Topps was puzzled:

Now it was the weakness of Topps never to

Topps had been known in convivial season

The STORY OF BILL FULLERTON Bill had
inherited a handsome estate from his father,
but having: neither industry nor business he
fell into evil habits, and by life Of dissipation
and riotous living had squandered all his prop
erty. For some time he had lived only on
credit. One night he was returning home in
condition of intoxication, when, being unable
to walk, he laid down in the gutter and went
to sleep. While in this position a robber .ap.
preached him, and presenting a loaded pistol
at .;t his head, demanded his money or his life.
Bill, partly aroused, thrust his hand into his
pocket and said 80 My friend, silver and gold

NEWSPAPERS FOR THE TINES the New
York Sun, few days ago, there was practl-
cal reference to the necessity Of giving news
and intelligence to the readers of newspapers
IN these days, in the most condensed form. On
this subject the Philadelphia Ledger, journal
successfully carrying out the plan, we'll says:
"There was time in the history of news
napers is this country when the chief aim Of
journalism seemed to be to spread whatever IN
Itelgence it had to convey, over the greatest
possible space of paper. The labor was to
make great deal out Of a very little, and very
frequently to try to make something out or
lust nothing at all. The search tor what is
really valuable among such masses OF words IS
like that which is set down in one OF the great
books as seeking In bushel OF chat tor
single kernel of wheat The day when news
papers could command success upon such
system has gone by. Americans are too ouslly
engaged in the practical affairs OF life, and
time With them is too precious 10 allow them
to waste it in pursuing through whole column
the news or the facts which may be and should
he condensed into small paragraph. The
first object of the busy man in these days is to
discover what is worth knowing in the news OF
the Gay, III tle SuOII ~ ooaA no Iou oi'N w
his newspaper. Hence, the journal that puts
its news in the most compact and accessible
form is the one of greatest value. Such news
papers, too, are those which are of the highest
advantage to advertisers, because they are the
papers that are reazly read, those OF other
kinds often being merely glanced at until the
mind is wearied Of the great mass of matter,
and are then thrown aside. These are the
papers, too, that are read by families of all
classes, and all parties, and all persuasions,
and thus enable advertisers to reach the home
circles, which, after all, are the places they
should carefully seek to reach. Newspapers
of this kind, when otherwise well conducted,
are sure to command not only temporary but
permanent success, and largest circulation.
This is the plan on which, ior thirty years,
We have always conducted the Alexandria

There Is a lie now going the rounds, out OF
which these Hessians hope to make some po-

paper, and Is to the effect that while In Den.

times more than his board. The bottom oil
the story is completely knocked out by the
fact that during his visit to Denver General

He said;

forefathers were half naked barbarians In the
wilds Of Britain or Germany. Inc Ohinese

from the face OF the earth, while the former

Impaired vitality. To the Chinese, the Greeks
and Romans were but modern as well as an
ephemersl nation. In China, agriculture,
manufacture, commerce, are OF antiquity un-
far beyond ali the science Of the Chsldees and
whether 10 the arts Of Immortality, like
pruning, or In tnOte OF mOfthllty, hke gun
powder, they are oar masters. They are the
only people of ancient or modern times with
whom moral and mental culture outrsnk all
other things, and are the sole avenue to civil
station and power. And they are . people
without Q parallel In the durability Of their
Institutions and the vsstness Of their adapta-
ton. What living language can count with
the Chinese Its thousands upon thousands OF
years OF lifei None. What nation but China
