Pluck in the race for success has
long since distanced luck. Enterprise
goes forward. with steady tread, and
reaches the goal, while timidly stands
covering before every adverse
wind. To appreciate what
pluck, energy and enter
prise has accomplished, a visit to The
LEADER book bindery will disclose
Starting not yet year ago. with no
plant, it has gone steadily forward,
and overcoming all obstacles it, to- day,
invites competition. There is, in the
cities, no more complete plant, or one
that does better or finer work 1t is a
Richmond in the field, who has come
to stay, and TO conquer too, though an
hundred Richards may contend.
The tindery is presided over by a
foreman, who is an expert, and who
gives it his closest personal attention.
In The LEADER plant an actual
working force of tweDty-seven is kept
continually busy, and this force repre-.
sents a weekly pay roll of s4oO. The
bindery is supplied with the most inn
proved machinery. and is capable, and
does turn out, as fine specimens OF
work as any bindery in the United
States. One of the great points scored
by it, is that owing to its completeness
and the systematic clock work with
which it is carried on, it can afford to
bid as low as the lowest The motto
of its proprietors being to make liv-
ing profit from its patrons and not a
killing loss to them.
The field of operations of the bind.
cry have continually increased, and it
not only bids for work IN Oklahoma
Territory land it always bids the
lowest, too,) but its trade extends to
several of the Southern Kansas coun.
ties. The travelling preventative,
Mr. ii. A. Platt, is on the road all the
while, and, owing to s,I.ct business
methods, he has been more than sue
cessful The enterprise is only
the nucleus of what its proprie.
tors intend making it. The
fed is large one and they
in md covering it fully. Their enter
p . warrants them in hoping for the
l. results. There is no reason for
Louis and Kansas City houses
&c. g the work that home enterprise
g. do just as well, and possibly bet.
I The country is increasing every
Gag in population and wealth, and the
q land must perforce keep pace with
the country's growth.
The LEADER bindery is ready to un-
dertake any character of work, and to
guarantee that lit will do the work ia
such manner as to please the most
fastidious.

An Old Colonial Horror.

At Freehold, y. j., a negro was once
Executed in "A manner that would have
made the torturers Of the middle ages
blush with envy. An old document in
the clerks office at that place tells the
tale: 80 Therefore the court
doth judge that thou, the said Caesar,
shall return TO the place from whence
thou camest, and from thence To the
place of execution, where thy right
hand shall be cut Oft and burned be-
fore thy eyes. Then thou shalt be
hanged by the neck till thou art dead,
dead, dead; then thy body shall be cut
down and burned to ashes in a fire
kindied for that purpose and may the
Lord have mercy on thy soul

A correspondent OF the Indiana
Farmer writes: "Once | noticed tur.

buzzard only put up his left or right

"caw" in a rapid manner that soon
brought two comrades on swift wings,
when after n brief interval Of convcr-
sation two of them approached him
from either side simultaneously. with
the third one going at him from the
rear. The buzzard was soon dislodged
and hustled out of the vicinity by the
successive sparrings administered.
Another instance came to my notice
several years ago that for sympathy
has but few parallels outside Of the
human family. Gazing toward the
barn one day saw about half dozen
sparrows on the ground greatly
agitatcd over something, and | stopped
TO watch the proceedings. soon saw
that one Of them was In great distress.
With dropping wings and mouth wide
open the others hovered close about it
and seemingly peered down the little

bird hoped up on the lower board of

iull length, when one of the other
birds flew up on board higher direct

ulations for few seconds, then quick

'owcr side of the top board with its

VICTORIA, 3. c., Dec. 16.-The steam
ship Portland, formerly the Haytien Re-
public, returned here this morning leaking
badly and with her rudder damaged. the
result of two terrible hours off Cape Flat
terry last night. She was coal laden, bound
from Nanaimo to San Francisco, and
passed out at 10 80 last night.
once clear of land she was in a regular
gale. The sea swept over her decks aud
for time it was feared it would extin-
gulsh the fires. An effort was made to
bring her about, but she refused to answer
the helm and those aboard feared for a
time that she would be completely at the
mercy of the waves.
Every man in the crew was called to
duty. The ship was finally brought about
and after two hours was back inside of
Tatoosh light.
Captain Holmes was not asleep for
forty-eight hours and is almost Frustrated.
lie said this evening that the ship was
constantly under water and that the gale
was the worst he was ever in.
One of the crew stated that he made up
his mind the vessel would plunge into a
sea and &c down. The vessel will be sur
veyed tomorrow. Any vessel that was off
the cape last night must have been sea-
worthy to ride the storm.
Several large steamers reported over

him. The prisoner arose from his chair,
grasping its back to steady himself His
nervousness was so great that it was nearly
a minute before he found voice to say:
shy wife here! Please be quick and
admit her,"
A few moments later they were sobbing
in each others embrace. The evening was

outcome of the Lavigne-B Bowen fight. The
Governor expressed himself as firmly OPP
posed to such exhibitions. He said
Il have always been very positive and
emphatic in my opposition to the glove
contests as carried on in New Orleans by
professional prize-fghters. l regard it as
a brutal exhibition, tending to demorali ze
public sentiment and in no wise calculated
to elevate the tone of public morals in
the community.
"When the effort was made to have the
Corbeit- Mitchell fight take place in New
Orleans l determined to exhaust all the
power of the State to prevent it and so
declared at that time. The unfortunate
termination Of the Lavigne-Bowen contest
accentuates the Importance of prohibiting
any such further exhibitions"
