against the State Of Missouri for $4,000.
Plaintiff alleges that the building, be-

was worth $1,000 ; but that visitors to
the scene Of the murder anxious TO

The Inauguration of the werk of
piercing the isthmas of Corinth was
celebrated with great pemp. The first
pickaxe stroke was given by the King
of Greece himself; aud a silver wheel
barrow filled with earth and wheeled
away by the monarch's hands. The
queen pressed an electric button which
sprang ferty blasts prepared in the

course and a memorial stone was
erected. An accident resulting in the
death of three police agents by drown
ing %dampened the joy of the festivities.

have even tried tbut have given it upI double
strong with immense bookings of wood, and
still most of the Upright Pianos have not
proved satisfactory for this reason: That the
Tuning Pins in all of hem are placed into a
wooden plank which is wedged up to the iron
plate, and which, at every change of weather,
will shrink or swell, thus causing the piano to

One of the confessed wrongs that the
Missouri publishers have undertaken
to put right, so far at least as they can
do 80 Ivy gesolUing, to make foreign adj
vertisers pay as high rates AS do their
fellow townsmen. The injustice of
charging your next-deor ueighbor more
than a man "a thousand miles away, for
exactly the same service, is too mani
fest to be disputed. Nevertheless this
practice has obtained among country
publishers frem time immemoriaI, and
the custom is too deeply seated, we
fear, to be easily eradicated. That the
Missouri Press Association has official
ly set it's condemnation upen the prac
lice is something, 1t may at least tend
to disabuse the mind of the average
publisher Of the lleresy that every thing
he gets from foreign advertisers is $50
much clear gain" no matter how small
the price may be.-Publishsrs' Auxi-

Deadheads in newspapers.

1t ia we'll said by Forney's Progress
that in proportion to the expense in
volved in its preparation no article is
so cheaply supplied as the newspaper.
It's cost to it's readers is as near moth
ing as it could we'll be, and to make a
living profit to its owners it must look
elsewhere for a revenue than to its
subscription list. That in many es-
adjustments is a positive loss, regarded
by itself, but the circulation attracts
the advertiser, aud the advertiser fur
nishes the sinews of war. To get the
advertiser you must first get tho circu-
lation, and to get the circulation you
must give the people a paper that will
interest and please them. Every line
which a newspaper publishes for any
other reason than that it's editor thinks
it contains something the people wish
to know, is more or leBs an injury to
him, because it occupies space which
otherwise would be filed with matter
which would aid in building up or re-
tanning the popularity of his journal.
To this must be added the cost of put
ting the puff" in type and the other
OUTLAWS it requires. The wise .newspa-
per proprietor limits the number of
columns to which he will admit adver.
tisements. or increases his columns to
accommodate a rush, knowing that to
crswd the reading matter, though it
may temporarily make happy the heart
of his cashier, means speedy and per
mauent ruin. Yet, there is not a news
paper in the country that does not give
away in the course of the year many
columns of it's valuable space-a trite
but true expression !; and than
that, places these gratis notices in posi-
tious which the money of the legiti.
mate advertiser. paid down over the
~counter, could not buy.

How Alligators hat.
An alligator's throat is an ANNA

An alligator's throat is an animated
sewer. Everything which lodges in
his mouth goes down. He is a lazy
dog, and instead of hunting for some
thing to eat, he lets his victuals hunt
for him. That is, he lies with his
mouth open, apparently dead, like the
"possum." Soon a bug crawls into it,
then a fly, then several gnats and col
ony of mosquitoes. The alligator
doesn't close his mouth yet. He is
waiting for a whole drove of things.
He does his eating by the Wholesale.
A little later a lizard will cool himself
under the shade Of the upper jaw.
Then a frog will hop up to catch the
mosquitoes. Then more mosquitoes
and gnats will light on the frogs. FL
nally a whole village of insects and
reptiles settle down for an afternoon
picnic. Then, all at once, there is an
earthquake. The big jaw falls, the
alligator blinks one eye, gnlps down
the entire m~enagerie, and opens his
great front door again for more visitors.
