best subscribers in the world, to newspapers,
magazines, &C., and that in eight years he
has never lost single dollar by female sub
scrlbers. He says they seem to make it e
conscientious duty to pay the preachers and
printers-two classes that suffer more by bad
pay and no pay at all than all Others put to-
gether. Whenever he has woman's name
on his book, he knows it is just as good for
the money due as picayune is for ginger
cake. A most sweet comparison More
over, he asserts that ladies read the newspa-
pers to which they subscribe more thor
oughly than men !; and he concludes by de-
claring that he would. rather have dozen
women upon his book than one man We
concur with this wise and witty editor, even
to the last sentence, and would add a fact in
our own experience. We have. observed
that almost the first thing man does after
marriage to a sensible woman and settling
down in his own house, is to subscribe for
the local paper. Now, either in the first
blush of his Importance as one of the pillars
of continuity he thinks he must help sup
port the chief institution in it, or else that
intelligent young wife will not have her homo
remain uniluminated by the journal which
she knows is earnestly toiling for just such
as her and him. We believe the latter is of
tenest true, and so, when we receive FIVE
dollars for a years subscription from newly
married man, We say-God bless that dear
little woman And the printers blessing is
not an idle one.

THE PRNcE OF WALES IN AMEMcA.-The
London Times, in the last issue received
here, observes


II is not every body who can best do that
which is his most natural part, for it is the
highest merit to he just that which a man
ought TO be. The commonest form Of error
is to attempt part not ones own, or TO
combine tv o in one. The Prince Of Wales
has only shown himself in his own proper
character as the head of the young British
gently, the future sovereign of n consttu-
tonal county, and the representative of
an empire whose best interests are to be at
peace with all the world, and which neither
hopes for aggTandizement nor fears any foe.
He has expressed to the Americans the real
sentiment of every British heart to that
great cognate nation. There is none in
hicb we are all so interested; none the
successes and glories of which we all hear
with such unmixed satisfaction; none with
which we so identify ourselves. The Prince
of Wales, while showing the feelings of a
true born Englishman, has elected tue feel
ings of all true-born Americans, aud so
brought the two face to face, and made them
feel they are brothers .-

Important matrimOBie-Legnl Question In
Franoe-A Young Woman Married to a
Convicted Assassiu,


A legal question of some importance is
about to be submitted to the judgment of the
Paris Court of Cassation-tbe Supreme Court
ofAppeals from the decisions of the lower
tribunals. A young work woman Of ire
proacbable character, named Zoe Herbin,
was courted by an ouUrier who had worked
for a year in the Same establishment, and
during that period had behaved well, and
won the good opinions of his employers and
fellow-workmen. He stated that he was an
orphan from the south Of France, produced
the various legal documents required in
France for ones identity; and made out so
plausible o story that the young woman's
parents were satisfied, and the marriage
took place.


For few weeks all went well with the
young pair but the wife happening to enter
the room one day when her husband was
dressing himself, she perceived to her un-
speakable surprise the terrible brand of the
hulks on his shoulder. Disguise and subter-
fuges were alike useless, and the man con-
fessed that he had been a prisoner in the
hulks, to which as the family of the unfor-
tunate wife now discovered he had beer
condemned for the crime of assassination
| The wife and her family, all honest, hard
working people, of good name and much re
| spected in their sphere-were, however
| stricken at the discovery.


The young woman declared that nothing
should ever induce her to regard as her hus
band man who had committed SO foul
crime and whose alliance was o disgrace
Her parents took the same view of the mat
ter, received her again into their house, AM
applied in her name to the proper tribuna
to have the marriage declared null, on tn
I ground that, in contracting this union, tn
woman had been deceived as to the identit
of the other party. This demand was re
iected. and the marriage declared to be valid
despite the admitted error of identity. Con
siderable interest is felt here in the issue q
the appeal from this verdict.

A LONDON JOURNAL ON THE PRINCE OF
WALEss RETURN FROM AMEmoA.-The Lon
don Newsindulges in this Johnsonese English
on His Royal Highness' return home:


The Prince of Wales brings home, we are
persuaded, a heart thrilling with affection
for the mighty offspring of England and q
deep respect for that energetic freedom and
expanding power. He brings home, too, an
intellect sharpened and strengthened by cou-
tact with the vitality of new cviliza-
ton. He has tasted the life and destiny
of the New World, in the prairie, in
the forest clearing, in populous cities,
where but yesterday the pioneer piled
his ak. He has seen nation of solliers
without an army, civil order without a
police-wealth, luxury and culture without
a Court or an aristocracy. He has learned
to mingle with the busy crowd of men with
out the intervention of chamberlains and
courtiers; he has found respect without GER
emony, and honor without adulation. He
has dwelt too, in England at sea; and no
where can he have better learned the secret
of ofEpglands greatness than in his experiences
on board the Hero in the Atlantic. 1t is
only due to the Duke of Newcastle to say
that the Prince has been singularTy fortunate
in the selection of a Secretary of State to at
tend him on his travels. 1t seems happy
coincidence that at the hour when the royal
squadron was making the English land on
Wednesday night the Prime Minister was ell
oquently acknowledging the hosDitalities
which the Prince of Wales had enjoyed in
the United States.

GINGER BExR.--I will give You my way Of
making small beer that is the right kind OF
beer, in answer to an inquiry by"A sub
scriber:"


Take eight gallons Of warm water and
one gallon Of New Orleans molasses, and a
small handful Of hops, and boil them in q
gallon and half of water, and strain It IN
with the other warm water. Then take two
large ,easpoonsful of good ginger and put 1t
In and mix it in and mix Il right well, and
then put in two teaspoonsful Of good cream
tartar. Next put in one and half gallons
of good yeast, and mix Ii all well and let II
stand for six or eight hours, or rather till 1t
has worked good scum over the top. Take
n clean cloth and wash it in warm water
and wiring the water out and lay it in cul-
ander and strain carefully bottle and cork
and tie it up 50 that the strings will make a
cross ON the top of the cork. Set the bottles
out in the hot sun for two hours, and then
put them in good cold cellar or spring
house, and let it get one day old, and then
you will have good beer.


Skim before you strain; also, before you
put the ginger and molasses and the cream
tartar and yeast in your water, make 1t
little cool, little more than milk warm
but no warmer, or else it will kill your in
gredients.-COuRtry Ge'lfienidn.

it our duty to say word to the up-country Over

as public officers lately. A great deal of repair
is needed along the Ridge road between this
point and Lake City. Several spots are almost
impossible for wagons, and many of the bridges
are positively dangerous'to'cross. We have no
desire to say more than simply to refer to the
matter at this time, hoping the various Over
seers, wherever they feel themselves to have been
remiss, may atone for the past by being dligent
in the prosecution of repairs for the future.
