HAYDEN & CO. , McCook , Nek A GEKEKOUSI.Y impulsed and- emi nently distinguished journalist kindly intercedes thus : "It is common for small great men to speak with con tempt of the local newspaper. In that they imitate greater men in speaking of-greater journals which offend by manly criticism ; but the village newspaper makes more great men out of less material more bricks without straw-than any other factor in politics and is the one ladder on wnich men climb to local distinction as the beginning1 of wider fame. Local weeklies nave now extended from the country towns into most of the thrifty villages and the advent of a local newspaper has always dated the in creased thrift of the community. The local newspaper is the life of the lo cality ; And the measure of its sup port , as a rule , measures the advance ment of the people. Begin the new year by not only subscribing but pay ing for your local newspapers , They are the friends and helpmates of all seasons. ALL thinking beings have been made one for the other ; they owe patience one toward another. The good man remem bers that every rational being is his kinsman. Marcus Aurelius. NEVER allow yourself to do wrong because it seems trifling , nor neglect doing a good action because it seems to be small Chinese Maxim. ALL virtues grow from a compassion ate love of mankind.

Adtims I STIA'SOX & CQw Portland * Malmu . BY OUR ASSISTANT EDITOR. JOHN BuiGirronce said of Wendell Phillipsthat he was "the greatest ora- orator that now speaks the English tongue. " MK. and Mrs. Pitto are said to be almost heart-broken over the mar riage of their daughter to Frederick Doujjlass. A ST. Louis grand jury in recently making their report declared that " 80 per cent , of the crime and poverty in the city is caused by the use of intox icating liquors. " BEFORE the Western Press Asso ciation , lately , an Illinois editor read an essay on "How to make money in a printing office. " It's easily done , by turning it into a-mint. " FRED. DOUGLAS writes to newspa pers in praise of his moral courage in marrying a white woman. We have been of the opinion that the moral courage in that transaction was pos sessed by the woman , BROTHER JASPER , of Richmond , has been obliged to turn out of his church fourteen brethren and sisters who questioned bis doctrine that the "sun do move , " He is not at all disheart ened , however , and says that the sun do move and will continue to move if he has to excommunicate his entire congregation A LADY correspondent asks us what the "coque plumes" are that she so often sees mentioned in fashion arti-1" cles. The coque , itearest , is a polyg amous old bird that stalks about the lawn or a stable with proud and im perious-mein , and ; occasionally hops onto a pile of bric-a-brao and sings a glad and triumphant song when one of his wives rings out the joyful tid ings that another egg is born. He wears the plumes away tack in the dim past of his body * THE New York World says : "A literary gentleman in this city is en gaged on a book whicfc is tolerably certain to create a stir when it ap pears. The autnor claims to- have proof that Queen. Victoria was secret ly married to John Brown shortly af ter the death of the royal consort. He claims that Disraefi discovered the fact , and through threatening ; to disclose - > closeit secured ids advancement. The- collated evidence in support of this remarkable theory i& all to ap pear in this book. . A STORY comes frcm Wahoo whicb smacks- the traditional wit univer sally accredited to the spns of Erin . . We dc not vouch , for the- truth of the- story , but as veracity dbe& not enter into the quality of the joke , we repro duce it. It is said that Judge Reese , the newly elected Justice of the Su preme Court , recently paid a visit to. his old home.
