that 1 not only did not know, but that never
even suspected Mr.. Julian Hawthorne's pur.
pose In visiting me; indeed, 1 should have

self TO be entrapped into any; nor do under.
stand that he controverts my positive state
inent, for he could not, but only that he en-
deavors TO weaken Ats force by inference and

The following from the Winfield
Courier is respectfully submitted
without comment: In the history
of all newspapers it is seen that
there have been fools who get on
their ear at odd spells and stop their
paper. If these people were not
overwise in their own conceit, they
would put their finger in the river
and pull it out and see what effect
it had. The individual who vainly
lmagines that paper cannot sur
vive without his support, ought to
go away from the city awhile.
When he returns he will find that
nine-tenths of his friends did not
know he had gone, and the other
tenth did not care q cent. We
know and hope some of our pat
rons will find things IN the Courier
they cannot endorse. Even the
Good Book hits trifle hard some
times. To get mad and burn your
Bible would not mend matters or
hurt the publishers. The same way
with an editor. You may call him
all sorts of ugly names, and the
paper would still be out on time.
And what is less to your credit
you would sneak around every
night and borrow q copy of your
ncighbor. 1t is safest and best to
keep your vest pulled down and
your subscription paid up if you
can't afford to pay IL ahead. These
arc ''seeds of kindness" we desire
to scatter everywhere.

An English naturalist remarks
that it is sad reflection that while
the turbot lays Ii, 100000 eggs, not
moro than one on an average ever
reach maturity. In fish generally
it takes yearly at least IOG, 900 eggs
for each individual, to keep up the
average of the species. In frogs
and anphibIans a few hundred are
amply sufficient. Reptiles often
lay u much smaller number. In
birds which hatch their own eggs
and feed their young, from ten TO
twelve eggs are quite sufficient to
replenISh the earth. Among man.
mails, three or four at a birth is a
rare number, and many of the lar
ger sorts produce one calf or foal
at time only. In the human race
at large total of five or six chill
dren for each marriage couple dur
ing a whole lifetime makes up
sufficiently for infant mortality mnd
all other sources of loss, thou gh
among savages far higher rate is
usually necessary. In England an
average of four and halt children
per family suffices to keep the pop
ulatIOn stationary.
