lISaonaira" on Newg1a1ara.

Every man thinks a newspaper a fair
game. If a society or any body of men
get up a concert or ball, or any other
form of entertainment, the object of
which is to put money in their own
pockets, or, if the proceeds are to be de-
voted to charitable purposes, to add to
their own glOrifcation, they become
very indignant if the prOprietOrs of
newspapers do not assist them with a
series Of gratuitOus advertising for sew
eral weeks before the event takes place
These men, says an exchange, should
remember that literary men, in this
practical age, work for money as well as
for fame-principally the former, how
eYer-and the business manager of a
newspaper, if he wishes to keep on the
safe side of the ledger, conducts his
charge on the same principle as the
head of any other business establish
ment. People waO are getting up ball
would feel Chary Of asking present of
a pair of gloves from a merchant on that
account, yet asking and expecting to re-
ceive a gratuitous advertisement is
similar demand The editor of the
Marlboro (Mass.) JOlTnaI stated the case
very plainly when he informed his
readers ludL, w e long ago duOpJeu lu6
plan of charging our regular reading
notice price for all editorial announce
ments of entertainments to which an
admission fee is fixed. We make no
exceptions to this rule. In the way of
new topics, we freely and gladly insert
sketches of all entertainments after they
have become matters Of history. 1t is
only the preliminary work, looking to
the drawing out of increased patronage
from the public for which we expect
compensation" 1t costs money to con-
duct paper, and printing offices must
have support, the same as churches or
Institutions.

ANEW Turnpike Bin BY NJ. Dawson

Our wide awake Representative,
Capt. Dawson, has introduced a
very important bill House bill No.
7O5) to authorize the Commission
ers of this county to locate and con
struct turnpike roads. It author
izes,the Commissioners, ,WheneVertbey
deem it ezpedient, to construct turn
pixies not less than 80 nor more than
so feet wide, between any points
within the county where they are
deemed necessary, the roads when
built to be free and kept in repair
by the county. They may be To-
Gated upon any State, county OF
township road already established,
or any part thereof Before con
strueting said turnpikas, the Com
missioners may require and receive
donations Of money from the tax
payers, and also written agreements
subJecting their lands to taxation
annually, to aid in the construction
Of said pixies, which agreements
shall be fled with the county audit
or and operate as q lien on theresI es-
tate of the parties thereto, the rev
enue from said donations and taxes
to be applicable only to the con
struetion of said pixies.
Upon the location of any such
pixies the Commissioners may levy q
special tax for turnpike purposes Of
not over two mills on the dollar on
the grand duplicate Of the county,
and continue such levy from year to
year until the pixies are completed;
but no such tax shall be levied upon
any lands which have before been
assessed for the free turnpikes al
ready constructed or in the course
of construction, ''unless the amount
CHAT would be ratably levied upon
'such lands exceeds the amount Of
''such previous assessment, and in
'fsueh cases, such excess only shall
''be levied and collected"
This clause of course relieves tax
payers in all parts of the county,
who have already been taxed for
turnpikes, and equalizes the burden
Of all such improvements upon the
people Of the whole county.
This is the gist Of the bill The
remaining sections authorize the
Commissioners to issue and sell
county bonds, bearing 6 per cent. in
terest, which shall not be sold at
less than par.
The work on such pixies is to be
let to the lowest responsible bidder,
after public advertisement in the
Where said pixies run
through any town, they are to be
kept in repair within the corpora
ton limits by the corporate authori-
ties.

TIE CLERGYMAN AND pEDD1ER

A clergyman who longed to trace
Amid his flock q word Of grace,
And mOurned because he knew not why
YoR fleece kept wet while his kept dry
While thinking what he could do more,
Heard some one rapping al the door;
And opening it, there met his view
A dear old brother whom he knew,
Who had got down by worldly blows
From wealth 10 peddling east-Of clothes;
"COme I'm, my brother said the pastor
Perhaps my trouble you can master;
For since the summer you withdrew,
Ny converts have been very few"
al can" the peddler said, 'unroll
Something perchance to ease your soul;
And to cut short all fulsome speeches,
Bring me pair Of your old breeches."
The clothes were brought; the peddler ga1ed,
And said, mo longer be amRzedi
The gloss upon the cloth is such,
think, perhaps, you sit too much
Building air-castles bright and gay,
Which Satan loves to blow awayi
And here, behold : as am bern,
The nap from neither knee is worn!
He who would great revivals see
Must wear his pantaiOons at the knee;
For such the level prayer supplies.
When pastors kneel their churches rise"

THE BEAUTY.-A dry goods clerk was
showing a lady some parasols recently.
This clerk had a good command of Ian
guage, and knows how to expatiate on
the good qualities and show the best
point of goods. As he picked up a para
Sol from the counter and opened it, he
struck an attitude of admiration, and
holding it up so the best light would be
had, said:
"Now, there. Isn't it lovely? Look
at that silk! Particularly observe the
quality, the finish, the general effect.
Feel Of it. Pass your hand over it. No
he said as he handed it over to the lady;
"ain't it a beautyw
"Yes" said the lady, stufing her
handkerchief into her mouth, Eyes,
that's mine. Just laid it down there" "
The clerk was Immediately seized
with a severe attack of quickened con-
science. and passed right Off of the sub
ject of parasols on to the weather.

4 Cautious Han.

A friend of mine went recently to
have a tooth stopped. The dentist adj
vised him that he had better have the
tooth taken out, and assured him that
he would feel no pain if he took laugh
ing gas.
"What is the effect of the gasp asked
my friend.
1T simply makes you totally insens-
ible," remarked the dentist; don't
know anything that takes place"
My friend submitted, but just pre-
viOus to the gas being administered, he
put his hand in his pocket and pulled
out his meney.
"Oh, don't trouble about that now,"
said the dentist, thinking he was going
to be paid his fee.
Not at al, said the patient; 81 was
simply going to see how much I had
before the gas took effect"

Turkish Wives.

First among the Turkish social topics
IS that Of the harem. The koran allows
a Mussulman to have four wives and
many persons have Consequently i'm
Rgined that polygalny is the rule in
Turkey, whereas 1t is the exception. A
Mussulm8n may only have as many
wives as he can keep In comfort; and
it is only the very rich who can afford
four. The middle-class Turks have only
one wife apiece the men of the lowest
class are often obliged to remain single
from not having the means to support a
cOnsort in the style which the Moslem
law enioins. Nothing can be more un-
Turkish than the Mormon ideas of accU-
mulating a number of women to live
under one roof, quaTrelling in the kitchen
and parlor, and acting as household
drudges for their husband. The Turkish
wife is not a slave; the chief fault to
find with her is that she has too iofty a
sense Of her own dignity. An advocate
of female rights would have some difq-
Guilty in persuading her that her lot was
pitiable; she has never enVied the
emancipation of Christian women,
whose free ways shock her; while she
has noticed that they get much less re-
spect from the men of their faith than
that which is Invariably vouchsafed to
herself She wells her face with no
more regret than a Western lady unveils
her shoulders. Turkish women are not
shut up. They go out when they please,
attended by their odaliks if rich, or
holding their children by the hand and
their magpie voices fill the bazaars, for
they are noisy takers. Whenever they
pass, men of all CTeeds stand aside def
erentially. If a husband meets his wife
in the street, he makes no sigh of rec
OgnitiOn; if he perceives her halting
before a draper's stall and gazing signifi-
antly at silk dearer than he can afford,
he must possess his soul in resignation,
muttering "Mashallah." This respect
for women prevails also in the home
circle, and it comes naturally TO the Mus
sulman, who has been taught from his
bOyhOOd to behave cOUrteoUsly to the
softer sex. The Western coniugal ex-
preston about wearing the breeches"
has its Turkish counterpart in the phrase
to olive under the slipper" )" and it is to
be feared that not few Turks know the
taste of this implement of uXorial per-
A hamal (street pOrter) once
came before a cadi to complain that his
wife tTOunced him too frequently. "See
what mine does" answered the magis-
trate, opening his gown and showing
some weals upon his neck and shoulders.

thou art luckier than ="

THE CIPHER DISPATCHES.
Mr.. TiIden and Nephew Pei
ton on the Witness Stand.

/ Eon on the uulCIl8SS StaTQu
The Potter Investigating Commit
/ tee went to New York few days ago
and examined Mr.. Tilden, his neph-
ew, Col PeltOn, Mr.. Marble, late ed
itor of the N. Y. World, B[r. Cooper,
Chairman Of the Democratic Nation
al Committee in 1876, and Mr.Weed.
Mr.. Tilden emphatically denied all
knowledge of the cipher dispatches,
and all completely in any attempts to
buy the electoral votes Of any State.
He admitted that nephew Pelton had
been engaged in that business, but
declared that as soon as he found out
what his wicked relative was doing,
he promptly ordered him home from
Baltimore, where be had gone to
close the bargain.
Messrs. Weed, Pelton and Marble
all admitted the genuineness of the
cipher dispatches, and the general
accuracy of the N.Y.Tribune's trans
lation Of them. Mr.. Weed boldly
admitted that be did try to buy the
S. Carolina returning board for Til
den, and said he would do it again,
under the same circumstances. When
he heard it was for sale he didn't see
any harm in buying i'll Mr.. Weed is
evidently a Democratic statesman O
of the first water.
Mr.. Marble, who conducted theme
gotiations for the purchase Of the
Florida returning board, denied most
vehemently that he ever intended to
buy! Oh mol He merely wanted 10
find out whether the board could be
bought, and then warn his party
friends that there was something
rotten in"-Floridal ''The very head
and front of his offending hath this
eztent-uo more, if we may believe
Mr.. Marble.
Col Pelton admitted his negotia-
tions and dispatches relative to the
purchase of the SC. returning board,
but entirely exonerated "Uncle Sam
ny" from all knowledge Of his wicked
designs. As the Immortal J. n"
would say, the gallant Col. assumed
all the PRESSURE"
When asked where he expected to
get the S5O,OOO-the ''half hundred
U. S. documents he had agreed to
pay for one electoral vote from S. c.,
he replied, 'from the Democratic Ma
tional Committee" but the Chairman
(AIr. Cooper testified that the Com
mittee had no money, and he knew
nothing of Pelton's plan. He also
testified that when he got PeltOn's
dispatch from Baltimore, asking for
100000, he went to Tilden and told
him what his nephew was about,
when Tilden said he must be tele-
graphed to come home at once.
"Sausages, Sammy, said the elder
Mr.. Weller, "are very good, but
they require confidence" So does
Mr. Tilden's story. It certainly re-
quires a large amount Of confidence
in his honesty, to believe that all
this dispatching to his residence in
"Gramerey Park, and all this bar
gaining and negotiating by his conf
secretary and nephew and his
"coparceners, Weed, Marble & Co.,
could have been carried on without
Mr.. Tilden's knowledge or sanction.

Lunafcs DO not Shed Tears.

One of the most curious facts con-
nected with madness is the utter alb
sence Of tears amid the insane. What
ever the fOIm of madness, tears are con-
spicuous by their absence, as much in
the depression of melancholy, or ex-
citement of mania, as in the utter
apathy of dementla. IF a patient in a
lunatic asylum be discovered in tears. it
will be found that it is one beginning
to recover, or an emotional outbreak in
an epileptic who is scarcely truly insane,
while actual insane persons appear to
have lost the power of weeping It is
only returning reason which can once
more unloose the fountain of their tears.
Even when a lunatic is telling one in
fervid language how she has been de-
JITved Of her children, or the outrages
That have been perpetrated to herself
Ter eye is never even moist. The
ready gush of tears which accompany
The plant of the sane woman contrasts
strangely with the dry-eyed appeal Of
the talkative lunatic. It.wOuld, indeed,
seem that tears give relief to feelings
which, when pent up, lead to madness.
1t is one. of the privileges of reason 70
be able to weep. Amid all the misery
Of the insane they find no relief in
ears.

M. Paul GUstave Dyre Was born al
Strasbourg forty-fve years ago, and az
child sent to Paris, and there, while
yet a student gave signs of that marvel
lOus facility in drawing which he has
since so astonishingly developed. He
became a thorough Partisan. With all
quickness and handiness, the keen intel
ligence and the splendid sUperfciality
which the French capital produces in its
sons, he had flashes of genius beyond
the ordinary, and at Is he was already
challenging attention by his drawing in
the Journal pour Rire, while at the same
time he attempted fame by exhibiting
pen and ink sketches at the Salon. At24
he made a asuccess in the world by his ex-
cellent fantastic illustrations to Balzac's
Comics DroLutigteS, perhaps the most note
worthy Of all his achievements. Mean
time he was boldly ransacking heaven
and earth, and the poets, ancient and
modern, for subjects. Nothing came
amiss to him: nothing was too little for
him to embellish with fancy nothing
too great for him to attempt with bold
ness. He had painted and exhibited
without intermissiOn an incredible NUM-
Der of square yards of canvas, he Is now
the first professor extant of sensational
art, and there is not turn or device for
producing effects which he has not ex-
hausted with much success and great
approval.

Essnssinntinn q Pnrrot.

A parrot has been assassinated in San
Francisco. A faro banker named FaTy,
does business by night and sleeps by
day. His lodging place is the upper
floor of a three story house near the
city hall. A fortnight ago a family
moved into apartments on a lower floor.
The gambler lost his sleep, for the new
lodgers had a parrot Of unusual lingual
abilities, and each morning it was placed
out on a porch in the rear Immediately
under his bedroom window, and woke
him up and kept him awake with the
ceaseless and senseIess chatter and its
domaniac laughter He stood this until
he had vainly hurled at it $3.50 worth
of boot lacks, shoes, spittOons, tobacco
boxes and empty soda bottles redolent
of gin, by which time he concluded he
must DO something effective to abate the
nuisance. Being an ardent trout-fsher,
he fitted his beautiful fishing rod to-
gether, reeled out three stories of line,
and having adjusted a very taking and
highly-colored Mayfiy as the proper
bait for the season, went whipping"
through the window for his enemy.
The device was eminently successful.
The parrot made a dab at the deceitful
fly, and with an artistic switch the fish
erman fastened the barbed hook in his
gullet and reeled in his huttering and
screeching prize. Releasing the hook
he twisted the birds head three times
in one direction and its body five times
in another. and then insultingly dropped
the corpse into the porch below. But
his crime had been witnessed, and he
was subsequently arrested, but was tri-
umphantly acquitted.
