But even the man who will argue that a paper is a paper, no matter who reads it or who does not, is not in it as an algebraic quantity with the individual who argues with all seriousness, and for business reasons, that a paper with greater circulation can afford to and should charge advertisers infinitely less for its space than it did when its circulation was much smaller. And when such suggestion is backed up by the assertion that the paper, because of its greater circulation is able to render this service cheaper, and that to charge more.or even the same amount, is a specieB of several kinds of robbery, we are inclined to represent the aforesaid quantity of an algebraic and attenuated nature with a symbol selected from the lat ler end of the alphabet, and pro ceeding the same by both the minus and plus signs, put it up as some thing for convenience in the solu tion of certain abstract mathemat ical propositions. The San Francisco woman who left all her worldly wealth, consist ing of $1400 in greenbacks, done up in a newspaper and lying in the seat of an Oakland ferry boat while she absent-mindedly walked away from it, is no longer troubled with tg care.

Owing to ill health and the in firmities of age the report is again .current that Queen Victoria wili ab dicate the British throne in favor of Wales.

That is the difference between success and failure in political undertakings. Gold democrats in Nebraska have started a Morton boom, and it is not impossible that the man of Ar bor Lodge may be kept before the people of the country until after the November elections for the purpose of representing the vital issues of the administration at the ballot box. J. Sterling Morton is by no means a novice on the sacrificial altar and his nomination, which would of course carry with it no suggestion of an election, would have the effect of making his career in martyrdom none the less coin pel te.

She used to say that nothing would induce her to marry man who was a widower, or wore a wig, or lived in New Jersey. And the man of her choice was gnilty of all three of these enormities.
