Sir Henry Sidney my Lord Brook
whites, was man of excellent natural wit,
large heart, sweet conversation, and such
governor as sought not to make an end of the
State u himself, but to plant bis Own ends 10
the prosperity of his country. On the other
side Lady Mary Sidney, as she was woman
by descent of great nobility, so she was by ma
ture of large, ingenious spirit. Whence as
it were even racked with native strengths, she
chose rather to hide herself from the curious
eyes Of delicate time, than to come upon the
stage of the world with any manner OF dl>par-
agement, the mischapce Of sickness bavlng cast
such veil over her excellent beauty, as the
modesty of that sex doth many times upon their
Datlve and berolca spirits.


The affection which this worthy couple Law
ished upon Master Philip was touching from
its gravity. A letter which Sir Henry wrote
10 his son in his twelfth year, is still extant.
lie was at school at Shire wsbury, and had writ
ten two letters to his father, one in Latin, aud
the other in French. They came safely to

them was the first that he had ever written to
him, it was not empty of advice. tie should

Mary concludes, ''and once again the Lord

In connection with this subiect, I call
the attention of congress- 70 q generally
known fact that the great proportion of
Chinese emigrants who come to our
shores do not come voluntarily TO make
their homes with us and their labor
productive of the general prosperity,
but come under contract with head men,
who Owl them almost absolutely. In a
worse form does this apply to the Chi
nese women. Hardly a perceptible
percentage Of them perform any honor
able labor, but they are brought here
for shameful purposes, to the disgrace
Of the communities where they settle,
and to the great decentralization of the

On Thursday, during the proceedings of
the Woman's Suffrage Association in Chi
cago, the following amusing tilt between
Miss Anthony and Mrs. Swisshelm took
place:


She didn't agree with everything Miss A.
had said. There were more, men willing to
give women the ballot than there were
women to ask it. 1t had always been their
desire to get a law emitting tax-paying
women to vote, but they had objected. If
it was in her power to give all women of
of the country the franchise tomorrow she
would not speak the word. She believed
in enfranchising q few at q time on special
subjects in which they were interested. In
her opinion the suffragists had asked too
much. They had drawn their bow at the
sun, and may probably hit the moon. The
speaker liked men better than she did
women. The woman hadn't asked for the
franchise rightly if they had it would have
been granted. If they would not declare
that they would not pay taxes unless per-
mitted to vote, but would just ask for the
right to vote every time they pay their
taxes, they would be moro likely to have
the privilege accorded them. If the women
would only sit down by the side Of the men
they might even sit on one Of their
knees-and ask for their rights, they would
be more likely to receive them. This was
followed by uproarious applause, Miss
Anthony hiding her face evidently remind
ed of the little Brooklyn episode. Mrs.
Swisshelm went on to say that she under
stood men better than did Miss Anthony,
and, furthermore, she knew more about
them than did her colleague, with whom
she always felt privileged to disagree.


Miss Anthony replied to Mrs. Swisshelm,
and remarked that they had always enter
tanned opposite opinions, and there was no
probability of either one converting the
other. She was not content to receive her
protection from the male portion of the
community; she wanted to be at the mercy
of herself She was earnest III this matter,
because she felt the position at present
occupied by woman was an insult and
degradation to her position in society

Although no one seems to have any
IDEA that there is any serious danger
of Dunn getting the nomination for
Congress, it may be well to consider
what would be the result, if such an
extremely improbable event should
happen. That his nomination would
place the Democratic party of the
District squarely on the record as the
anti-Temperance or whisky party,
everybody admits, as his only claim
rests upon his self-assumed position
as the great champion of the Whisky
Ring. Would the honest Temper
ance Democrats, of whom we are
glad to say the number is not few,
and is steadily increasing in these
latter days, consent to support such
a candidate? Certainly not. The
result would be q combination be-
tween them and the Republicans, on
some good Temperance Democrat,
Qike Gen. Mcdowell, for instance,)
who would consent to run indepen-
dent, and Dunn would be beaten so
badly that he would never be heard
of again as a candidate for Office.


He would be most efectually and
emphatically sqase1ched, or he would
deserve to be.

The Cincinnati Gazette takes a
hopeful view of the future, as fol-
lows:-


The year 1874 is likely to be
marked as one of great abundance.
This will prove far better than cur
rency initiation. The financial CEN
tres are glutted with money. In
New York capital on call at 2@3 per
cent per annum, and in Cincinnati
money was never more plenty or
cheap than at present. The scarcity
of borrowers is evidence of fstagnation
in business, of course; but good crops
will start the machinery ofcommerce,
and, money being plenty, the pro-
ducts of the harvest will promptly
be moved, and those who do not get
ready for lively autumn trade will
make great mistake. Whatever
the country may have done in the
way of overtrading heretofore, it has
been undertaking since last Octo-
ber It has been taking account of
stock for eight months, and settling
up. Goods are consequently in light
supply everywhere. Manufactures
have been on short time, and con-
SINNERS have used up their supplies.
At the same time spectators have
been idle. With the incoming of the
new harvest this season of inactivity
must end, and then we shall expert
ence a resumption of active business.
The prospects are that the next COM
mercial year will be one of ihe most
prosperous ever experienced in this
country.

ADVERTISING IS FOUNDED UPON THE
FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH THAT HE WHO DE-
SIRES TO HAVE THE BEST SUCCESS MUST
HAVE THE WIDEST ACQUAINTANCE AND
BE THE BEST KNOWN.


The merchant who opens a store on principal
thoroughfare, and puts up attractive sign, does
so to attract the attention of the public; but when
be transfers the sign to the columns of a widely
circulated newspaper, he places SO many signs be-
fore the eye of the public with this great difference
that only the passers-by see the one on the store,
while the sign placed in the columns of a widely
y-circulated newspaper goes after the public, seeks
ii out, hunts it down in its private walks and ways
and compels it to be observant in spite of itself


In making the sign for the store, care is taken to


MAKE II sttractve, and to this end the hest skill ia
pairing the sign-board for the newspaper-to see
that It is prominent that ii is well printed and that
il expresses clearly, fully and definitely some busi
ness idea, and that it is made fresh from time to
time, and that it gives the best value for the outlay
Many years experience and constant practice ought
10 be worth something in such matters.


Newspaper advertising is now recognized, by busi-


ness men having faith in their own wares, as the


most effective means for securing for their goods


wide recognition of their merits.


Newspaper advertising impels inquiry, and when
the article offered is of good quality and at fair
price, the natural result is increased sales.
Newspaper advertising is a permanent addition to
the reputation of the goods advertised, because
ii is permanent influence always at work in
their interest.


Newspaper advertising is the most energetic and
vigilant of statesmen addressing thousands each
day, always in the advertisers interest, and
ceaselessly at work seeking customers from all
classes.


Newspaper advertising promotes trade, for even
in the dullest times advertisers bg far the
largest share of what is being done. iu1stf

Married people should treat each other
like lovers all their liyes-then they would
be happy. Bickcring and quarreling would
soon break off love affairs consequently
lovers indulge in such only to very limited
extent. But some people-men and women
both-when they have once got married
think they may do just as they please, and
it will make no difference. They make
great mistake. 1t causes all the difference
in the world. Women should grow .more
devoted and men more fond after marriage,
if they have the slightest idea of being hap
py as wives and husbands. 1t is losing sigh.
of this fundamental truth which leads to
hundreds Of divorces. Yet, many man
will scold his wife who would never think
of breathinga harsh word to his sweetheart;
and many wife will be glum and morosc
on her husbands return who had only
smiles and words of cheer for him when he
was her suitor. How can such people e<

Smallpox, speaking non-medlcally,
takes fourteen days to incubate. Its
SYMPTOMS commence with severe weak
ness and pain in the small OF the back,
which the uususpecting victim attrlb-
utes in some way to the kidneys. The
system becomes feverish and the spirits
unusually depressed. Before the dis
ease really manifests itself, and at
point where no physician can diagnose
1.-THE symptoms being so similar to
scarlet fever, M asles and other dis
eases-the sufferer complains of f. .verish
symptoms, severe headache, insupport-
able lassitude, loss of appetite-ln
short. the unmistakable signs of an APP
preaching malady which is to shake the
system to its base, and test the powers
of vitality and strength to their utmost
tension. Then breaks out the unmls
taxable eruption which marks the fell
DESTROYER, and it is then that the friends
of the patient should either have him
removed, or at least guard the SICK
room that the contagion may be kept
within the closest limits. If there is no
hospital near, flag should at once be
hoisted to indicate to passers by that
the lintels of that door have been
brushed by the destroying angel.


Every man is liable to smallpox,
even a second time-some more than
others: and it is a we'll authenticated
fact that the mind has an immense deal
to do not only with the liability to con-
troll infection, but with the power to
withstand the shock. Fear may be
called the greatest friend, next to GER
tain habit of body, which the smallpox
has. A man has been known to catch
it by simply seeing case upon the other
side of road, which had been dis
missed from a hospital cured ; and he
has felt that peculiar shudder, which
veterans will tell you they remember tc


have experienced at the moment iron ,


which they date the reception OF the

FLASHED IN THE PAN.--The Board
OF Supervisors of Shasta county last week
had under consideration the matter of
fixing the rates of toll on certain wagon
roads-notably those leading into this
County. The Clerk Of the Board, after
some time, trouble and expense, procured
copy of the law, passed last Winter,
relative to the matter, and which was
presumed to invest the Supervisors of
Shasta and Trinity with power to fix the
rates of toll on said roads. In report
of the matter, the Courier says: 1.-THE
amended Law, as received, does not make
any material change in that respect. If
there is any other law which does, the
Board has no legal knowledge of it, and
consequently cannot act in the promises" !"
Never having seen copy Of the law, we
know not the difficulty, but have been
informed that the Act of last Winter
failed to repeal that section of the Civil
Code which relates to the matter, and
therefore the legislation had is Of no
effect, the law to-day being exactly the
same as before the question was agitated.
1t is now in order for somebody to rise
and explain why this thing is thusly.

BRIDGE GOING.-Parties from Douglas
City inform us that during the late high
water, Smiths bridge across Trinity river
at that place, was damaged to such an
extent as to render it unsafe. A floating
tree or log struck the bent which supports
the main span, in manner which seems
to have wrenched the posts from the
mudsill, leaving the span with but little
support. This bent is directly in the
current, so that nothing can be done to-
ward repairing the damage until low
water, before which time the entire span
is liable to go out. The damaged bent
was put in during the Winter of 1868,
and the break shows that the timber is
perfectly sound. The injured span is the
most expensive one forming the bridge,
and should it go out entirely, it is ques-
tionable whether it will be rebuilt. AL
though it is generally thought to have
been damaged by drift, Mr.. Smith don't
think so, as the sheathing is not broken.
Thursday last, a wagon with a load Of
abou. thirty hundred, crossed the bridge
safely, the injured span apparently sus-
tanning the load as well as any other.

If in this liberal age there are persons
to be found who are so blinded by preju-

stimulant is an item Of immense import
ance in the catalogue of human remedies,
we should like them to witness the won
derful effects which Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters are now producing all over the
country in cases of intermittent fever,
rheumatism, bilious disorders, dyspepsia,
nervous complaints, constitutional debili-
ty, mental depression and premature de-
cay. To be sure these effects are nothing
new. The great vegetable invigorant and
its cures have been before the people for
more than twenty-five years, and in every
year of the twenty-five its popularity has
increased and its sale has become larger.
Yet there are no doubt many thousands
