'Stop my > I paper , ' words of dread to beginners in business , lose their terrors after a pa per has been established a few years. So long as a paper pursues a just , hon orable and judicious course , meeting the wants of its customers in all res- pcets , the ties of friendship between the subscribers and the papers are as hard to break by an outside third party as the link which binds old friends in business or social life. Oc casional defects and errors in a news paper are overlooked by those who have become attached to it through its perusal for years. They sometimes be come dissatisfied with it on account of something which has slipped into its columns , and may stop talcing it ; but the absence of the familiar sheet at their homes and offices for a few weeks becomes an insupportable privation , and they hasten to take it again , and possibly apologize for having stopped it. No friendship on earth is more constant than that contracted by the reader for a journal which makes an honest and earnest effort to merit its continued support. Hence , a conscien tiously conducted , paper becomes a fa vorite in the family. ' ' THE death of Horatio Seymour , which occured at his home near Utica , N. Y. , on Friday , removes another prominent participant in the struggle of the great storm and stress period which ended in the war for the Union. For more than thirty years Mr. Seymour was a leading figure in the politics of the Empire state , respected for his abili ties , admired for his political consisten cy , and beloved by a wide and constant ly increasing circle of friends for those admirable qualities of heart and mind which make up the .genial gentleman , steadfast friend and good citizen. Flis unswerving fidelity to the Union made itself powerfully felt in the opening days of the rebellion. No northern state responded mere promptly to the call for troops than did New York , and no republican governor entered with more patriotic enthusiasm into the work of upholding tiie principle of ini-j | tinnal unity than Horatio Seymour. He was nominated by his party for president in 18(58 , but was defeated by General Grant in the ensuing canvass. Since that time Mr. Seymour took no active part in politics , but resided quietly on his farm at DeerfiJld , where lit ; died. FOUR citizens of Atlanta have an nounced their intention of 'goinj ; away from there on account of the adoption of prohibition. The news is scattered all over the country. Hardly a paper has failed to publish it. We arc also informed that the combined wealth of these four leading citizens is over a million dollars , and they are going to take every cent of it away with them. It will be a terrible blow to the busi ness interests of Atlanta , as all agree. And , yet we "suppose these four citi zens can be spared and the town still live. They will not take away any houses with them , nor streets , nor sidewalks , nor bridges , nor railroads. Even the cars that haul them off will come back next day. They will sell their property. Other citizens will buy it. Their places will be taken , the ranks of business , society and politics will close right up and the four citizens will not IJH missed. The city of Atlan ta will not suffer so much of a blow af ter all. Men coiiie and go. Imt the world never tips up. THE folly of appointing illiterate men to office because they are supposed to de good fellows and because somebody would make their non-appointment the excuse for a whine about the poor man's not having any show has been illustrat D. ed afresh in Carbon county. The market clerk atMauch Chunk is a man who cannot read writing and the clerk of the Borough Council , to whom the market clerk pays over the money col- ected as market rents , has been s\'sto- In natically giving him receipts for less than the amount of each payment. It s quite time that illiterate men were kept out of public trusts when this sort of thing occurs , as it is sure to do occasionally. The facilties in this ountry for learning to read and write are so ample that no one is discriminat ed against when public opinion makes man virtually ineligible to office till he can do so. Philadelphia Times. Some one lias figured out tliat life is like harness because it contains ' 'traces" of care , "line.- .

Tho superb and costly premiums which tho Beo offers to the patrons of its , weekly this year , is unrivalled. The njgrogate value of premiums is § 43,127.00. They comprise two eighty ncrc farms in Iowa nnd Kansas , and one forty acre farm in Nebraska ; farmlnffina- chinery and implements , nmoujr which arc one J. I. Case thresher with 12-horse power , com plete ; one new McCormick steel harvester and binder ; one six-hole geared mountain shelter and horse power ; und more than CO farm mills.corn-shellers and plows , varying in value from S8.00 to § 173 each. There are mu sical instruments , including one Emerson up right grand piano , worth $800.00 , live stock , household goods , silverware , cutlery , guns , knives , books , etc. The award of premiums will be made Satur day , March 115th. 18SU , by a committee selected by the subscribers , whomay be present at the distribution. There will positively be no postponement. A premium worth at retail , at least one dol lar , is guaranteed to every subscriber who re mits two dollars before the 13th of March. This is neither a new nor experimental scheme , but will be our sixtli successive an nual premium distribution , the flrst having1 taken place in the winterer 1879-1880. While it may seem incredible that we can afford to furnish a metropolitan weekly for two dollars a year , give to every subscriber a premium worth at least one dollar , and to in clude among these premiumsscveral hundred articles valued at from five dollars to one thousand dollars each , we are in condition to honestly carry out every promise or obliga tion which wo assume and still derive fair re turns from the paper. Nearly all the large premiums were secured in exchange for ad vertising. The most costly articles we have traded for so far as to involve only a compar atively small outlay in cash. For instance our lands were bought of the J.I. Case Thresh ing Machine Company and they take out * 1,000 of the purchase price in advertising. The same is true of the Case threshing machine , for which we pay less than one-fourth of the retail priceiu cash and balance in advertising. Many other machines we have on this list are purchased without paying out any money. The minor premiums , such as books , albums , cutlery , plated spoons , etc. , are bought in very large quantities at wholesale prices and with liberal discounts. The margin between what we pay out for premiums , postage and inci dental expenses is large enough to leave us a fair subscription price for the paper. Our list contains the names of thousands of sub scribers who have patronized us for many years. They attest that we have kept faith with our patrons and enjoy their full confi dence.Ve could not afford to do otherwise. The Uee is now in its fifteenth year , and its founder and editor during all these years is also the principal proprietor. He has n repu tation at stake , and could not be a party to a disreputable or fraudulent scheme without being ruined , und destroying his paper which now occupies the front rank in western journalism. The subscription price of theVeekiy 15ee with premium is two dollars per annum. Direct your remittance by money order or registered letter to "The Uee Publishing Co. , " Omaha , Nebraska , who will forward a num bered premium receipt which will be register- ed in our premium book.
