ign -tuand .erad TI-WiTKLY EDITION. Patent Outsldes, Our' able contemporary of the Athens Watchman flays patent outsides in most approved style as follows: - What are "patent outsides"? Like Radicalism, they came into use since the war. There are newspa perc ostensibly printed in populous counties, whore the county advertis ing pays well, but really printed at Cincinnati, Chicago, Nashville, or some other distant point. The pu tative editor has nothing more to do with the matter which is published on two of the pages (the first and fourth) than the man in the moon. This is selected, prepared and print ed at headquarters, and furnished publishers at a moderate advance on the cost of paper. How is this done ? In the first place, when the matter is once sot up, an edition is printed for the "Bungtown Ranger," then the title of the paper, the date line, the name of the editor, etc., is changed-which can be done in a fow minutes. An edition is then printod for the "Shakorag Enter prise." After undergoing similar changes, this work goes on ad in /init un, until two or three Hundred papers have been printed with differ ont titles, for different localities and as many different publishers. The expense of type-setting, instead of being saddled upon one paper, is divided among two or three hun dred. In addition to this the party furnishing these printed outsides reserves the right to occupy a certain number of columns with advertise monts. . Although inserted at rea a )nably low rates, they aggregate a vast amount in the two or three hundred papers. Well, all this is a "cute" Yankee trick, and not only enables the so calledi "auxi iary" publiahor to coin money, but saves the country editor the expense of printing one-half his paper. Of course, ho loses all con trol of that half of it. At headquav tors in Chicago or elsewhere, they put in whatever they please, which leads to some funny contretemps. For example, we saw, not long ago, in a paper edited by an orthodox preacher, an article on the outside attempting to prove that the hell re ferred to in the Bible was the valley of Hinnon, near Jerusalem, where all the offll of the city was deposited and burned-while the editor, (good, pious soul !) had been preaching "hell and damnation" all his life ! But what of all this ? Have not publishers the right to buy ready inade newspapers, if they can pre vail on the reading public to take them? But county officers have not the right to advertise in them. Papers with "patent outsides" have beps aeolarod by the courts, both of New Jersey and Pennsylva nia, to be not proiper miediums for the publication of legal advertise nments, inasmuch *as they are not prin'din the county in which the interest affected by such ad1vertising .exists. The courts of Georgia will no -doubt hold the same doctrine, when -ever a case is brought hofore them. The law w'ill -never -become a party to a fraud. If the Southern TWatch man, or one-half of it, were printed in Chicago or Nashiville-notwith standing the printer thero prints "Athens, Georgia," in the date line, it would not be a compliance with the law to publish legal advertise ments in it. The thing would bear upon its face a fraud-the dato line p~rinted in Chlicago is fraudulent, be cause it purports to have been done in Athens. Our courts cannot to1, orate such frauds unless they ,should becomie as corrupt as some 6of the courts 'under scalawag and ,carpet .bag rule-a thing which we believe will niever occur in Geor This matter is worthy of con sid. oration, as these "patent outsides" are springing .up over-ywhere, and taking from thet legitimate press of tihe country, which is identified with the peopl)1 in interest, the patronage which rightfuilly belongs to It, and transferring tile money wrung -from the estates of wido ws and orphans 'and the property of mi.fortunate debtors to tihe packets of -their one mnies residing in Chlicago or Cincin nati.

How a Man Hunts fo' Qlean Clothes. Did you over see a man try to find a clean shirt or a handkerchief, or something in the bureau drawer, where his wife keeps her linen ? It most happens when he is in hurry, when lie has got his fireworks tem per on, and his wife has got the baby on her lap, or she is up to the elbows in dough. He finds the white arrayed in such symmetrical layers as only a woman after long practice can accomplish, and he dives in a good deal as he would fish for nubs of kindling in a barrel of shavings, pitching every thing right and left on the floor ; meanwhile, as he fails to get the the desired article, stewing and swearing and offering up selected ex pressions of relief to his feelings in a suppressed tone of voice, and vowing in a way especially designed to reach the ears of his wife, "that it beats the old-what's his name ?-a thing can't be put where it can be found." About this time the wife yells out from below that the article sought is right at the top, when he sarcastical ly wants to if she supposes he has "got no eyes." And then he gathers everything up in a bunch and rans them bach anyhow, just as he can grh them in savage handfuls, tearing around and jerking things all over with a ners vous looseness. Then lie sigs out in a sort of abstracted way, as if addressing no one in particular, "th it he can always find anything lie needs at his place of business in a moment ; that he keeps a place for everything, and eve 1ything in it place," Just about tho time ho has work ed himself into a great worry of boiling over impatience, and got the whole room in a litter, his wife glides in and lays her hand on the missing article, right in the drawer, where he had jerked it out and rammed it back again, in that quiet way a woman hais of maddening a choleric husband into a fit state for the lunatic asylum. An exchange says, "Lord Macauley made it a rule to pay all bills within twenty-four hours." Of course that means twenty-four hours after he got the money to pay them with. The iule is an excellent one, and should be imitated. 'vE~crE TI.'ir PURIFIEs TnE BLOOD, RENOVATES AND INVIOORATEs THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
