Mr.. John Greig, who, for the session
commencing in 16i1, represented the
Canandaigua District in Congress- (in
place of Francis Granger, who resigned
to accept the office of Postmaster Cen
eral), was q well preserved Scotchman,
as we'll in purse as Ia person. and very
fond Of entertaining in q princelY man
ner. He had invited q small f'dinner
party in order to entertain q Scotch
friend who had but recently arrived in
America. The hour named had fully
come and passed, but the honOred guest
had not. Mr., Greig became uneasy
and nervous, for the servants had long
since reported the courses ready for
serving. He went out on the porch
and looked down the avenue to seeif he
could get a SIGHT of his friend, when, lOI
there comes SANDY much as e he
had hundred pounds or so upon his
shOulders-in fact, he was q sheet or
two in the wind, as it were. Greig
took in the situation at once, and hast
ening down the avenue, met tho happy
guest, and readily got him beneath his
roof Although Sandy was glorious,
his mental powers wereyet steady He

The enormous emigration from
the British Islands to the United
States has been seriously discussed
at several public meetings of late.
tits said that emigration has been
going on for several years at the
rate of 10000 per annum. Many
English industries are dying out.
The watch trade in Clerkenweu is
one of them. Very few watchmak-
ers there have done a full days work
for the last three years.

A Paris correspondent writes: What
mystery is the Cars connection with
the Princess DolgOuroUki! And the
mystery continues to enshrOud her now
after his death. The news we get
through the journals is mostly manu-
factured. She has never left Russia,
and some Russians will say calmly that
she has gone mad. 1t appears, also,
now, that she was never married to the
Emperor. All the pretty scenes with
the present Empress were fabricated, as
we'll as the story Of the marriage, in
order to promote such an event, for it
was hoped through her influence he
might be persuaded to abdicate. If the
Princess DolgOurOUki cares for life and
Tor the position of widow Of the dead
Emperor, she can have it, but on hard
conditions. The reported marriage
will be made true by q decree Of Alex
ander III. If she viii consent to 90 into
exile with her children. Not an open,
avOwed exile, but a virtual one. She
will be sent to one Of those wild, desert,
Eastern provinces of the FOlga, in
habited only by wandering tribes Of
udl-StFh9Co VI " LAS 5AOOlHJ AO7LOA2
of the Ural. A great palace will be
built for her, and She will have q court
about her, all the luxury and splendOr
she may desire, but far away from civ
ilization; and every grandeur that sur
rounds her VIII be hollow and meaning
less. Is life worth having on such
terms to such a woman? If she refuses
this offer. she will die In q madhOuse;
although she may be as sane as you
and ], and her children viii also dis
disappear.

Advertisements as a Newspaper Feature

Advertisements as a Newspaper Feature
Albany Press.
Good, fresh advertisements are not
the least and interesting and valuable
portion Of a newspaper. We have been
told that a prominent New York Jour-
naIist hoped to see the day when the
profits on the circulation of his paper
would be so large that he could dis
pense with advertising altogether. We
think he is mistaken in his opinion Of
advertising in newspapers. Advertise
ments are news. They tell the readers
what they want to know-where goods
can be bought, what they are sold for,
who has houses to rent Orsell, who wish
es to purchase real estate, where en-
plOyment and labor can be obtained,
and n thousand other things that they
wanted to know. 1t is an error to sup
pose that only the editors and reporters
supply news worth reading. The skill
full advertiser furnishes q good share of
it, and if there are any readers who fail
to look over the advertising columns Of
their paper, they miss good deal Of in
formation that would prove valuable to
them.
