause for alarm that
it viii spread from this point.
