Ind. II subscribers order the discontinnance
Of their periodicals, the publisher may continue

3rd. II subscribers neglect or refuse to take

they settle bills and give notice to discontinue.
ance.
4th. II subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and the paper
is sent 70 their former direction, they are held
responsible.
5tA. The courts have decided that refusing
70 take paper from the Office, or moving and
leaving it uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
Of intentional fraud.
9Th. Any person who receives newspaper
and makes use Of IT, whether he has ordered il
Or not, will be held in law to be subscriber.
7tb. II subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice to the publisher at
the end Of their time If they do not wish to con-
tinae taking it,; otherwise the publisher is au-
thorized to continue sending it, and the sub
scribers will be responsible until an express
notice, with payment Of all arrears, is sent to
the publisher.
9Th. The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest anyone for
fraud who takes paper and refuses to pay for
It. Under this law the man who allows his
subscription to run along for some time unpaid
and then orders II discontinued, or orders the
postmaster to mark II "refused," and have .
postal card sent notifying the publisher, leaves
himself liable to arrest and fine the same as
for theft.

UNCLE SAN As A PRisTEH.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16th.ln -
Representative Scott, of Illinois,
has introduced a bill prohibiting
the o,totlice Department from
selling a stamped envelope bear
ing The usual printed request for
return to the owner aflera limited
period. "Under the present law"
said Mr.. Scott, "lhe government
is a direct competitor, but il gives
itself a monopoly over every print
i ing Office in the country. The gov
ernment furnishes The envelopes
stamped and printed for the same
price as they are furnished without
the return card. This is an un-
warranted trespass by the govern.
ment upon The private business 0i
every printer in the United States.
If this is fair and legitimate, why
should The government 60 into the
business of printing deeds and
orlgagesg Why not make cotton
goods at cos, aud sell them 10 con.
sumersg Why not 60 into any
other branch OF private business
II cannot be seen why The printer
should be thus Disseminated
against. This bill does not ask
protection or favors for the great
printing industry Of The country.
II simyly asks the government Ia
lake its strong arm off and give II
a fair chance. Many millions Of
dollars are thereby annually by
this act taken from he printing
business. This does not seem iair
or Just. II is asserted that This law
secures a better return of letters.
The class Of people who use these
envelopes are bankers and Others
who are not suspected OF inability
to keep their correspondence in
good shape. The government re-
fuses to let Sam Jones, hardware
merchant, Podunk, Ind.," appear
because it adverlises his business.
II he cannot see through a barb
wire fence, and he usually can, he
simply says, "Return after 1O days
TO the Sam Jones Hardware Co.,
Podunk." This is legitimate. and
goes. The government should
take its arm off and not oppose one
of the greatest industries Of the
countries"
This lie more in The right direct
ion, and we hope our entire delega-
lion iH Congress from Mississippi
will heartily and zealously support
The measure when il comes up for
action, --'

feeling behi nd him, with a very red
face
Il dare say, continued Jim, the
philosopher, declining to join in the
general smoker at Mart's expense,
that there is sometl inr hanging or
sticking t. me at this present moment,
but l don t care enough to look for it. !"
"Oh, no." cried Lew Anderson, the
fourth of the group of idle boys who
we're stan6 ing this first day of April on

n the Michigan peninsula, what is
King Jim's idea of joke, for instance?
Shall we blow up barn with dyna-
mite, or throw a couple of children in
he lake? l would suggest that we set
IRE to the lake as a starter"
There wac a general roar of merri-
nent over this sally, but i'm was not
lbashed. He was king, indeed, among
he BoscO boys, by virtue of superior
strength, wit and intelligence, and he
knew that no serious revolt against his
rule was contemplated.
POOH he said, with smile. You
ion't grasp my idea. think we four
boys ought TO distinguish ourselves by
ioing something ont of the common

Il catch on said Mart, with more
force than elegance. Suppose we
send somebody up to Wandel, forty

I'VE are in big luck. Here's our
chance
whats the matter?" queried the
boys. in whispered chorus.
Keep quiet, and you'll see directly.
Tom. give me that specimen from
Hunters mine. Quick!'
Tom passed over a specimen of cop
per ore almost as large as his fist and
fully eighty per cent fine, and, as Jim
took It in his hand, long, lank and
ungainly fellow came stumbling
around the post Office corner.
The boys knew him well as Yer

been loafing around Bosco for three

to be much keener than he looked.
As he came up Jim held the speci-

By this time Baseomb was abreast
