Woman in Fiction.

1t is women who write most of the
English and American novels, though
men still ply that industry, and it IS
women who are most popular In their
novels. What has sold so well as I'm
Gle Tom ?" Who in France was read
so much as George Sand? or in En-
gland as Charlotte Bronte and George
Eliot? or in Sweden as Fredrika Bre-,
mer? or in America as Miss Alcott?
or pow in all countries as Mrs. Ward?
No wonder that these great successes
and many others that could be named
tempt women to write many poor novels
and some good ones, the majority being
mediocre, however, or neither good nor
bad. But mediocrity in novel is now
much higher in quality than it used to
be, the novel-writing talent having
grown by cultivation, until the fourth
rate novelist can write better than any
but the first-rate author could fifty
years ago.-Sprinltield Republican.

~ Harrisonism has encountered
an unexpected obstacle under the
shadow Of the White House. a
majority of the Board of Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia
have announced their firm determin-
alton to refuse to make removals for
purely partisan reasons. They will
regard the laws and disregard the
pressure Of the Republican local
committee leaders. Carson and
Gleason, who respectively head the
white and the colored Republican
contingents in the District, are very
much outraged by the unexpected

*** Takers at a fair fail to add
good to its reputation. We were
opposed to their being admitted to
the grounds of the Edenton Agri-
cultural and Fish Fair but they
were and, in thus being privileged,
precedent only was followed. AT
every fair, heretofore, in our State
they have been found in abundance,
and believing that such good people
as had in charge the Fair at E. City
Weldon, Raleigh and other places
knew what they were doing, our peo-
pie followed PRECEDENT and admitted

Notwithstanding the fact that their

Xxx The Syracuse Courier de-
clares that President Harrison has
already succeeded in antagonizing
more Republican Senators and Rep
resentatives than any other President
during his entire term. The Presi-
dent has utterly Disguised the Re-
publican Congressman by his viola
ton of his pledges and promises and
by his shabby and contemptuous
treatment of the men who elected
him. More than a score of Repub-
lican Representatives have openly
expressed their contempt for the
President, and it is predicted that
this combination will play havoc with
Harrison's pet appointments when
they come up for confirmation.
There is fun ahead, and it will begin
when Congress meets.

apart Thursday, the 28th as a day
of National thanksgiving.
There is much in our material his
tory for which We ought to feel pro-
foundry thankful and there is consid-
Grafton in our peaceful possessions.
We have been free from pestilence
and famine and our harvests have
been comparatively abundant. To
those who have labored, adequate
recompense has been vouchsafe. In
the political condition of the country
there has been much to make us
ashamed but, this came not of God
nor of those who follow in His ways
to do them. 1t came of evil Gin tn e
permissive rulings of the Almighty
and such evil as IS found in the Re-
publican party. 1t came doubtless,
for ultimate good of the country
as a stimulus to the Demo-
cratic party which will cause
it to rise in its full power, in the next
national campaign, and put at the
head of government Cleveland or
a Hill. With all that has been po-
litically dep!orabIe, it might have
been worse with US and, therefore,

full that lit is as well with us as it isl.

A Nuisance.
JNo. c. BONn, Secty,


One Of the worst of nuisances is
The chap who's up at early dawn
Making the lawn mower ziziziziz,
Rasping the whiskers off the lawn.
The hateful whir
Of the fierce machine,
The buzz and the burr
Excite the spleen
Of the man whose sleep
Is driven away,
And with curses deep
He begins the day.
But the lawn mower chap
His arior whets,
And he's never SO hap
Ply as when he gets
Up close to the room
Where his neighbor lies
In the morning gloom.
With staring eyes,
And twists and turns
Till, half insane
At last he learns
IT'S all in vain.
He cannot sleep,
Ali hope Is dead.
And with q leap
He bounds from bed
Oh!
Ono Of the worst Of nuisances Is
The chap who's up at early dawn
Making the lawn mower ZiZiZiziZ,
Rasping the whiskers Of the lawn

injury to the individual?" But for this
care respectable newspapers get no credit
whatever. You do not know what goes
to the waste basket. If you did you
would revise your opinions. A news
paper should be judged as a man is. If
you know a man who is full of infor-
nation, whose mind is pure, and who
has common sense, he is always welcome
to you; but if he is vulgar and has
your contempt, you say he is not
trustworthy, and pass him by. Why not
apply the same test to the newspapers?
The true newspaper man hesitates long
before ne uses a paragraph which may
lnjure an individual or a business con-
Germ or any individual OF corporation en-
terprisa. He does not consider it his
mission to WELD the undoubted power of
his position even to crafty his individual
and private grudges, or to punish those
who have injured or attempted to injure
him. He considers his place as, in
sense, public trust, and so manages his
paper as to conserve the public interest.

Robert Stewart, of Petaluma, recently had q
queer experience. He writes:
'Carbuncle and boils afflicted my face and

of one of the leading sarsapsrfllas. To my
surprise 1t made matters worse. This made
me lose faith in ssrsaparillss, but seeing q
statement that joys Vegetable ssrsaparins
dried up boils and face eruptions instead Of
forcing more out as the potash sarsaparillas
do, bought bottle. Tie effect was aston

With the same benefit Robert STEWART,

Explanatory Note-The mineral iodide Of
potash, which Is the basis OF nearly all other
sarssparillas, attacks the blood direct, hence
forces impurities through the akin, creating
more boils and pimples. Joy'avegetable Sar-
ssparilla acts oppositely. It's vegetable alter
etives stimulate the various secretive organs
and thus eliminate all impurities through the
natural channels, hence dries u7 pimples and
skin eruptions at once. The above tsstimon-

A FEW REMARKS.

The county printing for this county is
at present done in st. Louis, Missouri.
This is believed to be unjust. It is GER
tainly uncaIled for. There are four job
printing offices in this city. We are not
acquainted with the resources of any but
our own, but can say that one is fully
equipped and prepared to do any work
required by any one in this county. These
four printing Offices have several thous-
and dollars invested. There are no other
four establishments in Astoria that pro-
portionately pay out SO much of their
earnings. Whatever they make over and
above actual expenses is invested in this
town, and taxed at its full value.
If man were to come here to start q
manufacturing establishment, giving en-
ployment to large number of persons
who spent their wages in the town, it
would be nothing out of the way for him
to ask subsidy; and many thousand
dollars have been given by enterprising
communities to manufacturing establish
ments not half SO deserving of it as a
newspaper and job printing Office.
Sending money to build up printing
establishments in st. Louis, is not the
way to build up similar home establish
ments, especially when they stand ready
to do the work just as good and just as
cheap as anywhere else.
This is the first time The AsToRIAS
has ever referred to this matter; and
even now, it only alludes to it incident
ally, and in accordance with its de-
clared policy of building up home in
dustries.
Personally, we don't care; THK AsTo
RIAN is not dependent on such crumbs Of
patronage, but in general it earnestl,
protests against such short sighted pol
icy, so manifestly opposed to the PLANES
dictates of mutual effort and business 90
operation.
One word more as to the business fair
ness of this proceeding. A few months
ago the proprietors of this establishment
were, in common with others, notified Il
put in a bid for county printing, blanks
etc, This We did, and being the loves
bidder the work was awarded to us. w,
refer to the official records for proof o
what is here courteously asserted. w,
have yet to see that work on which W,
bid, and which was awarded to US by tn,
county commissioners.
Is it going to st. Louis, Mo-?
You business men who read this, sup
pose that you made a similar contrac
and were similarly served; what woulC
you think about it? We refrain from
further comment.
