When u walk is made it should be we'll
done, as it is for a lifetime. In the first
place, procure all the coLbIe stones that
will be needed to ill in eight or ten inch
es deep, and place them where they can
be easily reached with q wheclbarrow.
Then excavate the walk foot deep and
remove the earth to some other place.
Fill in with stones, topping of with small
ones, leaving the top about an inch below
the surface Of tho ground. Then procure
enough coarse gravel to make the walk in
the center about six inches higher than
the level Of the adjoining groundi and as
you apply this gravel, take off the coarser
parts as You proceed, so that the finer por-
lions shall lie on the surface. II short
walk, wet il with a water pot as soon as
finished, and roll it with hand roller as
soon as the ground is sufficiently dry; and
for extensive walks the rolling may he
done soon after rain. Such a walk will
endure for ages, and always be dry.

The success Of many business men is


largely owing to the introduction Of the
drummer system. II enables the smaller
cities, like Wheeling, to do business in
competition with larger cities. The aver.
age country merchant can buy goods as
cheap in Wheeling as in Baltimore. A
wholesaler here, Of moderate capital,
aided by experienced travellers, can culti-
yate the trade within radius OF fifty
miles in away that no casual visitor can
cultivate it. He can accommodate every
mans wants in a shorter time, and can af-
ford TO trust him as far as he should
be trusted, having his eye constant,
ly upon him, as it were. lie
knows just what to buy for this Market
and he can buy it in.quantilies large
enough to command all the discounts
given to the iobbiug trade. This fact, to.
gether with his cheaper rents here, and
ability to guard against bad debts, enable
him to sell on advantageous terms.


Not alone to the wholesaler is
the drummer an advantage. He is
likewise an advantage to the sre.
taller. The latter is kept constant.
ly posted as to the changes in the price
list OF every article he sells. He receiy-
es such number OF offers throughout
the course OF a year that he becomes nc.
curateIy posted. He saves the expense
and loss of time OF leaving his business
to come on and buy. Moreover he buys
the goods at home, carries smaller stock,
has fewer dead goods left over, and is en-
abled to do business more economically
than under tho old style. He buys, as a
rule, if lie is desirable customer, just
as cheapIy ms he could buy away from
home, at the headquarters Of trade.


These are not all the views that might
be taken of the Drummer question. No
doubt there are others that will readily
suggest themselves TO business men. But
they are enough to show that not little
can be said on both sides.

The GAZETTE yesterday described the
New York Herald as loyal Republican
or Independent paper" The "or' is well
put in.- Wilmington Commercial.


Does the Commercial deny that the
Herald is loyal paper ? We know
that there WAS time, while the Herald
opposed the war, that the Radical fanati-
cal sheets called it disloyal rebel organ.
Nor did the Herald cease to oppose the
country being plunged into war by the
want of statemanship, until it was COM
PEELED to do SO by an ignorant mob, led
on by paid mercenaries and those who
hoped to get Office. Nor did the Tribune
become an advocate for war until its edi-
tor, Greeley, and its publishers, were
compelled to yield to mob influence. The
war could have been averted by diplo-
macy and reason? and it should have
been. There was no sense in refusing to
talk or communicate with men before
the deadly work begun, when it was
known we would have to do SO after such
terrible cost OF life and treasure. States
manship consists in preventing such con-
sequences by. superior forecast and
knowledge, and the application of it at
the proper time. Had the advice of
James A. Bayard. John j. Chrittenden,
Stephen A. Douglas, and hosts of sup
porters of theCompromise Measures been
taken we might have escaped the wal
and its terribly disastrous effects, which
is now bearing down the value of every
acre of real estate in the country, and
making the land pay tribute to bonds
held by European bankers and capl.
talists.


The Pablo Ledger was also charged
with disloyalty, because it opposed the
extremists who favored war, and pub.
lished the constitution of the "Confeder.
ate States" with the remark that in some
respects it was an improvement upon
that Of the u S.


Now we hope the Commercial will not
proceed further in its heated frenzy and
declare the Herald continues to be dis
loyal because it commends and urges
Senator Bayard as the most fit and pro.
per man for the Presidency. Do not be
nasty to conclude that the Herald is in
tuenced by fellow-feeling in this mat
ter.


Those papers have all commended and
spoken in admiration of Mr.. Bayard's
ability and course, but the Commercial
doubts his loyalty" Well, let the car
pet-bagger enjoy its doubt to its expir
ing end.

Although Dolores had been so kind and
hospitable, she did not seem at all desirous of
keeping Picciola with her longer than the
latter had proposed to stay, but rather used
every effort to accelerate her departure; while
Picciola, on her side, was equally anxious to
pursue her journey.


(Which way shall you 60 ?" asked Dolores,
as she accompanied her to the door, their early
meal being over, and her guest ready to set
out.


Forward, I suppose" was the reply. There
would be no use in going back over the same
road I came"


"Well, I hope nothing will harm you, and
that you will get safely home. Will you have
to pass by here again, on your way back"


II cannot tell, yet. If I do, suppose I
shall see you," said Picciola. "Many thanks
for your goodness to mel shall not forget
it."


"Oh, you are very welcome! 1t was treat
to me to have you. Here is some lunch I've
put up for you," said Dolores, thrusting par
eel into her hand; "you will need it to-day"


Picciola again thanked her; and having
bid her warm adieu, set out once more on
her journey. Brave little pilgrim that she
was, she pushed on undaunted through the
forest, over as wild aud lonely path as the
one she had followed on the previous day.
She had become more used to the solitude
now and, besides, it seemed to her that she
must soon come to some settled place.


She had journeyed for five or six hours,
when the growth became less dense, and open
ings began to appear through the trees. She
was coming to tho end of the wood at last
and her heart was promptly gladdened by
the sight of several cabins scattered over a
broad sunny space, near shallow stream,
which flowed in rocky channel towards a
steep declivty in the distance, over which it
tumbled with FLASHING sound into an unseen
chasm below.


One or two men, half undressed, were sit.
ting idly about, smoking pipes !; and from their
appearance and that of their settlement, Pic
ciola rightly Judged that she had come upon
one of the numerous mining camps scattered
throughout the country-all of them recent
institutions for it was just about the period
when the "Gold Fever" had begun to prevail.


The men stared at her as she approached,
and it was not without feeling of timidity
that she proceeded on her way, for no signs
did she perceive anywhere of the presence Of
her own sex but presently, to her relief the
figure of a buxom, jolly-looking dame made
its appearance at the door of a building rath-
er larger than the rest, above which swung a

The brisk walk Of pedestrians for the last
few days, the demand Tor ovetcoats and
comforters told plainly that winter had
come. The coal and wood dealers have all
had plenty of work TO do, and we may fair
ly count upon 1t, that the days of soft sun
shine have departed and cold winter assert
ed his sway. Yesterday all the ponds upon
he ou'skir's Of the cl'y were frozen over,
the Bra.udywine was coated with ice and
the tea ket,le thawed out the chill blamed
pipes In many houses. But judging from
the reports coming in from other places We
have dwelt In tropical mildness during all
This cold snap. In Northern Dakota and
the Lower Missouri valley the thermome-
ter indicated on Saturday twenty degrees
below 10 zero. On the gulf of Mexico the
temperature varied from zero to thirty-two
degrees. We have cause to b. thankful
that It did not bite go hard about here.

was one of the most dashing officers Of
tho western army, and that no bugle blast

ringing tones of Hayes voice sweeping

in him as he spoke that indicated man

voice OF modest, unpretentious man,
who, by unanimous report, would decline
to cross the street, ifit took him out of
his way, to be President of the United
States. There was none Of that nervous
eyasiveness about him in the presence Of

Section of the Printing Bill provides


That such Public Printer shall publish in
the Official Journal, within sixty days after
the adjournment of each Legislature, all laws
and resolutions passed by such Legislative
Assembly; and it is hereby made the duty of
the Secretary of the Territory to deliver to
such Public Printer, within twenty days after
the adjournment sine die OF both houses Of
the Legislative Assembly, certified copies of
each and every law and resolution passed by
said Assembly at any session thereof.


The laws of the Eighth Legislative Assem-
bly, measured 1924 squares. Say the laws of
the Ninth session will make 1900 squares.
For the publication of these laws in the
"Official Journal" as per proposed new law,
the Territory will pay $4,000 This work, III
actual cash, will cost the Public Printer $500.
A net profit to the Printer of $1,000; and the
Territory viii not receive one dollars benefit
therefrom. Why does not the Mdpendent
mention this little matter? and put it before
the public in black type! If at this session,
or any other session, the laws should be
codifel, the single publication would cost the
Territory from SO, 900 to S 8, 900.


But this particular part of the pending
printing bill gouge does not stop even here.
After providing in the first clause Of section
6 for the publication in the official paper
within sixty days after the adjournment of
each Legislature, of all laws and resolutions
passed by each Legislative Assembly, it is
made the duty, in the second clause, of the
Secretary of the Territory, ''to deliver within
twenty days after the adjournment sine die Of
both houses of the Legislative Assembly, Ger
tilted copies of eacA and e1ery lao and resolu-
ton passed By said Assembly at ANY session
Mereot.' Under the provisions of this Sec
ton of the bill, then, the Public Printer can
call for and publish the entire acts of the Cod
ifcation, if he so elects, and demand and re-
ceive payment therefor, at the rate of $2.00
per Squire of ten lines of nonpareil measure
ment. Really, as before stated, there is no
limit to the robbery which this bill proposes
to legalize. We cannot, nor can anybody
else, compute or estimate the amount Of steal.
ing its several provisions cover. Will legis-
lators examine the printed copy of the bill
which the HERALD laid before them this
morning. We also lay the bill before the
public in the HERALD this evening, that every
body may be Informed of this unblushing at

to hear
The solemn tones that usher in the birth OF the New
Year;


With beating heart ard flashing eye,
We lift the sparkling wine on high,
And pledge the coming year.
One moment and the Old is past,
One moment, and the New we grasp;
The King is dead! Long live the King:
With loud acclaim welcome in,
The reign Of the New Year.
On the Threshold of the Past we stand,
And each way stretch an eager hand,
TO the eternal Future. and the past.
To the Old we loved love to the last,
To the New, we almost fear
All. who shall know what hopes and fears.
Wha, rapturous JOY, what safest tears,
The New Year brings to sons of men
Who stand tonight and welcome him.
With loved ones gathered near.
God grant from all sad hearts tonight;
Sorrow and pain may take their flight;
To every eoul, OF every creed,
God give to each it's every need,
To all glad New Year.

THE Port Gibsun Reveillc
trnthtnlly says: 1t is due to
every interest that, as far rs
it is possible, every dollar ex-
pended should be in the inter-
cstard forthc benefit of home.
1t is good advice TO spend
your money with yonr home
merchants, and the reasons
are enough and abundant, but
it is just as good in favor of
spending our money with our
home mechanics. We have
among US Woodworking, toll
ing mechanics, who are bri,n
full of patriotism, and ideDti-
fled in all respects with the
life or death of all Inc coun-
try. 1t is not only ungcner-
ons, but it is cruc.. to look to
these men to help rs in the
struggle to redeem the coun-
try from political misrule and
from pecuniary decay and
ruin, and then turn square a.
round and send abroad for
the very articleswhich can be
made on as good terms and
Of muc.., more durable char
acter at home. Much of this
grows out of Indifference
mnch out of thoughtlessness,
and more out of the false i'm
preston that there Is econo-
my in trading abroad. We
must maintain ourlndustries,
and we must encourage home
capital. There is such II blcn-
ding of common interests that
no one branch of business can
he Independent of another
We do not believe that 81 pur-
chaser can buy merchandise
abroad by retail or otherwise,
cheaper than he can of our
abrndantly supplied lnerch-
ants, that is,counting the cost
of transportation, and the
guarantee VIC have in buying
ut home that, if the goods are
not satisfactory, they will be
made so at once and prompt
ly. 1t is just as true that ev-
crything in the mechanical
line can be bought at home,
on as good terms,and of more
solid and durable workman
ship, than by sending abroad.
1t would be a grand thing if
our whole people would unite
in the cultivation of these
sentiments and in a detcrm-
incd effort to sustain home
interests.
