The NEWSPAPER BUSINESS. is
how brother journalist putsit: We
suppose that many people think that
newspaper men are persistent duns; let
q farmer place himself in similar bus
mess position and see if he would not do
the same. Suppose he raised one thous-
and bushels of wheat, and his neighbor
should come and buy bushels, and the
price was small matter of only two
dollars or less, and the neighbor says,
II will hand you the amount in few
days." As the farmer did not want to
be small about the matter, he says all
right, and the man leaves with the
wheat. Another comes in the same way
until the whole of the thousand bushels
of wheat are trusted cut to one thousand
different persons, and not one of the pur-
chasers concerns himself about it, for it
is small amount that he owes the
farmer, and of course that would not
help him any. He does not realize that
the farmer has frittered away all his
large crop Of wheat, and that its value is
due him in a thousand little driblets,
and that he is seriously embarrassed in
his business because his debtors treat it
as little matter. But if all would pay
him promptly, which they could do as
we'll as not, it would be very large
amount to the farmer, and enable him to
carry on his business without difficulty.
The above comparison is too true of the
difficulties that the newspaper man has
10 contend with.

A HARD TEsT.-Ten or q dozen men
were enjoying the hot weather which
baked the shingles on the ferry dock ga.
loon yesterday, when stranger stalked
in and inquired of the bartender:
"Have you any mint 7"
eyes sir" was the reply.
"And you have sugar, lemons, gin,
brandy and so forth ?"
~ have"
The stranger turned around to the
crowd, noticed the sudden increase of
interest in each face, and kindly said:
Gentlemen, Pm going TO treat every
liar in this room. Let the liars-the
monstrous liars-come forward"
Not foot moved.
"Gentlemen," continued the stranger,
in plaintive tone, "don't be backward.
Juleps wait for all.-Every one of you
who is known as liar will please stand
up"
The strangers face betrayed keen dis
appointment, as he ordered rousing
big mint for himself, and not o word
was spoken in the while he slowly sip
ped the cooling fluid through straw
When he had finished he wiped his
mouth and said:
swell, every truth teller in the crowd
will now stand"
Each man rose up with the prompt
ness of soldier.
"And sit down again." softly said the
man as he made for the door.
They would have sat down on him,
but great truth tellers are poor runners.

Mr.. DAVIS MIsFoRTUNE.-Mr. JEFF
ferson Davis lost his only son by yellow
fever recently. The young man bore his
fathers name and was his chief stay and
comfort. He was youth of noble char
acter and universally beloved. This
leaves Mr.. Davis childless. His little
son "Joe" died in Richmond, during the
war, of fall from the porch of the pres
ident's house. He was brilliant and
lovable child, and his death caused his
mother and father the deepest anguish.
Since the war closed Mr.. Davis lost
another son, youth full of promise.
The hand of God seems heavy upon this
noble-hearted man and his devoted wife.
Misfortunes have followed them. Law
suits have swept away their property !;
disaster has attended Mr.. Davis busi-
ness enterprises, and the business sue
cesses of the young man who has just
died stood between them and poverty.
Those who hitherto have hated Mr.. Davis
most, who have put upon his simplest
words forced constructions and who
singled him out for a vicarious sacrifice,
ought now to feel their malice turned at
last into tender respectand sympathy.

there are some few Improvements have
in my mind. You see it's got to be so
fixed that it can't get out of order. Sup
pose where one light only is employed,
it got out of order once year, where
two were used it would get oat of order
twice a year, and where q thousand were
used, you can see that it would be much
trouble in looking after them. There
fore, when the light leaves the laborato-
ry, I want it to be in such shape that
it cannot get out of order at all, except,
of course, by some accident"
Leaving Mr.. Edison to continue his
work, the reporter accepted the invita-
ton of Mr.. Grifen, his private secretary,
to view the generating machine.
"Mr. Edison has just purchased a new
one," he said, (which gives much more
power, aud in few days we will have q
fifty horse power engine to work it, as
we don't get power enough with the
present one. As regards the generators" /"
continued Mr.. Grifen, "Mr. Edison has
as yet given but little attention to them.
The cost can, by an improved generator,
be reduced to much smaller figure"

Gen. Grants Crazy Cousin.

Capt. c. c. Tompkins, of Roanoke
county, Va, late United States Marshal
of Colorado, has been adjudged a lunatic,
and was taken to the asylum at Stanton
last week. Captain Tompkins is first
cousin of Gen. Grant, and during the
late war served with gallantry and dis
tinction in the Confederate army. He
was attached to the staff of Gen. A. G.
jenkins until the death of that brilliant
cavalry leader, after which sad event he
resigned his commission and entered the
writer's company as private, and served
in that position until the close of the
war. There are some interesting facts
connected with his war record which, we
believe, have never been given to the
public. Several times during the last
two years of the war he received messages
and communications from General Grant
beseeching him to leave the Confederate
army and accept service in the Federal
army, offering him tempting commits
sion in the event of his acquiescence.
Captain Tompkins was a chivalrous,
high-lninded man, and was greatly Of
Tended by the insulting propositions OF
his cousin, the General. His feelings
became the reverse of kind for Grant,
and he seemed resolved to give him the
cut direct the first opportunity afforded.
1t 30 happened, however, that poor Char
ley had to put such thoughts behind him,
and not only meet but solicit aid from
the Federal commander. The day be-
fore the surrender ct Appomattox the
Captains horse was killed in battle.
The surrender found him afoot without
money, and two hundred miles from his
home in Kanawha county. He was a
frail, delicate man, and unable to accom-
plish such journey on foot. What to
do he did not know. The writer ad-
vised him to call on Gen. Grant, and ask
for assistance. This, although very
homesick and anxious to see his mother,
he at first refused to do. He was urged
again and again to adopt this course,
and, the second day after the surrender,
he went over to Gen. Grants headquar-
tiers and made a candid statement as to
his situation. In less than an hour lie
returned mounted on splendid charger,
handsomely caparisoned, and, in addi.
ton, had about his person $3.50 in green.

acts which, afterward, eyinced General
Grants devotion to his relatives. Cap.

A Word to Young Mothers.

Mother, with your little ones around
your knee, would You keep their sweet
confidence in years to come? Would
you lead them to the Good Shepherd,
and help them in their struggles to walk
near his side? Would you know their
thoughts and share their feelings as they
approach manhood and womanhood !?
The work must be begun, the confidence
fostered now. A loving mother may in
jure the disposition of her children, may
do them lifelong harm, by thoughtless
absorption in the necessary and laudable
occupations of life. Their tears are so
quickly dried, their troubles so soon for
gotten, that often we do not realize the
necessity of carefully regarding their
feelings.
Let me cite one or two instances. The
little one comes to mamma with some
story or incident, in which his young
heart is fully enlisted. With kindling
eye and earnest tones he begins the tale,
but when he looks for response in the
face he loves, he finds that a deaf ear
has been turned to him. His heart is
panied, and a wound inflicted which may
take some time to heal. Or mamma is
going out, and the children come to bid
her an eager goodbye; as they clasp
their arms around her neck, she says: /:
"Oh, don't hug so tight, you muss my
rufle, or crush my hat"
The wise little heads conclude that
their caresses are not much priced, and
the thought perhaps rankles while she is
gone, and causes repression of feeling
on her return. Or the city child goes
into the country for the summer, and
when he takes his first walk, brings
mamma bunch of pretty flowers"
from the roadside-dandelions, butter
cups and daisies, with the long slender
leaves of the common grass for green.
The first impulse is 10 say, "Oh these
are nothing but weeds, and they only
litter up the room." If this impulse is
not checked swelling heart and fearful
eyes are the result. Mothers are often
so pressed with care, that it seems as if
they could not take time to attend to
these little things, but they are not so
little Us we think. Better make one less
garment for the body, better lay aside
the book or pen, than run the risk of
marring by our thoughtlessness the
precious jewels committed to our care
Let the children of three and four
years feel that mamma has time to at
tend to their stories, to interest herself
in their plays; they will continue to
come to her as the years slip by; and as
they approach maturity that sight among
earth's sweetest will be seen, of the
mother enjoying the confidence of her
manly son and lovely daughter, intrusted
with all their secrets, shown their books
and letters, welcomed to their evening
entertainments, consulted in all their
plans.
No after-tie will weaken the bond be-
tween children and such mother, and
her later years will be made bright by
the thought that she is honored, loved
and trusted, by those who are dearer to
her than her own life Christian Weekly.

HIS CHIEF ANXIETY. Wednesday
evening, boy about eight years old,
who had become bewildered down town,
and whose ear had been nipped by the
frost, had been taken to the Central sta
ton to get thawed out and cheered up.
The men in charge talked to him in Il
fatherly way, put linament on his ear,
and the boy seemed full of grit. After a
time, the big tears were observed rolling
down his cheeks and the captain said:
"Why, bub, 1 wouldn't feel bad. 1t
isn't much of frost-bite."
"But it shows, don't it?" tremblingly
asked the lad.
"Why, yes, little bit; but wouldn't
cry for that"
"May be you w-wouldn't" gasped the
boy, "but you h-haint engaged to--be
married as 1 am; and that makes a b-big
difference"
They couldn't argue against that, and
the boy wept bitterly.-Erchange.
