The NEWSPAPER MANA.-Some arithmatician
asserts that within a few years one hundred news,
papers have started and failed in Chicago, and
that 800 900 600 have been sunk X in journalistic
failures in New York. No number of warnings
are, however, sufficient to deter individuals from
undertaking fresh journalistic ventures, when
there is seemingly no field for them. Since the
war, New York and Philadelphia have had a
whole crop of new dailies, all of which, with one
exception, lave been unable to obtain u living
foothold. Notwithstanding this, the two cities
are to have four more daily papers within a short
time. So much pluck, enterprise, and capital
We're deserving of a better fate
How TO KEEP WELL.-Mrs Henry Ward
Beecler says it is always well to have either a
bath full of water near where one sleeps, or if no
bath, a pail or tub full, set into the room q
water is one of the best disinfectants, cleansing
the air by taking up all the impurities from it as
fast as they arise. But this water should be let
off in the morning, and fresh water used for
bathing or washing and if you need drinking
water in your bedroom-and it is well always to
have it near-do not let it remain open in your
room, as it absorbs impurities, and would be
unfit for drinking, but either have a lid to your
pitcher, or cover it with a thin cloth, to keep dust
and insects out, and set 1t on the ledge outside
your window, In the pure, fresh air.

Bottoms, opposite Cairo, William Rodney raised
a crop of corn that will do to talk about. On
eight acres he produced $3.50 bushels. This is
equal TO 1871 bushels to the acre. Talk about
the valleys of the Nile and the Amazon, the
Scioto, and Miami! They are a barren waste
compared with our Missouri Bottoms. If any
body wants the documents" Mr.. Rodney can
furnish them in the certificates of his neighbors
and Mr.. Clark, to whom he sold the corn, and in
fact that he is ready to bet $50 that he will raise
the same quantity Of corn on the same land this
year.
Jay Cooke, the wealthy Philadelphia banker,
has just given his annual fete to his Bible-class,
which it is his custom to give at this season of
the year at his cOuntry-seat, near Philadelphia.
Here he has 9 neat school house, a pretty hapel,
and a commodiOus ball. Long ago he established
a class for the religious instruction of the work
ingmen on his place. and is himself the instructor.
1t numbers nearly $50 members. The programme
was amusing and varied, consisting of all sorts
of athletic games. A sumptuous dinner in the
open air, with beaucoup de cake and ice-cream,
concluded the entertainment. Band of music,
etc. People went away at six. Everybody
happy, everything lovely, and the bird suspended
very high.
PREMATURE BURIAL.-A terrible story, reported
from Agen, and attested both by a doctor and by
the Directeur des Pompes Funebres shows that
fears of premature burial in France are not
unfounded, in consequence of the law command
ing nterment within twenty-four hours after
death. A young lady of Agen died about a year
ago, and was buried in the cemetery of Sainte
Fol. A few days since her mother also expired,
having before her death expressed a wish to repose
in the same coffin with her daughter. A large
coffin was accordingly constructed to contain the
two corpses, and the body of the young lady was
exhumed. 1t was then discovered that the wind
ing sheet had been torn open, and the right hand,
which was disengaged from its folds was deeply
marked with bites. On the lid of the coffin were
some marks made with the crucifx which lay on
her breast, and the whole circumstances of the
case left no doubt that the unfortunate young
lady bad been a victim to the horrors of prema-
ture burial. Intense excitement prevails in the
neighborhood, and an Official inquiry is to be
made on the subject.
