An Interesting xgOrk.

The New York Advertising Agency of
Messrs. Rowell 81 Co. have recently issued a
catalogue of American publications which
presents some interesting information. There
are 6, ,432 periodical publications in the United
States, of which only 507 are daily news
papers. The bulk of this number is made up
of weekly newspapers, amounting in the ag-
gregate to 4, 750. There are 6S5 monthlies,
and so quarterlies, the remaining 331 being
divided among the weekly, semi-weekly, and
other occasional publications. Florida has
no daily newspaper. The Territories have
81 publications, including 1S dailies, and the
British Dominions have 403 periodicals all
told. The number of daily newspapers in
the country has decreased "A during the past
year-a circumstance that may be useful as a
warning. New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago are the great centers. The State
of Illinois takes high rank in the comparative
amount of the current literature it furnishes,
issuing 51s periodical publications. larger
number than any other State except New York
and Pennsylvania. Among the journalistic
specialties, religion has more organs than
anything else, agriculture, education, Free
Masonry, and Odd Fellowship following in
order. There are "a medical periodicals

Elrcs That Iinxe Ceres.

The fire of 1885, in New York, which de.
siroyed only $15, ,OOO, 900, stood alone in all
history on this continent, and yet how in
considerable when compared with that of
Boston or Chicago! The class of conhagra-
tions the last year has introduced to us is al
together new. Their great magnitude gives
them, as it were, II different nature-yiz
They develop n local heat which is so enor-
NOUS that it drives opposition away. Smaller
fires may be approached, even il they tri-
unph in the contest with human agencies.
But when, from any cause, they cannot be
met on their own ground, human art has not
yet attempted any regular system for arrest
ing them. Such fires, as the extreme con-
trast of Chicago and Boston show, but little
heed the kind of building, the degree of COM
pactncss. or other circumstances affecting
contagion of fame. The conclusion is plain
that, when once a focus is hot enough, the
mercy of Heaven alone can determine whith-
er wind may carry it. If, then, the space,
for example, between Wall, Fulton, William
and Greenwich streets, in New York, hap
pened to become solid coal, the gentle
breeze, which so commonly sweeps up in the
line of Broadway, would as certainly cover
Manhattan Island with ashes as it has coy
cred the ground now glittering with the
splendor and thick with the firesides of
million of souls. fla. ... ...s....

A w0man,s Strascgcnss.

ll A story comes from Athens about Greek
brigandage, very refreshing to honest people,
and suggestive of the question whether wo-
men might not govern Greece better that It's
men. One of the curses OF modern Hellas,
rs everybody knows, Is the unextirpated guild
of brigands, who infest the land, defying the
government, suppressing commerce, demor-
alizing peasantfy, and numbering strangers
or rich natives. One of these unhanged vii
lains recently captured the youthful son of q
widow woman OF property, well known upon
the border. The usual message was sent
down from the hills The brigand chief
must have one thousand drachmas by q Ger
tain day, or the life of the boy--he was only
twelve years old-would pay the forfeit. As
usual, too, the last hope which mother
could cherish In such position was the
chance of government help. The wretchedly
weak administrations, which play ''in and
out in Athens, still allow these scoundrels to
hold the roads and passes of the country, and
this poor woman had to trust to her own
courage and wits. Neither were wanting
there was some true old Odyssean blood In
her, and she hit upon a plan for saving both
her child and her drachmas. She had a bro
ther, young fellow of perfect pluck, though
his cheeks were as smooth as the Dellan
Apollo's, and him she dressed up carfully as
Greek girl: Having appointed to meet the
AoooCl SnlCL hbu CcItdiu SpOt, SIG LOOK up
two hundred drachmas, and present of
cakes and fruit, the ''Greek girr' going with
her as guide" On reaching the place
they found the scoundrel waiting, with the
captive bound hand and foot beside him, The
woman first ascertained by cunning questions
that the man was really alone, and then Of
fered, with many supplications, her money
and the present of cakes and fruit. The vii
lain took the latter, and munched while he
counted out the drachmas; then, with a fierce
oath, he said 1t was far too little--that she
must go back and send up enough to make
up thousand, or the head of the lad would
be sent down to her without delay. While
the woman chung suppliantly to his knees,
the 'Greek girl' suddenly flung grip of
iron around the robbers arms, and, as the
fellow was thus pinioned, the outraged mother
drew loaded pistol and shot him dead. The
pair lost no time in liberating the lad, nor did
they forget to cut off and wrap in cloth the
head OF the ''chief y and as reward of
three thousand drachmas had been set upon
this precious article, they made quite an ex-
cellent days business of it, On arriving safe

held at Radersburg, NJ. r., ON the evening OF
December II, 1872. s-.== !. 'r.
The meeting was called to order by the
Hon. J. c. Stuart, of Jefferson, and on mo-
tiOn therefor made, A. G. p. George, Esq,
was elected President, and George +. Cowan,
ESQ.,, Secretary. The President, after stating
the object of the meeting, introduced to the
assembled citizens Wilbur F. Sanders, of Hel.
ena, who addressed the meeting for about
one hour and half, clearly showing the ad.
vantages accruing to the people of this
Territory from being connected with the
outside world by line of railway, and
also showing the necessity for an immedi-
ate session of the Legislative Assembly of
the Territory, in order to provide for right
of way through private lands George s.
Coleman, Esq., of Bozcman, was then in
troduced, who, owing to the lateness of the
hour, spoke but short time, dwelling prin-
cipally upon the untold advantages to a peo-
pie following the advent of q railroad into
their midst. NJ -s., ....-. -. ...,,, (
Thefellowing resolutions were then offered,
read, and unanimously adopted by the meet
ing, to wit: . ', ,.. .I'o" .,!,
Resoised, That this meeting considers a
North and South Railroad highly desirable to
the Territory of Montana, and essentially
necessary to relieve us from the stagnation
and depression under which we now labor.
ResoIDed, That such road should be con-
structed with the least possible delay, and at
the smallest possible public expense. -, '.
Resogced, That to forward this object, we
deem an extraordinary session of the Legis-
lative Assembly necessary, and that 1t should
confine the labors of the session to this sub
ject, and in convening the same the Governor
shall have our cordial support. ~
On motion, the thanks of the meeting were
rendered to Col. Wilbur F. Sanders, of Hell
ena, and George s. Coleman, Esq, of Boze-
man, for their able and entertaining efforts,
as speakers of the evening.

Talking of salaries, the priciple of civil

and the Justices of the Supreme Court sat
