A CURE FOR NEWSPAPER BORROW
ERs.-An exchange offers the follow
ing as certain cure for the disease Of
newspaper borrowing: Immediately
upon receiving your paper, carefully
cut out some item--it makes no differ
chcc what it is. The borrowers boy
will come after the paper; he will take
it home, and in three minutes he will
scoot down the street to the newspaper
office and return with paper Of tho
same date as the one borrowed. BY
the time the clipped paper has circu-
lated among the female borrowers, the
street will be alive with hurrying
boys. Not one woman would sleep q
wink without knowing what The cut
item was. Next week pursue tho
same course, and similar results will
be had. In obstinate neighborhoods
these proceedings may go Oh three or
four weeks, but not t''longcr. The cure
is said to be infallible-in case of fe-
mala borrowers.

Jail Accommodations at Naples.

Charles Furey and Commissioner
Morrill, did not secure, as vet, very
fine quarters for prisoners at Naples.
From 10 to Is arrests are being made
there daily, on various charges, and
the offenders are ra,nmed into hole
in the ground, and guard kept over
them day and night, to prevent them
from climbing out. The only locks
about the structure are those on the
Winchester rifles of the guards, and
their orders are that any man seen
sticking his head out of the hole, in
tending to escape, is to be made an
object for rifle practice. The guard
fires every time prisoner pokes his
head out.
