MAGAZINES for Binding.

If magazines are to bo bound. it is better
to nave them untrimnled so that the margins
in tho bound volume may be as wide
MS possible. The binder has to shave
off til, edges to make them even when he
binds the book, and if they have already
been trimmed once by the magazine binder,
there is likely to be little margin left. Even
even if the magazines are not to be bonnd,
most subscribers prefer them uncut. Many
people like to cut tho leaves with n paper
knife as they read.-The Writer.

DELINQUENT OFFICERS.

ColOnels of the Third and Seventh
Regiments Called TO Account.
General orders No. IA, N. G. c., from
the Adjutant- Generals Office at Sacra-
mento, devote considerable space to the
Third and Seventh Regiments. Speak
ing Of the Third Regiment they say:
That regiment will be permitted to
draw no more money from the State
Treasury until missing papers are re-
ceived at these headquarters. Colonel
Tobin should have seen to it, that those
papers were forwarded long ago, or, if
he is too i'll to attend to it, he should
rank and take another sick leave. This
Office considers the prompt rendering of
accounts and other official papers the
most important as an officers duties, and
the State can dispense with the service of
any officer or organization that cannot
find time to render the few required in
the State military service. The same re-
marks apply to the Seventh Infantry,
commanded by Colonel Russell, which
is delinquent for the following papers !:
Company "A," demands for quarterly
and annual allowances, and account
current; all the companies, except Com
pany "B," for property return, head
quarters for demand, account current
and property return. This delinquency
will cause loss to the organization, for
the money in the general fund is about
exhausted, and when the accounts are
audited they will have to take warrants,
which will not be cashed before about
next February.

Colonel, Kindly Arise and Crack
This Big One.
EDITORS HERALD-I have just read in
this mornings Tribune short editorial
leaderette as follows:
"The home market, about which pro-
tectionist newspapers and orators are al
ways talking is worth $4,000, ,OOo, 900 q
year. That market in all it's richness
is now enjoyed principally by the work
ingman of the United States. Shall he
resign it to enrich the pauper labor OF ar
is:ocracy cursed Europe? The Republi-
can party say mol"
Now, if this be true ] would like to ask
the editor of the Tribune what has be-
come OF my share of this eight thousand
million dollars it 30 glibly talks about?
The population of the United States in
round numbers is sixty millions, COM
posed OF men, women and children thus
each individuals share is somewhat over
one hundred and thirty dollars.
To my sorrow, know that my income
from that market in all it's richness dur.
ing the past year has been under five
dollars. 1, therefore, would feel ex-
csedingly obliged to the editor of the
Tribune if he would kindly inform me
who has pocketed the balance. Are the
sinners to be found in that host of Re-
Publican monopolists who fatten upon
the toll of the workingman, and are at
tsmpting to gull the people by sophisti-
cal cry of protection? Yours etc.,

THE ODD FELLOWS.
Notes With Reference to the Com

Notes with Reference to the Com
ing Encampment.
Arrangements for the encampment of
the Odd Fellows next month are pro.
crossing favorably. The committee has
succeeded in obtaining the Pavilion as
well as the Turnverein Hall, Odd Fell
lows hall and Armory hall, for the week
commencing September 18th. The the
atrical company which had engaged the
Pavilion has consented to postpone its
performances for q week. Letters from
those expecting to come are arriving
daily, and the committee on rooms has
its hands full in providing accommoda-
tions for the visitors. The committee
has been trying to effect an
arrangement with the Southern Paci.
ic whereby the rates of fare from
the northern part of the State will be
just one-half of what they are at present.
1t is expected that this arrangement will
be effected, and if it is, it is thought that
fully 5000 more people will come from
that part of the State. The railroad
companies state that their carrying ca
pacities will be taxed to the utmost to
uIlus oNoIyUOu AoIo tAot uoclIo w COuc,
and it is stated that arrangements have
been made to land 5000 people here in
one day. The programme for the ex-
cursions has as yet not been arranged,
and there are several other matters
which will not be announced until a
later date, at present occupying the at
tention of the committee. The last meet
ing of the committee was not very
largely attended owing to the absence Of
several members from the city.

The quality Of our ice is superior to nat
ural ice in purity. The water of which it is
made is taken from a deep driven well, is
first boiled, then filtered, and thus is abso-
lutely free from all impurities. 1t is frozen
evenly and solid, and will last 25 per cent.
longer than natural ice. Actual tests will
always prove this, and scientific men have
long ago demonstrated and now admit il.
We are now prepared to furnish resi-
denCes, and on application by postal card or
otherwise, our canvasser will visit and ar
range for delivery, 1t should be generally
taken, so we can have paying routes. By

FAILED TO FILL HIS ENGAGEMENT.
Polk, the Comedian, Refuses to Play to Low
Prices at EngliShs.

Mr.. Joseph B. Polk was expected to begin a
three nights engagement at Ell glish's last night
but the patrons of the theater who went there
were told that the engagement was off, and the
money refunded to such as had bought
seats in advance Mr.. Folks contract with
Manager Talbot, to play this engagement. was
made in the regular FORM and signed by his
manager the usual condition being put in, that
he should play under such regulations and re-
strictions as prevailed at this theater. His bust
ness manager, Mr.. Meadow, was in the city sew
eral days last week arranging for the engage.
ment. and everything went along in the usual
way. Manager Dickson says. until yesterday,
when he received dispatch from Polk himself
saying he would not play at Englishs. unless the
regular house prices there were doubled for his
engagement. Mr.. Talbot, who was out Of town,
notified by telegraph, and answered that
Polk must fulfill his engagement in
also insisted on this. '.Poiks demand was uu-
reasonable and extortionate." said Mr. Dickson,
in speaking of the matter last night. 1--WE had
advertised him at popular prices and did not
propose TO practice deceit upon patrons by
advertising price and charging another.
We try to give attractions at prices that are
reasonable, and Mr.. Polk lad no right to do
anything but play after the contract was closed
for him to play at English's." The upshot of
the whole matter was that neither Mr. Polk nor
his company put in an appearance yesterday,
and the house was closed in consequence and
will remain closed the rest of the week
