Wewoud urge upon the attention of our citi-
zens the fact that the Butte County Agricultural
Society will hold IFS first annual fair at Chico,
mencing the second day of October, and closing
on the 5th. We are assured by the management
that it gives promise of abundant success, and
trust that our farmers and stock owners will all
participate in the effort to make it among the best
comfy fairs in the State. Chico is the finest agr
cultural township in the State, and it is proper
that it should take pride in augurating an agri
cultural society for the county. 1t will afford them
an opportunity to display the wonderful products
of their valuable SOIL their stock, their manufac
lures, and the progress of the county in the arts
and sciences By inviting agriculturists from 9TH
er sections of the State hither. they will be ena
bed to institute comparison of soil and product,
and either demonstrate their superiority. or profit
by the knowledge thus gained. 1t should not be
expected by those who may desire to participate
as exhibitors that this initial fair should offer high
premiums That can be done when the county has
demonstrated, should now be done, its purpose
Of making the Butte County Agricultural Society
a permanent Institution, and its annual exhibitions
pride and profit to our people. The people of
Chico have done nobly in the endesvor - establish
and build up such society for this county. They
deserve the encouraging attendance OF every one
interested IN the prosperity and advancement of
the county and their home interests. Go and see
what the county can do. If you have nothing to
exhibit go and see hat others have. and you will
not return home entirely unbeneited. for You will
undoubtedly see something that You can excel if
You try. II is not the mere pride of excelling,
however, and carrying of premium that should
be the incentive. The advancement of the perma-
interest of the county. in which every property
holder is interested, and all may be benefited,
is the grand consideration that should induce our
people to make this society permanent and success

our public men, particularly of that large class
of them who are properly called selfmade
men, Mr.. Cave will find that there is strength
OF character, earnestness and breadth of view
among them that the statesmen Of monarchical
countries seldom have. Look, for example, at
that sphinx of the age-as Punch calls him
Disraeli, lineal descendant of Judas Iscariot,
and who is greater jockey than the one who
rode Gladiateur-a jockey on both or all des-
look al the precious muddle into which he and
the other members of the Derby Cabinet have
got things. This great leader of British states
men Is utterly befogged and has befogged
both the administration and Parliament. The
fact Is be does not see his way clear how to
satisfy the demands OF the democratic ideas Of
the day upon the foundation Of monarchical
and aristocratic institutions. Ours Is the only
true and great constitutional government in
the world Perhaps Mr.. Cave will learn while
here the principles which are at the bottom Of
such government and will enlighten Disraeli
and the British Parliament on his return. This
country is now the school in which British

Yet there are some, honest, conscientious
patriotic men, who yet love their country,
and who have acted with the Republican
party when they thought that party was
laboring to save the Nation from ruin, who
are now we'll satisfied, that the Republican
organization has fallen into the hands Of
corrupt and unscrupulous demagogues, who
are using it to gain their own personal ends
and who care nothing for the people SO they
succeed in their nefarious designs.


This class of men are leaving them, and
will act with the Democracy in the coming
election knowing that the only hope of saw
ing the country from the impending ruin
that is threatening its destruction, is to de-
feat this army of demagogues and devils.


The Democratic ticket, both State and
county, is enthusiastically received here. The
regenerated Democracy, purged of all its
bad elements, to-day stands forth as the only
hope of Constitutional liberty and the preser'
vation Of Republican institutions. The peo-
pie begin to feel that their liberties are in
danger Of being lost, and are hocking to the
Democracy as their ark of safety.


Democrats who have not voted for years
are coming forward, with renewed confidence
feeling that the time has come for them to
make a united effort to save their common
country from the horror and degradation
Of Radical fanatcism. and place it once
more upon a firm and solid Constitutional
foundation. Yours. truly,

accordingly departed alone; but he had
not been gone long when the woman sent

various churches and chapels of the diocese of
Dublin last Sunday, alluding to Fenianism,
straightforward brethren, beg of you to use
your influence during this month to Danish
every remnant of Feniauism from your
spectiVe parishes, Those who took part In that
unhappy system must now see that, while they
rejected all friendly advice, they put their lives
at the mercy of spies and informers, the most
wicked and degraded class of human beings.
Exhort all who have been led astray, and who
joining secret organization, to retrace their
sions and TO determine to shun for the future all
those societies which are so wisely condemned
by The Church. When those who have gone
astray show signs of true repentance the
Church will act as a tender mother towards
them. While condemning the evil deeds of
secret societies, from which we may expect
nothing good we cannot be Indifferent to the
sad ana falling state of our country. The
people are still flying from the land, and nearly
100000 of its people have emigrated; our
towns and villages are decaying, trade and
commerce are at stand, ruin and desolation
are spreading on every side Can such a state
of things be amended by human wisdom or
are our rulers able to encounter such difficult
ties? The Scriptures say:-'Do not put your
trust in princes, in the children of men, in

FIRMLY RESOLVE NEVER TO OWE A
DEBT.-It is the fundamental m stake of
most boys to suppose that they can get
rich faster on money earned by others
than on that earned respectively by them
selves If every youth of Is to 25 years
today were offered $4,000 for ten years
at 7 per cent. interest, two thirds of them
would eargerly accept it; when the pro-
bable consequence is that three-fourths Of
them would die bankrupts and paupers.
Boys do not need money half so much as
they need to know how to earn and save
it. The boy who at the close of his first
year of independence, has earned and
saved one hundred dollars, and invested
or loaned it where it will pay him six or
seven per cent, will almost certainly be-
come rich if he lives, while he who closes
his first year Of responsibility in debt
will probably live and die in debt
There is no greater mistake made by our
American youth than that Of choosing to
pay interest rather than receive. Inter
est devours US while we sleep; it absorbs
our profits and aggravates our losses.
Let man of twenty have sl,0OO
loaned on bond and mortgage, or invested
in public securities, and he will rarely
want money thereafter; in fact, that 81, )
900 invested at seven per cent, will of
itself make him rich before he is sixty.
There is no rule more important or whole
some for our boys than that which teaches
them to go through life receiving interest,"
rather than paying it. Of the torments
which af1ict this mortal sphere, the first
rank is held by Crime, the second by
Debt.-Horace Greeley.

stance is produced a tissue paper of the
most beautiful fabric, even of surface and
delicate of color, ream of which, with

half pounds. It is used principally in
the potteries for transferring the various
patterns to the earthern ware, and is found
superior to any substance yet known for
that purpose It is so tenacious that a
sheet of it twisted by hand in the form of
rope will support upward of one hundred
weight. Truly, We live in an age Of in
