The Isabella Enterprise heads a column "Press Pillerings," thus scorning deceit and plagiarism. Tbe Cedar Springs Clipper is sound to core on this idea : 'The man who oomniits suicide befare next November is a recreant and a traitor to bis party." Tayler, of the Charlotte Repubücan, after only two monthsof wedded bli&s says "o-ficially" that's "h's no trick at all to get married, but it's business to keep house." Tlic following froni the St. Louis Greeuback Herald isgoing the roundsof the press: "It newspaper offices were selling at seyenty-five cents apiece, the greenbackers in ibis locality could not buy an ink spot." The last issue of the Hiil.-dalc Standard contained a uiap showing the course on Baw Beese lake, on which the rpgretta recently took jilace, and where the jracticing of the Hillsdale four, now fanaous the world over f'or their victories in the aquatic line, was done. The Eaton Rapids Journal mu, and one of the Lansing Kepublican quill drivers have been fooling with tbe spirits who are under the special guidance of one l)r. Slade. fhey were both mystified. A trick which '"spirits" in any shape are apt to serve people who tamper with them. The issue of the Alpena Argus for AuOHt 4th itiitiated the tenth volume of that eoterprisiDg journal. A cut of a handtouie new Hoe power press which the office has just put in, is given, and tbe paper strU off grandly on tbe last year of' iu 6rtt decade. The Argus is a live, wide awake journal, and is deserving of success except ia its poli ic, which the people will look out for. The Grand Kvcoing Pot, neutral in politics, Da ojio jij a;b ¦ at -¦ manlike letter of acceptancc of Gen. Hancock : "Hancock's paragraph on the civil service reform niight have been oniitted to the iniprovetoient of his letter. It goes without saying that incompetent or dis honest persons should not be appointed to public offices, and should be cjected if appointed. And it savor of the ridiculmis to have a man make a statement as a bid íbr votes. The democratie party must be in a very bad state if it can' t stand anything stronger in the civil service line than that." A lively political discussion is in prospect at Pontiac, providing tLe democrat of the first part, as usual upon such occasions, don't back out The Gazctte says: "Hod. Aaron Perry having declared that the republicans did not dare to discuss political issues, Hon. Andrew Winters comes to the rescue and will meet Mr. Perry in a public discussion of democratie principies ut the eourt house in Pontiac, at any time Mr. Perry may appoint. Mr. Winters was formerly a slave in Virginia and knows all democratie traditions and practices in that democratie atronghold. Unless Mr. Perry makes a square back down there is fun aboad." A remarkably quiet state of things exista in Mexico according to the Little Traverse Republican : "González has been chosen president of the republic (ao-called) of Slexico, by a large msjority. As compared with the usual iuternecine tumult to be found in Mexico, the country may now be said to be in a state of quiet. One or two small insurrections are in progress in certain provinoes, to be sure. But as the oldest in babitant in Mexico is propably unable to remember when bis country was entirely free from revolutiou, these tempests in very sniall teapot probably augur nothing serious. Since h'n election, González has been shot at only once, by an assassin ; oowgnnntlj the situation may be regirded as quite cheerful, for Mexico, and the political horizon as comparatively (uiet." The Allegan Tribune pleads forjusticc frt thú raA r,an ¦ l Thp crnviminent's lor tne rea man: jut; juvuiuuicut a m,iment of the Ponca Indiana is a disgracc. The krger part of them, about 400, are in the Indian territory, discontented and wrctched, will not cultívate the land there becausc they have been robbed of their lands and home on the uld reservation, to which they yearn to return. About 150 have managed to get back there and are doing well - have put more land under cultivation than the 400 in the Indian Territory this Buoimer. Thare can be no reason why the government should not allow the 400 left to return to the old reservation- it is undoubtedly within their power to do it, and the feeling of hunianity- pity for a weak people, and regard for their love for their homes, should induce the government to send thetn back. Sonieof the best and most influential people of Nebraska are interesting theuuelves in behelf of these Iodians." The report of a great number of republicans joining the democratie club at Muskegon is denied by the Chronicle of that city: "The demócrata of this city last week announced tbat fiftyone soldiere had joined the Hancock veterans' club, and that, several of them were republicane. We did uot believe a word of the report at the time and we are now more than ever convinced that it is utterly false. In the first place if it had been true it would have been in the mouth of every democrat in the city, and the democratie organ would have been standiDg on its hind legs bowling ever bince, but such is not the case. Second : diligent inquiry has failed to.discover a single republican that has joined said club. Two or three who have boen named as such were found to be dved in the wool demócrata, and altogether the report has turned out to bo a very thin, transparent affair that will deceive nobody. Soldiers who fought rebels in '61 are slow to hug them now." The Evening News gets oflf, very frequently, some wise ideas, but has never said anything more to the point than the tollüwiug: As Dusiness iiuprueo wu catch-penny advertisinjr schemer begins to show hb face again. l'crhaps his proposal contcinplates framed cards in the hotels or od the street corners; or it niay take the forni of a business directory, or a history of local manufacturing interest. hatever it may be beware of hiin. Such advertbing is in nine cases out of ten a swinale, aüd the inoney spent fur it wholly throwo away. Ii' one would advcrtise let hiui do it through the regular legitímate mediumsthe well-established daily and weekly local new.spapers, the wellknown directory publishers, or through one of the legitímate advertising agencies. Everyone soliciting advertising should be required to show his crcdentials, and thfy should emanate from persons or firms of known rcsponsibility. Look out for adveutuiers, and never pay an thing in advanc to any solieitor."
