Cases are constantly occuri ng where if the jjublieher of a newspaper listened to th£ promptings of sympathy alone he would (jorfte very short of his fluty. It Is his business to publish the nfews, not to mrpress it; and if he at­ tempts to conciliate one party by sur­ passing something that they desire to keep a secret, but which justice requires shoultl be made public^ he is anre to call down upon his own head the just indignation of those who believe that newspapers were invented for the purpose of disseminating information rather than of concealing facts. The only safe course for a publisher to pur^ site, is to state fairly, without fear or favor, what he believes to be true and right, whether the blow is to fall upon the fingers of his friends or the toes of his enemies; and having clad himself in the invincible armor $f truth and jus­ tice he will be prepared to reeiove the inevitable kicks that are sure to be dealt from right and left, and especi­ ally the rear. From a personal experience of many years in the managemeut of a news­ paper we have long ago learned to ex­ pect J;hi8 kind of treatment, and if there is any marked cessation in it we are thereby admonished that we must be neglecting the faithftil performance of our duty. There is no better evidprice not only 6f the Impartiality of a publisher and the thrift of his business, but of the fact that his efforts are appreciated by his readers, than that somebody is con­ tinually complaining because their '•corns" have been trod upon. 'Of course there will be cases where the publisher is misled by designing or thoughtless persons, and will be betrayed into saying something which will work in­ justice to the innocent. But any pub- li«i»er who lows justice is always ready and glad to make ample amends in such cases. * V ~ JUST ARRIVED. MRS. C.

MARKUS, 1FQQD3TQCK, JI»I< THE CRYSTAL LAKE PICKUC FACT$IIV. Iii the Chicago Times" court column we find the following; The litigation ih the Crystal Lake Pickling and Perserving works, loca­ ted in McHenry county, in this state, is at present taking up a large portion of the time and attention t fthe courts* ffef-lAPt, **fll be ^wtembei^df wtuffibw^rteli a bill in chancery was filed in this court by John C. Meyer, Hubert Staf- fort and A. M. Berston, against the corporation, John F. Thomas, Frederick A;, Wuiduer, Wm. Archdeacon, and the l^unisens, of Baltimore, Md., for the plirpose of closing up the affairs of the vinegar concern. The court heard tjie motion and at once appointed Mr. antton receiver to take charge of the iisiness and look into its affairs. Since he filing of the bill tlie litigation has ncreased with amazing rapidity, de- ejopjng all manner of alleged /muds, and giving both eid«s of the story which jteemlngly has involved a num­ ber of eomplainant-s aud defendants in law to susb an extent that there is no predicting where the litigation will end. A voluntary petition in bank­ ruptcy has been tiled by the work", and Waidner and Thomas have fPfde some disclosures before the register. With this state of affairs, Messrs. Bennett, Kretsinger & Veeder, solici­ tors for the complainants, will to-day tile a supplemental bill setting forth, that the whole proceedings of the di rectors of the pickled pickling-works, iA assuming the indebtedness of Arch­ deacon, Its president, and fn giving the bonds, trust deed, and judgment: notes to Waidner, and his subsequent transfer of a portion of tbein to his partners, (the Numens, of Baltimore, were frauduleat and void. The prayer of the bid is that the court may set aside all the transactions with fth* W#idner« and restrain him, Thomas, the Baltimore partners and Archdeacon from taking any action Coward collecting or selling under the securities given. To still further complicate matters, it will be seen, under the head of the Federal Courts, that an involuntary pe­ tition in bankruptcy was on yesterday filed against Waidner and the Numens by creditors representing nearly $70^ Written for the Pi-ATWDEALEH. OLD MAIDS At a natural sequel to the last article we drift insensibly to the genus "Old Maid," in conformity with the Physical law of "cause and effect," or in plain words, the single man is the cause and the old maid is the effect, not however an effect in the legal sense, which a vul­ gar mind might interpret to mean a fixture, chattel, or mere piece of bed- rooni furniture, but an eSeci or resuit generally consequent on the apfttliy, reckless, indifference, foul neglect, and criminal oversight of aforesaid single man, who sinfully perverts his career of usefulness here below, diverts his tal­ ents to selfish ends and purposes, to the exclusion of their legitimate object, early attachments and maritial pursuits, which alone can elevate the soul and invest a creeping mortal with the dig­ nity of manhood and the proud con­ sciousness of having accomplished a divine mission, a worthy deed. All reverence then to the old maid, and to her do we doff - our feathered cap in token of unfeignted respect. She em­ bodies all the christian virtues, and prominently those of forbearance and resignation, alloyed perhaps with a, certain tartness of disposition, as from her maidenly pedestal she looks down with sadness and anguish On the way­ wardness and provocations of the op­ posite sex, whom she would fain re­ claim into ways of righteousness, with the lasso of femiuine graces and vir­ ginal desperation. In the oft recurrent year of "Leap," a year fraught with dangers to turpid and vacillating males she vindicates her rights by waging a deadly crusade against all eligible swains, sighing or stubborn; chaiges them at the point of the bayonet, aud claims allegiance from their black hearts by force of conquest, by the overwhelming force of petticoats, which both capture and extinguish the enemy, like a truant butterfly eneoared under a stove pipe hat. It may be indiscreet for us to trace these lines in war times, when the Ku- Klux virgins are even now on the war path, soouring the country with mana­ cles aud bold propositions, and may at any given time, in the silencc of night, like the witches of Macbeth, when owlets fan the air like weird shadows of ill omen, lay siege to our latticed nwe batch of litigants iuto not only the State Courts, but also (he bankrupt Courts. tfaTThere is nothing like being a lawyer if a fellow wants to be fairly remunerated for his labor. Here for example, is Mr. Henderson of Missouri, who. for a few months past, aud untij very recently, has been engaged in prosecuting tjie whisky ring in St. Louis, Now he brings in a bill for his service of #30,000, and we d»J*e say he will get it, Who says it doesn't pay to be $ lawyer, if one can have employ? meuf;^ 60 pairs Horse Blankets )PW $Hric$ 9$ Bucklin $ Steven's, trust to Providence, former from attack, the contempt of the enemy and general unfitness for duty or utility, as iustauced by the doctor's certificate pasted on our front door, which repre­ sents the augers mark as a salutary warning to old maids troubled with Leap Year. Not, however, that we claim exemption from these worthy ladies on other than these grounds, or on assumed merits of our own, but sim­ ply because we ain't on it, and modesty forbids that we ever should disappoint the sanguine expectations oi all or either oi them. To the curious and Indelicate reader, the question perhaps arises, what con­ stitutes an old m#ldf Where does it begin and where does It end? Were we a wag, we might answer, it never begins, but It ends in the grave. But we will abstain frrm trifling rjlnsions and simply inquire into the "rise and progress,"-in distinction to th& term "rise and fair of the old maid. Her condition may be self imposed. In the arrogance and splendor of her teens, she may have toyed and dallied with the hearts of princes and millionaires in McHenry County, until they found refiige from her rigors in the nearest ditch, or loop holed themselves into hemp rope and oblivion, carrying her imperious image with tbem to heaven or otherwise. Her youthful imagery may have created unto her longing eyes and panting bosom, the maritial picture of a winged poet, a peerless Chicago Bum--.--that is Chicago drummer, a curly headed clerk or a perfnnied book agent, whereas a provoking f»te strands her oo the Jap of a horny h»ud«d, pl«g chewing youth, whose breath in vain attempts to remind her of gentle zephyrs or the spicy breezes of ceylon. who anoints her ear w|th tincture of honey dew, or drenches the firepla^ With forked jets of eloquence »nd liquid passion. Mebbe, however, that like other creatu.-es of the gown, «he has not hud a call, or neglectful of leap year did notcajl herself, an aggrava­ tion of circumstances like unto jump­ ing from the frying pan into the fire. All these accumulating causes have been the stumbling blocks upon whloh rosy feet and dainty ankles have tripped whilst ascending the acclivity of life, and reaching its summit with <u>r»i«# b""<on* Rru' hnrde»e*I soles our subject now peeps down Us declivities with stiffened limbs and » gently fad-, ing brow, « The proverb tells us that where Ig­ norance is bliss His folly to be wiw, and by virtue of that philosophy an aU wise Providence has decreed, that a, ip*iden shall ofrer fenew term of her old maidenhood has com­ menced. She may fear that It has, bat no force of intuition oi mental effort can ever convince her that this epoch of life, this climax, this ebbing ot the tide, has actually been reached She still flouts her banner to the sky, with the undying motto ntt desperandum. Still verdant, adventurous, she is ever ready to come to the scratch, and ia willing to be rescued at any given time. Hat" o!T reader, Obcisancc to the ok* !«ftidv * TADPOLE. WlUbum Uegnt Garrison as n ' On Friday morning last an elderly gentleman entered our office and said it was his birthday. He Was 71 years old. Fifty years age* on the 10th of December, 1825, he had attained, his majority and finished his apprentice­ ship as a compositor In this office, having served seven years and two nnntte He wished to celebrate the anniversary by setting up matter where he had learned the mystery of printing, and to see if his hand had forgotten its din­ ning. A case and stick were according­ ly furnished him, but the copy he se­ lected himself, "My Psalm," by Whit- tier. The gentleman proved to be a rapid and correct compositor; in fact, no errors could be discovered in his proof. His name is tolerably well known in the world. It is Williafift Lloyd Garrison. At the time when Mr. Garrison was the oldest apprentice in the Herald office, Joseph B. Morse was the youngest, and while the matter was being set Mr. Morse came in and met his old fellow-workman celebrating his semicentennial. William Lloyd Garri­ son is a native of Newburyport, and was educated in its common schools.--- Nct^^port (Mass) Herald. ^ ; • ? , * 3 F o o l i s h L i t i g a t i o n . ' * ' f Six years ago Messrs, Wolcott, John­ son & Co., of Freehold, N. J., sola to Lewis D juOuiii, u farmer, p'iweuiy* live-cent package of what tM(y rejane- sented as leed that would produce excellent early turnips. The ^eedr brought forth late turnips and of snelt poor quality that Mr. Mount was com­ pelled to feed them to his cattle. 9fr. Mount sued for damages before ft. Justice of the Peace, and was granted a judgment of #99 damages,"' The plea of the defendants was that they haul 1 1 intended. Appeals were Supreme Coifrt, and then to the Court of Appeals, and these all affirmed the original decision of the Justice of the Peace. In the suit, #10,000 dai legal expenses have been paid. WHAT IS A FOP?--Mr. Stark, in a lecture before the Young Men's Associ­ ation, of Troy, New York, ga*er « definition of the above: "The fop Is a complete specimen of an Outside philosopher. He is one-third collar, oils-sixth patent leather, one* fourth walking stick, nisnd the net gloves and hair. As to bis remote an­ cestry. theis is some doubt; but It is now pretty well settled that be is a son of a t a Urn's goose. He becomes ecstatic at the Bmell of new cloth. He Is sainewhat nervous, and to dteam of a tailor's bill gives him the night-mare. By his air, one would judge he had been dipped like Achilles; but it is evident that the goddess held blsn by the head instead of the heels. Neverthe« lesfe, such men are useful. If there were no tadpoles, there would be nn frogs. They are not so entirely Id blame for being so devoted to Exter­ nals. Paste diamonds moat have*-*- splendid setting to mtfce them sei&*~.
