SPECIAL NOTICE.

When we purchased the HERALD
we bought all misunderstanding
job work, and subscriptions. We had
hoped to have had these settled some
time since, and have urged all inter
ested to settle, if for no other reason
than to avoid future trouble, through
any error that may have arisen by
reason of the transfer of the accounts
from Mr.. Reilly to us.
Back subscriptions were bought at
the rate of S2.oo per year We have
been settling these accounts with all
who continue, at the rate of 81 so, the
regular cash-in-advance rate. If they
are not settled soon, we shall be obliged
to employ collector, when s2.oo a
year will be charged. This can be
avoided by prompt settlements.

Have you ever felt the sensations
that make you dwindle from a noun
tain to mole-hill in a pair of min
utes? Have you ever felt down deep
in your pants pocket for the much
abused silver dollar to purchase some
coveted article, and when you drew
that pocketbook to light, its great,
yawning, hungry looking mouth and
lank folds beat the starch clear out
of your backbone, and though you
had always carried yourself as stiff as
our driving butcher you could not
help that unmistakable curve of humil-
ity and crainp feeling, as you ruefully
acknowledge: alt is Democratic
change and l voted for it " change
from full pocketbook to an empty
one; and YOU put your nose close to its
limp folds for even the comforting
smell of a copper cent, and alas, that
even is denied you; and then in your
rage and despair you feel for lock of
hair to pull out by the roots and your
hand grasps your bald pate, for even
your hair has tumbled out with anx-
iety, waiting for Congress to give
something to nourish the blood and
quicken the circulation (of currency
and then your pent-up feelings crave

how can she feed the public with ac
