oQiearly
every
reading person in the elty, and the farmers of this immediate vtelnity. Bvery Week's Iarae Is, in fact,
TWO NEWSPAPERS,
In which all Advertisements appear for TOE PiyCE OF ONE ISSUE.
THE scepter of power In the mining vrorldjs passing, or perhaps has passed, from California to Colorado. Last year California's yield of the precious metals was 119,000,000, whilp that of Colorado was 123,000,000.
IT is said that the cotton factories of the South have paid a profit of twentytwo per cent., the past year, a fact that is drawing much attention to the South as a manufacturing district, and there are indications that large amounts of Northern capital will go there for investment
A DKKTAL magazine says thaC in this country alone twelve manufactories produce 10,000,000 teeth ahnually, "oY one to every flvo persons in the United States." The amount annually squandered on teeth is #1,000,000. A half a million of gold is used every year to fill teeth.
Tn* statistics of recent deaths in New York City are suggestive. The number Of deaths during the last throe months, was 10,820, an increase of 2,500 over that of the same period last year. Of the whole number, 7,349 v»ere in tenement houses, in private honses other than tenement, and 1775 in hospitals.
DssriTB the agitation of land leagues, desperate tenants, etc., over there, poor Ireland is shipping her favorite product potatoes, to Ne^r York. There have been 2,512 sacks of "murphies" already received by the White Star and Ouion steamers, anil more will follow shortly. It is something new for America to be fed by the Emerald Isle.
WOBD has been recoived in New York that the great statue of liberty, whiehis to be placed in the harbor of that city, has been completed byM. Bartholdi, the eminent French sculptpr. It will be remembered that the statue is the gift of French citizens, the Americans to furnish the pedestal, which will be 175 feet high, and will cost *200,000. The statue will be one of the notable ornaments of the great city.
THK editor of religious paper who promises to answer the inquiries of subscribe re, is asked by a widow who is about to marry again, what she shall do about the wedding ring. Shall she remove the old one, or continue to wear it. If the latter, shall she put the now one on the same finger or on another finger, or on the other hand. Here is evidence of a very deep religious experience.
GurriiA.u's divorced wife, who has Blnce remarried and new lives in Leadvllle, Col., and has been summoned to Washington as a witness in the case, says she never bad any idea of his being insane, although he was of an irritable aud peculiar temperament, and very disagreeable to live with. She says he was as sane ns most other men are. Evidently tho Ex-Mrs. Guiteau will not help the insanity theory of the case.
A Nnono ravisher was lynched and hung by a mob at Athens, O., Monday night. The affair waa as skilfully planned as a burglary, in order to prevent suspicion being aroused. Two of the parties led a third between them whom they pretended was a horse theief they wished to lodge in jail and then access to the jail was gained. The sheriff was then overpowered, the iron cell-door beaten down and the trembling .captive led forth to his death.
Tin Cincinnati Qasette thoughtfully -observes that, as the country becomes populous and powerful, the publie conscience seems to weaken aa to infractions of official Integrity. Great steals like those of the Star routers, which surprise for a day and are soon forgotten, would have broken up an administration in the days of Swartwout and Price. Now, however, the peculations are corrected by a faithful executive, then the peculators became idols of base politicians.
IT is reported that President Arthur has stated te members of Congress In vary positive terms that he will make no removals ot officers during his term ex«ept for cause and that members who are urging removals merely to make places for their personal friends cannot be gratified. We trust the President has been correctly reported In this. It Is a doctrine to which his party has been pledged for eight years past and which baa beta ardently advocated by ita speakers on the stump for several campaigns Its recognition and enforcement Is demanded by the public sentiment of all parties and the President will gain the confidence and coca men datioe of the whole country by carrying It oat. By the way, it begins to look as If Mr. Arthur was his own man and waa going to Jo things In his own way.
THBRB appears to be something of a boom in the newspaper business. St. Louis has recently given birttf to anew morning daily and projects are on foot to start new papers in New York and Cincinnati, each backed by a capital of |500,000. The Cincinnati paper is to be Democratic, becoming a straight rival of the Enquirer, while the New York paper will be Republican.
IT is proposed to honor the centennial anniversary of Daniel Webster's birth which occurs on the 18th of January next, by. a great celebration. The alumni of Dartmouth college, of which he was a graduate, are heading the movement and the* celebration will probably be held in Boston. No name in American history is more worthy of such an honor as that of Webster's.
GKORGIA is manifesting much interest in the subject of manufactures, particularly in the line of cotton, and already the State has come to be designated as the New Bngland of the South. It is predicted thas this reaching out in the direction of new industries will awaken a spirit which soon place Georgia in line with Virginia and that the rent in the solid South will be still further enlarged by the addition of Florida.
THB idea that the people of this country must look eastward for honesty and efficiency in the management of financial institutions, which has hitherto somewhat prevailed, has lived its day. The great collapse of the Newark bank a few days ago was followed by the Pacific National, of Boston, the loss though the speculation of the manager reading ?1,260,600. We have had no such bank management in the West so far heard from. How Boston must hang her head in shame over exposures such as these!
THB Boston Herald has figured out the profits of whisky selling, as follows: 57 drinks to a gallon at ten cents a drink, $5.70 cost, 92 to #2.80 per gallon. Often the same quality of whisky is sold at 15 cents a drink, thus realizing #8.55 per gallon. In the majority of saloons, the ten-cent whisky is manufactured from French spirits of raw alcohol, and costs, when "smooth" and ready for customers, #1.25 and #1.75 per gallon. Good, honest whisky, costing #3 to #3.75 a gallon by the barrel, is sold at fifteen to twenty ceqts a drink, or #8.50 to #11.40.
THB Supreme Court has overruled the nonsensical decision of Judge Biddle, in the celebrated Carver case, in which it was held that a hotel-keeper could lawfully sell cigars on Sunday, on the ground that they were "necessities" within the meaning of the law. Jndge Woods, in an able and somewhat caustic opinion, barks the Biddle decision badly, holding that the doctrine declared in the Carver case would give to the keepers of hotels an odioumonopoly which they have no more right to enjoy than any other dealers. The present decision is bottomed on good common sense, while the other was built on an effort to incorporate into hotel-keeping, as It is now uonducted, the rights and privileges of the "inn-keeper," under the old English common law. The two things are so different that the attempt could not have been otherwise than ridiculous, and so the deoision was regarded, alike by the bar and the public.
THB third attempt has been made to assassinate Guiteau. This persistent effort to execute summary vengeance apon tho assassin* even under circumstances of considerable personal danger to those making tho attempt, is an indication of the distrust felt by the popular mind in tho administration of justice by the courts. Tho feeling is that there can be no possible mistake in this case, because the fact of the murder is admitted and the only question is as to the moral responsibility of tho assassin. The people believe him to be responsible but are afraid that the technical rigmarole of the courts and the hoodwinking of the jury by export witnesses may result in clearing the wretch after all. However, it is a matter for congratulation that the shots aimed at Guiteau have failed, far, like every other person accused of crime, he haa aright to be heard in his defense and to be convicted in due course of law. ssaoBBsxmsmmsB
THB Indianapolis cigar-sellers are not satisfied with the decision of the Supreme Court, holding that they may not lawfully vend the leaf on Sunday. Henoe they have prepared a teat case—William Johns being the defendant—in which they will ask the court to declare the Sunday law unconstitutional, for the reaaoa that it permits Hebrews to follow their nsual vocations on that day, while all other people are exaladed from a similar privilege. The provision complained of la the last clause of the law, which says: "But nothing herein contained shall be construed to effect suoh as eonedentionsly observe the seventh day of the week aa the Sabbath." The argument of the opponents of the law Is, that if the question is to be one of conscience, why ahonld not those be excepted from the operation of the law who conscientiously believe In observing no day at all as Sunday, aa well aa they who conscientiously believe in observing Saturday? Can the Legislature make that an offense for a Christian which la not an offense for a Jew Or, if conscientious belief Is to be the test, why discriminate between the consciences of men? The question is an interesting one, and ita solution will be awaited with Interest.

TBTB Cincinnati Gasstte says the Atlanta exposition has been sufficiently puffed but has not been written up, in the sense of systematic reports of its contents. This the Gasstte proposes te remedy by sending the correspondents who reported the Centennial exposition to Atlanta to prepare full and accurate reports of the exposition. It says, further, that in point of general internet the exhibition ranks next to that made at Philadelphia and reflects great credit on the management and on the city of Atlanta which, sixteen years ago, was almost literally destroyed by the Union armies. In point of intelligence, enter* prise and freedom from seetional prejudice, Atlanta undoubtedly leads all Southern cities and ths exposition will be a great advertisement, not only for this one city, but for the entire South, which is now known to contain the most wonderful resources. It is wondrous rich in coal, iron, copper and wood materials capable af converting it into a great manufacturing as well as agricultural country. The Northern press has of late given much attention to the rare opportunities offered for the investment of capital in the South—and it will net belong until we may expect to see the character of that section radically changed by the erection of furnaces, mills and other factories, as predicted by Mr. Yoorheea in his address at the opening of the Atlanta exposition. When this comes to be, the change from the old slave-holding period will be marked indeed.
SBLDOM has the folly of youth and old age being jsined in marriage been more sadly illustrated than in the Christlaney case. At the time of the marriage Mr. Christiancy was a United States Senator and had a fair reputation for puritj^and integrity among all who knew himrJBTe was a man past middle age, with grown: up children, yet in a foolish momedft he permitted hiipself to become infatuated by the charms of Millie Lignpfttpl, young girl in the Treasury depnrtmeai at Washington.

After the munificent manner in whfeth the widow and family of President Jareld have been provided for, members of Congress will hardly feel disposed to deny Mrs. Lincoln an increase of pension, though it will probably be a of wonder to many men, who gap] large families on #1,000 andfl that a woman with no on! ant on her cannot live, ill comfort, on #3,000 a year, livings and livings.

A fashion writer complains that there is too much sameness about our waddings, and wishes some one would introduce a|aovelty. How would it do for the best man to ring a comic song, or for the bridal couple to do a double dog dance before the ceremony is performed. "Want any spices or doves?" aaked a peddler of a saloon keeper one day last week. "Vat for I vant am ?*'asked the proprietor. "To take away the smell of beer from the breath," exclaimed the peddler. "Take away dot smell OT beer!" exclaimed the man behind the counter. "You got somedings rat makes der smell stay on, I buys him."
Says the Philadelphia Record: Not content with making man a higher developement of the ape, Mr. Darwin la now engaged in tracing the origin of the human race back to the earth worn. He has just put forth his investigations on this point In a book. His theory may tend to humble the pride of some persons, but it had already bees suggested and enforced in the tuneful hymns of Isaac Watts.

THE BETTER WORLD.
CHURCHES, PASTOR AXD PEOPLE
Many preachers seek to impress their .hearers with the fad that life is short, but forget it in their sermons.
In a recent sermon at Plymouth Church, Beecher said that Methodism was not fit to live, because it had cast out an an^el by excommunicating Dr. Thomas, of Chicago, for heresy.
Mr. Ingersoll, according to The Christian Union, knowa more about the Christian religion than a boy would know of a chestnut from prieking his fingers with the burr.

A religious paper relates a moral story wherein a wife cures her husband of profanity at the dinner table by swearing herself, to show him how it appeared. This is doing evil that good may come, a mode hardly sanctioned by the moral law.
At a prominent colored church in San Francisco, recently, a #10 collection amounted to only #7.50 when the discount on mutilated coin was made, and this lead the minister to preach from the text. "A false coin is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.
A Congregational minister of Portland, Me., recently delivered a very striking lecture on "Pernicious Literature," and, as a result of his appeals, the dtizens have taken dedsive steps to prevent the sale of sensational papers and books. This example might be followed with advantage in other cities.
The New York Herald supports a minister of that city in the declaration that dancing, as now carried on, is unhealthful but, says the Herald, the old style of dancing, when the ceremony consisted more of an interchange of courtesies than of miscellaneous embracing, was a most beautiful and healthgiving amusement.
Most of the preachers of St Louis have to set apart next Sunday to serns, collections and subscriptions for jjtihe furtherance of hamane projects, and icularly for the purpose of aiding he Socicty for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to carry on its work. It is a of true civilization when dumb anil secure such powerful advocacy, 'he Appletous, who have published
North American Review, decline to so any longer, becauses the editor ifsists in publishing blasphemous artifrom the pen of Colonel Ingersoll. iy are willing to allow discussions upreligious topics, but refuse to use presses to disseminate infidel argute, in which refusal the public will tain them. The Rev. O. B. Frothingham, of New York, a somewhat eccentric gentleman of ability, who has been a member of several denominations, and the inventor of several religious systems, without getone to suit him, finally drifted, some time ago, into indefid^lity, but has now concluded to reverse himself and accept the doctrines of Christianity again. The best thing Mr. Frothingham can do under the circumstances is to go to a monastery, and hereafter keep hia views jo himself. t,i *i
