business men have acquired their for
tunes by intelligent use Of the news

friend about to start 10 business, Pay
as much for advertising as you do Tor

more in this than would occur TO some
at first thought.
Take the case Of a merchant. His
rent, clerk hire, insurance and other
expenses, are nearly as much upon
sales Of, say, $4,000 por annum as

this, and his concludes that it will pay

a Russian Story.

Oar ancestors in their youth pored
over the story of the exiles of Siberia.
aud generation after generation breath
lessly followed the devoted daughter
Elizabeth through the horrors Of her
terrible journey, which was no les,
thrilling because they knew it vas moi
true.
The young woman on whose adyen-
lures the history Of Elizabeth was
founded, really walked but a small part
of the way, and found powerful friends
at the end Of her journey, who received
and protected her to the end of her life.
1t has been left to our own day to
realize in dctual fact this old tragedy
of the escape from Siberia. The late
foreign newspapers briay allude to the
return from exile Of NJ. Mokrieyitch, q
Russian Socialist bat from other
sources we gain tie details.
THIS young man is about thirly-three
years OF age, OF good birth aud educa.
lion, the-sOn Of Slay gentleman, OF
large estate, who is loyal 10 the Car.
Young MokrleyItch, however, became
Socialist at college, aud began 10
make proselytes by issuing pamphlet.
He was arrested and sentenced 10
fourteen years. penal seryltude in the
mines at Siberia. In July, 1879, he
was sent with other prisoners to Mini
Noygorod by boat,to proceed in chains.
Mokrieyitch and other cOmrade, soon
after the gang took up its weary march,
hired two ordinary cOnylcls to exchange
clothes with them. The convicPs sen.
tence was for life, hence they were the
gamers by the bargain /; but as they
were not so closly watched as political
prisoners, the Socialists bought with
perpetual exile a better chance of es.
cape.
At length they did escape. One dled
of hunger in the snow. NJ. Mokricvitch
was pursued BY Bouryats sent after
him-a barbaric tribe, with the keen
scent and brutal instincts of blood
hounds. They followed him several
hundred miles through the terrible
wastes OF the Chinese frontier, through
the SHOWS OF winter.
His journey began in November,
1879, and only ended May. 1881, when
he reached Switzerland, after having
Travelled four thousand miles on foot.
Excepting one, it is stated this is the
only State prisoner that ever escaped
from Siberia.
When we compare this true story, on
Que hand, with that OF the Car, a
prisoner for months in his palace at
Peterhoi, feariug assassination at every
band, we have two black llnes which
may serve as a frame to the picture Of
Russia.

A Cool Detective.

As rule, highwaymen in the mining
states seldom operate upon q stage
coach with u. S. M." on it. They
know that these initials stand for the
United States mail, and are a pledge
that the whole power Of the government
will be used to capture them.
The detectives 10 the government SER
vice are quie. men, courteous iu manner
aud gentle in speech. Mr.. Hayes tells,
in his book on "New Colorado of one
whom he met, who wore gold specta.
cles, and looked like a German profess
or. Yet this man alone took two mail
robbers from the north 10 Texas. At
one place their friends planned res
cue. He quietly informed his prisoners
that, while their friends could undoubt-
edly kill him, they might be sure that
the first motion would send both of them
into eternity. Not man in the crowd
moved finger.
On one occasion, q celebrated detec-
tive was on stage which was attacked
by tSo masked men. The first he
knew was that two revolyers were
thrust in tue cOach's window, with the
command 'lIands up, gentlemen %
The highwaymen had "the drop" on
the passengers, which, In their yocabu-
larry, meant the certainty Of being able
to kill before being harmed themselves.
To his disgust, the detective was COM
pelled to give up his watch and mon.
ey.
AS the robbers left, he put his hand
down in the boot" aud TO his delight
it touched a carbine. Asking the dri-
yer to 90 On a little farther and then
stop and wait for him, went back
alone.
The two men, nnsuspicious Of danger
were "diyvying up'' the spoils 10 the
middle Of the road. This was just what
the detective had calculated on.
Now. you scouadrels, it's my turn,'
he shouted, covering them with the re.
peating carbine. Throw up your
hands, or I'll shoot"
The robbers, at bis command, stepped
one side, holding I'd their hands, while
he picked up their revolyers. 1t was
not many minutes before the astonished
passengers saw the two highwaymen
walking meekly down the road, with the
cool detective following. They were
taken in the coach and finally lodged in
Jail.
The hero was General Charles Adams,
who subsequently, went alone among the
Ut.s and secured the release of the wo-
men captiyes hom the White River
Agency.

The Postal Card.

The originator Of the idea is said TO
have been a German State official. DR..
stephan, who wrote an essay upon it in
1865. Austria was the first to adopt
it, beginning in October, 1869. The
first three months witnessed the passage
of 9, ,930,e0 cards through the mails,
Germany followed suit in 1880, and on
the lrst day after the introduction oi
the postal card As, 4G8 were sent off in
Berlin alone and within two months
over 100000 were used. Other coun-
tries soon initiated the same step.
During the Franco-Prussian war the
postal-card system was great boon to
both armies. Over 100000 cards
passed during the campaign between
the German soldiers and their friends
and homes. The greatest proportional
consumption Of postal cards occurs un-
questionably in the United States. The
whole of Europe is estimated 10 use
annually $50, 100000, while the con-
sumption in the United States alone
will probably not fall short of go, ,OOO,-
900. Germany consumed in 1879 l22,-
747,000. The use of the postal card is,
moreover, constantly increasing, and,
to some extent, at the expense Of the
letter correspondence. There are now
said to be seventy-three countries in
which 1t is introduced. Austria, which
has the honor OF FIRST putting the idea
into practical execution, Is now said to
have cards of the poorest material and
most inconveneut form.

Pearls OF Thought.

Strive for the best, aud provide
against the worst.
Peoples intentions can only be de-
cided by their conduct.
Be graceful if you can bu. If you
can't be graceful, be true.
He who throws out suspicion should
at once be suspected h,mself.
An effort made for the happiness OF
others lifts US above ourselves.
There is always room for mau OF
iorce, and be makes room for many.
There is a past which ls gone forever.
But there Is a future which is still our
own.
There arc few occasions when cere-
moaey may not 5s dispensed with kind.

Argument IN company is generally
the worst sort Of conversation. and in
books the worst Of reading.

The american Newspaper Reporter
pives the following sound advice:
1--WE have a piece of advice which we
wish to impress firmly and indelibly
upon the public mind, and that is, to
give the printers fair play. Do not for
get that it costs something to puff as
well as to advertise; never sponge on a
printer in any way whatever. 1t is the
printers ink that makes nine-tenths OF
our fortunes; it takes money to buy ink,
type and paper, and yet, after all this,
few are the thanks that the printer gets.
Give the printer fair play, and give up
all hopes of gratuitous putting. Daniel
Webster was mighty near right when
he remarked of the press, small is the
sum required to patlonize newspaper;
amply rewarded are its patrons. care
not how humble and unpretending the
gazette which he takes, it is next to
impossible to fill it out without putting
into it something that is worth the sub
scription price,"

BIDS AND BILLS.

The charge made by our morning
contemporary that the APPEAL put IN
bills against the county for 200 blanks,
when but 500 were printed, is true. The
work was double blank, not specified in
the contract. The bids put in were all
on the basis Of 1000 blanks. For two
wears past Robinson's bills against the
State for blanks were always made out
on the basis of 900 copies or over,
when but 100 were furnished, he hold
inc that he had right to charge for
/ 900, and urging the claim so persist
emily that the Board of Capital Com
missioners allowed the bills in every
instance. When similar bills from the
APPEAL Office were presented the same
course was followed, and the attention
of the County Commissioners called to
the fact that the State had established
such precedent. The Board, after
celebrating Oh the matter for month,
decided that the State had established
bad precedent, which the county
would not follow, and the bills were
allowed pro rata, Mr.. Robinson's bills
were cut down by the county because
he attempted to charge for half sheets,
when he had used less than quarter
sheets. It is somewhat significant that
the only explanation he makes of the
matter is to charge the APPEAL with
making out bills, in one instance, on the
same principle that his were made out
for two years-and allowed, he inform
ing the Board that it was perfectly legIt-
innate
