Bg~While at Chicago last week, we
bought new power press, and invested
largely in new sSpe, and material for our
office. In fact, we spent all our money
and Grew heavily on our credit. Our new
press will probably arrive in a week Or
SO, whrn we shall be better prepared to
do job work neatly and cheaply than any
other offic,' in this part of the state. Hav
ing made such extenivc additions to our
office, thereby involving onrself in debt,
we shall take the liberty of calling on oua
friends, Chose who owe us, at least,) to
help us out of the difficulty. Ifthose who
know themselves indebted us will call
and settle, they will confer a favor and en-

RAILROAD TO SuN PRAInIE,-The Madison
Journal says: 'In Milwaukee last week,
we were Informed, from what scemedlgoed
authority, that it is the determination Of
the railroad managers to build the link OF
road from Sun Prairie to this city, during
the coming summer. That estimates have
been made, as to the saving that would ac-
cruc from the shortening of distance by
the building of this road, and that the
amount would be so large as to render the
improvement eertain from the fact that il
would prove profitable to the railroad com
pany. We trust this will be the result, as
that link Of road would prove great ad-
vantage to the business convenience of both
Milwaukee and Madison" @

if it was cheaper light than was furnished

we found that it was burning to call az

better light with less oil than any other

SALUTEs AND SALUTATIoSs.-A lady must
never first recognize gentleman by bowing
before he can salute her. She is sole judge
of whether she wishes to appear to know
him. Should she recognize him, he should
raise his hat from bis head with the hand
that is farthest from the lady. and return her
salutation with a slight inclination of the
BODY. He must not claim acquaintance Of
his own accord, neither should he of necessi-
ty consider he has been "cut" because the
ladv did not recognise him. 1t is quite
possible she may not have observed him. A
lady need not stop in the street to speak to a
gentleman she knows. Should she do so,
however, the gentleman should at once stop,
no matter how urgent his business. He can
at least stop time enough to say be cannot
stop any longer. When the lady wishes to
end the conversation, she makes an inclina-
:inn of the head as a sign thereof, and tie
gentleman should at once take his Leave
If the lady moses onwards, still talking, the
gentleman should turn back and walk with
her. Married ladies can do as they please in
these matters. 1t is not etiquette for young
unmarried ladies to do more than bow to
gentlemen of their acquaintance if they meet
them in the street. unless, of course, the
gentlemen are related to them. Mrs. Grundy
would, however, perhaps object to COUSINS
being included among the privileged class.
Unless a lady is intimately acquainted with
gentleman, she should merely bow, not
give her hand, when meeting him. In her
own home she may-even she should-wel-

An EXTRAORDINARY PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT.
The question as to whether certain lm-
pressions brought forcibly to the mind of a
pregnant woman can react upon the unborn
child in such manner as to mark it to alter
its development, has often been disputed by
medical men but circumstances have been
brought under our notice recently which tend
to confirm the soundness Of the theory. The
facts we are about to relate are 80 extraordi-
nary that we feel it necessary to state that
our authority is unquestionable before pro
ceeding further. Most of our readers must
have noticed, at some time during their
perambulations through the city. an unfor-
tunate woman, dwarf and cripple having
been born without arms, and who supports
existence by asking for aims, which the
charitably disposed deposit in tin slung
round her neck. 1t has often been remarked
that cases of deformity such as this should
not be suffered to be paraded in the streets,
not only because the sight is repulsive, but
because, in wealthy and munifcent city
like San Francisco, provision should be
made for the maintenance of those unfortu


mates who have been deprived by nature CT
accident, of the means of earning their own
subsistence. Municipal governments, how


ever, are something like gunpowder, you
must apply fire to them if you want them to
90 off; and they seldom or never bestr
themselves until the evil, which has been
for months complained of by the public, cul-
inmates in some irreparahle disaster, and
brings about their ears a storm of inaigna-
ton, which alone can rouse them from their
official torpor In the case referred to by us
we are informed that very serious effects
have been produced by the exhibition Of
deformity mentioned. Two ladies, both of
whom were about to increase their families,
saw the cripple on the street, and the i'm
preston of her deformity conveyed to the
minds. has actually resulted in the birth of
two children, destitute, like the dwarf beg
gar, of arms. 1t need scarcely be added
that the mothers are bitterly afflicted, and
perhaps this case will have the effect Of
stirring up the proper authorities to remove
such objects from the public streets, before a
whole generation of armless Californians is
brought into the worlds. f. Times.
