Well Said.

The following from The Mobile
Register we earnestly commend to
the press of the whole country:
There is absolutely no reason
why newspaper should trans
greSs the rules. of christian de-
corum and decency. Pbe excus-
es commonly made for the publi-
cation of shameful and disgusting
details of obscene crime, or other
matter offensive either to good
taste or good morals, (and viola
ton of the one is not necessarily
a violation of the oiher,) are ut
terly lame and impotent.
There is no reason why q news
paper should not be as free from
impurity Ur indecency as the dai-
ly conversation of refined chris
tian family. Thenewspapersh should
be a publication which a father
might place in the hands of his
or brother in those Of
his sister-in short, which should
enter any household without the
necessity of preliminary exami-
nation. The plea that it must be
a mirror" Of all things going OIL
in the world-things base. vile,
and disgusting, as well as things
pure and hcnorable-is the shall
low sophistry of prurient incli-
nation. 1t will not bear exams
nation, as it would not bear being
carried out to its full extent, even
in the eyes of those who urge ii.
1t Is no answer to say that news
papers in general fall far below
the standard we have indicated.
1t is too true that they do, but
this proves only that tn, ir actual
standard is debased. That it is.
80 is (partly, at least the fault
Of the public that tolerate it.

What Advertising Did.

Millaud, the banker and news
paper speculator, who died re-
Gently in Paris, and who foun-
'ded the Paris Petite Journal,
which at one time had a daily
circulation Of nearly half a
million copies, was an enthusi-
astic believer in the advantages
of liberal advertising. One
day he had at his table nearly
all the proprietors of the lead
ing Paris dailies. They con-
versed about advertising. Mil
laud asserted that the most
worthless articles could be sold
in vast quantities, if literally
advertised. Emil de Girardin,
of La Presse, who was present,
took issue with him on the sub
ject. 'tWhat will you bet, D
exclaimed Millaud, ''that | can
not sell in one week one hun
dred thousand francs worth of
the most common cabbage seed
under the pretext that it will
produce mammoth cabbage
heads ? All that | have to do
is to advertise it at once in a
whole page insertion of the
daily papers of this city. y
Girardin replied that he would
give him a page in his paper for
nothing if he should win his
wager. The other newspaper
publishers agreed to do the
same thing. AT the expiration
of the week they inquired OF
Millaud how the cabbage seed
had flourished. He showed
them his books triumphantly,
and satisfied them that he had
sold nearly twice as much as he
promised, while orders were
still pouring in; but he said the
joke must stop there and nc
further orders would be filled

How to Play a Chime of
~ a1f.i 81 Bells.

The New York MtH tells its
readers something about chimes
how they are rung, &C., with a
particular discussion of the Trini,
ty church chime in the Empire
city. y
'fhe "chime" at Trinity con.
sists of nine bells, each of which
weighs several hundred pounds and
the largest of them even running
up into the thousands. Of course
no air whose notes cannot by the
musicians ingenuity be brought
within range Of those nine notes,
can be properly nslormed.
No two bells Rre ever struck
together, and such "a thing as a
''chord" is unknown in Ginning.
The notes follow one after anOth-
er, somewhat like a child trying
to play tune on the piano with
one finger. ..
Five of these bells, the large
one and the four smaller ones,
were brought from England in
1916; at a later date, bells "nec.
essary to complete the octave"
were procured of the Menetleys,
at West Troy.
The huge bells, though set on
swinging frames, are lashcd so as
to be firm and fast, but the tongues
are movable, these being swung
from the centre to one side by
means of a cord to each.
The tongue always strikes pre-.
else in the same spot OH the lip
Of the bell, thus securing unifor-
nifty of vibration and certainty
OF tone. Each tongue or ham
mer is provided with a damper,
on the plan Of dampers to the
strings of piano, and for the
same purpose-to prevent unde-
sirable prolongation of the sound,
and the consequent running of
the notes into each other.
The cord passes from the ham
mer Of the bell doWn one story to
the ringers room ; it is there at
tached to a long wooden bar, the
leverage of which is so adjusted a,
to make the striking of the tongue
as easy as possible.
But even the playing tune on
Trinity bells is no child'S play
Imagine nine large levers, each
one, at the end where the hand
touches it, as big as drayman's
hand spike. The player takes off
bis coat, Is up 10 his work
and begins.
Every note struck requires a
sudden pull, or downward thrust
Of the lever, with a power which,
if put into a blow, would be suffi-
cient to knock down the strongest
man. No wonder that at the end
Of the time the performer is in
profuse perspiration.

Novel Suit for Damages

Says the Albany Kaickerbocher;
"We understand that a most
singular case is about to be insti,
tuted BY one of our we'll known
citizens against a merchant, Tor
damages in causing the death of
his wife, and setting damages at
$4,000. 1t appears that the
merchant, who is dealer in drugs,
was in the habit of selling to the
wife of the merchant referred to
laudanum for personal use, in q
clandestine manner; that the wife,
on one occasion, took dose Of
said laudanum, which was the i'm
mediate cause of death. Previous.
to the woman becoming addicted
to the use of the drug, she was a
healthy, intelligent, and happy
woman, a loving wife, doting par
ent, and industrious helpmate.
The husband claims that through
the influence of the drug, his wife
lost her health, she became de-
pressed in spirits, and death TO-
lowed, causing desolation in his
home and sorrow in.his heart. Be-
lieying that all this was produced
through the sale Of the drug, he
claims damages from the seller,
on the ground that he knowingly
sold the poisonous article, fully
aware of its disastrous eff cts on
the woman in question.

Tennessee.

The following circular, sent
out by John Moffat, Commits
sioner of immigration at Nash
vile, gives in a terse, concise
way, fact relative to Tennessee,
which will be found valuable to
those who take an interest in
our State:
"Tennessee contains 29,000,-
900 acres Of land, of which on
ly 100000, are improved, but
from this small portion the pro-
ductions by negro labor before
the war, principally corn,
wheat, cotton and stock, made
the State third in wealth in the
Union. This indicates the
character of the soil.
"Negre labor is scarce, depre-
ciating real estate % to 80 per
cent. This depreciation can
be Immediately restored by re-
liable and sufficient labor, be-
cause our markets are better
now than before the war. Thus
a bonus OFFS to 80 per cent.is of
fered to every farmer that will
invest and work here.
"Slavery abolished necessi-
tates diversity of industries
Nature has provided peculiar
advantages for manufactures
in Tennessee. Inexhaustible
iron ore Of the best quality, cost
at furnace 81 20 to s. 90 per
ton, is made into pig iron for

nient.
"Large populated centers, old
society, railroads, navigable
rivers, table lands and valleys

attractions to honest and indus
trious immigrants elsewhere.
"Our industries need capital
and skill and will pay royalty;
for it; if with skill no matter
how small the capital.

"DOlly Warden +"

Dolly Warden, the fortunate
yo1ng lady after whom the fash
ionable dress for the next Summer
is named, was the charming daugh-
ter of London lOcksmith, Gabri-
el Warden by name, and lived in
the reign of George the Third.
The New York Mail, which an
swers a correspondent on the sub
ject, says: "For further informa-
tIon we would refer our inquirer
to a certain book of reference
called 'Barnaby Rudge,' written
by one Charles Dickens, an au-
thor of some local reputation.
Whether the lady in question was
given to wearing materials of a
startling loud character in color
and pattern this deponent has no
knowledge nor information sufh-
cient to form a belief. About
year ago, however, some inspired
modiste re christened what were
then known as "cretonnes, AID
called them "Dolly Yardens." Z" The
name was at first confined to
chintzes, but it spread to the 9TH
er materials. At late dry goods
exposition Dolly Warden" silks
were exhibited; and now whole
costumes, whose like was never
seen on sea or shore, are named
after the charming and coquettish
little daughter OF a London lock-
smith.
