We visited the West Knd Photograph

The Puhlic Lethwr Almanac for
1872 is on our table, from the Publisher
Ueo. Y . (Jlulds, riiiladeipma. it oon
taihs a large amouct of valuable infor

umes that have succeeded it, forms a
useful and interesting series. The
Almanac is distributed free to the sub

Godev'sLady's Book for February,
1872. The illustrations of the Febru
ary number consist of two Valentine
plates, a handsome fashion-plate, au
alphabet of interlaced letters, a large
presentation sheet of braiding patterns,
and the second of the series of Miss
Lolipop's Party. In the work depart
ruent the usual variety of designs for
fancy work occupy a large space. Bril
liant and entertaining reading matter, by
popular authors, combine to make this a
spirited number.
Local Newspapers. A local news-
paper is the traveling agent, taking his
weekly round to the families of all their
customers. No matter whether times
are good or dull; no matter whether
trade is brisk or otherwise, no business
man can afford to take down his sign,
nor withdraw the pleasant weekly chat
with his customers through the news
papers. For a business man to 6top
advertising would be equivalent to bis
saying, "I have stopped buViness, and
ask no more favors of the people."
Accident. Caused by a Broken
Rail. Last Saturday rooming, 19th

Luckily only two persons were iu the
caboose at the time of the accident; the
conductor of the train, Phillip Fisher,
who was badly bruised about the face
and bad one tooth knocked out, aud the

severe cut over the eye besides sustain
ing other alight injuries. Dr. liorJ

The Pennsylvania Petroleum
Trade. The Titu3ville Herald gives
the total shipments of Petroleum from
the oil regions fortbe month of Decem
ber last at 459,478 barrels, nn increase
during tho month of 00,274 barrels.
The total production for the month is
thus shown to be 549.452 barrels, an

an increase over the daily average for
December, 1870, of 2.500 barrels.
The Pay of Governors. The
Illinois and Massachusetts Legislatures
are about to raise the salaries of their
Governors. Tho Governor of California
is the best paid Executive in the Union,
with 87,000 in gold; Pennsylvania deals
out $5,000; New York, Louisiana and
Texas, 84,000; Connecticut, 81,100;
Delaware $1,383; and Rhode Island, be
cause of its diminutive proportions,
comes last, with a Governor puid lrss
than 820 a week. From which it ap
pears that the trade is not a profitable
one.
The Largest Debt in the World.
When the German indemnity is puid,
France will have the largest national
debt of any country iu the world,
amounting in round numbers to 81,
000,000,or more than double the present
amount of the public debt of the United
States. An idea of this unprecedented
national burden may be formed when
we state that it represents a sum equal
to $l25per head of the entire popula
tion of France.

A Cotemporary has some remarks ou
the custom of standing treat, so prev
alent in this country, and advises its
readers to make a resolution to discouu
tenance the custom by every means in
their power, without regard to the im
putation of meanness with which they
may be assailed. It says this is one ol
tbe most senseless humbugs of tbe age,
and a man might as well feel obliged to
ask a casual acquaintance when he
meets him in a shoe shop, to select cov
ering for his feet, as to feel bound to
ask him to dnuk when he meets him
in a barroom. Our own opinion is that
tbe best way to settle tbe debate about
treating is to Mop drinking.

THE " -
KEW; YORK TRIBUNE.
FOIt I87U-
Tle consolidation of Italy, so long frag
mentary and Impotent, into one powerful
State, with Home as its capital: the hu
miliation of France throuch a series of
crushing defeats, ending with the siege
and eapitnlniion of her proud and gay me
tropolis; the expulsion of the Rurbuiisfrom
the Spanish throne, and tho substitution
for them of a scion of the most liberal
among royal houses; the virtual absorption
of the kingdoms of Saxony, Wurltcmherg,
Bavaria, with Baden. Hesse, the Ilanse
Towns, Sc.. tinder the headship of Prussia,
into the triumphant and powerful empire
of Uermany: and the arming of Russia to
rcasert her preponderance in tho councils
of Europe, or to prosecute her often post
poned but never relinquished designs on
the great city founded by Constantine and
the vast but decaying and anarch ial do
minion of the 8ultnn, all combine to invest
with profound interest the ever changing
phases of our tidings from the Old World.
The Tnini'Nt, through trusted correspon
dents stationed at all points in Europe
where great movements are in progress or
imminent, aims to present a complete and
instructive panorama of events on that con
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged strug
gle between middle-age Feud
alism and Ecclesiasticism on the one hand
and Nineteenth-Century skepticism and sec
ularism on the other. Recognizing a Di
vine Providence in all that proceeds and is,
it. looks hopefully on the great conflict as
destined (like our our recent convulsion)
to evolve Irom strife, disaster, and seeming
chaos, u fairer and happier future for the
toiling masses of mankind.
In our own country, a war upon corrup
tion and rascality in office has been inau
gurated in our City, whereby the govern
ment of our State bas been revolutionized
through nn initial triumph of Reform which
surpasses the most sanguine anticipations.
It is morally certain that tbe movement
thus inaugurated oannot, in its progress, be
circumscribed to any locality or any party,
but that its purifying influence is destined
to be felt in every part of the Union, re
buking venality, exposing robbery, wrest
ing power from politicians by trade, and
confiding it to those worthiest and fittest
to wie'd it. To this beneficent and vitally
needed Reform. The Tribune will devote its
best energies, regardless of personal inter
ests or party predilections, esteeming the
choice of honest and faithful men to office
as of all New Departures the most essen
tial and auspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democrat io
party of its hostility to Equal Rights re
gardless of Color has divested our current
po.itics of half their bygone intensity.
However parties may henceforth rise or
fall, it is clear that the fundamental princi
ples which have hitherto honorably distin
guished the Republicans are henceforth to
be regarded as practically accepted by the
whole country. The right of every man to
his own limbs and sinews the equality of
all citizens before the law the inability of
a State to enslave any portion of its people
the duty of the Union to guarantee to
every citizen the full enjoyment of his lib
ery until he forfeits it by crime such are
the broad and firm foundations of our Na
tional edifice; and palsied be the hand which
shall seek to displace them! Though cot
yet twenty years old, the Republican party
hr.B completed the noble fabric of Emanci
pation, and may fairly invoke thereon the
sternest judgment of Man aud the benig
nant imilo of God.
Henceforth, the mission of our Republic
is one of Peaceful Progress. To protect
the weak and the humble fron violence and
oppression to extend the boundaries and
diffuse the blessings of Civilization to
stimulate Ingenuity to the production of
new inventions for economizing Labor aud
enlarging Pioductiou to draw nearer to
each other the producers of Food and of
Fabrics, of Grains aud of Metals, and thus
enhance the gains of Iudustry by reducing
the cost of transportation and exchanges
between farmers and artisans such is the
inspiring task to which this Nation now
addresses itself, and by which it would fain
contribute to the progress, enlightenment,
and happiness of our race. Io this great
and gojd work, The Thiuimb contributes
its zealous, persistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be more es
pecially elucidated in its Weekly aud Semi
Weekly editions; to which somq of the
ablest and most successful tillers of tho
soil will steadily contribute. No farmer
who Bells $300 worth of produce per an
num can afford to do without our Market
Reports, or others equally lucid and com
prehensive. If he should read nothing
else but what relates to his own calling aud
its rewards, we believe that no farmer who
can read at all can afford to do without such
a journal as The Tribune. And we aspire
to make it equally valuable to those en
gaged in other departments of Productive
Labor. We spend more and more money
on our columns each year, as our country
men's generous patronage enables us to do;
and we arj resolved that our issues of for
mer yean shall be excelled in varied ex
cellence and interest by those of 1872.
Friends in every State! help us to make our
journal better and better, by sending in
your subscriptions and increasing your
Clubs for the year just before us!
