Active Journalism.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette tells very amusing anecdote
about a former city editor of.the En-.
quirer, named Bennett. which illustrates
a phase of journalistic enterprise never
known in England, but which was com
mon enough in the West when Artemus
Ward was a s'local" on Cleveland
newspaper, and Mark Twain a gatherer
of news on the Ohio.
When news was scarce Bennett was
in the habit of inventing extraordinary
naval items for his department, a favor.

from the landing of the Newport ferry
boat into the river and TO have them
rescued by his acqnain,ances,
He had honored one Mr. Kellum
Cecilia Burleigh's first husband several
times in this way, when the fictitious
savior OF drowning iNnocents became
ired Of the joke, and at last called al
the Enquirer office and demanded that
it should not be repeated.
He was assured that his request would
he complied with, and so it was in its
letter, but hardly in its spirit, for the
next day the Enquirer contained par
agraph TO TIE effect that beautiful lit
Tie girl, the daughter OF prominent
citizen Of Newport, had fallen from the
ferry boat into the river, and that Mr..
Kellum, who was standing by, and
could easilyhave saved the child from
watery grave, had refused to render
the least assistance
When Kellum, boiling with rage, went
to the Enquirer to seek an explanation
of what he had begun to regard in the
light of persecution, his threats ot
vengeance were suddenly stopped hy

Considering the lives of those who
sit behind horses often depend on the
soundness of bit or strap, it is re-
markable how little attention is paid to
the condition Of harness by these who
trust themselves, not only in strange
carriages, but also in their own vehicle.
An English journal, devoted to the har
ness trade, after observing that scarcely
a day passes without the occurrence Of
an accident arising from bit breaking
while in the horses mouth, points out
that there are three ways of making
these bits. One is to forge them
throughout with the toughest iron or
of soft steel; the other is 10 use cast
checks, and forge the mouthpieces !;
while the third is to cast them through
out. The first is the only method that
should be followed, but buyers will not
pay the prices asked, and manufacturers
cannot afford to sell them for less. The
wrought mouth is the next best, and if
the check has been properly annea!ed,
it makes most serviceable bit Cast
checks, however, are not always trust
worthy, and the manufacturer is as
likely to be deceived in this respect as
the buyer. The cast bit is one that
ought never to be used Harness ma
kers should inform their customers Of
the quality of the article, and leave the
responsibility with the buyer. If for
the sake of the difference in price be-
tween two kinds a man chooses to risk
his life by using the poorer bit, neither
the harness maker nor the bit manufac-
turers should be blamed. The bit and
reins should always be of the strongest
kind, no matter what the merits of the
rest of the harness.

The SOaniafts In Clba.

George Alfred Townsend writes to
the Chicago Tribune: Twenty months
ago l visited Havana, and gave you an
idea of the bIoodthirsty gang which
rules there around the tomb of Colum-
bns, who happily never was of their
blood. CockGghters, bull baiters. cruel
as teaches, and subject to wbill-winds
of frenzy, but never to the contagion of
pleasantly, they resembled an Ameri-
can prize6ght in perpetual session.
Their ignorance is more dangerous than
their cruelty for it has none of the re
straints of ordinary prudence as it is as
likely to sack the residence Of a Con
sui, or to shoot an American Admiral,
as to kill a parcel Of school children -
Havana itself IS an anomaly even when
Spain has it under guard; the hoary
wearer of the Visigothio Crown, prop
ped almost at the cape of our two long
lines of coast and as much out of place
there as the Turks in Crete. Proximity
to our coas. has in measure changed
the scope, hut not the nature, of the
Spaniards of Havana They are louder,
freer, more aggressive, than at home
in Spain, and partake of the character
istics of the neighboring slave holding
cities Of the United States, expecting
their editors to fight aad be abusive
Many of them have no conception OF
the size and physical vigor of our large
cities, and yet they do not possess a
place on their coasts to repair ship OF
war, have no artilleFists of accuracy on
land or sea, no provisions to stand
siege-nothing but audacity and the
love of blood.

How the indians Climb Trees.

In Soath America even the weaker
women may be, not uncommonly, seen
l!ucking the fruit at the tree tops, If the
-,ark is so smooth an6 slippery they can
not 90 up by climbing. they use another
means. They make a hoop of wild vines
and, putting their feet inside, they use it
as support in climbing The negro of
the west coast of Africa makes larger
hoop round the tree, and gets inside it,
and jerks it up the trtink with his hands,
a little at time, drawing bis legs up af-
ter it. The Tahitian boys tie their feet
together, four or five inches apart, with
piece of palm bark, ,and with the aid of
this fetter 90 up the cocoa palm TO gath
er nuts. The native women in Australia
climb the gum trees after opussums !;
where the bark is rough, they chop holes
with hatchet,t then one throws about the
tree rope twice as long as will 60
around it, puts her hatchet on her crop
ped head, and placing her feet against the
tree and graspinI the rope with her
hands, she bitches it up by jerks, and

RSpen!ns for Death.

Rod as Providence wills it, be enjoyed

and that with full submission, without
murmuring, lamenting, or repining -
There is one important law Of nature
which we should never lose sight of
mean that of ripening for death. Death
is not break in existence, it is but an
intermediate circumstance, transition
from one form of our fnal existence TO
another. The moment of maturity for
death cannot be decided by any human

-tenpt to do 80 would be nothing better
than the vain rashness of human pride.
That decision can only be made by Him
who can at once look back through our
whole course; and both reason and
duty require that we should leave the
hour to Him, and never rebel against
His DEGREES bv a single impatient wish.
The first and most important thing is,
to learn TO master ourselves and to
throw ourselves with peaceful confidence
on Him who never changes, looking on
every situation, whether pleasant or
otherwise, as a source from which our
interior existence and individual char.
acter may draw increasing strength ;
and hence springs that entire submis
sion which few attain to. although al
