NIGHT WORK AND DAY WORK.

To those engaged in the work of getting
out daily newspaper, says the Baltimore
American, the question as to the mum Der of
hours that shall constitute days work is a
theme in which they feel no direct interest.
They must commence work when the work is
ready for them, and not stop until it is done.
The old rule "from suRrise to sunset" would
be glorious relief to them, and as to eight
hours constituting days work, they would
regard themselves as transformed to a
heaven OF bliss. There are few persons en-
gagged in newspaper Office who work less
than from twelve to sixteen hours per day
and during the winter season not less than
ten of these hours are by gas light, closing
at 3, 4, and o'clock in the morning. While
other people are sleeping soundly in their
beds, the editor, with his corps of assistants,
is busily at work preparing to spread before
his readers at the breakfast table news from
all parts of the world, with a COM
plete record of the days and nights
doiDgs in his own locality. When
ordinary MORALS get up in the morning the
newspaper man is just TURNING in for his
first nap. Twenty years ago the American
was put to press at 10 o'clock in the evening.
A few years later II O'Clock was the hour,
and from that time to the present the
closing hour has been extending into the
morning until4 o'clock is now about the
time for ending the "day's work. in the edi-
torial and composing rooms. Fast presses,
equal to the printing of 10, 900 to 1900 copies
per hour, have thus become essential to the
rapid delivery of the paper to the carriers
and news agents by this turning of night
into day. The telegraph which formerly
closed before midnight, now ticks stesdily
on night and day, and the newspaper people
must wait and watch for its ticking to the
last possible moment. If the newspapers
do not, therefore, go into spasrns over the
exciting question of limiting days work
to a few hours Of day light, it must be attri-
buted TO their envy OF those who are blessed
with calling that will permit of sach lux

MOTHER AND SON.
ROMANCE AND REALITY.


An incident is narrated by Inc Evansville
Journal which has its happy continuation
in that city: Twenty weight years ago Mary
Stowers, slave woman, belonging to Har-
rison Showers, of Owensboro, was sold to
parties living In Shelby county, KY, and
was, with her little girl of two years, taken
away, leaving her boy, Willis Green, then
four years old, with her former master, John
Showers, who had sold her to his brother,
For some time after her sale she managed to
send word to her boy occasionally, but after
q couple of years she was sold to the dreaded
negro-trsders, and was taken South. after
which all trace of her was lost. The boy
Willis grew to manhood, and by the
events of the war became free and came to
Evansville. During all these years, not
having heard of his mother, be supposed her
dead, but her memory was still bright and
he often thought of her as she must have
suffered in the cotton field under the lash of
the cruel taskmaster. On Monday he was
almost electrified at being told that an old
woman, claiming to be his mother, was in
the city in search of him, but the lapse of
time had been so great that he was incredu-
lous, but faint as the hope was, he deter
mined to follow it. and see if it should prove
deluslve. He went, as directed, to the house
VI lilS uuCic, GuWdIU OdNIS, anu tQer6 met
an old woman who clasped him in her arms
and wept over him as her son. To test the
genuineness of her claim, Willis asked,
'How do you know am your SOM" And
the old woman gave her reasons, detailing
facts that were known to him as having oc-
CURED. He then shove her his right hand
and asked, "Can you tell how | lost that
little fnger?" YES" replied she, 'syour
young master cut it of while chopping 9
trough" and Willes accepted the evidence
as much stronger than that of the traditions al
strawberry mark. The aged woman, after
being sold TO Alabama, was placed on cot
ten farm, and worked as field hand until
the close of the war extinguished slavery.
AS soon as free, she determined to return,
and worked to that end, bnt i'll health sew.
eral times interfered TO prevent, and it was
not until two weeks ago that she found beI
way to Lewisport, and subsequently, to
Owensboro, where she heard that her daugh-
ter was dead and her son, and brother ed
Davisl, were in Evansville, and, now after q
separation of twenty-eight years, the old
and broken down woman has found her son
who rejoices at the reunion, and welcomes
her to her humble home.
