TO COUNTY OFFICERs.-Tbe new law
regulating legal advertising has cut prices
down so low, that while we propose To com
plv with the law, others must do the same,
and we must insist that in every case the
printers fee must be collected and PAID ID
advance. This gives less trouble. The
law fixes the rates as follows: For each

cents for each insertion for the first four in

thirtv-five cents for each one hundred

Formation Of Character.

We do not sufficiently appreciate the
value of pressure in the formation OF
character. "a child left to himself
bringeth his mother to shame" says the
inspired proverb. And all of us are, in
The best qualities which any of us pos
sess have been given to us. or have been
made effective in us, through some such
outside or inside pressure as child

keep him from growing to worthless
ness, or going to ruin. There is moth
ing that any of us can do exceptionally
well that we were not somehow forced
into, or trained into, by severe pressure.
All our powers of endurance also came
to us in that way. We learned to en-
dure by having to endure, whether we
wanted to or not. If we had been left
to ourselves in our misunderstanding
and training, we also should have
brought our mothers, or our mother S
children, to shame. There is nothing
we have more reason to be grateful for
than the pressure which in one way or
another has been brought TO bear upon
us for the compacting and right hard
ening of our characters. Why, now-a-
days they are actually making railroad
car wheels out of paper; pressing pulp
into a strength of resistance and endur-
ance that even itself can not equal. But
for that pressure the pulp would have
remained pulp-useless, unattractive
pulp. Because of that state the COM
pacted and solidified pulp has become a
power, and obtained mission, in the
world. Many strong character was
only pulp to begin with, and but for a
providential pressure upon it, it would
have remained pulp to this day. And
there is still great deal of character
pulp which will never amount. to any
thing unless it comes under stronger
pressure than has ever been brought to
bear upon it thus far. Pressure upon
us is the last thing in the world we
ought to think of regretting-unless,
indeed, we want to remain pulp

Temperance Pledge Advertisement.

Men who have so weakened their
will by indulgence in drink that they
can not be certain of their own promises
might do worse than to call in the aid
of their wives to siren gthen their feeble
resolution We find noted in foreign
journal an instance in-which a woman
of Pesth, Hungary, has endeayored to
exercise more than "local control
over her worser half in the matter of
his drinking habits. In newspaper of
that city there recently appeared an
advertisement which excites our COM
mendation as well as our wonder.
1t bears the heading: This is printed
to please my wife," and goes on thus:
II the undersigned, declare that in
future | will never set foot in cafe,
wine shop, or beer house, and beg my
friends or acquaintances never to invite
me to frequent these places of perditiOn.
In token of my good faith and earnest
resolution continues the advertiser,
II authorize any one who may meet
with me in any of the establishments
alluded to to claim fine of fifty horins,
which shall be handed over to some
charitable institution"
The advertisement is duly signed by
the husband, who evidently is not want
ing in a certain sort of courage. He is
ready to run the risk of being derided
as henpecked husband rather than the
peril of falling into the drunkard's folly
again. The mans appeal to his COM
rades not TO entice him to wrong-do-
ing, and his declaration that self-im-
posed fine is to be exacted for every
backward slip, have deep pathos
which almos tevery one will appreciate.
And we heartily wish that the waver-
ing purpose of the repentant drunkard
could be more frequently confirmed by
the vicarious substitution of woman's
strength of will.-Uiaion Signal.

Eject Of Alcohol on the Heart.

| DR.. N. Il. Richardson, of London, the
noted physician, says he was recently
able to convey considerable amount
of conviction to an intelligent scholar
by simple experiment. The scholar
was singing the praises of the Ruddy
| Bumper" and saying he could not get
through the day without it, when DIR.
Richardson said to him:
"Will you be goodenough TO feel my
pulse as | stand here?'
He did. so. / said: Count it care
fully! what does it say?''
Your pulse says seventy-four." !
then sat down in a chair and asked him
to count it again. He did so, and said:
"Your pulse has gone down to seventy"
l then laid down on the lounge and
said: "Will you take it again?''
He replied: "Why, it is only sixty
four; what an extraordinary thingr'.
then said: "When you lie down at
night that is the way nature gives your
heart rest. You know nothing about it,
but that beating organ is resting to that
extent; and if you reckon it up it is a
great deal of rest. because in lying down
the heart is doing ten strokes less a
minute. Multiply that by sixty, and it
is six hundred; multiply it by eight
hours, and within a fraction it is five
thousand strokes different; and as the
heart is throwing six ounces of blood at
every stroke it makes difference of
thirty thousand ounces of lifting during
the night. When l lie down at night
without any alcohol, that is the rest my
heart gets. But when you take your
wine or grog, you do not allow that rest,
for the influence of alcohol is to increase
the number of strokes, and instead of
getting this rest, you put on something
like fifteen thousand extra strokes, and
the result is you rise up very seedy and
unfit for the next days work until you
have taken a little more of the 'ruddy
bumper, which you say is the soul of
man below" His friend acknowledged
that this was perfectly true. He began
to reckon up these figures, and found
what it meant, lifting up an ounce so
many thousand times, and the result
vas, he became total abstainer, with
evers benefit to his health, and, as he
admits, to his happiness. | would like
those who take stimulants to give them
rest, just to take the opposite side of the
question into consideration, and see how
the two positions tit together.-NGti0naL

Opposed TO Amy and All Restrictions.

The irreconcllable opposition of the
saloon-keepers to every kind of sub;ec-
ton to law and regulation in the inter-
est of society is fully set forth in the an
nual report of the Board of Trustees to
the convention of the State Salo0n-keep-
ers' Association at Quincy. This adj
dress not only recounts the struggle
against the Harper law, but conveys an
intimation of the purpose to break down
all other legislation designed to keep
the liquor traffic within the bounds of
public decency. Resentment is ex-
pressed toward the law prohibiting the
sale of liquors to minors, as well as to
Local Option and the License laws. It
is clear that the saloon-keepers are not
disposed to tolerate any interference
which places their traffic upon differ
ent footing from that of any other busi-
ness. 1t is well that the public has
authoritive notice of all this, for it
shows that the saloon-keepers are utter
ly unreasonable and propose to resist
every lawful means that may be taken
to compel them to contribute their
share of revenue for the support of local
government or to restrain the ex-
cessess and evils necessarily incident to
the liquor traffic.
But it is the uncompromising and un-
reasoning hostility of saloon-keepers to
all restrictive legislation which deserves
special attention from the public. This
policy is sufficient notice that the as
sent of those engaged in the liquor
traffic can never be secured to any meas
ure necessary for the protection of So
ciety against the abuses of the traffic.
They do not protest against the
Harper law because they believe it
to be oppressive, but because it is
in the nature of regulation. They
are not willing that small suburban
town, where women and children are
deprived through the day of the pro-
lection of the male members of the
family, shall be permitted to prohibit
the public sale of liquor. They fret
even under the law which is intended to
save the youth of both sexes from be-
ing debauched and ruined merely in
order to- put few nickels into the sa-
loon-keeper's till. When they avow
all this their outcry against the License
law loses its force, and the only trouble
is that the position they take is almost
a justification for the extreme hostility
and attempt at determination urged by
the Prohibitionists. - Chicago Tribune,

A GREAT LAND SALE.-A year ago
the State Legislature of Texas ceded a
portion of the State known as the "Pan
Handle" " comprising 1900, 900 acres, to
syndicate composed of c. B. Farwell,
J. V. Farwell, Abner Taylor and A.
G. Babcock, in consideration of the
erection by the company of Capitol
building for the State, in Austin, to
cost 81 800, 900, thus fixing the value of
the land at fifty cents per acre. A
London syndicate has just been given
the refusal of the entire tract until
April Is, and the sale is declared vir-
tually concluded. The price, it is
stated, is S10,OO0,OOO. The tract is
5000 square miles and comprises the
northern arm of the State, and is de-
clared to be rich in arabic and growing
lands. 1t is watered and timbered to
such degree as to have attracted three
English syndicates, who sent agents
across the water to purchase it. The
last agent made two propositions-to
rent the privilege of grazing stock or to
buy the land outright. The sale was
closed on the latter proposition, on con-
dition that the first payment be placed
to the credit of the Chicago owners, in
the Bank of England, on the date
named.
