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. Buddhist Scrip

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. The Judge was busily-
engaged 151 receiving congratulations ,
from old ! friencte and makingnew - ac
quaintance , when presently an honest
old Irishman was introduced , and tfi&
