A newspaper is 8 peculiar COM
modify. II is not like = pound of
nails or 3 bushel of salt. People
don't stop around to find out where
they can save 3 cent on a newspa-
per, but they buy the one that
suits them best even though they
have to pay more for it. They find
out pretty soon whether they get
the value received or not, and
hence, live, enterprisiag paper is
never required to resort to such
shoddy schemes as to reduce it's
price to secure the patronage of the
intelligent public. 1t is only the
sleepy, badly managed and worth
less papers that are driven to such
extremities. And let me say one
more word, and that is, the readers
who would buy a poor paper simp-
ly because it could be obtained 8
trifie cheaper than good one would
be of little advantage to advertisers
Liberal mindsd and intelligent peo.
pie, who buy according to theil
judgement aud knew the difference
between the legitimate wares anC
absolute trash, are the class o.
readers that the liberal advertiser
wishes to reach, and he is generally
shrewd enough to reach them.-Ex

Certainly some of the British
peers are entitled to credit for their
conduct in the Soudan campaign.
Lord st. Vincent fought gallantly
at Abu Klea and died from wounds
there received. Lord Airle was
twice wounded in two successive
fights. Lord Cochrane, lately be-
come Lord Dundonald, distin
guIshed himself near Metemneh
and managed to escape unscratchsd.
Wolseley is . baron of only two
years ago creation, and as he has
no heir apparent to his title he is
evidently taking good care of it.
At all events, he has not been near
enough as yet to any fighting to Sc
riously endanger either his noble
title or his lease of life. The off
GERS bertha in the British army are
full of noblemen, and as with brig
adler generals in our own volunteer
army, it would be difficult to 90
much shooting without now and
then hitting one of 'em. But some
of the noblest of the noble men are
in the rank and file of the British
army, though their names are not
subjects of special mention.-Ex.

A Word to Mothers.

Is there q more responsible posi-
tion on earth than the one of moth
erhood? In all earnestness We
would ask this question of every
mother and would have her take il
into serious consideration, whether
she is fulfilling her duties as queen
of the household and the layer OF
the foundation stone of the great
temple of humanity.
Is she making herself strong and
healthy in body and mind, So that
she may give her children their
rightful inheritance of sound minds
in healthy bodies? Is she studying
hygiene so that she may rear her
children in accordance with the
laws of health?
Is she studying q good moral
code so that she may implant
germs Of truth, honesty and virtue
in the tender mind that is to grow
as she bends it and be formed af-
ter the model of her own self,
which Is ever before it as a guide
and standard of perfection? Does
she comprehend the fact that any
dereliction from the straight line
of truth and honor will be copied
by the little miniature edition Of
herself?
If she deceiTes or sWerves from
square truthfulnesS, the child with
it's quick perception and earnest
imitativeness will surely become
untrue in its nature. II the mother
is low, coarse and vulgar, the child
will not become refined, good and
gentle. If she uses incorrect, Hn-
grammatical language, her child |
will not talk correctly; years of cul- |
ture in schools will fail to eradi-
cate early home training, because
1t is there the foundation is laid Of
all the future structure.
Let our mothers be wise, good
and learned; they above all others
need to study and learn all they
can, for they are the first teachers
md natural guide of the young.
Perhaps many a weary, over
worked woman may say she has
40 time to read, tn study or to learn.
But she must take the time, let her
work less in variety, sew less and
10 less of other unimportant work;
| neat, clean house is always desir-
Ible, but = neat, clean mind more

covered with experience and scars
where the skin has been knocked
of and had grown on again. To
the young a dollar looks large and
strong, but to the middle aged and
the old it Is weak and inefficient.
When we are in the heyday and fizz
of existence, we believe everything,
but after a while we murmur,
"What's that you're givin' u.s." or
words of q like character. Age
brings caution and a lot of shop
worn experience purchased at the

vain regrets and wisdom teeth that
can be left IN glass of water over

Science proposes now to relieve
sheriffs of the execution Of crimi-

prisoner condemned to die in a
chair with his head fastened to a

the lightning is made to flash, at

In his letter to the amateur jour

some sage advice regarding the
starting Of newspapers. Says he;
If he starts 3 newspaper In q
town where nobody wants a paper;
Or, where there are already five
papers in q two paper town;
Or, if long primer man tries to
start q nonpariel paper;
Or if he try to run an eight col
umn paper on a two column basis;
Or, if he skin his home adyertis-
ers and cut rates for foreign ads;
Or, if he start cut by by giving q
So puff for q 10 cent comb;
Or, if he start q paper because he
has failed at everything else;
Then, indeed, hath he bitten off
more than he can masticate, and his
paper, beloved by the gods, will
die young and fresh.

Some years ago the Tennessee
legislature numbered among its
members q fellow who never lost an
opportunity of making a speech.
He was not content with simply
stating his views, but on the slight
est provocation would deliver a
long, tiresome and senseless speech.
The house naturally wearied efthis,
and whenever he rose to speak the
members would inagurate an ami
mated conversation, hoping by that
means to drown his voice. In or
der to make the speaker hear him,
therefore, he would move down the
aisle close to the speakers stand.
William Polk, a brother of the ex-
president, and at that time one of
the greatest wits in in the state, de-
termined to break him if possible.
One day this fellow, as was his Gus
tom, took his position near the
speaker, to whom he confidently ad-
dressed himself, and while the house
was in a hub-bub, Polk arose to the
point of order. The assembly knew
that something bright was coming,
for from the source nothing else
ever emanated. Estate your point
OF order" said the speaker. my
point of ORDER" repeated Polk, sis,
that it is contrary to the rules of
the house for a member to carry on

speaker while the assembly is in
session" Laughter and confusion
followed, but Polk cured his pa
