TEIHtB HAUTE, INDIANA.

Saturday Morning, February 3,1872.

'I HE Greencastle •'Banner" wants the President of the Editorial Association of Indiana to step to the front and explain why he has not called the regular semiannual meeting as provided for in the bylaws

THE PEBMISSIVE liquor bill now under consideration in the New York Assembly —giving towns the right to vote whether liquor shall be sold within their bounds or not—provides that certain public officers mu»t notify licensed dealers of the names of persons who become intoxicated, and that then it shall be illegal to sell or give liquor to such persons. The notice may also be given by 6ve citizens, or by a parent, child or wife. A provision like this would be operative in the rural districts, but in large cities it could be made only partially so. People in large cities do not know their neighbors, and the warning provided for would be nearly useless.

THE "Express" revives the old lie that Hon. D. W. Voorhees, in a Sullivan county speech, called Union soldiers "Lincoln dogs." That charge has been proven a base falsehood by the best citizens of Sullivan county, as the "Express" well knows. Our cotemporarv should stop reiterating that lie!—Journal.

That charge has been proven true by many of the best citizens of Sullivan county, and the same evidence can bo produced again whenever Mr. VOORHEES wants to see it. He iB the last man on earth whom any political opponent would be tempted to "lie" about. There is enough of truth available against him, in all conscience. We are aware that he has denied nearly everything that he said and did during the war, but that denial does not count for much.

PROBABLY nothing strikes the American reader as more carious than the daily "Court Circular" which graces the columns of the London "Times" and other English journals. Before us lies one, dated Windsor, December 26, in which the civilized world is gravely informed that "the Queen-walked in the grounds this "morning." Every time her Majesty walks, rides, attends church, or performs any of the ordinary duties or pleasures of life, the fact 13 chronicled and transmitted to every country which either directly or through translations becomes acquainted with the feelings and actions of the English people. The world has been taught and has believed for many years that her present Majesty of Great Britain is a very worthy and excellent woman, but the flunkeyism which leads grown men and women to watch with eagerness her slightest movement is, we opine, entirely beyond the comprehension of many of the inhabitants.

THE lion has been bearded in his den— in other words, a new religious journal has been established in Rome, opposing the doctrine of Papal infallibility. The Philadelphia "Press" hails this event as one more indication of the new atmosphere of religious toleration, civil liberty, and municipal reform into which the Eternal City is rising. While the Pope lives in the Vatican and alternately com plains of being a prisoner and plans jour neys and excursions, the new government is remodelling and renovating the houses, cleaning and lighting the streets, and ex terminating the pauperism of ancient Rome. Everywhere, except in the palaces of the patricians, are seen pictures of the King and. flags of united Italy. Bibles are now sold publicly on the Corso, and, more wonderful than this, the once sacred dignitaries of the Papal government are criticised and talked about as other human beings are.

As HERETOFORE announced, the Erie Railway King has concluded an arrangement to lease two more connecting roads, the Southern Central, running from Oswego to Fair Haven on Lake Ontario, and a road running from Goshen, Orange county to the New Jersey State line. The "Times" correspondent points out that the former road will open up certain coal mines in which the Erie Railway is interested. One of the most prolific sources of fraud in the management of Erie, has been the employment of the road to carry at nominal rates the produce of the private enterprises of the Ring Directors. This has the double advantage of helping them to increase their gains and keeping down the receipts of the road, for which, some day or other as BARNARD ia not immortal, and even TWEED has been shown to lack omnipo tence—the rascals knew they might have to aecount. In the meantime, the "Times' contents itself with admiring the childlike innocene of the managers of the small roads in trusting their prosperity in the hands of the Erie men. They have prob ably forgotten the famous case of the Atlantic and Great Western, in which the Ring first leased the road and then got an injunction from CARDOZO'S mill, for bidding payment of the consideration or any suit to compel payment.

ONE of the reasons urged by the New York "Tribune" for opposing the renomination of President GRANT is the follow ing: "There are hundreds of active prom inent, influential Republicans who have been expelled from office by him or bis instruments, and who cannot, in, the nature of things, work for his re-election as they would work for one who had never treated them as enemies. Who doubts that it is so in other States?" The "Times and Chronicle" thinks "this sounds some what &trangely, coming from such a source. If this argument has real weight, how much mote effectively does it bear, against that sort of civil'service reform which proposes to ignore all political "claims," appointments to office—giving to Democrats and Rebels an equal chance with Republicans, provided they have the same merely scholastic attainments. For our part, we rate at a very low figure the Republicanism of any man who, when disappoiated in office-seeking, or when even justly removed from office, straightway loses all interest in the success of the Republican party, or rushes headlong into the ranks of the Democracy.

A SEVERE CRITIC soggest that Mr. GREELEY'S charming metaphor in Mon day's leading article—"Men and breth ren! a new leaf must be turned over or there are breakers ahead"—is fully as good as the famous "I smell a rat I see him floating in the air let us nip him in the bud."

Mr. Stout's Hard Luck:

Eli Peikini in the N. Y. Commercial Adver tis er.] They are telliBg this good story to-day on Andrew V. Stout, the well known President of the Shoe and Leather Bank

Mr. Stout is known as a shrewd man He and Daniel Drew are the main pillars in the Fifth Avenue Methodist Church and what he and Daniel don't know to this time has not been found out.

A few mornings since Mr. Stout was coming down in the cars, when he sat in such confidential proximity to a sympa thizing pickpocket, that the later was tempted into the acceptance of Mr, Stout's pocketbook, containing valuable papers and $150 in greenbacks. Then the pickpocket said good morning to Mr, Stout, and left.

On arriving at the bank Mr. Stout dis covered his loss. He was astonished that he, a shrewd old New Yorker, should have his pocket picked. "Pshaw 1" he said to his secretary, "no man could ever pick my pocket I'm too smart for that."

But the pocket book, with the money and valuable papers, waa gone, and the next day Mr. Stout advertised in the "Herald." H» said if the man who took his pocket book would return the papers, he would give him the money and $25 besides. The next day he got a confiden tial note from a party who said a friend of hm had the pocket book all safe, and that he would call at the bank the next day and arrange the matter. The next day the man was at his post. He told Mr. Stout that he would have to go with him a few blocks, where the party who had the pocket book awaited them off they started Mr Stout and his hon est friend—for a Center street restaurant As they entered the restaurant, Mr, Stout's friend told him to await in the fiont room a moment, and he would go inside and see the man ifho had the pocket book. In a momept he reterDed with the message that the man wouldn't give up the pocket book for $25. wanted $35. "But I only advertised to give $25, Baid Mr. Stout, with an eye to business "This is an extortion." "Well," said Mr. Stout's friend, 'I'll go back and reason with him, and try and get the pocketbook for $25." Andhedlsap pearedinto the back room.

In a moment he returned, smiling. "Well, Mr. Stout," he said, "he will take $25, but he wants the money before he gives up the pocketbook." "AH right," said Mr. Stout, blandly, "here is' $25. Take it to him and bring back the papers." "One word, Mr. Stout," said the man. confidentially "this thing is to be stricty between ourselves. You will never ask any questions, tell anything, or seek fur ther knowledge, will you?" "No, never. I give you my word as President of the Shoe and Leather Bank not to say anything about it." "All right then—mum is the word, said Mr. Stout's friend, as he passed into the back room with the money.

Mr. Stout waited patiently for his re turn—waited five, ten, fifteen minutes bat alas! his friend never came back, and the shrewd President returned to the bank a sad and ruined man! He says his friend is welcome to the $25, but wouldn't have the story get into the newspapers or around among his friends for $10,000. He says it wouldn't be fair for he promised, solemnly promised his friend when he gave him the $25, not to mention thematter!

A Dog which Does Not Forg«t From the Bridgeport (Connecticut) Standard,] There is a large Newfoundland dog in this city, about ten years old, which doubtless one of the most knowing spec! mens of the canine family living. When it was about six months of age, a couple of young men, in order to have|a little fun tied a tin kettle to its tail and sent it rtm ning through the Btreets. It was sport for the boys, but the act was never forgotten by the dog. Till this day it shows signs of displeasure at the sight of those young men. One of them removed from the place, and several years after the tin kettle affair he was visiting in the city and called at the residence of the dogr owner. The dog, hearing the voice of the young man inside the house, resorted to a number of devices to gain admission Upon being admitted, it sprang for the throat of the visitor, with jaws extended The family interferred, of course, and the dog was removed from the house. From that day (when the kettle was tied to its tail)to this, neither of thoseyoung men can enter the gate leading to the house if the dog is at home. On one occasion a beggar called at the back door for something to eat, and was plentifully supplied by the good lady of the house. While passing out through the yard, the beggar threw away some of the food the dog saw it and taking the unthankful solicitor of alms by the leg of his pantaloons, walked him hurriedly out through the gate No beggar has been permitted by that dog to enter the gate since. negro once kicked this dog, and it hat had such a disliking for all persons of that color since that not one, without its permission is allowed on the premeses, A few years since, the owner of the dog was taken sick and died. The dog was deeply affected by the event, and refused to be comforted for many days and weeks thereafter. When the bell was tolled for the funeral the dog seemed to understand its mournful import, and from that day to this the tolling of the bell causes the dog to break forth in most dismal wailings.

A Smart. Boy.

From the St. Peter [Minn.) Tribune.]. Johnny Rogers—everybody here knows him—is only five years old, and com menced attending school this winter. He is as full of mischief as he can be, and a few days ago his teacher, having exhausted every power of moral suasion to make him behave with proper decorum, wrote a note to the principal something like the following: "Mr. Metcalf—The bearer deserves a severe punishment."

The teacher gave the note to Johnny and told him to carry it to Mr. Metcalf. Johnny evidently smelt a mice—it seemed to him that something was wrong, and he concluded he wouldn't go to the principal's room. Meeting a little Norwegian boy in the hall, he inveigled him into delivering the note, and went off to play himself. The principal read the note, and at once honered the note presented" by "the bearer," by giving him all it called for. The innocent Norwegian lad departed a sadder if not a wiser boy. Moral—Good little boys shouldn't deliver notes for smart little boys like Johnny Rogers.

P. S.—This is not the Johnny Rogers that was burnt at the stake, leaving a wife with nine small children, &c.

IT IS just becoming known to the outside world, that Eugene Sullivan, who killed Toohill, last summer, gave all the money he had left—about five hundred dollara—to the widow and orphans of his victim. It appears that Sullivan's impulses were evil, but his deliberate acts unexceptionable.—Evcnmlle Journal.

Correspondence of the New York Post.] It is rather amusinj to us in the diamond regions of South Africa to. read the accounts in the American papers of the diamond country. Most writers on this subject in American newspapers have either heard or dreamed of what thev tell.

The stones found here have been known to some merchants, who espied them shining on the bodies of the naked savages, and ascertaining where they found them, monopolized the trade, nn}il one unlucky day, a white child found one of the stones, and the news burst suddenly upon the world. The place where diamonds are found is a large district of country belonging to Dutch Beer farmers and native tribes. The "diamond-growing" country is ascertained by the existence of great quantities of garnets on the surface, which are thrown away, although in civilized lands garnets are used in jewelry. These beautiful large stones are thrown about as worthless. Find garnets and you will find diamonds. The diamond region extends many mile9 in various directions, and new fields are constantly discovered. In one*region, however, on the Vaal River, the diamond-seekers have congregated, and have built.citiesof tents, which are gradually giving place to houses. Shops are numerous, clothing' and provisions cheap. Water in some places has been scarce, but there are wells digging from which water can be drawn at the rate of sixpence (English money) a bucket, paid to the company who dug the well. Even for the oxen water must be bought.

At first the largest companies of diggers, were at a place on the Vaal river, and these, of course, water was plenty. The gravel was carted to the river to be washed, and the diamonds washed out from among the stones. The pebbles, by the way, are beautiful, each one peculiar to itself. They are set in pencils and seal rings. At present the fields on the river. are nearly abandoned, the most popular place being a flat called "Du Toil's Pan," where the diamonds are separated by sieves and sorted on tables, instead of being washed out, as on the river. There are collected thousands of people who live in tents- and spend their days digging in the earth. About two miles away is De Beer's Farm, which is now a rival in size and richness to "Du Toil's Pan."

The land iB divided into small plota, or "lots," as we would say in .America. The Boers say erven and the diggers say claims. Each clain is about fifteen feet square. Originally £2wotlld buy a claim, but now the price has risen to £500. When a man works well, the allowance is about one white man and three blacks to each, claim some dig, Bome sift, and some sort the stones for diamonds. These are found of all sizes, from those as lai^e as a pin's head up to some larger than the Koh i-noor. Some diamonds are clear and.brilliant, some are opaque and some yellowish. For the latter the people of India give a good price, and. wear them their belts and turbans. These yellow, or "off-color" stones, do not sell well ia the markets of civilized nations. Sometimes one sees black diamonds. Some of them are beautifully regular, as if cut others seems to be fragments, as if broken from large stones ana others are round. At De Beer's place some persons find stones every day, even as many as a do-en in a day, and some become rich if they happen to find stones clear and without flaws. Many, however, have found nothing) and go away poorer than they came.

The value of diamonds is ascertained on the field in the following manner: The weight of a good stone is squared and multiplied by two, the result being its value in pounds sterling: For instance if a stone weighs four carats we have: 4x4=16:16x2=32 value of the stone, £32: if therefore, a man has a good stone and has its weight, he knows just what it is worth. Diamonds are not cut here, of course mo3t of them are taken to Holland. Brokers are here, of course, to deal in diamonds rogues are here to knock one down and rob him, and other rogues to rob him without knookring him down. Still, as a whole, the place is orderly and respectable.

People come here by way of Cape Town or Natal, generally in wagona drawn by oxen. They live in the wagons and in tents, and hire natives at about £1 a month to work for them. The camp is at a little distance from the field. Employers and employed spend the day in digging, carting, etc., going back to their tents at sunset. The smaller diamonds are, as a rule, found near the surface the larger ones below. A miner digs down about forty feet, not often deeper. Accidents are becoming rather common by the falling-in of the walls of these claims after they have been dug to that depth. The route to the place is by steamer to England, thence by steamer to Algoa Bay, and by "omnibus" to the diggings. If Americans but knew how easy of access the place is and what a chance there is to make money, they would come in throngs and for those who have men ey it is a tempting place for speculation There are marvellous (and true) tales ^oor men, who came on foot, with noth ing but a spade, turned up a stone or stones worth thousands, and went home rich. Such cases are numerous. One poor boy walked a thousand miles to get to the fields in a week he sent his old mother a check for a thousand pounds, was favored by fortune and has since gone home rich.

A YANKEE IN SOUTH AMEBICA.

A Yankee Trick.

A Boston correspondent of the Rutland (Vermont) "Herald," thus explains the "dark ways of the lobbyists:

A friend of mine, who has been member of the Legislature for years, was talking to the principal 'lob byist' at the State House, a short time since. My friend said to him,

Well, Mr. yon never got around me when you wanted to carry through any of your schemes.' 'Oh, yes,' replied the other, 'I always got some honest old farmer to take a seat next to yonrs and tell you that his particular friends in the country wished it done, and it would be great benefit to their towns, and yon always voted just as I wanted yon to.'"

AN exchange says: "Botts shot his rival, Stokes snot his enemy, Mrs. Hyde shot her employer, Mr. Hopner shot his son, and now it only remains for Isaac to shoot Mrs. Partington, and the list will be complete.

MB. JOHN Martin, who lives in Cannon county, Tennessee, is reported by the Woodbury Press as being one hundred and nineteen years old. He is unquestionably the "oldest inhabitant" in that State.

THE principal occupation of the Pittsburg bottle works is the making of whiskv bottles.

I KE9IEMBEK, 1 REMEMBER.

What childhood*! pleasures were.

Then the bowers,—then the bowers Were-blithe as blithe could be: And all their radiant flowers

As childhood's Boses were,

Wild music like a bird s. Now I sing, love,—now I sing, love,

2ndians.

I like to tell of these things, because the idea seems to prevail in America that it is all a hoax, and that even if dia monds are found, they are worthless. Of course, it is policy in Englishmen to keep Americans away, and as far as possible make them believe thst "it is naught." They know they have a poor chance with Yankee workmen, and so wish I hem to believe that it is all a "humbug. It is difficult to send our diamonds home, because of the high duty imposed by the American government, and the stones cannot be cut in America. Still, if Americans knew the true circumstances, they would not lose tbe chance to try their fortunes in these "diggings."

A fine Italian air. But it's not so glad a thing, love,

As childhoods ballads were

I was merry,—1 was merrv When my little lovers came,1? With a lily, or a Cherry,

A heart rich with charity's grace. That will do whatever it can

In aiding the whole human race.

The Wind through the narrow street sWeeps, In cellars its whi«tie is heard. Up tenement stairs fiercely leaps,

As fades the last lustre of light.

The night with its aspect of gloom Appears at the window or door. And soon he invades the.cold room

J.C fi o: a

Its music is sad and is feared Tbe child in its father's arms wakes, The mother stands grim with affright. The father with chilliness shakes,

And mooks at the ills of the peor, They shiver and shake in distiess. And wrap themselves up, in the rags. Not having a shoe or a dress.

As beggars cant walk on the flags.

The miser he sleeps in his chair-. The merchant is counting his gains..: Rich ladies have gone to the fair,

The poor they are aching with pains: In the halls of the great are arrayed Stout servants in tinsel and gold.. The dinner in silver is laid—

But not for the poor and the old

The snowflakes aro gathering fast, On cottage, on steeple, and mast .. In tars the gay sleighers drive past.

Unheeding the poor and the blast, The children are calling for bread

The parents are dying or weak, Oh, charity, where is thy tread. The form, all so gentle and meek? ..

If Christians there be in this land, Advance to the rescue, nor halt Extend to the poor a kind hand,

For poverty's not their own fault .. Give of your full stere a small part, To the orphan, the father ana wife

Oh 1 give, and ennoble your heart. Their prayers will attend you through life.

LIFE IN ALASKA.

Where tbe Ladies, Gorgeous In Soot and Bed Faint, Wear a Bone in Their Upper Lip.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia ''Press" describes life in Alaska aa follows: The village of Sitka contains forty or fifty houses. The population consists of one thousand Indians and two thousand dogs. Of the dogs, all but one are of the same sharp-eared, wolfish type seen among the Indians of the plains. The exception was a bandy-legged, lop-eared cur of civ ilized breed, the only one among the two thousand that showed a lack of civility by barking at our heeli. The houses much more resemble the semi-subterran' ean abodes of the Laplanders and Ea

uimaux than the wigwam? of A.merican Like the oak' described by the American poet, they extended as far into the earth as above it. Some of them are from twenty to thirty feet square, and built of very wide cedar planks, many of them more than four feet across, worked out by these rude people.

We entered several. Creeping through aperatures, both square ana round, not more than three feet in. diameter, we descended flights of steps into the large single room. -In the center of each a fire was built on the grqpnd, and in the center of each roof a hole, out of which passed a small portion of the smoke, the most of it remaining for the benefit of the salmon hanging over our heads, and to make sore eyes for the inmates. The whole^ inside is floored, except the fireplace in the middle. On both sides are the sleeping-places, covered with skins and blankets, and in some instances separated by low partitions. In the rear, and on shelves below the dormitories, were stored potatoes anil dried salmon, in small bales, covered with matting. Their largest potatoes are tbe size of a hulled walnut.

The ladies beautify their complexions with soot and red paint, and still further enhance their charms by wearing a bone through the upper lip, the size of which is increased from year to year until, in some of the old ones, it attains a width of two inches. An Indian lady thus adorned, with her coarse, black uncombed locks hanging in matted profusion around her beautiful pig eyes and lop ears, is only resistable to those whose affections are thoroughly preoccupied. The delights of courtship must be doubled by the pleasant aroma of salmon which per* vades the premises and, as I have heard, their persons.

Among them the crow and the raven are held sacred, and fly around their abodes undisturbed. They live mainly on fish, and have a monopoly of the trapping. There is but one white .trapper in the country, and he is at Cook's Inlet, six hundred miles west northwest. Became down to Sitka once to go to Kodiak Learning that no vessel would sail for a month, and growiog tired of the place, he said he wonld take "a little walk." He started with his rifle and a pocket full of salt, and traversed alone that moan tain wilderness for three weeks. He had no covering at night but the skins of freshly slaughtered animals. He return ed in good condition, and in answer to questions, boasted that he had lived bet* ter than his questioners.

Studying Stars by Lantern. Bev. James Freeman Clarke, of Boston, has turned his wits in a novel direction by inventing an astronomical lantern. It is asmall dark lantern, one side of which is fitted for paper cards, on which are punched by little pin holes, the various constellations in the heavens, so that boy, or girl for that matter, who is study ing the stars has only to go out o' nights with his or her lantern and a supply of cards, put the constellations in succession in front of his light, and then follow out the originals in the sky. It saves him the trouble of running into the house every few moments to study up his charts.

PROSPECTUS.

NEW YORK TRIBUNE,

FOR 1872.

The consolidation of Italy, so long frag mentary and impatont, into one powerful State, with Rome as its capital tho l^nmiliatien of France through a series of crashing defeats, ending with the*siege and capitulation of her proud metropolis the expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish throne, and the substitution for thom of a icion of the most liberal among royal houses the virtual absorption of the kingdoms of Sax•ny. Wnrtemberg. Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, tho Hanse Towns, 4c-, under the headship of Prussia, into the triumphant and nowerful empire of Qermany and tho arming of Russia to reassert her preponderance ia the councils of Europe, or to prosecute her often postponed but never relinquished designs on the great city lounded by Constantine, and the vast but decaying and anarchial dominion of the Sultan, all combine to. invest with profound interest the ever-changing phases oi our tidings from the Old World. THS TRIBCX*. through trusted correspondents stationed at all points in Europe where great movements are in progress or imminent, aims to present a complete and instruc:ivo panorama of events on that continent, anil to mirror the prolonged struggle between middle-age Feudalism and Ecolesiasticism on tho one hand and Nine-teenth-Century skepticism and secularism on the other. Recognizing a Divine Providence in all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own recent convulsion) to evolve from strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, a fairer and happier future for the toiling masses of mankind.'

In our own country, a war upon corruption and rascality in office has beon inaugurated in our City, whereby the government of our State has boen rovolutioniied through an initial triumph of Reform which surpasses the most sanguine anticipations. It ii morally certain that the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to aay locality or any party, but that its purifying influence is destined to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking veniality, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by trade, and confiding it in these worthiest and fittest to wield it. To this beneficent and vitally seeded Reform, TBE TBIBUNE will devote its best energies, regardless of personal inteiests or party predilections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to office as of all New Departures the most essential and auspicious.

The virtual surrender by the Democratic party of its hostility to Equal Rights regardless of Color has divested our curront politics of half their bygone intensity. However parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the fundamental principles which have hitherto honorably distinguished tho Republicans are henceforth to bo regarded as practically aceepted by the whole country. The right of every man to his own limbs .and sinews—the equality of all citizens before the law—the inability of a State to enslave any portion of its people—the duty of the Union to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoyment of his liberty until he forfeits it by crime—such are the broad and firm foundations of our National ediSco and palsied be the hand which shall seek to displace them I Though not yet twenty years old. the Republican party has completed the noble fabric of Emancipation, and may fairly invoke thereof the sternest judgment of Man and the benignant smile of God.

Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is one ol Peaceful Progress, To protcct the weak and the humble from violence and oppression—to extend the boundaries and dif* fuse the blossings of Civilization—to stimulate Ingenuity to the production of now inventions for economizing Labor and thus enlarging Production—to draw nearer to each other the producers ot Food and Fabrics, of Grains and Metals, and thus enhance the gains of Industry by reducing the cost of transportation and exchanges between farmers and artisans—such ia the inspiring task to whioh this Nation now addresses itself, and by which it would fain contribute to the pregress, enlightenment, and happiness of our race. To this great and good work. THE TEIBUHK contributes its icalous, perpist efforts.

Agriculture will continue to be more especially eluei dated in its Weekly and SemiWeekly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of the soil will steadily contribute. No farmer who sells S3C0 worth of produce per annum can affoQl to do without our Market Reports, or others equally lucid and comprehensive. If he should read nothing else but what relates to his own calling and its rewards, wo bolieve that no farmer who can read at all can afford t» do without such a journal as THIS TRIBCSE. And we aspire to make it equally valuable to those engaged in other departments of Productive Labor. We spend more and more money on our columns each year, as our countrymen's generous patronage en&bles us to do and we are resolved that our issues of former years shall be exceeded in varied excellence and interest by those of 1872. Friends in every State! help us to make our journal better and better, by sending in your subscriptions and increasing your Clubs for the year just before us!
