Petersburg base bail cranks hav’nt yet learned the season tor this sport closed nearly a mouth ago, and the clubs of that town are playing the national game with .as much enthusiasm as ever. Each pfaver is supplied with an overcoat and a small stove to keep up his courage.—Washington Democrat. There is more j>»y in a printing office over one sinner who pays in advance and abuses the editor on every occasion than ninety and nine who borrow a paper and sing its praises without contributing a cent to keep it out of the poor house. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth and obtain material for fencing it on time without security. Reformation is being worked out with a vengeance at Elkhart. The other day a dozen or more of the “society” voung ladies united in a boycott against the “society” young men who smoke cigarettes, whereupon the voung men retaliated by organizing a crusade against and" will cut the acquaintance of any “society” young lad\ who chews gum or powders her face. It must be “awfully awful” to be in society at Elkhart. For the past several months The Democrat .office has been crowded with job printing tor the various business enterprises of the city, and we still have orders ahead for nearly 75,000 impressions. The people know what firstclass work is and where to gofcit.

Our old friend and patron G. W. Massey, of Oakland City, in remitting for hjs subscription pays us the following compliment which is duly appreciated. And we may also add that The Democrat is on a sound paying basis and one of the best newspaper properties in this section ot the state. This has been brought about by fair treatment to all and the best news service possible: 3 I am welt pleased with your paper, considering it much better than it ever was.

THE LOWLY 9ISTEU. “Dtlwted” •• the Keaidenta ef the Greet West. The meek and lowly oyster passes through many hands aud is subjected to various kinds of treatment before be appears upon the table to tickle or disappoint (as the case may be) the palate of voracious man. He may coine pickled, stewed or tried, or iu any of the numerous guises evolved by the inventive cook; but he too seldom comes in his own shell, aud that circumstance affords the wtlv oysterman his opportunity for enhanced profits. There are tricks in oyster handling as well as in other occupations which cater to the stomach of man. The oyster, the most guileless denizens of the deep, on land too often becomes a delusion and even a snare. Nevertheless the traffic iu oysters amounts each season to enormous aud increasing sums, and the bivalve becomes every year more common in western communities where formerly it was rarely seen. Discussing with a Democrat reporter the profits of oyster handling

in towns remole from the source oi supply, a Petersburg restaurant mau was disposed to lake a gloomy view of his perquisites in the business. ‘•Of course,” said he, “there’s money to be made when oysters are served on the premises, but even then the hog who thinks that an oyster stew entities him to a!' the crackers, pickles and butter in the house may knock you out of every cent of profit. In retailing bulk oysters we myst be careful where we buy them and how wo handle them. It pays better to buy them at Baltimore, even at higher prices than it does to take them off the hands of small jobbers and other middle men. Why ? Because of the pump water— that’s why. A tub of oysters direct from the packer will stand so many quarts' of water, and it is the overruling passion of every oysterman to begin ‘diluting’ oysters a> soon as the drayman who unloads them has turned his back on the tubs. It i* plain, therefore, that in passing through the hands of several middlemen so much water will .he added to the oysters that there will remain absolutely no chance for the retailer to go into the water business on Ids own book. Ami water, you should know, is the oyster retailer’s chief source of profit.” “Then the consumer has to pay for extra water, no matter who has handled * he oysters?” - “Yes,” sighed the oysterman ; “the consumer gets the water just the same.” A little racket occurred oil the Main street Monday afternoon in which bricks Hew in the air.
