LOSING real estate by displacement has hith-
erto been confined to mountainous regions,
where avalanches do their work of destructioB,
or to the borders of rivers, where the encfoaoA-
ing flood tears away the land. But now it seems
to be growing common for houses to disappear
midst of cities. Only a short time ago a young
man lost his hotel in New York and had to call
in the police TO help MIN recover it. AS it was
not lost, in the general sense of the term, they
succeeded i'll restoring it to him. him to it, as
the may be. And now comes a blarsted
Britisher who has lost his boarding house. He
recently arrived in Philadelphia, where he was
met by friend. Together they carried the i'm
migrants impedimenta to q boarding -house.
The next morning the stranger got up
early to take an airing and see what the town
looked like. When he thought of breakfast he
found that he could not find the house he had
left. Worse STILL he had forgotten his friends
name and address. AS about all his worldly
possessions were with his baggage, the distress
of The foreigner may be imagined. But all he
could remember was that the house had white
shutters and stone steps, This, OF course, was
no clew at ALL since about all the houses in the
town are thus provided. At last accounts he
thought of advertising, but whether TO say lost
house or lost man he did not know. If this

KATRINA and Sophia Schmidt have arrived at

months ago. Recently his wife, left in Germany,

the ship, giving in charge of the older child, as
she thought, purse containing the name and
address of the father. When the paper was in

fact that the children do not know their fathers

IN New York, according to the statements Of
Mr. John swinton, made before the labor conn
mittee. new paper men receive princely salaries,
the meanest tyro of a reporter looking with
scorn upon anything less than $50 or $50 a
week. 1t is different out in Colorado, if one may
judge from the remarks made by a correspond
ent of the Denver Tribune who has been making
professional visit to the State penitentiary. So
impressed was this hungry man with the APP
pearance of the boiled beef ana cabbage dealt
out to the convicts that he says, pantively 81
am sure if my brethren of the Colorado press knew
what u Eomelike institution we have at Carson,
life would not be such hopeless blank to some
of them" He gives it as his opinion, "founded
on observation and experience" that but a
small percentage of the journalistic profession
throughout the country find themselves at all
times able to sit down to such plenteous meals
these convicts. Growing pathetic, he ex-
claims:
"These men have good undertaking, cotton
for summer and wooden for winter. Their shirts
are washed every week. What poor newspaper
hack say as much2 They have the privilege
of hot and cold water baths. Can we poor dogs
ever battle except in the river2 They get good,
vals-meals that are well-cooKed and relishable.
How are we racked to purchase the miserable
privilege of sitting down to our grub In cheap
restaurant, where the apkins all starch, the
dishes ali Clipped, and the food has the taste of
being all cooked in one poJ."
The attention of the committee on labor and
education is called to this writer. Let them sum-
mon him, and have their ideas of the opuence
of new spaper men corrected.

LET every young man who wants TO open a
correspondence with some beautiful girl, "with
view to matrimony," carefully examine the
lining of his new hat. Young woman in a Con-
necticut hat factory, some months since, wasin-
spired with the happy idea of putting her name
and address on a card slipped inside the leather
lining of hat she was finishing. The purchaser
of this head covering wrote TO the factory girl,
and the correspondence resulted in wedding.
All the girls in all the hat factories at fol-
lowed the example of their former companion,
and now another wedding has taken place in
consequence. In the latter case the wearer of
the hat came from New Orleans to seek the
writer of the card and his fate.

Wiley p. Harris, Jr., second son
of Judge Wiley P. Harris, of Jack
son, died of pneumonia in st. Louis
on March 10Th, where he had been
for several months engaged in bust
ness. The deceased was the en-
bodim mt of worthiness. He was q
gentleman by instinct and in habits.
He was true friend to all who had
the least claim upon his friendship,
and as a companion, as diglified,
gentle, and refined as a woman. Few
young men the writer has known,
ever combined so many Of the quail
ties of excellence. 1t was most fit
that such life 81 ould be closed by
the hopeful Christian death which h
died. He sleeps in the family grave
yard at jackson. May your rest be
sweet, dear friend.

Beginning with the first issue Of TIE

Regularly to q number Of persons in Lin
coin, Lawrence, Copiah, Franklin and

cd it
All such persons have seen by this time
what the paper is and is likely to be. We
now request that all those who do not in
tend to become regular subscribers, will at
once drop us card or otherwise notify us
of the fact, anu the paper will be promptly
discontinued, though we hope to retain
them oil.
THE LEADER has established itself here
to become permanent institution of the
county, identified with all its interets; and
while we can afford to indulge few sub
seribers through the dull summer months
while money is scarce, it shall not be the
rule of this office to send out papers on a
credit. No publisher can long do business
upon such a basis and prosper.
We have received many encouraging
words since we began, ani we bellows we
are pleasing most of our readers. We do
not expect to please all Of them, nor any
Of them all the tim; but we wish every
body who will do so to subscribe, and
we will do our best to return value receiv-
ed. However, give us notice, as we have
requested, if you do not want the paper.
